I can't sync like in past with my iPhone 5 to MacBook... color ball spins and it want's to go to App Store? Never connects
In past, when I connected USB cable it tarted syncing... now it shows grey IPhone so it knows it's connected, but doesn't let me select it. I keeps going to the store and never "responds" so I have to Force Quit each time.
I tried using Bluetooth and it almost worked but then said the iPhone didn't support my MacBook. ?!?
I figure everything is so automated (old term from an old guy) that I've missed something. I miss the Apple 2e's and c's sometimes. I've almost wanted to ask verbally my phone to do it but am holding that adventure until I hear from someone. [ I asked my iPad one time for help and it told me it was busy and ask later. "Seri-ously:-) ]
Help!

TS3991 can't sync Notes in iCloud with Notes in my Macbook Pro

can't sync Notes in iCloud with Notes in my Macbook Pro

You can't sync contacts on your Mac with iCloud running Snow Leopard (10.6.8). That requires Lion (10.7.5) or higher. If your system can't run this, you'll have to go to turn of contact syncing with iCloud and either start syncing them with iTunes, or use an alternative service such as a Google contacts. You could, for example, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, turn contacts off, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then set up a Gmail account and sync them as explained here: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/2753077?hl=en.

I can't sync my iCloud calendar with my iPhone calendar

This whole iCloud sync thing has me totally confused. I set my iPhone to sync with my Mac (I thought), yet nothing appears on my Mac computer calendar or my iCloud calendar. I use my iPhone calendar more than any other calendar so I'm constantly needing to transfer to computer and iCloud from iPhone. Why do they not sync? Then there's the issue of creating a google calendar. I can't import anything from anywhere to that. Either I'm brain dead or something is wrong.
Halp!
Thanks in advance.
Leonard

If you sync your desktop iCal with iCLoud and your iPhone with iCloud then they will all be in sync. I do that and my desktop iCal and iPhone Cal are in sync.
If you prefer to not use iCLoud, go to your desktop iTunes, and sync you iPhone with it. On the Info tab select the Sync iCal Calendars.

How can I sync my IMAC email with my Iphone

I have two email accounts on my IMAC. The one email account sync's with my phone but I don't remember how I did it so I can sync my second email account.

You don't sync mail at all.
The iphone retrieves it from the server just as you computer does.
Just set the e-mail account up on the iphone:

How can I sync my new iPad with my iPhone and Gmail?

I just purchased an iPad air. I want to sync the iPad with my iPhone 5c and my Gmail account. Everytime I go to add go to add an email account it tells me my gmail password is wrong. How can I sync these devices? Thanks Jenni

When you add the account to the pad it should work just fine. You are doing somethjing subtly wrong with the password as you are setting the account up.
Try again, and pay real close attention to not only the password, but the other entries as you set up the account.
If you get frustrated, simply go to google, and reset your passwoird to something new that you will easily remember, then use that password. You will need to change the pword in your other devices as well to match the new one.

I am purchasing a new i phone 4-s can i sync it to the cloud as my power book is getting ol and i want to sync this phone to my newer imac

How can i sync a new iphone to the cloud instead of my older power book? I wnat to sync the newer phone to my i-mac that is newer.

Only iTunes content and any photos transferred from the computer that was used for syncing the iPhone.
Transfer your iTunes library from your computer's backup which should include other important data such as documents and photos, etc.

Pictures I have taken in the past with my iPhone 5 are now a block and when I click the photo it says loading but never loads. It's like I never took the photos. There's only the blocks with no pictures. I can't click edit or anything

I'm trying to look at my past photos in my camera roll but all that's there is a block and when I try to click on it the photo says "Loading" but nothing ever shows up. I can't click edit or anything. When I plug my phone in to my computer and open the photo folder they're not even there. It's like I never took these photos

I notice that the home page redirects to a secure (HTTPS) address. I wonder whether there is a setting blocking this? What if you go directly to a secure page -- will it load?

How can I sync Notes from Outlook with my iPhone

Calendar, Contacts and E-mail works great, but I live by the notes in Outlook. I switch from Blackberry to iPhone. I am using notes to store quick account info and notes from users while working. When I am back to the office I sync everything with outlook so I can have backup in case something happens to my phone. Any chance somebody developed App that can be used to sync notes between Outlook and iPhone, or even ITunes and iPhone?

I think I solved my problem. Contacts in Outlook have Notes section. I just created another set of contacts and rename that contact group "NOTES". I copied all my notes from notes folder in outlook to this new contact group and now my notes are syncing using exchange active sync just like my regular contacts. Problem solved without any third party application.

How can I sync my Outlook notes with my iphone

Can someone tell me how to sync my Outlook 2010 notes to my Iphone 5? I have version 6.1.4.
I was able to use notes on both my PC and phone prior to upgrading to Iphone 5. Since the upgrade I haven't been able to get it to work. I have lots of notes in Outlook that I don't want to manually reenter in my phone.

How can i sync my outlook calendar with my Iphone

I was trying to import my contact list from my iphone to outlook 2003. There were no entries on outlook and over 800 on my iphone and it erase them all. How do I set up my itunes to sync and merge records in both directions without creating duplicates.

Before syncing contacts with an empty address book app, enter one contact in the address book app on your computer. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
The same applies with calendar events before syncing calendar events with the Outlook calendar.

How can I sync my Verizon emails with my iPhone and iPad

I am having a problem with emails, I delete them on the iPhone and the iPad then a couple of hours later the deleted emails are back on both devices. What can I do to solve this issue. My gmail account works fine with no deleted emails showing back up again.

You'd be better off looking in the email support section of the Verizon website. That's where you're likely to find the various settings required for configuring the account. Often email providers give both POP and IMAP settings.

Hi Lyssa! Many thanks for your answer!
I had my suspicions about something like that. Apparently Apple wants to have FULL CONTROL of its users lives. I have been using Apple products since the late 80’s and I, so far, still do.
I find it a bit funny but mostly stupid that Apple has removed the syncing function between iPhone and Mac. So, even if you are a ’loyal’ Apple user, you now have to publish your whole life on iCloud if you want to copy your calendar and contacts to your OWN iPhone from your computer/vice versa, because that is what this is all about. Otherwise, you can’t sync between the iPhone and your computer, even if you are loyal to Apple, using both their laptop and their phone.
I do not want to do that and therefore I now have decided to leave the Apple platform for good. So, next time I choose a computer, a phone etc, it will not be an Apple product. Goodbye Apple!
Many thanks again, Lyssa. Have a nice day!
