Facetime call between Macbook and Iphone 4 failing.

I'm using OSX 10.6.4 and placing a facetime call to an Iphone 4 using iOS 4.1. The call goes through and connects and we are able to talk for 15 seconds or so. Then it freezes and I get a call failed notification. Any fixes for this? My firewall is off by the way.

Not sure what the fix is. I believe the FaceTime app for the Mac remains a BETA.
If the firewall off with the wi-fi network the iPhone 4 is using as well, or the ports required are available and not being blocked with the wi-fi network the iPhone 4 is using?

How to sync Ibooks between Macbook and iPhone?

Hi, doesn't anyone knwos how to sync my library between Iphone and Macbook?
Thanks
Carlo

I created an empty collection in iBooks on my MacBook, then synced with my iPad, and nothing seemed to happen. I did the Home button double-click on the iPad, killed iBooks, then went back to the MacBook and synced again. The new collection then showed up on the iPad. Might help.
...and from another thread: Select a book or collection in iBooks and press the Delete key to delete it. There will be a warning/Cancel/OK dialog.

Sync email between macbook and iphone

When I delete emails on my macbook and then sync my iphone, why do emails deleted on my macbook still appear on my iphone?

Synching mail on a computer and an iPhone doesn't synch the actual mail, but rather the account settings.
As to why you're deleting emails on your macbook and yet still seeing them on your phone is that you most likely have a POP account, and not an IMAP or Exchange. This is a function of the type of mail account you have, not of the synching between the phone and computer.

Notes won't sync between MacBook and iPhone/iPad

I have my MacBook, iPhone (5S), and iPad (Air) all set up to use the same iCloud account but some of the notes won't stay in sync between the MacBook and IOS devices. Both of the IOS devices stay in sync with each other, but changes I add on the IOS devices doesn't sync to the MacBook and changes on the MacBook don't sync to the IOS devices. Any ideas? I am a new Mac user and can't figure this out. I have read many of the related forums and the answer is almost always "they won't sync if the notes aren't in the iCloud folder" but that isn't my problem. The notes are in the iCloud folder but still won't sync.
Any ideas?!

Back up any notes on your Mac that have not been synced to your other devices by opening each note clicking that arrow icon on the bottom right, choosing email this note, then email it to yourself. When you're done, go to System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, uncheck Notes, restart your Mac, then go back and check Notes again. Then add a new test note on your Mac and confim that it syncs to iCloud now. If so, recreate any missing notes by copying and pasting the text from the emails you sent earlier into new notes created in the iCloud account.

File sharing between Macbook and iPhone 5s? AirDrop or bluetooth

Just purchased my first Macbook ever! I'm catching on quickly however I've run into a snag with file sharing between my other Apple devices.
How can I pair and send files between my MBA and iPhone 5s?
I've made the change in system preferences to allow file sharing, yet still pops up on my iPhone that my MBA doesn't support this.
Also I've enabled Airdrop on both devices yet I can't seem to get that to work as well. Any help or advice would be appreciated. I would love to be able to easily send pictures or documents from my MBA to my iPhone 5s via Airdrop and vice versa.
Thanks in advance

Regarding AirDrop, note the quotation below from: iOS: Use AirDrop to wirelessly share content
You can't use AirDrop on iOS to share with OS X users, and OS X users can't use AirDrop to share with iOS devices.
The iPhone has limited bluetooth profiles and the only supportde connection between an iPhone and a computer is for tethering (sharing the iPhones cellular data connection). iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles

Creating a local wifi network between macbook and iphone

Hi there
I'm in a hotel and want to move some files to my iphone, but the computer I have isn't my synching machine. I would like to create a wifi network that the iphone and the macbook can both join. I also have an older airport express on hand, and am using Snow Leopard on a newer macbook pro.
I've tried creating a wifi network on the macbook and joining from the iphone, but the iphone can't see the network even when specified manually.
I've also tried making a network with the airport express, but the same thing happens as with the macbook.
I feel like this should be do-able, but I'm missing something. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I have been trying this for days now without success! I seem to create a computer to computer network ok (although I dont know if I should use dhcp or dhcp with manual or manual ip setting..??), and my iphone recognises the wifi name I give it.... but shows a different ip address!
and when I try the desired app (iosc), it doesnt seem to be transmitting any iosc data to my max/msp patch. Is there a simple test to check if the iphone is actually connecting ? - even though the ip addresses are different (weird!?)..
any help very much appreciated...

ICloud not synchronizing tabs between MacBook and iPhone

Okay so first off, hello! And let me start by saying that I found a topic about this from September last year. This did, however, not help me at all. Anyway so, apparently my tabs is not synchronizing between my iPhone 5 and MacBook Pro anymore. The last time it synchronized was six days ago on the 20th, and I know that because there's a tab I can open on my computer that takes me to a topic that was written that exact day and has date and time stamp. I noticed, however, that a tab I opened this morning on my iPad HAS synchronized with my iPhone... So I really haven't got a single clue what is going on but I am getting extremely annoyed that it hasn't synchronized for a week now!
And no, private browsing is NOT enabled on my phone OR my computer, so that's definitely not it. I've never had it enabled anyway, but yes I have checked just to be sure, and it's disabled. So I really don't know what is going on, and I'd really like to have this fixed. Again, a tab i opened on my iPad this morning has synchronized with my phone and not with my computer. So I'm guessing it's my computer there's something wrong with?
If anyone could help, I'd be very happy!
Thanks,
Maya

Make sure all your iOS devices and your Mac are signed into the same iCloud account, and that your iOS devices have Safari set to On in Settings>iCloud, and that your Mac has Safari checked in System Preferences>iCloud. If your settings are correct and open tabs in Safari on your Mac are not listed in iCloud tabs on your iOS devices (and vice versa), go to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Safari, restart your Mac, wait a minute or so, then recheck Safari. See if this resolves things.

Hotmail not syncing between MacBook and iPhone/iPad

I'm 3 days into my new MacBook Pro, which replaced a PC laptop running Outlook. With my old system, I coud check my Hotmail account in Outlook, and the messages would no longer be marked as new on my iPhone/iPad, and vice versa. With the MacBook, my iCloud email syncs well between all three devices. My Hotmail remains in sync between my iPhone & iPad, but not on my MacBook. Is there any way to fix this?

No, Hotmail can only be accessed via POP3 on your Mac. Pop accounts do not synchronize. Microsoft provide Active Sync services on a mobile device but chose not to for Macs.

IMessage not syncing between MacBook and iPhone

Normally, my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.4.9 w/ standard hardware) and my iPhone (iPhone 5 running iOS 7.1.2) sync iMessages perfectly. Recently, I turned my MacBook off for the weekend and was messaging solely through my iPhone. When I turned my MacBook on again and launched iMessage, I noticed that the conversations were not synced between the computer and phone.
I've already tried the fix suggested here, and I got the notification, but the conversations didn't update.
All messages sent since the MacBook was turned on again have synced between both the phone and computer, but messages sent during the weekend only appear on my phone (the device used to send them). Any suggestions?

Hi,
You are leaving conversation "open" (still displayed) in Messages when you Quit ?
If you closed off all the chats and conversations in Messages you will need to re-connect to the people involved for the app to then display the previous part of the conversation.

How do I turn off imessage between macbook and iPhone?

I just recently got a MacBook air for Christmas I set it all up and am now noticing that all my messages from my iphone are syncing to my MacBook, (iMessage). I use the same apple Id for my iphone as I do for my macbook (because I don't like having tons of usernames or emails), I just don't want my imessages going to my computer when I am not on my computer, or when someone else is using my computer.

I didn't want to remove my whole apple Id because then I would have to make a new apple ID. but I figured it out from what you suggested only I went to messages > preferences > accounts and unclicked my phone number where it suggested I could be reached at. Thank you!
Nevermind I thought it worked I guess I will just have to log out of my computer every time I leave it or let someone use it

ICal synch between MacBook and iPhone using iCloud

when I create an event in iCal it synchs to my iPhone via iCloud but, when I create an event in iCal using integration with Mail, the event does not show up on iPhone.

At present you have to upload iWork documents manually to iCloud. It's possible that this may be addressed in a future upgrade either (or both) to iWork and the operating system, though there has been no announcement on this.
Once uploaded from a Mac, you cannot download again until the document has been edited on an iOS device. If you want to keep documents or two Macs in sync you would be better off with Dropbox or SugarSync.

Timeline/moments out of sync between macbook and iPhone

I have many old photos which where scanned in periodically throughout the past 10 years. They were showing up dispersed throughout the timeline, showing up at the date and time that I scanned them in. This was super annoying since the Moments view was hard to peruse since it had so many photos thrown in out of time.
I finally got all my scanned photos modified to an arbitrary point of jan 1 1990 by using the "Adjust Date and Time..." command. Now they all are nicely tucked up at the top of the Moments view.
The problem arises when I sync my iPhone using the iTunes 'Sync Photos' option (I'm not using iCloud at all for my personal set up). The photos sync over but it completely disregarded the arrangement I had set within Photos for Mac. I un-synced and tried again, still same problem: they were all dispersed into the Moments timeline according to date/time of scan.
Whats even crazier is that I even used the SetFile terminal command to manually set all metadata 'Created Date' to jan 1 1990. I cleared the phone and re-synced. Still same problem! It somehow kept the old scan dates, which completely muddies up my Moments timeline.
I'd say this is a bug needing reporting to Apple unless some one out there can show me my mistake, and maybe its really simple.
Thanks in advance,
cheers,
-Davis

Welcome to the iView Forum. You're in the wrong forum for your problem. This is the iPhoto forum and you want either the iTunes or iPod forum.

How do I selectively sync contacts between MacBook and iPhone?

I see several posts mentioning select groups, etc. in iTunes. But when I enter the "Info" tab in iTunes, the only option (radio button) available is "All contacts;" "Select groups" is greyed out.
Wait - my MacBook Pro's Addressbook doesn't seem to allow me to create any group to start with. Any pointers?

This is most likely an OS X Address Book question.

How to sync todos and memo between Mac and iPhone

Hello!
On my MacBook there are todos and memos in the Mail.app, on the iPhone, I found todos and memos too, but no way to sync this between MacBook and iPhone.
Peter

This is a possibility. But please be aware using your Mac to emit a WiFi connection is a temporary solution. And it will get a short range unlike an actual WiFi Router. Also you may find it to be unstable at times. The Airport Card in your Mac was not designed to be a full time Router WiFi emitter. But more of a receiver to get the signal and use it for personal use.
1. Unlock the network on your Mac make it an open network
2. Go to your iPhone, Settings-Wireless-Tap on blue circle next to network name, Choose Forget network
3. Now go back, It will rescan and find an open network, Connect, and see if Safari works
If Safari works, Then you had a Security issue. Try using WEP 128 bit 13 character passkey or WEP 8 Character Passkey.
Cheers and best of luck

Does Apple facetime work between at &t iPhone in US and an iPod touch in India?
I am currently staying in US and planning to buy an iPod touch here and send it to my parents in India, so that I can facetime with them. But i am not sure if facetime works between AT&T iPhone 4 and the iPod touch which is going to be in India. Is there any one who has done this actually? Thanks

Yes. It would only not work in some countries tha prohibit FT. India is not one of those.
