How to set up new iPhone without deleting its data?

I had my first iPhone synched with my Macbook, then I bought a second iPhone, a 3GS, and I still haven’t synchronized it with my Macbook. In fact, I’m not sure I set this 3GS up with any computer at all: I don’t remember setting up this new 3GS with any computer (is there any way I can doublecheck this from the iPhone itself?).

I have been…

How can I wirelessly transfer photos from my iPhone to my computer without using Photostream?

Sometimes I take a quick photo with my iPhone’s camera and I need to get it onto my iMac. I’d love to do this wirelessly (like syncing and everything else).

I’m aware that iCloud’s Photostream should allow me to do this, but I don’t have a new enough version of iPhoto to access it. I really never use…

How do I sync Outlook 2011 and Google Calendar?

I am using Outlook 2011 for Mac (the office uses Exchange) and have some Google Calendars I am using for home. How do I get 2-way sync working between Outlook and Google? I could do this with iCal but its Exchange support is sorely lacking and therefore not an option.

iPhone contacts aren’t syncing to iCloud

Contacts on my iPhone 4 are not syncing to iCloud even though it is set as on. It is a new phone, and the contacts synced when I first set up iCloud, but not since. I have tried “backup now” and new notes appeared, but no new contacts.

How to synchronize iPhone with new Mac without losing data?

I’ve upgraded my workplace with a new Macbook, but I’ve run into several problems. One of these problems is iPhone synchronization.

Previously, I synchronized my iPhone with a PC notebook. Now I want to sync it with my new Mac, but I don’t want to lose all my app data or re-upload all the music, videos, etc.

How can I get my iPhone to sync with a new computer without being erased?

For some reason, Apple has imposed a most absurd restriction where the only way to get an iPhone (or other iDevice) to sync with a different computer is by erasing it first. I haven’t verified first-hand that this process actually erases the entire iPhone, because, naturally, I’m too afraid to try it.

So I spent a long…

How can I sync Reminders with Google Tasks?

I was looking for a way to sync my reminders from Google Calendar with the reminders app in iOS 5.

I have Google Sync set up, and on my “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” settings page, it says “Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders” are being synced with Google Sync, but reminders created on the gmail tasks (or google calendar tasks) do not show up on the…

Can we load video onto iPad without iTunes?

We have a shared iPad at work which is used for trade shows etc.

It is a pain to only be able to copy content to this from one PC, i.e. one nominated shared PC with iTunes on it. We have Windows XP on the PC currently.

Is there a decent way of plugging an iPad into an arbitrary PC and loading content on to it, while not breaking iTunes sync?

I’ve tried…
