Is there a way to change the primary computer for iphones?

I have been using managing my iphone through my itunes on my home PC, but just recently bought a new laptop and would like to make my laptop the primary computer for my iphone. How do I change it?

There is no "primary computer".  iOS devices sync to one and only one computer.
What you can do is copy or move the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.  Doing this will allow syncing with the new computer without iTunes saying the device is synced to another library.

  • Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"? (OSX 10.10)

    Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"?
    I can change it for one conversation, but then it resets to the default, tiny font.
    The preferences menu only lets me change the conversation font.

    Hi,
    As you may remember there used to be a Messages pane to the Preferences where the Font and colour of the Balloons or background and the Font text colour could be changed.
    And there was a Format Menu for character, word and Sentence changes in the current IM or iMessage.
    Those have gone in Yosemite's version of Messages (Despite it retaining the designation of Messages 8 the same as Mavericks' version).
    All that can be done now is set the size of the font and this has been moved to the General Section of the Preferences.
    The Yosemite version has also been fixed to using the Balloons style of send and receiving any type of messages as well.
    Changing the Font would involved editing the Balloon.transcript file.

  • Is there a way to change the default angle for effects or a quick way of selecting 90 or 180 without typing in numbers?

    The app developer chooses the alert sound, or provides a way for you to change it.

  • IS THERE A WAY TO CHANGE THE NOTIFICATION SOUNDS FOR REMINDERS?

    IS THERE A WAY TO CHANGE THE NOTIFICATION SOUNDS FOR REMINDERS?

    Yes you can, in the sense that this is an "Alert" sound you've set for the whole Mac software, and of course this is set in System Preferences > Sounds > Sound Effects. This will change the "alert sound" for the whole Mac.
    So, No, you can't change only this particular Alert sound. If you could, it would be done in System Preferences > Notifications, and your only option there is whether you want the sound or not (Chkbox on "Play sound when receiving Notifications")

    Is there a way to change the alert tone for the find my iphone app? The one they use from the factory is terrible! I tried it out and could hardly hear it from 5 feet away!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately, so far as I am aware you cannot change this tone. I must admit I don't fully understand your problem, I've tried it myself and can hear it from some distance away.

  • Is there a way to change the font color for emailing and the signature?

    Is there a way to change the font color with email signature on the iPhone and iPad?
    I changed the color in Word on my laptop, emailed and copied to my signature, but it converts it back to black........

    Looks like you didn't get a reply on your post, but it is still a problem.  Font size is supposedly changeable via "Accessibility" in Settings, but it doesn't work.  You can turn on "Zoom".

  • Is there a way to change the default action for clicking a "Print" button on a website to open Print Preview instead of the default system printer?

    When I am at a website that contains a button for printing (Gmail, for example), is there a way to change the way that functions, so that when I click "Print", Firefox will open Print Preview instead of taking me to the default system printer?

    You can apply  system-wise "negative" color effect under Settings > General > Accessibility, by toggling the White and Black switch - and, in iCab Mobile (and some other, better browsers / PDF readers), its own "night mode" negative color scheme.
    Otherwise, no, you can't do anything else except for asking third party app authors to add selectable back/froeground (=text) colors to their apps.

  • Is there a way to change the trackpad gesture for "show desktop?"

    I find the "spread with thumb and three fingers" gesture kind of cumbersome. Is there a way to change it in system preferences to something else?

    Just FYI, someone on another topic suggests spreading all 5 fingers at once to reveal the desktop and I, personally, find this FAR more effective (I couldn't do the 3 fingers + thumb either).
    They also said you could use use fn+11 and that seems to work too.

  • Is there a way to change the default icon for a sound file in KN2

    i have need to include dozens of sound files on each slide that will trigger as text builds. i can handle all the transitions fine but i cannot figure out how to change the standard icon for the sound file.
    i would prefer to have the text be the icon, if that is not possible to have a smaller icon for the file. as i build the page i am ending up with a huge mess, icons covering text, also there is not a intuitive way to tell which sound file is which with out click/playing each file.

    we modified the line width and a few other things. You'll have to modify all the pcxml files for all the chart types you want to customize.

  • Is there any way to change the default folder for new finder windows...

    ...Or even set a different folder as the "home folder"?
    I am recovering from an incredibly messy archive and install which refused to allow me to save my old user accounts, instead moving them all into "Previous Systems". In my haste to get the machine working again I just dragged and dropped my old home folder into the /users/ directory and changed the "short name" of the new account to match it. IT worked, but now I have an incredibly irritating problem. That is now indeed my home folder, as appears in the sidebar of all finder windows, albeit under my new short name instead of my old one. All my documents in iWeb, Garageband, etc are working now and default to the new folder.
    However, Finder has not recognized this, and every time I open a new Finder window or anything like that it defaults to the home folder created by the reinstall, which is now locked to this account (so all the folders have a red no entry sign on them). I would very much like to tell Finder to ignore this now defunct folder and default to my actual home folder instead - is there a way to do this without actually moving or changing any folders? Like a preference setting somewhere? I know there's the "Advanced Options" pane in Leopard but I've been completely unable to find anything like it in Tiger

  • Is there a way to change the default colors for iPad apps?

    I noticed one of my friends iPad 2 had a different color scheme for apps and I would like to change my iPad 2's default ( which is currently grey). To elaborate, the default color for the borders and tabs in Safari are grey on my iPad, my friends are blue. Would like to change from the drab grey color to blue also but I cannot find a setting for this. All applications and Setup apps have this default color scheme on my ipad. Do I have to reset the iPad and start over with setup to achieve this? Hope not, perhaps someone can shed some light on an easy way to do this. Thank You!

  • Is there a way to change the snooze interval for reminders?

    I've dug around in the preference and looked online, but I can't see a way to change how often it reminds you about an alert if you hit snooze.  I liked having the option to delay things by an hour or a day like I could for alerts in Lion.  Thanks!

    This is a major loss of functionality that seriously, and negatively, impacts my Mac experience. I'll have to look for a 3rd party calendar app now and hope there's one that has it.
    I can't understand what the designers think they gain by subtracting such useful functionality. Perhaps some users were confused by it, but that seems unlikely -- it certainly wasn't difficult to understand.

  • Is there a way to change the i of for loop

    Hello,
    A Labview question. A tusk should be repeat 10 times in a for loop. so the value of i in the for loop will be changed from 0 to 9. Sometimes, some tusks may repeat one extra time. It there a way to let me change the value of i in the for loop?
    Thanks a lot
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    the i terminal will always output the iteration number (0 through 9 in your case).  But there's nothing that says you can't perform some weird math or use case structure with it.
