How to sync iPhone photos with iPad and Mac without duplicates and deleted photos?

I have a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.8.5, iPhoto 9.4.3), an iPad2 (ios 6.1.3) and iPhone (ios 7.0.4).  I take my pictures on the iPhone and use the iPad for viewing.  I use the MBP for storage and backup.  ios 7 seems to organize the photos nicely, so I no longer need iPhoto for organizing.
What is the best, easiest and most efficient way to share, save and backup photos (iCloud prefered versus plugging devices into the MBP) between the 3 devices without duplicates and deleted photos?  With Photo Streaming turned on, I get duplicates and it retains photos that I have deleted.
On all three devices, I turned on Photos & Camera > My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams and iCloud > Photo Stream.
On the MBP, I have everything under Photo Stream EXCEPT Automatic Import (I took off recently hoping to eliminate duplicates).
If someone else already asked this question, I apologize.  This is very confusing.

While waiting for a reply, you can read the documentation that was in the box your iPad came in.  It's a book about a Spanish guy called Manual.
The answer is iTunes.  Download it.  Install it.  Read the instructions.  Use it.

  • How to sync iPhone calendar with iCal on Mac?

    When I migrated to iCloud, I lost all iCal data on my computer, but still have it on my iPhone. Any way to force iPhone calendar data onto my Mac? I have tried refreshing the calendar and turning the calendar on and off in my Mac's iCloud preferences.

    Your profile indicates you are running Leopard v10.5.8.
    You mac must be running Lion v10.7.2 in order to enable iCloud on your Mac.  Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices
    If everything is up to date and you've tried turning off Calendars and turned it back on and that didn't work, go to ~/Library/Preferences
    Move the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac.
    ~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
    For Lion:   To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

    I manage all of my email in Outlook, delete email and trash it however the update isn't reflected in the Cloud and\or Apple email.  I have to then open up Apple mail and delete again. 
    Then something is setup incorrectly, which version of OSX are you on, and is this an iCloud mail address (@mac, @me or @icloud)
    From your description of the issue I suspect that it is Outlook that is incorrectly setup.

  • Sync iPhone 4 with iPad

    I want to use my iPhone apps on iPad and vice versa . Anybody knows how to do it. When I connect the iPhone to I tune, I can see the iphone applications. When I connect the iPad, I can't see on the desktop the application that are installed on the iPad, although I do have application installed. I don't think itune backs them up at all.
    Anybody knows how to sync the apps between them using the desktop.
    Also mobile me, can it assist in it, why what mobile me is good for
    Thanks

    The problem is that tune recognize I pad but does not let go inside. When I connect iPhone I can log into the device, with the iPad connected I can just eject, that's it, nothing els. I saw that other users have the same problem but I did not see any common solution yet. I am not a newbie, I know one or two things about computers. There is a communication problem here, I have win 7 if it helps

  • TS2776 How to sync iPhone 4 with iTunes on new Win7-64 PC?

    I purchased a new Win7-64bit PC.  Am unable to get iTunes to sync with my iPhone 4.  iTunes recognizes iPhone.  Sync starts, step 1, then step 2, then message that appears only for a second that says something about "Waiting for changes to be applied."  I have re-authorized iTunes. Backed up iPhone.

    This is definitely not a good idea.  Either he owns the iPhone or you own it.
    Once he takes over ownership of the iPhone, he should do Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings and make the iPhone his own.  Otherwise, you will get in each other's way regarding messages, FaceTime, music, apps, etc.
    Once the iPhone is erased, he can set it up as new using his computer and his iTunes.

  • How to sync iPhone 3G with MacBook (previously syncing with Windows)

    Hi, I just bought a my first Mac ever, it the brand new MacBook 13" and so far I'm loving the whole Mac experience. I have a question though. I have an iPhone 3G and until now I sync it with my other Win machine. Everything is ok there. However, I'm now thinking to start using the iPhone with my MacBook but I don't know how to sync the iPhone with the Mac without losing the info I have in the iPhone. I'm not concerned about the apps, music or videos because I know to transfer that kind of info to another machine (i did it already with my iPod touch and the iPod classic and everything went fien, I didn't lose any data in the process). However, with the iPhone I don't want to lose the contacts and the saved SMSs. Can anyone tell me how to sync the iPhone to my Mac easily without losing anything? btw, I have no songs in the iPhone, just one free app (midomi). I heard that I can automatically get the app in any other computer as long as I use the same iTunes account so the server remembers that I "bought" it.

    thxs Scott, that is actually what I thought that would happen but I wasn't sure. I will give it a try later. Btw, when you say: "make sure to backup the info", do I need to do a backup manually or, is it ok if I just connect the iPhone to the old machine so iTunes can make the automatic backup?
    cheers.
    Nah, just sync it with the Windows machine before you begin. Odds on you won't need it, but if you do, then at least it is there.

  • How to sync iPhone contacts to iPad contacts, having skipped iphone set up

    After buying iphone5c I skipped part of set up.  Now I want to make iphone sync to contacts on iPad.
    I have backed up iPad to iCloud, and the iPhone too, but can't seem to make them sync, nor find a way back to the initial setup menu to choose the option to connect to iCloud.  I think all other relevant options are turned on.

    You can sync contacts using iTunes so that each device you use (iPhone, iPad, or iPod) has the same information.
    If your contacts are hosted online (for example, using iCloud or Yahoo!), just set up your contact accounts on each device and computer you use. Then, your contacts are kept up to date everywhere.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to your Mac. If iTunes doesn’t open, open iTunes. 
    Select your device, click the Info (or Contacts) tab, and then select the “Sync contacts” checkbox.
    Select whether to sync all contacts or only the groups you select.
    Select any other options you want, and then click Apply. Your contacts are updated each time you connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to your Mac.

  • How to Sync iPhone 4s with Outlook 2013 (64-bit)

    I used to sync my iPhone 4s with Outlook 2013 (32-bit) with no problems at all.  I have changed ove to the 64-bit Outlook for reasons I do not need to mention here.  I am now unable to set up to sync with Calendars, Notes and Tasks.
    When I setup to sync using iCloud Contro panel, the setup runsa dn advises that it HAS been set up innOutlook.  But in Outlook, there is no relevant tab or folder (as was the case in Outlook 2013 32-bit).
    The Outlook for iCloud add-in is present in Outlook and there are no error messages.
    I believe( from a Microsoft forum) that this may be because Microsoft moved the registry location of Outlook's mail profiles for Outlook 2013.  They used to be under HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Windows Messaging Subsystem/Profiles but now they're under HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Office/15.0/Outlook/Profiles. Apparently this is to provide the ability to have multiple versions of Outlook installed.  I suspect that the iCloud provider does not take this into consideration yet and that Apple will have to address it.
    Am I correct? or is there a way to get the sync to work?

    Yes, I removed iCloud add-on from Outlook; and uninstalled iCloud.  I then re-installed, and sync would not work (no tab for sync in Outlook either). There was no improvement.
    However, since reading your post, I have just tried signing out of icloud control panel and signing in again....and now all si working as it should.  Weird!!
    Thanks for your assistance.

  • How to sync iPhone 5s with iTunes without getting error Msg: "com.apple.MediaLibraryService quit unexpectedly"?

    I had to restore Mavericks on my MacBook Pro and since the restoration, whenever I sync my iPhone 5s with iTunes, I get the error message "com.apple.MedialLibraryService quit unexpectedly". Any solutions?

    Thanks for the link, Niel.  I'm kind of disappointed with Apple that they're making us buy an upgrade to her OS to get all of her Apple products to work together.  It seems weird that we could have any old Windows machine and this would work great, but the fact that she has a MacBook is screwing this up.

  • How to Syncing iPhone 4 with two PCs like iPod

    Hello everyone,
    i have bought an iPhone 4 and want to put my music on it.
    The problem is that I have a Notebook and a PC (both WINDOWS 7).
    Now I have registered my iPhone with the Notebook but sometimes I find a new Song on my PC.
    But iTunes says that my iPhone is conected to another iTunes, so it will not transfer my music.
    Why does it not work like the iPod Touch I had? With the iPod i could my music from both Notebook and PC.
    Can anyone help me? PLEASE!!!!

    "But why is this like this?"
    Becasue Apple made it this way.  Like most companies, Apple is not in the habiut of eexplaining each and every product decision and discussing these decisions is not permitted here.

  • How to sync iPhone to a different iTunes library without losing content on phone

    I've been using iTunes on my Macbook Air mostly for podcasts, which I periodically clean up to conserve disk space. I had a separate iTunes library on an iMac that holds my complete music collection. My iPhone is synced to the library on the Macbook Air. I just recently purchased an external hard drive and moved my whole iTunes library to it, combined with the few albums that I imported from the MacAir library, where the whole shebang is now available via Airport Extreme to both the iMac and Macbook Air, i.e., both computers can now access the same complete iTunes library, and the podcast-only library has been deleted from the Air. But now my phone won't sync to the library on the external drive. I'm not getting the "Sync and Erase" message that I've read about, but I can't drag content onto my phone, either. How do I get the phone to recognize this new library, and will I have to erase all of the music on the phone to do it?

    It would be cleaner to simply sync the phone with the new library.  You can manually add music to the phone but you will perpetually be having the problem you cannot do a proper sync.
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202 - You can manage your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers as long as you have set the device to "Manually manage music."  -  E.g., adding music from a second computer to an i-device.

  • Sync iphone contacts with ipad

    I just purchased a new iPad Mini and cant seem to sync up my iPhone contacts to appear on my iPad.. any help here would be appreciated.
    thanks,

    You first need to make sure you sync all of your iPhone contacts to the iCloud (not back up to the iCloud but sync). To do, on your iPhone, go to Settings > iCloud > and turn the Contacts switch to ON. Next, tap on "Merge".
    Do the same action on your iPad too. Make sure you use the same iCloud account credentials on both devices.
    Both your iPhone and iPad contacts should now be synced
