Sync to new MacBook, Calendar now empty??

Was helping a friend set up her new MacBook with her iPhone 3G... she was previously using an HP notebook with Outlook 2007 syncing contacts, mail and calendar. Connected to new MacBook, selected to Merge all sections (contacts, calendar, etc.).
Contacts are all there and combined properly, but calendar is now blank on both.
Original machine is not available anymore; it was backed up to a folder on the MacBook, but the guys who did it apparently missed the critical outlook.pst file and so the original calendar is now gone as well.
Is there any hope???

Same thing happened to me. I sync my iphone 3Gs to my new macbook and the calendars on my iphone is gone. It was successfully sync my contacts to the macbook but delete everything on my calendar. Please help! How can I restore the calendar entries? It has all my appointments there.

  • I am trying to sync my new MacBook Air iCal with my iMac calendar.  I can get it to sync if my iMac is set to MobileMe calendar, but I cannot get rid of iCal which keeps coming up with an error message.

    I am trying to sync my new MacBook Air iCal with my iMac calendar.  It will synce with MobileMe calendar on the iMac, but I can't get rid of iCal on the iMac and this one keeps coming up with an error message. 

    About the only thing you can try is using the Online Internet Recovery system to reinstall Lion on your Mac over the top of the current install. that will reset all system files and should not touch your personal files or the apps you have installed.
    Or iof you have a recent Time Machine backup use that to restore your Mac to that point in time.

  • Why I am buying a new MacBook Pro now, but, first, any major issues?

    With the delay of Ivy Bridge, and with my personal view that the next generation of MacBook Pro notebooks will be dropping FireWire 800 to service a better design, I have decided to purchase a new MacBook Pro now.
    I just cannot imagine the new notebooks having a FireWire or Ethernet port, as they add too much thickness.
    While I keep MacBook Pros for up to 4-years, I think this new purchase will have to be a transition computer, as the next model will probably be too irresitable. Having the option of then moving my data via Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt (Tarket Disk Mode) is very appealing too.
    So, any issues with the current line?
    Specifically, has anyone had a screen flicker issue or anything else major?
    Would anyone dare say Thunderbolt is unreliable?
    I really appreciate any thoughts on this - Thank you!

    I am so sorry, but you are dead wrong.
    First, people get their problems resolved here quickly. A majority of the issues here are "Newbie" issues.
    I have been a Mac user since 2007, and I have been on these forums since that time too. I have never once seen a horror story like the ones found on the Dell, Lenovo, and HP support forums that pop up on an hourly basis.
    Read those forums, and you will get tears in your eyes.
    Anytime I have called Apple or visited an Apple Store, they have treated me like a God.
    Apple hardware is bullet proof made of the best materials on the planet. A MacBook Pro is far stronger and more durable than any ThinkPad, Dell Precision, or HP Elitebook.
    Just open up a MacBook Pro to look at the insides as compared to the disaster zones of the aforementioned PCs.
    Oh.... and no bloody stickers on MY notebook.
    Everything just works.
    Little things come up, but they are always solved.
    Now, add programs like Joint Venture, and heaven is a place on earth.
    No PC company comes close to treating their customers the way Apple has treated me since 07.
    Apple has earned my business for life.
    Right now, I can schedule a call with Apple - What PC company does that?
    Apple = Unequaled products, service, and support. No PC company can come close to any of those three traits.
    PS
    And none of those PC forums have people like Kappy, Eww, Bee, Niel, iVmichael, sig, Etresoft, (yourself), and all the other fine members of this community that make it such a pleasure...

  • I synced my new macbook pro to my old iMac

    I synced my new macbook pro to my old iMac(which is old, and doesn't have a lot of memory left) and thus I keep getting the error message on my (new) macbook that the startup disk is almost full, even though I haven't anything on it. so should I restore it? there's nothing i need to save anyway. the macbook is OSX 10.8.

    I have no idea what Synced my Macbook to my old iMac means.
    Does it mean you copied the contents of the iMac hard drive to the Macbook Pro? You then say you have nothing on your hard drive yet you are getting messages that the startup disk is full.  Something is not making sense here.
    You need to provide much more information before anyone else can help you.

  • Iphone unable to Sync to New Macbook

    My iphone does not sync with my itunes library on my newly purchased Macbook. I previously had my iphone working with my itunes on a PC. I backed up itunes and transferred my entire library to my new Macbook, but it does not allow me to transfer music into my iphone. I'm interesting in having my iphone work with my Macbook as it will now be the primary library. In addition, I need to update my iphone software to the new 2.2 version since it is still on version 1.1.4, but I'm worried that I will lose all of my contacts, bookmarks, and photos. What should i do? Do I need to re-sync and delete my iphone to the new Macbook? If so, will my information other than my music be deleted as well? Any help would be much appreciated...thanks.

    Have you authorized your new MacBook with your iTunes account with iTunes?
    Any error message provided when having sync music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your MB?
    In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with a single computer only. Even after transferring your entire iTunes library from your PC to your MB, your iPhone will be deleted of all iTunes content first when first syncing iTunes content with your MB.
    All photos transferred from your PC to your iPhone need to be transferred from your PC to your MB just as your iTunes library was transferred from your PC to your MB.
    Photos captured by your iPhone should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. With a MB, you can use iPhoto or the Image Capture application. I recommend using iPhoto for the import of photos from a digital camera including from your iPhone.
    In regards to contact info, calendar events, and bookmarks, an iPhone is designed to be synced with supported applications on your computer for this data. With a Mac, this can be with the Address Book application for contact info, with iCal for calendar events, and with Safari for bookmarks.
    Before syncing contact info and calendar events with the Address Book and iCal, enter one contact in the Address Book and one calendar event in iCal on your Mac. Make these up if needed which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt for this data when first syncing contact info and calendar events with these applications on your MB selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences, which you want to select.

  • IPod Classic 5th generation will not sync with new MacBook

    I have had a 5th generation iPod classic that I have been super happy with.  I have used it with several PC laptops.  Because I have gone through so many PC's, I decdied this year to get a new MacBook Pro.  Since my old PC was dying it took forever to get all my music and videos transferred to my new MacBook. Anyhow, I have had no luck syncing my iPod with my new MacBook.  I have read several other posts (but mostly older like 2007-2010) that others have had similar problems.  Here is a quick list of what I have done/what has happened:
    Initially, I would get one of two messages:
    'The ipod '(My Name) ipod' cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-124)'
    - 'The ipod '(My Name) ipod' cannot be synced. The required folder cannot be found.'
    Two times it told me I needed to use a USB 2.0 port (but I have a new MacBook and was using the newer 3.0 port).  I haven't seen that message since.
    It actually "transferred" over 4500 of my 7000 items (I have a ton of music that I use for my job) and then just stopped. When it was disconnected only about 200 songs were actually on my iPod.
    I've restored it several times.
    Seems to "freeze" on random songs or videos and will not continue to sync, even theough the iPod says it's syncing.  Then iTunes freezes.  I have to "force quit." Sometimes (but not all the time) if I try to re-open iTunes, I get a message that says iTunes is locked.
    I thought maybe my cable was bad (it was the original that came with the iPod).  I actually spent $20 and got a new one.  No luck. 
    With the new cord iTunes now gets frozen on the 3rd or 4th song it is trying to transfer. Once I disconnect the iPod (I have to disconnect with ejecting because iTunes is frozen and it also freezes up Finder to eject) my iPod makes an awful click sound and I have to start it by toggling and then holding the play/pause button.
    I have tried enabling disk, manually controlling music, etc. but nothing helps.
    I am sick about it because I rely on my iPod a lot for my job-- and I can't afford a new one since I just bought a MacBook.  I think it has something to do with the fact that I got this new MacBook.  My old PC was getting so sensitive that I didn't download the latest version of iTunes (but I still had the second latest version).
    Any help is appreciated.

    Although you used the new USB 3.0 port, the actual connection speed is still USB2.0, as the iPod Dock connector, does not have the 10 times faster USB3.0 signal pins, the connection speed is still 480Mbits/s
    I assumed that you have tried the other USB 2.0 port to no success..
    Can you do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
    Have a nice day!

  • Ipod classic sync to new macbook pro

    Hi,
    I bought a new ipod classic and did use it on my old PC but now have a new macbook pro.  What, if anything, should I do when I attach my new ipod to the new computer??
    Thanks

    Doris,
    Your iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time.  If you try to sync it to a new computer/iTunes library the process will erase what is currently on the iPod and replace it with the content that is now in your new iTunes library.  If possible, copy your entire iTunes library from your PC to your Mac first.  Here are a few ways to do it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    One way to do it is to use your iPod Classic as an external hard drive and copy it that way.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329
    Otherwise, you'll need to use one of the methods described in this Apple support document to copy content from your iPod back to your Mac.

  • Syncing to new MacBook Pro after sync/backup to Dell Windows XP?

    Hi,
    Back in November I bought an iTouch 4G 32GB. Love it. Awesome device. But at the time all my Macs ran OS X 10.4 and I wanted to back up the data and apps on my iTouch so I used an old Dell to do that. The version of iTunes I needed to do that did not run on OS X 10.4....but did run on XP, humm?
    Anyway, last week I bought a new 17" MacBook Pro and now I want to use that as the primary computer I use with my iTouch. But I can't see how to do that without wiping my iTouch clean!!!
    I can reload my iTune music collection, but I don't want to lose all my apps and data files I now have on my iTouch! How do I copy/backup/sync the apps FROM my iTouch TO iTunes on my new MacBook Pro with losing everything???
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Well, the apps copied from the iTouch to the MacBook Pro. BUT….
    1. Both sides (MacBook & iTouch) of the apps window in iTunes is "transparent" and nothing can be selected on either side. It looks like I now have to "sync" the two to copy the apps back to the iTouch (or to make sure they are there and the two sides match)? This scares the heck out of me, because it says "Are you are sure you want to sync all apps? All existing apps and their data on the iPod "Jeffs iPod" will be replaced with the apps from this iTunes library"…….which I think is Ok to do now, but it still makes me nervous, not doing this everyday…
    2. I do see if I click "Apps" under Library in iTunes I can select/manage the apps….but it says there are only 167. My iTouch says I have 218 apps (and 17 videos, and 61 photos, 1834 songs). Why the difference in the number of apps?? And will they be organized the same way I have them now on my iTouch? I think so, but…
    (…."Hence the information about redownloading apps." ….I am trying to avoid re-downloading (and re-organizing) a bunch of my apps, had to do some of this when I updated to iOS 4.3 and for some reason iTunes on the Dell did not copy all the apps to the Dell before updating the iOS. and then telling me there was a problem and the only way to use my iTouch again was to Restore it!! That included about 3 hours to to reload my music BTW)
    3. I never used iPhoto, but I now have a bunch of pictures and videos on my iTouch (including a bunch from the Toronto Supercross I attended Saturday) that I don't want to lose! The LAST thing I want to do to my iTouch photos is sync them right now! I can't even see how to copy the pics in my iTouch to my MacBook! So what so I do there?
    Is there a way to copy the pictures and videos on the iTouch to the MacBook before trying to do a sync, a risk wiping them out? At least I'd have copies of them if the pics and vids got wiped on the iTouch.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

  • How to sync on new MacBook Air with 'dead' Windows notebook?

    Hi dear all,
    I’m in need of some good advice and assistance on the following.
    Basically I just switched over to a MacBook Air from an IBM Thinkpad as it went ‘dead’.
    My iPad and iPhone are sync via iTunes on the Thinkpad. Now I have a challenge, I understand if I just sync with iTunes on my new MacBook Air, it may just wipe out everything on my iPad and iPhone.
    May I know are there any ways I can keep everything in my current iPad and iPhone and still able to create and sync with iTunes on my new MacBook Air e.g. in future still can add files, perform sync etc. I don’t wish to lose all the current files and contents in my iPad and iPhone.
    Thanks.

    Hi ..
    As long as you are using the same Apple ID used on iTunes on the PC, you won't lose any content.
    You will need to authorize the new MB Air.
    Launch iTunes. From the iTunes menu bar click Store > Authorize this Computer

  • Purchased music not syncing from new macbook

    So I had a powerbook g4, and recently purchased a new macbook, and firewired my PB to the macbook, and all data, apps, etc came off without a hitch. What I did notice however, is that all the music in my itunes that is purchased will no longer sync to my ipod classic. I've updated the ipod and itunes software. I can listen to and play the purchased songs on my macbook, but won't sync to ipod.
    If I hook the ipod up to powerbook, the songs load right away, but I want to use my new macbook for managing all my music.
    I've repaired permissions on my macbook 2x, but nothing works.
