New iPhone Dead MBP
I bought a new iPhone last week and set it up on my MacBook Pro. I downloaded several applications from iTunes, synced my calendar and contacts from my old cell phone using Outlook. So everything works great with my iPhone, except my MacBook Pro died, (harddrive is dead)so I bought the new MacBook. Is there anyway I can set up my iPhone with my new MacBook? I really don't want to upload all the application and outlook info again.
If you don't have files backed up elsewhere, not much you can really do.
You can re-download the apps (iTunes will tell you that you already bought them and not charge you) but any data in them will have to be put back in.
Syncing with a new outlook will merge contacts so what is on phone will move back to computer. Same for calendar etc info.

first the old mac dies with all my lists files etc. taken to mac store, hard drive problems, suggests recycling....have new fast imac. Any way to retrieve old lists, contacts from old iphone to mac then to new iphone?
This is one of the reasons why creating and maintaining a backup of all your import data stored on your computer's hard drive stored on an external drive or some other external media is so important. The iPhone is not designed nor intended to be a backup storage device.
The sync process for contact info is a bi-directional or true sync process with the supported application on your computer, and the same for calendar events and Safari bookmarks.
Before syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal on your Mac, enter one unique contact in the Address Book and one unique calendar event in iCal on your Mac. This will provide a merge prompt when syncing this data with the Address Book and iCal, which you want to select.
Regarding your iTunes library, was the Apple store able to recover any data from your old Mac's hard drive such as your iTunes library or any other important data? -
Emergency: How to best get the contents of a dead MBP onto a new iMAC?
Hi all, my emergency is all over the boards today : http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7661172#7661172
but thanks to a home delivery from the Nepali Apple store I may be back in business tonight with your help.
I have a TM backup of the dead mbp on a drive and a CCC clone on another. So the way I see it I have two options and I am wondering which one is best...to
1) during the install of the new imac, choose "from TM backup drive" or whatever that option is, or
2) Use the CCC clone to just clone over the imac system.
I understand, from expierence, that many software packages like Adobe need reactivation, but no problems there, I have all my original DVDs and serials.
The problems I remember from last time is preserving user settings and even the login account. I want everything to be the same (but they want ice water in **** too I suppose).
The emergency is that my biggest client is waiting on the FCP job which is now sitting on the dead mbp and the two backup drives. I am praying that the low -end 20" imac will run FCP/Motion and plugs. If it does I may pull this off by just telling the client I had to go away for the weekend:) thx...Booting from the clone should get you "up and running" temporarily, though for the sake of preserving data I'd recommend other options first. Id start by trying the TM restore. If it fails you can always reinstall the OS "as it came" out of the box, and then try cloning the cloned backup back to the iMac. As a final resort, booting off the cloned disk would be the next option, but this will inevitably write files and such to the disk, which will alter it slightly (and most likely be perfectly fine, but there's always a chance for something to go wrong).
The iMac should run your programs fine, at about the same speed as the MBP. -
I have a new iphone 6 (64 Gb) that i have had for roughly 2 weeks. Last night i plugged in my charger that came in the box with the phone and plugged it into an outlet that is not used for anything else. My phone suddenly stopped charging and gave me the message that the accessory is not supported. The box of the charger seemed hot at the time. Thinking it was a faulty cord, i borrowed a friends charger today (also the original apple charger) and it would not charge and gave me the same message. I tried three more chargers and still no charge and i got the same message every single time. My phone is now dead and will not turn on. Can someone explain what is wrong? And if i am going to need a new phone and if warranty should cover it since it was not user caused damage
warranty will cover it. Did you try only by changing the power adapter or did you change both cable and power adapter?
if you did the latter, see this page: https://www.apple.com/support/iphone/repair/battery-power/
you'll be able to contact Apple Support from there. -

I have a new iphone 5c and after two days of use, now it is dead, the battery was complete, i´ve tried everything what is on the web, and nothing, the only thing it does is connect to itunes, but then it says...waiting for the iphone.
Did you try plugging the device in to charge? If you purchased this device in New York, you will have to return the device to the US for warranty service. You cannot ship it to the US either, unless you ship it to a family member. Apple will not accept international shipments. The warranty for that phone is only good in the US, the iPhone does not have an international warranty.
You can try the steps in this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281 however, if that does not work, you will have to either send the phone to a family member to take to Apple, or you will have to bring it to the US yourself. -
Brand new iPhone 5s dead, black won't come on after ios update...is fully charged, was working fine till said yes to upgrade. Did not watch process beyond seeing Apple logo appear, left it alone, came back, dead. Tried holding top button, tried home button, nothing...HELP!!!
If iTunes does not recognize your iPhone even if it’s plugged in, you may need to put it into DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode. If you have to put the device in DFU mode, you will most likely be unable to back it up.
Hold Power button for 3 seconds and then the Power and Home together for 10 seconds (exactly).
Release Power but keep holding home until the your iPhone shows up in iTunes. -
New iPhone radio "dead" in 3 days.
Well, after standing in line for 14 hours to get my new iPhone last Thursday, it appears the radio failed last night (Sunday)! The service bar shows "No Service Available" (wherever I am). Other iPhones in same location have 4 bars. Dial my phone from a landline and get my voicemail (so I'm assuming my AT&T service has not been cut off).
I guess it's back to the local Apple store.
Not a good start...."Try holding it in your right hand instead of your left".
Slight pun out of the way; contact AT&T. In the UK; when I transferred my Sim to a MicroSim and O2 Terminated my old sim; the phone appeared to lose its signal. -

New iphone won't do anything! can't sync, turn on, etc
I posted a similiar reply regarding this in the other thread, but I don't think it is related necessarily to the new upgrade, so I hope someone can help me here. Sorry about the double post, I'd delete the other if I knew how!
I just got a new iphone today and of course it's battery was pretty low. So I shut it off until I got home. I downloaded itunes and registered and got that running, then I plugged in the iphone and it opened up fine in itunes. It asked me to register, etc and that was all fine. Then it told me there was an update for it and did I want to update? I said yes, though the guy who set it up for me in the store said he already had done so with the new update, so I was a bit confused why it wanted me to do it again...but what do I know? I've never had an iphone before. So it downloaded something and then said it updated. Right after this it gave me a pop up window (on win xp) saying the iphone could not be updated, error. So I shut it off, unplugged it, closed itunes, restarted everything and tried again. Nothing. It just kept coming up with a picture of its usb cord and an arrow pointing to the itunes logo. (it would be nice if it used words sometimes, not just pictures...like really!?) Now that's all it does. I restarted everything again and reset the iphone by holding down the home and off switch as instructed by a friend. After doing this, itunes recognized it and told me it had to be restored, so I did this. Then the same little window popped up saying the iphone had and unknown error "2002" and could not be restored. And all it continues to do is show the usb picture, arrow and itunes icon. I don't know what to do!
It doesn't appear to be charging either, but I'm not sure what it looks like when it's charging even. I'm really at a loss. I thought maybe it was because its battery is really dead, but I'm not convinced just leaving it plugged in will help because it really doesn't look like it's charging. I really hope someone can help me! I haven't even had a chance to look at the thing yet and I already am starting to hate it! Argh!
Thank you for any help!
MSWelcome to the discussions,
Try to connect the phone to the adapter to charge it. If it is charging, you'll see a little lighting bolt in the battery icon in the upper right corner. Let it charge for about 30min. and then connect it again to your computer to restore it. If it is not recognized by itunes, put it in recover mode, see this article how to do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 -
Can't sync new iPhone 4 with iTunes without it locking up iTunes
Got my new iPhone 4 last Friday. They tell me I need to register it and sync it. Didn't get around to trying that until yesterday. Tried most of the day and night last night, using iTunes 9.whatever it was. Kept on locking up iTunes. Tried deleting iTunes, reinstalling it and trying again. Didn't work. Even trying to register the phone made iTunes lock up.
Downloaded iTunes 10 last night. Have the same situation, BUT, it finally did allow me to finally register my phone this afternoon. Thought the problem was solved. Still won't allow me to sync.
Sync starts up (took it off the auto-sync setting) and it says it is going to backup the device - Step 1. Sometimes the progress bar moves 1/4 inch, sometimes 1/2 inch. Sometimes it just has the moving pattern on it. Once or twice, it actually got to Step 2, whatever that is. It always locks up. I've left it running for hours... still won't work.
Was told to delete iTunes, restart, delete trash and reinstall it. Tried that SEVERAL times, still didn't work. Was told to delete some other files (the IT guy was standing beside me because I have NO clue as to what to do with these files) - at least 1 file from the Library and not certain where the others were. That didn't work either. It just keeps on locking up iTunes and quite often, when I check with Force Quit, it shows that iTunes isn't responding. I repaired disk permissions. Didn't work. I unchecked what to sync - just trying to sync Apps now, and it still doesn't work.
All software is up-to-date on both the phone as well as my MBP. I'm at a loss. Anyone have any ideas?
Just tried it again and just plugging in the iPhone caused the beach ball to start spinning. I've GOT to be doing something wrong, but I'm at a loss.
Thanks in advance for your help.After purchasing a new iPhone 5S I had a problem syncing iTunes with the iPhone...At the Apple Store, the Service Rep backed up my iPhone to iCloud in order to transfer all data from the old phone to the new phone. At home when I tried to sync iTunes with my new iPhone 5S, iTunes would not recognize my new phone. I discovered iTunes was configured to back up data to my Mac hard drive and the iPhone was configured to back up data to iCloud. There was a conflict, subsequently causing iTunes to not recognize my new iPhone 5S. My solution was to delete iCloud from the iPhone. After doing this, iTunes synced with the iPhone with no problems. No data was lost and syncing occurred normally.
I recommend these as possible solutions:
1) The Apple store will back up your phone using iCloud. Make sure that iTunes is configured to back up to iCloud before you plug your new phone into iTunes for syncing/back-up. If your iTunes is configured to back up data to your hard drive, ensure that the Apple Store does not back up your phone data to iCloud. You will have to back up all iPhone data yourself at home on iTunes.
2) If they insist on backing up your phone data to iCloud from your old phone to your new phone then, be sure to delete the iCloud account off your new phone before you try to sync your new phone to iTunes.
I used the 2nd solution to solve my syncing issues. Everything works great now. iTunes recognized my new phone and can now sync/back-up data with out problems, error messages or loss of data.
Hope this helps everyone out! I intend to get drunk to relieve all the stress and hopefully restore my sanity as a result of having to solve this problem while having to act as my own Apple support staff! -
Not in love w/ the new iPhone 3G & thinking of returning it. Anyone else?
Here is my narrative of the iPhone 3G 16gb White… This is focuses on the negative aspects of the phone I have experienced in 24 hours of owning it… I am debating to Return it. Wonder if anyone else has had similar issues or thoughts…
Disclaimer:
I have had a lot of phones w/ different carriers - the majority being PDA style phones. For the most part the 1st generation iPhone has been fantastic. Realistically every phone is going to have its issues/quarks and not be perfect. But Apple did a good job w/ the iPhone 1st generation (at least in my opinion) and so I am more than eager to see their “improved” version and reward them w/ my continued loyalty.
Background:
With that said… I walked into an AT&T store and willingly renewed my contract for another 2-yrs. Coming from Verizon after many years – this is quite a sacrifice (AT&T is horrible). When buying the phone from AT&T store I had to go through strict scrutiny to make the purchase (i.e. I had to prove I was the primary account holder, have a credit card, have a driver’s license with picture, and confirm my SS#). In addition, since it was backordered I had to pay in advance w/ knowledge if I were to decide now to return it (even before receiving it) that I would be subject to a 10% restocking fee. So fast forward 7 days of waiting and I finally got the call to pick up the phone…
*Negative Issues:*
1)While walking in the sun w/ the phone “off” (standby mode)… the sun really exposed the screen LCD traits… I am not sure how to explain this… but you can see the outline of the LCD which is dark, a lighter colored perimeter about .5mm thick around the screen that was lighter colored and inactive when on, and even can clearly see the 3 sensors on the top of the black border near the ear speaker… I don’t recall the 1st iPhone looking like this at all. It looks cheap as a result.
2)Going with what I said before, now I can’t get my eyes off the .5mm thick dead border of screen that is obvious around the iPhone… its distracting and not sure why Apple left it around the screen and did not hide it or put it under the real black border of the phone.
3)Going with the above again, this iPhone is slightly wider than the previous iPhone and has a bigger black border. In essence it makes the screen look smaller when compared to the previous iPhone – although I doubt it is the actual case but rather just an optical illusion.
4)They say the plastic backing made for better grip, feel, and supposed better reception. I however don’t necessarily like the feel, its slightly wider size, and the rounded edges make its feel odd/awkward. However, perhaps I am just too use to the older iPhone and it will take some time.
5)After fully charging the iPhone, I went to a friend’s house (45mins away)… went to eat (90mins)… then to see a movie – Batman (maybe 180mins)… at this point I still had never made an actual call from the iPhone yet and sent (4) texts and did some limited playing around on the web/email and etc… (Remember I had the iPhone 1st generation so I know enough to turn Bluetooth off, WiFi off, even Push off, kept fetch on every 15mins)… so anyway… the iPhone had been on standby majority of time (I even made sure to return to home screen to stop anything from running in background) and the phone was at about 30% battery life. I checked my email for 1 minute and the I got the warning that 20% battery was remaining!
6)Upon careful look at the iPhone I noticed that I had a dead pixel on the upper right of the phone - must have been there but just noticed it now (below the battery icon and to the right of the top icon).This is not unusual I guess in manufacturing and I have complete faith Apple will swap it out for a new iPhone… no big deal… just inconvenient.
7)While home I charged the iPhone again for several hours to full charge. Still have never made a phone call on it. For about 40mins I played around w/ the menus and features… played with a few applications feature (i.e. facebook, AIM, myspace)… went on the web… looked at the GPS map feature… went back to home screen then put the phone in Standby mode… Watched TV for a few hours… looked back at phone to see the batter was 50% dead? Played with phone for 10 mins with music/photo/etc features – put it back to standby mode and watched more TV for 1 hr than looked at the phone to see it at 30% battery level. I fell asleep for a few hours and woke up to see the iPhone had died.
8)One thing I must point out… that throughout my narration/events above… whenever the phone was in standby mode I noticed it was warm to touch. It was not too hot to burn and be unable to use… but noticeably warm as if it were overheating? I thought standby was supposed turn the iPhone basically off (at least a very low power consumption level).
9)Another thing I noticed – perhaps it’s just me… but the screen seems to smudge a lot more – if not easier. The other screen was not perfect but the smudging was manageable. This leads me to believe that there is something different with this screen. Perhaps a different material or so… just something doesn’t seem the same.
10)I have had to fully charge the phone 3 times in 24hours and still have yet to make a single phone call. It would seem that just simply roaming on the 3G network is killing the battery life. Many 3rd party applications also drain the battery. For whatever reason something is running in the background that Apple has designed (maybe just the nature of 3G) that keeps it running even in standby.
*Apple Customer Service told me the following:*
1)If I return the phone for any reason (even if it is defective and etc) I will have to bay 10% restocking fee.
2)The iPhone running on 3G severely limits the phones use… they state it runs 50% less than the 1st generation of iPhone… so 5hrs talk time at most and that they recommend to people to turn off 3G and keep it in Edge. Even in Edge mode –they say the 1st generation iPhone lasts longer.
3)They tell me the weather is another feature that affects the phone – if it’s a hot day than it will be less battery life???
4)They say there has been many reports of iPhone running hot – but it’s a result of the 3G and normal…
5)They say a huge majority of the iPhones 3G have dead pixels and hardware issues...
6)I can swap out the iPhone for a new one under warranty (especially for the dead pixel)… but this will probably make it impossible for me to return to AT&T since the serial numbers would be different… so I would have to live w/ the iPhone 3G at that point...
Summary:
I am starting to think the iPhone 1st generation wasn't that bad after all. Perhaps I should just wait till much later or possible software improvements before taking advantage of an upgrade... I can always repurchase it later. Overall I am very disappointed by this whole experience due to my high expectations.I agree... I am trying not to whine... but be helpful to others if they experience the same while get input before I make the decision to return (which I am leaning towards)… It’s still a great phone – but I expected something different. I also have been coming the internet and forums to see what other people think as well to make sure I am not being oversensitive about it. $300 for a 16gb is not buyers remorse kicking in… it’s just I am not sure if I see much of a difference from my perfectly good (8month old) iPhone 1st generation…
But yes… if all iPhone 3G were problematic it would be in the news… so I err on the side that I may be a unique situation or simply did not make a well informed decision when going to 3G.
Still… the idea of turning 3G off to get a full day of use out of an iPhone… even moderate use that most of us would expect w/o charging midway or multiple times is a bit much to swallow.
I don’t want to bash and just looking for peoples reaction. I still really like Apple and the iPhone in general. -
I just got the iPhone 5, but I am still using a PowerBook G4 machine that will not sync with my new iPhone. I was wondering if I could
1) create a new user for myself on my brother's MBP
2) connect that MBP with my PowerBook via ethernet
3) have iTunes and iPhoto on my new MBP user to be mapped to my PowerBook iTunes and iPhoto Library folders respectively
4) sync the iPhone with my new user on my brother's MBP and acquire all of the content from the iTunes and iPhoto libraries that reside on my PowerBook
Will this work? Does anyone recommend a different solution to get the content from my PowerBook G4 1.33 to my new iPhone 5Now I have made a search and you are right. A problem which seemed unique to me is, in fact, very common. It is unbelievable that on one hand the Apple programmers can create great software, but on the other hand they act like retards when they forget about some basic functionality. I really can't believe that I will lose my purchases simply because at Apple nobody thought that people do install a fresh system from time to time. What a shame.
But what about consolidation of accounts? I am being asked to provide account ID which I don't even remember anymore. It seemed natural for me that I download some applications and simply go on with life, just as in about any other website on the internet. But suddenly Apple says that I will not be able to save or transfer my application because I need some funky ID. Hello Apple... My application is already on my phone so I should be able to copy it where I want without some ID. That's really odd.
Anyway, I will try to search the forum and solve my problems. I simply didn't even think in my wildest dreams that Apple software could be sometimes so ********. -

Where can I find a car charger for my new iPhone 5?
I use a power inverter which works great. You can get one that plugs into your car charger for about $30-$50 on Amazon. You just plug it into your car charger and plug the MBP power pack into that.
