Sync replacement Bold with my Mac

My Bold got wet on vacation and had to be replaced.  I went to sync the replacement phone with my Mac but was unsuccessful.  I had no problems syncing my other Bold.  I have the same SIM card and I have the appropriate software installed on my Mac for the Sync to work.  I just can't get it to sync with the replacement phone.  Any suggestions would be great.

On your original BlackBerry Bold, did you ever update the software and if so, did you do the same with the new one?  Also may want to make sure you are connecting the USB cable prior to opening the application you are using to sync. The other potential cause could be that the sync folders need to be cleaned on the Mac.  It might be a good idea to check and see if there is an actual error message showing.

  • I have updated my iPhone 3s to the latest software. I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available. Help!

    I have updated my iPhone 3Gs to the latest software in an attempt to iron out a problem with a new telephone network provider (Tmobile). I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download from iTunes as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available to re-download although it all shows up on my Mac. The music and app content cannot be restored when I try to restore the phone from the back up I madeon my Mac. Help!

    Working on that now.  I'm just getting frustrated that everytime I run updates for the phone I end up with tech problems that I have to spend time solving as opposed to updates that actually improve my usage.  Now I will once again get to spend hours reloading my phone all for updates that didn't affect my usage in the first place.

  • When I synced my phone with my mac, the music that I had in my phone got transferred to my mac. 140 songs to be exact, however I can no longer see the songs on my phone, only the purchased album I have appears. How can I get the songs I had back?

    Connect your phone to computer, and sync like this. Check the boxes for the playlists, artists, albums you want to sync. Then click Apply. If you have enough space on your phone, you can choose Entire music library.

    Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • What app do I need to sync my android with my Mac

    I have a Mac Android and ipod touch 4G 64GB. And I love the way everything syncs and is up to date.
    Like Calender and contacts and music. Is there a app that can do this with my android and my Mac??
    Any comments and app sugestions welcome please?

    This is a good question I'd like to know the answer to, too.
    I have one android phone and am looking to buy another. However, I can't even get the bluetooth syncing to work with the mac let alone anything else. The best you can hope for is Dropbox syncing, I think (not quite the same thing, I know).

  • I sync my iphone with my mac. I now have a different folder for each pictue. There are hundreds of them. It seems to be fine in iphoto. Anyone else have this?

    This just started. I sync my iphone with my mac pro. Then i delete the photo's after they have been transferred. What has just happened is on my iphone it duplicated all my events and put 1 -5 pics in a folder under the same name causing me to now have 50 folders for one event  On the iphoto side it is all good. just on the iphone.

    Make sure you have the latest version of iPhoto. Run Software Update.

  • Can I sync my phone with two Macs?

    Howdy,
    I have a Mac at home and a Mac at work, both of which I keep sync'd with .Mac. I have a bluetooth adaptor on the Mac at home which I use to sync with my Sony Ericsson T637. If I put a bluetooth adaptor on the Mac at work, can I sync my phone with either Mac interchangeably? That is, if I sync my phone with my home Mac, then come to work and sync it with my work Mac, will iSync do the right thing? Will it realize that all the data is the same and not try to duplicate everything, even though it's syncing with a different computer?

    It's not a good idea, because the complexity of such synchronization events. While ideally you should be able to attach your other devices to any workstation and synchronize at any time - if each workstation is, in fact, kept up-to-date through .Mac - in reality, such data exchanges are not reliable.
    You are best advised to avoid any action which complicates an already relatively complex, limited and - at times - unstable and unreliable - technology. The best approach is to pick one workstation as a sort of 'synchronization server' to which all other devices are attached, either through USB, Bluetooth or, in the case of .Mac, wireless or terrestrial ethernet.

  • How do I transfer my entire music collection to a new computer and sync my iphone with new mac without deleting existing music in iphone?

    Hi All,
    I will describe my current setup and the required setup below. Please help me with the steps to do this
    Current setup:
    OS: Windows 7
    Total Music collection: 80GB of mp3 , which is NOT added to itunes library (I use foobar)
    iTunes Music collection: around 500 songs, synced to my iphone (unchecked "manually manage" that meeans all these songs are in itunes library)
    Now the required setup: (Since I am planning to get a macbook pro)
    OS: Mac OS  (This means the music file path will be different)
    Total Music collection: 80GB which is to be added to itunes library
    iPhone Music: The same 500 songs as before.
    Is this possible? In Mac OS I want my entire 80GB to be added to itunes library, also keeping my existing iphone songs intact.
    Any ideas?

    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) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
    If you put the copied iTunes folder 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.)
    Longer answers if for any reason you do not think all library files are inside your iTunes folder (changed preferences settings at some point):

    2011 ilounge article: Transferring your iTunes library - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/  - An article with good background information (similar to the links above), particularly if you are not sure your media files are all grouped for quick answer above. Unfortunately under the single term "transferring library" it describes two very different moves; relocating just your media (not  really transferring your library and not recommended unless you really need this configuration), and relocating media+database (really your whole "library").  Make sure you understand the difference before electing to move only media.

    Transferring the library as above will connect your i-device to the same library on the new computer even though it is stored on different hardware. You should not see the "erase & sync" prompt, and syncing will preserve game scores and other data on the device.
    As for the 80GB of music in foobar, add that to the iTunes library at some stage by dragging those files to the Automatically Add To  iTunes folder.

  • I can not sync my iPhone with my Mac Book Pro

    Hi, I have an iPhone 4 and a MacBook Pro. I am unable to sync the phone to the mac book. when I plug it in and ask it to sync it asks if I really want to sync, and that I will be replacing everything on my phone with what is on my Mac. This is NOT what I want.
    I want to put everything on my phone on to the cloud (?) and onto my MacBook. I have important medschool voice memos that I CANNOT lose.
    I registered the phone to another laptop about a year ago if that is any help?
    really appreciate it... pulling my hair out!

    That may not be what you want, but it's what's going to happen if you sync it to your Mac.  You are trying to sync media to your phone from an iTunes library other than the one it is set up to sync with.
    Transfer the data from the computer you have been syncing with to the new one, then set up a new sync relationship.
