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.

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.

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.

IMac me email not syncing with macbook and iphone

Changes to my emails, e.g. receiving a new email, reading a new email, deleting an email, are syncing on my iphone, macbook and on icloud.com, but not on my imac. I have a brand new imac and am using my me.com email account. I have set up all 3 devices according to the standard settings available on apple support pages.
Somewhere something is out of place, but I can't fathom what. All other data, including calendar and address book, is happily synched between all devices and icloud.com.
Any advice gratefully appreciated.

No, but you can go to your email provider's site and set up forwarding for your current email address to your new one. That would allow not to miss any email while your friends are changing their contact information for you to your new address. I did that with my old ISP POP account when I switched to iCloud email. Just set up forwarding and inform everyone of your new address.

ICloud not syncing between Outlook and iPhone...

For over a year it was great, my iPhone and PC were linked in contacts, mail and photo stream. All of a sudden yesterday (Feb. 14) iCloud is not in Outlook 2010. I have tried deleting and starting over twice but it still they are not in sync in Outlook, hence my contacts are not there and the calendar is missing. The set-up says they're linked but not...I have plenty of storage space.... Help?

This is what was wrong on in my problem. I had to ensure the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active within Outlook.
Open Outlook 2010.
Click the File menu.
Click Options in the left panel of the Outlook window.
Click Add-Ins in the left panel of the Outlook Options window.
Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
If not, find the "Manage" and click "Go"
Find "iCLoud Outlook Add-in" and check it if it's unchecked and then click "OK"
After I did this everything synced once again. I hope this works for you as it did for me.
SDG!

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.

Playlists and new purchases are not syncing between itunes and iphone

all devices are updated. My Mac itunes is not syncing with iphone itunes, playlists and new purchases. HELP

This definitely happened with the new 10.7.0.21! We are having the same problem, the apps are all in iTunes but cannot sync anymore! Apple needs a bug fix ASAP.

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.

Events on iCloud not syncing between computer and iphone

If I initiate a calendar event in iCloud on my computer, the event shows up on my iPhone iCloud calendar. However if I initiate an event on the iCloud calendar on my phone, it does not show up on my computer. I am using the iCloud version of a google calendar. I use Outlook to view my calendar. Any ideas?

Check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar on your phone. Make sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default. If you haven't, make this change and try adding a new event to see if it syncs now.
If your settings are correct and events on your phone still won't sync, add any events from your phone that are missing from your iCloud calendar to icloud.com. When the calendar on icloud.com is up to date, on your phone go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then after a minute or so turn Calendars back to On to sync back your iCloud calendars to your phone. Then add a new event on your phone and see if it syncs now.

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.

Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly. Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync. Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.

Solutions?

No, I never really found an easy solution. I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device. In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs. A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup. It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad. But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost. When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might. If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it. I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.

IBooks not syncing between iOS7 and Maverick

iBooks not syncing between iOS7 and Maverick
Just updated my MBP to Mavericks and only a few items have synced from my phone to the mac in iBooks. The phone was also updated to iOS7.0.3 (the latest) today too before the Mavericks update.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is this a bug which will hopefully be fixed shortly? Or is there something I can do to resolve this?
I have a number of .pdf´s in iBooks (.pdf books) on the phone and would obviously want everything on the phone accessible on the computer, as is the idea.
Many thanks for your help/advice.
Susan :S

This has been my headache since day one and a complete swing and a miss by Apple. I haven't been able to get ANYTHING I have not explicitely purchased from iTunes to sync in iBooks across device.
For example: If I load an ePub or PDF into iTunes and "manually" add to a device, this works just fine.
However, if I open a PDF file on my iPhone into iBooks, it doesn't show up in any of my other devices, including the new iBooks on my iMac with Maverick. it doesn't matter which device it's added, nothing syncs if it's not purchased from iTunes.
Please, someone make me a liar and tell me I've completely missed something.
Apple: Why or why can't I add PDF files to iBooks on my iMac and have them automagically show up in the collection I created on all my devices? Because I didn't purchase them from you, you say? Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Then don't let me add it in the first place and stop advertising "my content anywhere on any device" because this has been broken from day one.
