New mac not syncing with my iphone

here's the deal....
i have an iphone 3g and i just got a new macbook bc my previous one died..i dont have access to any information on it....
im trying to sync my iphone with my new computer...my main concern is my contacts and my music....ive synced my contacts with no problem but syncing the music is giving me problems....
i connect my iphone and press the "sync" button on itunes but nothing happens....is there a way to merge my music from my iphone onto my new macbook???

You need a USB to USB computer transfer cable from the computer store, and Mac has a program by spotlighting "Transfer".
edit: As you said your old computer died, the computer store can attempt to recover the old files or if your an IT, you can do it.

Why are my key photos of my events in iphoto on the mac not syncing with my iphone and ipad?

anyone?

Since iPhoto can handle 1,000,000 photos probably not
a wild guess is event sort - view menu ==> sort event
If you give us some details we can help - what version of iPhoto and of the OS? How much free space do you have on your hard drive?
what exactly are you seeing happen? any error messages? any recent changes?

You need to restore the pre-upgrade backup of the library file in the manner shown in Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

Mac not syncing with iPhone/iPad

Can someone help me? My Mac is acting up. Over the past 3 days, I have not been able to get my Mac to sync with my iphone or ipad like I have in the past. When I open up my calendar on Mac, it says it cant be refreshed and won't let me do a thing until I force it to quit. I input things on my reminders and notes on my Mac but it won't show up on my other 2 devices. But if I put stuff on my iphone/ipad it will show up on my Mac!? I've tried updating, shutting down, connecting with a USB. I don't know what else to do. I really don't want to have to delete all my stuff because its a lot! Help please!

Since installing mavericks, my computer calendar does not sync with my iPhone and iPad calendars. My iPhone and iPad are synced however. What can I do to make all of my mac devices sync

You don't sync the MM calendar anymore, you subscribe to it in iCal,
iCal>Preferences>Accounts, enter the details here.
MM should be the default calendar on all clients.

My ical is not syncing with my iPhone 4s.

My ical is not syncing with my iPhone 4s. I had mobileme and upgraded to iCloud. I also have Mac Lion and feel like I have all the upgrades required, but any time I enter a new event in my iCal, it never transfers to my iPhone. Note: when I enter an event in my phone, it DOES transfer properly to my iCal on my Mac.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Why is my iCal not syncing with my iPhone and iPad?

After upgrading to iOS5 and all the iCloud things, my iCal is not syncing with my iPhone or my iPad. I've tried all the setting, but cannot figure out what I'm doing or not doing that it won't sync. I checked the Cloud and the calendar is there. Can anyone help?

I had this problem, too. To reiterate, events on the iPad and iCloud were loading down into iCal on my Macbook Pro, but events I put on my MacBook Pro were not migrating back.
It comes down to which calendar the event is listed under. In iCal (right now) your default calendars are all local. If you change the event to an iCloud calendar, the migration is seamless. So, when you create an event, just scroll down in calendars, pick the iCloud equivalent to the "On my Mac" calendars (they're mirrored/duplicated) and it all works just fine.
I hope that helps.

My icloud account does not sync with my iphone 4s. My contacts do not show up on icloud and I do have "contacts" turned on to backup

My icloud account does not sync with my iphone 4S. My contacts do not turn up on icloud and I do have "contacts" turned on in my phone.

Unchecking them won't help, it will only hide them from view. The issue you're running into is that iCloud doesn't sync contacts from non-iCloud accounts like your exchange and Yahoo accounts. In order to sync these with iCloud, you would need to copy them to the iCloud account and then disable contact syncing with these other accounts. (If you didn't disable contacts syncing with these accounts, you would see duplicates of these contacts on your phone -- one from the external account, and one from iCloud.) If you want to do this, do the following:
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup. (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer from your other accounts you will need the “Pro” version.) Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from the other accounts) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email before proceeding to step 3.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), and confirm that this is set to iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap your Yahoo and your exchange account and turn off contacts syncing with these accounts. This will remove the contacts from these accounts from your phone.
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from these accounts back to your phone, and to iCloud. All your contacts should now be in iCloud and be visible on icloud.com.

Why does my IPad not sync with my IPhone for Ibooks bookmarks?

Why does my IPad not sync with my IPhone for IBooks bookmarks? Both Pad and Phone have sync turned on.

I must apologize as I misread your post. I though that you were talking about Safari bookmarks but you post does clearly state iBooks bookmarks.
You may want to just try restarting both devices and see if that helps. One other thing that you could try is quit iBooks on both devices and then launch it again and see if the bookmarks are synced when you relaunch.

I made a playlist in iTunes, but it will not sync with my iPhone, why?

I made a playlist in iTunes, but it will not sync with my iPhone when I connect it to iTunes and select sync, why? On the music tab, I have selected, import all songs.

Okay, but being "checked and highlighted" does not cause media to sync.
Do you manually manage the content on the device or use the sync feature as designed?
If manually managing the content, can you "drag and drop" the media onto the device?
If syncing, go to the Movies (or video) tab and select the video there, then sync.
Does it work now?

You are correct. Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases. You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.

The calendar on the imac is not syncing with the iphone?

The calendar on my macpro, operating system OS X 10.6.8, does not sync with the iphone? When I look up on the info tab in itunes, the calendar is checked to sync

Completely by serendipity I just fixed this!
I was perplexed as to why all my events showed in iCal on my computer, but only some events would show in iCal on my iphone.
All day events were not showing, appointments weren't showing and neither was work, but social events were, no matter how many times i tried to sync my iphone with my MacBook Pro. Hmmm strange.
So I only just figured it out accidentally when on iCal on my iphone that if i click the 'calendars' tab in the top left hand corner, it takes me to a list of all my created calendars (and their colours) that I have in iCal.
If you tap on a certain calendar it will display only those events. Eg. I tapped on my calendar 'appointments >', and iCal only displayed all of my appointment times on my iphone and not the other events.
If I tap on 'work >', it displays all work events. Etc.
Is this making sense??
NOW:
If you go back to the 'calendars' tab on iCal on the iphone and tap on 'All >'...
then
Hooray!!! All your events will be displayed.
Hopefully! :P
Hope this helps!!

Mac email not syncing with iPad / iPhone

I am having a problem with Mail on my Mac not syncing up properly, and the problem is with the iPad and iPhone. The mail account is an IMAP account on Godaddy; the problem goes back before Yosemite, but it has taken me quite a while to find out what the problem is, so I'm hoping for a solution.
The problem: I get a new email on my Godaddy account. It appears almost instantly on my iPad and iPhone, but it does not appear on my Mac. But, this doesn't happen all of the time, sometimes I do get the message on my Mac as well. I have worked with Godaddy support, and they had me delete the account from my Mac an recreate it, seemed to work but a couple hours later it broke again.
Diagnosis of problem: Okay, so I started trying to diagnose the problem on my own to see if I can find a repeatable scenario, and I did. Here is what I did and, ultimately, what the cause is:
I logged into GoDaddy's webmail application so I could monitor when email came in, then check to see if it was being picked up on the Mac. Whenever I found one on webmail that did not appear on the Mac I checked my iPad and iPhone, that is when I found out that the mail was appearing on those devices all of the time, without fail.
When a failure occurred I quit Mail on the Mac and restarted it, it alway found the missing mail, even if I had read it on the iPhone and iPad.
With this in hand what I tried was shutting down the WiFi connection on both the iPad and iPhone whenever I was home. What I found was that when the WiFi connection was turned off I never missed a single email on the Mac.
So, next step was to turn the WiFi connection back on for both devices and monitor emails. This is what I found:
If the email was read first on the mobile devices then it never made it to the Mac.
If the email appeared first on the Mac, then it also appeared on both mobile devices.
So, the problem is that if the mobile devices get hold of the email before the Mac gets at it, the Mac never sees the emails unless I quit Mail and restart it. But, if the Mac gets hold of the mail first, it appears on both mobile devices as well
Any Ideas / suggestions? Other than turning off WiFi on the mobile devices every day when I get home .

No, but you can go to your email provider's site and set up forwarding for your current email address to your new one. That would allow not to miss any email while your friends are changing their contact information for you to your new address. I did that with my old ISP POP account when I switched to iCloud email. Just set up forwarding and inform everyone of your new address.
