Ok, I got my new Macbook, with 2 gigs of RAM. But now how the F*CK do I upload all the music from my iPhone to my new iTunes folder? I'm going crazy. Any help please! I love everyone here! Lol.
 
Re: Got my new Macbook, now music transfer?? Help!

Senuti has a new beta that I'm hearing can handle iPhone to Mac music transfers.

I love how I know this and have never used a mac...
If you had Linux, you wouldn't be having this issue!

Apple stuff is all compatible with all other Apple stuff, generally. Sometimes too compatible, as when a friend of mine comes to visit and his iPhone starts to interact with my Macbook. Baby Macbooks, anyone?? But I digress.

Try iSync. If you can't find it, go to the Finder, click Help > Mac Help and type in your question. Your new Macbook will be thrilled to help you.

Even my 70 year old Mom figured out how to get photos from her camera to her Macbook using Help.

have you not migrated your files from your old mac to the new one?

If you've not had a mac before, try transfering you iTunes Library (that's the folder where your music and info is kept) over wifi to the new mac. Then launch iTunes and let it rebuild the library on the mac.

What ever you do don't sync your iPhone just yet, until the library has been built and that you've authorised your mac with your iTunes account.

I second Andrew's advice: normally you sync from a computer to your iPhone, the iPod/Iphone is only the receiving end. Transfer your songs from the mac/pc to your new macbook first. If you have bought songs you can authorize the new macbook for the songs to play.

Tools like Senuti allow you to peek inside the iPod's (and now Iphone's I read, cool) song database when you attach the device as an external harddisk and transfer the songs back to your mac/pc, but this is not the official supported way of operation. Damn handy though if you want to share some stuff with friends and only have your iPod with you.

This problem is caused by Apple trying to prevent people using their ithings to copy music between computers. Sadly it also prevents perfectly legitimate backing up / copying between our own devices of our own purchased music. I have used drm dumpster to get DRM protected and purchased files from an ipod into itunes.

As stated above, the most important thing to never ever do is to try and sync a portable ianything with itunes if itunes has less in its library than the igadget. Itunes replaces all of the data in the Ithing with whatever it has, if it has a blank library then that is what you will end up with on your iwidget.
 
Re: Got my new Macbook, now music transfer?? Help!

1. Did you have mac that the Iphone was synced to?
2. Which iphone do you have...in other words is it a hacked gen 1 iphone?
3. Is it the Aluminum macbook or the white or black plastic macbook.

If you have your old mac then you can simlply plug the 2 macs together using a firewire cable or ethernet cable. Then in the Utilities folder double click the Migration assistant and all your files, music, apps and other stuff will come over to your new mac.
Or
plug iphone in and when it shows up in itunes ignor the set iphone dialogue and try to transfer purchases from ipod located under FILE
