I am setting up a new iMac and need help syncing files to Dropbox. On my old computer I had it set where when I saved a document, it was saved on my hard drive, as well as to a folder in Dropbox. I can't remember how I set this up. Any help?

The way that Dropbox works is that it keeps a copy of all your files in your local Dropbox folder on your hard drive (which is, by default, directly under your home folder). Adding files to that folder will sync them to the Dropbox server.
You do of course have to download the Dropbox application to enable this (download link at the top right of http://dropbox.com ).

Help syncing iphone to new MacBook Pro

I got a MacBook Pro for Christmas, and I need help syncing my iPhone to it without losing my pictures, contacts, and music. I already wirelessly shared my iTunes library to from my old mac to the new one. Is there a way to sync my phone to the new computer and transfer my pictures and contacts and the rest of the stuff on my phone to it without losing it all? Or since I wirelessly shared my iTunes library, will my back up still be available?

There is no phone number for itunes store support.
Just copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to the new one.
You can also transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases

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.

I need help syncing my computer outlook email (through Yahoo) with my iphone. When I delete an email on my computer it is still in my inbox on my phone. Please help.

Your computer is probably set up to access your Yahoo mail using POP3. POP3 does not synchronize with the server. For full synchronization, you will need to use IMAP instead. See the Yahoo mail help pages for instructions on how to configure your mail client.

ITunes iClould help - syncing and accounts

We have at our house one PC (Windows Vista) and we (family of 5) have always just used one AppleID. We have two iPhone 4's since June, three iPod Touchs (newest gen), an older nano and shuffle. That's our current set-up. We have had our own playlists and settings, etc. Everything was fine. Since going to iCloud - iOS5, now our contacts are merged, each of our apps are on everyone else's device and the syncing is continuously making it hard to get back to where we were.
I starting looking into different users on PC, but my first question is, will iTunes sync with all the different users at once or will it on sync with the user that is logged in? I really don't want to set-up 5 users on my PC, especially for 3 kids.
Second questions. How do you edit your contact groups once on iCloud? I had a group called "golf" that was synced and now on my wife's phone. I deleted all the contacts in it and on Outlook and it will not go away. Can one delete it off iCloud? It seems once something is there it will not remove it. We have edited, synced, turned syncing of contacts on and off and it won't go away.
Can I set-up five different AppleID's on a single computer? If so, can all five share the same music and video library? From what I have read it can only be done through five user accounts. What about if one user buys a song, will it be in the library of all the others? Then Home Sharing only works with one ID from what I see. So if I have five accounts and purchase another computer I have to have five users on the new computer. Please help. I bought Apple for the ease of use and this is getting very complicated.
We were playing around with Find Friends thinking it would be great skiing this year, but since my wife and I are on the same AppleID we cannot track each other and only one person can use it at time.
It seems to me Apple is pushing each user in the family to have their own computer and ID.
Hopefully someone can please help me have peace again in the house (Mom and Dad with iPhones and 3 kids with Touch's one on PC). What is the best set-up to fit our needs?
Thank you,
Ben

I've read that article numerous times, and I'm trying to upgrade because MobileMe is requiring OS4 in order to work starting in about a month. However, the status box in iTunes hangs, saying Backing up iPhone...the little blue line only goes about 1/20 across the bar in about 1.5 hours. Any advice? (I have an up-to-date version of iTunes.)

Help syncing multiple Ipods

I have several questions I need to get answered before I have a war on Christmas morning.
1. I bought 2 kids new Ipods for Christmas which will be used on the same PC. How do I sync 2 Ipods on the same PC with out the chance of them deleting each others libraries?
2. I bought the wife a new Ipod classic and Iphone so I get her old 2nd gen Ipod. How do I sync the new Ipod to her existing library which is on her own laptop? Then how do I keep her music on the old Ipod and sync it to my personal itunes without losing all my music on my laptop?
Any and all help will be appreciated
Dale

There are basically two methods for managing multiple iPods on one computer. See here:
Method 1 - Create different Windows users accounts for each iPod on this computer.
Method 2 - Create a playlist in iTunes for each iPod.
To make Method 2 work, connect one of your iPods, and click on it in the left-source panel.
Under the "Music" tab, and set your option for a specific playlist(s) under the "Sync Music" option.
Do the same with your other iPod; not connected at the same time as the other one, though.
For more details on this matter, check out Apple's Support article about it:
How to manage multiple iPods using one computer
I hope that helps you.

Need help syncing 4 ipods on one computer

Currently we have an Ipod touch, and three ipod nanos' (various generations). The touch is synced on a laptop, two of the nanos are synced on the kids' computer and a new nano is on its way to us now via the apple online store. What I want to do is put all of the ipods on our PC. Not everyone has the same music interest but some songs will be the same in each library. What is the best way to do this. ALSO, my husband and I use one Itunes account while the kids use another.
I have heard I should create user accounts on our PC for everyone and manage each Ipod through each account but I do not want duplicates of songs taking up space so I was told to create a shared library (just not sure how to do that)
I have also heard I should use one account and use playlists within that account to sync each ipod. This seems to be the easiest thing to do but wonder if it will work if we have two different itunes accounts.
Also will I be able to move my apps for my itouch over to the PC (they are on the laptop now) Thanks for any help you can provide.

Click here for options. The number of iTunes Store accounts doesn't matter unless it's more than five, but the number of libraries does. To transfer the applications, hook up the iPod touch and choose to transfer them from the dialog box which appears or the File menu in iTunes.

Help syncing new iPad with Outlook 2007 on my PC and Blackberry Tour 9630

I have searched for answers and am stumped and frustrated...
I bought an iPad (am trying to become I-friendly) and thought it would be convenient to be able to sync my “stuff” (Contacts, Calendar and notes) to the iPad so we’ll have access to it while traveling. I use a Blackberry Tour 9630 and a PC with Outlook 2007. I have synced them effortlessly for years using Desktop manager. I make changes to my ‘stuff’ on both phone and PC and when I sync - the most current ‘stuff’ gets placed on both. Voila! Not anymore.
When I set up my iPad to work with iCloud things got screwy. A LOT of my contacts just disappeared - mainly the ones I use frequently. Now my Outlook 2007 calendar has three calendars on the screen:
Calendar in iCloud - pink
Calendar Merge Conflicts in iCloud - green in a tab behind the pink calendar
Calendar - blue
I use a cox email account and my blackberry gives me the choice when deleting an email whether to delete on the device or on the server. I use that feature a lot when we are traveling for a few weeks. It is nice to come home with no redundant emails on my PC.
1-How do I combine all the calendars so I have the same thing on each device, Hoping to stay updated on each when I make changes
2-Can the iPad email give me the option to delete from the server when viewing an email on a cox.net account?
I am not an expert but fairly tech savvy and usually can get these things done. I need help! I appreciate any thoughts or suggestions - Thanks in advance

Need help syncing new ipod touch to Itunes.

I recently bought a brand new Ipod touch 5th gen. I have the latest update for itunes, I want to start syncing music to my Ipod. My computer will not bring any info for this ipod touch into itunes. I had a 4th gen and I know that I seen on the right hand corner, under the search store, there should be a little icon with your Ipod below. No where is my Ipod been found. Every time I plug the USB cord into the computer, I don't see anything come on the screen. All I see is the battery charging on my Ipod. I'm getting frustrated with this Ipod not allowing me to get any music. What am I doing wrong? I also don't see any summary pane for me to reset to factory settings and start all over. how can someone help me on this? I tried turning on and off both the Ipod and computer, nothing, still the same and no Ipod is to be found on itunes. PLEASE HELP!!

Just what version of iTunes do you have? For a 5G iPod/iOS 7 you need iTunes 11.1 or later.. If you have a Mac yo need OSX 10.6.8 or later.
Does the iTunes still see the 4G iPod?
If necessary:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

| HTC Rezound | - connect to PC help, sync with university email + music

Hello all and welcome me,
This is my first post here, hopefully not my last, however I came here with a problem that I would most utterly love to solve. For Christmas I got a new phone, the HTC rezound which I choose over the iphone 4s. Now I finally got myself back to my apartment where my Windows desktop computer is and installed HTC sync. probably 10 minutes ago I connected it for the first time to my computer, I decided to go with window's Auto Run default to install the drivers, instead of the view files options. I got an option to install newer software, 'would you like to update your phone to newer software so you can connect it to your computer.' Now this sounded good it installed it then now on the window with no x in the corner (aka no option to close the window) which has the Verizion and HTC logo, it reads word for word
"Please turn on Internet Connection Mode from the devices setting and wait, it may take few seconds.
Setting -> Wireless & networks -> Internet Connection Mode"
with a [ Yes ] button that i am currently unable to click until i have done so.
When I go and do this options its giving me some [Cow manure] about having to pay for a tethering options for $20 a month (and yes there is a gramatical error on this window "it may take few seconds" is the word for word). This is where I am and I am too afraid to disconnect my phone in fear of messing up something. And HTC Sync program still reads "no device connected"
My Goal, is to put a couple of albums i have on the phone as well as play around with Syncing my university email account which uses a microsoft outlook server. Now I am going to help a friend move a new tv into his apartment and I will check back in say 30-40 minutes. Maybe this is a simple problem that has a solution right under my nose but I have no clue, so any input/suggestions/experience would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Chris

Update, I think I solved it, however I did unplug it and had to close some processes and such. However there is still a grammatical error which deeply disappoints me.... just kidding

Help syncing with iTunes Outlook To Update iCloud

Hello Apple Community,
I have iPhone 4s and have just started to use iCloud. Can somone please tell me the best way I can use iTunes to sync to my Outlook Calendar & Contacts and then back this data to iCloud?
Forgive my lack of knowledge about this. I have always synced to iTunes for my Outlook Calendar & Contacts, but never sent this data to iCloud. Recently I lost all my Contacts & Calendar on the iPhone b/c I lost my PC hard drive (and to keep this story short) led to this new route of sending everything to iCloud.
I have searched for a few days but haven't found Tutorials on how to do this as yet.
So essentially what I am looking for is getting my Calendar and Contact data through iTunes to my iPhone and then send both the Calendar and my Contacts to iCloud.
If anyone can help me with this process I would be very appreciative hearing from you.
After the experience of losing everything and not being the sharpest person when it comes to understanding these things. I very much appreciate your help.

I've got similar problems with my old desk top running on Vista home premium, The problem started just recently (this year) and after iTunes had been updated. For two years I was syncing my Iphone 4S with Outlook 2007 with no problems. It just so happened that my wife's loptop was no longer reliable, so I bought her for Christmas a MacBook Air. After settng it up for her I realized the benefits and convenience having her Contacts, and Caleder on the icloud. She also has an iPhone 4S. I then decided to try and set up icloud with my desktop's oulook and my iphone. At first it seemed that it was working although I felt something was not the same as before. It did not take long to realize that something undesirable was going on with my desktop. I could not figure out what. Looking into it I saw that iCloud (at least the latest version) could only be used with Windows 7 and 8. Having Windows Vista I proceded to remove iCloud from my desttop. In the process, to make a long story short, I had to remove iTunes and reinstall it without the iCloud. I found out removing iTunes is not as easy as it sounds. If you ever need to look it up elsewhre in this website, it requires a specific order of removing the components. By the way removing iTunes does not remove the Libtrary of songs (in my case a couple thousand). With the fresh installation my songs came back which made me happy. Reseting the fresh version of iTunes to sync with my iPhone (not using the iCloud) has not worked so far. Today is the second day working on it hope to get it going again.
By the way at one point I lost my contacts and calendar from my phone, however when I set the iPhone switches for iCloud all the contacts and Calendar data came back to my phone.
