    Are you referring to @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com emails? Or some other email providers emails?
    If the former, it should do that automatically. If the latter, no. iCloud does not (nor is it supposed to) sync non-Apple provided emails.

  • Synch iphone calendars with laptop and visa versa

    Hi, firstly there used to be an i messenger where you could connect directly with the support staff to help yo resolve issues, has that service stopped now?
    I cant get my calendars to synch, I add something in outlook and I cant get it to my iphone and visa versa... infact my ipad, iphone and pc have different information in the calendars for tomorrow... well today as its 00:40 now! Any ideas?
    thanks, Zigster4

    You want to make sure that you add new events to the iCloud calendar in Outlook.  If you add an even to your default Outlook calendar, it will not sych to iCloud.  iCloud's calendar and the Outlook default calendars do not synch.  Instead, iCloud creates additional calendars in Outlook -- additional calendars that never synch with the Outlook default calendar.   So does iCloud "synch" data with Outlook?  Not really.  A better description would be that iCloud data is visible in Outlook. I keep looking to see if Apple or a third party has fixed this problem, but have found no solutions so far.

  • Hi, I have updated my MacPro, Iphone and Ipad and installed the Icloud. My Ipod merges with the Ipad and visa versa but neither merges with the notebook nor does the notebook merge with them.

    I have updated my MacBook Pro, my Iphone 4 and my Ipad2. My Iphone merges with the Ipad via ICloud and visa versa, but neither merge with the notebook nor does the notebook merge with them. there are no further updates on my notebook to download, any suggestions?

    Home Sharing is designed to work on your local network not across the internet/cloud.
    Stuff is accessed under the Computers column where your local iTunes library on a local computer would appear.
    Home Sharing would share your iTunes content (i.e. stuff stored in itunes on the computer, not in the cloud) with AppleTV or an iPad etc on the SAME network.
    AppleTV2 will not be able to see itunes content on the work computer over the internet.  It's not designed to.  if the work computer was on the home network it would.
    iCloud is in it's infancy and is not a mature product - iTunes TV Show purchases appear on AppleTV, but currently music does not unless you are subscribed to iTunes Match. I find this rather odd to be honest, along with the inability to buy music on AppleTV2.  Movies purchased in iTunes are not authorised for iCloud viewing currently either.
    Maybe it has something to do with iTunes Match 'getting in the way' - i think they assume you'll use that whereas you really want to be able to access Purchased music from the cloud without subscribing to itunes Match which is overkill for some.

    How to sync iPad with iPhone 4

    You don't, as such. You sync each device with iTunes, and then you can sync content with the other unit. See:

  • I need to sync my mac calendar with ipad and iphone and visa versa.

    I need to sync my mac calendar with ipad and iphone and visa versa. I have read up on it and Mobileme seemed the way to go, but isn't for sale anymore.  Will installing lion allow me to integrate calendars???

    You should post in the SL forum for more help.
    Since you're using SL, you should be able to sync using iSync application or iTunes. I'm not familiar with it, but I know it can be done.
    And yes, if you install Lion and use iCloud, you will be able to sync iCal between all devices. Once set up, whatever change made on one automatically updates the other. Same for AddressBook.

  • Can't open Pages 05 saved in Dropbox on new Pages iPad app and visa-versa

    Updated to the new Pages 05 on all my devices (macbook, iPad, iPhone). Problem now is that I want to save documents into Dropbox. Works fine when saving a file from my macbook to dropbox, and then opening it on my macbook again. But whenever I create a document on either the macbook or iPad and save it into dropbox, it will not allow me to open it on the other device. I am very uneducated in this area, especially the new 'packages' that files are put in now, I'm not understanding how this all works and why I cannot open a pages file created on my macbook in a pages app on my iPad and visa-versa.

    I've just encountered this problem trying to work away from my main mac on pages and numbers documents, through my iPad - this was a great feature through dropbox -  now it's just another frustration - Apple why are you taking us backwards?  To resolve it I have to spend time moving all my documents to iCloud which is just making what was a brilliantly simple file sharing option, now very complicated.

    Hi Roger:
    Thanks for the reply.  I think I figured out the problem.  Apple has confused (at least in my mind) the different IDs that people can have.  In the iCloud settings, they use the term Apple ID and not iCloud ID.  I guess there really is no such thing as an iCloud ID.  There are Apple IDs with various attributes.  This is not clearly explained or easy to see (how could I look up to see if my Apple ID is associated with iTunes for example?).
    I created, what I thought were iCloud IDs for each family member, but we all use my Apple ID for iTunes.
    One other question - why does the syncing of Notes using iCloud require an @me.com email account.  That makes no sense to me.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Syncing photos from iPad to macbook and vice versa

    I recently synced my ipad with my new macbook air. I successfuly imported all my photos from my iPad to iPhoto on my laptop.  However, now everytime I connect my ipad and laptop iPhoto opens and asks me to import all the photos all over again, despite the fact that they are still all there.
    I haven't synced my photos with another computer before. I want to be able to add a photo onto my ipad and have it on my laptop and vice versa.
    This doesn't have to be done wirelessly, I am happy to only have it happen when I plug them togerther, but I want the same photos on both my laptop and iPad.
    I havent really messed around with anything as I am afraid of wiping my photos. I understand that I may have to do this via a third party or something, any help would be great.
    Thanks.

    Connect the iPad to your Mac then launch iTunes.
    Select the iPad under Devices then select Photos from the menu.
    Deselect:   Sync Photos from
    You probably have iPhoto selected from the pop up menu.
    Deselecting Sync Photos from should prevent the prompt to sync every time you connect the iPad.

  • Can I sync a desktop, laptop and iPhone?

    I want to sync my desktop, laptop and iPhone - I am able to sync 2 of the 3 - but not all 3 of them.
    Is it possible to sync them all?
    If not, if I bookmark something on the one that isn't synced, then it won't be added to my iphone (for example).
    Thank you!

    You are talking about the menu bar of Itunes, right?
    Yes. With iTunes open the menu bar is at the top of your screen.
    where exactly is the Store/synck you iphone option?
    After you authorize the computer connect your iPhone then follow the instructions here > iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    When you are done transferring the data to the desktop, right or control click the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window then click Back Up.
    That way you will have a backup just in case you need to restore your iPhone.

    "Sounds like you guys are using the same apple id for imessage.   You will need to create a separate id for you wife.  OR go to settings - message - receive&send and make sure your phone number is the default for both you and yoru wife.
