Possible sync process hanging my new Macbook Pro

I've searched the web for an answer to this but can't find anything addressing it. In brief, my new (2 weeks) Macbook Pro 13 stalls (with/without spinning rainbow) and I've noticed this possible culprit in the console app. I can't seem to identify what app is responsible for this and am hoping that someone out there has an answer:
"15/Jul/09 15-Jul-09 9:27 kernel /drv/ MacAsyncDevice.cpp:229 Wait for hostwait_work_complete_asyncdevice (02:00) finished with timeout."
Can anyone tell me what is generating this? I have multiple successive instances every time my system hangs.

thank you for the input carolyn but i confirm that i do not use mobileme. any idea what else that console message could be? i am going to monitor console every time the system hangs to see if its the same culprit but would appreciate some answers. also this has been logged here: http://getsatisfaction.com/apple/topics/syncprocess_hanging_leopard_10_5_7_on_macbookpro

Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

Syncing iphone data into New Macbook Pro

Hey guys,
I read a few answers on the forum but I want clear confirmation if any of you could help. I lost data on my Macbook Pro as the hard drive crashed. I bought a new Macbook Pro and I want to sync the data of the iphone into the new computer.
I need to transfer, mainly...SMSes, Contacts, Photos, and mail data (My mail is all IMAP though which is good right? perhaps transfer that information would be nice).
Applications and the data on them if possible and music would be good.
Isit safe and as easy as plug and sync? I also have a Fruux Account but the iphone data is more updated because while awaiting my new laptop, I was using my iphone as the temporary computer.
Is there anything else I should do first? Sync Fruux first or vice versa and should I do anything else?
Thank you!

Good, glad you have a backup. So what you need to do is move those libraries from your PC to the new MBP and then import them into iTunes. Follow the instructions you will find here. I would recommend you move the files to an external HD.
Prior to doing that I would also recommend you read over Switch 101 and Mac 101. Both of these links will provide you invaluable information for someone making the switch from a PC to a Mac.

Sync iphone 4s with new macbook pro help needed

I have a new iPhone 4s and a new MacBook Pro.
I have synced the iPhone 4s with my old MacBook.
It won't now sync all of that data with my new MacBook Pro.
I do not want to transfer all data from my old computer to my new computer.
How can I move just iPhone 4s data?
I have tried iExplorer to try and get the data directly from the phone,
but I am not tech savvy to put the info. in the right folders of itunes, etc.
Any step by step help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

How do I sync Iphone 5 to new MacBook Pro without deleting what's on iPhone?

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro and I have an iPhone 5 that has been synced with my PC. When I try and sync the iPhone with the new MacBook ti tells me that it will erase what is on the iPhone and replace it with what is on the MacBook. I want to sync all that is on the iPhone with the MacBook and not delete what is on the iPhone.
How do I do that without loosing any music, emails, photos, calender appointments, etc.?
Thank you for the help in advance.

A device can only sync with one library at a time. Ideally you transfer the library from the PC to the Mac so it is still syncing with the same library.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
Windows users see tip at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18879381
If you put it in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
If you don't have the library anymore then it gets messy. You will have to use third party software to transfer the phone contents to the Mac and rebuild your library there so its content matches that of the old library so you are syncin the content back to the phone.
Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

Syncing multiple iPhones to new macbook pro

My wife and I both have iPhones which we sync to our work computers. We have both purchased different apps, and music, but also have a lot of the same music in each of our iTunes. I just bought a new macbook pro – which we are both going to sync to from now on – What's the best way to do this?
If i set up 2 user accts, do we have to duplicate all of our shared music in both accounts? I dont want to lose any paid apps or music.

Hi Dan,
Its just a matter of preference.
You can create a single user account and sync specific playlists from iTunes, groups from Address Book, and certain calendars from iCal to the specific iPhone. You can also create another user account and sync all music and video from iTunes, along with all contacts and calendars.
The iPhone can sync and merge contacts, calendars, bookmarks and notes on multiple computers and user accounts, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
If you decide to create separate user accounts, this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203 will walk you through sharing your music between different user accounts on the same computer.

Syncing iphone data to new macbook pro

Sync old ipod to new macbook pro

how do i sync my old ipod and its library to my new macbook pro without losing music. I dont just want to transfer purchases but all my old songs. There doesnt seem to be an easy option to do this.

Correct, there is no Apple sanctioned option to get the music to your new computer from your iPod.
Instead, transfer your iTunes library from your former computer to your new computer.

Problem syncing iPhone contacts to new Macbook Pro

I have a new Macbook Pro - still getting it set up - and I just noticed that, of the several hundred contacts I have on my iPhone 5s, only 14 or so found their way to the contacts app on the Macbook Pro? Ideas about why? (I checked my phone settings and I do have contacts "on" in iCloud, so that shouldn't be the problem.) Unfortunately, this is a time when Apple Care is "experiencing an unusually high volume of calls" so I'm not getting through...

I was able to solve the problem: I dragged the folder named iPod Photo Cache to the Trash (following the instructions in: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314 and the discussion in: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11399437&#11399437)
Thank you very much, Ingo2711!

Syncing iphone to my new macbook pro without losing my contacts/text messages

hello.
i just bought a macbook pro and im loving it
i transfered all my music and pictures from my pc to my mac
but now i need to sync my iphone to my mac so i dont have to use my pc no more.
im worried that i will lose all my contacts and my text messages if i sync my iphone to my mac.
everything is fine except that i dont wanna lose my contacts and my text messages.
is there any way to figure this out.
please Help!!

Text messages aren't included with the iTunes sync process except for being included with the iPhone's backup, and the same for contacts unless you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, which must be manually selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
Before syncing contacts with the Address Book app on your Mac, enter one contact in the Address Book app on your Mac. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
The same applies to calendar events before the first sync with iCal on your Mac.
If you transfer your iTunes library from your PC to your Mac per the instructions included with this link, no iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased with the first sync with iTunes on your Mac.

Syncing Ipod Touch to new MacBook Pro

I have just purchased this MacBook and am trying to sync my Ipod Touch. The Itunes software did not see the Ipod, so following online instructions, I reset my iPod to New status. The Itunes program still does not "see" the ipod. The ipod meanwhile is asking to connect to Itunes in order to sync. When changing computers I "migrated' the HD data from my previous computer. What can I do ??

Make sure Apple Mobile Device Service is installed and try to connect in recovery mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Did you use Time Machine to back up your Mac or do you still have access to your last backup? If yes, copy the iTunes ipod backup folder to your new Macbook and restore your ipod from that backup.
See more about backups and the location of the backup folder here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

Is it possible to exchange for a new macbook pro?

I have a 2010 macbook pro with my apple care already expired since summer of 2011. I haven't had any problems with it until this past month where the hard drive became corrupted and the computer started getting really slow and "laggy" and the fans constantly spinning faster and louder than normal. I took it to the local apple store and they fixed the hard drive and replaced a few parts with a charge of $300, but the other problem still persists. I took it back to get it repaired again, but later on in the day I got it back, the problem is still there. Is there anyway I could just exchange the macbook pro for a new one? I'm really needing it for this school semester but I haven't been able to use it at all because I keep taking it back to get repaired.

First, go back to the Apple Store and inquire about their repair. Their work is guaranteed for a period of time but I am unsure about its duration.
There is no trade-in or trade up program but full time college students are entitled to discounts on new purchases. Ask about that too.
