.Mac Sync and Erase and Install

I have .Mac set to sync my keychain items, calendars, contacts, bookmarks, mail accounts and rules, and Yojimbo notes. If I perform an Erase and Install of Leopard, and add my .Mac account information and sync the same items, will those items be restored on my computer, or wiped out on .Mac since they would all be empty after an Erase and Install?

Hey there,
As long as you have authorized your computer and erased and synced with your new library, then you should be ok. Just be 100% sure that all your original music and files that were on your iPod are in your new iTunes library. Then, go ahead and "Erase and Sync." Hope this helps.

    how to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

    There's not much sense in purchasing a Mac to run only Windows on it.  Keep in mind that drivers for Windows are a secondary concern for Apple.  While Windows will typicall run fine, things like power managment are not optimized under Windows (you'll get less time on battery while running Windows).  You will also not be able to install firmware updates.  Firmware updates might be necessary whether you run Windows or OS X as they are updates to the code in your hardware and are not OS-specific.  You must be running OS X in order to install a firmware update.  You can do this even if you boot off of an external drive with OS X installed on it.  At the very least, you should keep just a small partition for OS X on your internal drive. 

  • Isync/.mac sync and mail accounts

    Mail checks 3 email accounts for me. And .Mac is set to sync my mail accounts and settings across two computers.
    The thing is, every time I open Mail (on either computer), .mac will eventually sync, and I get the "this is going to change >5% of your mail accounts" warning. It says it is going to delete two accounts, modify zero, and add two. I always just click ok.
    But it's getting to the point it's annoying. So today I clicked the "details" section- and it shows the accounts that are supposed to be added/deleted- and they are identical.
    Everything else syncs fine, without error.
    is there something funny about mail account syncing? Why does it do this every single bloody time .mac runs a sync?!
    Thanks!

    You should ask in the .Mac Sync forum. iSync doesn't do any kind of Mail syncing - it's for syncing to phones and PDAs.

  • How can I delete all the data in Mac pro and install the latest version of OSX Mavericks?

    Hi,
    I want to know why my mac become slow and so, I want to data and system and I want to install the latest version OS X Mcvericks. How can I do?
    Thanks

    Open the App Store app:
    And, choose Mavericks:
    Then download and run the installer. Tip: It would be a good idea to quit the installer before proceding with the install, so that you can copy it or move it to location outside of your Applications folder. That way the installer won't be deleted after you run it.
    If you don't have a backup of your current Lion partition, the only way that you can do a clean install is to erase that partition, thus losing all of your data.

  • Mac Windows and installing fonts.

    Hi,
    I am a novice.
    I am attempting to install Greek fonts(I teach Greek) on Mac Word 2008.
    When I click Install Font, it doesn't show up in Mac Word.
    Please help.
    I need step-by-step instructions.
    Do I need to re-install my Word?
    Help!

    I have some old Word files that have greek text in them.
    When I open them in Mac Word 2008, the greek appears as webdings.
    Why doesn't Mac Word 2008 recognize the font if my Mac has Greek on it?
    Probably because the Greek in your files is in some legacy encoding instead of the Unicode used by all modern computers. It may require some non-standard font to read them, and such fonts are sometimes just not recognized by modern apps and OS's.
    If you send me a copy of one of the files I will see if I can find a way to convert it to something legible (tom at bluesky dot org).

    Having trouble installing this game

    It's not referencing your iTunes version.  It's referencing your device's iOS version.  An iPhone 3G has a maximum iOS of 4.2.1.  If an app requires an iOS higher than that, it will not work on your iPhone 3G.

  • Will Archive and Instal erase my version of iLife?

    If I decide to use the archive and instal method as will it completely erase iLife because I do not have an installer disk because it came pre-installed into my Mac Mini

    Archive and Install doesn't erase anything. It merely renames the old System folder Previous System folder.
    And if available the save user network settings if unchecked will move the old users folders into the Previous System folder.
    Erase and Install does just what it says.
    If you are missing the discs that came with your computer, it should have come with some even if software was preinstalled. If you got it from a non-authorized vendor, ask them to give you the discs.
    If they lost them, they should call AppleCare, and give you the discs. They belong to that machine.
    If you bought the machine from an authorized dealer, or you can't reach the original seller anymore, call AppleCare:

  • How do I change platform for downloading and installing Photoshop Elements from Windows to Mac?

    How do I change platform for downloading and installing Photoshop Elements from Windows to Mac?

    As long as your license supports both platforms you should only have to download the Mac version and install/activate using your serial number.  If you need help finding a link to download the file, please indicate the PSE version you need.

  • Partition and install Leopard 10.5 on Intel Mac Pro

    Hi,
    I've just taken the plunge and dumped my PC in favour of a Mac Pro(details below).
    MacPro2.4 8CX/6X1G/ 1TB/5770/SD
    I've successfully created a BootCamp partition and have Windows XP up and running.
    I now want to (need to) creat a partition in order to install a previous version of the Mac OS (10.5). This is required in order to install drivers that will allow me to link up with my Yamaha 01X (Yamaha have decided not to update their mlan drivers for anything above Mac OS 10.5... and I have Snow Leopard 10.6.7...
    I've spoken to the Mac support teams and have received mixed messages ranging from "Yes, you can create a partition and install 10.5" to "No no no... that'll never work".
    I'm sure there must be a way to achieve this (I mean - If I can have Windows XP up and running on my Mac surely I can create a partition and have a previous version running...).
    So far I have:
    Created a GUID partition, attempted to re-boot from the install disk (holding the C key). This hangs on the grey screen with apple logo.
    I've also attempted to boot from the disk in safe mode (Holding the shift key). Hangs on the grey screen-apple log.
    I've had the Mac OS (10.5) installed onto a external drive and attempted to boot from that (Hangs).
    Is there something I am missing? Any help, guidance would be welcomed (unless it's along the lines of re-format and build from scratch as, let's face it, that isn't an useful option).
    To re-cap: All I want to do is create a partition on my Mac-Pro and install Mac OS 10.5. I am not looking to replace my existing OS (10.6.7) with 10.5, just have a separate partition.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Grant,
    Thanks for assisting me with this.
    My Mac has Two 2.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Westmere” (8 cores)
    This link takes you to the full spec/ configuration:
    http://store.apple.com/us_smb_78313/configure/MC561LL/A?mco=MTg2OTUwMTk
    The retail version of Leopard that I'm attempting to install is: 10.5.6 so, I'm assuming, the install should work??
    Is there anything I should check/ do prior to installing? (as every time I try the DVD spins and then halts - it's like it's trying to do something but can't).
    Any pointers would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks again,
    D.

    You can install it on your iOS device (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) either by redownloading it directly on the device via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it, or by connecting the device to your computer's iTunes and syncing it to it.
    Syncing apps from a Mac : iTunes 11 for Mac: Sync and organize iOS apps
    from a PC : iTunes 11 for Windows: Sync and organize iOS apps
    As to how to then use the app, if the description on the app's description page in the store doesn't describe how to use it in enough detail, then is there a link to the developer's website on its description page, and does that have details ?

  • Mac Pro and FCP - Very Unstable

    I just purchased the Mac Pro and installed FCP 5.1.2. I have a dual 2.6 Ghz with 2.5 TB external eSATA Raid (using the Sonnet E4P card), Kona LHe Card and 3 GB of RAM.
    1. FCP, Quicktime and Shake each unexpectedly quits on playback of video within a few minutes of opening and
    2. Video in FCP and Quicktime has blocky (colored lego) defects and corruption.
    I suspect this may be the RAID or Quicktime, but this is about the most unstable FCP setup I have ever experienced since FCP 1.0.
    Any suggestions? is it my RAID controller card, Quicktime, FCP or something else?
    Thanks.

    Just found this for Dan - http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/sonnet/e4p/
    Scroll down a bit - they recommend using it in an appropriate slot - something else to check ....
    oh sorry - that's for a G5

  • Sync and ical/multiple users

    Can I have two computers (macbook and emac) running the same calendar? Both to be able to read and write? Does only one have to be read write and the other read only? How do you use your laptop to make changes "on the road" if the desktop is the publisher?

    To do so, you must synchronize your calendars using .Mac Sync and a .Mac account, or the alternative MySync application which does not require that you establish a .Mac account.
    http://www.mildmanneredindustries.com/mysync
    Calendar synchronization is an all-or-nothing proposition: you must synchronize all of your calendars if you synchronize any. This is unlike the process of publishing read-only calendars, where you can choose which of your iCal calendars to publish via .Mac or a WebDAV server.

  • Mac Pro and Airport Extreme Card

    I have a new mac pro and installed the airport extreme card. I cannot see my network but the system tells me the card is on. Any suggestions? I can connect with a direct ethernet connection.

    I bought a mac pro last year and went for the wireless option with it. You know the upgrade. Anyway it came as a seperate item and i had to install it myself. It doesn't look anything like the one pictured here, well it just doesn't have a cover like it. So anyway i can't pick up any outside networks and when i share the internet connection with it i have to put my psp right next to the case to get a profoundly amazing 12% signal, Any ideas?
