Can't sync without using wifi?

Idk if the option is gone with the new update, but syncing my phone automatically uses wifi to do so. It is slower than syncing through the usb cable so I dont want to use that method. How do I sync the old way? I unchecked the box that says "sync with this phone over wifi".

I try to wifi sync files through iTunes into an app in my iPhone it fails all the time. While the wifi sync (backup to iTunes) is extremly slow compared to cable sync. Wonder if it is my wifi router's settings? Any ideas anyone?

  • Syncing without using iCloud

    Ok this may be a dumb question but since I got the 5 and having issues with it skipping to a song instead of playing the one I want. When I try and create a ACC version of the song to test it I get the message saying I can access my music over the cloud. Can I sync without the cloud? if so how. I am not connected to the wifi or anything if that matters.

    Hello LR700,
    It sounds like you are looking to sync data with iTunes. The latest version of iTunes utilizes iCloud for syncing calendar information:

    If you can't perform an iCloud backup (which requires wifi), back up to your computer with iTunes.  Connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.
    To troubleshoot your wifi, try unplugging your wireless router for 15 seconds, the plug it back in.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Reset Network Settings (note: this erases passwords for previously joined networks).  Then rejoin your wifi and see if it works properly now.

  • Can  not send mail using wifi at a motel .I can receive mail fine

    Hi there tamarafromdarien,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps for iCloud Mail in the article below helpful.
    iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Mail
    If you can't send mail in OS X Mail
    If you receive this alert or a similar alert when sending a message from your iCloud email address in OS X Mail:
    “This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered. The reason for the failure is: An error occurred while delivering this message via the smtp server: server name.”
    In OS X Mail, choose Preferences from the Mail menu.
    Click Accounts in the Preferences window.
    Select your iCloud account from the list of accounts.
    Click the Account Information tab.
    Choose your iCloud account from the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) pop-up menu. Example: “Derrick Parker (iCloud)”.
    Note: The Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) menu also includes an Edit SMTP Server List command. If you choose this command, be aware that the iCloud SMTP server won't be among the servers that can be edited. This is normal.
    If you're attaching a large file
    Message attachments can't exceed the maximum size allowed by your email service provider or the recipient's email service provider. The maximum size varies by service provider. Try compressing the filebefore sending it, or send your message without the attachment to verify that there are no issues with sending.

  • Can I sync without losing my contacts?

    While syncing my iPad to my MBP yesterday, using iTunes, I got this message:  “Synching Address Book with yahoo will alter more than 25% of your contacts.”  I looked at "Details" and saw that syncing would remove half of my contacts, so I chose, "Sync later," the only other option.  Now that message pops up every few minutes on the laptop.  How can I sync without deleting?

    Backup your existing contacts by saving them as a vCard from Addressbook, and putting them in a folder on your Mac's desktop.  At least that way if the sync does lose anything, you can always reimport, and then combine duplicates on the Mac.
    Note, if you've been adding contacts to the iPad and hoping they will sync to your Mac that unfortunately is not always reliable since it can be confusing what is the source and destination.

  • What is the best way to open emails and attachments without using wifi?

    For I-phone and I-pad, what is the best way to open emails and attachments without using wifi?  I turned off wifi in my settings but my boss thinks there may be another way and a better way to use something else instead of wifi.  Any help would be appreciated!  Thank you!

    Thanks!  That is a very good question you post.  My boss asked me that and I am assuming that he is having issues with using wifi wherever he is at.  My boss is the kind of person that when he asks something you look into it and ask him no questions...he's the only one asking questions!  But thank you for your response I will tell him the information you told me and hopefully that will help!

    I recently purchased an old iMac G3 Macintosh. I was wondering, is there a way where I can update it without using an external disc? I've seen the newer Apple products with the dock, if I update my iMac G3, will it have that, and if so, how can I do that?

    I was wondering, is there a way where I can update it without using an external disc?
    If you mean the iMac does not have an internal optical drive capable of reading DVDs, the only option requires another Mac with a DVD-capable drive and FireWire ports. Your iMac G3 will also require FireWire ports. Not all G3 iMacs have Firewire. FW started with the Summer 2000 models with 400mHz and faster processors.
    With FireWire, you can use FireWire Target Disk mode to install from a retail OS install DVD in another Mac. If you supplemental info info tells us if you have another Mac with a DVD reader and the FW ports, we can walk you through the process.
    If the iMac has a tray-loading drive, I'd forget it. They are very limited not only in the OS max (10.3.9) but also in RAM capability. Starting with the slot-loading iMac G3s, the max RAM increased to 1 GB (2 X 512MB modlules). Tiger likes 1GB RAM.
    Understand that pre-Intel Macs are getting harder to use. Even with 10.4.11, your choice of browsers is limited (TenFourFox is the most viable option) and the G3s  rudimentary video hardware means web browsing will be choppy at best.
    If you are in the USA, you can try calling the Apple Store (1-800-MY-APPLE) for an OS disk. As recently as Jan 20, someone posted here that they were able to buy Tiger by calling. It was not clear whether the disks were replacement system install/restore disks or full retail install, but it's a free call.
    When you do "About this Mac" to check teh OS verion, also look at the processor speed and tell us what that says. That can help with recommendations for an upgrade path.

  • With just ONE inatentive sweep of my finger one page of my note was disappeared! Is there any way it can be recovered without using the help of iCloud backup?

    1. With just ONE inattentive sweep of my finger one page of my note disappered. Further more, the same page in my iPad was deleted automatically too! How could this happen? Is there any way it can be recovered without using the backup feature from iCloud? The data is vey important to me?
    2. I havn't connect the power code to my iPad yet, the backup copy in the iClout was before the accident as I checked in iPad. Is there any way that I could open my notes in iCloud backup so that I can copy the missing page and move back to my iPad and iPhone?
    Thanks a lot for any help!

    Sorry, no. The only way to restore this note is to restore from a backup that contains it.

    Can't send email using wifi. Spent 30 min troubleshooting with my email service provider who finally told me to contact Apple.
    It doesn't work when I can't get 3G, whether at home or overseas. Receives no problem, and 3G works fine when it's available.

    Maybe it is a 3GS. Anyway, I get the error that the network is not responding, and to check my settings. My ISP is Uniserve (Canada) but I am trying to use Telus (at home, where there is no 3G in my neighbourhood) or whatever is available as I travel eg. US or Europe for outgoing mail when 3G is not available. My husband has no problem with his iphone 4 when he sends email the same way usinf wifi.

    Download the apps on your syncing computer and then sync to the iPod. Note that you can only sync apps for the one syncing computer you use with the iPod. You can manage music and videos among different computer.
