Or you could get the Apple Composite or Component AV cable. You would need a composite audio to 3.5 adapter though with that.

Can you provide more details? Is the phone showing up in iTunes? Is it syncing, just not your music?

 

it’s not even showing up when i plug it into the computer. phone is on IOS 6 and mac is up to date on snow leopard.

 

thinking of selling my mb pro how much should i ask?

2011 i5, 320gb, 13", oem charger / box / magic mouse
running mtn lion, loaded with adobe creative suite

 

Does the phone charge? Bad cord maybe?

 

it will charge off the computer. just can’t get it to show up on anything, not iphoto or itunes.

 

Found this on an Apple forum:

It's iPhoto 9.4
Go to itunes and select no sync of photos, then sync...worked great
Now Apple will have to fix it of course

Apple guys, what would be a good app for tethering my other devices to my iphone? I go TDY a lot and using my tablet is more convenient than breaking out my laptop. I know there are a few out there, but what have you had good experiences with? Thanks in advance.

 

Tethering is built in, just need an applicable data plan and you go into settings and turn it on. If you are talking about a jailbrake app then be careful. I believe pretty much every carrier out there monitors for tethering now and will warn you then start charging you for tethering if you don't have the proper data plan.

 

is there a free way to stream music from my computer to my iphone5 or ipad2? also, does anyone know of an audio cable that will work with otterbox case on it?

 

thanks.

sadly i’m stating to think think i’m going to have to update to lion. i tried to do a itunes update the other day and a software update. i got an error on both and they would not update. i have snow leopard. i know my friend that had just leopard, he had to update because his stopped doing software updates.

Just bought a mac book pro. How do I transfer all my bookmarks from firefox on my laptop to the browser on my mac book?

 

this is a safe thing? seems pretty good

 

You should be able to just export them to a file on the old laptop, transfer to new laptop (via USB drive or email it to yourself), then import on the new macbook pro.

 

my ipad is synced with one itunes on one laptop. i want to sync it with this other one. is there a way to do this without resetting ipad?

 

You won't have to do a full wipe, settings and such will be retained, but you will have to do a full sync with the new machine. I.E. you can't have stuff synced from two different computers.

 

Download the FF extension Xmarks on your old laptop and the Mac. Sync the bookmarks on your old one to Xmarks and then export them to your new Mac using Xmarks... done!

 

can i "unsync" from one to another. or backup some how so all can be replaced?

 

Well everything that is synced is stuff that exists on that computer so technically it's already backed up. You can also do a full backup of the device and restore to that later if you wish.

Looking at either a Ruku2-XS or a Apple TV ... FWIW, we have all Apple laptops and an Apple airport extreme wireless modem.

Which would you guys get (Ruku2 XS or Apple) and why ... thanks ...

PS ... Will Apple TV stream TV programs from TV (same programing that is on regular TV) to Apple laptops or an iPad ??
