IPad syncing issue between old and new computer.

I 'm trying to sync my iPad to a new computer, but it says my iPad is already synced to another library.  My previous computer and data is no longer accessible.  I do NOT want to lose what I have on my iPad, its a real pain and its happened before: the message says I would have to ERASE! everything to sync it.  This really makes me hate iTunes.  Thoughts?  Help?

iPhones are not really designed to be synced, or even manually managed, with multiple computers. You should sync with a single library. Depending what you've done so far you may in fact have the same library on both computers, but if not see this tip on migrating your library.
Even when you have exactly the same iTunes library on two computers iTunes "knows" to sync the pictures from just one of them, though in my experience they have stayed on the device when syncing with the other machine. If you copy the pictures over to the new computer, then select the folder to sync photos from on the new computer they should all get added in.

  • Ical sync issue between Iphone and Ipad

    I seem to be having issues syncing events between my Iphone to my Ipad.  icloud is enabled on both and it appears that all the calendars are enabled for syncing.  Any help with this would be appreciated.

    I'm having this issue as well.  I have tried the add new account as was mentioned in other posts (going through the Advanced settings and changing the server location), but it appears that I would be duplicating accounts, and "that is not supported".  I also am having issues with alerts not going to me, but to my husband (who has a google.com email).  When I check the Address Book to see what the main contact card is, it shows my information, yet I am not receiving alerts and my email is not an option to select.  When I changed my Apple Id, he received the confirmation email (as did I).  What do I need to do to: 1) get alerts to come to me and not my husband and 2) sync my iCal with macbook, iPhone, and iPad?  Thanks!

  • After successfully importing my bookmarks through Firefox Sync from my old to new computer, can I purge the old computer and still have the bookmarks on the new

    I want to upgrade my computer and did a Windows Easy Transfer to my new one. My Firefox bookmarks did not show up on my new computer so I used Firefox Sync-which worked fine. Now that I have the bookmarks on the new computer, can I erase the old computer and still have the bookmarks on the new one.

    First, disconnect your old computer from Firefox Sync so you don't accidentally delete the data from sync, but then yes you should be good to go.

  • Curious... Syncing Issues Between iPhone and iTunes?

    Just curious... the past several months I have noted various concerns around "syncing" between iPhone and iTunes... yet don't recall any mention of whether it occurs between MAC OS or WIN hardware (desktops and or laptops). Furthermore, I am interested if anyone can comment whether these sync issues occurs mostly on TIGER or LEOPARD OS when accessing iTUNES. (Guess I should pay more attention to the noted OS field.
    I ask because I am considering an upgrade to LEOPARD by end of month and don't want to jeopardize my syncing to my iPhone if it is a LEOPARD related issue. Thank you

    I'm running Leopard and I've never experienced any sync issues.
    These discussions include mostly problems, which is what these discussions are for - a user to user support forum for technical support issues and questions.
    Which particular issue are you referring to?
    Before installing a major OS X upgrade such as Leopard over a previous OS X version, it is a good idea to create or update your existing backup of important data stored on your computer's hard drive - including your iTunes library, photos, contact info, calendar events, documents, etc. I've never experienced any problems installing a major OS X upgrade over a previous OS X version, but I always update my computer's backup immediately beforehand to be on the safe side.

  • Sync issues between Mac and Mobile Me

    Hi all,
    I'm having issues syncing between MobileMe and my Macbook Pro. It used to work perfectly, but I haven't been able to get it to sync since early August. All the changes I make between my iPhone and MobileMe work fine, but they just wont update with any changes I make on my Macbook. Equally, changes made on iPhone or MobileMe don't show on my laptop anymore.
    I've tried force syncs and resetting sync data (and transferring info from MobileMe) but none work. Is there anything else I can try?
    Thanks,

    You should ask in the MobileMe forums as this forum (iSync) has nothing to do with syncing Macs to MobileMe.

  • ICloud Sync issues between iPhone and MacBook

    I have a peculiar problem. I have iCloud turned on for Contacts, Calendar and Notes between my iPhone 6P and my MacBookPro running OS X 10.10.2. If I make  a change or add an entry on the MBP, it does not show up on the iPhone until I make a change to something on the iPhone, then the iPhone changes go to the MBP, and the MBP changes then, and only then, appear on the iPhone.
    I have the same iCloud account on both devices. Very confused. (I have not done anything regarding Family Sharing, and I do have the iCloud drive turned on.)
    Any clues?

  • Major sync issues between iphone and itunes + outlook

    I have an iphone 5, mistakenly pushed the button to update to ios7, got a new window pc with win8 and office13, and mistakenly again got updated itunes 11.1.3...after many years of pretty seamless itunes/outlook calendar/contacts/podcasts/ etc etc syncing experiences, now itunes doesn't sync playlists with my phone, constantly wipes out my podcasts even though i chose "no sync with podcast", doesn't sync into outlook calendar/contacts/etc at all. i tried to roll back to itunes 10.7 (used the tips from this forum), but it says my phone won't work with versions older than itunes 11. it's like nobody's able to talk to anyone any more. what's going on????

    My ICAL and Outlook 2011 are not syncing. ICAL seems stuck. Have been the entire gamut with Microsoft and it seems ICAL is the issue.

  • WDS between old and new AEBS

    First I want to apologize for this lenghty post. I want to provide as much useful info as possible. We just bought the new AEBS Dual Band and tried to add it to our existing WDS network and ran into a few serious snags. I really hope we can find help here. I've already spent many hours pouring through this forum and other sites and can't find any answer. Here's what our existing network look like:
    Gigabit AEBS N as WDS Main > 2 "G" AXs as WDS Remotes
    Wireless clients include: Tivo (G), MacBook (N), 2 iPhones (G), iBook G3 (B).
    Wired clients include: Tivo HD, PowerMac G5, Mac mini, laser printer
    What we were trying to accomplish is to make the new Dual Band AEBS as the new WDS Main and create 2 (connected) WiFi networks via WDS:
    N network (5GHz) > Dual Band AEBS as WDS Main > Gigabit AEBS N as WDS Remote
    G Network (2.4GHz) > 2 "G" AX as WDS Remotes
    We want to do this so the Gigabit AEBS N can live in our living room and allow the Tivo to have decent speed when we download the shows to the Macs or to transfer between the Tivos. Since the Dual Band is advertised as being able to broadcast on both frequencies simultaneously, we're assuming it can do this. However, I can't find any info online or otherwise that either confirms or disputes this function.
    When I tried to set it up as such, the 2 AXs work as expected. But the Gigabit AEBS N becomes non-responsive. I even tried to hard reset it and re-attach it to the network using 2.4GHz to no avail. At this point, the Gigabit AEBS N either gives the -5 error or, after hard reset, fail to acknowledge the WAN port when I tried to do a "basic" setup to test it.
    My first question is: Does the Dual Band AEBS support my desired configuration at all? That is, create separate WDS networks on the 2 frequencies (5GHz vs 2.4). No one I've spoken to at Apple has a clear answer. So I wonder if anyone who reads these forums has tried this.
    My second question is: does the 7.4.1 firmware hose the WAN port of the Gigabit AEBS N? I've downgraded it back to 7.3.2 and the WAN port is still not recognized. The AEBS was working 100% before the swap (and the firmware update that followed).
    My last question is: Has anyone experienced "stuttering" on the Dual Band AEBS? I haven't noticed it until I tried to playback some QuickTime files off the Airport Disk attached to the Dual Band. On the Gigabit AEBS N, the files all play smooth without any dropped frames (even during substantial network activities). On the Dual Band, frames were dropping every few seconds (even during an otherwise idle network load). When I look at the Airport menu (holding down Option), the Transmit Rate fluctuates between 300 and 1 every few seconds.
    Does this mean I now have 2 defective AEBS? Can someone shed some light on this? We would really appreciate any help.
    PS: When I take a peek in the "Wireless Clients" pane in Airport Util under the Dual Band, the Rate for the 2 AXs are hovering between 1 and 5. Does this sound right?

    I am in a similar situation. I purchased a new dual-band Extreme to replace the older G spaceship with the intent of extending both bands with 2 Expresses, one a new N and other an older G. I extended the N band successfully with the N Express, but when I tried to configure the older G Express I couldn't get the dual band to recognize it when WDS was selected. When I choose "join the existing network" the dual band connected to it, but of course this didn't extend the range.
    My first call to Apple Support indicated that I could only extend one or the other with an Express, and that I would have to buy a second dual band Extreme if I wanted to extend the range of both bands at the same time. I took this to mean that I would set up the 2nd unit would act as a dual remote to "extend the network." I returned the new N Express and got a second dual band Extreme, but before I opened it up I checked with another Apple "product specialist", who then told me that I could NOT use the 2nd dual band Extreme to extend both bands at the same time.....only one or the other. According to this guy I would need to hook both routers up together with an ethernet cable, then I could extend each network separately with the Expresses.
    There has to be a better way to accomplish this.

  • I have a itunes 11, iMac, iPad sync issue... all new kit, the itunes library and photos are on a networrk drive but syncing is useless, no music, no photos, no video, sometimes music and videos may be visible but greyed out on the ipad....

    This is my first posting so sorry for the messy title... I didn't realise how it all worked here.
    I have a shiny new imac, shiny new ipad and have all my media on a network hard drive - itunes works fine on the mac - no problems - photos visible in finder and photoshop - no problems, but when I come to sync the new ipad - several things may happen (I have tried many times now)
    1) a long wait - whirly gig round spinner thing - then music visible on the ipad but greyed out and useless
    2) no photos at all synced
    3) no videos synced
    4) info syncs ok
    5) apps seem to have synced OK
    It is not a data size issue as the same amount of data synced before the new kit from my old windows pc on to an iPod - I daren't try syncing the ipod as I need it for my next business trip.
    I tried removing the ipod cache files for the photos - no difference - I tried restoring the ipad - no difference
    Have I completely wasted a large amount of money?

    ps when syncing it jumps through steps 1 - 4 real fast, i seem to remeber iphone showing the number of tracks transferring and names, but i see nothing? then it sits on 5 saying "waiting for changes to be applied"

  • Sync issues between MBP and iPad with iBooks

    When I load a new PDF into iBooks on my MBP it does not sync with my iPad, why?
    If I move items around in iBooks they move on my iPad, but new PDF's do not appear automaticaly.  I have to email them to myself and manual put them in.  Also, when I open iTunes the new PDF's do not appear there either.

    Open iBooks on your Mac and go to iBooks>Preferences>General and make sure you have checked "Sync bookmarks, highlights, and collections across devices".  On your iOS devices, go to Settings>iBooks and make sure you have Sync Collections turned on.

  • IMAP Sync issues between Mavericks and iOS

    Hi,
    I have an iMac, Macbook Pro, iPad and iPhone.
    I have IMAP mail setup on all.
    Sending and Receiving works on all devices.
    Anything I send from my iMac or Macbook pro shows up in the sent folder on all devices.
    Anything I send from my iPad or iPhone only only show up in the sent folder on the respective device it was sent from.
    Any drafts I save from my iPad or iPhone totally diappear!
    Any messages I mark as junk on my iPhone or iPad I am told i can't be done
    What am I doing wrong to make everything being in proper sync with each other?
    Thanks!

    Thank you for the quick response!
    I considered using icloud drive, but Apple (and many outside sources) say not to use icloud drive unless I have Yosemite installed. (I have old apps that run on Mavericks [photoshop elements 6 among them] that may not run on Yosemite, so I'm not eager to upgrade.) The page you sent me to states that syncing between specific apps on iphone and mac on Mavericks is possible. That's what I'm looking for. I prefer to sync locally, via itunes, but if I have to use icloud I will.
    I think I'm asking a dumb question, but I really have tried to find the information and all I've found refers to menus and options that don't exist in my configuration.

  • Difference between old and new MM?

    Staying in front of dillemma. Don't know what to buy: old MacMini or new one with Intel? What is the difference between them besides speed? Is that difference so important for people who is not so big specialists? Thanks in advance for reply.

    Not surprisingly, this question is being asked rather frequently at present, but it is now getting harder and harder to find G4-based minis, so it's not going to be long before there is no choice.
    The Intel minis are certainly faster than the PPC versions, an in some applications it's quite noticable, though it has to be said that in the usual sort of tasks involving web browsing, email, typing etc, there's not much difference that you would expect to see. If you were planning to use iMovie, Garageband, iPhoto etc, then the Intel version would be a better bet, and certainly if you are hoping to push the system quite hard by regular and perhaps demanding tasks.
    Personally, after testing a couple of Intel mini's, I'm happy with my G4 models - at least for another year or two, but in part that's because at this time some of the software I run is NOT Intel native, so it would run slower on the Intel models under emulation than it does on the G4. If you had a collection of existing software titles you wanted to run (things like Photoshop or inDesign for example) that would be a serious consideration to be taken into account in your decision, since these aren't Intel native as yet and no immediate announcement of them becoming so.
    I would have to say that in my experience, for the sort of things most people use a computer, you likely would be very happy with either. Just bear in mind that the more memory the system, the better it will run anyway.

  • What is the different between old and new succession planning?

    Hi
    I have worked a lot on succession planning in 4.6c. In ECC 6.0, the succession planning has shifted to e-recruitment section.
    1. What is the difference between succession planning in 4.6C and ECC 6.0
    2. Can I still use the old succession planning in ECC 6.0
    3. Is there a requirement to transfer data from old succession planning to new succession planning if we move to ECC 6.0?
