Problem synching PC formated iphone on Mac
I have moved from a PC to imac G5 running os x 10.4 and cannot figure out how to get iphone that was previously updated on a PC to synch on the mac. Phone wants itunes 10.1 or later and mac will only run 9.2.
It's OSX 10.4 that's the problem - you need OSX 10.5.8 or later. It'll run on a G5 (I have it on a G4 Powerbook) but you'll have to hunt to find it (eBay is good, Amazon is better)

Problems transferring photos from iphone to mac, iphoto says there is nothing to download...
Hi, I need to transfer photos from iphone to mac. My mac can 'see' my iphone with iphoto open, but the box says there are no photos to download. Could anyone help me please? This has never been a problem before (it was fine about 2 weeks ago). I've tried turning both devices off and have spent a couple of hours trying to search for this problem on the internet. I can't remember when I updated to OS 7.1 but I guess that was recently; could this be the problem? Thank you so much.
This has nothing to do with iOS 7.1

Problem with windows formatted iPod on Mac
I have a 20gb 4th gen iPod formatted for Windows. I just received a Mini Mac as a gift and now I want to use the iPod on it. When I connect the iPod and run iTunes it recognizes it and updates and does everything it's supposed to do, but if I try to click on any of the items in the menu on the left (Library, Playlists, etc.) iTunes quits completely and the iPod is ejected. I've tried restoring but that makes it quit, too. I've also tried completely erasing everything from the iPod manually (even the hidden files and folders) but that doesn't reformat it. Any suggestions?

Mini Mac Mac OS X (10.4)Senuti.
It's a program that transfers music from iPod to iTunes on a Mac.
As is Music Rescue.
Both of these should work with a Windows formatted iPod because Macs can read and write to FAT32 formatted drives. -
Having problems synching my iPad with my mac
Hello,
I have one of the original iPads, bought about 18 months ago. I originally synched it with an old PC, which is no longer in use. I have a new-ish MacBook Air, which is where I would now like to synch to for my photos, itunes etc.
I have just tried to synch my ipad to the Macbook, and although it did do it i.e. it transferred photos from my MacBook to my iPad, it DIDN'T transfer all of the purchased content that was new on my iPad i.e. some apps that I had downloaded from the app store, and many books that I had purchased from the amazon Kindle app. or, if it did download them, I can't see them......
Basically, I would like my iPad to recognise the MacBook as being the new place to automatically synch with, and to have all downloaded apps and content held on both sites. How can I achieve this? I am also a bit confused by the 'Cloud' concept - is this somethign I should be using to share content between the devices?? I also have an iPhone, and I haven't even started the process of synching this yet......
Any advice would be appreciated.....
LucyIt sounds like you are heading in the right direction. You did authorize the new computer in iTunes>Store>Authorize this computer?
Amazon books are stored on Amazon's servers and you cannot transfer them into iTunes. You can log into your Amazon.com account and got to Manage Digital Content and you will see all of your purchased books in there.
As far as Apps that did not transfer, the first question I would have is did you buy these apps with another ID that you are currently using in iTunes on the Mac? Are the apps in your iTunes library and if so, did you select them to sync to the iPad? If the apps are not in iTunes did you transfer the purchases into iTunes? If you didn't, I am guessing that iTunes erased the apps from the iPad and you didn't mention that.
Connect the iPad to the Mac, launch iTunes, click on the iPad name on the left, click on the Apps Tab, click on all of the apps that you want to sync, make sure that the sync apps heading is checked and then click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
If you haven't transferred all of your purchased content into iTunes, you might find this discussion to be helpful.

Problem after sync my iPhone to mac.
everytime now the itunes will say some of the items i purchased couldn't be transferred to my library coz i am not authorized to this computer.
so i authorized this computer but, still i can't use my apps, every single one of them except the ones that come with the iphone.
this is so weird coz sometimes, out of nowhere, i can use it but not on most of the times.
little help please, thank youScott,
Hopefully, it's just a transient problem with the iCloud account. You might wait awhile and see if it goes away.
If it does persist, you might want to get in touch with iCloud support to see if they can shed any light on what the problem might be. To me it seems like the problem is on their end, not yours.

Problems synching Audiobooks to iphone 4
I just don't understand how Apple handles audiobooks. I have a variety of books which have been either ripped from CDs or downloaded from Audible. The ripped books are in my library by following the steps below:
1. Insert disk; join tracks; hit import
2. When the whole book is on the hard drive, select all files; get info; change media type to audiobook
3. Create smart playlist with two criteria - 1) album name; 2) plays=0
When I plug in my phone, under the book tab, the playlist/book will appear in either "Audiobooks" or "Include Audiobooks from Playlists." Sometimes this will be in one; sometimes the other; sometimes both. Can't figure out a pattern.
When I synch my phone, my books often, but not always, show up under the Audiobook icon. Sometimes they show up under "Playlist" and then under "books."
Does anyone know how to make this more dependable?
Does anyone know why itunes separates the two locations for audiobooks?
TIAIf you find out I'd love to know the answer. I use Overdrive to download audiobooks from the public library. All of the audio books I download are going to my iphone under playlists, yet when I go to iTunes they show up under books.

How to synch notes from iPhone to Mac (10.9)
Hi,
I'm really confused as to how to synch notes from my phone to / from my Mac..
I went in to iCloud and it seems to insist that I create a new email account ([email protected])...why do I need to do that?I already have iCloud synching of addresses on my address book without this?
Can anyone explain how to do this?
I've looked at the Apple support site and all it says is "You can sync with the Notes app using IMAP or iCloud. Syncing Notes using iTunes is no longer supported on OS X v10.8 and later."....but this doesn't really help me. I need a bit more to go on...!
Thanks,
Alan.If you open Notes (the computer application), do you have any notes there? If so, are they under On My Mac or iCloud? Does iCloud show there at all? If iCloud doesn't show there, Notes/Default Account - see if iCloud is there and set it up as your default account. That should give you what looks like the screen shot below (if the forum software will show it).
If iCloud doesn't show there, Notes/Add Account and select iCloud. -
Is anyone having problems synching itunes with iphone 5 ?
I have a Pc with windows XP. I can't download my itunes library to my iphone 5s. I could with iPhone 4.
I have the latest version of itunes on my computer.
I've been told by Apple and Verizon that my computer is too old and doesn't have the necessary drivers to run iphone 5.
Is anyone else having this same problem? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.I don't wnat you to have any issues with your device, tracybayne! Let's get to work to make sure we get you up and running. Have you been able to try to reset the network settings in your phone? The best way to do that is to go into Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings. The phone will power cycle and then you will need to re-type in all the wi-fi passwords again. Once that is done, please re-test it out. Keep us posted.

Neither my iphone nor my ipad would appear in itunes when i connect them to my mac. I have already upgraded my itunes to the latest version. I have no problem synching my ipod to itunes using the same mac though. Could it be because I am using an older mac? (Mac OS X version 10.4.11)?
You need to be using a Mac OS X version at least as new as the one given in the device's original system requirements.

Synching Microsoft Exchange/Outlook contacts from iPhone to Mac or PC
At work, my wife's iPhone was synched through Microsoft Exchange Server to Outlook on a PC network. Now, we have no access to that server, but all the contacts are still living on the iPhone (under a separate email account. If that email account is deleted the contacts are deleted as well). There MUST be a way to synch those contacts back to either the Mac Address Book OR her laptop PC, right? I have researched everywhere and cannot find an answer. We have tried many times to synch the phone to both Mac and PC through iTunes with "Sync Contacts" checked, but no luck. They remain on the phone, but do not move over. I have also tried opening the SQLitedb file from the backup, but it is very cryptic, with different filed split among different databases. Any help saving her 1200 contacts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks. I tried idrive lite and its pretty good. I was able to backup all of my contacts to the online site. The only problem is that they only provide the option to restore the contacts to another mobile device. Not to another computer. Its still better than nothing but I would still prefer to be able to transfer the contacts to my home computer so that I have the same contact list in my personal outlook on my home computer. I tried exporting the contacts from my work computer but my company uses outlook 2003 and at home I use outlook 2007 which wont recognize the pst files from the 2003 version. Also, outlook won't export export vcard or vsc files. It only provides the option to inport them. So far idrive lite is the best solution I've found but if anyone else has any suggestions I'd be very appreciative.
Thanks. -
I have itunes set up on a PC with all my music, apps, etc. I want to stop using PC and move my iTunes and files to a Mac I bought and synch my iPhone with the Mac. Can I just synch iPhone with Mac iTunes and will it copy all my stuff onto Mac, or will I have to copy files from PC onto Mac?

My o2 email account does not work when sending from my MAC it will accept incoming mail but not send it gives me a message that o2 account (offline) my mac I have no problem with my iPhone or mac laptop. any suggestions please.
Sorry for the delay...
I did what you've told me, new account and manually copied my files from Time Machine. I had lots of permissions problems, but at the end, almost everything is in order... It seems it had to be with some of the Apple Preferences, but I can't be sure, as most of them were dumped to the trash can.
I still don't have my Mail Rules back, unfortunately, although I did goggled some. It is a pity, as I had around 30 or 40 of them, getting my mail in order to each of its mailboxes, but it is a small price as the rest doesn't show the before syntoms.
Thanks for the help, anyway!! -
I have a problem synching calendar data between my iPhone 3GS iOS 5.1 & Outlook 2007 on MS7. The basic calendar data transfer is OK but the birthdays (little box icon) are a day early & cannot be changed to the correct date. The birthday entries in my Outlook contacts have correct dates.How can I fix this?
The following peocess corrects the calendar entry:
edit the contact & change the birthday, save the change; edit the contact & change the birthday to the correct value, save the change again. The calendar entry then displays on the correct date. Alternatively as a temp solution I can just de-select the "birthdays" calendar which stops the icon being displayed.
Thanks for your advice, I think that it's n going to be a slow process to fix all the entries for not much return. -
Never have had a problem synching both of my iPhones with my PC, specically Outlook files, now having a problem. It goes thru the whole process and shows completed, doesn't add any recent events posted to my PC calendar. Should I delete and reinstall iTunes?
think the current itune version removed the feature and that you should use iclouds to sync your outlook stuff and your ios
but read they will be adding the direct sync from itunes again in the next version of itunes or something like that
for now just use icloud it's free and easy to setup
