IMac to iPad to iPhone

Have a software idea but do not have any idea how to make it work. As I sit I front of my iMac I need to put some information on my iPad. But the only way to put the information on my iPad I have to copy it and then paste it in an email and then copy and paste to my iPad. There should be an app or something that you could transfer information just the same way you transfer app from page to page. Or be able to click send to iPad, or iPhone would be nice. Let me know if it already exist.

If your iPad and iPhone have iOS 7 which requires iTunes 11.1 to sync, then you'll have to upgrade your iMac to Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later. iTunes 11.1 won't run on Mac OS X 10.5.8. Assuming your iMac can run Mac OS X 10.6:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4949
then you can purchase a retail copy of the 10.6 installer from the Apple Store for US $19.95. Once you upgrade your iMac to that version of OS X, you'll be able to install iTunes 11.1.
Regards.

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.

If your network configuration is:
Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > [WAN] AEBS > (wireless) > Macs, then
AirPort Extreme Base Station Setup (AEBS) w/High-Speed Cable Modem
Modem/Router Power ReCycling
- Power-off the Cable modem, AEBS, & computer(s). (If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
- Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the computer(s)
Perform a "hard" reset of the AEBS.
- (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107451)
Setup the AEBS
With the network components powered down, set up the AEBS, using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the LAN port of the AEBS, and then, try these settings:
AirPort tab
- Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- AirPort Network Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- Create a closed network (unchecked)
- Wireless Security: Not enabled
- Channel: Automatic
- Mode: 802.11b/g Compatible
Internet tab
- Connect Using: Ethernet
- Configure: Using DHCP
- WAN Ethernet Port: Automatic
Network tab
- Distribute IP addresses (checked)
- Share a single IP address (using DHCP & NAT) (enabled)
Once you verified that you can get Internet access for all of your computers, you should secure your wireless network. To do so, I suggest that you make these changes:
AirPort tab (optional)
- Create a closed network (checked)
Change Wireless Security
- Wireless Security: WPA Personal
Base Station Options - WAN Ethernet Port
- Enable SNMP Access (unchecked)
- Enable Remote Configuration (unchecked)
- Enable Remote Printer Access (unchecked)
Wireless Options
- Transmitter Power: 10%
Access Control tab (optional)
- + <add the computer(s) that will access this wireless network>

Transfer iMovie from iMac to iPad or iPhone 4

Hi, i do have iMac, iPhone and iPad. I am using iPhone for about 6 months and iMac and iPad bought in last 3 weeks. My question is related to various applications on iMac like iMovie. Is it possible to transfer / use the iMovie on iMac to iPad or iPhone with out paying additional amount of money? If yes - how?
If no - why? I have paid for imovie while buying iMac so I should be free to use it on all my apple devices.
Thanks

The iMac runs on totally different operating system than the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. You could not use the Mac version of iMove on an iDevice so you would have to purchase the app for the iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch.

I keep getting an error message when I try to sync my ipad or iphone to my iMac: "The iPad (or iPhone) cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-50)." What is this about? Thanks

I keep getting an error message when I try to sync my iPad or iPhone to my iMac, as follows: The iPad "_________" cannot be synced. An unknonw error occurred (-50). Does anyone know what this is about - thanks.

Error -50 is a very unhelpful generic communications error with a number of possible causes. Something between the drive to which you are downloading and the drive from which it is all coming is not working correctly, which probably leaves several hundred options.

Two of my 7 calendars aren't syncing correctly via icloud from iMac to ipad and iphone. i cant find the problem. Help!

Two calendars in my list of seven are not correctly syncing between my iMac and my ipad & iPhone. Also, the two calendars appear in my iCloud list with alert symbols after the (triangle with exclamation mark) whereas others in list show a "broadcasting" symbol. I don't know how to find out what these alerts are.
I have noticed problems in syncing special recurring events....I.e I am able to set up a 'last Friday of each month" on my iMac, but it doesn't appear on my iPad or iPhone. And I note I can't set up a special recurring event on my iPad or iPhone. What can I do to solve this? Is this a known flaw in iCal?
Mary C

I have no idea if this will help as I sync via iTunes under OSX.6.8 - but there may be a clue somewhere here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4981514
I have to say that, even after doing all that, my problem seems to recur at random with no obvious trigger - and it is even more bizarre because, like you, not all calendars or events are affected. Sometimes, different events within the same calendar are duplicated whereas others aren't!
And just how the iPad seems to pick up events which no longer appear in iCal is beyond me - presumably somewhere in a plist or old cache file but, as I said, no-one has any idea what or where!
No-one has managed to explian why my problem occurs or, indeed, just what is happening, but at least I now know how I can correct it, albeit via tedious series of steps.
I hope that helps?

Synch from itunes on iMac to Ipad and iPhone

I've eventually decided to upgrade, my iPad (7.0.4) and iPhone (7.0.4).
I lost loads of data and iTunes backups corrput (so Apple says), so iPad had to rebuilt as if new.
So am woeking through everything to re-establish to as it was before.
I AM LOOSING THE WILL TO LIVE.
iTunes...I had NO music data at all on Pad or Phone.
On my iMac, in iTunes 11.1.4 created 2 playlists and synched them to my Pad and Phone, ONLY 2 playlists. NOTHING ELSE WAS CHECKED, I TRIPLE CHECKED.
Success - got 2 playlists on Pad and Phone.
BUT BUT BUT
Noticed loads of other tracks, 196 of them.
Could not work out where they'd come from, then realised "Ah they're in Purchased folder on iTunes".
BUT I DID NOT ASK FOR THESE 2 B SYNCHED. NO WAY.
So i removed everything in iTunes, in Pruchased folder.
I tried to synch again, choosing nothing, i.e. no songs, in the hope these would be removed.
NO.
So I have a Pad and Phone with 196 purchased songs and I cannot get rid of them.
GOING MAD!!!!! HELP PLEASE. I moved from Windows to avoid this rubbish.....

I had a similar problem (https://discussions.apple.com/message/24525903#24525903)
The solution in my case was to start iPhoto and let it update the library, even thu itunes was set up to sync with Aperture.

What is the best way to sync iCal, AdressBook, etc on several devices? (iMac, MacBook, iPad and iPhone)

I have several Apple devices (iMac, MacBook and iPhone) and I was wondering what is the best way to sync iCal, AdressBook, etc on these devices?
I have an iCloud acount as well, but how to sync without seeing enteries double (iCal)?
Many thanks!

iCloud should not cause duplicate entries in Calendars unless you are syncing using iTunes as well as Wi-Fi. No need for both.
iCloud backs up:
Purchased music, TV shows, apps, and books
Photos and video in the Camera Roll
Device Settings
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
Calendars
From here > Apple - iCloud - Store and back up your content in iCloud.

Can not open ebay on Imac, macbook, ipad or iphone?

Every time i try to go on any part of ebay from any apple device. Even the App for iphone. The site will not open :-( It opens fine with a windows laptop. Does anyone else have the same problem???

Hello:
Certainly not here. I suggest you clear the cache and delete any eBay cookies and then try to visit the site (don't use a previous bookmark).

My iMac (or iPad, or iPhone or Macbook) won't communicate/find my printer.

The problem started when I changed my router.
The printer (Epson XP-405) says that WiFi connection is working and printer physically works as test page is printing.
I'm not very tech savvy, so detailed answers appreciated.
I have the IP address of the printer, the subnet mask and default gateway addresses (whatever these may mean - these are from the auto set up on the printer). I have removed the printer software and printer from the printer list and re-installed to no avail. I do not have a usb connector (this may be my next option). I have tried setting the printer up in System Preferences using the IP address and all 3 protocols to no avail. When I try to add the error message says 'Unable to connect to 'IP Address' due to an error. Would you still like to create the printer?'
I have ignored the error and created, but it doesn't work.
I have tried using ping command in terminal. These are the results .... I think it's telling me it's not reaching the printer - not sure why IP in brackets is slightly different number:
PING XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (XXX.XXX.X.Y): 56 data bytesRequest timeout for icmp_seq 0
Request timeout for icmp_seq 1
Request timeout for icmp_seq 2
Request timeout for icmp_seq 3
ping: sendto: No route to host
Request timeout for icmp_seq 4
ping: sendto: Host is down
Any help and advice would be much appreciated. I'm willing to give things a go but, as I say not very tech savvy

Changing the router changes everything about a network. The easiest solution will be to delete your existing printer from System Preferences > Print & Scan, and add it again. Better yet is to "reset the printing system" as described here: Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
After you do that you will need to add the printer again according to the instructions here:
OS X Mountain Lion: Set up a printer
or, if applicable:
OS X Mountain Lion: Set up an IP printer
You will need to do that with each of your Macs.
Powering down your iOS devices and powering them up again should be sufficient for them to recognize the AirPrint printer, after cycling your router's power also. For AirPrint troubleshooting read "If you're unable to print" in this Apple Support document: About AirPrint - Apple Support

My iPad and iPhone will not pair with my iMac.

TS3276 An email sent from my iMac has a button linked to a clip hosted on Vimeo. When received, the link functions on iMac and iPad, but opens a window of app icons on iPhone and iPod touch. Any ideas what's wrong?

An email sent from my iMac has a button linked to a clip hosted on Vimeo. When received, the link functions on iMac and iPad, but opens a window of app icons on iPhone and iPod touch. Any ideas what's wrong?

For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
Problem solved.
And George, as this is all entirely voluntary, whinging about no takers may not endear people to you. Besides which, a few minutes of searching on Google would have found you a number of solutions.

I can send emails on my ipad and iphone but not on my iMac. I can receive them okay.

I am using a @virgin.net email and cannot send emails from my iMac. I can recieve them and have no problem sending them on my ipad and iphone. Why?

It sounds to me like you need to go into Mail, then Preferences, and check your outgoing mail settings for this mail account. If you're not sure what they need to be, you can probably get most (if not all) of the information you need off of your iPad or iPhone.
I've seen it happen where the settings are correct and things still didn't work. In that case, usually reentering everything in the Mail settings resolves the issue.

While it isn't as easy to just use a Mac iDevice as media storage as Android and Windows, you can add documents and such like Word, PDF and others manually in iTunes to have them sync as well.
