IMac, IPad, IPhone

In my Itunes accout, my IMac, Iphone, Ipad, and Ipod all are listed in the Itune Icloud list under my apple acount that is set up for the Itunes store. However, when I try to set up Icloud on any of my Apple devices, it states that the apple ID cannot be verified.
It makes no sense, it's like the left hand can't find the right hand.
Any advice.

trying to sync apps and music from my iMac to my new iPhone (totally lost, not a techie)
getting this message when I try:
"This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPhone “******’s iPhone”. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store"?
then this
"If you do not authorize this computer, 3 apps, including “*******”, and their data will be deleted from this iPhone.
it then asks me to "authorize" and when I enter my password and click "authorize" I get this message:
"There was an error storing your authorization information on this computer".
"The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed".
Afraid to do ANYTHING and am very VERY frustrated. How do I get my new iPhone to sync with the existing iTunes on my iMac? HELP!!

Is there a way to sync outlook calendars with Imac, Ipad, Iphone calendars. I am not running exchange server.

Is there a way to sync outlook calendars with Imac, Ipad, Iphone calendars? I am not running exchange server.

hello,
BlackBerry devices do not support ActiveSync.
you have several ways, from best to less good :
1)
if your company has set up Outlook Web Access, you can use the BIS connection of your device to connect to the Exchange server (email + Address book) through the url of the Outlook Web Access. The OWA needs to be accessible from outside the company.
2)
if your company has setup an external link to the exchange server (can be accessible from outside the company), you can configure your BIS directly to the Exchange server (email only if I recall correctly)
3)
if your company allows it, on your PC you can setup your email account to automatically forward all incoming emails to a third party email (like GMail or Hotmail), and then configure BIS to connect to that email provider. You will get push email. You can then setup a reply-to: field.
4)
use a Windows Mobile phone that has the ActiveSync feature.

Hello, If you are dealing with one of the really thin iMac's that have no superdrive, then the superdrive icon should not appear on the desktop when you plug it in, but when you put in a disk (CD, DVD, etc.) that should appear. If you go into disk utility, and look at superdrive, that should be clickable and not grayed out when you have it plugged in. If this does not show up in disk utility, go to Apple, and ask to speak to their supervisor, speaking to a customer service agent is like talking to a potato, nothing gets done. Good Luck!

TS4118 how to sync calendar/contacts with imac, ipad, & iphone

I am having issues syncing with all of my products and would love some assistance, please.
I have the new ipad and the iphone 5. I also have an imac running Mac OS X (version 10.6.8). I can sync the ipad and iphone 5 with icloud but I end up with a lot of duplicates. Nothing seems to be syncing with the imac.
I used to be able to keep my imac as the primary item that I would make all of the changes on, plug my ipad into the computer and when it would sync (over itunes), it would make the calendar/contacts adjustments on to the ipad, but since getting the iphone, that just isn't happening any more. Is it because of icloud? Now, there is nothing on my imac calendar - the iphone seems to be the primary with both the ipad & iphone having a ton of duplicates (both in the calendar and the contacts)!
Thanks sooo much for any assistance you can provide!

While waiting for a reply, you can read the documentation that was in the box your iPad came in. It's a book about a Spanish guy called Manual.
The answer is iTunes. Download it. Install it. Read the instructions. Use it.

Hi averyone,
Imac running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4
Ipad 2 running iOS 6.1.3 (10B329)
Iphone 4S running iOS 6.1.3 (10B329)
iCloud tabs in Safari (iMac AND iPad) are NOT showing pages opened on iPhone; only iPad pages for iMac, only iMac pages on iPad.
iPhone Safari however is showing pages opened on both iMac and iPad.
Please help resolve this MYSTERY. all 3 devices were iCloud resetted - OFF, reboot, then ON, multiple times.
nothing changed. Iphone is still synching only ONE way-
Appreciate

Hey Bruno-
Thanks for the question. The following article provides troubleshooting steps for iCloud Tabs:
iCloud: Using and troubleshooting iCloud Tabs
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5372
1. If Safari is open, quit Safari.
          - Double-click your Home button. Your open applications will appear in a row at the bottom of your screen.
          - Find the Safari icon. Touch and hold down the icon until the icons of your open applications start shaking.
          - Tap the red circle in the upper-left corner of the Safari icon. The icon will disappear from the list.
          - Press the Home button again to return to normal operations.
2. Tap Settings, and then tap iCloud.
3. Tap Safari to turn it off. Tap either Keep or "Delete from My iPhone" when asked if you want to delete synced data.
4. Press the Home button to exit Settings, and wait about one minute.
5. Tap Settings, and then tap iCloud.
6. Tap Safari to turn it on.
7. Press the Home button.
8. Open Safari, and test to see if the issue has been resolved.
- Turn off, and then restart your iPhone. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
Thanks,

Catastrophic Rendering Problem with PDF's on iMac, iPad, iPhone and iBooks

Hi,
i would like to hear from anybody who has had the same experience.
A customer sent me an order per email with an attached PDF order. We use apple mail for all incoming emails on an iMac.
Both in apple mail when viewing the attachment (no need to open it) and in the previewer using quick look and also having saved the attachment and opened it directly with previewer all seemed OK.
We delivered the product as requested but received a complaint because the client claimed that we had overlooked certain details in the order. This caused a considerable amount of disagreement because both parties felt they were right.
To make sure the documentation was complete we saved the attachment on our vmware- windows XP machine in our client data folders. We later opened the attachment on the windows machine which uses adobe reader and not apple previewer.
Lo and behold - all the details which the client said were contained were now visible.
Further investigation showed that any data which the client had printed/generated in bold font were not being displayed on the mac.
Unbelievable, so we forwarded the mail to a sevaral colleagues for double checking.
They all confirmed our findings. Apple mail and previewer do not display the same data as when using adobe reader.
Even worse: neither do the email displayer on ipad or iphone conform to what is displayed by the original. Even saving the docoment to iBooks does not help.
Our only guess is that the client who sent the PDF is probably using a non-adobe pdf creator which happens to work if you use adobe reader to display it but probably does not conform to the spec which others, such as apple, use when displaying. Maybe abobe reader is just more error tolerant.
I have sent feedback to apple but hardly think they will crash update all their products.
As it happened this caused an argument about a few euros. I hate to think what it could cause though.
-Paul-

While not common, what you describe is no unusual either. I can tell you that the person who created the PDF almost certainly used Adobe's products. It is Adobe that is not compatible with all of the other PDF implementations. I encourage you to submit a bug report to Apple and include a copy of the PDF. There was a "bug" in Apple's PDF rendering software in version 10.6.7 for which Apple released a fix fairly quickly. I say "bug" in quotes because the PDF was perfectly valid according to all published standards. All PDF viewing programs on either Mac or Windows could read the PDF - except Adobe.
Ultimately, PDF is a print technology and will fall by the technology wayside pretty soon.

Syncing issues with iMac, iPad & iPhone 4s

In the last couple of days all 3 devices just magically stopped syncing with each other, I haven't changed any settings at all and have installed all the updates as they have arrived (except Maverics OS) from the day I purchased them...what is happening?
This is extremely frustrating as I use them all every day for work!! It was so refreshing when I purchased them all, and they were working together beautifully, now its just a reminder of what I went from with the Microsoft headaches and 'software updates'...
Definately unimpressed!!
So what have I done so far to 'get them working' again?
I have checked the settings in iCloud...all the right buttons are 'on' as they should be, on all 3 devices!
I have done a backup into iCloud & onto MyMac, of the iPhone and iPad, and also a backup of the iMac into the Time Capsule.
Not sure what to do from here though...last time this happened it was a couple of weeks before 'everything just magically started working again' and things were somewhat restored.
Does Apple have the occasional 'outage' with the iCloud? Does a server go down somewhere rendering any hours spent on trying to get to the bottom of this issue useless?
Would love to know any answers anyone has...

Managing photos with iMac, iPad, iPhone using iPhoto

Help! Can anyone point me to how to gain some control over photos in this Apple environment, because my experience has been horrible so far.
As much as I love and have used Apple products since the mid-80's, to the same extent I detest the lack of understanding I have for controlling my photos across my devices. I will use the iPad as my foil, but it applies to the phone as well. I know how to search the web.
Where is a scheme described for simply managing photos? There seems no reason for many photos from my iPhoto library to be on my iPad. I have not opened the photos, nor explicitly placed them in photo stream.
I spent hours in iPhoto yesterday and deleted several thousand photos. Apparently, I only thought I deleted many if them, because they are still in my IPad and some are in iphoto.
Can I wipe out all the photos on the iOS devices, lock the devices so icloud can't put any back on until I wish, then allow me to select which I want to put on again, then start to trust PhotoStream?
Is there anyone with good information?
I really hate all the trial and error with this, and no satisfaction.
Last week I thought I sent some pictures of some people to PhotoStream to show when I went to visit them. Hours later, with iPad, wanting to show the Photos, none i wanted to were there, by my PhotoStream share had a lot of pictures I do not care about. WTH? I have great wi-Fi. Everything is connected. Fine demonstration that was!

What version fo iPhoto and system are you running:
If you're using Photo Stream in iPhoto on your iMac disengage Automatic Upload in the iPhoto/Photo Stream preference pane:
Now you will have to manually add photos to Photo Stream in iPhoto if you want them to be on your iPhone's Photo Stream.
You can remove photos in PS from iPhoto by selecting them and Control (right)-clicking and selecting Delete from Photo Stream:

Facetime sur iMac, iPad, iPhone

Bonjour,
J'utilise Facetime sur mon iMac et mon iPad avec mon identifiant Apple et lorsque l'on m'appelle sur une de mes boites mail, Facetime sonne sur les deux appareils.
Depuis que j'ai l'iPhone 5, je peux aussi utiliser Facetime sur mon téléphone (j'avais précédemment un iPhone 3GS).
Mes adresses mail sont également configurées sur mon téléphone mais lorsque l'on m'appelle sur mon numéro, Facetime ne sonne que sur le téléphone.
Je croyais que toutes les informations étaient désormais réunies sur tous nos devices.
Quelqu'un aurait la solution pour que je puisse répondre sur mon iMac à tous les appels ?
Merci par avance

Seeking general tutorial for iMac, iPad, iPhone

Syncing iPad iPhone iMac with Google Calendar, everything you want to know

Ok Guys, I just spent the last 4 hours going nuts with experimentations, trials and errors, and I finally think I figured it out, so bear with me here because it's not that simple. And excuse me for the poor english, I'm from Brazil.
Ok, in the iMac you're gonna set up a CalDAV account with your google login/password. It will work flawlessly and you won't have any problems, it will always update the google calendar and be updated by it. Just remember to use CMD+R to refresh it whenever you want, so you don't have to wait the 15 minutes or whatever you set in preferences.
Now let's talk iPad and iPhone. First of all, you have 2 options to sync calendars with Google, you can use protocol CalDAV or protocol Exchange.
Google's setup instructions for CalDAV (both iPhone and iPad) is here: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=151674
The instructions for both iPhone and iPad for Exchange is here:
http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740
(just be sure to select calendar only, cause I'm assuming you're using IMAP or other protocol for mail and contacts).
The main difference between CalDAV and Exchange is that Exchange supports push updates, wich is instant, while with CalDAV you have to fetch manually (every time you open the calendar app) or another time setting (like 15 min, one hour, etc).
Well, my experiences revealed that the iPhone and the iPad will sync flawlessly with Google Calendar and the iMac, without any problems, BUT as long as you use Exchange AND Push to update the calendars (CalDAV doesn't support Push, and you need Push so the iPad sync works).
Let me repeat that: IF and ONLY IF you have BOTH Exchange protocol configured and PUSH enabled iPad and iPhone will sync flawlessly. But many people (me included) dont want to use push because a) it has a battery hit b) they don't need instant updates c) it consumes cellular data when you're not on Wifi, and if you don't have an unlimited plan that's not good.
So, if you TURN OFF PUSH with Exchange sync, the iPad will stop syncing properly. Curiously, the iPhone will continue syncing properly.
What I discovered is that, on the iPad, doesn't matter if you use CalDAV or Exchange, the moment you turn OFF push notifications it won't sync manually anymore. And by that I mean that with push off the iPad will not refresh calendar data when you open the calendar app (as it should since push is off and manual fetch is selected).
To sum it up, I discovred that with push OFF in both the iPad and the iPhone (either with Exchange or CalDAV):
- The iPhone will update both google calendar and the iMac;
- The iphone will be updated by both google calendar and the iMac and events created in the iPad;
- The iPad will NOT be updated when you open the calendar app, so it won't see any changes made either on the iPhone, iPad or Google Calendar, but when you create new events in the iPad you will see the data icon spinning so it will send that event to the other 3, but it will not recieve anything.
On macrumors forum people discovered that on the iPad, if you open your calendar, close it, change settings from manually fetch to 15 minutes or whatever, it will sync the next time you open your calendar. But it's unreliable (doesn't work every time), not to mention that you won't want to do that every time you need to sync your calendar !
What about the iPhone ? Well, in my experiences I found out that it doesn't matter if you use Exchange OR CalDAV, it will manually sync with push off every time you open the calendar app. Just a sidenote: the iPhone wasn't manually refreshing with push off as well, just like the iPad, but as soon as I rebooted it started to sync manually every single time and it has been so far. But the iPad didn't sync manually every time even after I rebooted it.
To end it all, how to know if the calendar is manually syncing with Push OFF ? Well, just open the calendar app and after 5 seconds you should see the data spinning logo right next to the 3G or Wifi icon in the status bar. It must happen EVERY time you open the calendar app (you don't even need to force quit the calendar app for it to happen, it must happen every time you hit home and then open the calendar again). If it's not spinning (recieving data) 5 seconds after you opened the calendar app, it's not manually syncing, so on the iPhone you should reboot and on the iPad there's no fix I found so far (besides the unreliable fix of chaning the fetch time like I said before).
Oh, I did all these tests with an iPhone 3GS running iOS4 (don't complain it's not 4.2.1, cause the iPhone IS working, the problem is with the iPad), and an iPad running 4.2.1.
I just hope this thread gets attention because It almost drove me nuts to figure out all these things.
Cheers,
Felipe Raul

An update: I am seeing the CalDAV account sync more frequently than the 15 minute interval I have Fetch set to, sometimes as soon as 5-6 minutes. This is however going in/out of the calendar app multiple times... Every once in a which it will update.
I've found no pattern as to what triggers the sync. It doesn't seem to matter if I go into another app or not, or whether I close out the calendar app from the task menu. It's just totally random.
You might say, "what's wrong with just letting it fetch every 15 minutes as it is schedule to do?" Well, most of the time this would be ok, but there are occasionally moments when a decision must be made and an up-to-the-minute current accurate calendar is required for this to happen.
At this point, I'm going to have to keep my priority/vital calendars syncing via Exchange/push, and use CalDAV/push for the less vital calendars and at least have control over calendar colors with those.
Also, just wanted to mention that all the above testing has been over a stable wifi connection, rather than 3G or Edge, in case it makes a difference. (I don't think it does.)
