Need help syncing Tones from mac to iphone!!

How are you trying to get music on the phone, either via sync or manually manage music? And, what are you referring to when you say "in same order"?

Sync Phone with Mac

Hello,
I am converting from a PC to a Mac and I have a question about syncing my iPhone 3Gs to my Mac after it was already synced to a PC. I always used Outlook on the PC to sync and contacts. I will obviously start out with no contacts and no songs (and ringtones) on my Mac. How do I initially tell iTunes on the Mac that the data on my iPhone is correct and the information on the Mac is not the source? I don't want to loose ring tones that I paid for and do not want to have to retype contacts.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

You will need to transfer your iTunes library from your PC to your Mac - the iTunes named folder where all iTunes content is stored including 3rd party apps. If you live near an Apple store, the Apple store will help you with this along with transferring all other data from your PC that you will need or want to access on your Mac such as photos, documents, etc.
Before syncing contacts with the Address Book application and before syncing calendar events with iCal, enter one contact in the Address Book and one calendar event in iCal on your Mac. Make these up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for contacts and calendar events with the Address Book and iCal, which you want to select.

Help Syncing PC to Mac Calendars

I have recently acquired an iPhone. It is posing a little bit of a problem with my calendar system. I am Mac based at home but have a Dell Laptop with Windows XP at work. I use the Oracle Corporate Time calendar at work and iCal at home. Up to this point I have used a PalmVx to keep the calendars sync'd. With the addition of an iPhone it has become cumbersome and I am wondering if there might be a better way. Currently I use the Palm device as a go-between and the Mac is pared to the iPhone. Well this is a four step process. Can you recommend a way to eliminate the palm device so all I will need is my iPhone to keep my two computers sync'd? Corporate Time does not export well. Anything more elegant than my four step process?

I did this it is not hard but make sure you read carefully. Plugging in the iPod in to your Mac make sure that you don't make the Mac your primary computer to the iPod. Click on your iPod on the desktop and drag all of the music into iTunes. This should work

Calendar events are 8 hrs different after syncing phone to mac

Make sure that Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Time Zone Support is ON and set to the correct time zone, and that your Mac is also set to the correct time zone in System Preferences > Date & Time > Time Zone tab.

Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

HT4623 After getting message on my iPhone 4S to update to IOS6, I proceeded, it states my phone is up to date. However, when attempting to sync with my mac, Itunes does not recognize my device any longer and gives message that I must update Itunes. Did

Received a prompt to update my IPhone 4S to IOS6. I did this from phone. Then when syncing with my Mac/Itunes, it states my software is not up to date and I need to install new version of Itunes. I did this and it still is not recognizing my iPhone when syncing to ITunes. Also no longer can access mail as it states my Mac software is not up to date??? Help.

Which OS X version is your Mac running and which iTunes version is currently installed?

I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I followed the steps given and ended up with just email addresses showing in my contacts even though I have phone numbers and snail mail in my Outlook Contacts. Using Windows 7

I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I used the knowldge document and set it up to transfer my Outlook contacts to the iphone using itunes.
In contacts on the iphone I only see the email addresses.
Yet in Outlook I have email, snail mail and phone numbers.
I followed the knowledge document from iphone.
I did it once, didn't work so deleted all the contacts from the phone and tried again. Same result. I have a PC using Windows 7 64 bit.

You can't access an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac.
You can access a MM account with Outlook on your PC at work and keep your MM email account server stored mailboxes synced between your PC at work, your iPhone, and the MM "cloud". Not sure about syncing MM contact info and calendar events with Outlook at the same time with an Exchange account.
This will not provide for syncing your Exchange account contact info and calendar events with the Addresss Book and iCal on your Mac because the accounts are separate.
You can access an Exchange account and a MM account at the same time with the iPhone's mail client, and sync contact info and calendar events over the air with both accounts at the same time. You can view combined contact info or separately for each account, and the same for calendar events.

Syncing my two Macs... HELP!

Hello,
I am trying to learn how to keep my Macbook Pro and new iMac synced so both of my computers can be "on the same page" at all times. I want to keep everything synced. I have never used iSync before. Usually I have no problem using Mac software. However, I am not sure how to get this to work. I created a pair using the iSync but I am not sure how to turn on the Blue Tooth. Also, when I start iSync it says there are no devices even though I have set it up several times. It says that it's not connected on the Blue Tooth. I cannot figure out how to connect. I thought this would have to do with the Sharing so I went and turned on ALL of the sharing options for both computers. Is this necessary and will this allow other people to access my computer? When available I only allowed my name and administrators. I don't want to create a security risk, I just want to sync my macs. Please help!

The problem is that iSync is not for syncing Macs. It is for syncing Contacts and Calendars between a single Mac and supported third-party mobile phones and PDAs.
No matter how hard you try, you cannot add a Mac as a device in iSync.
MobileMe will keep your Contacts, Calendars, Emails, Bookmarks etc. in sync across multiple Macs.
The forums for MobileMe are here: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=116
For keeping files in sync have a look at ChronoSync (google it).

Hi there, suddenly I can't send email from my iphone. I use mac mail, have deleted it, restored it, done a sync to my mac book, read endless help paged and still get the message *unable to connect to smtp.me.mail . Some one please help!!!

Does anyone know why my mac/me mail would suddenly stop sending mail? Happend a few weeks back since the software update and now won't send a thing. LIke I said I deleted the acount, set it up again, did a sync to my mac book, checked settings again and still it wont send mail. Received fine.
I've looked through the threads but cant find one for me/mac mail on the iphone with same problem

I spoke with Apple Support this morning and they believe anything MobileMe related is due to the conversion over to iCloud that's taking place.
As for other email clients, check with your host to see if settings have changed on their end. I use inmotionhosting.com and over the weekend the updated their outgoing requirements so that a password authentication is now needed.
Hope that helps get some on the right path to resolving their issues!

No not bothered about sycing apps etc it is all about calendars and maybe notes. IN terms of how its done I just want it the easiest way and preferably so that if an entry is made on one calendar then it populates the other.
Thgius is beacuse I have my work diary on outlok, which I then link with my ical. I want to make sure that information is then shared with her.

IPad and IPhone synced to different PCs how do I get the same music on both devices? I used one PC to put CDs on ITunes but these don't appear on the phone which syncs to the Mac.

I have 1 ITunes account but my IPad is synced to a Windows PC to download CDs onto my IPad and the Iphone is synced to the Mac. I was hoping that the CDs I'd put on the IPad from the Windows PC would automatically appear on my IPhone when both these devices were sharing the same Wi-Fi at home. This didn't really work very well and I've been left with the CDs showing on the list on my phone but when I try to play them, the different tracks keep scrolling fast and not playing. I've tried deleting them from the IPhone, but they just seem to retreat to ICloud.
I've tried syncing the phone to the windows PC but this has just resulted in an error and I think this may be what has screwed the music up on my phone. I would just like to be able to listen to my CDs on my phone.
Has anyone come across this before and resolved it?
Thanks

Terminology check here. Do you really mean a "CD"? There's a difference in Cloud behavior between content from a physical CD you ripped (which only has Cloud content if you have iTunes Match) and an "album" you bought from the iTunes Store.
Read references for Home Sharing.
iTunes: How to share music and video - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2688 - about Music Sharing and Home Sharing
Home Sharing Support page - http://www.apple.com/support/homesharing/
iOS: Setting up Home Sharing on your device - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4557 - "With Home Sharing in iOS 4.3 or later, you can stream your entire iTunes library over your home Wi-Fi network from your Mac or PC right to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch."
The above can get pretty complicated. You are probably best off by syncing both devices to a single library and/or updating the libraries on both computers to have the same content.

You will have to put your phone into recovery mode and restore the phone as new. Since you don't have a back up, you will lose all the data on your phone but you will be able to use it again.
