IPad 4 w iBooks syncs Books via iCloud but not pdf's on my iMac iBooks
Why dont the Pdf's come over from iBooks on the iMac to the iPad4?
They won't go via iCloud, only ibooks that you buy/download from iTunes will potentially show (whilst they remain in the store) in the iBooks app on your iPad for redownloading - if you want the PDFs in the iBooks app on your iPad then you will need to connect the iPad to your Mac and select it in iTunes, and use its Books tab to select and sync them to it.

IPhone dead, pictures showing up via iCloud but not most recent?
Here's the deal- I made the great mistake of accidentally taking my phone for a spin in the washer last night and it might or might not resurrect in the next few days (it was dry when I pulled it out, so I'm still holding on to some hope). I have an iPad and as a last ditch effort to save my phone photos, I turned on photo stream. It worked great and several dozen pictures from up til early last week showed up. However, there are a good many pictures I took in the last week that aren't appearing, so I'm curious as to how these recent-but-not-most-recent pictures appeared but not the latest ones. I hadn't turned on photo stream on my iPad at any point before last night (post-phone death), so I'm unsure what's going on or if there's anything else I can do to connect the latest photos to another device. Not sure how these things work, but I'm assuming it uses wi-fi... do you think the fact that photo stream connected to my phone at all means there's some hope for my phone's second life? Or was it possibly just the ghost of my phone giving its last ounce of energy to the cloud before dying? Any input would be nice, as I've scoured the Internet for answers.
Thanks, friends!Are you talking about syncing notes and photo stream photos? If so, first make sure your notes are in iCloud by going to icloud.com on your computer. If they are, make sure both devices are signed into the same iCloud account and try going to Settings>iCloud, turning Notes to Off, then after a minute or so, turn it back On.
Photo stream photos are only uploaded after enabling photo stream. If the photos were already on your device when you enabled photo stream, then would not have been uploaded. Try taking a new photo, then see if it appears in your my photo stream album. -
just wondering why you can browse, buy on itunes but not read on an imac. My kindle apps work on the imac, ipod, asus netbook, iphone and android devices. Why not ibooks on imac?
"just wondering why you can browse, buy on itunes but not read on an imac. "
Because Apple does not make an ibook reader for computers. -
SO, I download some albums from the Music Store, and plug my iPhone into the iMac, and quite oftern I get the tracks duplicated on the iPhone. As you can imagine, this is not ideal when I try and listen to the album, as I get Track 1 followed by Track 1, then Track 2 followed by Track 2, etc, etc.
I would really like to have just a siongle instance of the songs on my phone.
Any ideas ?To my knowledge, there is no way of doing what you want. The only workaround is to create playlists for the other albums containing the track, but that isn't practical for most people.
You could provide Apple with feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html -
I have both my iPhone and iPad backing up via iCloud but the data is not being shared between the devices. When I backup it appears to be working as there are no error messages but the data is not shared between each. Any help would be great as this is very frustrating.
Backing up to icloud is not the same as syncing data between devices. Go to
Settings>Store. Turn on the automatic downloads that you want on that screen.
Settings>iCloud. Turn on the features you want to sync between devices. -
Sync iPad mini to Mac book without iCloud
I am trying to sync my new iPad mini to my Mac l. iTunes claims they are being synced over the air via iCloud, but 10.6.8 won't allow for iCloud I can't seem to see how to do it manually. Any advice appreciated.
Hi Stamped Earth,
If you are looking to set up local syncing (via USB or WiFi) from your iPad Mini to your Mac, you may want to take a look at these articles:

Address Book doesn't sync UP to iCloud, but syncs back down..
(Sorry, Winston, and maybe Roger, I must be developing Alzheimer's ..I just cannot understand how this iCloud system works..)
I've searched through hundreds of queries and answers, but cannot find a similar problem ..but maybe I simply haven't looked hard enough.
Question on behalf of my good lady ..and I've been tearing my hair out over this for WEEKS..
She has 3502 contacts in her Address Book on her OS X Lion 10.7.4 MacBook Air. She has two iPhones. They're both running iOS 5.1.1. She has enabled iCloud on ALL these three devices, using her @me.com identity and appropriate password.
She updates Address Book contacts ONLY on her MBA - for sync'ing to her phones - and she does NOT update any Contacts info on her phones in order to have them transferred BACK to her Mac. That's how she prefers to work.
The only way that her Address Book contacts will sync UP to iCloud from the Mac appears to be to select 'All on My Mac' within Address Book, and to Export as vcards to a file on her Mac, and then, in the online iCloud Contacts webpage, to Import that file of vcards. All well and good, but that seems to ignore all her various Groups; everything ends up bundled all into one group. (Perhaps each Group in her Mac's Address Book needs to be separately Exported and then Imported, but surely it shouldn't be as long-winded as that.)
(About 402 of these contacts are not accepted by the online iCloud Contacts, although they seem to fall within the requirements of not being too many, not being too large, etc. But that's a separate problem which I'm still investigating ..maybe the names are formatted incorrectly; I'll keep working on that separately..)
Anyhow: by explicitly Importing all those Address Book contacts into the iCloud Contacts, they then immediately start to get distributed - correctly! - to her iPhones ..but also back into the Address Book on her Mac, thereby DUPLICATING them all in Address Book! (They CAN be seen as SINGLE entries by choosing 'All iCloud'.)
I cannot understand the opaque instructions in all of the iCloud documentation. NONE of the documentation which I've studiously read (online, in System Prefs, in every Help file I can find) seems to indicate a DIRECTION for this iCloud sync'ing.
WHERE - if there is such a place - does one specify that contacts should go only UP FROM the Mac, and not BACK DOWN to the Mac?
There seem to be options only to turn ON sync'ing (or off), but not the DIRECTION of sync'ing, or which device(s) take precedence. (..In iTunes - when sync'ing phones to a Mac with a cable - there's a preference to over-write EITHER the host Mac with data FROM a phone, or to over-write an iPhone's data with data FROM the Mac..)
So I'm asking..
(a) Can one specify a DIRECTION when turning on sync'ing for a device?
(b) With iCloud sync'ing turned ON on a Mac, is there any known reason why Address Book contacts should not send themselves UP to the iCould, instead of having to be manually Imported?
(c) Does one Export Groups individually? ..But what if a name is in more than one Group ..does it get duplicated online in iCloud?
(d) Is there not the intelligence within the iCloud facility for the system to NOT distribute back, or duplicate, contacts to the device which is the SOURCE of those contacts? Should it not do a comparison between iCloud and a device, and then recognise that those contacts already exist on the remote device, and therefore NOT distribute them BACK again to the SOURCE? (..Or am I having too high expectations?..)
Many thanks in anticipation, and I'm so sorry to be such a nuisance if this has already been answered a zillion times before.
(Yes, Winston; she has almost as many iPhones as you have AppleTVs!)
All best wishes,
David.David, nice to hear from you again, hope you are well.
This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Address Book.
I believe you have duplicates because you have two sets of contacts. "iCloud" and "On My Mac". Once you have created all your contacts in the iCloud account, you should delete them from On My Mac.
You can move contacts simply by dragging and dropping from one account to the other, you don't need to export them all to the desktop (although doind so will serve as a good back up if all goes wrong). You should note that this copies them though rather than simply move them, so you'll need to delete the old set when you are done.
As for preserving groups from the On My Mac Account, you can't but you can simplify recreating them by copying contacts (drag and drop) from an on my mac group to an empty group in iCloud.
Not sure about the contacts that you are struggling to move.
Many aspects of iCloud are difficult to understand, have a mull through what I've said so far and come back if everything still doesn't fall into place. -
I have just downloaded ML. I can get my email via iCloud, but I can't get it on MAIL 6.0. I have done the JAVA thing--seems to be OK. MAIL 6.0 on my desktop won't sync with Mobile Me and won't download emails. Any suggestions?
Just did something--am not sure what, probably in the "iCloud"--but seems to be working at last!

Im trying to find my iPhone via iCloud but i does not show a map with its last know location. It only shows the menu options. My iPad and Mac show up but the map of my iPhone does not. Can anyone help?
If your phone is turned off or not connected to the Internet, you will be unable to locate it. Last known location is only stored for 24 hours.

I am trying to send an email. The contact is not in my list of Yahoo contacts. It is in iCloud, but not in Yahoo. My iCloud Contacts had way more contacts, so I turned off contacts on my IPad and deleted them. I turned it back on and they were supposed to Sync.
Please Help Me....No. Change the passwords for all acounts used on the iPod.
