HT1296 Reminders won't sync to my iPhone5 via iTunes

My Calendar appears to sync perfectly but for some reason Reminders on my phone remains empty and there's no separate option in iTunes.
I'm using Mountain Lion, the latest iTunes etc.
I'd be grateful for ideas on how I can reinitiate or force through the Reminders.

Thanks but I don't want to sync through iCloud as it seems to cause havoc with my calendar entries (although I have no choice for Notes for some reason Apple had the bright idea of removing the Notes option from iTunes.)
Using iTunes is working well for Calendar and Contacts but not Reminders...

I downloaded the latest update on my MacBook Pro. Now I keep getting a pop-up that iCloud wants my password from an email login I haven't had in a year. Now the calendar won't sync with my iPhone5.

I downloaded the latest update on my MacBook Pro last week. Now I keep getting a pop-up that iCloud wants my password from an email login I haven't had in a year. I can't find where to delete that email login. iCloud is also showing my new email login, plus a bogus one I accidentally created trying to fix this problem. Now the calendar on my MacBook Pro won't sync with my iPhone5.

It sounds like you have the Find my iphone Activation lock for sure. Go to www.icloud.com/find and see if you put in that Apple ID that is coming up and yoru password to see if you are able to sign into the account that way to turn it off. If you are unable to, you will have to contact AppleCare by phone (chat cannot handle account lock outs or forgotten password due to not being able to verify your identity) and see if they can reset it. And are you sure the Apple ID that is coming up yours?

Ipod touch (5th generation) won't sync all selected music in itunes.

ipod touch (5th generation) won't sync all selected music in itunes version 12.0.1. Under the summary tab, I've selected "Sync only checked songs and videos." In the music tab, I've selected the various albums and artists I want. I click on "sync," and some albums sync, others do not. Often, only some tracks of the selected albums sync. Additionally, some albums sync that I haven't even selected. My computer's operating system is Windows 8.1. Please help - thank you!

Providing the songs play OK in iTunes on the computer and you do not have any Restrictions set that wold prevent syncing those songs (Settings>General>Restrictions; iTunes purchases only)
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Contacts created on iPhone won't sync with exchange, only via USB

When I create a new contact on my iPhone from within the phone app, it doesn't get synced to my exchange server, in fact it doesn't show up anywhere in the contacts app or under contacts in the phone app. If I create a new contact from the contacts app it only allows me to create it in my exchange contacts folder but it does sync properly. When I create a contact from within the phone app I am not given a choice of group at all and unless I have a recent call from that contact, it is nowhere to be found on my phone or computer. So the question is how do I get new contacts created on my phone from within the phone app to sync with exchange? The only way I have been able to sync contacts created within the phone app thus far has been with iTunes via USB which works fine but I want to sync contacts bidirectionally via exchange ota.
Thanks for any help

I have more information to share.
When you launch the Contacts app on the iPhone, hit the "Groups" button in the top left. What I see on that page are these 3 sections:
All Contacts >
From My Mac
All From My Mac >
Group A >
Group B >
Group C >
etc
Foobar (Exchange)
Foobar Global Address List >
After many hours of trial and error, I have come to the understanding that the iPhone Contacts app has potentially multiple data stores which seem to correspond to each sync source configured (eg AddressBook, Exchange, etc.) Refering to my example above, I have enabled Contacts syncing with my AddressBook (via iTunes) and an Exchange mail account, so my iPhone shows 2 separate sections with the generic "All Contacts" appearing as the first section at the top.
Entering the contact listings page via the "All Contacts" button will show an integrated list of contacts from all sync sources (in my case, two: contacts from AddressBook on my Mac and contacts from my Foobar Exchange account).
If you click the "+" button to add a new contact when you have entered the listing page via "All Contacts", it seems the record is only stored on the iPhone and does NOT get sync'd. Specifically, it does not get synced to the Mac AddressBook nor to the Exchange account.
However, if you have entered the listings page via any group in the "From My Mac" section or "Foobar (Exchange)" section, and create a new contact via the "+" button there, that contact DOES get sync'd to the appropriate sync source (AddressBook or Exchange in my case).
Furthermore, if you enter the listings page via a specific group in the "From My Mac" section (eg "Group A") and create a new contact from in there, it will appear in "Group A" in AddressBook after sync. If you enter the listings page via the generic "All From My Mac" button, then the new contact will be added to whatever group you have specified in iTunes (under the iPhone Info tab etc. as mentioned in the prior post).
All up, I guess, there may not be a bug here after all. I must simply always remember to add new contacts when I am in the "All From My Mac" section, if I want them to be synced to my Mac.
However, I do think that it's a confusing and poor user experience (and may lead to loss of data) if you add new contacts from the generic "All Contacts" entry point, because they will NOT be synced as you'd expect them to. I am guessing this also might only happen when you have multiple sync sources defined, simply because the app doesn't know which sync source to associate them with: AddressBook or Exchange? But, at the point of adding that new contact, the app should prompt you for the sync source to use, or at least WARN you that your contact is going to be an orphan record solely residing forever more on your iPhone. If you ever reset your iPhone those contact records would be lost forever.

An extra group 'on my iphone' appeared after i sync with windows contact via itunes

I am having this problem which appears to be happened after i sync with my computer. In the contact group, there is an extra group 'on my iphone' appeared after i sync with windows contact via itunes, and even though now i stop syncing already, the group is still there. Can anyone here give me some suggestion on how to remove this group permantly, i not just wanted to remove the contacts but the entire group form appearing on my iphone. Thanks.

Is the app compatible with the iPhone (e.g. it's not and iPad-only app), and do you have the relevant iOS version on the phone ? Or do you have Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps set 'off' on the phone which will stop new apps being installed ?

I have synced my iPhone 5s via iTunes however, my album artwork is not appearing on my phone. Please help

I have synced my iPhone 5s via iTunes however, my album artwork is not appearing on my phone. Please help

Hi
Typically these are added toy our iPhone by synching with iTunes and that is the only way to "unsych" them.
In your Itunes tab for photos you can uncheck the albums you do not wanted synced to your iPhone. Then resynch your computer and your iPhone and they will not be added to your iPhone.
Cheers

My ipod nano(5th generation) won't sync or show up in itunes

i've been trying to sync my ipod but it won't do anything. i tried reinstalling itunes 4 times but that didn't help. i also tried a bunch of other things from the support page and that didn't help either.

If you connect it to the Mac with iTunes NOT running, and run Disk Utility, does it appear in the sidebar as a "disk"? Also, you can run System Profiler or System Information (depending Mac OS X version). It is in Applications/Utilities/, but you can also run it from the About This Mac window. Does the shuffle appear as a device under USB?
The red light when you move the power switch to ON means very low charge in battery. That probably means the battery is not getting charged when connected. In terms of hardware, that could mean a bad USB port on Mac, a bad USB cable, or a bad connection on the shuffle. In any case, power is not getting to the battery. It might be a bad battery, but if that was the only problem, I think the shuffle would still appear in iTunes when connected. That's why asked if it appeared in Disk Utility or System Profiler/Information; if it does, the connection is working (even though iTunes does not see it for some reason).
You can make sure the USB port is working by using something else that is similar (like a USB flash drive) on the same port. If you happen to have another USB cable, you also try to rule out a bad cable.

My iPhone calendar entries won't sync with my iCal using iTunes

Hi,
For some odd reason my iPhone calendar entries will not sync with my iCal using the sync feature in iTunes.
The syncing of everything else seems to be working just fine but in the last couple of days ~ now the calendars won't sync.
Entries that I've made in iCal sync alright to my iPhone but not the other way around.....
Anyone out there got any suggestions???

First make sure you are entering the events on your phone to your Mac calendar and not some other calendar such as On My iPhone. If you are, and they still won't sync, try resetting the SyncServices folder on your mac, as explained in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627, then try syncing your calendar again. (If you are prompted when syncing your calendar, choose Merge.)

Iphone won't sync with new installation of iTunes

I had to reinstall iTunes in a new laptop, and then copied my music library-file from the old iTunes-installation. Now the iPhone won't sync the music files. For some of the music I've bought in iTunes it says "You have to copy this music manually", but there is no such option in iTunes, as far as I can see. And by the way, afterinstalling 5.0.1 my contact-information is trippled, or every name and phone etc. is listed three times.

Try uninstalling then reinstalling iTunes. See the iTunes support page (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/) on how to do this.

How can I sync contacts and calendar via iTunes 11.1.8 to iOS 3.1.3 (iPhone 1)?

I am proud owner of an iPhone 1 and it still works fine, but runs on iOS 3.1.3. I updated my 2 year old iMac to Mac OS X (10.9) and I am now using iTunes 11.1.8. Actually, I bought my iMac because I was so enthusiastic to see how smooth syncing with my iPhone worked. Now, since OS X, I can not sync calendar and contacts anymore. I had to reset my iPhone and start from scratch, so contacts and calendar are empty.
Sync via iTunes does not work anymore because Apple deleted the direct sync function and my iPhone's iOS does not support iCloud.
Sync via CalDav does not work, beause for some reason my iCloud account is not approved when trying to create it in mail/calendar/contacts (I tried several times, crosschecked, all data appear correct to me and work in the browser access).
Sync via Google does not work, because obviously, my iOS does not support their calendar and contacts function.
Sync via Windows PC might work, but I would have to set one up from scratch.
Downgrading to iTunes 10.7 failed, because OS X didn't allow it. Downgrading the Mac OS might be an option, but I am already running e.g. Books and using it a lot.
Any help is welcome.
Iris
P.S.: I still remember Steve Jobs saying "it simply works!"

Thank you Meta, but I could not get the calendar and contact sync with Gmail to work. Apple support already suggested to use Google or a Windows PC. Maybe I should actually reset and try my old Windows PC. Seriously, ... can this be the solution after a Mac OS update for pure Apple users?

Sync side-loaded iBook via iTunes?

I exported an iBook from "iBooks Author" and I successfully side-loaded the iBook to my iPad via DropBox. I'm aware that it's also possible for an iPad user to download an iBook into their iPad via a webpage.
Has anyone successfully side-loaded an iBook (with interactive and multimedia widgets) by importing it into iTunes then syncing their iPad or manually transferring it via iTunes?
Thanks,
Ted

I did it successfully! I just now:
1. In iTunes, I chose the "Books" category from the little drop-down menu at left,
2. Used File -> Add to Library ...
3. Imported my iBook into iTunes
4. When I started to drag the iBook icon towards the right, a panel displayed at right that contained an icon representing my iPad ... I dropped the iBook icon onto the iPad
5. The iBook opened within the "iBooks" app on my iPad

Syncing "new mobileme" calendar via iTunes

Hi, I'm using the "old" MobileMe calendar on a Mac (10.6.6) & syncing this via iTunes with an iPhone (4.2.1). The Mac syncs with the web-based MobileMe, so that I can view my calendar from computers at work. I sync my iPhone via iTunes because I do extensive travelling where neither the Mac nor the iPhone have internet access. The iTunes sync allows them to keep the calendars in sync with each other.
Now, I'm wondering how this would work if I moved to the "new" MobileMe calendar. I understand that the "master" copy of the calendar no longer resides on the Mac, but in the MobileMe cloud. Can the iPhone still sync via iTunes & a local cable, or is it forced to sync wirelessly via MobileMe?
I can find no information on this anywhere & I'm not game to experiment because once I switch to the "new" MobileMe calendar, there's no way to return to the "old" MobileMe calendar.
Thanks in advance.

Ripped tunes won't sync to my iphone5

I used to be able to transfer music from a cd, to my itunes, to my iphone no problem. Now I transfer cds to itunes and they will play on my computer. I sync to my phone and the songs appear, but if I select the song it will not play and will skip to the next purchased song. I have many cds I have loaded and this just started. At first it was annoying that I couldn't add anything new. Today it actually stopped playing all of the songs that I have added to my phone.
Please help! It ***** to have a collection of music and not be able to add it to my phone.

Thanks but I don't want to sync through iCloud as it seems to cause havoc with my calendar entries (although I have no choice for Notes for some reason Apple had the bright idea of removing the Notes option from iTunes.)
