Can't get iPad2 to sync with my MacBook Pro.

Have always been able to in the past. In my utilities on my iPad2, it says it was last synced with my MacBook on 3/16. I am on wi fi and plugged in but the Sync Now button on my iPad is grey and it says it will sync when my MacBook is available.

Probably because on the Mac you set it to something other than IMAP.  Check your advanced account settings on both your iOS devices and see what they're set for.  By default (if you pick Hotmail on the wizard) I think iOS sets them up as IMAP.
I believe also no Hotmail may allow you to do Exchange ActiveSync as well, but not 100% sure.  I know that protocol was added to Gmail last year or the year before.  ActiveSync would also keep your mailbox in perfect sync as well.

    You need OSX 10.7.2 or higher in order to access icloud.  The mobile me account is now defunct (it closed down more than a year ago).

  • I rec'd an iPod Nano and can't get it to sync with playlist. I also have Windows 8. I need help!

    I have rec'd an iPod Nano and can't get it to sync with my existing playlist. I am using a Windows 8 Dell laptop. Any suggestions?

    One iCloud account has one user name (a .mac or .me email name) and password.  If you have set up multiple accounts in the past then you must choose one and stay with it.  If you don't know the user name, then you have a problem.  If you haven't really begun using iCloud (but you mention trying to get mail, so I'm assuming you have used iCloud before), then use a .mac or .me account you know you have or just sign up for a new account - and be sure to write down the name and password for future use.
    If you want to use the account to sync your contacts, email, calendars, etc, then each of your ios devices need to use the same account, otherwise they will be independent of one another.

    Enable iCloud on both, and Calendars on the iPhone should sync with iCal on the Mac wirelessly.

  • My iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro.  it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone

    my iphone 5 will not sync with my macbook pro.  it says my computer is no longer authorized to download purchased items from the iphone.  However, when I go to authorize my computer, it says it is already authorized.  How do I fix this?

    You can't change the Apple ID that the Authorize dialog comes up with by default. It's showing you that Apple ID for a reason: it means that the items you want to play were purchased using that Apple ID and therefore you need to authorize your computer with that Apple ID. Changing the Apple ID given completely defeats the entire purpose.
    If you don't know the password to the given Apple ID, then you will no longer be able to play those items.

  • Purchased audiobooks disappeared after syncing with new MacBook Pro

    I had my iPhone synced with a Windows laptop which got really slow and decided to replace it with a MacBook Pro. In between the last sync with the laptop and the first sync with the MacBook Pro I had bought a couple of audiobooks through the iTunes Store. After syncing the iPhone with the new Macbook everything was fine except the audiobooks which we gone. Originally I thought it would work as with the apps from the AppStore that I could download them again free of charge by just giving my apple ID and password. However this was not the case. Can someone please help me with this as losing these audiobooks would suppose a more considerable loss of money compared to just apps.
    Thank you,
    Arne

    You should have transferred the purchases to your computer: File>Devices>transfer Purchases
    At this point, all you can do is contact itunes support, explain your situation, and hope they grant a redownload.

  • My iphone5 is not syncing with my macbook pro.

    My iphone5 is not syncing with my macbook pro.  Specifically the calendar.  it syncs with my iPad fine just not the laptop.  Suggestions?

    How do I upload my Microsoft Outlook to replace the Calendar and Contacts on Icloud?  My computer is Windows 7 and Microsoft Outlook 2007.  Icloud is all messed up and will not let me delete incorrect information.  It keeps saying it cannot delete because of server error.
    My iphone 4 and my computer are correct.  Only Icloud is wrong.  I have had to disable Icloud until I can figure out how to correct it.  If anyone knows what I should do, please let me know.
    Thanks.

  • Can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005.  What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

    can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005.  What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

    The first MacBook Pro's were not released until the beginning of 2006, and they had USB 2 ports.
    Anything available new in 2005 would have been a PowerBook G4 and they also had USB 2 ports.
    A USB 3 disk will just transfer data slower then it could do, if you plug it into a USB 2 port though, so you can buy either.

  • Where can I get Window's software for my Macbook Pro? I'm trying to run ARCview. However, it requires Windows. I'm trying Bootcamp. but, it isn't recognising the disk that I currently have.

    Where can I get Window's software for my Macbook Pro? I'm trying to run ARCview. However, it requires Windows. I'm trying Bootcamp. but, it isn't recognising the disk that I currently have.

    Maybe because it's not a 'genuine' retail version? Many OEM versions just don't work - and I've no idea which flavor of Win7 your friend downloaded. Obviously one that Boot Camp doesn't recognize. Best to just pony up the cash for a full retail version, of some flavor - and use it. You COULD, of course, download the 14-day trial version of Parallels Desktop and see if you can install Win7 as a virtual machine... it might or might not work. Boot Camp just isn't finding the resources it needs on the copy you have - try Parallels and if that doesn't work just purchase a retail (or student discounted) version.
