How can I sync reminders with Google ?

OSX Mountain Lion and iOS experts : how can I sync Reminders on my iPhone with Google (Tasks?) ?
In Mountain Lion : I can choose Google as the Reminder account, although nothing is sync'ing.
And in iOS, it's even worse : I can't even choose Google for reminders (only iCloud).
So why would I not use iCloud then on both devices (desktop and iOS)? Well, because I'd like to use Google as the calendar (for sharing purposes with non-iCloud users) and apparantly, it's not possible to link reminders to iCloud without also linking your calendar to iCloud?! (It's one single item in Mountain Lion in the iCloud settings : "Calenders & Reminders").
Am I missing something?
Many thanks,
Kris

Cheers for that BikeMystery. So yeah, if you mainly use Google Services then the only way to get Reminders and Notes syncing between OSX ML and your iOS deviceis to activate Notes and Reminders under iCloud and create an @me address and an iCloud calendar. That's a bit pants really.
If you do have an Exchange or Yahoo! account set up in Mail, Contacts & Calendars does that allow Notes & Reminders to sync with iOS without iCloud?

How can i sync reminders with my iMac and I phone?

Just updates to iOS 5 reminders look useful but how can I sync it between all my devices? I am still on mobile me.

I would also like to know if this is possible. I have been using Wunderlist because it syncs over all devices, including iMac and Macbook. Will there be a "Reminders" app for iMac available at some point in the future?

HT2486 My address book only displays e-mails. How can I sync it with my i-phone to display the address book the same way as my contacts in my i-phone?

Currently my address book only displays e-mail addresses. It uses the portion of the address in front of the @ as the name. How can I sync it with my i-phone 4S that has name/numbers and addresses of my contacts?

Hello there, Seta.
You are correct that this can be done with iCloud. The following Knowledge Base article provides some great instruction for syncing contacts:
iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1296
Particularly:
Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, and Notes
You can sync contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes with other applications on your computer. This allows you to keep all your information in sync across multiple computers and iOS devices. The settings for these items are all in the Info tab for your iOS device in iTunes. With your iOS device connected to the computer, select your iOS device. Then click the Info tab.
For details on syncing content on your iOS device with your computer, click the sections below.
Contacts
To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Contacts" in OS X v10.8, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" in OS X v10.7 and earlier.
You can sync your contacts with:
Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8)
Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
Windows Contacts (Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8)
Address Book (Mac OS X v10.7 and earlier)
Contacts (Mac OS X v10.8)
Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
Notes:
When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
Additional options for syncing include syncing your contacts with Yahoo or Gmail/Google Mail. You will need to configure it with the user name and password for your Yahoo or Google account.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

How can I sync lightning with iphone calendar?

how can I sync lightning with iphone calendar? I saw online that I need to use a google calendar? I added the google calendar as they described but I have no idea where to go from here

To sync with iPhone's calendar (also called iCalendar) you need to use a cloud-based calendar. If you already have lightning, install the Google Provider addon and setup Google Calendar. If you have already done that, go to settings on your iPhone. In the Mail, Contacts, and Calendars area, add your Google account, and turn on Calendar. This will sync your Google Calendar with the iPhone.

Connect your iPad to your computer and open iTunes. Look under 'info' and you may need to scroll down. The option will be there to sync your outlook calendar (or more) with the iPad. Choose what you want and sync to 'save' the settings.

- The iTunes backup that iTunes makes included photos in the camera roll. If yo go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices what is the date of the backup? Is it when the photos were on the iPod? You have to restore from that backup.
- What may have happened is that you backup the iPod after you restored the iPod but before restoring from backup. iTunes only keeps one backup and overwrites the previous backup with the changes.

How do i sync ical with google calendar, in that direction

i have google cal and ical syncset up but it was set up by google telling what to enter into ical. this made my other calendars, all the google calendars i have other than the main one, into "delegates" on ical.
whats the reason or process for this? cant they just been normal calendars on ical?
the reason i ask is that i have a menu pull down app which seems to only read "normal" calendars and not delegated calendars...
can i sync ical to google cal but enter details into ical to sync with google rather than the other way round?

So if I make calendar entry in my iphone it syncs to my mac ical but not icloud.
If everything is set to use iCloud then it's impossible for data to get from the iPhone to the mac but not iCloud, since all the data actually resides on iCloud and is read from there by devices. It rather sounds as if you have some syncing going on iTunes. If you look at the calendar listing on your Mac and Phone they must be listed under iCloud, not 'On My Mac/iPhone' - is that the case?

you would do that by connecting your Pod to the PC by USB cable. once the iPod is mounted and you click on its icon in the left window, you will be shown this window (ignore where the red arrow is pointing)
notice the little tabs saying music, videos, etc. ? click on the info tab to select which data to sync to your iPod
is it also possible to drag and drop file from my pc into the itouch? ie. word documents into the "notes" app...
no. instead, take a look at this app.

How can i sync a CalDav google calendar with my local calendar in iCal?

Hi,
I have a google calendar as CalDav-account in my iCal. It works perfect. Now i'd like to sync the google calendar with my local calendar, without copy/paste for every date. Ist there any possibility?

I just discovered that when you set up CalDAV delegate accounts in iCal, you are really moving google calendars into iCal, not the other way around. So for everything to sync up you must enter events in the delegate calendars in iCal, not in your original iCal calendars.

I just bought a new netbook, and installed itunes on it. how can i sync it with my previous account from my previous laptop?

i wonder how i could move my account on from my old laptop (with all it's apps) to the new one, so i could easily sync my iphone to the new laptop.

Your account is just a user names and password. You can log into your account from any computer with itunes.
Are you talking about your itunes library ( music. apps, movies,etc)?
Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.

How Do I Sync Reminders with Two Computers ?

I have an assistant that helps me managment my iCal. I want to start to use reminders on the right hand pane of iCal. Is there a way for me and her to be able to add / remove things on my Reminders list that she can edit on her iMac and edit also on my macbook pro.
Thanks in Advance.

You can sync the MBP to Google calendar (Google accounts are free). In iCal Preferences, click 'Accounts' then set Account Type to Google and enter your Google email address and password.
You will need to move your 'On My Mac' calendar(s) to Google. This method should work (though you might also want to check Google's Help):
1. Select your 'On My Mac' calendar. From the File menu choose 'Export...' then 'Export...'; from the sub-menu. This will create an .ics file at the location chosen in the Export dialog.
2. From the File menu choose 'New Calendar' then your Google login name in the sub menu.
3. A new calendar called 'Untitled' will appear in your sidebar under your Google login name. Change its name to that of the calendar you exported.
4. From the File menu choose 'Import...' then 'Import...' from the sub-menu. A navigation pane will open: navigate to and choose your exported .ics file.
5. iCal will ask you where to import this to. Click the drop-down menu and select the Google version of your calendar (make sure not to choose the 'On My Mac' version). Import.
6. Your calendar contents will appear in the Google version of the calendar but this may take some time. You need to leave iCal running until the rotating icon at the top of the sidebar disappears.
7. You can now delete the 'On My Mac' version of the calendar (control-click it in the sidebar list and choose 'Delete').
Note that Google will not sync ToDos.
However you will only be able to sync the PowerBook G4 if it is running at least 10.5.8.

How can I sync IPod, with lots of music, to ITunes empty library?

I lost my entire ITunes library when I had to format the hard drive. Now I want to sync all the info in my iPod into this new library. I wory that the sync may go the other way and empty my IPod. When I connect the IPod to the computer it tells me that it is synced with a different library. (This must be the one that was deleted when I formatted the disk).
Please help

1). Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
3). Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

How can I sync iCal with my iPhone 4 without connecting to iTunes?

I would like to be able to add an event to iCal (for example) and have it automatically update in my iPhone. I currently have to plug the iPhone in. I do not subscribe to MobileMe or Google calendars, and don't want to! Any help is appreciated.

Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match ($24.99 per annum in the US) and upload those songs to it form your computer, then the only way to get them into your phone's Music app is by connecting the phone and syncing.
