  • Can I save messages from both my new and old iphone

    I was unable to set up my new iphone 6 right away due to computer issues where my itunes and phone backup are stored. Now I have messages on both my new and old iphones that I don't want to lose, but I need to restore my new phone with the backup of the old. Is there any way to add the messages from the new iphone to the backup of the old?

    Not really - but at least you are thinking about it in advance which is good
    The restore from backup as you know is a snapshot in time of your phone
    So if you restore from the old - you lose the new messages after that point
    You may be able to use software like TouchCopy to get the messages off your phone - either old or new

  • Ipad won't update apps on new iMac but iPhone will when sync'd with usb

    Hello,
    I have the new imac and exported my itunes library from my old imac.  I updated my apps in itunes.  Then I sync'd my iphone 4s via the USB cable and it backed up and updated apps. Saw it processed steps 1 thru 7 (7 is update apps on iphone).   Disconnected ipad 3 to new imac via USB cable and it only performs steps 1 thru 6.  The apps will not update unless I click the "update" button on the itunes screen.  Anyone else encounter this and any solution?  Thanks! 

    Well I resolved it, by right clicking on the devices (for my ipad) and clicking "Sync". 

  • After Migration to new iMac, old Photoshop won't launch

    I used the Migration Assistant in Firewire Target Disk Mode to transfer my old Apps and files and folders from my intel Macbook to my new 24" iMac. I had to do it several times since it transferred Applications okay, and all the folders, but the folders were empty on the new machine. I finally had to drag and drop the contents of most folders. Everything seems to be working okay now except for one glaring failure. My old Photoshop 7.0.1, which was working just fine in Rosetta on the Macbook, no longer works at all. It will not even launch. I get an error message that due to an "unrecoverable error" in programming, Photoshop will close now, almost as soon as it tries to start. I have a number of other Power PC applications (even Adobe ones) of similar vintage that are working just fine. I tried reinstalling the Application entirely (still have all my old Apps!), but it had no effect on the failure to launch. I checked with Adobe and they declined to support such an old version. Any ideas on what could be causing this that I might check? Having blown all my money on the new iMac I really cannot afford to purchase a new Photoshop right now.

    Photoshop 7 is not compatible with Mac OS 10.5 and Adobe offers no fix. You'll need to upgrade.

  • New iMac, old "dead" XP laptop with backup of iTunes library on Iomega eGo

    Here is the scoop - We have a brand new iMac and would like to make it where we control iTunes. My wife's iPod has the bulk of our iTunes library on it but not all of it. We have an external Iomega eGo that has a fairly recent backup of our iTunes library from a recently defunct HP laptop which ran XP.
    Can I attach the eGo to the iMac and copy the iTunes library to the iMac? Will the iMac "see" the eGo or was/is the eGo formatted for XP?
    Or... is our only option to create a new library on the iMac using my wife's iPod as the source?
    Besides an iPod and an iPhone... the new iMac is our first Apple computer and so far we love it... just trying to figure out how to get iTunes running on it without losing alot of our music.
    And we already have Time Machine running to a G-Technology drive... so once we are running, we should be fairly well protected against future drive issues. : )

  • New iMac, Old iMac

    Hello everyone;
    I've just bought a new iMac and used the migration assistant to move all my settings etc. The problem is that I really wanted to start with a "clean" slate on the new machine while keeping my preferences, emails etc. My old iMac had my personal account as the admin, but I found out after the fact that it is better to keep the admin account clean and then create myself as a user. Is there a way to reformat(I think this is what I'm looking at) but keep all my settings, preferences, and files for email etc. I hope you understand what I'm trying to relay here. I just want a totally clean start.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance,
    Mick

    The simplest way to do this is to add a new admin user to your system, and change the status of the main user to no longer be admin using the new admin user as the controller.

  • Permanent loss of Internet connection on new iMac - old G3 works fine

    After 1 month new iMac won't connect to Internet. (Cable modem/ethernet) All usual procedures tried - powering off modem/unplugging connection etc/rebooting. Network connections show valid addresses etc and modem shows correct lights - even sending/receiving!
    Reconnecting old G3 works immediately! So can't be problem with ISP or cable modem.
    Any ideas please?

    Update for anyone reading the first post.
    Solved the problem by archive & install 10.5 and updated again to 10.5.1 and other updates EXCEPT Security Update 2007-009 1.1 which I installed yesterday and coincided with accessing the net problem!
    Question - now to install this Security Update?!

  • How do I fix a New Mac/Old iPhone WiFi conflict?

    New Mac and Old iPhone wifi conflicts.
    So just got the new mac. started it up, did all the auto-set up stuff, got my iPhone 4S connected and all my stuff iClouded onto the new mac, but all of a sudden, my partner's work iPhone is blocked from accessing the household wifi. The apps are there, one can click on them but then they are unopenable. His phone is an iPhone 4.
    I really don't want to delete my iCloud and to turn it off, I have to delete it off my new mac.

  • IPhone syncing, new computer old iphone.... major issues.

    I recently bough a new macbook pro, i have an old iphone 2g (dont ask me why i still have this ancient beauty, i just love it). However I havent updated my iphone in over a year and need to update it.
    Since this is a new computer and I do not have the other one, which I would usually use to connect to my iPhone, the new computer won't let me sync anything without deleting everything on it.
    How do I sync all my stuff (or at least all my contacts to my address book) so that i can restore and update the iphone 2g for to this new computer??? thx for the time.
    o and is there any good free 3rd party software that can assist in this if apple can't... and no i do not have a backup on my new mbp, so i can't just restore and use a backup.

    I already have some contacts in my address book. So I tried to look for the iPhone under >import however, nothing.... So do i just press sync on my iphone on itunes? Will it give me the option as soon as i press it or just delete everything.... dont want to press something and make a mistake that will cost me all my contacts.

  • New iMac, old programs, peripherals

    Posting here in GB to get your thoughts. Also posted under iMac.
    Got this message:
    +If you install and 3rd party software such as Band-in-a-Box, check the vendor site to make sure it is compatible with Snow Leopard 10.6. Also, if you want to connect peripherals such as printers/scanners/copiers/cameras/external drives. Check those vendor sites to make sure the software/hardware is compatible with 10.6+
    This is unwelcome news to me. I had thought that compatibility had to do with operating system. For example, Band-in-a-Box required 10.3.9 (Panther) as a minimum. Anything higher would be fine....I thought. Apparantly there also might be a problem with programs which work on a G4 PC might not work with an intel processor. And other hardware. So my HP printer/scanner/copier/fax might not work with Snow Leopard? Does this mean I would have to buy a new printer, and programs? Not good.
    2) +You can install Rosetta from the install disc that comes with your iMac in order to run those apps+
    I'll check out this Rosetta thing, but will that make those old programs compatible with my new iMac? Printer as well? Other things: like my Nikon camera? My preamp for home recordings? My Yamaha keyboard.
    Starting to get a bit worried here.
    Never thought that when I got the new iMac with Snow Leopard, I'd have to buy a whole bunch of other stuff.....some relatively expensive...to do what I have to do on the computer.

    The GarageBand aspect would involve Band-in-a-Box (which I use mostly for comping and that always goes to GB when it's to be part of my song), +my preamp for home recordings, my Yamaha keyboard+, and more, necessary for GB work. Sorry I didn't spell that out more carefully. Additionally, I might want to install GB2 and finish some tunes there instead of bringing them in the new GB.
    Further, since the primary use of a computer for me involves home recording...primarily through the use of GB... seemed to me other musicians might have had to deal with this and I value their opinions.

  • IWeb, new iMac, old MacBook, comments, sharing, etc

    Hi,
    I made a page on my new iMac and:
    1. I want people to be able to comment on my blog but do not know how to enable that or if it is possible
    2. I want to be able to work on it using my MacBook. I just tried and discovered that iWeb does not seem to be on there anymore. Maybe it is because I upgraded to Leopard and iLife was erased at that time. Is it possible to extract the iWeb from my reboot disk from my MacBook and then work on the page I built using my iMac by transferring it through my MobileMe network?
    Thanks for the help you offer,
    David

    David ~ The following is from iWeb's Help viewer...
    If you publish your site to MobileMe, you can let visitors post comments to your blog or podcast entries. These comments are visible to anyone who visits your website. You can also allow visitors to attach files (which other visitors can download) to their comments.
    To allow visitor comments on your blog or podcast:
    • Select a blog or podcast page in the sidebar.
    • If the Blog & Podcast Inspector isn’t open, click Inspector in the toolbar (or choose View > Show Inspector), and then click the Blog & Podcast Inspector button.
    • In the Blog pane of the inspector, select “Allow comments.”
    • To permit visitors to attach files (such as images) to their comments, select “Allow attachments.”

    You should have an iLife CD that came with your MacBook — reinstall iWeb from that.
    ...and then work on the page I built using my iMac by transferring it through my MobileMe network?

  • New Mac Old Iphone

    Ok here it is - I have a new mac and have set up home sharing. Have downloaded new apps for iphone on new comp but when I go to import them to my iphone it says that all other apps will be wiped when I do! I am sure that I have set everything up properly. Anyone any ideas? Thanks.

    You need to transfer your iTunes library from your PC to your Mac along with all other important data from your PC that you will need or want to access on your Mac such as photos, documents, etc., etc.
    If at iTunes preferences below the Advanced tab on your PC you have "copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library" selected, you can copy the iTunes named folder located in your Music folder, which is located in your Documents folder on a PC. With iTunes quit on your Mac, place the copy of the iTunes named folder from your PC in your Music folder on your Mac. You will also need to authorize your Mac with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
    If you purchased your Mac at an Apple store, the Apple store will help you transferring the data from your PC that you will need or want to access on your Mac.

  • A new IMac, old xp pc, Linksys and a new Hp All in one...now what?

    Someone please point me in the right direction. I need to share all the functions of the HP all in one, printing and scanning with my new mac and old xp PC. Sharing files will be nice as well. At this point all will be hardwired. I may add a PC notebook wirelessly in the future. The Imac and the pc are hardwired to the router ( Linksys WRT54G Version 2). At this point I can access the internet fine. The printer HP CM1312nfi MFP is still in the box.
    What do I do next. My router is out of warrantee and Linksys will not help. Apple care tells me to call Linksys and HP says the same.
    I need a simple step by step guide that I can understand. I have been searching the internet for days and I simply give up?
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance!

  • New Computer + old iPhone = no Apps?? jeeez louise....

    Hello ,
    So I gets my new mac book Pro, all shiney and whatever. My iPhone 4 was synced and backed up to the old mac book Pro see. So I gets my iphone back up files from the old book and put them in the new book Library>Application Support>Mobile Sync thinking i'm all this an that with being clever. I then reboot the phone so I can sync with the new book, music gone, but that's cool for school cause I gots that backed up.
    So the new book it makes it's own new back up, then asks me if I wanna sync with 'this' computer - with me?? Good. so all my pics, settings all good in the hood same as before. So then I goes the Apps back up folder, open with itunes they appear i start movin them around getting them all tidy and shippy shape. Press sync - no way hose!! You gotta authorize this machine to your itunes account - OK OK done, easy. Not so Joe - problem is itunes recognises the new book as authorised but eeach time i try and sync the apps - "you gotta authorize this computer the frickin itunes whatever blah" I'm goin around in frickin circles here! Can anyone help with this I mean jeez what the donald duck??
    Thanks,

    Unless you maintained a backup for your original computer that included your iTunes library and photos transferred from the computer to your iPhone, some of this data available on your iPhone may be lost.
    The sync process for iTunes content and for photos transferred to your iPhone is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone.
    Contact info, calendar events, and bookmarks is designed to be synced with the supported application on your computer. With Windows, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007 for contact info and calendar events, or with the address book used by Outlook Express with XP or the address book used by Windows Mail with Vista - the name change for OE for contact info.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for content that was purchased from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize the new or different computer with the same iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone are optimized for viewing on your iPhone via the iTunes sync process. Since the original resolution of these photos would be lost if it were possible to transfer such photos in the opposite direction, Apple doesn't include a method for doing so. I believe there is a 3rd party utility that provides for this, but the original resolution of these photos will be lost, and such a utility is not supported by Apple if it causes any problems.
