Contacts - data sync anomalies between Mac and iPhone4

Hi does anybody know definitively what fields are transferred from a Mac to an iPhone? It seems the iPhone does not support some of the fields that you might have filled in on the Mac. I've read of others having issues but there seems to be differing accounts of what comes over and what doesn't. Some say addresses don't come over,- they do for me but the fields where you can type names don't.
thanks
Simon

I am having the exact same problem as above. Except that my Mac OS is more recent: 10.5.6 Leopard....
Please help!
Thanks

How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud

How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud?
I bought a new iPhone and i would like to copy my Safari's bookmarks from my iMac (OS X 10.10.3) to my new iPhone (iOS 8.3).
How to do this, without iCloud?

You might be able to use Google Calendar to do what you want. Set up a Google account on the web, set up the MacBook to access the Google account, including calendar, then set up the iPhone the same way. While I'm using MAvericks, I am also using Google to manage my calendar, since I don't particularly *like* iCloud... And I came from Android to iPhone, but I haven't like iCloud since it was called MobileMe.
Oh, and as for sync to iTunes, can't you just use a direct conenction to the computer (either WiFi or cable) to keep the music in control?

Sync issues between Mac and Mobile Me

Hi all,
I'm having issues syncing between MobileMe and my Macbook Pro. It used to work perfectly, but I haven't been able to get it to sync since early August. All the changes I make between my iPhone and MobileMe work fine, but they just wont update with any changes I make on my Macbook. Equally, changes made on iPhone or MobileMe don't show on my laptop anymore.
I've tried force syncs and resetting sync data (and transferring info from MobileMe) but none work. Is there anything else I can try?
Thanks,

You should ask in the MobileMe forums as this forum (iSync) has nothing to do with syncing Macs to MobileMe.

Real-Time Data Sync-up between Oracle and MS SQL Server

Hi All,
I am looking for a solution to sync-up the data between Oracle and MS SQL Server in real time. Here, the structure of table is different (in the sense, the data in multiple table in SQL Server should be combined and put it in a single table in Oracle and vice versa).
Could anybody throw light on this plz?
Thanks in advance!

Sync tool between mac and windows

Hello there,
Is there any software that allows to sync files between a windows machine and a mac?
Thanks
Philip

www.dropbox.com
Dropbox gives you 2GB of space and will sync files to both Windows & Mac OS X machines. I use it to keep files I need for work synched between my MacBook, iMac and Windows 7 and XP machines. Works like a dream. Any file changes made when not connected to the internet will sync at the next connect, and it does a decent job of managing conflicts.

Google cal sync issues between mac and iPhone?

Just noticed this morning that my iphone is not syncing with my mac calendar and google calendar, but only for past events with just one specific calendar? I seemed to have lost all the previous events up through today for that specific cal? New events seem to be created OK, but if I change the event to a different calendar on my iphone, it duplicates it on my mac and google calendar showing the event in bith the original cal and the one I swithched it to. I checked google sync and cal div and all the appropriate calendars are selected. I did also have icloud cal selected on my iphone which I unchecked. I just updated to 10.8.2 on my mac a few days ago and it got hung up during install...had to hard restart the mac. Dont know if that could have something to do with it? Anyone else having issues with this?

Pages sync function between Mac and iPhone

I decided to get Pages to sync between my iPhone and my Macbook Pro because of the feature that lets me continue typing on my phone when I can't use my laptop. But I want to know if, when I make a document, does my phone need constant internet connection or does it just kind of download it to the phone and updates when I look for it on my computer?
I'm basically asking if my data bill will reflect me using this feature or can I not worry past the initial download.
Thanks

I have been doing some reading on the Apple site, and they do not explicitly state that Pages on IOS 8.1 autosaves. I have my suspicions that it does.
I don't have IOS 8.1 installed here, but a simple test can be revealing. Open the same document from iCloud drive on your phone, and on your Mac in Pages v5.5. Make changes to the document on your phone. Don't attempt to quit the application. Do the changes automatically update after a short delay on Pages v5.5? If they do, then you know that the phones network connection is utilized — likely with Wi-Fi priority over your carrier data plan.
Do not confuse iCloud Drive document availability on participating networked Apple devices as the Handoff feature. I still believe for that to automatically work, it would require Bluetooth enabled on both devices, and local proximity to one another.

Ouldn't sync Ibook between mac and IPad after upgrade to X10.9

Couldn't sync the ibook after after the OS to X10.9

hi dan,
well, from what i've read, it says every time i sync and after it goes over some memory quota, apparently it starts to charge for every sync, etc.
what do you think?
and i am thinking OTA refers to "over the air" right? (guessing!)
thank you!

Syncing photos between ios and Mac

Hi
How to sync photos between Mac and ios .. iPhoto is confusing .. If I create an album on Mac and share it to ios
Through iTunes I won't be able to add or delete photos to it with ios which is strange .. If I use photo stream album
Created on ios I won't be able to add photos for them with my Mac so how to do such a simple task with iPhoto ?

Not sure what you're asking here. The only connection between iphoto for mac and iPhoto for iOS is a name. Other than that they have nothing in common. So, no you can't manage albums created on your Mac with iPhoto for iOS and vice versa.
iPhoto Menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback

Is there a way to sync my saved user ids and passwords between Mac and iPhone using iCloud?

Is there a way to sync my saved user ids and passwords in Safari between Mac and iPhone using iCloud? Like I can do using Chrome for Mac and iOS...

You three would do better to sync to google directly. Google has a blackberry app that will allow you to sync your contacts and calendars. The app isn't perfect, but it works reasonably well, especially if you're just using one calendar to sync.
Then there's plenty of ways to sync those to your iPad using Google, including Exchange, or simply adding it as a google account.
As for iCloud, there really isn't any supported or unsupported method to do what you're trying to do, at least at this time. If there is, it would definitely be a hack and I would be wary of risking your contact or calendar data on it..

ICloud doesn't sync between mac and iPhone...

Hello all. I have an iphone 4 and I macbook pro which I have just upgraded the OS to OSX Mountain lion.
I have never really made use of icloud before, but intend to start using it as I intend to get an ipad soon.
I have gone into icloud on both my mac and iphone and ticked on everything for icloud. However,nothing seems to really sync. My notes don't go between devices. As far as I can tell neither do my photos.
The only large file on my icloud seems to be backups. However, the only thing in this folder seems to be the back up folder...which only seems to contain infinitiy blade data.
Any help as to where I'm going wrong?
regards,
Matt

I don't want to trust the iCloud, so I want to sync my PERSONAL Notes on my iPhone (4) just with my iMAC (via iTunes), and not saved in iCloud.
Yes iCloud is great for syncing/saving common data, but I want to choose what I sync and if I choose not to save in icloud than I want to have the possibility to save it elsewhere.
Now with Mountain Lion it is not possible anymore to sync between my iPhone and iMac
More and more companies are going to say/dictate "This and this is good for you!"
Please Apple, take your Customers serious and let themselve choose what good for them is!
Thanks in advance!!
P.S.,
if there Apple-Customers who have a solution for syncing Notes between MountainLion and iOS please reply! (Thanks)

ITunes: How can I sync my podcasts between Macs and iDevices?

Hi,
Using iTunes for a decade now, I still having the same problem that I don't know how to solve:
How can I sync my podcasts subscriptions and play states between Macs and iDevices?
I am having two MPBs and one iMac, as well as an iPhone and iPad (yes, making someone rich in California), all of them are linked to the same iTunes/Apple account, they are not in the same Wifi.
What I would like to have that all these iTunes (plural) have the same Podcasts with the same played/unplayed states...
Is there any way to do that now, possible with iCloud? I am completely confused now that they have introduced podcast.app for iDevices...
Thank you for any idea for good solution!

From what I can tell, the Podcast app should do for your iOS devices what you're describing--as long as they all use the same Apple ID. Here's an article with some helpful information about the app:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5295
To keep your subscriptions in sync across all devices, the article says this:
"To subscribe to a podcast on your device, tap the Subscribe button from the podcast provider's page from the Podcast catalog. Enable subscription syncing to keep your subscription up-to-date across your iOS devices. On your iOS device tap Settings > Podcasts > Sync Subscriptions > ON.
To sync playback position, the article says this:
"Playback Sync automatically allows you to sync your playback position to all of your iOS devices with the Podcasts app installed, using your Apple ID. In order for Playback Sync to sync your playback position, you must be signed in to the iTunes Store using the same Apple ID on your iOS devices."
As for keeping playback position on your iOS devices in sync with iTunes on your Macs, you'll need iTunes 11 on all your Macs. So if you're still using iTunes 10 or earlier, you'll need to run a software update to get the latest version. Incidentally, I came across this discussion, which offers some helpful setup/troubleshooting tips about using this new podcast playback syncing feature:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4555757
Hope this is helpful!
