I have Lion on my laptop and I want to back up my calendar TO my iphone. Not the reverse. iCloud only goes from iphone to iCloud to mac not the other way. Also, why doesn't "sync" mean update most recent changes across all devices?

I have Lion on my laptop and I want to back up my calendar TO my iphone. Not the reverse. iCloud only goes from iphone to iCloud to mac not the other way. Also, why doesn't "sync" mean update most recent changes across all devices? I thought that was the point of iCloud. Any suggestions since iCloud doesn't seem to work?

It's a work computer so I wanted to save them to my iTunes so I can access from another computer.  Should I go to a home computer and just Import for best results?  If so how do I do this?  Also, why would I be synched with another library and how do I find out what this is?  Very new/green user here

  • I now have Lion on my laptop, and now I cannot get Word, or Office or anything. Do I have to buy the new Microsoft for Mac

    I now have Lion on my laptop, and now I cant get Word, or Office or any of my Microsoft for Mac stuff to work. Do I have to buy a new version of all this now that the operating software is Lion instead of leopard?

    Support for Office 2004 went away when Lion adandoned support for the Rosetta emulator that let Snow Leopard and earlier run old PPC programs like Office 2004 on an Intel Mac.
    The first version of Office that runs natively on an Intel Mac is Office 2008. The current version is Office 2011 and should offer no problems.
    Your choice of Office version depends on whether you count on Entourage as your mail client. Office 2008 was the last version to include Entourage. With Office 2011, Entourage was replaced by a Mac version of Outlook BUT you must buy the more expensive "business" version to get Outlook. It does not come with the more affordable "Home/Student" edition.

  • I have lost my I phone, and I want to disable it. I couldn't find it through "I cloud" or "find my iphone"!! Can I disable it by using the serial No. or IMEI ? How?

    I have lost my I phone, and I want to disable it.
    I couldn't find it through "I cloud" or "find my iphone"!!
    Can I disable my lost I phone by using the serial No. or IMEI ? How?

    The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.
    If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
    If locked with a passcode, all a thief or whoever finds it has to do is force the phone into recovery mode & restore it. While this deletes all data on the phone, it also removes the passcode so the phone can then be used as a phone or touch.

  • I have itune on my laptop and I want to have it on my ipad. Can I have the same id and password. the laptop does not have the same adress as mine

    Ihave itune on my laptop and I want to put it on my ipad. The username on my ipad is not the same as mine. Can i use the same adress as the one on my laptop

    Hi Yes you can use the same address as on the laptop. iTunes will then show purchases you have made and you will be able to download them.

  • I have bought a new laptop and I want sync and back-up my iPhone4 to the iTunes installed on my new laptop. How do I do it?

    Hi all,
    I have recently bought a new laptop.
    My old desktop PC has been used to sync and back-up my iPhone4.
    However, when I installed itunes on the new laptop and tried to sync the iphone I got the message
    "iPhone can only be synced with one iTunes library"
    How can designate my new laptop as the one wheer I can sync and back-up my iPhone?
    Old PC: Windows XP
    New PC: Windows 7
    Can somebody please send me step by step guide as im a novice with PC/iTunes
    Hope somebody can help.
    Thanks in advance.

    It will clear the phone. You need to restore the backup you made of your important files from the old computer (surely no one in the third millennium who uses a computer does not back it up regularly).
    You can recover iTunes-purchased music, videos and apps from the phone, but not music from other sources. Connect the phone, do not sync, and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the File menu.
    Photos in the Camera Roll can be transferred buy using the Camera Wizard on your computer.
    Contacts and Calendar can be synced with apps on your computer; just make sure there is at least one entry in each app on the computer before syncing.
    You are out of luck if you have photos in the Photo app on the phone; there are apps for your computer that can extract them, but they will be lower resolution than originals because they have been optimized for the iPhone's resolution.

    Hi dryapple,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you backed up the contacts on your iPhone to iTunes or iCloud, see this article for information on restoring from a backup:

  • When I plug my iPad into a wall circuit and leave it for 18 hours the battery level only goes from 55% to 66% and then it quotes charging. Is this normal or do I have trouble with my adapter, it is the one that came with the iPad?

    When I plug my Ipad into a wall circut it will not fully charge, It only charges up to 66% does anyone no why?

    I can't tell you why it is doing this but it should not take anywhere near that long to recharge.
    Try another power adapter if you have access to one - borrow one from a friend, try another wall socket, another cable ... take it to an Apple Store and let them try to charge it for you.
    You can try resetting the iPad and see if that helps but I have my doubts - but it will not hurt anything either.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Your battery gauge may be giving you an incorrect reading - but I think that would be a long shot as well. How many hours of use do you get at 66%?
    You can read this about the iPad battery and how to maintain and care for the battery. .

    Use Your iPad Regularly
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

  • HT201407 new iphone 5 and 4 year old macbook, and for some reason my computer says a later version of itunes is required to use iphone to sync.  updated most recent version possible and still can not sync to iphone.

    new iphone 5 and 4 year old macbook, and for some reason my computer says a later version of iTunes is required.  So, i went to ITunes and found i have the latest version availble at this time.  iTunes say phone can not be synced because it requires a version of 10.7 or greater?

    iPhone 5 requires OS X 10.6.8 & iTunes 10.7 or greater. I suspect you're running Leopard, 10.5.8, correct? If so, you will first have to update your OS, then iTunes in order to sync your phone.

  • Why doesn't my lyrics update when I change them?

    I wanted to change a typo in lyrics for one of my songs. I went into iTunes under my iPhone (3Gs) and manually right clicked-> get info-> lyrics and chagned the lyric then clicked ok. I ejected my iPhone and noticed that the lyrics did not make the change I put in. I deleted the song and added it from iTunes with the new change and still nothing. Why does this happen? The only way I found out how to fix this is to get a whole 'nother version of the song and add it into iTunes and my iPhone.
    I also have one more question: Is there a way to search what songs are in a playlist, not in the entire iPhone. I scroll above the playlist I'm on and type in a song and it shows me every song in my library with that name, not just the ones in the playlist. Is there a way to search only the playlists on my iPhone?

    I have the very same problem. Can't fix any typos I made, when I first added lyrics to a song. Deleting the songs from my iPhone didn't work, neither did restarting or un- and replugging my phone.
    I would highly appreciate an answer to this problem, as it startet occuring after the release of iOS5, I'm pretty sure.

  • In Firefox 5, Why doesn't New Tab show most recent sites I logged on to?

    In F4, when I opened a new tab I was presented with a screen of the last sites I visited. Now I've upgraded to F5 I just get a blank page. Seems like a retrograde step, can you fix it? (and encourage Google to update their toolbar!)

  • MacBook Air 2011, running Lion 10.7.2, and Safari won't load any pages. Firefox loads everything just fine. What's going on?

    I have a MacBook Air 2011, running Lion 10.7.2, and Safari won't load any pages. Firefox loads everything just fine. What's going on?

    d Pacifist to reinstall both the Safari
    application and the WebKit framework
    was that before the 10.4.6 combo was applied?
    Nope, I tried the Pacifist route after applying the combo update.
    It does sound as if webkit is busted at the moment.
    What version of osx is on your install disks?
    Not sure, I'll have to check them.
    I'd like to avoid a archive & install, but I'm beginning to think it's my only remaining option.

  • TS4083 Is there a way or a setting my folders in Mail to automatically update across all devices? if I transfer an email to a folder for follow-up on my PC, my folder in Mail on my iPhone doesn't update until I actually go into the folder and update manua

    Is there a way (or a setting) for my individual folders in Mail to automatically update across all devices? For example, if I transfer an email to a folder for follow-up on my PC - say 10th of the following month - the same folder in Mail on my iPhone doesn't update until I actually go into the folder and update manually.  Interestingly though, if I create a new folder on any of my devices they automatically appear on the other devices so it is just the actual contents that I am referring to here.  Appreciate any help or guidance.
    Regards
    Justin

    You can turn mail off in the settings but then you can't use it for anything, including the "test" that you want to perform.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Account Name>Mail>Off. That totally turns off the mail account.
    As long as mail is turned on and you launch the app, it will look for an download new mail.

    You can do it. This article from Macworld will be helpful to you:

    I recommend the "brute-force" method.
    Just make sure you have your data backed up properly!

    As Bob says, any iMap service can do this. GMail can, iCLoud mail can too.
    Both of these can be used with Mail on any device.

    Can someone set me straight?

    Check system preferences to make sure you have iCal and your photostream checkmarked to TRUE.
    If you still have problems, give us more details.
    Also, make sure the calendar in iCal you're using/looking at is not "On My Mac", but actually an iCloud one.
