Syncing iPhone 4 to a new MacBook Pro

I just got a new MacBook Pro. My old MB all of a sudden stopped syncing to my phone months ago and now none of my contacts, apps, or anything in my iCal are even on my old MB anymore. (Long story short, my hard drive crashed last year so I put another hard drive in. Everything was syncing fine until a few months ago when it started saying my iPhone was synced with another computer.)
Is there a way to transfer all of my contacts/apps/calendars/etc onto my new Computer?
Oh, and I'm not transferring anything to my new computer from my old one so I'm starting new with this one..

If you use the Migration Assistant, all your files will be transferred to the proper place on the new Mac.

Syncing iPhone calendar to brand new MacBook Pro iCal.

How can I add my iphone calendar data to iCal on my new macbook? I feel like if I do it through iTunes, it will wipe my iphone calendar and I'll be left with nothing.

You need to do it through iTunes. Copy the iTunes folder from your Music folder of the old Mac to your new Mac. There is an entire forum area devoted to the iPhone here:

How can I sync my iPhone 4 with a new MacBook Pro without losing all my data and settings?

I used to sync my iPhone 4 with a PC running Windows XP until the hard drive died. Thankfully, I already had a backup of all my iTunes media (Songs, TV Shows, Movies, Podcasts, Apps, etc), so when I bought a new MacBook Pro, transferring my iTunes library was easy.
My problem now is that I want to sync my iPhone 4 with my new MacBook Pro without losing all the data and settings. I have already used iTunes to back it up and transfered my purchases onto the mac. I just need help to sync the iPhone with the Mac without losing app data, emails, contacts, settings.
Everytime I click on the tabs (to sync contacts, apps, music, et al), I get an error message that reads:
"Are you sure you want to sync apps? All existing apps and their data on the iPhone “Ryan's iPhone” will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library."
What do I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan

Not possible, the current version of iTunes only allows syncing via iCloud which the 3G does not support.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can only sync the iPhone with one Mac or PC, so your Mac is asking you to erase the device because you synced it with another Mac or PC. To avoid this, I recommend you to copy the "iTunes" folder of your old Mac or PC (in Music folder) to the Music folder of your Mac, so you'll have the same data on your Mac as the data you had on the PC.
To transfer contacts, notes, etc., I recommend iCloud > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

There are ways to do it for non iTunes purchases. Look for forum threads before posting questions, you may find your results faster. Remember, Google is your best friend.

Is there an easy way to sync an iPhone 5 to a new Macbook Pro Retina

Hi Guys,
Thanks in advance for helping me out, I think this question has been asked in various forms but I was hoping to be a bit more specific.
I've just got a new Macbook Pro Retina 13", which is awesome.
The first thing I want to do is sync up my iPhone 5, which im thinking is going to be a nightmare.
Im almost certain if I connect my iPhone ill be presented with the option to 'Erase and Sync'.
Basically, without transfering all my photos, music and apps to a hard-drive and then over onto this new MBP is there a way to sync up without effectively starting from scratch and spending hours with a big transfer?
Thanks again.

What do you want to sync? You can use it to just sync your music, movies, and tv shows if you want and don't want to have to erase your apps. You can do the same things just as quickly with iCloud and even more things such as contact syncing, calendar syncing, and more.

How do I delete songs & podcast from iPhone using iTunes on new MacBook Pro

I have recently bought a new MacBook Pro after years of using PC.
First thing I have to say is that I love it. I've had a couple of problems here-and-there but these have been teething issues which these discussion boards have mostly helped me resolve... I have been unable to resolve this one issue though which I was hoping that someone could help me with....
I have plugged my iPhone into my new Mac and let it appear in iTunes but when I attempt to delete old songs or podcasts from the iPhone it does not let me delete them... I've tried holding control and clicking on the items- hoping that delete would be an option, but it isn't. Also I've notice that delete is not one of my options in the edit tab at the top of iTunes.
I understand that I can delete individual podcasts and albums/songs through the iPhone itself by swiping right and selecting delete but when I do this for All individual episodes of a podcast then the main header for the "show" still remains...
Would love if someone could help me with this- need to be able to manage the songs and podcast on my iPhone.
Thankyou for your time.

"Ok- but what if I want to manually manage the songs and podcasts on my iPhone and somehow loose access to the computer which I used to put said songs and podcasts on the iPhone in the first place?"
The you would ned to use the backup copy of tht computer to put everything on the new computer.
" Is there a way in which I can manage/delete the content on the iPhone using my new computer without retoring it to factory settings and starting all over again?"
You do not have to restore it, but you cannot access the music at all from this other computer until you sync it, which will erase the content.
"And just to clarify: I don't have any problems with playing the content that remains on my iPhone, it's just the managing and deleting of this content."
I understand completely.
You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

IPhone not recognized on new MacBook Pro

Just got one of the new MacBook Pro laptops and so far my iPhone no longer shows up in iTunes. It used to launch iTunes automatically when I plugged it in and would sync. All the settings remain the same after migration, and I've checked by hand, but restarting phone, restarting iTunes... using the other USB... nothing seems to work. I cannot force a sync if my phone doesn't even show up! I have my iPhone backups listed from before migration but that doesn't help me at all when the device isn't recognized. Tips?
Thanks in advance!

i just got one of the new i5 macbook pro's - i immediately ran a software update to make sure i had all the latest drivers and os stuff - i have had no problem with it recognizing my iPhone - in fact it recognizes it about 5 times faster than my old windows machine

Syncing an iPhone4 into a new macbook pro

Hi, I've recently gotten a new macbook pro and tried to sync the stuffs that I got in my phone but failed. I tried to follow suggestions like ' transferring purchases from xc31's iPhone ( which is the name of my iPhone ) , but they said some of the purchased items couldn't be transferred to your iTunes because you're not authorised for them on this computer. There're suggestions to go to Preferences tab and reset warning, i tried going to the Devices tab under the Preference tab but it was just BLANK. I couldn't find any way to so-called 'reset warning' or whatsoever, could anybody help me with this cos I'm stucked for days. Thanks a million to anyone who could provide me an answer feasible

Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the Mac as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your Mac first.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
