If you upgrade to Windows Vista or Windows 7 you can setup iCloud > Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices
That way you can sync, backup, and restore from all devices.

Help with syncing my iCloud calendars

I have never had a problem with syncing my calendars on iCloud with my laptop, desktop, iPhone and iPad. Recently I have had trouble with things I was putting on my iPhone were not syncing to my iPad. I read through a lot of the tips on here and have tried almost everything. I have removed the calendars and then set up my iCloud account again. I have refreshed numerous times. Nothing seems to work.
Last night I took all of the iCloud accounts off all devices. I mades sure that when I accessed iCloud via the internet that all my calendars were correct. They were.
This morning I added the iCloud acccount back to my iPhone and my iPad. All off the calendars from iCloud synced to these devices minus my personal calendar that is on iCloud. It is just one of the names that I have given my color coded calendar. Nothing is different with this calendar than with the other five color coded calendars that I have.
Does anyone have an idea why this one will not sync? Or suggestions on what I might do or try.
Thank you!

Needing help with syncing without erasing PLEASE!!

My computer had to be reset to factory settings. I re-downloaded itunes and attempted to sync my ipad but it says it will erase my ipad & replace with whats in the itunes since it is synced with another library. This is the same computer that it was synced with originally but as i said i had to reset it. I have transfered all my purchases but I have a lot of music and some movies that i didnt purchase that i would like to keep. I checked the manually manage music box but it still says the same thing. Can anyone help please???!!!!

You should be able to:
Disable automatic syncing of devices (Edit > Preferences > Devices)
Backup the device to the new installation (Right-click device > Back Up)
Transfer your purchases into your authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in the apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

Help with Sync Calendar with Outlook all appointments do not sync..

I am not a super tech but I do have some pretty good skills for a girl, if i do say so myself.... however I am So frustrated.. I need help.
This is my very first public post.. So I hope I give all the info that will help, but if I missed something, please let me know.
Here is some background info:
I have a BB Bold
I do NOT use it on an enterprise (network)
I sync my bb with my dell
Windows Vista (UGH!!!)
Microsoft outlook - Version 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 Build 6001
My calendar and my contacts are the most important reason I have a bb
My contacts are FINE
My calendar is a MESS
I have 2 separate email addresses working though my bb.. For the purposes of his post I will refer to them as
[email protected] and
[email protected]
When I make appointments in my work calendar, I do one of the 2 things to get all my appointments on the BB
Schedule my gmail address as an attendee to the appointment or
Forward the appointment to my gmail address from my work email
When I make appointments directly from my BB I do it by selecting Menu>New = my gmail account defaults as the "send using"
BB Info:
When I am in the calendar and I select >Menu.Options> Calendars> I have 3 options
[email protected] which has (518 entries)
Device Default which has (157 entries)
[email protected] which has (429 entries)
When I go to Menu>Options>Advanced Options>Default Services>(CICAL) is [email protected] it shows that I have the options to select my Gmail OR my .mac address
Here is the problem - this did not used to happen, and I quite honestly didnt realize that my backup was messed up so i have NO idea how long this is going on.
When I sync with Outlook
There are only 518 appointments that are synced
I cannot get the other 157 (device default) + 429 (mac) to sync with my outlook
Can anyone help me get them all on my gmail calendar? or into my outlook so that I can then sync back with the BB
I do not sync my bb with my mac
Here is what I have tired:
Screaming at the computer
Screaming in spanish at the blackberry
ignoring them both
I have restrained myself from throwing both of them against the wall.
but seriously
I have set the BB desktop manager to do a one way sync > bb to outlook = NOTHING Only the gmail syncs
I have changed the (CICAL) to my mac address and performed a sync = NOTHING - only the gmail syncs
I am at a loss and would appreciate any help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
We shall then forget about the MAC records.
Outlook contains the 158 records from the Gmail associated calendar.
The default calendar records need to be cleared and restored to the Gmail associated Calendar.
The resulting Blackberry gmail associated calendar will then be synchronized with Outlook to add the former default records
resulting in synchronized calendars on both Outlook and the Blackberry.
Read this over, I suggest more than once. Method three is what we are going to do.
Let me know tomorrow what questions you have with the procedure so we can make sure we are successful.
KB16063 Unexpected results occur when synchronizing with a BlackBerry smartphone that has multiple CICAL service records.
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks,

I NEED HELP WITH SYNC PROBLEM!

I have already posted about this once and got no help! I can not afford Apple's greedy fee for helping us with a product we paid a lot for
My iPad will not sync with iTunes anymore!
The error I get is: The iPad "Jonnathon's iPad" cannot be synced. An error occurred while reading from the device.
Sometimes the error is different saying it cant find a required disk.
It always occurs just after downloading apps that had been purchased or updated since the last sync.
I have made sure my iTunes is up to date and the iPad does have the latest version of it's OS.
I did do a "Run Diagnostics" and did both "Device connectivity tests" and "Device sync tests" and no problems were found. But I still get the errors!

This is wiered.You better call the Apple and say your problem.Maybe they could help you.Or maybe your iPad has a virus.If you think it has a virus , you have to restore it.

Help with syncing and turning on iCloud

I'm having issues with syncing, once the process has finished an error -34 comes up and says it was interrupted and would I like to restore backup. Yet the iPad tells me back up restore was completed. What is wrong? Next is iCloud. I have the original iPad and I'm being prompted to turn on iCloud. How do I do this when the icon on my iPad isn't allowing me to even click on it.

I don't know about your Syncing, but here's a link on how to set up iCloud:

Pse help with syncing and nonpurchased music from itunes to iphone using icloud

Pse excuse myself for being such a noob. I am trying to sync music from which i have ripped from cd's to itunes using icloud. When i go into the purchased section there is no music to sync obviously as i havent purchased any music only ripped cd's. I beleive that this is where the music has to go to in terms of syncing to iphone. Is this correct or am i way off pse help guys.

it says that I gotta reset my iPhone to Factory Settings. Which means I will lose all my apps, contacts and stuff.
Why would you lose anything? Your contacts will be in whatever desktop program you have chosen to sync your contacts with, your Apps should be in your iTunes Library, and everything else should be on your computer too (assuming you've been syncing/backing up as designed).
Are you trying to sync music from a different computer than you normally use?

Help with syncing an iPhone 3GS running iOS5 to a new MBA running Lion

Just got a new MacBook Air running Lion (10.7.2) and I thought I'd sync my iPhone 3GS (Running iOS5.0.1) to it.
I have an iMac running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and my 3GS is currently synced with that. (Both running iTunes 10.5.2)
Whenever I plug my iPhone in a hit sync, it doesn't do anything. If I tick Sync Music/Apps etc. it says that all music/apps will be erased on my iPhone and replaced with the ones on the MBA. There aren't even any on the MBA. And when I tick the "Sync Apps" the iPhone homepage layout changes/deletes some Apps which worries me so I haven't actually tried syncing after clicking it (I've spent hours getting my homepage set up correctly after restoring...I really don't want that on Christmas...).
So what shall I do? Try syncing anyway? I bet this wouldn't happen if it was running Snow Leopard! I'm pretty sure it should ask to copy all the songs and stuff across and then beg for authorization, which I did before even trying to sync.
Also, is there a way to deauthorize computers remotely? I have 4 out of 5 authorized, I only want my iMac and MBA.

WTMF?
When I got my iMac, I synced to it with no problem (This was October 2010). Did they stupidly change this now? So, firstly I can't merge my iTunes account with my old MobileMe account, now this? This is getting ridiculous. What next? YouTube decide to completely rearrange the channel layout so you can hardly make it look how you want?
This new concept of Apple is terrible and doesn't make sense. I thought everything's supposed to be in sync? Mac OS was so much better when I was using a PC. Now I think I'd rather go back to PC.
Edit: Actually, I'll go to Linux...

IPad problem with syncing after reinstall

i have reinstalled windows 7 recently and when i plugged my ipad to be synced with some new apps i found that itunes demand the data that is not currently in the itunes library because i reinstalled the whole disk containing this information(i don't know why it just don't merges it). Anyway, i have accepted this and selected the new apps to be installed, and that's where the problem begins. On step 2 of 3 (determining apps to sync) it doesn't sync at all the selected apps and then finishes syncing without the apps appearing on the ipad.
It still has the apply button to sync them but it doesn't do anything at all. Any suggestions regarding this situation because i don't really understand what wrong with it ...

I realized where was the problem

I'm unsure about the first question. Do you even have a 7. system and receiver? If you just have 5., you should be able to remap the audio in the THX console.
I do have a sony 7. reciever str de-995 its an older one but its only for my cpu. At first i didnt even have THX installed because it didnt come with the driver package for some reason until i downloaded the daniel_k support drivers and installed it. But it doesnt help in anyway.
I have checked every where regarding the first question and alot of people are having problems getting sound out of there rear channels and the sound being re-mapped to the surround right and the surround left as if there rear left and rear right.
I read somewhere that the daniel_k support drivers would fix this but it didnt for me and many others.
For the second question i assumed it would be becasue of the spidf pass through and that my onboard sound card was inferior to the xfi titaniums. But i wasnt sure and i was hopeing that someone would have a solution for that problem because i miss controlling the volume with my keyboard.

Help With Adding Back Up of Songs & Lists on Re-Installed iTunes v 7.0.2

I have a portable hard drive with a back up of my 10,000 songs. I have to get my Gateway PC laptop serviced as it continues to crash, and so I will need to re-install iTunes v 7.0.2 and then add back my songs from the portable hard drive.
I need help with a couple of questions:
1) Is there a quicker way to add the songs back on to iTunes rather than adding individual files (for songs) and individual folders (for albums)?
2) I have several song lists (some used to make CD's). How can these lists be backed up as well so that I do not have to re-create these lists?
Any advice very much appreciated.

There is a good article on backup here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1522195&#1522195
If all your music is in the iTunes Music folder and you have room, just copy the iTunes folder to your external drive.
This will include both your music files and the iTunes library files.
If you music is stored in other places, you need to backup those too. When you restore you need to ensure the full path name is the same.
Life is also much easier if you can keep exactly the same account name if you reinsall windows as the account name is part of the path to My Documents.

Help with reloading back up data

I had to restore my bb pearl 8120 the other day. Backed up all data and then had a few problems with it. I have now managed to sort it all but cant reload all my backed up data, I have lost a lot of phone number that I really need.
Any help with this would be fab.
Thanks

Hello,
Please provide more details, such as:
Specific BB Model (8120)
Specific BB OS level (all 4 octets)
Specific Desktop Software level (also 4 octets)
Carrier
Country
The specific symptoms you witnesses -- "cant reload all my backed up data" doesn't tell us much. Specific details of exactly the steps you attempt and exactly the results you see would be helpful.
Thanks!

Help with syncing photos please

Ok, so iam having problems with syncing a folder from my computer to my iphone. Once done syncing the photos it makes 2 albums on my iphone, one with the name of my folder and one with the name "Photo Library" they both have the same photos on them, how do I get the unwanted one off?

This is normal and cannot be changed.
All photos transferred to the iPhone are stored and will be available in the iPhone's Photo Library.
If you transfer 3 folder names or albums that contain photos say 10 photos each, it will be as follows:
Photo Library (30)
Photo Album 1 (10)
Photo Album 2 (10)
Photo Album 3 (10)
With the Photo Album names to be whatever you name the folders which contain the photos transferred to your iPhone.
This way you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting the iPhone's Photo Library or view the photos available in a particular folder or album only by selecting the album.
Photos in the folders or albums are not duplicated. They include a pointer to the original photo contained in the iPhone's Photo Library.
