Anyone can point me out on some proper steps to connect my new iPhone5c to my old MacBook running an updated 10.6 OS?

Hello,
Anyone can point me out on some proper steps to connect my new iPhone5c to my old MacBook running an updated 10.6 OS? Cannot make the iPhone to connect to he MacBook (Bluetooth) even the latter has already paired the new device and it seems ready to use.
The iPhone only want to forget the device (my MacBook) while it cannot connect to it.
I also created a WiFi network on my MacBook and joined the iPhone to it - cannot see it anywhere.
I have connected the iPhone to the Macbook using the provided USB cable but Finder does not show the iPhone, that only presented me with the option to trust or not the Computer the moment I plugged in the USB cable.
Am I missing something? Am I doing something wrong?
Thx,
Iul

Unless you're trying to Tether, your phone won't pair with your Mac...file transfer, by Bluetooth, is not supported.
Your phone won't appear in Finder, as Disk mode is not supported on any iPhone.

I did allllll that is listed below, but when I get to sync iPad, it won't sync, what do I do? Preparation Before you connect any device to a new library go to the Devices tab

THis is what I did, but when I get to sync, it won't sync.....what do I doLynnLynn
Preparation
Before you connect any device to a new library go to the Devices tab of the the preferences panel via Edit > Preferences (Windows) or iTunes > Preferences (Mac) and ensure the box next to Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically is ticked. You can now safely connect the device to your computer without the danger of media being automatically deleted or overwritten.
If this device contains contacts or calendar items that are not already on the computer you are using, and that you wish to recover, then make sure you have at least one contact & one event in the applications that will sync with the device (e.g. Windows Address Book or Outlook under Windows, iCal & Address Book on a Mac).Dummy entries will do, but there must be at least one if the data is to be retrieved from the device in step 7 below.
Transfer purchases
You can transfer your iTunes Store purchases into a new library, after connecting the device, with the menu itemFile > Transfer Purchases from <Device>. You should be prompted to authorize the computer to your iTunes account if you have not already done so. If your device holds content from more than one account you will need to authorize each one.
See also: HT1848 - iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer.
Back up (iOS only)
If this is an iOS device you should now right-click on it (control-click on a Mac) in the left-hand column of the iTunes window and click Back Up to make a backup of the current settings and application data on the device.
Recover other media
iTunes only permits the transfer of iTunes Store purchases. If your device contains other media that you've ripped from CD or downloaded from other online stores you can either go back to the original sources or use third party software to extract your data from your device. There is a list of some of the software available below.
Recover other purchases
Your device may not have held all your iTunes Store purchases. You can recover qualifying purchases from your account by visiting the home page of the iTunes Store and clicking on the Purchased link in the Quick Linkssection in the right-hand column.
See also: HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Restore (iOS only)
Having backed up your device, and rescued all the media from it that you can, you should now restore the device from the backup that you took earlier to ensure that the device is properly associated with this new library. Right-click on it (control-click on a Mac) in the left-hand column of the iTunes window and click Restore from Backup...
Sync
Set up your preferences for syncing Music, TV Shows, Podcasts, Info etc. then click Sync. For a device that holds calendar or contact information you should be prompted to restore or merge. Click merge to copy this information into your computer. Your device is now properly associated with your new library and you shouldn't have lost any data.
Backup your library
For the future you should backup your library to a separate hard drive or network share as restoring a backup is much easier than the process above. The user tip Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy gives a suggested way of doing this effectively for Windows users. Mac owners can make use of Time Machine, or useCarbon Copy Cloner which does a similar job to SyncToy.

Can't connect to SQL Database using new login

I can connect to Azure SQL Database using the admin ID created when I set up the Azure account. Now I want to set up a different login that has only regular read/write privileges. I have followed the instructions on several web posts, to create
a login at the server level, then create a user at the database level from the login. When I try to connect, though, the connection fails. I get an error message, and a GUID that I am supposed to supply to MS tech support, except that all I have
is a standard Azure subscription, which does not include tech support.
Here is what I have done so far:
Logging in to the server with the admin account with SQL Mgmt Studio, I go to the master database on my Azure server, and create the login:
CREATE LOGIN clouduser@gxw8x04nlb with PASSWORD = 'xoxoxoxo';
This appears to work (password supplied is a "strong" password), or at least it doesn't show any error response.
Then, connecting to the production database in Azure, I set up a user and set permissions as follow:
CREATE USER clouduser1 FROM LOGIN clouduser@gxw8x04nlb;
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_datareader', 'clouduser1'
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_datawriter', 'clouduser1'
When I attempt to connect to Azure using the new login, however, I get an error message (from SQL Mgmt Studio as well as from MS Access). I am using the SQL Server Native Client 10.0.
The message is:
Connection failed:
SQLState '28000'
SQL Server Error 18456
[Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'clouduser'.
Connection failed:
SQLState: '01000'
SQL Server Error: 40608
[Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0][SQL Server]This session has been assigned a tracing ID of
'271851d5-8e94-497c-a332-d9d40682bb7a'. Provide this tracing ID to customer support when you need assistance.
Is there some missing step I need to do, to permit the login to see the database? I have looked for such in the various discussions about connection problems, but have not been able to find such a thing. Or extend more permissions to the new
user? Or specify a default user ID for a given login ? (as they do not have the same names, in the examples I have seen). I tried making the user ID the same as the login (w/o the server name), but that didn't seem to help, either.
I have done numerous web searches, and tried about every variation of login or user ID, password, etc. that I can think of, and all of them encounter the same error. It's got to be something very simple - clearly Azure supports more than one login
per database. But's that's all I have at the moment. That login connects just fine, but others won't, using the same PC, middleware, IP address, etc.
Any help would be much appreciated -
Thanks,
Doug

Olaf -
I noticed that, but all of the examples I have seen have Users named slightly differently from the Logins. I did try logging in with the Login name instead. No good. I tried making the Login and the User name the same (clouduser). Also
no good - same symptoms.
I think the problem is that the initial creation of the Login needs to be done WITHOUT the server name on the end.
Logged in to the master DB, I tried: Create LOGIN clouduser@gxw8x04nlb with PASSWORD = 'xoxoxoxo';
That didn't give me an error message, but I think it created a LOGIN of 'clouduser@gxw8x04nlb'. When
referenced from the outside world, I would need to specify 'clouduser@gxw8x04nlb@gxw8x04nlb'.
I tried deleting the logins, and then creating the login 'clouduser' in the Master DB. Then in
the application DB, I created User clouduser from LOGIN clouduser, and then assigned a role. That seems to work!
In my connection string, File DSN, etc. I still need to supply the login as 'clouduser@gxw8x04nlb'.
But when I am logged in to the server, and working in the Master DB or the application DB, I just refer to the Login as 'clouduser'.
Seems a little more complicated than it really should be, but at least I now have something that works.

I am trying to connect the scanner of a new MF8580 to my iMAC

I am trying to connect the scanner of a new MF8580 to my iMac. The printer works fine and the iMac does recognize the scanner, but they fail to connect. I downloaded the MF Toolbox from the Canon site, but it does not work because the scanner and computer do not connect. When I try to scan, the message on the display is also that I should connect the scanner to the computer. But how?
I hope someone can help to resolve this issue!

How would I connect my Macbook to a new Plasma tv?

I have an Intel Macbook which has a mini-DVI output, and I can connect it via a mini-DVI to DVI cable into the plasma telly I already own. This gives me a 1024x640 resolution on my plasma.
However, I have been looking to upgrade my plasma to a new HD one, and have been looking at the Pioneer pdp-4280xd. This has all the usual connections (3xhdmi, component, s-video etc) as well as a PC input, which is SXGA. According to one website, SXGA can throw out a resolution of 1280x1024. However this telly only has a pixel res of 1024x768. Regardless, according to the Apple website, it states my Macbook mini-DVI connection only supports DVI, VGA, S-Video, and Composite (blahh!!). So I am assuming then, that my Macbook won't be able to send a signal through the SXGA port, correct?
If that is the case, how else is best for me to connect my Macbook to a new telly like this one? Can I connect via a HDMI port? I have read S-video is not as good as using a DVI input, but there doesn't seem to be much choice if there isn't a DVI or VGA input available. And if I do connect via S-video, in this telly's case, I am assuming I can only get a max res of 1024x768 (the tv has rectangular pixels to give it a widescreen aspect).
Is it best for me to wait for a 42" plasma which has full HD resolution so I can have better res with my Macbook connected? And how is best for me to connect it with all these new tv ports?
Thanks for any advise.

Hi,
Maybe the Apple TV would be the most elegant solution. However you have posted your question in the wrong forum so not likely to get any answers here.
best of luck,
Niall

My computer crashed, how do i connect my ipod to a new computer

My old computer crashed (died in power surge). I have a brand new computer and a backup of my music files. How do i connect my ipod to a new computer and re-assign my music files to the ipod on the new computer?

Open itunes, connect ipod, select what you want, sync.

How can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

how can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

Is the new iTunes library on a different computer, or the same computer?
Are you concerned about photos that you have taken with the iPhone in the Camera Roll, or photos you have synced to the iPhone from your computer?
Contacts should be configured to sync with an app on your computer. You set this up in iTunes on the Info tab with the iPhone connected. You will not lose any contacts if the app on your computer has at least one contact.

My PC was stolen. How can I connect my Iphone on a new PC without loosing everything (music, contacts, pictures, appli ....)?

Hello everybody,
Unfortunitely, my pc was stolen. Now I want to connect my Iphone on the new one but I don't know how to do it without loosing all I have inside (music, contacts, sms, mms, pictures, aplli ...).
I have done a backup from my Iphone... and a backup of my PC HD just one day before so I hope you will have a solution for me !!
An other thing... I don't know very well Itunes ... I can say that I am a beginner !!
Thanks a lot for your help !!

There is no way to get pictures off the phone or to move them from folders to the camera roll. The format on the phone is proprietary, so even if you could get them off you couldn't use them. Having said that, search the Internet; there are some apps that can access some files on the iPhone without hacking it. There may be one that can get the photos off. The only other option is to email them to yourself. This will reduce the resolution, however.
I'm afraid you have pointed out the importance of frequent computer backups.

Error message when connecting to iTunes says my new iPad 4 can't be connected as it requires version 10.7 or later. Surely a new iPad already has the latest version, and if it doesn't how do I get it?

Not the iPad - your computer must be running iTunes 10.7 in order to sync. It has nothing to do with iTunes on the iPad.
You can download iTunes for your computer here.

The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The sync is oen way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purhases
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

Need help switching my iPhone from connecting to old PC to new Mac.
