Can't download Mountain Lion / iPhone 5 won't sync with iCal & Contacts on iMac
Have a 2007 iMac. Running Snow Leopard. Contacts and iCal aren't syncing to iPhone 5. Did a little research and decided maybe it was because I'm not upgraded to Mountain Lion. Tried to download Mountain Lion and it says it cannot because it requires 2GB of memory. Help. What do I do now?
A 2007 iMac, according to http://www.everymac.com can go up to 6 GB ram. you have to check and see if yours is on the compatible list at http://www.apple.com/osx/specs and if it is not, you can still go to Lion by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE and purchaing a download code to use to download 10.7.5 from the Mac App Store. Lion is compatible with iCloud, also.
You still need at least 2 GB ram, 4 GB is much better. Go to OWC, or Crucial to see about more ram.

My iphone won't sync with Outlook contacts or calendar anymore. Any idea how to do this now?
I used to be able to sync my iphone contacts and calendar entries (home calendar) with outlook and now it won't work. How can I fix this?
Does iTunes Show an error message?
How did you setup syncing with Outlook, are you syncing them via iTunes using USB or Wi-Fi or an Exchange server?
For more info on USB syncing and all of the other options, take a look at this Apple doc -> iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
If you aren't sure try setting up USB syncing again, just connect the iPhone to the computer, open iTunes, click the Info tab across the top of the screen, scroll down to Contacts and choose to sync contacts.
Contacts
To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" on your Mac.
You can sync your contacts with:
Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7)
Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
Windows Contacts (Windows Vista / Windows 7)
Address Book (Mac OS X)
Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
Note: If using Microsoft Entourage, use Microsoft Entourage 2008 12.1.2 or later if syncing with Mac OS X v10.6 or later. If you would like to sync data on your Mac with Entourage, enable syncing between Entourage and Address Book.
Notes:
When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
Additional options for syncing include syncing your contacts with Yahoo or Gmail/Google Mail. You will need to configure it with the user name and password for your Yahoo or Google account. -
Events doubling up on iPhone 3G when synced with iCal on my iMac
Hi all,
I'm having an annoying problem with iCal on my iPhone 3G...
I'm happily using iCal on my iMac and everything seems up to date, days and events look perfectly normal on there. However, when I sync it up with my iPhone 3G, for some reason some events (but not all) are being doubled up on my iPhone. They aren't there on my iMac's copy of iCal - that still looks correct.
I tried going through and deleting the extra events from my iPhone. As soon as I synced again with my iMac, all the rogue events reappeared on my iPhone. Tried it a few times, same result.
I have a feeling the rogue events that are appearing on my iPhone are ones that I originally inputted onto my iPhone's copy of iCal, then a few weeks later I've adjusted them, deleted them, generally tidied up my calendar through iCal on my iMac. This might be why it's only doing it to a few events I've added, not all of them. When I re-sync, it's like they keep being resurrected on my iPhone.
I've tried re-syncing using the Advanced option in iTunes where you replace information on the iPhone - the rogue events still came back on my iPhone. I also just tried going to my iSync preferences and resetting my Sync History. Didn't fix it.
I don't use MobileMe and I have no other computers or calendars so there's nothing else trying to sync up that might be generating these doubled up events. I'm not doing anything other than try and sync my iPhone 3G with my iMac through iTunes.
Any ideas where these extra events are coming from and how I can flush them out of my iPhone's copy of iCal?I just posted this in another thread, but I'll summarize it here for you:
I had three groups of calendars in the Calendar app on my iPhone (OS 3.0): calendars from my MobileMe account, a set of calendars I had subscribed to with iCal, and calendars entitled "From My Mac" which was a duplicate of every calendar from the other two groups. What I wanted was to go back to having just the MobileMe syncing over the air, plus the subscribed calendars, so everything would be continuously updated instantly. I didn't need a duplicate set of static calendars, and so I wanted to get rid of the calendars in the group "From My Mac".
I made sure I'd unchecked the checkboxes for iCal in the Info tab of iTunes for my iPhone, and then applied the sync. Unfortunately, this did not remove that new special group of calendars for my iPhone, yet. I guess it kept them just in case. (Side note: Interestingly, when I recreated my problem to re-test this, I forgot to do this again. The checkbox for the Calendars seems to magically uncheck itself if I go through the rest of the steps without doing this first. I think iTunes gets informed from the cloud at some point, perhaps after I decide to delete the calendars in the "From My Mac" group from within the iPhone. So, you may not need to do this. Anyways, make sure it's unchecked so it won't happen again…)
On the iPhone, I opened the Settings app, went into "Mail, Contacts, Calendars", chose my MobileMe account, and then turned off the Calendars. It asked me whether I wanted to delete the MobileMe calendars from my iPhone and I chose "Delete from My iPhone". Note that the message explicitly refers to your iPhone and not MobileMe, so you are not deleting them from MobileMe. (But please do read the messages and don't assume that's what it says. There are many prompts.) If you don't delete them for your iPhone, they'll get added to the "From My Mac" group of calendars. This isn't a problem since this group will get deleted later, so you can choose either to keep them, or delete them now.
Wait a moment before turning the Calendars back on, to give it time to process the "offing". When turning the Calendars on, I was asked whether I wanted to merge the MobileMe calendars with the existing calendars on my iPhone, that special group I was trying to get rid of. I chose "Do not Merge" because I didn't want even more duplicates, I just wanted what I had in the cloud, on MobileMe.
After not merging the calendars, next it asked whether I wanted to keep the existing calendars I had on my iPhone. I chose to "Delete" them, which it then asked me to confirm (Delete or Cancel) so again I chose "Delete". (And once again, please read the messages carefully and don't assume what they say just because what is written here. The messages might change with updates.) When I opened the Calendars app on the iPhone, the "From My Mac" group of calendars was completely gone. I was back to what I had before, just two groups: the MobileMe calendars I had just turned on, and the subscribed calendars that I hadn't touched.
I think the key is to not merge with the duplicate set of calendars, and to not keep them. Otherwise, you can't go wrong because everything is on MobileMe, as long as you're synced with it. -
Mountain lion notes won't sync with iPhone notes
I must have a setting messed up but I just upgraded to 10.8.2 and iTunes 11.0 and I want to move the notes I have on my iPhone to my Mac. I am having trouble syncing the two devices. I didn't see anything in iTunes 11.0 to force a sync nor did I see anything in the setting of my phone that would solve this issue.
I have the same problem after updating it 2 days ago, used it for the first time today with my iPhone plugged in for sync.
I don't think that you messed up anything. This is a terrible user interface. Much harder to use than the privious one. Who approved such a bad one? -

Thanks.Yes, the installer downloads to the Applications folder, if after downloading it asks to continue to do the installation just close that dialogue. Later, when you are ready to install click on the installer in the Applications folder and it will do its thing.

I can't download mountain lion, I get the following message "could not complete your purchase, can't verify the file, it may be damaged or unsigned" ? what do i have to do ?
The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
Power down. Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore.
No trouble at all once I did this.
Reminder: create full backup before you upgrade OS
Hope it helps. -

iPhone won't sync with iTunes and It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do. I tried everything!
I need to add my music to my iPhone from iTunes but its not working!First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

Did you check your secuirty software settings? iTuens needs to contact Apple during the sync process.
Also try to remove all Apple related software and reinstall iTunes after that. Removing iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista and 7
