Transferring Contacts from iPhone 3g to a new Macbook Pro...need help:-)

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

    How do I back up the calendar and contacts from my iPhone5 to my new macbook pro(10.8.3)? I have backed up the phone, but it does not transfer the calendar or the contacts. If I check them in the sync area and then back up the phone again will they transfer or be erased? I am a bit gun shy since my previous macbook pro committed suicide and I lost a ton of info there.

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer.

  • HT3224 I am new to Mac and started transferring data from my PC to my new Macbook Pro.  Connection was lost once I started and now my Pro is stuck on the 'Transferring Information' screen.  How do I get out of this screen to attempt the connection again?

    II am new to Mac and was trying to transfer data from my PC to my new Macbook Pro.  The connection was lost however and now my Pro is stuck on the 'Transferring you nformation' screen.  How do I get out of this screen so I can attempt the connection again?  Is it safe to force shut down of my Mac and will it still prompt me through all the setup process again?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If your Mac and PC are connected by Ethernet, unplug and plug that cable again. If not, you have to turn off the MacBook by holding the Power button.
    In the next startup, try to transfer your files again. It's important not to interrupt the transfer process, because in most cases, you will stop it and you won't be able to resume it

  • 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.

  • Transferring data from 750GB backup drive to new MacBook Pro with 256 Gb PCI-e flash storage?

    Yesterday my late-2008 aluminium unibody MacBook died - absolutely and definitively.  I've tried SMC reset multiple times to no avail.  However, it served me well for almost six years and it's now time to move on.  I've decided to buy a 13 inch MacBook Pro Retina with 256Gb PCI-e flash storage.  Obviously, it will come with Mavericks installed as the operating system.
    When it died, my MacBook was running OS X 10.8.5, the original hard drive had been replaced with a Western Digital 750GB, 7200 rpm drive of which I believe about 350GB was used. I keep two x 1Tb Lacie Rugged backup drives, each of which has both Time Machine and SuperDuper Bootable Clone backups.
    My questions are these -
    1.     How should I proceed to transfer my data from my external backup drives to my new MacBook Pro Retina, given the difference in storage capacity of my existing backup drives and my new MacBook Pro?
    2.     I have over 32,000 photos in my iPhoto Library which, obviously, consume a big slab of disk space.  I'm not sure how I go about 'quarantining' the iPhoto Library so that it doesn't use all the flash drive storage.
    3.      One of the Lacie Rugged's has a 'triple interface' - i.e. USB 2, Firewire 400 and Firewire 800.  The other has a USB 2 and 2 x Firewire 800 (IIRC).    The MacBook Pro Retina has two USB 3 ports and two Thunderbolt 2 ports. I want to continue to use the Lacies as my backup drives.  Am I better off to use the USB  ports or should I invest in a Thunderbolt to USB cable?  Does it make any real difference in terms of backing up (which, in my case, doesn't have to be all that speedy).
    4.     What else should I be thinking about? I know I'm bound to have overlooked the most obvious problems but can't think what they may be ...
    Cheers
    Tricia

    USB3 is backwards compatible with USB2, so you can use the old USB cables.  For faster data transfer rates, Firewire 800 would be available using this adapter:

    Firewire 800 is about twice as fast as USB2, theoretically.
    Ciao.

  • Transferring files from my iBook to my new MacBook Pro

    So I treated (an understatement) myself to a new MacBook Pro a few days ago after having a few difficulties with my beloved iBook G4. After I damaged the iBook's original power adapter, I managed to buy a dodgy one on eBay, which packed up and left me running on battery power.
    I'm expecting my MacBook Pro to arrive any day now and I know that during the setup procedure (of OS 10.3, at least), you're given the option to transfer all your documents across from your previous Mac to a new one via Firewire. Brilliant idea, but my iBook's only got 15 minutes of power left and I have no way to charge it back up for the moment, so I somehow doubt it would hold out for the entirety of the procedure.
    Basically, is there a way to launch the file-transfer wizard once Leopard is up and running? I'm paying particular attention to the transfer of all my E-mails from Mail and events from iCal.
    On a similar topic, is there any way to sync iCal between the two Macs using iSync?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Kappy has written a helpful guide for PPC to Intel transition, which you can read in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6630396&#6630396
    You will still need to use firewire target disk mode, but not the complete migration assistant process (which can be a problem going from PPC to Intel anyway!). Scroll down to step #4, which will tell you exactly which files you really need to transfer over for Mail and iCal.
    Hope this helps...

  • Transfering Contacts from Windows XP (Outlook 2007) to MacBook Pro

  • Transferring playlists from old computer (G4) to new (macbook pro)

    I have a G4 Ibook running OS 10.3.9 and itunes 4 (yes its from Paleozoic era)
    I need to import the playlists on that computer (I have 25 playlists and 4500 songs) into my macbook pro.
    After exporting the playlists they will NOT import into the macbook pro's Itunes (running 10.5.8 Itunes 9) This was tried at the genius bar and I was told that there was nothing they could do.
    I had been advised to download the latest version of itunes that could be used on my G4 but when I searched online all version of that Itunes 7.0.2 were unavailable for a mac (although you can get them for windows)
    Anyone know of any workarounds or a way to get a hold of Itunes 7.0.2.
    To redo all of the playlists manually will take me days.

  • Transferring programs from my imac to my new macbook pro

    I just bought a 15" macbook pro and wanted to transfer everyting from my older imac. I bought the fire wire cable but for some reason I am having a hard time getting this to work. Any ideas???? Will i be able to transfer my itunes library to my ne macbook pro? Please help.

    There is something call disk mode. If you computer A is in disk mode then when connected to your computer B, computer B will see computer A as an external hard drive. To do this for computer A go to System Prederence>Start up disk. There is an option for you to restart your computer in disk mode.

  • HT4796 recently purchaced a macbook pro and cannot transfer music,contacts,notes etc. from my iphone 4 onto my new macbook pro!! please help

    Im a ex windows vista user, who evently became fed up and converted to a macbook pro. i just purchesed the macbook pro yesterday and have been trying to transfer all my music, contacts, notes, apps, etc. from my iphone 4 onto my new macbook pro. nothing seem to be working without it trying to erase all my info off of my iphone 4. I didnt think this would be a issue where they are both apple devices, but im now starting to regret the decision to purchace this macbook pro. please help me so i dont loose all my info trying to sync both devices. thanks for you help and advice

    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/
