Synching iPhone with .Mac

Can the iPhone be synched with .Mac? The main feature I am concerned about is the calendar so that I can keep all of my calendars updated. This is one of my final concerns before getting out of my current wireless contract and getting an iPhone.

It can sync with your mail because it uses IMAP, but as far as syncing with calendars I don't think it can.. At least I haven't found a way..
Only way to sync to a calendar is with iCal.. (if you're using a mac, outlook if pc)..But shouldn't your .mac be synced with your ical anyway?.. I know mine is.

You can't sync it to two computers.
But you can plug it into a second computer and add things or take things out of apps (under the app tab, scroll down).
Also you can take photos off on a second computer.
There are a few things you can do on a second computer.
But not a sync.

I cant access control on syncing iphone with mac air to get contact via outlook to change on phone

I cant access control on syncing iphone with mac air to get contacts via outlook to change on phone. Worked fine on old itunes.

Hi Steve, Thanks for that. When I conect the phone it comes up with iphoto and starts to sync and then when that is finnished the itunes window shows my phone syncing at the top of the screen. The only button that says iphone which is on top right only asks if I want to eject and then disapears when sync finnishes. I can not see any other way of showing a side bar view and i can not access any way of controling the sycn service. It seems to be syncing calander but not my contacts. Have I missed something?

If your wireless environment is less than ideal, as it is in most inhabited areas, the influence of other wireless networks and devices competing for the same very small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum will affect your network's performance. Your own wireless network is a microcosm of that environment.
To mitigate the effects of competing wireless networks, use 5 GHz to the maximum practicable extent. It is comparatively free from interference contributed by other wireless devices and is likely to remain that way for some time. However, it is less tolerant of intervening obstructions and construction materials than the 2.4 GHz spectrum, so it's not a panacea. Every installation is different so you must experiment to determine the optimum configuration.
Place your wireless router (what kind is it?) in a central location, convenient to all the devices that require it. Most of the time a utility or ISP will locate it in some remote corner next to the utility service entrance. That is almost always the worst possible location.
Others find that only a direct wired Ethernet connection between router and devices will maintain uninterrupted access to Airplay.
That is almost certain to result in the best possible AirPlay performance. Short of having everything hard wired (it's not an option for the iPad for example) use an Ethernet connection for all the devices that lend themselves to that method. Your AppleTV is certainly one of them, since its location is not likely to change very often. Your AirPort Express should be another, since your audio systems are likely to stay put as well. Connect them both to your existing router, either directly or through an inexpensive Ethernet switch. Your problems are likely to be solved with just those two connections.

Synch iphone with icloud and mac?

I am having problems with trying to find instruction on how to achieve synch for my contacts using iCloud, iphone and Mac.
Is there any information available on this?
If so, where??
Appreciate your help and advice.

This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Contacts (Address Book).
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.

Synching iPhone with external hard drive

I recently got a new MacBook Pro. For some time, I've been storing all my iTunes music on an external hard drive with no issues.
I was having trouble synching my iPhone with the new MacBook at first. It was telling me it would need to erase the current music from my phone. Finally I realized I needed to copy the iTunes folder from the user Library on my old Mac. Then I was able to synch my phone.
BUT then I realized that, rather than accessing the music on my external hard drive, iTunes had copied all my music to the new Mac's hard drive. So I looked it up and got it to recognize the external drive -- ended up having to copy all the music from the Mac BACK to the external drive, where it already existed.
But now the phone won't synch again! Those files are still in the Library folder. Why is the Mac treating my iPhone like a stranger again?

But, as I said, by copying those files from the /user/Library/iTunes folder, I had solved the problem temporarily on the new computer. Now that it's looking for the music on the external hard drive, something is messed up again.
And, by the way, the music is still all on the internal hard drive, too. But I did do the "consolidate library" and I've verified that iTunes is finding the music on the external hard drive, not the internal one.

How do i avoid duplicate data when synching iphone and mac book to the cloud?

When I left my job for the last time I uploaded my Microsoft Outlook Contacts to the Cloud so that I could synch it with my Iphone (which I did). Now I would like to also synch the Address Book on my Macbook with the Cloud and my Iphone so I can integrated all of these contacts. First I do not know if I can do this since my MACbook is a few years old aand I do not see the Cloud Icon anywhere on it. Second of all I am not sure which area (Cloud, Iphone, or Macbook) take precedence when synching. Can I lose data? Does one systems dat over ride the other? How can I avoid duplicate data? I am a fairly new Mac user and love the way things are integrated so I think I should not worry but I need help. thanks, tdag55

Hi meadowD,
If you are looking to remove duplicate files from iTunes, you may find the following article useful (in the most recent versions of iTunes 11, the Display/Show Duplicate Items option has been moved to the View menu):

Duplicate contacts after synching iPhone with Outlook

After I synched my new iPhone with my Outlook contacts there are many I do not need/want on my phone. Is there an easy way to edit all these on-line somewhere...rather than going thru each contact on my iPhone?

Synch. iPhone with 2 computers

I would like to snych my iPhone with my business Windows XP based notebook (Outlook synchronization of contacts and calendar) and with my private MacBook Pro which contains all music, videos, podcasts, ebooks and pictures.
I assume that this senario is most common and should be best practice. So allow that I address this synch issue to the apple development team to elaborate a solution for this request soon.
Thank you very much. Wolfgang

Answering andy76sz's question, yes my behavior is the same as yours. Each time I try to resync my phone with the my other computer (no matter if it's my iMac at home or my work PC) all the syncing options are cleared and I have to recheck the ones I want. As sisterblue said, Apple probably intended this behavior to prevent inadvertent syncing to occur.
So it seems this is just the way it is for now. I hope 2.0 of the iPhone firmware will address this common usage scenario (i.e., full synchronization of contacts and appointments between the iphone and 2 different computers). This has been a feature of Windows Mobile for a while now and many of us have come to depend on having our phones (formerly PDAs) provide a way synchronizing our busy schedules and dynmically changing contacts and their info between work and home. I agree with andy76sz's assessment that Apple probably didn't initially provide this capability because they were worried about people copying music/videos between different computers using the iPhone as a bridge. I don't even use my iPhone to listen to music or watch videos.
I do have an idea though, that might work until Apple provides this capability... I have a couple of old Windows Mobile phone lying around gathering dust (T-Mobile SDA, SMT5600). What if I were to go back to using Missing Sync on my iMac and use these old phones as bridging device for syncing my calendar and contacts between my home iMac and my work PC. Would be a pain in the butt, but I think it may work. Any body tried this?

Can't synch iPhone with iPhoto

I've been trying to sync the pictures on my iPhone with iPhoto but I keep getting a pop-up message that says:m"Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait while import is complete. " Unfortunately nothing else happens....I can't update my iPhone to the new iOS because I don't have enough memory (the file takes up too much space anyway) and...Help!

Launch iTunes. Menu. iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Check the box at the bottom. Then connect the iPhone, get the photos and after you disconnect uncheck that box.

Problem with deleting images from iPhone with Mac

When I connect my iPhone 5 to macbook pro Image Acquire opens. I want to delete all images of my iPhone but with it (Image Acquire) I can't because the delete button is disabled. Why? Maybe because I noticed a locker near the images? Don't know, can help me?

Image Acquire or Image Capture?
Launch Image Capture located in your Applications folder.
Make sure your iPhone is turned on then connect the iPhone to your Mac.
Make sure the iPhone is selected under DEVICES.
See if: Delete after import is available now.

Synching iPhone with newly-installed iTunes

I plugged in my iPhone to newly-installed iTunes on a new laptop (to synch it) and a message popped up telling me iTunes would take my iPhone back to its factory settings and that I would lose my media etc. Will I get it back? And how?
Thanks

Howdy Paddy275,
I would recommend copying your library from the other computer to this one. This article will help with that:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
The content WILL be wiped when you sync the phone. But if you have the library that has all your media in it copied over and you can see it all in iTunes, then you will need to select what to sync back over. Use this to assist with that if needed.

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
If you cannot copy the original library to your new computer, then you can always redownload your past purchases free of charge from the iTunes store.

How can I synch iphone with itunes?

Have tried the troubleshooting on the website, no joy. Itunes is on my imac, but my iphone does not seem to appear when I plug it into the computer?

If you want to use your phone with your computer, you need to update it to OS X 10.6.8, and iTunes to 11.1. Snow Leopard is US $20 at Apple's online store.
That is, if your Mac meets the requirements for Snow Leopard.
