Manual backup problem to Mac with iPhone 5

Hello,
I've been trying to do a manual backup of my iPhone 5 to my Mac, but I keep getting an error message. I had even erased the phone and started over (to clear memory as well) but even that didn't help. I have the latest iOS installed (6.1.4). Can anyone help with this? It backs up to iCloud fine, but not to iTunes (also the latest version, 11.0.5). Thanks!
Paul

Is there any way to sync Outlook for Mac with iPhone? I have tried everything but not successful. Apple says it is not possible to sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5. Any help will be much appreciated.

Is there any way to Sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5? Apple support says that only iTune can only sync contacts from "Contact" which is the default contact of Mac. If one is running Outllok on a Mac machine then it is not possible to sync the contacts with iPhone. It is strange that Apple distributors are promoting and offering machines with promise that Windows users can now run MS Office on Mac machines without any problem. While this is true, it is so strange that one cannot sync the contacts from MacBook Pro to iPhone5. If someone has found a way to sync contacts from Outlook to iPhone 5 please help as it is very frustrating to not be able to sync the contacts. Thanks, Amit.

Time Machine backup created on Mac with a large hard disk. What happens when restore to MacBook Air with small SSD drive?

What if a Time Machine backup was created on a Mac with a large hard disk, e.g. 500GB iMac - and I buy a new MacBook Air with a small SSD hard disk e.g 128GB. What happens when I need to use the larger Time Machine file to set up the new MacBook Air? What happens to all those files that can't fit on the smaller SSD drive?

It is not the HD size, but rather the size of the data it contains. If you right-click your 500GB drive and select "Get Info" you can see how much is actually being used.
Naturally if you are using more space than the new drive has, then you have to make some choices about what you want to keep and what you want to keep archived.
I don't know what options are available but you may simply have to do a manual restore of files you want, in groups.

Problem calling Mac to Iphone?

I had this problem (I could call Iphone to Mac OK but not the other way round) and I found the solution was to EDIT entries inmy phone book to remove the . in any numbers! ie my phonebook entries were say 123.454.5656 and this would never work, as soon as I removed the dots it worked fine.
Simple eh? Wouldnt it be nice if Apple suggested this? I see there are hundreds of questions on here about connection on facetime. Good luck!

Copying from a Time Machine backup to a Mac with Tiger

I've got a Time Machine Backup of my MBP, which is running Leopard (obviously). I'd like to grab all of the files (recursively) from the latest TM backup of my "Documents" directory onto another Mac with Tiger.
From the command line (on the Tiger machine with the TM firewire backup drive connected), I've tried:
sudo cp -RL /Volumes/Daily/Backups.backupdb/My MacBook Pro/Latest/Macintosh HD/Users/sbrown/Documents/* ~/Documents
However, it does not follow the hard links. How can I get it to follow whatever links it needs to to give me a complete set of the files in the Documents folder?

Confirmed best practice (after hours with AppleCare)--will allow you to create a comprehensive backup of whatever you need from a former TM backup, without traversing aliases or needing to keep a Leopard install around after the initial step.
You DO need to have Leopard still installed, just once. Simply boot into Leopard, navigate to your backup volume and go to Latest--> in the Backup DB. This is your entire system as it most recently appeared. If you have enough hard drive space on your TM volume, you can copy every folder here to the root level of the same TM volume. This would ensure a complete, up-to-date and Tiger-visible backup at the root level. However, you can also just copy the folders you need--to the same root level of the TM backup--and the OS will break all the hardlinks and create normal (duplicate) files in the new location.
This is good because it bypasses your likely-small internal hard drive (which, if you're on a Powerbook, is a precious commodity). It just makes a dupe of your most recent backup. The other method (Show Original) won't let you get the entire drive state back easily. It requires manual lookup of every file you think you need, then a reboot into Leopard if you need another. This method lets you create a working archive.
Hope that helps...

Problems sending emails with iPhone 3G and outlook exchange

I have a problem sending email with exchange. Receiving and answering mail works fine and calender updates work fine. However when I initiate an email from the phone it syncs and ends up in the sent folder in the computer but never reaches the recipient. I have tried this many times with different recipients and phones. It only happens from my iphone and ipad. Any suggestions?
Any help much appreciated

The iPhone you returned is still syncing against your server and locking out your account. Someone possibly has access to your mail data. I'd recommend having your Exchange Administrator install the Microsoft Exchange Server ActiveSync Web Administration Tool (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=E6851D23-D145-4DBF-A2CC -E0B4C6301453&displaylang=en) and attempt to wipe/delete/block that other iPhone.

Unable to Sync Outlook Contacts of Office 2011 for Mac with iPhone 5

I have been struggling to sync my Outlook 2011 for Mac with my iPhone 5 via iTunes. Apple support says it is not possible. All thier stores say you can use Office on Mac Machines but no one says that you cannot sync contacts with iPhone. Why in the world Apple does not allow to sync contact from Outlook to iPhone? The apple support say that in the earlier version of iTune it was possible but in the current version it is not possible. Has some genius found a way to sync the Outlook 2011 contacts with iPhone using iTune or any other external software? I will be grateful for any help in the matter.

The comment from Apple support was partially true. If you search the web you will find that Office 2011 (latest Mac version of Office) has never been able to sync with an iPhone. Older versions (maybe), and Windows versions possibly, but not the latest Mac version. MS changed the format of just about everything in Outlook 2011. It was MS that broke the iTunes ability to sync, not Apple.
So, even though Office 2011 works just fine on a Mac, you loose the ability to sync with your iPhone. Thank the folks in Redmond for this.

I would like to know if there is any solution for this.
Also, can you go on this website and see it on Safari:

I would really appreciate all the help that you can provide
Thanks

PSE 8 Licensing problem on Mac with OSX 10.8.4

Hi,
Trying to edit some Aperture pics with my PSE 8 on my Mac with OSX 10.8.4 the following messge appeared:
Then found I could not open PSE independently of Aperture (version 3.4.5) - and kept getting the same message each time.
Not sure of the current state of my PSE 8 but my Applications Folder shows me the following:
So far as I am aware my PSE * has been kept fully updated using the Mac's automatic updater.
I have had this PSE * since new, just after its first appearance and registered it with Adobe immediately.
It has worked fine but my latest experience may be the first time of use since updating to Mac OSX 10.8.4. Not sure.

Barbara B,
Thanks for your response to my cry for help. I do not understand what is going on with this "Licensing has stopped working..." business but I have tried to implement the solutions you offered without any success. My attempts are detailed below:
Solution 1: Could not find FlexNet Publisher folder by the method shown.
Solution 2:
Found and deleted the Flexnet Publisher folder.
Downloaded the Adobe Licensing Repair Tool ( = LicenseRecovery 111.dmg)
Run License Service Update (bearing in mind this is intended for MacOSX 10.7 and not 10.8 which is my system), as follows:
Double clicked this 111.dmg to get Volume (folder) LicenseRecovery 11.6.1 and opened the folder to locate LicenseRecoveryLauncher.
Got to Terminal and opened it.
Typed sudo python with end space and dragged LicenseRecoveryLauncher app in and hit Return.
(Was not sure at all what was meant by the" path to the APP file").
Text and Password: appeared. I tried to enter my password but the screen remained totally unresponsive.
I hit return and tried to enter my password again - but no characters appeared as before. Hit Return and text appeared seeming to indicate some error. (I have no idea what is going on - the use of Terminal is totally strange to me.)
Cleared all from terminal using Edit and tried all this a second time with the same result. A screen shot is attached.
Hence had to abandon Solution 2.
At this point I saw the further solutions and decided I was not competent to use these and so suspended my attempt to get my Photoshop Elements 8 running again while I consulted Adobe further for a more user friendly approach.
I do not know if there is any other approach you can offer to make my PSE8 come to life again which does not involve a more detailed knowledge of computer management than I possess but I should like to know, in simple terms just what has gone wrong with my PSE8 that stops me using it.
Could you please answer my questions below?
Is the "Licensing" thing a problem with Adobe or with Apple or with a third party?
If the License is something issued by Adobe on original purchase, cannot Adobe simply issue me with a new license?
Do I have to buy a later version of PSE in order to use it again - and if so what guarantees do I have that the same problem will not arise in a few years' time?
Best regards,
Reg Phillips

Sync Contacts in Mac with iPhone

I've erased some contacts on my Mac, but when syncing with iPhone, those contacts appear on iPhone. How can I sync only the contacts I really have on my Mac?

Did you check to sync your contacts with Address Book on the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings? Also, make sure you meet the minimum system requirements for syncing your 4S, which include:
Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
iTunes 10.5 or later

Is anyone having problems synching itunes with iphone 5 ?

I have a Pc with windows XP. I can't download my itunes library to my iphone 5s. I could with iPhone 4.
I have the latest version of itunes on my computer.
I've been told by Apple and Verizon that my computer is too old and doesn't have the necessary drivers to run iphone 5.
Is anyone else having this same problem? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I don't wnat you to have any issues with your device, tracybayne! Let's get to work to make sure we get you up and running. Have you been able to try to reset the network settings in your phone? The best way to do that is to go into Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings. The phone will power cycle and then you will need to re-type in all the wi-fi passwords again. Once that is done, please re-test it out. Keep us posted.

Can I restore backup from another mac with time machine?

I would like to restore files from a TM backup from another Mac - is this possible? Thanks.

I'm not sure I know how to help. I use OS X Server's Time Machine services from a Mac Mini to do my back ups to a drive connected to that server. I have the same user account on one MBP Retina that does not do back ups as another MBP Retina that DOES back ups. However, I can't even open the sparse bundle from the one that doesn't do back ups of the one that does (if that makes sense).
You might try and see if this link helps. This guy was the TM guru around here. He might have addressed a solution to what you're trying to do.

Problems syncing music with iPhone

I have an iPhone 5, 64GB running iOS 7.0.4. Problems with syncing music. Please read all
For a while now I have been experiencing some difficulty with my music on my iPhone. There were a few purchased songs and some non-purchased songs (from CDs etc) that weren't going on my iPhone when syncing.
So tonight I tried to fix this and I selected to not sync all music (so all the songs could be removed from my phone) and then re-sync it all. This gave me a problem as it said 124 of my songs were not copied (these song files are definitely not corrupt or anything, they were on my phone before I synced this evening). So I tried to do the whole sync once again but I don't know what has happened this second time...
My phone is now showing 20GB of 'Other' data (this wasn't on there before). I cannot add hardly any of my music as apparently my phone has no space left (I can assure you less than 2 horus ago I had about 28GB of free space, and that was when I had my 28GB of music already on my phone!).
So yet again I try to re-sync my music (when I do this I tick/untick the 'Sync Music' checkbox in the Music tab of my iPhone in iTunes). I want to try and remove all the songs and then re-add them again. But I cannot remove the songs. There are 5 songs (I purchased these songs from iTunes store on my Mac) that will not delete from my phone. I delete them manually on my phone but as soon as I sync my phone (even with the Sync Music box UNticked) they go straight back on there!
I'm normally quite good with this stuff but I'm at a complete loss. It has been stressing me out for the past 2 hours and now it's worn me down I just have nowhere else to turn.
1) How can I remove those 5 stubborn songs from my iPhone? Perhaps answers to later questions means I might not have to do this but I'm a little OCD and knowing that there are these 5 songs that for no reason won't remove themselves off my phone is annoying.
2) How can I check or fix the 20GB of Other data? There is definitely nothing there.
3) How do I re-sync all my music? I have 4268 songs but when I tried to re-sync the first time only 4125 went on. The rest didn't but I don't know why. The files are fine, they were legally purchased etc. In fact I have one album with 100 songs, only 4 of them were synced that time. Randomly 96 of them had no space to sync? Why would only some of them go on my phone?
4) Any help whatsoever! I'm at a loss of what to do This has troubled me ever since 7.0.3.

If I restore as new will all my music, contacts, apps, message history, etc be deleted?
Okay before I try that I had one more go at syncing...
I went to settings and usage and deleted my music that way. I re-synced my phone, all my music went on except that the first 49 songs, under Song List, all play the same song. When you click on any of the first 49 songs in the song list they all play the same song (not the song they should be playing). I deleted this one song off my iTunes but it has had no effect. When I uncheck sync all songs then my Music shows No Content (which sounds good). But when I re-sync, all my music goes on (apparently) but I have these 49 copies of this one song that shouldn't be on there. The file is even no longer in my iTunes Media folder on my Mac. I guess there must be something corrupt on my phone, although I'm not sure how it has occured.

Office 365 - How sync Outlook for MAC with Iphone

Hello everyone,
I just bought a Macbook air and I use a trial version of Office 365 for MAC (I will have to by it I guess). How can I sync my outlook (calendar, contacts, task) with my Iphone???
I had a pc before (using Office and Outlook 2007) and I was able throught Itunes to sync my contacts and my calendar. But not, I don't anymore this option in Itunes??? The only way is throught iCloud? I tried and I wasn't able to sync with Outlook.
I enabled 'Sync Services' in Outlook but it doesn't works grrrrr
It look likes if the only way is throught iCloud???? How it works???
I choose Office 365 because it must have a new Office for MAC in 2014 and it will be "free" for the Office 365 subscribers. That's why I didn't buy Office for Mac.
And what's the difference with the defaut calendar in Outlook 2011 for MAC (Office 365) with the calendar 'On my computer'? Something to do with the backup?
Thank you everyone, your help will be very appreciate
