Old macbook and itunes
I have an old MacBook that doesnt support the new itunes. My iphone was destroyed in a fall and now i cant figure out how to get my old apps from my macbook onto my new 5s iphone.. Is there anything i can do to try and get my old info???
Hi AmandaD96,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
When you connect your iPhone to your computer, an iPhone icon should appear in iTunes in the left column under Devices. But if it doesn't, this troubleshooting assistant can help.

For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:

In rare circumstances, your device may be recognized after reinstalling iTunes
Hope this helps,

I started to update my ipad but I have an old MacBook and it's really old and I don't have the correct software to update anything. But my ipad is stuck on the connect to itunes screen and wont budge. What do I do?!
Your options depend on which MacBook you have and the version of OS X installed.

new iphone 5 and 4 year old macbook, and for some reason my computer says a later version of iTunes is required. So, i went to ITunes and found i have the latest version availble at this time. iTunes say phone can not be synced because it requires a version of 10.7 or greater?
iPhone 5 requires OS X 10.6.8 & iTunes 10.7 or greater. I suspect you're running Leopard, 10.5.8, correct? If so, you will first have to update your OS, then iTunes in order to sync your phone.

i have one of the old macbooks and wish to hook it up to my tv. do i need a mini dvi to hdmi adapter plus a 3 rca phono lead with a jack for the sound. please help as im useless at this stuff. cheers
First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort. The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports. Each would take a different adapter to connect with the TV. -
I can receive but cannot send IMAP email on my 1&1 mail account from Mac OS 10.10.1 Yosemite Mail on my new Macbook Pro. The account is set up the same port, password, username, server name as on my old Macbook and emails are sending just fine on the old computer.
When I hit send on the new Macbook Pro running Yosemite I get this message:
"The connection to host ... on port 993 failed.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent."
It shows the server as (offline)
I've tried erasing and typing in the password. I've tried both checking and unchecking Automatically detect and maintain account settings. Still cannot send.
I also have a Gmail account and it is working...email service uses an Incoming Server and an Outgoing Server. Mac Mail makes access to the Incoming Server(s) obvious, and hides the settings for the outgoing Server(s). A quick and easy way to get access to the Outgoing Servewr settings is to use:
Window > Connection Doctor ...
... then click on the red light for the Server that is not working for you to see its settings.
This web page will make an educated guess about how to set up your Servers, and NO SPAM will follow:

How can I sell my old MacBook and Take it of my iCloud profile?
I own three apple products that are part of iCloud, I would like to sell my four year old MacBook and Buy me a MacBook Pro. Will I be able to setup I cloud if I buy the new Macbook? How can I get the old mac out my icloud? I was told that I could only have three apple products on Icloud.
Hi...
to sell my four year old MacBook / How can I get the old mac out my icloud?
Erase the disk before selling the MacBook. Securely wipe your hard drive | Macworld
I was told that I could only have three apple products on Icloud.

I have an old MACBook and want to use it as an external drive to load disks on to my new mac. How do I?
Apple makes a Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor if your new computer does not have a Firewire port.

I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please! Also, I still don't understand exactly what the benefits are. At the moment it seems a lot of hassle to change a system that's been working perfectly well and that I'm very happy with. I'm not at all sure whether the mac mini (1.66 GHz INtel Core Duo) can be brought up to the relevant spec to run ICloud. Any thoughts?
There are two aspects to iCloud. One is simply getting an account, or migrating a mobileme account to iCloud. The second part is using the various features of iCloud to sync contacts, calendars, use music match or photo sharing, and store iWorks documents.
First to get an iCloud account:
If you have a mobileme account, you can migrate by simply logging onto www.icloud.com (ignore any references to Lion and just click through to complete the migration). If you have OS X Lion or an iOS 5 mobile device, you can create an iCloud account on that device using any valid AppleID.
Once you have an account, you can use JUST the mail account if you wishi - it is a standard IMAP account so you would set it up like any other IMAP email account you have, in whatever client program you use to read email.
To use the OTHER feautes of iCloud, your computers will have to be running OS X Lion (10.7). Your iPhone 3G will never be able to use iCloud as it cannot run iOS 5 (you need a min. of an iPhone 3GS to run iOS 5).
The requirements for OS X Lion are here - http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html You need a min. of a Core 2 duo processor so you mini is not capable of running Lion.
So, in your case, the single reasons for iCloud would be if you have a mobileme account, then use the online www.icloud.com to migrate your account so you do not lose your @me.com email address. You can use iCloud email (without using any other iCloud features) by setting it up as IMAP mail with these settings - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
If you want an iCloud account and do NOT already have a mobileme account, you will need to upgrade one machine at least to Lion in order to be able to create an iCloud account. -
I want to buy a new macbook pro 2012 with retina display, can i sell my old macbook and add some more money to buy the new one???
Is there any deal like this?Apple has a rebuy and recycle program, but you won't get much for your old MBP from that program. Your best bet is to just sell it yourself (I used eBay) and use the money you get to buy your new computer.
Good luck,

How can I delete music off a device using MacBook and iTunes?
How can I remove music from my iPod and iPhone using a MacBook and iTunes. When I highlight the songs on the device listed on iTunes on my MacBook and then delete them, they don't go away.

I cannot install updates on my macbook and itunes no longer works.
I have a macbook that is 3-4 years old. Recently it stopped booting up at all, however was able to restore using original discs. However, my itunes doesn't work and I cannot install any updates at all. I can download the updates from apple, however, once finished it won't install. The installer utility pops up onthe task bar for about 1 second then disappears. I get no error messages or anything. Same thing for when I try to open itunes...the icon bounces once on the taskbar, but nothing opens. Nothing happens. I think the hard drive may be going bad. Can anybody help me with this? Model info below...
Model Identifier: MacBook2,1

Total Number Of Cores: 2

<Edited by Host>If that was the only machine you've installed it on, just throw the disks in the new machine and install away. All of Adobe's CS and CC software licensing allows you to have it installed on two machines.
If it's older CS software, you would need to install it on the same kind of OS (Mac or PC), but CC software doesn't have that limitation. If you're a CC subscriber, just download the CC Desktop App and install from there no matter which OS you have.
If you get a "Maximum Activations Reached" error, you'll need to call Adobe to have them clear that issue up if the old computer is completely un-salvageable. If you can still fire it up, just open DW on the old machine and choose Help > Deactivate before installing on the new machine. -
MacBook and iTunes won't detect my iPhone 3G
I have the iPhone 3G and it is synced to my PC with windows 7. I just bought a MacBook and want to sync my phone to my MacBook without losing all my contacts and everything on my iPhone, because I plan on selling my PC. The problem is, when I plug my iPhone into my new MacBook the computer and iTunes does not detect my iPhone at all. When I plug it in to the USB port, it charges my phone but it does not detect it on the computer or in the iTunes device list. Yet when I plug my iPod nano into the new MacBook the computer and iTunes detected it immediately. Help! How can I get my MacBook to detect my iPhone so I can use it with my new Mac and not my old pc!?

Backing up data on old MACBOOK and iPhone 3
Hi all,
What is the best way to help my friend back up her data?
I have a friend with an older white MacBook running I believe 10.5 and an older iPhone three or three GS
Currently the MacBook has only 10 gigs free
And her iPhone 3g has over 4000 pictures
As far as I know nothing has ever been backed up before! Yikes!
GOAL : back up all her MacBook and iPhone data
Question: what is the best course of action?
MY THINKING…
1 - get an external drive and back up the computer first using carbon copy cloner or superduper
2 - empty some space so that the MacBook has many more gigabytes to work with
3 - back up (SYNC) the iPhone to the MacBook - now that there are more gigabytes free
4 - now back up the MacBook second time with all the Data from the iPhone included
Q: Is that the best way to go?
ALSO…
As a short-term solution I was thinking if I could attach her old iPhone three to my MacBook Pro which is already synced to my iPhone five
Q: - if I connect her iPhone three using USB– Can I just use image capture out to grab all her photos for safety? With that in any way screw up her syncing connections to her MacBook later? What about My iPhone 5 after….. ex… what devices are connected it asks if you want to trust this computer? Can someone explain exactly what that means– And how it affects your main computer syncing later?any help would be appreciated on this

The old MacBook says "the other mac is ready" and the new iMac says "successfully connected to other Mac. They are connected via Ethernet. Shouldn't there be some sort of indication of progress? It just looks like they're stuck.
