Using iphone on my new mac after originally using with a pc
Hello, I recently purchased an IMac. I have had the Iphone since December and was using it with my old PC.
I have moved my Itunes Library to the mac, but when I plug in my Iphone to the mac it will not add songs. Is there something I have to do to get my iphone to work on my imac? How can I add songs to my iphone?
Thanks!
If you have any iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes Store, have you activated your Mac with your iTunes account?
Try to play a song with iTunes that was purchased from the iTunes Store, and you should be prompted to authorize.
Any error message provided when you try to transfer music from your Mac to your iPhone?

Cannot use Creative Cloud in new Mac after using Migration Assistant
I used Migration Assistant to set up my new Mac (new computer is a Retina MacBookPro; so was old computer). I could not open any of my CC apps. When I open Creative Cloud Desktop App it is completely blank (no tabs for Apps, Fonts, Files, etc. -- No means of installing or updating apps). I uninstalled Creative Cloud and reinstalled (several times) but got the same results. I have also deleted all the Application Folders for CC apps that cam ever with Migration Assistant.
Any ideas?
ThanksMac migration does not always work with Cloud programs
Uninstall... run the Cleaner... Restart your computer... Reinstall

Help! Syncing my iPhone on a new Mac after my old Mac died
My old Mac Pro died. It's at the Apple Store right now getting a quote for repair.
I have an iPhone 3GS with the new 4.01 OS. I'm syncing it with my Macbook Pro.
When I try to sync my apps, I get a notice that mny existing applications will be replaced with apps from this (MacbookPro's) iTunes library.
I want to sync my iPhone and have my existing iPhone apps download to the Macbook pro so that I will not need to re-download over 100 apps and re-organize them.
How can I do this? How can I make the Macbook pro my new primary computer for my iPhone without having to erase or redownload my apps?
Thanks
-----------SWell, the BEST way is to restore the new computer from the Time Machine backup of your old one. If you can't do this the FIRST thing you should do is go out and get a USB drive, connect it to the new MBP and wait for Time Machine to create a backup.
If you can't do that, make sure iTunes is the latest version, and is authorized to your iTunes store account. Then connect the iPhone but do not sync. Go to the iTunes File menu and choose "Transfer Purchases..." -
I need to synch my iphone, ipod touch and classic to a Mac that I have and 2 I am about to buy. I have legally paid for all my music. If I use migration on my new Macs and clone the original, can I use my iAppliances on all 3 Macs?
Yes.
You can authorize up to 5 computers to play itunes music ( pre-itunes plus). There is no limit on itunes plus ( all itunes music for the past several years) and imported music.
You can sync as many ipods/ipads/iphones as you like to each of your computers. -

I'm new to Mac. I have an iPhone and a Mac Mini. My original iTunes was on a Windows computer that crashed. So, all of my iTunes Music and Movies are gone. How do I get the movies and music from my iPhone to the new Mac Mini?
If you still have the crashed Win computer, you may be able to recover your music and movies from the hard drive. If you have a friend with a hard drive USB connection kit and a PC, they should be able to help. Otherwise, check locally for computer services that might do that for you (I think Best Buy Geek Squad may be able to help). If the drive itself is in good shape, it shouldn't be too expensive.

How do I sync my iphone to a new mac without loosing the original data
How do I sync my iphone to a new mac without loosing the app data?
You must first sync the iPhone with the old Mac as you normally do, then move the entire iTunes Library from the old Mac to the new one.
An iPhone can only be synced with one computer at a time. When you first sync the iPhone with the new Mac, you will "erase and sync". This will erase the entire phone first, then sync it with the content you moved from the old Mac.
This explains the procedure: iTunes: How to move your music from one computer to another -

You don't need to delete anything from your phone or you old computer.
Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer or backup to /Music/ on new computer.
If you cannot use the old computer or don't have a backup...
-> Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Then immediately make a backup of your new computer.
Get an external drive and plug it in and use -> Time Machine -
My old MacBook pro died, got a new Mac can I use my cs4 with my new computer?
MMy old MacBook pro died, got a new Mac, can I use my cs4 with my new computer? Do I need to buy a new license?
Using Time Machine, or any other such program, to transfer Adobe software from one machine to another works probably less than five percent of the time. Uninstall from your new machine. Run the cleaner tool (do a search for Cleaner Tool on this site if you don't know what it is). Then reinstall properly from original media or downloads.

Now I'm really upset..
I recently bought a new MBP, and upone connecting my iphone Itunes comes up saying "there are app on your iphone which are not present here blablabla, do you you want to transfer these app to itunes library? If you don't transfer they will be deleted from your iphone"
Guess what, you choose "yes, transfer", and STILL it deletes apps from my iphone, which I REGULARLY downloaded from the Apple store!! (please assume some bad language here).
Note that:
1)I use same account on both Itunes (old & new mac)and authorized new one for purchasing from Apple Store.
2) I don't use the old mac that much now, but still I cannot understand WHY I can't sync my iphone with both computers.
3) The f.. itunes deleted 47 apps out of 50, saying that I'm not authorized to play them (play them?) on the new mac. Why? WHY??
I could understand if I want to sync different iphones installing apps from one computer, but since nobody (supposely) plays iphone apps on itunes, why I cannot sync them on different computers??
AND, ABOVE ALL, WHY IT DELETES THEM FROM MY IPHONE WITHOUT EVEN ASKING??????????

You should have read the "blablabla" part of the warning message. To transfer apps on your iPhone to your new Mac, right-click your device on the iTunes sidebar and click "Transfer Purchases" before your first sync. Be sure to disable automatic syncing first.
This doesn't work for me. I read the "blablabla" part and it says: "if you choose not to transfer, those apps will be deleted".
What it DOES NOT say, is that if that mac is not the one authorized for syncing, those apps will be deleted anyway, as a matter of fact it does, and without even asking or telling anything. This is a totally unacceptable and non legal behaviour of itunes.
And still I have the problem I can't deauthorize the other mac. <Edited by Host>

Is it a new drive or do you already have data on it ? If it is a new one, you might just want to format it with the Disk Utility else try to check the partition with the disk utility, your partition could be damaged.

Hi I recently purchased a new mac computer and would like to sync the music off my iPhone to my new mac.However, my phone and my new mac have different apple Ids.The PC which my phone is synced and has the same apple ID but does not let me transfer the music. Home sharing is not working. How do I successfully transfer and sync the music off my ipone 4 to my mac book pro if they have different Apple IDs? Thanks!
What do you mean the PC won't let you transfer the music? Save your entire iTunes folder (this is assuming that you have all your music stored in your iTunes folder) to an external hard drive. Connect that hard drive to your Mac. Copy the iTunes folder to your computer. Hold down the option key while launching iTunes on your Mac. Select the library you just copied when it ask you to select which library you want to open.

bought a new macbook air because my old computer is formatted. I want to sync my iphone to my new mac, so I can save the data on my iphone without losing data. how can I do?
You need to copy everything form your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. it simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced. -
I'm an avid Mac enthusiast who works in a creative field. However, I simply cannot afford a new Mac after my old one's internal hard drive failed. Can anyone recommend an affordable Mac option? I don't want to consider a non-Apple product.
Macs with a FireWire port will also boot happily from an External drive. You don't even need to open the MacBook.
Some users buy a drive they would like to have as a future Internal drive, and also buy an external enclosure. They get the External set up the way they want it, then swap with the Internal drive.
