Iphone ios5 MAC os10.6.8

I am having trouble synching my MAC and Iphone...
Entries entered on my iphone calender do not show up on iCAL on my mac, yet everything I enter on my MAC does show up on the iphone calender.
I unticked synching through iCloud as I was not about to upgrade to LION for all my my macbook air (which I only bought two months ago) and my iMac...
Yet still having trouble synching my calenders.. Can anybody offer suggestions as to how I can make my calnders correspond as they should?

Sarah, I've recently had the same problem as you as well - and unfortunately I have no answer   I only used to sync between my MacBook Pro and iPhone 4, and anything I've put in the iPhone, even though the calendars are all the same as on the MacBook, will not sync, but anything on the MacBook will sync to the iPhone. I haven't upgraded to LION either but do have IOS5 on the iPhone, and it all seemed to go wrong from when I applied that update. I therefore thought I would try and use the iCloud to try and rectify that problem - well, that was a complete disaster.  It duplicated a load of entries (sometimes up to 8 times) when I performed the merge function - and some of them I could not even edit or delete - so therefore had to switch the iCloud off and then copy back onto iPhone my calendar entries again (but the ones I created on the iPhone had still remained). I don't have a problem at all with contacts that have been added/updated syncing on both devices, just the calendar. Is Apple forcing people to use iCloud, as I never even used to use the MobileMe apart from setting up the account for if I lose the iPhone. What happened to having a choice as to where you want to store your data?  Hope someone can come up with some answers for this as its extremely frustrating.

  • How can I get my contacts from iPhone ios5 to my mac osx10.6

    I recently upgraded my late model 2006 iMac to OS Lion. I also updated my iPhone to IOS5.
    Lion is not really configured to work seamlessly with an older mac, so I reverted back to OSX 10.6.
    This means I've lost all contacts in my address book.
    Is there a way of retrieving contacts from my iPhone IOS5 so I can add them back onto my mac?
    This is so frustrating and until I can afford a new mac, I need to find a way of getting my contacts back.
    At the moment I don't want to synch my phone with my mac for fear of losing content on my phone.

    It might take a bit longer, but it's risk free:
    Use your iMac to send your contacts in an email to yourself
    Open them using your iphone.
    They should arrive as vcf format and you click to open it and hey presto!
    Also works the other way round, so when I receive an email from a new contact, I register it on my iphone and click on "share contact", sending it to me which I then open on my Powerbook.

  • Mac OS10.9 Quark 9.5.4 - font leading issues

    Mac OS10.9 Quark 9.5.4
    Recently upgraded OS and Quark and my documents that use the font Avenir are not displaying correctly. Fonts leading has expanded so anywhere Avenir is used, the leading changes the layout and most text boxes are overset.
    - leading is set to Auto
    - do not use a font manager, I use FontBook- checked usage and font is not missing
    - deleted Avenir, emptied font cache, restarted and issue still exists- made a new user, packaged a file, opened in new user and issue still exists
    - not just one file, issue exists in every file I made that uses Avenir in my archive- had my colleague open the same archived files on their computers and files were correct
    - had colleague send me Avenir font, deleted out of my library, reloaded font and issue still exists
    - deleted font out of my library and just used Avenir system font, issue still exists- deleted Quark and re-uploaded, issue still exists
    - re-uploaded OS, issue still exists- did a thumbnail transfer of items from old doc to a new doc, issue still exists
    - have spent over 6 hours on the phone with Quark support and have numerous messages back and forth in a job ticket, no resolution
    I would not normally use Quark, but a client reuqests it. I suspect I might have a corrupted system font but I am unsure. 3 weeks behind schedule on my project and am desperate for help. Any ideas?

    I just found out my E3000 was no longer compatible with making a Guest Access password.  Spent a ton of time online chatting with a Linksys/Cisco rep who told me it was not longer compatible with the newer operating systems...BUT THIS IS A LIE! My E3000 works great with Yosemite.  A couple of things you need to know.  1.  You can no longer use the Cisco Connect CD to set up a Guest PW.  It has been replaced by a handy App, that you can download from the App store:  http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=156285 2.  You can change the settings on your Wifi router directly from this app.  No need to go into the 192.168.1.1 site and configure it but if you want to, you still can do this.  On the website, there is no way to configure the GUEST settings unfortunately.... 3.  You can configure a Guess Access code and set the number of computers allowed to use it at one time on the App.  After you set the code, it will bring you off line then online again.   Make sure you log in to your WIFI network under both Guest and your WIFI network to see if works.  For some reason, it took some time for my iPhone to bring me to the Guest sign-in page, but I eventually switched the ON/Off button on the Guest Password setup and it worked.  All guests should be redirected to a CISCO SIGN-IN page where they can log in with the guest Password. 4.  I can't believe the customer reps didn't tell me immediately about this app!  I gave it 1 star as it wasn't working very well until I reset everything and started over.  Maybe that was just my incompetence.... Good luck!  My 5 yr old dual band router is still working very well!  No need to get a new one to be compatible with Yosemite!   

  • ITunes 10.4.fails to launch, (mac OS10.58), error 13001

    Hi, I'm a newbie to these forums.
    My iTunes 10.4.1 fails to launch, (mac OS10.58), error 13001.
    Fault appears specific to my user account.I want to fully uninstall every itunes related software component, then re-install.
    Where can I find reliable extensive instructions for full uninstall?
    My web searches have not located an accurate/extensive support page, but I'm sure such information has been posted before.
    Previous uninstall/re-install attempts have failed, I suspect due to overlooked iTunes related files remaining in the system.
    Have given up trying to correct the fault many times before, after too many wasted hours.
    I have not been able to synch iPhone since some time in 2010, when the error first presented.
    Now I need to unlock iPhone to migrate to another network, which requires use of iTunes.
    Any expert advice would be appreciated!

    Hi Folks,
    Moving the iTunes app as suggested above did not solve the problem for me.  However, a post in another discussion suggested:
    first deleting the iTunes.app file from the applications folder
    then downloading & reinstalling a fresh copy of iTunes from:
              http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    I tried this suggestion and found that deleting the app & reinstalling a fesh copy did solve the problem on both of my affected systems. (I backed up my iTunes library beforehand to be safe,  but my iTunes library was unaffected by the reinstall.)
    Hope this works for you.  Good luck!

  • Saving voice memos from iphone to mac

    Hi all,
    I've read a couple of threads re synching voice memos from my iphone to my mac.  And i've followed the instructions (i.e. clicking the "include voice memos" under the synch music section in itunes).  Trouble is when the synch runs and i go into itunes library to find the voice memos i cant find them.  I've searched by typing in "voice memo" as well as manually searching through the entire library.  The voice memos are still safely on my iphone, but not in my itunes library.  Any clues?

    You can transfer voice memos from iPhone to Mac by emailing:
    Open the voice memo app and select the recording you want to transfer, then tap on the Share icon in the left corner under the Play button. Now you have the option to send it as a Mail.
    Choose Mail then fill in the relevant details and hit send. This is fine for the occasional memo, but if you have several that you want to do at once - or have long recordings whose files sizes are not inbox friendly - then the best solution is to use iPhone Transfer for Mac.

  • TS3276 My o2 email account does not work when sending from my MAC it will accept incoming mail but not send it gives me a message that  o2 account (offline) my mac I have no problem with my iPhone  or mac laptop. any suggestions please.

    Sorry for the delay...
    I did what you've told me, new account and manually copied my files from Time Machine. I had lots of permissions problems, but at the end, almost everything is in order... It seems it had to be with some of the Apple Preferences, but I can't be sure, as most of them were dumped to the trash can.
    I still don't have my Mail Rules back, unfortunately, although I did goggled some. It is a pity, as I had around 30 or 40 of them, getting my mail in order to each of its mailboxes, but it is a small price as the rest doesn't show the before syntoms.
    Thanks for the help, anyway!!

  • Downloading of emails via webmail, iPhone and Mac Mail

    I currently access emails from my ISP via three avenues. I use webmail when I'm in the office, iPhone on the go and Mac Mail at home. However, I will end up seeing the same emails three times. Even after deleting unwanted emails from my webmail, they will still appear in iPhone and Mac Mail when I access emails and vice versa. Has this anything to do with the POP or IMAP settings? I have set my ISP email on iPhone and Mac Mail under POP. I have ever tried to change the POP to IMAP with same results.
    Any advice? Thanks.

    I am having the same issue.

  • Problems with Mail after upgrading to MAC OS10 version 10.6.8

    I upgraded to MAC OS10 version 10.6.8 about ten days ago, and have since had lots of problems with mail. Since I upgraded, I have downloaded several software updates, including one for improving the general softeware system of Leopard.  Since this morning, I no longer have the Mail icon in the dock and when I try to open it in Applications a window comes up saying:
    'You can't use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OS X.  You have Mail version 4.5 (1084/1085). It can't be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 (Build 10K549)
    Can I download a version that I can use with this Mac, and can anybody give me the site where I can find this. I have tried without success

    You should consider downloading the 10.6.8 combo updater and applying it again.

  • TS4185 i am using the same apple id for facetime in my iphone and mac. now, only my iphone can receive and make facetime calls. why can't facetime calls in my mac get through?

    i am using one apple id for facetime in my iphone and mac. my phone is able to receive and make calls while my mac is not able to do both. what is the problem.

    thanks.  your answer was correct, clearer.  I have another question, maybe you can answer.  I just purchase my ipad2 2 days ago.  yesterday, there was a sound.  today there is no sound.  there is a sound only in movies and you tube and music.  but no sound on all apps and keyboards.  I look it up and seems like ther are few that have this problem.  I called walmart coz I bought it there and they told me that they have not heard that before but if I can't fix it, just return it and exchange it with anew one since I have 14 days to do that.  I tried rebooting it and still won't work.  Should I just restore it?

  • I can't seem to update icloud's calendar via my iPhone's calendar. Also, iCal on Mac follows iCloud so when I sync iPhone to Mac it becomes a even more confusing situation...

    Pardon my ignorance. I have scoured the forums and no one seem to touch on the exact subject I am talking about.
    I can't seem to update iCloud's calendar via my iPhone's calendar with all connectivity turned on (sync,push,pull,slap whatsoever).
    Also, iCal on Mac follows iCloud (sluggishly and not due to connection problem, so i'd nice to have a status bar telling me whether or not it's active and doing some updating) so when I sync iPhone to Mac it becomes a even more confusing situation...
    Simplified version:
    -Events created on the iphone doesnt get on icloud.
    -When iphone is synced with ical on mac and changes are made on Mac, changes are not immediately reflected on iphone unless clicked "sync"
    -I just want to view a live ical at all times without going to safari and opening up the web iCal. I want to view a 100% live iCal on the native iCal via iPhone. Like google docs! Is that too much to ask!?
    Iphone seemed to have a "push" or "sync in this many minutes" option for iCal, but that seemed like it's only receiving changes, and not send out changes made via phone. Very confusing, very annoying!

    Download iTunes using the tab at the top of this page. Then run the update with iTunes closed.

  • If my iphone, ipad, MAC and macbook pro are all linked, and then I upgrade only my phone to iOS 7.0, does that have an effect on my calendar, etc.  It doesn't seem to be showing the same data it was before the update.  Lost lot of info from calendar.

    If my iphone, ipad, MAC and macbook pro are all linked, and then I upgrade only my ipone to IOS 7.0, does that have an effect on the linking to my other MAC products.  It seems my calendar has lost a lot of information since the upgrade.

    If you purchased Lion for your iMac, just log into the Mac App Store from your MacBook using the Apple ID under which you purchased Lion and go to the Purchases page. You will be able to download and install Lion there. 
    searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7
    The only place you get get Lion is from the Mac App Store. If you found some other site, that was an illegal copy and almost certainly tied to someone else's Apple ID and hence unusable by you. If the link was just to the Mac App Store, see above.
    As to the problem with synchronization to iCloud, that's not a 10.6 question, so I'd suggest you take up that specific issue in either the Lion or iCloud forums, providing full details, and someone there can probably help you sort things out.
    Regards.

  • HT204161 I want to use iCloud for every thing else except for Messages. I do not want to send an iMessage and receive it on both my iPhone and Mac.

    I want to use iCloud for every thing else except for Messages. I do not want to send an iMessage and receive it on both my iPhone and Mac.
    How do I do that?

    Howdy kingtonz,
    If I understand you correctly, you want to limit to limit your use of the Messages application to non-iCloud sources such as text messaging through your phone carrier, is that right?
    You can turn off the use of iMessages in Settings > Messages > iMessage. See this help article -
    Messages settings - iPhone
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • How can I use Imessage from Iphone to mac?

    Hello
    I am a new user for the awesome new feature Imessage
    And I have a question: how can I send a message to an IPad or IPod or Mac or IPhone from IPhone and Mac?
    Thanks

    To send from the iPhone to the mac or Ipad you need an email address to send to, instead of a phone number.
    on the iPad or mac you need to setup Messages. I do not have mesages on the mac and do not have an iPad but I have set it up on my iPod Touch and I assume it is similar.
    Settings>Messages>
    > iMessage > ON
    > Send Read Reveipts > ON or OFF your choice
    > Received At > [email protected]
    Enter your valid email address in the "Received At" field.
    As long as the email is valid it should work, and I assume you will need a different email for the iPad and Mac.
