IPad and osx comparability

Love my iPad
Loosing my love for apple.
Before purchasing iTunes updated so it was compatible with iPad
What happened - come to synch and needs osx5
I am running 4
Apple now only selling snow leopard. Choice only appears to be second hand copy on eBay.
Why doesn't apple sell (or even give away) old software like osx 5?
Why is not compatible with 4?
Come on apple - loyal advocates like myself are being badly treated I feel!

You are just talking to other users like yourself here, not Apple, and none of us know the answers to your questions. Apple did publish iPad system requirements Jan. 27, 2 months before release, so customers could consider that before purchasing.
Here is where to give Apple your views on all that:

LDAP iPhone 3.1.3, iPad and OSX Server 10.6

Hello
First of all, sorry for my English.
I have new a Mac Mini Server. With my MBP I can connect to the server, iCal and Addresses syncs fine between Server and MBP.
Now I try for a long time, iPhone and iPad to connect with the server. With both, iCal works fine. Unfortunately with both Devices I can't sync Addresses.
Have somebody a suggestion to me what is wrong in my settings?
Thanks a lot for helping.

Well,
Not exactly true. Right now - yes there is no sync between address book and OSX Server, however, since you have a 10.6.X server CardDAV is a function that is supported.
iOS 4.0 (which is due for the iPhone in a week or so) does have built in support for CardDAV accounts.
I can't comment on its ability to do so as I haven't had the time to play with it since I received my 4.0 GM on Tuesday morning, but there are a few people reporting success.
So, wait a week or so - you'll get your CardDAV address book to work with your iPhone.
NOW IF APPLE WILL ONLY GIVE US NATIVE PUSH SUPPORT FOR EMAIL FROM OSX TO THE IPHONE...
**** What a glaring oversight....
(Stepping off soapbox now...)

HT5887 Airdrop, iPad and OSX

Does anyone know why on earth have Apple made it so that airdrop cannot be used to move files between iOS and OSX devices? That's pretty much the only thing I want to do with it! Are they going to fix this glaring omission at some point?

You will have to check with Apple.

Microsoft Exchange ipad and OSX

Why is it that you can setup an exchange account on the iPad with the greatest of ease, but you cannot do it on OSX. even the new outlook is difficult. Anyway, I'm curious why it is easy on iPad/iTouch but next to impossible on OSX?
thanks

iOS can use ActiveSync to connect to an Exchange server, whereas Mac OS X Mail (reportedly due to licensing issues) cannot and so has to use IMAP to connect to Exchange 2003. Exchange 2007 servers support Exchange Web Services (EWS) which Mail can use for an easier, more complete and robust, connection.

Syncing notes between iPad and a MacBook with Lion OSX

I cannot sync notes manually between iPad and MacBook - I could do that with Snow Leopard by creating a subfolder in Notes and keeping my Notes in that subfolder. This doesn't work with Lion OSx - any ideas out there

I would prefer MobileMe but have not been able to use that to sync notes. So - I use itunes and check "Sync notes" under Other in the Info tab

More details on your upgrade would help. For example, did you upgrade to Mavericks from Snow Leopard or did you simply upgrade from 10.9.0 to 10.9.1.

How to get pages docs created on a macpro to show up on iPad and iPhone both with ios5

Yesterday (October 19, 2011) I updated to the latest OS's and pages app on my macpro and ipad2 and iphone3gs. When I create a pages doc on the macpro and save it I do not see it appear on the ipad2 and iphone3gs at all including within the pages docs window. Yet my iCalendar updates beautifully across all three devices. My question is what are the steps to get a pages doc created on a macpro to "automatically" become available and thereon update automatically in pages on my ipad and iphone?

on Mac OS X there is no icloud enabled apps at this time. iWork09 for Mac wont sync your data to iCloud.
To get documents to the cloud and thus to your IOS5 devices you need to visit www.icloud.com/iwork and manually upload your files ( or use drag and drop from Mac Desktop to the browser ).
This is no joke. Spreaded all over this support forums you find people that wondered how to do it until it was found out that iwork syncing is only enabled on iOS but not on OSX.

18000 and 200gb of iCloud storage how do i up load to iCloud and view them across my iPhone iPad and apple tv?

I have 18000 photos and i have to signed up to 200gb of iCloud storage how do i up load to iCloud and see them across my iPhone iPad and apple tv?
I have dragged my entire library over to the iCloud icon on the left side menu bar on my iMac iPhotos.
i have also signed into iCloud.com but can only see recent few photos taken today on my iPhone and when i have gone to import i can not import for my iPhotos app?
How do i get these to the cloud to view across my devices?
What settings do i need to use on my iPhone and iPad?
Or is iCloud not the best way to store and view my library?
Thanks Spud

You are a bit early.
Wait for a few month. iCloud Photo Library (Beta) and the Photos.app for Mac are being beta tested now and will be available soon on your Mac. Then you can store your photo library in iCloud and keep optimised versions of your photos on your Mac locally, with the full sized versions in iCloud. And all your devices will be able to access the photos in iCloud.
See Apple's preview of the new Photos for Mac: http://www.apple.com/osx/photos-preview/
Fill your library, not your device.
iCloud Photo Library can help you make the most of the space on your devices. When you choose "Optimize Mac Storage", it stores all your full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud in their original formats, while keeping storage-saving versions on each device. When you make an edit, the original image will download automatically. You get 5GB of free storage in iCloud — and as your library grows, you have the option to choose a plan for up to 1TB.
and also: Photos for the Mac Is Clean, Fast, Connected — and Unfinished
The iPads and iPhones can already do it, but the Mac can only access this library using the web interface, see: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ
Use the time, till Photos will be released, to consolidate your photo library. Get all places and faces tagged, all keywords, titles, and ratings ready, duplicates removed, events and albums well structured, and when Photos will be released, you can simply let it migrate the iPhoto or Aperture library to iCloud Photo Library. Enable "Optimize Storage" and you will be able to have the bulk of your photos in iCloud.

Numbers syncing on iPad and iPhone

I have numbers on both my iPad and iPhone. Both are set up for iCloud. It is my understanding that they should automatically sync my spreedsheets. Is that wrong? Is there a step I'm missing?

I read through the support pages and everything is set up correctly. I'm sitting with both devices open in settings and comparing everything down the line. They are the same. Both have the latest iOS as well. Iphone 4s and Ipad 2, so not a hardware issue.
Wierd, right?

I have a mac book pro, an ipad and an iphone. i have an icloud account that allows my iPad and imac to sync. but my mac book only has a connection to 'mobile me'. how can i include my macbook with my other devices? help! thanks

You need OSX 10.7.2 or higher in order to access icloud. The mobile me account is now defunct (it closed down more than a year ago).

How can I get iCloud to sync between iOS 6.1.3, OSX 10.6.8 and OSX 10.8.3?

I am running both OSX 10.6.8 and OSX 10.8.3 on my iMac with iOS 6.1.3 on my iPod Touch.
Everything is checked ON in the iCloud settings where those are available, in iOS, OSX 10.8 and in iCloud.com on my OSX 10.6.8 system.
I either get no synchronisation, or a duplication of events. Apple Store Events which need to be clumsily downloaded from the website, double clicked on and hopefully added to Calendar, only randomly appear and rarely get announced. I can't see a pattern to anything.
It currently won't sync between iCloud.com and Address Book, Calendar etc on the Mac let alone with iDevices (my wife has an iPad as well), despite partially syncing previously.
It is erratic, obscure and totally unreliable as well as being a huge waste of my time.
If I follow the iTunes instructions as well as the iCloud.com instructions generally nothing happens.
In the Advanced pane of iCloud.com settings, I have selected the “In-app notifications” checkbox, and Saved. Doesn't work. Then I unselected and saved and closed iCloud.com. Then checked it all over again, still doesn't work.
According to the settings it says it is sharing with the iPod Touch, but nothing happens.
Previously a few events appeared belatedly at some later time, often after the event they were supposed to announce. Currently nothing is syncing.
Most frustratingly I can't sync my Address Book/Contacts so have to manually include all the contact info in all my individual devices and systems.
Has anybody got a surefire method of making the sync happen?

That's correct but your 10.6.8 machine has no way to put it there unless you manually enter it on the website.
That to sync data from iCal and Address Book in Snow Leopard to the iCloud server you must manually register and connect to the iCloud.com website which I have done.
You can't sync from Address Book or iCal in Snow Leopard.

The syncing to the same data in Mountain Lion is done via the System Preferences > iCloud, which I have done.
Supposedly that means the data on the iCloud server is then shared between the iPod Touch, SL and ML, but it is not.
Because data entered on the SL machine never makes it from iCal or AB to iCloud or from iCloud to AB or iCal, the link breaks there.. You can use a 3rd party app (Soho) and use it instead of AB and iCal.
But the problem exists on ML as well.
I get only some Contacts and iCal events transferring.
What you are seeing is probably from SL account which I use 95% of the time. Particularly my Address Book entries. I hardly entered any of those in ML, they virtually all come from SL and seem to have transferred previously. Possibly before the latest iOS updates, but I can't swear to that as I didn't check before/after.
The vast majority of my Address Book entries appear in both iCloud.com and my iPod Touch, but not my latest changes.
This is far from the "It just happens!" promised by Apple.

Handoff: No connection between iPad and iPhone

Handoff: No connection between iPad and iPhone (IOS 8).

Hi raydela,
I understand your calls aren't being transferred between devices.
Check out the troubleshooting in this article.

If a call doesn't transfer to your other devices, or you don't see the Handoff icons
Make sure that your devices are using iOS 8 or later by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
Check your settings:
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn on Wi-Fi if necessary.
Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn on Bluetooth if necessary.
Make sure your iOS devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network by going to Settings > Wi-Fi and comparing the name of the network each is on.

No, those are different apps... The one for your Mac is the computer version, and looks different. Both are developed for their separate OS's: iOS and OSX.

IPad (and iPhone 4) upload speed on wi-fi very slow - any thoughts?

Both my "i devices" - an iPad and iPhone 4 are very slow for upload speeds on wi-fi. For example, here are the results of using speedtest.net on my iMac 21.5", iPhone 4 and iPad just now:
iMac: download 38.39 Mbps, upload 19.22 Mbps (so the wi-fi network itself has good upload speeds)
iPhone 4: download 21.17 Mbps, upload 0.39 Mbps (why so slow?!)
iPad: download 23.66 Mbps, upload 0.71 Mbps (why so slow?!)
The wireless router is an Airport Extreme updated to the latest firmware.
I've seen screenshots of other people's iPad and iPhone speedtest.net tests where the upload speed over wi-fi doesn't suffer compare to download like mine does, by a factor of 54!
I've seen postings here and there by people with similar problems. Are there any solutions? Are my iPad and iPhone 4 bad? Are they incompatible with my Airport Extreme? Are there "settings" somewhere that can help with the problem?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi, Carolyn.
Perhaps so. Maybe there are certain kinds of connections which are better suited for iPads and iPhones than others. But the download speed on neither device seem to have problems. It's just the upload speed.
I did try several channels yesterday - 6 through 13 - but it didn't seem to make a difference.
Why would trashing my Mac preference files and restarting my Mac help anything? My Mac isn't having any problems.
Oh, by the by, on my iPhone at least I already tried resetting Network preferences. I even did a Reset > Erase All Content and Settings and re-installed my iPhone 4 from scratch. While still in a "vanilla state" before restoring from my backup, I tried testmyiphone.com via Safari and got similar results - very poor upload.
The 3G connection also fluctuates between "so so" (1-2 Mbps down, 0.8 Mbps up) and really horrible (0.2 Mbps down and 0.05 Mbps up).
I did just try your suggested "reset networks" on my iPad. This time I got a download of 13.26 Mbps and upload of 2.2 Mbps on the first test. On the 2nd test I got about the same download, but an upload speed of just 0.63 Mbps.
So something's still wrong.
