  • Number of address book contacts on MacBook Air using iCloud is one less than my other iDevices using iCloud.  Is this a known bug?

    Number of address book contacts on MacBook Air using iCloud is one less than my other iDevices using iCloud.  Is this a known bug?  I've checked for duplicates on my iDevices and I can't find any.  Additionally, I have wiped all the data from the Application Support folder of the address book and re-connected to iCloud, but it always shows 308 contacts instead of 309 found on iCloud and the rest of my devices.  Any ideas?

  • Transfer iphone settings to new Macbook Air

    I would like to transfer my iphone macbook pro settings to my new macbook air. What's the best/safest way to do it?

    You need to transfer your iTunes library from your MBP to your MacBook Air. Copy the iTunes named folder in your Music folder on your MBP and with iTunes quit on the Air, place the iTunes folder in your Music folder. You will also need to authorize your Air with your iTunes account with iTunes.
    Before syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal on the Air, enter one contact in the Address Book and one calendar event in iCal on the Air. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
    If you use iPhoto for importing photos from a digital camera and for photo storage and management on your MBP, you can transfer your iPhoto library from your MBP to your Air. On your MBP, go to Home > Pictures. Copy the iPhoto Library and transfer it to your Air.

  • How to transfer address book to new iPhone 4 (which has micro-SIM)?

    Since I will be unable to put the SIM card from my Blackberry Pearl 8100 into the micro-SIM slot of the iPhone 4, how can I get my contacts into the new iPhone 4? The B'berry just has accumulated contact info SIM transferred from previous Razor, not address book or calendar or anything from my iMac's now Entourage 2008 program.
    My iMac's address book has 350 entries collected over the past 20 years. I sure do not want all that significant amount of old, historical info to be on my phone, so a direct sync would bring a ton of crap to the iPhone (don't want that).
    Is there a way to:
    1) mark some (read most) contacts NOT to transfer in a sync?
    2) or any (relatively) easy way separate current 'phone related data' from the rest of the data which is more related to email and physical addresses info that I (think I) have no use for on the phone. It seems like my iPhone address book would be a confusing mess if all data from my iMac were transferred over.
    Any ideas on this are appreciated.
    I have been reading of the huge frustration on iPhone pre-order 'trying' today, so I have not attempted yet. I need to decide if my address book transfer would be best done at an Apple Store or if I should have it shipped to my home for me to deal with the data transfer. Hmmmn.

    Sorry about my sentence structure. If I recall right I was responding late at night.
    With that said, my suggestion is to yes create an gMail account (if you don't already have one).
    Find a way to export out your current contacts to a .CSV file.
    Google's gMail address book has an option to Import from a .CSV file (maybe some other formats too).
    Once imported, verify everything looks good and edit as needed.
    When you get your iPhone there is an option to have the iPhone get and sync it's address book with Google.
    Once setup, it allows you to edit contacts via a computer (browse to gMail, edit contacts) and the iPhone will automatically get the changes. Also any changes you make on the iPhone will automatically show up in Google's gMail contacts. Thus no need to ever plug phone in to sync contacts. You only need to plug in to sync music and other data.
    I find this process far better than having to plug in to ensure my contacts get backed up.
    You can read more about it here on Google's site:

  • Cant transfer address book to new torch 9810

    I have a torch 9800 that is linked to the blackberry enterprise server. I have backed it up many times through the BB desktop software on my imac. I recently got a new torch 9810 linked to an enterprise server as well. I switched devices using the BB desktop software and everything except my address book (contacts) trasferred over. When I try to transfer over the address book, it is dimmed out and reads "dimmed entries are read-only and cannot be restored. Does anyone know how to get around this?

  • How to transfer Address Book to new computer?

    There is a knowledge base article on how to transfer the catalog to a new computer, but the procedure does not transfer the address Book.
    Can somebody tell me where is the contacts file located and how to transfer it?
    Thanks

    Assuming youre using PSE 6 on both computers, you can copy the file contacts.xml from the old to the new computer. See this tech note for the location:

  • How do i transfer nano playlist to new macbook air

    old nano, new macbook and playlist/music wont sync

    If both versions of iPhoto will be the same, this is the easiest way as sig has said. There is also an export feature. I use the export feature to save separate copies of my library as regular files (not within the iPhoto library).
    You could also export, then save to a folder (using events as sub-folders). Then drop those into your new iPhoto library and it would put them back in their proper place. However, you could lose some META data that way, but in my experience I've not lost anything significant, really only the key photo has to be set again. I had a very out of control iPhoto library once, and this saved me a bunch of space.
    Also, there is an app JPEGmini which I used to save a bunch of GBs of data. I exported, ran them through this app, which can reduce file size by as much as 40-50% while still retaining image quality. I had to try it to believe it, but it was amazing. Then I put them back in iPhoto and now my library is fast.
    But simply moving the library will work. Just make sure both versions of iPhoto are the same, then you don't have to upgrade the library where things can happen.

  • HT1329 Transfer Music to new MacBook Air

    I tried using my ipod to as an external hardrive to transfer music into my new macbook Air. But the MacBook Air doesnt allow you to access the files stored on my iPod. So this method does not work. Any other ways to get music transfered off my old 10.4.11 macbook?
    (airbook only has thunderbolt. My old macbook 10.4.11 only has firewire 400)
    thanks in advance for the help

  • How can i back up my NOOK Books to my MacBook Air, and then transfer to a second iPad??

    how can i back up my NOOK books to my macbook air?  when i sync, all that comes over is purchases from Apple.

    File > Transfer Purchases will only copy purchases from Apple (though it does appear to copy PDFs from iBooks as well). Depending on whether the second iPad is new or not, you could try backing up the first iPad and restoring that backup to the second iPad and see if that copies the books onto it. Otherwise I think that you should be able to re-download the books on the second iPad

  • How do I transfer my pdf files from my ipad ibooks to my new macbook air?

    Is there anyone who might help me to transfer my pdf saved in my ipad 3 to my new macbook air? Thank you.

    It should transfer them all, I don't have as many as that on my devices but it's always copied them all.
    Where are you seeing the 103 e.g. if the iBooks app on Mavericks then are you looking at the List or All Books view or view Collections ?
    You could try disconnecting it and rebooting both your Mac and iPad and then retry it and see if they all then copy over.

    thanks but exactly how do I do this.  I tried setting the new macair up using migration assistant but for some reason not everything has come through.  I bought a thunderbolt cable to improve the transfer rate.
    Now my question is how do I transfer the iTunes folder.  I have authorised the new macair for iTunes and am within the 5 computer limit.

  • How to transfer an iTunes library from an iPhone to a new Macbook Air

    I just received a new macbook air and I would like to transfer the music from my iPhone to my new laptop. My old laptop that contained my itunes library is dead so I don't know how to get the music from my iPhone onto my new computer.

    Is the music you want on your new Mac all purchased music via iTunes?
    If so, then you can log into the iTunes Store on your Mac, and then on the right side, click on Purchased under Quick Links. Then click on All Songs, and Not on This Computer. You will see all of your purchased iTunes music listed with a little cloud next to each song. You can download songs individually, or go to the bottom and click on Download All.
