MacBook Air stolen, how do I sync with new one?

My MacBook Air got stolen a few weeks ago. After trying to recover it, offering rewards, 'find my [Mac]', etc. I bit the bullet and bought myself a new one. I had Time Machine backups, so restored those onto my new MBA and off I was as if nothing had happened. Pfew.
That is, until I tried to add some music on to my iPhone. A new Mac, so it needs to be set up to sync with the new Mac. I use iCloud for backing up my iPhone, but music still requires a link with my computer. And so now I'm worried ... what will happen when I link the phone to my new MBA? I don't care about the music I'll lose, I have this in my library. But will it require me to re-download my apps, what about the app settings and content? What about my photos?
Without access to the original Mac, with the new Mac set up and in use for a while now,
how do I get my iPhone to 'sync' with my new computer, without losing anything other than music and videos on there?

    I have Outlook installed on my MacBook Air and it doesn't sync with my iPad mini or iPhone 4S when I delete a message. However, when I delete a message on either the iPad mini or iPhone, the message deletes on the MacBook Air.

  • I am typing this with my old MacBook Air, and I have now seen the new one. What are some of the differences?

    I am wondering if I should get the new one, and if it I can switch books.

    Hi Nicola
    Managed to get a quick reply on this.
    Apparently it has something to do with SING, whatever that is.  These SING Removal instructions helped, well solution number 2 did and now InDesign opens.
    Best wishes

  • I just changed my macbook air. I copied everything to the new one but cannot find my mailboxes

    I just changed my MacBook Air, and before I did that I copied all my info to the new one, actually they did it at a MacStore. I`m sure I have all my info in the new one but, cannot locate the Mailboxes in Mail. Where should I look and how can I import them as they where in my old MacBook air? Cheers

    The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings in caps, such as ON MY MAC. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for MAILBOXES), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The  MAILBOXES category can't be hidden.
    In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.

  • TS4062 how to Wifi Sync with new computer

    My iphone wants to wifi with a computer that no longer exists.  how do I get it to look for a new computer?  I teathered it to my main computer and authorized it.  Still looks for wrong computer.  ***

    iDevices are not backup devices.
    Attempts to sync an iDevice to a new computer will result in the media on the device being removed and replaced with the media from the new computer (i.e. nothing).
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

  • Lost old computer how can I sync with new?

    The computer I used to sync my iPhone has stopped working and I really would like to sync my phone so is there any way to sync my phone to another computer without losing everything?

    Whatever you bought/downloaded from iTunes Store can be re-downloaded from there to your new computer and synced to your iPhone, or iPod. Just sign into your iTunes account.
    As far as music that didn't come from iTunes Store there are non-Apple programs to move music from your iPhone to iTunes on your new computer.  I'm using PodWorks (not cheap,~ $8); another is Senuti. There are many others & some good ones are free.
    I agree that you should be using a backup.  But that's not the question you asked, just something we all need to do. Saves a lot of headaches.

  • My hard-drive (SSD) on my MacBook Air crashed; had to replace it with new SSD! Installed Mavericks but now cannot find 'free' iPhoto App to download and install. Any help?

    Trying to re-download & re- install my iPhoto since replacing my SSD. Its no longer free & I have had it downloaded/ installed it when I installed OS Mavericks the first time. Now since the SSD is replaced, not sure it recognizes it & does not let me download/ installed iPhoto for free. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you -

    Log into the App store using the Apple I'd you used to set up the computer and reinstall from purchases (you may have to unhide or accept it)

  • I have an Ipod classic sync'd to a PC. The PC is no longer working. I purchased a new MacBook pro. How can I sync the Ipod to the new Macbook pro

    I have an Ipod classic sync'd to a PC. The PC is no longer working. I purchased a new MacBook pro. How can I sync the Ipod to the new Macbook pro

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the Mac 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 Mac 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.

  • How to connect my new MacBook Air to a LaCie hard disk with TIme Capsule backup from my old Imac? LaCie has USB 2.0, FireWire and eSata ports.

    How can I connect my new MacBook Air to a LaCie hard disk with TIme Capsule backup from my old Imac? LaCie has USB 2.0, FireWire and eSata ports.

    You can direct connect your MBA to the LaCie via USB 2 cable.  If you have an Apple Airport Router you can USB connect the LaCie drive to the router and then use Airport Utility to configure it.  Time Machine can access it either way.

  • How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    also, there are PhoneView and iRip.
