Noob? Need to make Macbook primary iTunes (from Macbook Pro)

Ok, here's the deal. Work has supplied everyone with a Macbook and my phone is set to use my Macbook Pro as the standard iTunes account.
On my iPhone I have podcasts, some images, recorded notes, and of course, eight (8) pages of applications. Now, I know you can have just one computer synched with the iPhone (is there software, legit or not that will bypass this? Just curious). What is the proper way to take everything on my phone and synch it to my WORK macbook as this is the computer that I will use 90% of the time.
Thank you.

iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content from an iPod or iPhone that was purchased from the iTunes store, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only.
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.
You should authorize the MacBook with your iTunes account with iTunes first.
If your iPhone includes any music or video that was not purchased from the iTunes store, you need to transfer your iTunes library from your MacBook Pro to the MacBook. Transferring the iTunes named folder in the Music folder will also transfer playlists, etc.

  • What is needed to make the right connection from MacBook Pro to Samsung HDTV 1080p??

    Using macbook pro  w/Mtn Lion O/S to connect to Samsung LED ultra thin flat screen TV with DVI/HDMI cable to DMI input on TV.  This connection works only for screen saver photos and not much else- no audio and no video and no mac screen output.

  • HT1399 How can I stop my MacBook's iTunes from asking if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one?

    How can I stop my MacBook's iTunes from asking if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one? Is it a bug from iTunes's version 11.0.5?
    Since I dowloaded and installed iTunes' version 11.0.5 on my MacBook, it is behaving strangely:
    - displaying an alert message asing if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one
    - not playing tracks in the order they're displayed in my library, sometimes jumping from one playlist to the other
    I did check my settings and preferences for playing tracks and tried changing some parameters in them, however it still doesn't help.
    It seems to be a bug in iTunes' version 11.0.5 — if you had a similar experience and found how to solve this discomfort, thanks for contacting me.

    Oui, je parle français. En fait, il semble qu'Apple ait résolu le problème auquel j'étais confronté car ce problème a disparu suite à la mise à jour logicielle d'après (désormais sous Mavericks).
    (It seems Apple solved the problem I was facing since this problem disappeared after I updated my software to/under Mavericks).

  • Does anyone know how to separate a movie track from an audio track on the new Mavericks Garage band. It used to be very easy on the iLife 11 version. If anyone could respond ASAP I'd be grateful. I need to make an audio file from a video.

    I urgently need to make some audio tracks from videos using the new 2013 GarageBand. In iLife11 Garageband, this was very easy. However, I cannot see how to do it in the new one. The alternative might be to revert to the iLife11 version, so does anyone know how to do this. It's extremely urgent since I need to produce these for a court custody hearing which will take place at 0800 GMT UK time on 31st October 2013. Please help.
    Thank you.

    When you drag a movie from the Media Browser to the Time lIne in GarageBand, you will see a pop-up "Extracting Audio".
    The Movie and the audio file will appear in separate tracks. You can copy the audio region from the sound track to a different track to keep it safe and then hide the Movie track.

  • Unable to share iTunes from macbook pro to mac mini

    I have a Macbook Pro  and a Mac Mini both running 10.6.8. They are connected wirelessly and I can open the Macbook Pro from the Mac Mini. However I cannot share the iTunes from the Macbook Pro to the Mac Mini. No Shared item comes up in the Library list. Any solutions?

    make sure this checkbox in preferences > general is ticked.

  • Sharing--how can I transfer iTunes from Macbook to iMac?

    I use my iMac as my "main" machine and storage place, but occasionally download iTunes from my Mac Powerbook. I've set the the sharing settings so that my Powerbook says "share my entire library" and my iMac says "look for shared library" (I don't want a complete library on both machines). Both are on the same Airport wireless network in the same house.
    I'm not showing any of the Powerbook downloaded tunes on my iMac. Am I missing something? Do I need to insure that both machines are turned on?
    It's not a major issue, since for the six months I've been using a Passport storage drive to make the transfer. Still, it would be far more convenient if the two computers "conversed" as I assumed they would.
    Thank you for any suggestions,
    Cap

    I guess I meant do both programs have to be open simultaneously. I was running from one room to the other waiting to see additions to my iTunes library. But that clears it up. Not all bad news, because now it appears I can afford to have both computers in "search" mode without fear of cluttering up the storage space on the notebook.
    Thanks,

  • Import my Itunes from Macbook to Macmini

    I have a 3 year old Macbook and a new Mac mini. I am trying to move the music from my Itunes on Macbook to the new mini. Home sharing only works when both computers are on and Itunes is open on both? There must be a way to transfer the music, right?
    I must be missing something obvious. Please take a moment to point it out.

    There are many reports like yours. Apparently there are bugs yet to be worked out in Handoff. Make sure you've taken all the steps directed in the support article linked below. If you have, restart the phone and try again. Failing that, you can either contact Apple Support, go to a "Genius Bar," or wait for an update to iOS and/or OS X.

  • I need to make a logo downloaded from old website sharper. How can I do this?

    This is the logout. I need to make it bigger and not lose any quality for posters. Where do I start?

    Trace it with the pen tool. Then add the appropriate fills. If the logo is a vector shape, you can enlarge it all you want. But as is, I am afraid you will be disappointed with the results. So tracing is really your best option. That, or if you can get access to the original high quality image or object.

  • Transferr Itunes from Macbook to Mac where Mac already as an Itunes library

    The Mac I am writing on was filled with Itunes (some bought from Istore, some ripped from my CDs) a couple of years back. It was then not used for 2 years as it was sent to storage. In the meantime I bought a Macbook and also loaded some Itunes onto it. I now want to sync my libraries or (probably more realistic) import the Macbook library to the Mac library without losing any music. Any suggestions gratefully received. PS. I have Mobileme but have read that this is not ideal for use as an Itunes storage) Many thanks

    There are a few utilities specifically designed to help you sync iTunes across different computers. You could begin your research by having a look at these for instance:
    TuneRanger
    SuperSync

  • Help needed in how to transfer iTunes from old computer to new computer

    Hello!
    I'm really struggling in how to work a way to transfer the music from my iTunes on my old computer to my new computer without wiping all of the music from my iPod... does anyone have any ideas?
    Cheers muchly,
    Sarahjk

    There are a few things you could do, from networking the two computers, using an external hard drive or even using your iPod to make the move. Have a look at this User Tip: Migrating iTunes for Windows to a new PC
    If you can network the computers there is also this one: Copying songs over a network to use with iTunes for Windows
    To use your iPod on two computers without accidentally erasing it, change it to manual update on your old computer before connecting it to the new one. Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have loaded iTunes on your new computer and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync:
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing content manually on iPod
    Another way to load iTunes on your new PC is to copy the songs directly from the iPod. There is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

  • HT201250 unable to sync music on itunes from macbook laptop to new iphone 5

    I just bought iphone 5. my mac book is OS X version 10.5.8.
    Prolem is I am trying to sync music from itunes as i did in iphone 4, but unable to do it because it requires itunes 10.7 and Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later. What I have to do now?? Why iphone 5 is not compatible with my existing itunes as I did on iphone4??

    Because in designing the iPhone 5 Apple needed to use an Updated version of iTunes in order to offer all the new features that the iPhone 5 offers.  This is discussed in a Support Article on the Mac's OS X Requirements for syncing with the iPhone 5.  Apple has always had to update its Apps and OS's in order to offer new features.  You just haven't Upgraded your Mac and its version of OS X in a long time.  Now would be a good time.
    Hope this helps

  • ITunes from Macbook Pro not connecting to iTunes Match unless external hard drive plugged in Macbook Pro?

    Hi,
    I uploaded my entire iTunes library from an external hard drive connected to my MacBook Pro and now it seems anytime I want to play music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro the same external hard drive has to be connected? What am I missing so I can play my music library on my MacBook like I do on my iPhone?

  • Can't find the movie I rented in itunes from MacBook...rediculous

    Ok I give up after searching for over 2 hours now for a movie I rented from itunes.  I used my MacBook Pro but after the movie downloaded I turned the MacBook off because I wanted to watch it later.  Now for the life of me I can not find that damm movie.  Can someone help me out?  I searched the internet but all I found where frustrated posts from people with the same problem.  This is rediculous.  It shouldn't be this difficult.

    If you have downloaded it directly to your iPad then open the Videos app and go to the Rentals tab.
