Sync with new mac and received 6xx conflict alert on calendar and notes

I would like to have my iphone sync with my new mbp instead of my imac.
I transferred the itunes library, mobilesync folder, itunes folder,addressbook and ical data from imac to macbook open.
When I opened the addressbook, ical, notes, everything looks fine and they are showing up to date details.
When I sync with my iphone, I received an alert from the sync regards to about 600 new item add onto my calendar and they are deleting 6xx item. most of them are either a few minutes different or a day different.
If the ical calendar is from the same backup file as iphone used to sync with, why will there be such a numbers of conflict?
In terms of note, when I tried to modify my notes either on iphone or mbp, instead of updating the existing file, it will generate a few file.
Is there any way to fix the issue? Or can I restore my address book and ical to a fresh status so I can just sync the iphone detail onto them to avoid the conflict?
Many thanks for all your help

Syncing doesn't touch your camera roll except to include the photos and videos in the backup created during the syncing process.  But if you want to be safe, without connecting your phone, go to iTunes>Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".  Now you can connect your phone to your new mac without syncing and import your camera roll photos and videos to iPhoto (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083).  This will not transfer non-camera roll photos; if you need to transfer these you might want to either stream them to your mac (if you're running OS X Lion) using Photo Stream (see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html) or use an app like PhotoSync to wirelessly send them to your mac.
As far as contacts, I'm not familiar with iDrive Lite, but if you want to transfer you contacts to Address Book on your new mac you might want to use the app My Contacts Backup.  This will back up your contacts as an attachment to an email.  Send the email to yourself, open it on your mac and double-click the attachment to import your contacts to Address Book.
Next, you'll need to import all your music into your new iTunes library from your external drive prior to syncing.  Music purchased from iTunes, along with apps and other purchased media can be transferred from your phone to your iTunes library by following the steps outlined in this guide: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.  Take special care to have at least one event in iCal prior to syncing, which will trigger a merge or replace prompt when you sync; when you see this choose merge.

  • Deleted songs on my iPod by sync with new Mac - ups! Can I sync with iPad to get all song back?

    deleted songs on my iPod when sync with new Mac - ups! However all songs are still on my iPad library. Can I sync with iPad to get all song back?

    You can use the transfer purchases feature to put the songs back into iTunes from the iPad - as long as the songs were purchased from iTunes.
    Connect the iPad, launch iTunes and then right click on the iPad name under devices and select Transfer Purchases. But ..... Before you do that - turn off auto sync first.
    Launch iTunes and the go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing Automatically. Check the box at the bottom that says that. Then click OK. Then you can connect the iPad to the new Mac to transfer the purchases.
    This will only work for music purchased from iTunes. If you have music ripped from CD's, you will need a third party app - like TouchCopy.
    You can also download the songs again in iTunes as long as you use the same Apple ID. But read this about downloading past purchases as there are some restrictions based on where you live.

  • Getting iPhone to sync with new mac (from old PC) and add device to iTunes

    I recently brought a macbook pro 8.1.  I was able to transfer my itunes library using the imatch, however I have not been able to add my iphone into my itunes in able to sync.  I still have to connect with my old PC in order to sync my music (that was imported by CD's).  I have searched through the support options from apple support, but there's only information on how to add a NEW device to the itunes library.  When I have tried sync'ing my phone with my new mac itunes, there's a message that pops up stating I cannot sync 1 device with 2 computer itunes libraries.  What I'm getting at...is there anyway I can move my device from my old PC itunes to my new mac itunes before my PC dies??  HELP!

    I believe we're having the same issue. I posted a question yesterday and I've gotten some helpful answers. I will stay posted to your thread as well to see if your issue is resolved. Sorry that I couldn't be of any help. :-)

  • IPod Touch won't sync with new Mac

    I just replaced my laptop with a new Mac, we transferred the music, and our library so that all our old playlists are present, and I went to sync my iPod (knowing the first time it would erase my music, videos, etc...), but instead I get an error message saying I don't have enough memory on my iPod.  I have gone through and check the "manually manage music and videos" and the bar across the bottom shows I should have enought space (content is less than 28 gigs), but I still get the same error message.  Is the new machine trying to load the "new" content over my existing content?

    I did the restore a second time and I'm still getting the same message.  For some reason, the computer is wanting to load the music library onto my iPod without erasing the existing music.  Is there some advanced setting I need to look at to fix this?

  • Synced iPhone w/ new MAC and not working

    I synced my iPhone with my new Mac about a week ago when I first bought the MacBook, I'm a first time Mac user.  I bought a song on iTunes today and wanted to transfer it onto my iPhone, but it's not letting me transfer, am I doing something wrong? Any help would be great, thanks!

    What do you mean "not letting me"
    What did you try?
    What happened?
    Error message?

  • Syncing with new mac, please advise

    Hi. I currently sync my iphone with a G5, which i'm now selling. What is the procedure for syncing with a brand new mac? What do i need to do to make the switch over?
    Obviously i don;t want to lose all my contacts, etc thats all i'm concerned about.
    Thank you

    Ideally, you should move your data from your old Mac to your new Mac directly. Since you're moving from a PPC-based Mac to an Intel-based Mac, I'd personally recommend against using Migration Assistant. Instead, you can move your files (including calendars, mail accounts, etc.) by following the detailed instructions in this User Tip:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=435350
    When you connect to the new Mac, your iTunes-managed media content will be replaced - that includes music, videos, ringtones, apps, and pictures. Items on the Info tab (contacts, calendars) will be synced as well - if the corresponding apps on the new Mac (iCal, Address Book) are completely empty, the data on the iPhone will be deleted. Thus, you're best bet is to have those data moved over as described above. Alternatively, if you create one new calendar entry and one new contact (make them up), you'll be prompted to choose to Replace or Merge the data - choose Merge and the contacts/events will be transferred from the iPhone to the new Mac.
    Hole this helps, and good luck!

  • Syncing with both MAC and Windows PC

    Is there an easy way to sync the IPhone with both a MAC and a PC. I got my business contacts in my office PC and all my music, videos, in my personal MAC? At first I got a problem trying to sync with my PC (Windows XP) and I decided to transfer all the info to the MAC (Tiger), but it is a little inconvenient since I got to update a lot of info every day in the MAC to sync with IPhone and have all my business contacts and calendar updated.
    Any help?

    This is too bad. i thought I had it working. i got my iphone, and synced it with all of the fun stuff on my Mac (photos, podcasts, audiobooks, video), and of course left the contact and calendar section alone when it was connected to the Mac. Then, when I went over to my work laptop (need my 900 contacts and updated calendar all the time), I unchecked everything but the relevant contacts, and Outlook calendars, and it synced fine!!! But...then I just went back to my Mac tonight to update some things, and although the Mac will recognize the iPhone through iPhoto to try to sync the camera pictures, it wil NOT show up under devices in iTunes now (on the Mac). This *****. Anybody have any luck?? I know there has got to be a huge amount of us out there, that need to merge the business and personal content we want/need on this device. I cant go dumping all of my massive amounts of media on my company owned laptop!!!!????

  • Entries on my I phone 4 in Calender are not pushed to I cloud so does not sync with my Mac and I pad. Reverse (from Mac to I pad and i phone works fine who can help me??

    Use Mac. I phone 4 and i Pad all latest software switched to i Cloud, works fine except entries in the Calender of the I Phone are not pushed to I Pad and Mac. reverse (from Mac to I phone and Ipad) it works ok. I pad entries in calender are pushed to Mac and IPhone Who can help me??

    On the iPhone open the Calendar app and on the top left conner tap the Calendar button and confirme that the calendars on your iPhone are under iCloud.
    If not that is the reason why they are not going.
    If  they are under iCloud try to toggle off and back on iCloud calendar options.

  • Ical To Do list does not sync with my iPhone4 and Notes too.

    1) I am surprised Why my iphone 4 does not sync ical to do list with my iphone 4's calendar.
    I want to write my to do list things on my iphone and macbook pro whichever is accessible at that point of time and later on they sync with each other.
    i was using a Nokia communicator and it used to sync with "ical" as if they were made for each other. i used to update the nokia or my macbook pro and they use to sync with each other PERFECTLY later on.
    I bought an iphone thinking it was an apple product and would sync "PERFECTLY" with my macbook pro.
    2) the notes i put up on my iphone also "DO NOT" show up on my macbook pro. So basically i have ended up buying a smartphone which is not so smart.
    what i want to do is write my notes on my macbook pro and my iphone whichever is accessible at that point of time and later on they sync with each other.

    ensure that your mail set up is checked for syncing note; your comment on the todo list is valid and i have been asking the same question for a while. ToDo also syncs on blackberry? I guess it shows that third party software is the kick that come corp's need to pick up their act.

  • Setting up and managing iPhoto with new Mac and external harddrive

    First time Mac user and I'm stressing about iPhoto!
    I have the new 13" Macbook Air.
    I have my old PC (no longer using) that has all of my old photos on it.
    Those photos are also on my Wireless Network Drive.
    Have not done anything YET in iPhoto because I want to set it up properly.....that's where I'm stressing.....
    Here is how I want it to work, which I fear is not possible or maybe I'm just not understanding the correct setup I need to do to meet my needs:
    1. I want all of the old PC pics to stay on the Network Drive only UNLESS I decide to BRING the specific ones into iPhoto down the road.
    2. I want new pics I take on my SLR to go to iPhoto (which they will) AND the Network Drive for back up (no problem here)
    3. Every now and then I will MOVE the photos OFF of my Mac completely and to the Network Drive to make sure I always have space on the Mac.
    I also have iCloud and Time Machine so maybe those could help me as well.
    4. This is my biggiest complaint.....when I open a photo in iPhoto and edit it, I WANT TO SEE THE ORIGINAL FILE in iPhoto ALWAYS.  After reading tons of message boards it sounds like yes, iPhoto does save the original BUT it is nearly impossible to find and it is labeled very poorly.  (I know there is a trick to view the original next to the edited one while you're in iPhoto, but that isn't what I mean).  I essentially want to see my edited photo and my original photo just like you would on a PC if you did 'save as new'.  I want the original in iPHOTO next to/near the edited one(s) not in a hidden/impossible to find/archived path. 
    If I'm understanding correctly from what I've read, based on what I want, I may need to use a 'reference library' versus a 'managed library'?
    I'm not crazy about doing that though because it seems there are risks because it isn't stored in the 'library package'?
    To make a long story short, I want my new pics on my Mac, old pics can stay on the network drive (unless I want to edit them or show someone), and I want to be able to easily access the ORIGINAL file.  I want everything to be safely backed up and want the option to move things to the network drive/time machine/cloud or w/e when space gets limited on Mac.
    Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. 

    New photos go to iPhoto, I organize, tag, create albums do whatever.  These are also getting backed up in the Cloud and Time Machine (I think?? I still have to research more about how those works....sorry, Mac Newbie)
    There is no iCloud backup of photos
    Time Machine is good - but it appears that it does not backup the iPhoto library if iPhoto is running so be careful there
    If I start to really run out of space, I can move them off Mac completely.
    To do that correctly you need an external disk formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) with an iPhoto library on it and use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  to move photos between your MBA iPhoto library and the iPhoto library on the external drive
    Regarding issue #4 about the original version, I read one of your posts which explained that the original version can be viewed by going to Home/Pictures/Photo Library Folder/Originals......so I could do that (as long as I don't mess with it). My only concern here is the naming convention that will use- I feel like it will be so hard for me to find the original one I want.
    That is not a supported way to access the originals and is dangerous - any change no matter how small can corrput yoru library and cause loss of data and possibly photos - the simple rule is never go into the iPhoto library - there is no reason to - if you wnat the original photo you select it in iPhoto and export as kind = original
    Maybe a program like Aperture may be better for me, but again, I'm open to suggestions since you're much more familiar with all of this than I am!
    Aperature is more expensive and has many more capabilities including working well with referenced libraries
    As to using iPhoto - no one here "encourages" anyone to use iPhoto - in fact for people who want to do things iPhoto does not do or ins not good at we often recommend using other programs - if you want to use it we can help use it correctly - we can not helop you use it incorrectly or make any changes in the way it works

    I have a new Windows 7 laptop and my older ipad2 the ipad has the library from my previous laptops Itunes library on it
    How do i sync my ipad for the 1st time with my nw laptop and no delete the library on it

    You would need to copy the iTunes Library from your old computer to your new one. Otherwise, see: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store. For anything you cannot redownload freely you will need a third-party utility to transfer from the iPad to the computer such as: Phone to PC.

  • IMessages in mountain lion not syncing with both mac and iPhone. Why?

    I either get someones imessage on my iphone or my mac, but not the same message on both. Anyone know why? I thought iMessage was supposed to "pick off where you left off... on all devices."

    I see now. OK, I do think I messed up the settings a bit. I have a @mac.com and a @me.com address with the same name. My Apple ID uses my @mac.com address, but I set up the Messages app on 10.8 to use my @me.com.
    I tried switching over to @me a while back because I wanted to reserve the Messages for close friends and family only. Now I see there is no way to turn off the "reached at" address for my main Apple ID @mac.com account. I'd prefer to use ONLY the @me (which is not my Apple ID), but Im guessing this is not possible.
