Not synching; not happy

Ever since I updated iTunes software and updated iPhone software my synching feature with mobile me is no longer working for calendars nor email - I haven't explored contacts. This has been true for the last 10 days or more. I am at a complete loss as to how to make it work again. I really need help. I need these features to work. Yikes.
What have others done short of uninstalling and reinstalling everything? I run Windows XP. Thanks.

  • IPad3 with IOS 7 not synching Notes or reminders

    I'm having a problem with reminders on my iPad3 after upgrade to IOS7.  Added to this my Notes are not synching from the iPad either.  Both Apps will synch between the iMac and iPhone5, which is also on IOS7.  But nothing pushes to the iPad and nothing that I create in the iPad will go to the other devices.  Very frustrating.
    On the iPad notes and reminders do not appear in the background app refresh list.
    I have tried removing the mail accounts but this makes no difference to the notes app.  All the settings for mail look right, notes settings have the correct account as default.  I have tried a reset which has not helped and now I'm at a loss ...... Next step is to wipe the iPad and start again .... Unless I get any suggestions here.
    Thanks

    ... run two separate virus scans, and used two separate programs to delete uncessary files, and then overwrite them to 0's.
    Without knowing which programs you used to do that, I strongly suspect they either caused the problem or exacerbated whatever problem existed prior to using them.
    You have two choices: either completely erase your MacBook Pro and reconfigure it from the ground up, or uninstall the programs used to delete required files or their essential components that those programs deemed unnecessary. The effect of using ill-conceived "cleaning" garbage generally requires the former option. I hope you have adequate backups.

  • Ipad 1 will not synch notes with iPhone?

    Hi there
    I have an original iPad 1....and also now have an iPhone.
    I use the same iCloud account on both...but the notes will not synch on the iPad...even though iCloud is enabled, and notes are set to synch?

  • Icloud does not synch notes

    Synchronising notes between my PC, iPhone und iPad does not work with iCloud. In the settings of the iPad and iPhone, notes is activated under iCloud and under notes, the default account is iCloud.
    Gathering from the web, this is an unresolved problem with apple iCloud. Is this so? If it is, what is iCloud good for?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone'  or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

  • HT4597 After the move to icloud, I no longer have an address book synched. Cannot find a way to add i cloud on preferences/accounts either. I'm not at all happy with this transition.

    You don't require Mountain Lion - you need Lion which has been available for almost a year.
    Unless you are running Mac OS X 10.7.2 or later (Lion) you won't be able to sync iCloud with your computer. The iClous system preferences pane does not exist in ealier versions.
    The Mac system requirements are all clearly stated on the iCloud pages, and in the support articles.

  • ITunes 7.3.2 (OSX) and 5th Gen iPod not synching

    I have had my 5th gen iPod (30GB) for about 2 years now and originally had used it with Windows, then I switched over to a Mac in Feb and have been pretty happy. Normally i synch my iPod daily to get my playlists updated (so I don't listen to the same thing all the time) and so I can get new Podcasts that were downloaded. Before I left for work this morning, I was able to synch my iPod with no problem, when I was about to synch it before I went to bed, it will not synch. When I try to put in the iPod, iTunes then crashes. I try to put in the iPod and let iTunes open automatically, it loads then crashes again. I have rebooted both the Mac and did a reset on my iPod, but can't even perform a restore since before iTunes would pop up the iPod section, it crashes first. it IS mac formatted. i don't know what is going on and what chnged from this morning to this evening and why suddenly it doesn't work.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    I deleted both iTunes and Quicktime7, emptied the trash, restarted, then reinstalled QT then iTunes. Still getting the same issue. Still "crashing" when the iPod is connected.
    This is some of the information from the bug report that I thought might be helpful to figure out what went wrong (didn't want to include ALL the crash report, so I just included the info before the "thread crashed" details and the system info at the bottom):

  • My Apple TV (1st Gen) will not synch with iTunes on my Laptop

    I've been trying to do this for a while, it shouldn't be too difficult i think.
    All i want to do is synch all the content on my laptop with my Apple TV (and vice versa) so all the content including photos and home videos is the same on both my Apple TV and my laptop.
    Some points:
    There's enough hard drive space on both
    I'm using Windows 7 ultimate on my laptop
    The correct port exceptions have been added to Windows Firewall
    I have purchases on both my laptop and Apple TV from the iTunes store
    We're using a wireless network and it while it's possible to get them both cable wired, it would be a pain
    Home networking is set up in iTunes on my laptop
    I've set up my Apple TV to synch (not stream) with my account on my laptop
    Both iTunes and Apple TV are up to date with their downloads
    I think that's it - am i missing anything, or should this now just work?
    Cheers
    David

    As per the question, really...
    "My Apple TV (1st Gen) will not synch with iTunes on my Laptop"
    There's no error messages
    Only the films i've bought on my AppleTV appear on my AppleTV
    It's been synching for over 4 hours and hasnt got past the first film and the progress bar is not moving

  • Blackberry calendar not synching with Outlook

    Hi guys,
    We did 2 upgrades and now some black calendar are not synching naymore with outlook.
    Here's our setting
    We had Blackberry Enterprise server professionnal 4.0.17 or something like that we upgraded to Blackberry server Express 5.0.3 MR 1 (Bundle 19) for Exchange server
    we had Microsoft Exchange 2003 and we upgraded to 2010
    Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Version 14.1.218.15 with service pack installed Update Rollup 5 SP1 and Update Rollup 4-V2 SP1
    The issue is with some Blackberry device when you add something to the Black Calendar it's not showing up into Outlook calendar.
    I tried to removed every cical ligne into the services book and resend the service book from the blackberry server, had no luck
    I tried these steps :
    On the BlackBerry smartphone, open the Calendar application.
    Click the Menu button and click Options.
    Set the Wireless Synchronization option to No.
    Click the Menu button and click Save.
    Set the Wireless Synchronization option to Yes.
    Click the Menu button and click Save. Turning wireless calendar synchronization on and off will reset the calendar database on the BlackBerry smartphone.
    Create a calendar entry in Microsoft Outlook and verify that the entry wirelessly synchronizes to the BlackBerry smartphone.
    no luck too..
    I don't know where to look at now have you any hint or clues

    Hello guys,
    here's some new information I tried / double checked...
    I make sure that Options > Advanced Options > Default Service > is set to Desktop no facebook or something else configured on the device
    I'm thinking of doing this.
    we can try a forced reload. Before proceeding you need to be
    aware that these steps will erase the device calendar and load a fresh copy from the server. On the device open the Calendar > press menu > Select Options >
    Type RSET (nothing will appear as you type) > Then when prompted select Yes to erase the device Calendar and load a fresh copy from the server.
    this would really be my last option because our employees that are having the synch issue had added some important stuff into their calendar related to their job and this information is only available on the blackberry calendar...
    thanks for any advice you have about this issue.

  • Ipod touch 4th gen not synching?

    When I tried to synch my ipod it told me that there were 3 apps I could not synch to my ipod because they werent compatible. I have used these apps forever and they just started this. The apps were ibooks, tumblr, and aviary photo editor. I think it said something about my ipod being out of date or something so looked to see what version my itunes and ipod were and I noticed that my ipod and my itunes were not up to the most current version but every time I clicked update it said it was up to date. So i went on the site and downloaded it from there and somehow finally got my ipod up to (6.1.5) and my itunes to (11.1.3). But it still kept saying the apps could not synch to my ipod and meanwhile new songs that I downloaded on my ipod werent synching wither. Si I said screw those apps all I care about are my new songs synching so I deleted those apps. But now those new songs still arent synching and Ive noticed if I delete an app on my itunes or on the ipod they are translating over which leads me to assume the apps arent synching so maybe nothing is synching. However when I watch it synch it seems to go through the 6 synching stages (wait for synch to start, prepare to synch, determining apps to synch, determining tracks to synch, waiting for changes to be applied, and sometimes it will say finishing synch). But no matter what my new songs wont go on there and then since I deleted ibooks it keeps telling me I cant read books on my ipod now, i really dont care about reading books but either way it gives me a message that i either cant read them anymore or the app isnt compatible. Can someone help me make my itouch synch correctly please?
    Sorry for the super long explanation.

    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod        
    Try syncing using the manual method
    Next try restoring from backup.

    Regarding apps, some apps have been updated and the updated apps require iOS 7. However, you should be able to redownload the last compatible version via the iPod. See:

  • My Ipod touch will not synch all songs in my library - on my windows 8 laptop. Doesn't matter if the songs are checked or not - only some songs will synch to the IPOD. I have multiple devices and two accounts.

    My IPOD touch will not synch all songs in my library. Library is on a windows 8 laptop. Checking the songs does not matter. I have multiple devices (ipod, IPhone 4 and 5, IPad 2) and two ITunes accounts.

    All songs play on the laptop windows 8. The second Ipod touch we have - all songs synch to it and play.
    But the first Ipod touch we bought - only half (or so) of the songs synch. So I assume there is an issue with the newer Ipod touch. The songs not synching are songs I added to the library from CD's.

  • Messages from iPad not Synching with MacBook Pro when Powered Off

    I have the new MacBook Pro (2 GHz, i7, purchased Feb 2014), 15" Retina running OSX 10.9.4.  I also had an iPad3 (Retina) but just upgraded to the new iPad Air 2 weeks ago.  I do not have an iPhone, but that's next.  I have used the same iCloud account for all devices.
    The issue:
    Messages (or message conversations) that I have when using my iPad Air are not synching with the MacBook under certain conditions.
    1) If my MacBook is on, there is no issue. Messages between devices (whether being composed on the iPad or MacBook) synch instantly between devices.
    2) If my MacBook is sleeping, most (but I do not think all) messages sent from my iPad will synch with the MacBook when it wakes up from sleep.
    3) If my MacBook was powered off and I had message conversations using my iPad while the MacBook was off, these messages do not synch with my MacBook after I turn it back on.  BUT, this depends:
         a) if I power on the MacBook shortly after (5-10 min) I had the message conversation on the iPad, sometimes these messages on the iPad will synch with my MacBook after I power it on.
         b) If my MacBook was powered off for several hours after I had a message conversation on my iPad, and then I power on the MacBook, these conversations are not synching on the MacBook at all.
         i.e Assume MacBook is powered off.  I have a message conversation on my iPad at 4:30 PM.  If I power on my MacBook at 4:35 PM, the message from my iPad synchs with the MacBook.  However, if I power on my MacBook say at 10 PM or the next day, then the message conversation I had on the iPad DOES NOT synch with my MacBook.
    Confused?  So am I.  To complicate matters, I did not have these issues while I had my old iPad 3.  I only starting noticing it when I bought the new iPad Air two weeks ago.  I do not know if this is related.
    Another issue:  SOME message conversations on my MacBook and iPad air now appear to get out of chronological order.  In fact, on my iPad air, I received a message at 10 AM (message A) and then had several other messages with this person throughout the day on my iPad (at 11 AM, and then 2 PM).  Later that evening around 10 PM, the original message (message A) was received again as a new message on my iPad (i.e. received a new message notification).  Now, message A appears out of order (it shows the timestamp of 10 AM, but it displays after the messages that came at 11 AM and 2 PM).  Since my MacBook was on, these messages synched with my MacBook, but were (and remain) in the proper chronological order.
    Other iCloud apps (calendar, mail, FaceTime notifications, notes, keychain, Photo-stream etc. seem to be synching fine between devices).  One last observation, when I bought the iPad air and restored it from the backup I made from the old iPad 3, everything restored fine from the backup except for Calendar.  For whatever reason, some old calendar entries did not restore on the new iPad.
    I have run a myriad of tests (sending messages to myself from both my new and old iPad (even created a new apple ID from the old iPad)) with my MacBook sleeping or powered off for varying amounts of time in order to provide the information above.  I also reinstalled the operating system on my MacBook but this did not resolve the issue.
    If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I would be extremely grateful. I have been in contact by phone with Apple support and have them baffled as well, but they are doing their best to help.
    Thanks,
    HankSTL

  • Sent email from my iPhone not synching with my desktop Mac

    I am stumped. When I send email from my iPhone (using my POP account) the email is sent, shows up in my iPhone sent folder but does not show up in the sent folder in the Mail application on my desktop plus the little icon showing that I responded is not there. I guess it is not synching. This is a problem because I often don't recall if I responded to an email from my iPhone and I end up responding again to the email when I see it on my Mac desktop. My synch is working great with contacts and calendars, both push and fetch. I am also receiving emails, push and fetch, just fine. Can anyone offer advice or insight? Thanks!

    I am having the same problem. When I send from my iPhone (old version), the messages are not shown in my send folder on my desktop Mac. They are showing up in MobileMe, however. I have checked settings on my Mac and on the phone and still can't figure out what has happened. This all started with the new syncing system.

  • On an iPad with iTunes, do you know if you can edit/delete all your tunes on your device with a "clear all" button rather than having to delete a song one by one like you have to do on an iPhone if not synching via a MacBook/ PC with iTunes account?

      I'm signed up to the Cloud and itunes match - the whole game. But I cam getting annoyed with having to delete songs one by one on my iPhone once dowloaded from the cloud as I only have a 16GB phone....yes I listen to music non-stop!  So, I am thinking about getting an iPAD as I rarely use my MacBook Pro for anything other than surfing and music now...  so the question is:  "On an iPad with iTunes, do you know if you can edit/delete all your tunes on your device with a "clear all" button rather than having to delete a song one by one like you have to do on an iPhone (if not synching via a MacBook/ PC with iTunes account where I know you can clear down and refill with ease)????

    Have you tried
    Settings > General > Usage > Music > Edit > Delete

  • IMac contacts do not synch with iCloud, iPhone & iPad contacts do

    When I add/modify contacts on my MacBook Pro, the changes do not synch to iCloud, or my iPhone or iPad.  Calendar items and iCloud mail do synch and contactys synch between my iPhone and iPad.  What am I missing?  I have Lion.

    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • Why can't I use my normal mail account for synching notes

    Hi there,
    I maintain my father's iDevices/computers as he has Parkinsons and does not understand the technology behind how these services work. I need to maintain as simple a configuration as possible. As an example calendaring is difficult as new entries are not necessarily put in the calendar he uses and I have to talk him through how to show all calendars on a regular basis. I can't have his mail on IMAP as he cannot manage his mail and his mailbox fills up. I can't simply pay for storage ad infinitum - my local copy of his mail is about 6 GB and growing.
    I have seen several discussions where it is clear that we *must* use an icloud.com e-mail account for synching notes via IMAP, but none of them have explained WHY I MUST USE @icloud.com e-mail. If this is an IMAP based service why can't I use any other IMAP server
    I see that it is referred to as an "icloud account" but if I have to enable mail, it becomes an e-mail account, which I do not want as it will be confusing if there is an issue with the main mail server (which I maintain) it will present an option to use the icloud.com e-mail as a valid option to send the mail.
    I do not turn on the mail option in icloud.. (only calendar, contacts, reminders and find my iphone). I find it dissapointing that this is now what seems to be a "requirement".

    That is absolutely unnecessary, but more convenient to have icloud to sync your notes. I use other IMAPs as well and can sync my notes with google and yahoo and icloud(corresponding email is required in all cases). It is your choice and you can pick your poison, but you will find out that icloud is more convenient after you or him will lose his info few times. There is no requirement, you can even use the group that will not sync with anything "on my device" if you disable all of IMAPS. Icloud is just the one that you can call Apple and normally people prefer to work with Apple support way more then with google's or yahoo's, but that is again up to your preference.
