Need help switching my iPhone from connecting to old PC to new Mac.

Just bought a new Mac laptop today, and would like to connect my iPhone to this new Mac instead of the old PC I have been using for forever. However, I can't seem to figure out just how to do that. Trying to avoid restoring at all costs.

Best way is to use -> Windows Migration Assistant..
This will transfer all your user data, not just iTunes.

Need help switching my iphone from pc itunes to mac itunes

I just purchased a iMac10 and I have been able to get all of my iTunes content from my previous HP but when I try to connect my iPhone to the Mac, it gives me a pop-up stating the iPhone requires v9.2 and will not work with the Mac iTunes. Anyone got any ideas?

What version of iTunes do you have installed? Help > About iTunes.

Sounds like you got it installed and activated. Don't forget your updates.

Need help & advice RE transferring from a hard drive to a new imac.

Hello, firstly I apologize if I am setting up this question in the incorrect location, I am technology illiterate even as far as forums. Recently my 2007 Imac stopped working, repair people removed the hard drive (I believe) from it for me as it was too expensive to fix the machine. My big worry now is hopefully files from my old computer can be transferred to a new Imac? Also if so, is it something I can be walked through, as there aren't really a lot of reliable tech repair businesses in my local area? Is there also anything I should be mindful of when purchasing a new computer? My old system was 20"Mac, 2.0GHz, 1GB, 250GB capacity, I am assuming as long as my new system has better specs a transfer would work, but I really have no clue? Is there any special equipment I would have to buy, should I be aiming to get a new computer with certain specs? (get a system with 320 GB capacity, as opposed to 250GB for example) Sorry for all the questions, more so if they should be obvious, any help much appreciated!

Hello and thank you kindly for taking the time to offer assistence. I believe its intel based, it is this model as linked to here.

Please bare with me so I can see if I have this right. Migration Assistent is an application or feature on the Imac I will be getting (will be a newer model than the one I posted above) - my newer computer would be considered the host and my older computer the target? Here is a bit I get a bit unsure. When the last repairmen gave me back my computer, they gave it back with the hard drive seperated - is that a factor or something worth mentioning? I am assuming that I need a wire of some sort or can a transfer be done wirelessly? I have tried figuring all this out and seen firewire cables mentioned a bit, but err I can't even find any sockets on the hard drive given to me by the repairmen whick makes me wonder if I am even looking for the right kind of info. Oh and I ~ to be continued ~

Hi ! need help unlocking an iPhone from canada to europe

I have an iphone 4
I need to unlock it to use it in italy
is it possible and how ?

When you do goto Italy, here's your provider options:

I have visited Italy and enjoyed the perks of Tre/3 IT because of a feature called Like-Home roaming.
You can visit UK, Italy, Denmark, Austria, Sweden and Hong-Kong on the 3 network and use your 3SIM just like you were still in Italy. (Data/SMS/Calls are charged the same as if you are in Venice but in reality you're in Vienna, Austria)
Also, if you just need data for maps, tour information, university, etc. get a 3 SIM from Austria, you'll get more for your Euro (up to 15GB/Month)

I need help deleting my iphone from my computer.

I have lost my iphone and found it using the "find my iphone" app. I called my service provider to suspend my account as the phone was found out of my city. I also hit the delete iphone button and it says pending: delete iphone. It will not delete until the device connects to the internet, however, I have cancelled that service so will the device not delete?

How do you do that? @ roaminggnome @roaminggnome

Need help switching to Gmail from MobileMe

I'm ditching MobileMe (MM) after several years because it's just not worth the $100/year to me anymore. I now want to start using Gmail IMAP instead with Mac OS X Mail and my iPhone.
I already have a Gmail account and have been using it alongside of the MM account. I have emails in both accounts that I don't wish to lose. But I don't want to keep using separate accounts, either. I would like to forward my MM emails for the remainder of my subscription (until September) to Gmail. I also want to set up Mail on my MacBook and Mac Pro to exclusively use my Gmail account.
I have several mailboxes set up in Mail that are stored on the MM server. Is there a way to transfer those mailboxes and the messages in them to Gmail? The problem if I do this is that there will be a significant number of duplicate messages because Gmail archives all received messages. There would be a copy from my MobileMe account (originally forwarded from Gmail) and a copy of the original message sent to the Gmail account for many of the messages in those folders.
But if I don't transfer the folders over there, I'll lose the folder hierarchy and some of the messages that were sent directly to MM and not forwarded from Gmail.
Any ideas on how I can do this? Thanks.

You might be able to push the emails up to Gmail if you have it set up as an IMAP account in Mail. But Gmail's IMAP support is really quite bad so I don't know how easy or practical this would be.
Note, Apple Mail makes it trivially easy to have messages be either on the server or on your local machine, so there's no reason you can't just move all the mail folders that are on the MobileMe servers to your local machine.
Of course, with a Mac and an iPhone and the new "locate my phone" and "remote wipe" services, I'd think it'd be a bad reason to ditch MobileMe now. Those are two services I think are worth the comfort alone

I bought a Mac and transferred my music from iTunes on old computer to new mac- now some songs are only partly on- song stops before finishing song...whats up?

My itunes on my mac and a lot (not all) of the songs that I transferred are not in complete...it shows the correct time of song but goes to next song after a certain amount of time...I have found at least 20 but know there are more as I havent checked every song...

Yes, and because of the number of comments I see about this I will say this seems to be a bug with recent iTunes. Apart from rebuilding the library from ground up I don't know of a sure cure for it. Are you running the newest version of iTunes?

Hi Robert and welcome to Apple Discussions,
There are adapters available that convert micro cards into fullsize ones.
You will also need a USB card reader if you do not have one.
Good luck,

I need help burning a cd from keynote

I need help burning a cd from keynote for a slideshow presentation on a tv

Hi,
Not quite sure what you're after here, so I might need a bit more info.
You have a presentation in Keynote and want to export this in some format that will allow you to display it on a TV screen. Is this right? Do you want to retain all your interactivity or do you just want to show it as a simple 'kiosk' presentation? What will the presentation on CD be played from and how will it connect to the TV?
Probably the easiest solution is to create a DVD of your presentation. To do this export the presentation from Keynote as a Quicktime Movie by going to File>Export and selecting the Quicktime pane. You'll need to make a few choices about how the slides are advanced and the final quality. Convert the exported movie to a DVD in iDVD or better still Toast, if you have it. You wont need menus or any fancy stuff, just set up the movie to play as soon as the disk is inserted.
To optimise the Movie, keep Keynote animations to a minimum and limit slide transitions to simple dissolves. The resulting Movie should be a fair representation of the original Keynote presentation.

I need help getting my facetime to connect

Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Some users have reported that Apple is aware of the issue. Sadly, we have to wait for Apple to provide some sort of update/fix. You can leave feedback for Apple at the link below.
