I've updated one of my contacts and the entry is corrected on my iMac and my iPhone, but not MacBook. Why not?
I've updated one of my contacts (to correct their email address) and the correction was made on my iMac (where I made the correction) and my iPhone, but not on my MacBook. All three devices are on the "cloud"...
but not on my MacBook. All three devices are on the "cloud"...
On the Macbook switch Contacts off then back on in System Preferences > iCloud then restart the Mac.

Help! iPhone 5 works with iCloud for Contacts and Photo Stream, but Not Music!
Okay, totally stumped! I have an iPhone 5, which, new, I restored from wife's iPhone 4 backup, remotely (3 Months ago). I just signed into our family Apple ID, chose the most recent backup, and did a restore. So, contacts, and photos and Apps backup to the cloud instantly, which is shared on all devices. Likewise, when my wife takes a phone picture, I can see it in the stream: all without doing an iTunes Sync. My phone's settings have my number associated with my contact card, so the phone doesn't "think" it is my wife's phone.
The dilemna: iCloud won't send my phone new music purchases from our iMac, or iPad. My phone has it's own physical identity on Find My iPhone, but interestingly, it does not appear in the list of devices, in the "Manage my Devices" section when I am signed into iTunes with my Apple ID. Furthermore, even though I have the phone settings to Sync with iTunes wirelessly, when plugged into AC power, with iTunes on, the iPhone 5 does initiate backups with iTunes; even after rebooting iTunes. My phone does not appear in the list of devices for iTunes, AND the only way I can sync with my computer is with the USB/Lightning cable. Even then, I do not get music purchases to load onto my iPhone which i have bought on my computer.
Currently running Mac OSX 10.7.5 on my iMac and IOS 6.1 on my iPhone5.
Appreciate any help,
THANKSThe way I do that is to organize them on my computer. I periodically import all of the Camera Roll to the computer. That is a good thing to do to insure you have a copy in case of loss of the phone or other problem, even if you backup the phone. Import can be done by methods described in iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Once they are on the computer I organize them in iPhoto on my Mac. If you have a Windows computer you can organize them in folders. Once they are on the computer I delete them all from the Camera Roll on the phone to make it easier next time -- i.e., the Camera Roll always only contains the photos that I haven't yet organized.
I only want some of the pictures that I am keeping to be sent back to the phone, so in Windows I made a second copy of those (in iPhoto on a Mac I use Albums instead). I had a main folder (e.g. "Photos for iPhone") and subfolders (only 1 level below the main folder) with various topics. Then use iTunes to sync the photos back to the phone (selecting the main folder). iTunes: Syncing photos
The end result is that they are organized in Albums on the phone, are not in the Camera Roll, and I have a copy of them on my computer. -
I have accepted a repeating Calendar event invitation. It displays on both my office and home Macs and on my iPhone, but it doesn't show up on my iPad. I've checked to ensure that the proper Calendar is displaying on the iPad, and all of my other events seem to be displaying just fine. I'm stumped by this one!

Itunes shows and charges iphone but not ipad2
Third day of working on this... First my ipad would not open apps. After installing and reinstalling itunes repeatedly I am still at a place where i plug in my iphone and it shows, charges, and syncs. But i plup in the ipad to the same usb and nothing...
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

I caught my phone 4. Had to buy a new one, lost all contacts, and calendar photos. how can I recover them?
What does "I caught my phone 4" mean?
All contacts, calendars, photos etc should be on your computer as the iphone is designed to be synced to your computer.
Just sync them to your new iphone.

Hi. I've tried updating one of my apps and I received this message: "there is not enough available storage to download..You can manage your storage in settings." Anyone else having this same issue?
Well, if you don't have enough space, then there's nothing wrong, right?
You can check available space under Settings> General> About or by plugging it into iTunes and looking at the color-coded bar. -
I set a Special Ring Tone for One of my contacts and now I want to set the standard tone again. How can I adjust the iPhone to always use the standard tone?
Yeah, I did. But if I go to settings and change the standard ring tone again, the ring tone for that special contact is still the old standard tone. But I want to 'tell' my iPhone/iPad that this contact should always have the standard ringtone from settings.

My iPhone says that I don't have enough storage to update one of my apps so I went to delete stuff that I didn't need but every time I select what I want to delete my phone freezes, goes back to the home screen and doesn't delete anything.
First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

After the last update is no longer contact to the internet or to whatsapp? What can I do with my iphone 5?
No internet access when connected to an available wi-fi network and the same when connected to your carrier's cellular network, or when connected to your carrier's cellular network only?
Any error message provided? -
I can send messages to one of my contacts on my iPhone but not on my iPad. Why?
I can send messages to one of my contacts on my iPhone but not on my iPad. Why?
Does the contact you are sending the message to use an iPhone?
The iPhone will send and receive both iMessages and Text messages (SMS).
The iPad will only send and receive iMessages.
iPads cannot receive SMS text messages. -
I'm not sure how to sync contacts and iCal between my older Macbook Pro and my new iMac. I've searched on Google for a few explanations, but they seem fairly complicated. Are there any easy ways to make this happen?
Is this a one time sync or do you want to keep them synced all the time?
If it's a one time sync you want to use Setup Assistant to migrate your data from the old machine to the new one. You can use the Lion Setup Assistant tips for help.
If you want to always keep them synced you have several alternatives. First is you can wait for iCloud which will be released this Fall according to Apple. You can find information about iCloud at www.apple.com/icloud. Several years ago I began using a tool called Synctogether which syncs Bookmarks, Calendars, Contacts, Widgets, Dock Items, Mail Accounts and Mail Signatures. You just check what you want synced, for example I do Bookmarks, Calendars and Contacts. This app sells for about $49 I think, however if I were you I'd wait for iCloud which will give you 5GB (which is a LOT) for free. -
I performed the update to 3.6.6, and now Firefox will not open on Mac OS 10.6.4. I hope I haven't lost all my bookmarks, etc.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after the update to 3.6.6Using your link, I downloaded the new version. When I dragged the Firefox icon into the applications folder, it asked if I wanted the new version to replace the existing one, and I said yes. I was then told that it couldn't be done because I had insufficient privileges for some items. Is the reason for this that I didn't trash the old version BEFORE dragging the new one into the applications folder (under the assumption that "replace" meant that the old version was trashed as the new one was installed)? If not, it appears that I am back to the same problem I've had before.
Since I'll be replacing this computer soon, it seems too troublesome to bother with this update. I'd just like the update reminders to go away! -
every time i try to download updates i get an error and told to restart my macbook pro. why? what to do?
This is a rare error, so excuse me if I ask some basic questions:
1. Do you update your Apple software through the Software Update pulldown menu? If not, I'd suggest doing that.
2. Do you perform diagnostics? If not, you can perform a Permissions check by going to Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility and running it.
3. Do you perform other diagnostics? Download Onyx to your Mac, and perform a full diagnostic on your machine. You'll need to reboot.
4. Have you tried to download updates individually from Apple? Not the perfect solution, but there's a good chance it will work.
5. Have you used Terminal? If you go to Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type "sudo softwareupdate --install --all", and enter. Software Update should work.
6. If all fails, consult help at your Apple Store, if there's one nearby. -
