New MacBook and iPhone 3g
I just purchased my macbook 2 days ago and i am lovin it...but i got an issue. When i am on chat and have the webcam goin, if i plug i my iphone to my macbook, the webcam cuts off. Is there a setting on the mac for this? This is my first ever mac and im still learning it so any info would be greatly appreciated!!!
You can use the migration assistant. It's located in your Applications folder. It will transfer over your music, documents, applications, even accounts by plugging your old Mac to your new one. It will guide you through all the steps.
Or you can use an external HD with Time Machine which will make a backup of your old Mac, then plug it into your new Mac and use Migration Assistant to choose what you want to copy over. Or start up using the OS X install disk that came with the Mac and go to the Utilities menu and select Restore from Time Machine.
When it's all done you just authorize the iTunes account (Open iTunes, Click on Store in the menu bar and sign in using your iTunes Apple ID). Your phone will more than likely ask to restore when you plug it in. That's fine because as long as you transferred all of your contacts (in address book), calendars (in iCal), music (in iTunes), etc. over to your new mac, it will all sync right back to it. Just be sure to Sync and backup your phone to your old mac before you start- just incase.
Cheers!

according to the tech specs' required to use iClode it seems that Apple is ignoring it's promisses to their valued costumers since 2001..I have to go to an Apple store and buy a new MacBook and iPhone..mm yeah right we are all swimming in cash. On June Apple had promissed it's old valued costumers that they can continue to access their Mac mail accounts via a browser. But hey ! why keep promisses. Now you need to purchase all the latest gadgets to use y'r Mac mail-iCloud. MOVING TO GMAIL !
If you had a MobileMe account, and provided you migrated it to iCloud before 1 August, you can access your email at http://icloud.com on any modern browser. 10.7.2 minimum and iOS5 or 6 are required for the devices to use iCloud syncing and other facilities.
If you have Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard you can set Mail up manually to access the email on an existing iCloud account:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Tiger -
New MacBook and iPhone 3G sync
I have recently purchased a new MacBook and would like to sync up my iPhone 3G to it.
Will I lose all data on the iPhone?
How should I go about "marrying" my iPhone to the new MacBook?
Just don't want to lose my iCal data and addresses etc...
Thanks a million.You can use the migration assistant. It's located in your Applications folder. It will transfer over your music, documents, applications, even accounts by plugging your old Mac to your new one. It will guide you through all the steps.

Putting My iTunes on my new laptop and iPhone
I recently got a new MacBook and iPhone. I have an iTunes account on my Mac home computer and an iTouch with all my songs on it. Is there way to put my my iTunes account on my MacBook and then on my iPhone? So the end result would be: Mac home computer, iTouch, iPhone and MacBook all be the same.
I will tell you what I did (attempted), the result- but ran into some "!" problems that I am still trying to find the solution to.
Run a Fire wire between the Laptop & Desktop. Start up your Laptop while holding down the "T" key. This will create your Laptop's Hard drive to pop up on your Desktop as an additional external drive. Then, simply copy over your entire iTunes Folder (music, library files and all) as a mirror image of what you have on your Desktop. Be sure to put it in the same place, with the same Preferences for both iTunes. It worked seamlessly for me for a while.
My (still) problem is that after writing over the Laptop files several times to update, most of my links became broke displaying a "!" - I know not why, resulting in me having to manually re-link each Tune- a long and laborious process. Nobody in these Forums has come up with an adequate reason or solution.
Someone suggested a "Doug App" that re-links all the Tunes in one fell swoop- but Mr. Doug is not responding to emails- so the App is a "dud-by Doug dude" as far as I am concerned.
This will get you half way there. But if you are a professional utilizing a large # of Tunes- beware. -
I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome
1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it. -
Bought a new macbook and want to manually manage music onto my iphone 4s (as it is already full of music from old windows laptop) but when i click 'manually manage' and then 'apply' i get the message saying it will erase everything already on there. Need help please!
Before you sync your iPhone make sure that all the music that was synced to your phonereviously has been copied to your iTunes on the new MacBook Pro. Then when you connect your phone you will be able to either sync all music or select only those playlists that you want on the phone.

I synced my new iPad with my new macbook and when I tried to then sync my iPhone as well it says that all apps will be replaced with apps in my library. How do I sync without losing all of my existing iPhone apps?
My guess is that you previously synced the iPhone with a different computer in the past. You will probably want to set up Home Sharing.

I have a new macbook and i want to make it my new home for my iphone, as well as transfer all the items on the iphone. i already removed and deauthorized everything from my old computer.
1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above covers your iTunes purchases. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip. -
Where are the notes from my iphone backup and how can I sync them with my new macbook and ipad. And my galaxy 3g if someone is feeling especially generous with their time and attention. Many thanks.
- The iTunes backup that iTunes makes included photos in the camera roll. If yo go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices what is the date of the backup? Is it when the photos were on the iPod? You have to restore from that backup.
- What may have happened is that you backup the iPod after you restored the iPod but before restoring from backup. iTunes only keeps one backup and overwrites the previous backup with the changes. -
Why does iCal look different on iPad than on Macbook and iPhone?
Is there a way to get my calendar in my macbook and iPhone to have the same visual interface as the calendar on my iPad? Is there certain software I need to download? I just don't like the format of the iCal on my my computer and iPhone, and finally they have a good format but only for one of my products.
I have no answers for you on this one, but I agree. I enjoy the layout on my ipad, but it seems that iCal is falling behind in its formatting. With a new iLife out there, and OSX Lion out in the open, you'd think they could make the interface a whole lot better on MacBook if they are offering it on iPad.

my ipad2 is unable to find wireless network(s). while at home I am able to connect my MacBook and iPhone to network but am unable to connect iPad. I have restarted the device multiple times and even reset the network and all settings but still no luck
Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Why is photostream not working together with my macbook and iphone?
Photostream is not working togther with my macbook and iphone. How can I sync it?
Has it ever worked?
If you recently turned on photo stream on the mac and iphone, then (on the iphone) only new photos are included in photo stream, old ones are not.
But syncing to your mac (if the photos originate from the iphone) is critical. That's how you store photos (they can easily disappear on the iphone due to many "issues" that can occur, and relying on an icloud backup is not safe - to many users have lost some/all their photos when doing a restore.
So be sure to begin by doing a sync to the mac using itunes/iphoto with a USB cable. -
How to transfer itunes account to new macbook and ipad
I have an itunes account which is linked with my iphone.. I have recently gotten a new macbook and ipad. Is it possible to transfer from my current account to these new devices? I do not have my old macbook which the itunes account originated from, only my iphone. Do I have to create a new account? Everytime I go to backup my iphone it says it will wipe out what is on it!!! I have hundreds of songs, videos,apps etc etc etc.
Thanks1) authorize iTunes on your new Mac for your iTunes store account (the one you used to purchase from the iTunes store)
2) connect your iPhone and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it (as well as you iPad). -
