Imac, mobile me and iphone not syncing

I had a big software problem with my iMac and I was told i might need a new hard drive and so I was afraid (probably needlessly) that if i had a new hard drive and lost all my info that my contacts and calendar on my imac would be blank and that it might then turn my mobile me and iphone calendar and contacts blank.
So I guess I turned something off on the off chance that could happen. So now this is what is going on and i want to fix it.
If I add a calendar date to my iphone neither mobile me or my imac calendar are updated.
If I add a calendar date to mobile me the imac is updated but the iphone is not.
If I add a calendar date to the imac mobile me is updated and the iphone is not.
So it looks like I've somehow turned off my iphone from the mix. How do I turn it back on?
Thanks for your help,
Susan

In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

  • Ipad and iphone not syncing with icloud

    My ipad AND iphone 4S have stopped syncing with icloud - for calendar and reminders at least - suspect for all apps - any suggestions anyone? Have tried ensuring default calender is the same across all, but thus is also impacting other apps.. Help appreciated.

    Do you mean per app? Have done for calendar on iphone, but reluctant to do so on ipad as that's the one that contains loads of updates (as it means deleting everything on the ipad?)... if I have to do this I will eventually, its just that as it's both my iphone and ipad involved, it seems like it might be more likely to be an icloud issue? She said hopefully...

  • Why won't the folders in Mail sync consistently across my iMac, MacBook, iPad and iPhone?

    Ok, this one is complex; here's the deal..... 
    I'm using a single Gmail account with Mail on an iMac, MacBook, iPad and iPhone, using Lion and iOS 5. The 4 respective 'Mails' are not synchronising consistently between each other.  Here's what's going on:
    Received messages are appearing in all 4 Inboxes.
    If a message is deleted from any of the 4 Inboxes, it is deleted from all other Inboxes.
    So far so good. But:
    When I create a draft message, or delete a message from the Sent folder - iMac and Macbook sync with each other, and iPad and iPhone sync with each other, but each 'pair' won't sync with the other 'pair'.
    But to complicate things further (and this is the one which is driving me up the wall), let's look at the Sent folder:
    If I send a message from the iMac or Macbook, the message appears in all 4 Sent folders.
    But if I send a message from the iPad or iPhone, those 2 devices will sync their Sent folders, but the message will NOT appear in the Sent folders of the iMAc or MacBook.
    So what is going on there? I've spoken to numerous One-to-One staff and Apple technicians on the phone over the last 12 months, we've checked settings, I've deleted and then reinstalled the Gmail account on Mail - but no success.  Please solve this for me!!

    The reason I asked is because keying all devices synced is exactly what it is all about.
    FYI, You need to use the Mail application, but you do NOT need to use an @me.com account. It support Gmail and other mail servers.

  • Iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update.  I have done all trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail.

    iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update.  I have done recommendedl trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail. Can I go back to earlier version of itunes or restore computer to fix?

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

    Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

    Yes, it will. You cannot merge information on the phone. If you want the old messages, you will need to restore from a backup of the old phone, which will make the new phone look just like the old phone. If you want to save the messages from the new phone, you will not be able to get the messages from the old phone.

  • HT1212 my iphone is disabled and it wont give me a chance to do the passcode and its not synced how do i fix it

    My phone is disabled for a long time and its not synced how can i change the passcode

    You need to restore the device. It is the only way to disable the passcode. Your data is already lost unless you have synced this phone in the past. See this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212

  • Mountain Lion (server and client) and iOS Notes syncing

    I run an IMAP server on my Mac mini running Mountain Lion 10.8.3 and Server 2.2.1. I have an email account on this server and can access and update Mail on both my MacBook Air (Mac OS X 10.8.3) and my iPhone (iOS 6.1.3) and see the results on the other device.  However, I cannot get Notes to sync.
    I created a note on my iPhone but it does not appear on my MacBook.  This is the only account that has Notes enabled on my iPhone; if I turn Notes off for this account the note disappears and comes back when turn them back on again.

    How can I get Notes to sync between my OS X and iOS devices?
    NOTE: Helpful as you may try to be, I am not looking for alternatives to Notes.  Syncing to any IMAP server should work and there is nothing to say it doesn't work so I want to get it working for me.  It is all about storing my data on my server and none of the other options address this.

    After trying everything else, I discovered the answer by just "playing around:" You need to allow clear text passwords for Mail.  Once I'd made this change my Notes automatically appeared and stay in sync on all of my devices (iMac, MacBook Air and iPhone).  This is still working after the update to OS X Mavericks and Server 3.

  • Iphone not syncing with 64-bit Vista Ultimate

    hello, i order a new iphone and can not sync with itunes. windows is detecting it is connected, but not with itunes. I try to see if it can connect with my laptop(windows XP Home 32-Bit) and it can, so it was not the phone that can't sync with itunes. i try everything from uninstalling to running MSCONFIG Mode and checking that apple mobile Device is working. Itunes is up to date and windows vista is as well.
    Anyone else have this problem and may have a solution to it.

    CPU: Intel Quad-Core Q6600
    GPU: GeForce 8600 GTS
    RAM: 4 GB of PC6800
    Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit Service Pack 1 Update.

    Hi,
    You did not mention whether you tried creating a test admin user, that might be worth trying.
    You could trying uninstalling iTunes completely and then download fresh copy and use the 'right-click' then 'run as admin' approach to installing itunes.
    How to completely uninstall iTunes... http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305409
    You could try connecting the phone using forced recovery as described here... http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305797
    You do meet the requirements...
    Windows system requirements
    * PC with USB 2.0 port
    * Windows Vista Home Premium, Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate Edition; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
    * iTunes 7.5 or later
    Let me know if anything mentioned worked... Good Luck!

  • I just upgraded to the new mobile me calendar and now all my calendar entries on iCal have been erased. As I type this the calendar entries are still on the mobile me and iphone calendars. How do I restore the calendar entries to iCal?

    I just upgraded to the new mobile me calendar and now all my calendar entries on iCal have been erased. As I type this the calendar entries are still on the mobile me and iphone calendars. How do I restore the calendar entries to iCal?

    Please always post your System details when you have a query. The upgrade to the new MobileMe calendar produces different results, and different problems, with different versions of OSX.
    Snow Leopard: during the upgrade process your iCal calendars should be moved to MobileMe (this can take some time and you have to wait for it to happen). Once done, your iCal reads the calendars from MobileMe so any changes made in either place will be visible immediately. If this has not happened then this Apple Tech Note provides instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3397
    Leopard: when the upgrade is completed iCal on Leopard will not be able to see the MobileMe calendars until an additional process is carried out, detailed in this Apple Tech Note:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4330
    Tiger: iCal on Tiger cannot read the MobileMe calendars, period. The only workaround is to upgrade to Leopard, or Snow Leopard if possible (Intel Mac required).

  • HT4489 Ever since the last update IOS5.1.1, calendar entries are not saved on Icloud, and would not sync on all I clould devices

    After the last update of IOS5.1.1, all caledar entries are not saved on Icloud and thus not synced on all my Icloud devices, even though, spreadsheets are synced, photostream is working and contacts is syncing, only calendar items.  Anybody has the same problem? Or a solution to this kind or problem?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • After downloading iTones 10.5.1, the artwork matchs the song that is playing on my iMac but the artwork does not sync properly on my Apple TV. The artwork lags one cover behind. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem.

    After downloading iTones 10.5.1, the artwork matchs the song that is playing on my iMac but the artwork does not sync properly on my Apple TV. The artwork lags one cover behind. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem.

    I think it is just a bug, but it in very frustrating. I was using just now for about an hour and suddenly the correct artwork appeared for what was playing....but then all went wrong again!!
    Apple, please, please issue a patch for this. It surely cannot be too complicated to correct.
