Help getting tabs to sync between mac and tablet

I have tabs that refuse to sync consistently, if at all between my Mac with 10.9 and an Android tablet 4.2. I have current versions of the apps.
I have tried creating a new account to verify, I've tried reinstalling both on both machines.
Sometimes, it might finally resolve itself if I leave it overnight, like it's incredibly slow. I try manually syncing, letting it do it's own thing...
I don't get what I am doing wrong.
For reference, When I sign in to google chrome on both devices, it's instant, or damn near, and doesn't stop being that way from the first sync. Very solid in terms of syncing tabs and such.
This FF sync deal I just can't get to work worth a crap and it's disappointing. I'd like to keep using FF as I love the bookmarking capabilities (something google refuse to address), but I do so much research for school and I have grown to rely on this feature a great deal.
I hope someone can tell me what I am doing wrong!

If it works when you leave it overnight, perhaps you need to reduce the intervals between the syncs?
These might be the preferences you need to adjust: https://wiki.mozilla.org/QA/Sync/Client/Sync_Timers

Cannot get messages to sync between mac and iphone

Just upgraded to the 5s, my iMessages now has my old Apple ID stored (thought the rest of the phone has the current apple ID) and will not let me change it to so it syncs properly with my Mac (using the up to date ID). Every time I try to get messages to send through the Apple ID, it tries to make me sign into the old ID, but does not give me a chance to change to the current ID. Any advice on how to do this?
Thank you!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

Syncing between mac and windows

I have an issue where I have created files in Adobe Draw (and previously in Ideas) which I have then saved to the Creative Cloud. I open these files in Illustrator on my Mac, save them back to the cloud then open them on a Windows PC. When I save these files on the PC, I get the Unable to Sync Files error message. I have gone through these solutions Error: "Unable to sync files" but no solution applies. If I create a file on my PC, it syncs fine. Is there a known issue when sharing files between Mac and Windows? I can save the files to Dropbox or email them and I don't have this issue. Thanks

ITunes 7 - syncing between Mac and PC using network

I thought there was an announcement today that Apple had made it easier to copy your iTunes library between Mac and PC with or without using an iPod.
I have not been able to find such an option in the iTunes 7 menus on my mac or pc. I could copy the library using standard network file copy, but then I would lose the playlists and settings.
Anybody know the new way to copy/sync a mac and pc itunes library while keeping playlists and settings?

Welcome to Apple Discussions, saucyandbossy
If your family uses Windows® and has or will add the latest version of AIM® to their PC, launch iChat on your Mac, add their buddy name(s) (AIM Screen Name) to your iChat Buddy List, and contact them like you would any other iChat contact. If you need help adding buddy names, search your Mac's iChat > Help for "Adding people to the buddy list" (without the quotation marks).
If your family has problems setting up or using AIM®, or if they choose not to use it, both you and your family can download and install your respective versions of Skype and use Skype as your cross-platform video chat application. Skype offers comprehensive help at their website, including a dedicated Skype Forum. For those who have trouble connecting iChat and AM® (some do), Skype currently seems to offer the easiest to use, free, cross-platform video chat connections.

Photos not syncing between Mac and iPhone since update to Photos on Mac.

Ever since I updated to Photos on my Late 2013 macbook pro retina, photos are not syncing between it and my iPhone 6. Both are updated to the most recent software update. Photo stream is on. Does anyone have this problem or know a solution?

You will have to go the the Photos tab in iTunes when you connect the iPhone. Then reset the photo sync options. They were reset with the upgrade to use iCloud by default, but you can change the settings back to sync folders, just like before.

How can I get an audiobook's playback position synced between Mac and iPhone?

I have several Audible audiobooks, both on my iMac and on my iPhone. I listen to the audiobook on either the computer or the phone, depending on the circumstances. Both the iMac and the iPhone will independently remember the playback position within the audiobook, but I cannot get them to sync those playback positions to each other. So if I'm on chapter 2 on the iMac, listen for a couple of hours, and end at chapter 4, then the Mac will remember the correct playback position when I return to the book, but if I sync the iPhone to the Mac, and check the audiobook on the phone, it is still at the playback position it was the last time I listened to the book on the phone. Should the playbook position in the audiobook sync when the phone is synced to the computer via iTunes? I've tried both wired and wireless syncs, and that doesn't seem to make a difference on my case. Should this work, and if so, is there a particular setting that I'm missing?

I am tracking the movement of various objects by subtracting the current image from the previous image and displaying the result. Anything that moves is white and anything that doesn't is black. I then have vision assistant give me a list of particles and their pixel positions based on certain criteria. I then use the data from my two cameras pointing at 45 degrees inward in order to triangulate the object's 3-D position in space (this takes a few steps). Then I use the frame rate of the camera and the scalar distance between an object in multiple frames to determine its scalar and vector velocities. All of this is done in real time.
I was originally having issues with the pixel positions but have since wrote a vi that interprets a matrix of the pixel positions which then feeds them into my position/velocity vi.
The vi I attached is built to work with my "bitflow alta frame grabber" so feel free to ask questions if anything is not understood.
My new task has been to develop a way to only track one object at a time, and have that object be the same object in both cameras.
Questions or comments welcomed

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)

Trying to get video chat working between mac and pc

im trying to get video chat working between a mac and pc
pc-running xp with aim 6.0

we can not audio or video chat
any help would be great
thanks santini

Hi Z,
Lets check the Port Forwarding at your end.
Does this Zyxel have UPnP at all ?
If so use that and disable the Port Forwarding.
If not then these ports need to be forwarded.
I will list with Protocols as some device need these.
TCP 5190 for AIM Login and text chats (can be substituted for 443)
TCP 5220, 5222 and 5223 for Jabber (the last is for OS X servers and GoogleTalk)
TCP 5298 this is part of the Bonjour set up for iChat if you have other Macs
UDP 5060 this is for the SIP negotiation that iChat needs
UDP 5678 this is where the visible invites come and go out on.
UDP 5190 for AIM file sending and Group chats
UDP 16384-16403 This group of 20 ports is where any Audio or Video chat takes place.
As the 443 port is below 1024 (the NAT threshold) you should not have to Forward this.

Imessage is not syncing between mac and iphone?

My Imessage is not working with my iphone and mac, I can either send from my mac or my iphone they are not working as one like the website says it should, any help would be great.
Thanks

To solve this problem make sure:
Your Messages App on your Mac is signed in using your Apple ID.
iMessages is enabled on your iPhone.
iMessages on your iPhone is logged in using your Apple ID.
Your Caller ID in iMessages on your iPhone is set to your email address.
The person you are sending messages to also uses iMessages.
Lastly, you may have to begin a new conversation with the person to get them to sync.

To Do Items Syncing Between Mac and iPhone

Is there a way to since my To Do Items between my mac and iPhone? If not is there an Application that I can sync my To Do Items? Is there a way to Sync my Notes? Right now I am putting my To Do's in my iCall but it will be good to have a separate section for To Do's not on iCal.
Thanks,

Hi
I have also posed the same question. I have researched this over the past few weeks and it appears that Apple have decided NOT to Sync Mail Notes with the iPhone or iPod Touch. Sadly, the same is true with the new MobileMe service.
I suggest that people send Apple some feedback and request that they Sync Mail Notes. We need people to send a clear message to Apple.

Syncing between Mac and iPhone doesn't work

I recently upgraded to Mavericks and after that syncing my Mac with my iPhone 5S doesn't work.
I would like to report syncing bookmarks, contacts, calendars and notes not syncing as a bug, because i find the decision to force me into the cloud to sync these so stupid that I could as well have been using Windows.
However, nothing else syncs properly. There seems to be a random function deciding which podcasts, iTunes U content etc. that syncs. If I press the sync button several times I get different results every time.
Does anyone else experience the same thing? Is there a workaround or is it just bad programming from Apples side?

Hi. Is the iPhone still connected to the WiFi when you separate them? The iPhone must be connected to WiFi for FaceTime to work.

IMessage not syncing between mac and iphone

I recently upgraded to Mavericks (10.9.3) and iMessages no longer sync between my iPhone and my Mac Pro. I've checked the Support data base as well as Google and have followed the recommendations to check preferences on all devices and to restart all devices, but that doesn't seem to have solved the problem. Messages being sent from my iPhone 4S simply don't show up on my Mac. Can anyone provide assistance/ideas??

Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
and on the iPhone:
Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
Then, on the phone, tap
Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.

Looking for a sound editing app I can sync between Mac and iPod Touch

I have old interviews I conducted as part of an old job. I want to put them on to my new iPod Touch to listen to while traveling. Since I am only interested in specific topics and passages I need to bookmark where in these hours-long interviews these passages are.
I can get these interviews from my Mac into my Touch easily with iTunes, but I cannot bookmark or make notations in iTunes. There is a plethora of apps that will playback and edit/bookmark sound files for the Touch, but all of the ones I have found will only do this for files recorded with that app and they will only upload or email to my Mac but not send files from Mac to the Touch.
If anyone has any thoughts on an app I have missed or a work around I would be forever grateful.

LAN Manager authentication level was already set to "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated" according to a web tutorial. I changed it to the option you recommended above.
Still, only the public folder is visible.
By the way - this is a brand new install of Windows 7. Almost nothing has been altered from its stock just-installed state.
It is connected to my Mac via a cat-6 ethernet cable which is plugged into my Mac Pro's second ethernet port. I did this because the PC is a Maya workstation, and I do not want to slow it down by installing all of our corporation's IT-required software that slows our systems down. It is not connected to the open internet in any way - just file sharing to my Mac.
My Mac is 192.168.123.130, the Win7 box is 192.168.123.132. Both have a subnet of 255.255.255.0 and a gateway of 192.168.123.130. I am UNABLE to ping the PC from the Mac. I am ABLE to ping the Mac from the PC.
