I just want to sync the calendar
Ever since I turned on iCloud, it has been a calendar nightmare. I have tried to turn off iCloud and go back to syncing the way that actually works, with a wire.
Several things:
1. When I got my calendar events all re-entered for the second time, I went to iTunes and selected sync all calendars (Why there are 7 calendars to choose from I couldn't say). Anyway, when I hit sync a pop-up box appears and sez "857 entries are about to be deleted." WHAT? I just want the entries on the phone to freaking sync with the computer so I have a backup. That is all. No more no less.
2. I can't delete all the mailboxes created by iCloud. Why all the new mailboxes?
3. Off subject, but the photo stream without the ability to remove unwanted photos individually renders it about useless for me. Any help?
4. How do I completely turn off iCloud - not only on my iphone but also on my Mac and anywhere else the cancer might be located.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Although your old Mac cannot use iCloud, you can still access your iCloud calendars etc through the website iCloud.com.

Just want to sync Outlook calendar and Iphone without paying extra $$
I am currently using Mobile Me trial membership to sync my Outlook Calendar and Iphone calendar. Just that only -- I don't want to sync my Outlook e-mail or contacts with my phone. But I don't want to pay $99 for for Mobile Me after the free trial runs out in October.
Will I have to pay to sync?
I need to sync them a couple times a day, it has to be secure, and I don't want to do it manually with a wire.
Any advice?Jon,
I could connect the cord and sync each night, but that's too difficult to remember.
That's how I did it for a year with the first iPhone. It wasn't that bad.
Still, over the air synching is pretty cool, especially if you update your calendar throughout the day and always want the latest information on the phone.

I have a personal email calendar kept on Outlook 2010, I also have an Exchange calender on Outlook. I want to sync both calendars with my Iphone 5 / 6.1.2 but ITunes only sees the exchange calendar.
How can I get Itunes to see both calendars?Hi,
you don't need MobileMe or anything fancy. I personally sync my Outlook calendar and my Outlook address book with three computers (two at the office and one at home)and besides I run Office 2003 on one, Office 2007 on the other and Office 2010 on the third, so it can't get more complicated than that, but it works 100%.
First sync Outlook with iTunes on one computer, having done that when you try to sync it to another machine, iTunes will recognize that it is synced with another computer and ask you if you want to merge the data, say yes, That's all there is to it.
It does not work for music as you rightly say but as far as Calendars and Contacts are concerned it's flawless and transparent.
If you hit a snag talk back to me.
Cheers. -
Is there a way to update my itouch 4.2.1 on my iMac 10.7.2 so that I can use iCloud on the touch? I want to sync my calendar.
It depends which generation of iPod Touch you have.
The 2nd generation Touch can only use iOS 4.2.1 as the latest version. You can identify the 2nd gen Touch from the model number etched into the back of the case, it's A1288.
The 3rd gen Touch (and above) can install iOS 5. The 3rd gen Touch has model number A1318 etched into the back of the case.
(The 4th gen has a camera, front and back.)

I have a new computer. I've installed iTunes. I don't want to lose the calendar and contact data nor the apps currently on my iPod Touch. Will that happen when I sync?
I don't think so. When you open iTunes, go to "Store" on the top and click "Authorize this Computer." Type in your email and pass, and click authorize. Then, when you connect you iPod for the first time, it should tell you "this iPod is synced with another computer, blah blah." It should give you the option to either "Erase and Sync," or "Transfer Purchases." Click "Transfer Purchases and your content should go into your new iTunes.
If this doesn't work and you still have your old computer there's another thing you can do. I know this works on windows, but I'm not sure how to do it on a Mac, maybe someone can offer some help. Assuming you have Windows, go to Start>Music>iTunes Media and you should see Music, Apps, Movies, etc. This is all the stuff in your iTunes. If you have an external hard drive or your iTunes library is small in terms of file size, you can do this in one go. Transfer the content (as much as you can fit at one time) onto the external storage. Then, put that content on your new computer on the desktop or somewhere where you can find it again. Open iTunes, and folder by folder highlight everything in the folder and drag it into the iTunes library. It should say "importing (content)" or something and then it should be in your library. If you look in your Music folder again, there should now be another "iTunes" folder there with all of your content back in it.
Hope one if these options works for you. Best of luck! -
why does my itunes say "Itunes could not connect to the iphone because the device timed out"? I just want to sync my iphone with my itunes. please help
If you are using a USB hub, don't. Connect directly to the computer. Disconnect all other USB devices except for keyboard and mouse.

My iphone will sync WILL NOT sync the Calendar on Outlook. Outlook is just blank
My iPhone will sync all other details but it will NOT sync the Calendar with Outlook - this just began this week - driving me insane - I need to have the Calendar on the iPhone working 2 way with Outlook so tha I can print off my Calendar for end of year review. Nothing I do will make them cross sync. I have also installed the iCloud but even this will not sync the Calendar on the iPhone with Outlook - frustrated - Mayo Ireland
Try going into settings - mail - outlook account - then uncheck the sync for calendar - then sync it back and see if that resolves the issue.

How do I sync the calendar on my Mavericks driven iMac with the calendar on my iPhone 4 IOS 7.0.4?
I want to sync my calendar from my Mavericks driven iMac to my iPhone 4 iOs 7.0.4. I used to do this easily through itunes but I have been informed I now have to use icloud to do so. I did not want to complicate my "mac" life by using icloud but have reluctantly tried to use it through both my phone and computer. Although I have been told that events will automatically update on both calendars, I am yet to see any evidence of this.
I feel unceratin about this whole process.
Can anybody help?This should work if you have the same settings for iCloud on the mac and the iphone and have the right things enabled:
on your mac:
Check Applications > System Preferences > iCloud
in account details, make sure you have the same apple ID as on the iPhone.
make sure the checkbox is checked next to Calendars
check system preferences > Internet accountsmake sure there is an iCloud account enabled and that Calendars is checked.
on your phone
check settings > icloud
make sure the apple ID is the same as on the mac
make sure the little green switch for calendars is on
check settings > mail, contacts, calendarsmake sure there is an icloud account, that it has the same apple ID listed for "account" , and that the little green switch for "calendars" is on
Then it should work. If all that is set properly and it still doesn't work, then report back- -

Yahoo Sync Error Message when I Syncs the Calendar.?!?
Hi, I've tried several fixes from this forum for this error but no go:
Intellisync - Error accessing internal map field.
I wiped out the calendar in yahoo and on device. wiped the BB. added the apointments i needed into yahoo.
It will sync one way to the device no problem but not both ways. If i dont sync the calendars all else works fine.
upgraded BDM to 4.7 from 4.6, BB 8830, Win XP home,
Help! I dont want to go back to Outlook! :[
GregJust look for the label on the bottom of your notebook (sticker should say Bluetooth). Make sure the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack (software/driver) is installed on your machine. The Bluetooth Manager is part of the Bluetooth Stack. If it isn't installed, you will have to install it.

HT201302 I have iphone 5 and itunes on my windows laptop, So i just want to restore the photos
I have iphone 5 and itunes on my windows laptop. Recently i back-uped my iphone and started using my iphone as a new one. But all the photos were in the back-up. So i just want to restore the photos. Since my laptop is windows, i cant get them by iphotos.
I was thinking that if i can sync just the photos to my iphone from by back-up, i can get the photos from iphone by transfering the files to my laptop.But i couldnt figure out how to sync just the "photos" of the whole back-up.
Do you have a better idea for getting the pics from the back-up? If not, can you help me by the option i suggested?
<Edited by Host>Hello SenaAkcicek,
If you want to restore data from a backup to your iPhone, you will need to restore the full backup, as you cannot select what items to be restored to an iPhone.
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support

Why doesn´t sync the calendar work after updating iPhone 3G to version 2.21
Help!!!
I updated my iPhone 3 G yesterday to the latest version 2.21. Unfortunately the update didn´t work properly, so I changed the USB plug-in and started again. This time I had to do a complete reinstallation of firmware and software. Everything worked well so far. My phone was recognized again and was updated to version 2.21. But when I wanted to sync the contacts and calendar (with Outlook 2007), videos, fotos, music and programs, the sync didn´t go on when the calendar should be synchronized with Outlook 2007. Another complete reinstallation didn´t help either. So what can I do?
Best regards
klaus 1003I have similar problems and spent nearly 2 hours on the phone with Apple support to no avail. Here are the specifics.
I updated my 3G to 2.2.1 and the sync did not take, though it left my laptop iCal in tact. Apple had me do the following: Hard reset of the phone; restart the computer; restore iPhone; Run the following in Terminal: /System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsyn c.pl full;run killall (i forget the rest) in Terminal; wipe clean and create a new user on the iphone and sync; numerous other ineffective attempts including discarding a sync related folder. Nothing worked. I could, at one point, sync iCal, but only "all day" events synced but that no longer works either. Also, my mail accounts were lost, but I had no problems with my music or apps. iCal and Mail are the two main reasons I have an iPhone :-P
Apple support was great and even made an appointment for me at the Apple Store, but I don't think I'll be going. Especially if Apple doesn't come out with 2.2.2 in the next 2 days. -
I have a brand new ipad with iOS 6.1.3 and an imac with OS 10.5.8. I cannot update my OS on this machine, but want to sync the new ipad. What can I do?
If it's an Intel Mac, you can upgrade it to Mac OS X 10.6.8.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, you need to use these instructions and/or iTunes Match to put content on the iPad.

I'm using a Mac. I "upgraded" to LR5 from LR4. I do not want to be a member of the "Creative Cloud". I just want to use the software I purchased, specifically to upload to my SmugMug account. Is there a way to use an add-on to do this? Aperture and LR4 were easy but I'm finding it impossible without subscribing to CC.
Sorry, maybe I don't understand, but why do you feel compelled to subscribe to CC if you already have a permanent Lightroom 5 licence?
For the SmugMug plugin, a simple Google search ("smugmug lightroom plugin") gives this link to download the plugin: http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/121321
Another way is to click the button "Find more services online..." in the the Publish Service section of Lightroom, and to search for SmugMug in the Adobe Add-ons portal; you will find a link to the latest plugin: https://creative.adobe.com/addons/products/1755

My iPad won't remember my iCloud log in.
When I try to sign in it checks off that it was accepted but immediately loses it. I've tried many times and it will not retain it. Can't get photos or anything else iCloud related without it.
