    since most recent software update with my macbook pro, contacts, calendar no longer syncs when I connect ipod touch with macbook pro. hate the cloud and want to stay "old fashioned". how can I?

    If you have Mavericks the only way to sync those items is via iCloud.

  • I was messing around with .kext files in the MacintoshHD and now my MacBook Pro won't start up.

    I was messing around with .kext files in the MacintoshHD and moved the system.kext and two others to my desktop and deleted the originals and now the MacBook Pro won't start up. All I get at start up is the apple icon then a bunch of text shows up part of which says Mac OS version: not yet set. then the apple icon turns into the power icon and tells me to turn off the computer. I've tried reinstalling from the install DVD by holding down option when powering on and selecting the install DVD and it just goes to a white screen with the apple icon and stays like that. I didn't have the disk utility on my Mac before this happened because I deleted it to make room on my computer a while ago so I'm not sure if that's why it won't load the install DVD but anyone who knows the solution to this with out going to get it repaired would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Never mind my dad just found the original install DVD and that worked. Before I was using an install disc that Apple sent me for another issue I was having, but thanks for replying so quickly and trying to help on this Thanksgiving day!!!

  • I am travelling for a year. I have my iPod touch 4g with me, but not my MacBook. Is there a way I can update to IOS 5 without losing my music,apps, photos..

    I am travelling for a year. I have my iPod touch 4g with me, but not my MacBook. Is there a way I can update to IOS 5 without losing my music,apps, photos..

    Yes. get a computer with iTune 10.5 and:
    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other stuff using a third-party program like one of those discussed here.  Most are good for music.  It is harder to find one for other stuff like synced photos.
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right-clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from backup and sync as neccessary.

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library.  If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library.  So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Help... iPod Touch wifi conflict with MacBook Pro?

    Experiencing intermittent (wifi access) conflict between iPod Touch (2G) and MacBook Pro (2010).
    If the MacBook Pro connects with the internet via our home-office wifi network, subsequent efforts to connect with our iPod Touch do not work. The iPod [shows] the network, indicates a connection, but there are no bars. Additionally, the iPod's semi-connection will disappear and reappear repeatedly.
    However, if the IPod Touch is first or only device to connect, then there are no difficulties; and it's connection does not impede that of the MacBook Pro.
    Have tried shutting down all devices, rebooting the router, etc. At times, and at best, this provides only a momentary resolution.
    Your advice appreciated.

  • I can't sync my iPod touch 1st generation with macbook pro

    I can't sync my ipod touch 1st generation with macbook pro.
    It recognises that its my ipod and says sync completed but there is no music or content on the ipod from my itunes library.

    Thanks Chris.  Have tried this but does not work.  I restored the ipod touch to original settings and erased all data a few weeks ago too as thought this would help but it hasn't.  Any advice?

  • How to transfer my iPod to a new MacBook?

    So I got a new MacBook, and I want this new computer to be the one I use for syncing. For clarity, I'll call my old computer "Computer A" and my MacBook "Computer B."
    So some people here told me to back-up and restore my iPod on Computer B, and that would fix all my problems. It didn't. Computer B still told me that this iPod was synced with another iTunes library (even though it's the same iTunes account, just different computers), and if I synced it, I would lose all my data. Well I accidentally did, but it's not a huge loss since I made a back-up on Computer A as well. But now, Computer A is downloading a software update for my iPod (5.1). My iPod is currently running 5.1 already! Why would it need to update with the same software???
    So my problem still remains.
    Is it even possible to change the computer you use to sync an iPod? What happens if your old computer crashes and you buy a new one? Then you are forced to lose all the data on the iPod, even though nothing was wrong with it! Surely Apple is better than that! Why is there no easy way to change computers???
    Sorry, but I'm really mad right now.
    Is there anyone who has ever gotten a new computer and then used it to sync their iPod/iPhone? I really have no idea what to do, and I'd really appreciate any help.
    Thanks... I hope I can get out of this mess...

    Ok, I just got off the phone with Apple, and the lady told me all I had to do was sync my iPod normally.
    Here's what I think happened: I accidentally left "Sync Apps" unchecked, because I just pressed the button. Since it wasn't set to sync apps, I got in trouble. This time, I'll change that.
    Since the same apps are there, I wouldn't lose my data. So Computer A is still downloading the update (It's really slow) and then it will restore my info. After that, I'll do a cursory "Transfer purchases" to insure that all the data corrosponds (Specifially apps, =P) and then I'll sync like normal. She said I shouldn't have any problems, and I hope she's right. However I still have the back-up on Computer A if things go really wrong...
    Wish me luck.

  • IPod Nano crashes with BMW adapter after 1.3 update

    Hi All,
    I have a 1st Gen 4G iPod Nano that I have updated to the new firmware version 1.3. The problem is that now when I connect the iPod to the BMW adaptor kit in my car the iPod freezes after approximately 1 hour and will not change play lists or tracks. Then when I unplug the adaptor the iPod is frozen with "BMW okay to disconnect" on the screen. Once resetting, the iPod will go back to normal for approximately one hour and then the error will start over again. Does anyone have a suggestion or is it possible to revert to old firmware?
    Thanks!
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hi all,
    Here is my update on the issue:
    While reconnecting and disconnecting the iPod, I accidentally dislodged the adapter from the stereo which resulted in a service call to BMW to reconnect the adapter.
    I ended up purchasing the new Product Red iPod which works fine with the adapter. To sum things up, the fact that I just updated the firmware may not have anything to do with the BMW adapter problems. The BMW adapter is finicky. I have friends with the same adapter in an X3 as well as a Mini Cooper with the same issues; the adapter becomes loose and begins to malfunction.
    My recommendation is test your adapter with another iPod and if the problem persists take your car back to BMW to fix the problem.
    *Note: Cold weather should not affect how the adapter works because mine has been working fine in -30 degree Celsius weather

  • New computer--do i erase ipod and sync with new itunes library?

    I downloaded itunes on my ancient pc and that's where I synced my ipod. i finally put that pc out to pasture and now have a new laptop. i downloaded itunes to the new computer, and when i hooked up my ipod i got the message "the ipod is synced with another itunes library. Do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this itunes library?" So do I want to erase and sync or not? I'm scared I'm going to mess everything up if I erase it.
    One more question: my daughter got a new ipod; once i figure out this syncing issue with my existing ipod, do I need to set up a new account for the new ipod, or can i sync it with the account i already have?
    sorry for all the questions--I'm a newbie and want to get this right. Thanks for your help!

    Hello. I recently had to restore my computer (as if it was new due to, to many viruses) Afterwards itunes was still there but the music i have on my ipod was not previously purchased through itunes but they were on my computer and placed in itunes library and sent to my ipod. Well after restoring my pc, itunes opened up when i connected my ipod and it asked me to update. So i updated to itunes 10. Now it is telling me that this ipod is registered to my fiance' and it is running off a different itunes library, and that I would either need to erase and sync to the new library in itunes 10, or transfer to itunes 10 library. I tried transfer and restarted itunes, but it just asked me the same questions again. It wouldnt let me create new place lists either. im scared to erase bc i have so many songs i wont remember what there all were to go back and download if it actually erases all my current songs or applications. I assumed when itunes updated to itunes 10, it would update with all my information. And although the ipod is registered in his name or however he did that, I also have sum form of account with apple/itunes because it uses my email address and my credit card during purchases for this ipod (his name is just there). i dont understand what I am suppose to do to fix this problem. These songs are still on my computer and the program where i downloaded them from but since i had to restore the whole computer, its like they are probably hidden files and arent being detected i guess. I really dont know. I have been reading and I see many ppl with the same issue. Any suggestions that wont cost me anything or a little of nuthing to resolve? I heard of Tansee Ipod Transfer but it charges you to move your files from your ipod, into a folder, to your computer, and then to be added to your itunes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks...Lana

  • IPhone 4S doesnt show charge symbol and charges very slowly on brand new MacBook Pro. Not recognised by iTunes. Charges fine on Asus laptop. iPod charges fine on Macbook Pro...

    Hi!
    I'm trying to fix a problem I'm having with my iPhone 4S and MacBook Pro.
    I did manage to connect it initially and set it up with XCode as well as iTunes.
    Today I have spent two hours trying to connect it to my MacBook Pro and I have so far found the following...
    iPod 2G - charges from MacBook Pro, Wall Charger, Asus Laptop (works with both my Apple USB cables)
    iPhone 4S - doesnt charge from MacBook Pro, but does from Wall Charger and Asus Laptop
                      - Asus Laptop running Linux Mint recognises the iPhone as a device with 'lsusb' and you can browse photos etc
                      - MacBook Pro doesn't recognise the iPhone as a device with the 'systemprofiler' equivalent of lsusb
                      - Interestingly, despite the charging icon not showing, the iPhone either maintains charge or very, very slowly charges
                         when connected to the MacBook Pro.
    Any ideas as to what might be wrong? I've tried both the USB ports on the MacBook Pro and no difference. I've tried the 6 ports
    on my old Asus laptop and they all work fine!
    Thanks for your help!

    OK.. Went to the Apple Store - they could either book an appointment with a Genius.. or send the phone for
    testing and repair. Found out I have a 2 year warranty on it so have a year left.
    My research has led me to assume that the USB 2.0 function of my iPhone was faulty from the day I got it (it kept disconnecting the reconnecting but transferred data fast), but soon stopped doing that and ran at about 1MB/s - USB 1.1 speed - and has done this ever since.
    The MacBook Pro somehow is trying to use the USB2.0 function and is not letting the phone fall back to USB 1.1.
    To test my theory I found an old USB 1.1 hub... plugged it into the MacBook Pro... then plugged the iPhone
    into that. Job done. Charging fine, recognised every single time I connect, and only took a few secs to send over my XCode app to the phone and runs fine! I guess this works as the hub forces the iPhone and MacBook both to USB1.1 mode which then works fine! Will just use it like this for a few months then send it in at an opportune moment (want to get some apps out before I lose my device for repair for a while!)
    I will in the next week or so test my iPhone on my friend's MacBook Pro (we bought them the same day but I didn't get the Retina cos I like to be able to upgrade RAM, Hard Drive, and replace battery when it wears out). I will also test their iPhones on my MacBook Pro to see whether it really is the phone or the MacBook!
    PS I will get WiFi Sync running since transferring 60GB of data over USB1.1 won't be fun... will do a full factory reset on the phone just in case there is an issue there - will post results of this too!
