I cannot get my iPhone to sync with my Macbook.

Items that are on my iphone are not showing up on my Macbook.  I have plugged them into one another to sync.  Does this happen automatically if I have icloud and if I have checked the ical box for syncing?  Also, is there a way to have them sync without physically connecting them?

I just had that problem out of the blue.  Here's how I fixed it:
Go to iMessage and click on Preferences.  Click on Account.  Look at your iMessage account and make sure it is checked as "enabled".  Mine was unchecked for some strange reason. I had never unchecked it.
All is good again for me.  Hope this helps.

  • I have three computers (Dell and HP) two I phones and I cannot get the iphones to sync with the computers.  I recently installed ITunes 11.0 on all computers and have no success getting iphones to sync since then.  The iphones are a 4 and a 3S

    I have three computers, 1 dell and 2 hps.  I have downloaded the new 11.0 on all computers and now am unable to get my iphones to sync.  I also can't get the home sharing to work...shouldn't I be able to get all libraries from all computers on both phones...if they would download?  It tells be I have to delete the previous libraries to add the phone to a new computer.

    If you no longer have the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
    Log in to iTunes,  go to "view your account info" on the itunes store,  deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months)  and then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

  • HT1386 I cannot get my iphone to sync with itunes

    I recently purchased a new iphone 5s, and I cannot get it to sync with my itunes. Last night I tried to sync and overnight it continued to stay on step 2, preparing to Sync and never went any further.

    For resetting the sync history on a Mac running Lion - 10.7.x if needed.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    If you see the Sync menu in the menu bar, skip to step 3: 
    If you do not see the Sync menu in your menu bar, skip to step 7.
    Hold the Option key on your keyboard, then click the Sync menu in the menu bar:   
    if you see the Sync menu but you are unable to open it, skip to step 8.
    Choose Reset Sync Services.
    Click Reset Sync History.
    Test for the original issue. If the issue persists, or if you are unable to open the Sync menu, follow these steps:
    In the Finder, choose Utilities from the Go menu.
    Open Terminal.
    In the Terminal window, type or paste the following command on a single line:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl full
    Press Return.
    Quit Terminal after the operation has completed (when Terminal returns to the command prompt with a $).

  • I cannot get my iphone to sync with outlook

    My iphone 4 synced well with my previous laptop running Vista.  I now have a computer running with Windows 8 but cannot get it to sync with iphone.  It is backing up to icloud. successfully.  Can anyone help as everything I have tried has failed?

    How does iCloud have anything to do with this, you have 2 email accounts, neither of them an iCloud account?
    If you want to get Gmail on your iPhone add it to your iPhone. Same goes for Outlook.

    For Apps, you can re-download them again for free if available in the iTunes/App Store under Purchased.

    Enable iCloud on both, and Calendars on the iPhone should sync with iCal on the Mac wirelessly.

    You don't. Backup your itunes library on the old computer and move it to the new computer.

  • I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my Mac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events

    I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my iMac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events, so that if adding an event on my iPone it never appears on my other hardware? Can anyone help me sort this out?

    Re: check that the appointments in my phone are going into iCloud calendars....exactly how do I do this?  I fear this is a really stupid question!
    My iCloud account is set up with my Apple ID as one email account (for example [email protected]) which is the email account I use to sign up for internet sites like Amazon, Apple,etc, so that I can differentiate vendors/mass emails.  But my default calendar on my iPhone is in a different email name (ie [email protected]) which I use for most communications to friends, relatives, etc. and it is this account that holds most of my appointments.  To further complicate things I have other email accounts that I use for business/professional and community work.  If I want all my calendars to show on my iPhone AND sync to my iCloud, do I set this at the phone level or the iCloud level?  or both?   
    Let me clarify....It looks like if I go into appointments that I previously set up through my personal account (ie above [email protected]) and edit the entry on my iPhone, selecting the iCloud "home" calendar within the entry, it will then sync to my iCloud account, no problem....do I have to do this to EVERY entry I have? or is there  a way to name my personal account as one to sync to iCloud?

    Hello megansmummy,
    I would be concerned too if my iPod wasn't able to complete the syncing processes. I recommend following the steps in this tutorial to address and issue like this:
