I want to sync my computer to my Iphone - contacts & calendar.  All the instructions I have received give me instructions on how to sync my Iphone to my computer.  I want the opposite.tr

I want to sync my computer with my iphone, that is I want to transfer contacts and calendar from my computer to my iphone. All the instructions I can find is how to do the opposite, that is transfer the information from my iphone to my computer.

The ipod is not a backup device.  The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  the exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old comptuer, to your new one.

  • Home pc is under my husband's user id, I have an iPad and iPhone under my apple id.  I have more music on my iPad then on pc or iPhone.  If I set up synching over wifi for my devices... What do they sync to?  Will the songs on iPad be added to phone/pc?

    Home pc is under my husband's user id, I have an iPad and iPhone under my apple id.  I have more music on my iPad then on pc or iPhone.  If I set up itunes synching over wifi for my devices... What do they sync to?  Will the songs on iPad be added to phone/pc?  Or will the iPad and iPhone be synced (matched) to pc and reflect what is on that device?

    Home Sharing is designed to work on your local network not across the internet/cloud.
    Stuff is accessed under the Computers column where your local iTunes library on a local computer would appear.
    Home Sharing would share your iTunes content (i.e. stuff stored in itunes on the computer, not in the cloud) with AppleTV or an iPad etc on the SAME network.
    AppleTV2 will not be able to see itunes content on the work computer over the internet.  It's not designed to.  if the work computer was on the home network it would.
    iCloud is in it's infancy and is not a mature product - iTunes TV Show purchases appear on AppleTV, but currently music does not unless you are subscribed to iTunes Match. I find this rather odd to be honest, along with the inability to buy music on AppleTV2.  Movies purchased in iTunes are not authorised for iCloud viewing currently either.
    Maybe it has something to do with iTunes Match 'getting in the way' - i think they assume you'll use that whereas you really want to be able to access Purchased music from the cloud without subscribing to itunes Match which is overkill for some.

  • How to transfer SMS and Call History from Iphone 5 to Iphone 6 plus? Only the contacts, calendar, safari bookmarks and notes have synced.

    Hi! Please help. I have synced my IPhone 5 to Itunes. When I try to sync it to Iphone 6 plus, only the contacts, calendar, safari bookmarks and notes have synced to the latest date. The rest like SMS and Call History have only synced to June 2013.

    I upgraded from an iPhone 4S to iPhone 6 Plus, I don't like to run iTunes, and iCloud backup is not so reliable, I think. Then I searched on the Internet, and some articles told me that I can directly transfer data from Phone to iPhone with some tools.
    I doubt it first, then I gave a shot on one of them for the free trial. I follow the steps to transfer about 200 sms from my 4S to 6 Plus, and it works!
    Got this from here: http://www.cultofmac.com/296711/transfer-data-new-iphone-6-imazing/
    Hope this helps!

    You might still be able to recover them using one of the methods discussed in this older thread, but many of them require a full functional, noncorrupted iPod filesystem in order to work properly.

  • I have used Pages 09 and Keynote without any major problems until this new update. I have read many of the fixes but have a problem. When you get Pages 09 and Keynote back, Apples continues to want to update the 09 system. So it stays updated.

    I have used Pages 09 and Keynote without any major problems until this new update. I have read many of the fixes but have a problem. When you get Pages 09 and Keynote back, Apples continues to want to update the 09 system. So it stays updated. I have had to turn off my auto updating that was nice but I'll do it one at a time in order to keep the Pages 09 and Keynote. When something works don't mess with it. Any fixes out there?

    I can't say that I have had a problem playing videos in Flash because I could always play them in browsers other than Firefox.
    In Firefox Tools>options>Advanced Hardware acceleration is turned on.
    I don't know if that is different that tuning it off and on in Flash or not, but for now it is a moot point.
    As I stated in my previous message, after following all earlier suggestions/instructions nothing helped. But The latest one, someone suggested that maybe version 17 of Flash might be a stable version.
    I made no other changes except to install it, a few days ago, and so far so good.
    Many thanks for your help,

  • My ipad mail is synced to my iMac mail account. On iPad, I can only see my inbox and sent messages. I can't see any of the folders I have created on my iMac. How do I do that? Probably a dumb question, but I know there's a lot of smart people out there!

    My iPad mail is synced to my private email account, which I organise on my iMac. On iPad, I can only see inbox and sent messages folders, not any of the other folders in my email account I have created on my iMac. How do I get iPad to show my other folders? Probably a dumb question, but I know there's a lot of smart people out there.

    If you select a mailbox, you should get an Edit button (easier to see in landscape mode). Clicking the button will provide you with check circles for the messages. You also get Delete and Move buttons at the bottom. Check the messages you want to move and then navigate to the mailbox you want to drop them into. I think as long as you can navigate to a mailbox you can move the messages to it.
    In the Mac Mail application and probably Outlook on the Windows side, you also setup rules to move messages to specific mailboxes. If the mailboxes are stored on the server, then you can have the sorting done on the server and they should appear that way on the iPad. If your later messages do not show up, you may need to have the iPad app pulled down more messages until they are all showing.

  • IPhone Contacts & Calendars not syncing with mobileme

    Apologies if there is a solution to this posted already, I can't find it despite extensive searching!
    My iPhone Calendars & Contacts do not sync with MobileMe. I can't find a way of exporting or saving the data on the iPhone and importing it into my desktop iCal & Contacts apps.
    I have looked at all troubleshooting help I can find, and all is suggested is deleting/ resetting the phone & syncing from MobileMe. However, if I do this I will lose lots of contacts & calendar entries.
    The data will NOT sync from my phone despite following all available instructions. My desktop apps are all set to sync with MobileMe & this works fine, it's just the iPhone data will not transfer to MobileMe.
    Please help!!

    Since you are syncing your iPhone with your Mac, it should be syncing your contacts and calendars with your Mac as well (and your bookmarks if you have it set up to sync). You should have Mobile Me setup on your Mac to at least sync your Calendars and Contacts, which should be updating your Mobile Me account. If you want to check to make sure that all of your contacts that are on your iPhone are on your Mac, simply open up the Contacts App. Once you check this, add your Mobile Me account to your iPhone and let it sync your contacts and calendars, it will delete all the contacts and calendars that are currently on your iPhone, but the same data is on your Mac anyways. Once Mobile Me syncs with your iPhone you won't have to worry about it anymore.
    If you are having problems where you already setup your Mobile Me account on your iPhone and it's not syncing properly, deleted it, restart your iPhone, then add it again.
    Does this help?

  • I just signed up for the New REVEL service and I need to know How do I download it to my Computer?

    i currently use ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 9 to Download and Edit my Photos from my Camera.
    Now, I just signed up (under the Monthly Plan) for the New REVEL Service. How do I Download it to my Computer.
    My Computer uses the WINDOWS 8 Operating System.
    HELP,
    TOBY

    Hi Toby
    Welcome to Adobe Revel! You do not need to download anything right now. Currently on a PC you access Revel via adoberevel.com on a web browser.
    Here are some useful links for you that might speed up the learning curve. They show you how to do things in the browser version as well as Mac and iOS. PC users can not edit using adoberevel.com. The apps include editing. Since Elements versions prior to version 11 do not connect to Revel, you can save to your hard drive and upload to Revel from there.
    You can sign up to be notified when a Revel app is available for Windows and Android by going to http://www.photoshop.com/products/revel ….scroll down and look on the right side where it says "coming soon- Notify me" for windows or android. Click and you can sign up to be notified.
    In the coming months, we will expand Revel onto new platforms, devices, and file formats.

    where can i find my data/backup file on my account? thanks

    The restore from backup process is all or nothing, & if you've been told NOT to restore from backup, there is no supported way to "selectively" restore an iPhone backup. You can use third-party software to "extract" data from your backup:

  • I just bought a Macbook Air 256 computer. I use three different email accounts. I have two questions: On Windows I simply go to Google, click on Mail, and one of the three email accounts comes up. How can I do this on the Macbook? Thanks for your response

    I also have a second question: How can I trash all unwanted emails by checking all of them and just clicking "trash" as I do with the Windows 7 computer?
    Thanks for your response.
    Bob

    In your PC, you accessed to your Google Mail account using your browser. In Mac, the process is the same, but as your Mac is new, first you have to log in Google with your Google account.
    If you want, instead of having to open Safari every time you want to check mail, you can use the Mail application included in OS X. Open System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars, and add all your mail accounts. They will be automatically set up to be used in Mail, so just open the app.
    Then, after opening Mail, the process of deleting more than one mail is as simple as choosing the ones you want to delete pressing the Command key, and then, press the trash button in the toolbar

  • I broke my old 4S and purchased the same one. I am trying to back up my contacts and notes stored on iCloud w/out wiping everything out. How do I go about doing so? I want to retrieve what I backed up priviously earlier in the month.

    I had to buy a new phone b/c my last one broke before my 2 year contract was up. I have another 4S. I use iCloud and backed up my old phone earlier this month. I am wanting to upload my contacts & notes stored on iCloud to my new phone. How can I do this from the back up on my home computer before retrieving the backup from iCloud? I am not wanting to wipe everything out on accident..

    Sorry but I'm a bit confused about what you're asking.  You seem to be indicating that you have an iCloud backup as well as a backup on your computer but it isn't clear to me what you are trying to do with them.  Can you explain this?

  • I have purchased music with my old apple id, old computer and old email. My old email and computer are not available anymore and I dont remember my password and securtiy question anymore. How can I authorise my old apple id to authorise the new computer?

    Hi, I have a new computer and new apple id. I've purchased music with my old computer, email and apple id.
    I cant access now the previously purchase music, because it wants to authorize the new computer to play the
    music. I cant remember password and security questions for my old id and the old email doest exist anymore.
    What can I do?

    Hi, Carmen. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    If you need to reset you security questions, do not know the answers and no longer have access to that email account, see the last sentence under Note in step 5.
    You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need tocontact iTunes Store support in order to do so.
