Need help syncing iPhone from pc to macbook air

I just switched from pc to MacBook Air. I want to sync my iPhone, but since it was previously synced to pc, its saying 'erase and re sync' or cancel. If I 'erase and resync', will I lose all music/photos on iPhone?

Thank you very much. I ended up just backing my phone up to the pc, then chosing 'erase and resync' option on the mac.. Everything transferred except for some of my music. I was able to log into itunes on the macbook and download all my purchased music into the mac itunes library, then synced my phone again and every song was back!

What do I need to transfer data from my old MacBook Air to a new MacBook Air

what do I need to transfer files and programs from my old MacBook Air using OSX Lion 10.7.5 to a new MacBook Air?

An external USB drive on which you can install a clone of your old computer's drive. You csn then connect it to your new computer and use Migration Assistant to migrate your data to the new computer. Or you can manually select which of your files you want and copy them to the new computer.

Need help syncing contacts FROM iPhone to Address book

I'm trying to help my dad out here. He's got about 300 contacts on his iPhone that he wants to transfer onto his computer so he can have a saved/printed copy of them. I've tried to set the contacts to sync in iTunes, but it only resulted in wiping all the contacts off of the phone, which causes me to waste an hour restoring the iPhone from backup so he doesn't kill me -_____- I don't care about copying contacts from Address book to his phone, just from his phone to Address book. How do I do this?

I have a similar problem which should be easily fixed with the steps described but those are not working. I just got a iPhone 4GS and im trying to take the contacts off of my 3GS and onto my adress book so I can sync the 4GS with adress book and get all my contacts. I created the "dummy contact" on adress book and have tried to sync my phone a couple of times but it doesnt work. it just syncs the dummy contact onto my 3gs but doesnt transfer the contacts from my 3gs onto the adress book on the computer. it also doesnt give me the option to "merge". the kicker to this is that at the bottom of the "sync contacts with adress book tab" on itunes it tells me that my contacts are "being synced with mobileme over the air" when mobileme DOESNT EVEN EXIST ANYMORE.... help please! thank you

Help needed to sync apps across iMac and Macbook Air via ICloud

I have a new Mac and I want to sync (if possible) my applications such as pic collage etc between my iMac & my Macbook Air.
The main reason I want to do this is because I have set up templates in my macbook air apps and I want to use my iMac through the day and macbook air at night and be able to access these without doing screen share.
I am also looking to pay someone $150 to set up a few things for me. I am in Coorparoo if anyone is interested please contact me here or at
Thankyou

Tracey almost any program you've purchased from the Apple App Store can be downloaded to multiple computers legally. Programs you've purchased elsewhere are typically licensed either to the user or to the computer and to be completely legal you'd need to determine which is the case for the programs you want to install on more than one computer. Most documents can be saved to iCloud (assuming you have enough space on iCloud) or other cloud services. Cloud services such as DropBox and Microsoft's OneDrive have applications that sync files automatically which allows you to share files between computers. However many (most?) applications don't automatically move templates into the cloud since they tend to be saved in the user's Library folder which often isn't synced. So templates must be dealt with on a case by case basis. (I'll often save a document that I want to use as a template and then make a fresh copy of it when I want to use it as my template)

How do I transfer and download music onto my Iphone from my new Macbook Air?

I just recently got a macbook air. I tried to transfer music that was on my phone to my new Itunes library and redownload all of the new music I recently downloaded to my computer. It starts to process the request, gets to stage 2, finishes stage 2 out of 6, n then the processing stops on the computer and "disconnects" my Iphone from my computer, but still processes on my phone. I left my phone plugged in for 4 hours to see if maybe it would finish processing but it didn't. That is when I finally gave up and shut down my computer and unplugged my Iphone. I tried it for the second time, and continued to do the same thing. Please help me!!!

Hi applenewbie11,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Congratulations on the purchase of your Macbook Air!
You can only transfer music you purchased on your iPhone 4S to your new computer.
The article has more details and screen shots, but the basic information is quoted below.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
If you want to transfer iTunes Store purchases from an iOS device or iPod to a computer, be sure to authorize the computer before connecting the device. After connecting your device to the computer and its icon appears in iTunes, go to the File menu, then Devices, and choose Transfer Purchases from "(Your device name)".
Or, you can Show Sidebar from the View menu, and then right-click (Windows or Mac) or Control-click (Mac only) your device in the iTunes Source list, then choose Transfer Purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
Please note that this feature works only for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library. Please see this article for more details.
Your best bet is to copy your Music folder from your previous Mac or PC to your new computer and then sync it with your iPhone.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Need help syncing Tones from mac to iphone!!

Need Help Transfering Video From HV20 to Macbook Pro

I've lloked everywhere and I can't find the process to transfer my video from my HV20 to my Macbook Pro.
Can some one please point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.

Do you have the necessary firewire cable? USB will not capture your video to your Mac. With that, it's a simple matter of hooking the cam up to the Mac, with cam off, Mac on. Open iMovie and have your cam set on playback. Then turn on the cam and your Mac should present you with the import button.

Help syncing iphone to new MacBook Pro

I got a MacBook Pro for Christmas, and I need help syncing my iPhone to it without losing my pictures, contacts, and music. I already wirelessly shared my iTunes library to from my old mac to the new one. Is there a way to sync my phone to the new computer and transfer my pictures and contacts and the rest of the stuff on my phone to it without losing it all? Or since I wirelessly shared my iTunes library, will my back up still be available?

There is no phone number for itunes store support.
Just copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to the new one.
You can also transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases

Need to sync apps from my friends iphone to my ipad using itunes. How can be that done?Please advise.

Well first you need to sync your iPhone 4 with your Mac/PC so that it will transfer all your music, apps, podcasts, etc. Then sync your iPod Touch and the media you selected during the sync should be there on your iPhone. If you have difficulty in transferring media from iPhone to your computer, try softwares like TransCopy. They will help in transferring data from your iphone to your computer. Dont forget to check that all the transferred data is in the iTunes media folder so that the iTunes can locate the files. Link to Transcopy software :

I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I followed the steps given and ended up with just email addresses showing in my contacts even though I have phone numbers and snail mail in my Outlook Contacts. Using Windows 7

I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I used the knowldge document and set it up to transfer my Outlook contacts to the iphone using itunes.
In contacts on the iphone I only see the email addresses.
Yet in Outlook I have email, snail mail and phone numbers.
I followed the knowledge document from iphone.
I did it once, didn't work so deleted all the contacts from the phone and tried again. Same result. I have a PC using Windows 7 64 bit.

You can't access an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac.
You can access a MM account with Outlook on your PC at work and keep your MM email account server stored mailboxes synced between your PC at work, your iPhone, and the MM "cloud". Not sure about syncing MM contact info and calendar events with Outlook at the same time with an Exchange account.
This will not provide for syncing your Exchange account contact info and calendar events with the Addresss Book and iCal on your Mac because the accounts are separate.
You can access an Exchange account and a MM account at the same time with the iPhone's mail client, and sync contact info and calendar events over the air with both accounts at the same time. You can view combined contact info or separately for each account, and the same for calendar events.

I need help syncing my computer outlook email (through Yahoo) with my iphone. When I delete an email on my computer it is still in my inbox on my phone. Please help.

Your computer is probably set up to access your Yahoo mail using POP3. POP3 does not synchronize with the server. For full synchronization, you will need to use IMAP instead. See the Yahoo mail help pages for instructions on how to configure your mail client.

You will need to upgrade your MacBook OS to at least 10.5.8 or preferably Snow Leopard 10.6.X
