Issues with iPhone syncing

when i first got an apple device [ipod], my parents set it up so i had an apple id under my mom's name and that all my purchases/receipts would go through her.
i was fine with that.
then i got an ipod touch, and again, because i didn't have my own credit card and all my music was under her email's apple id, i had to continue using it.
then i got an iphone, and it's still under her email because of my music and apps.
i recently synced up my iphone for the first time with my mac under the same apple id i've been using for the past several years.
my mom decided to sync up her iphone for the first time ever, and decided to do it under the same email i'd be doing it under.
how do i stop the syncing of contacts and apps and favourites and whatnot between our phones?
is there anyway for her to change her apple id to another one, without resetting her iphone?

Connect the phone, in iTunes click on its name, then the Info tab in iTunes. Select iCal and Address book to sync your contacts. Your mom should do the same thing for her phone and computer; set it to sync with whatever apps she has on the Dell for addresses and calendar (such as Outlook). There's no poblem if you have different computers; your backups will be separate. You probably want to turn off automatic download of content to each of your phones (Settings/Store). This will keep all of your content separate except for content you want to share.
You will need to set up separate iCloud email addresses if you use iCloud, and turn off contact and calendar syncing with iCloud.

  • Having issues with iphone sync

    i have a 1st gen iphone that hasnt given me any trouble till tonight!! i have my been using itunes on a old pc to sync my iphone to. tonight i'm trying to sync iphone to my new mac mini so i can update to 3.1 and it keeps telling me that i'm basically going to lose everything because i've been syncing to the pc for like 2 years now. now heres the real kicker!! i'm not running outlook on the pc because i hate the program and refuse to buy microsoft office just for that program!! With that being said i've never backed up any of my contacts, or calendars! so my question is how do i get my contacts, calendars, photos, and music imported to my mac mini without losing this info??

    Follow these directions, & you will be OK.
    Launch iphoto(if you have it), connect your phone & import your photos into iphoto, only the photos in your camera roll can be imported this way, without third party software, you will lose the rest. Before you connect your phone to the new computer's itunes, launch itunes and make sure you "authorize" this computer(Store, Authorize this Computer). Next go to Address book and enter one contact, it can be a fake contact if you like. Do the same with iCal, again it can be a fake entry. When you connect your phone to itunes & get the pop up message, cancel out. Now, go up to File, Transfer purchases from this ipod to this computer. All of your purchased content will now be transferred to your new computer(music & apps> you will lose saved data in the apps). Make sure that you select manually manage & not auto sync when your phone is connected.
    Now, if you do the above you will only lose photos that are not in the camera roll & music you may have ripped on your own. If you want to keep this stuff, then you will have to purchase 3rd party software like "phoneview", there are others, you can google to find more.
    Now you can decide what you want to do. When you hit sync, if that's your choice, make sure you select merge during the sync process for ical & address book.
    Remember, the iPhone only supports syncing with one computer at a time.

  • Issue with Ipad Syncing with Exchange

    We have 6 folks using Ipads regularly to access our corporate exchange server. Up to now things have been fairly stable.
    That said starting this week our President has been having significants issues with the syncing process. The process seems to be hanging (however it may be jsut retrying over and over). This is resulting in some emails getting sent multiple times. It also appears that the syncing of Calendar events is sporadic.
    No updates ahve been applied to the Exchange server.
    He is a pretty heavy user of the Ipad and email and recieves alot of attachments some that are large 5-10mb. I see some chatter about these types of issues but no real solutions.
    Is anyone else seeing this type of activity? If so any thoughts on how to improve the issue.
    Thanks

    I connected my IPAD for sync with Itunes on my laptop, DELL 6500 running Windows Vista.
    Itunes prompted me to download new OS version 3.2.x It then went to restart my IPAD- and then boom !! .. windows said it couldnt find my ipad driver. I went to apple support site and followed their instructions and still windows cant find the driver. Hence my IPAD is not stuck showing the connect to ITUNES screen .. cant use it and cant get update.
    Any one has any ideas what happened ?

  • I am having issue with iphone 5 bluetooth , not able to connect honda CRV

    I am having issue with iphone 5 bluetooth , not able to connect to my honda CRV

    Don't know if you could consider this an Apple issue. I know you are probably frustrated, and I am not defending Apple here, just saying that the iPhone does not update to support individual automobiles, the automobile manufactures update to support the Bluetooth profiles.The iPhone has the latest Bluetooth stack and supports a number of things. Problems generally revolve around the manufacturer not supporting the lastest Bluetooth version and have to update their systems. Check with Honda, they are probably aware of this, and if you search the forum, you will find a number of posts regarding the CR-V.

  • Is anyone having Mic issues with iPhone 5?

    Is anyone having Mic issues with iPhone 5? Speakerphone works but not the mic, on phone calls and memos.
    Took it to local Genius campus and after taking off the back screen and case, they blew air into the mica and it worked for about 20 mins.
    I can't have a ready can of air around every time the mic goes out.
    Anyone else had similar issues?

    I am having a similar problem. I had the iPhone 5 delivered yesterday. On most of the calls I tried, the person on the other end could hear me just fine on speakerphone, but not on the regular mic. It was garbled, or I would cut in and out. I could always hear the other person clearly.
    I just got back from a Genius Bar appointment where they gave me an entirely new phone. The issue exists on this one also, though now it seems like the audio is more muffled than garbled or spotty. Again, speakerphone works, and I can hear the other person clearly.
    I had originally restored backup from my 3GS, but before I went to the Genius Bar I restored to factory settings just to be sure it wasn't a software issue (it wasn't, apparently). I did not restore from the old phone for this new handset either.
    Thanks for any suggestions...frustrating, for sure!

  • Is there any issue with iphone 6 64gb storage?

    Is there any issue with iphone 6 64gb storage?

    Not sure why you would be led to believe that has anything to do with storage.
    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • Sync issues with iPhone 6 Plus and iTunes

    I'm having issues with syncing my iPhone and iTunes.
    I am running: Mavericks 10.9.3 | iTunes 11.4 | iOS 8.0.2
    Every time I try to sync my iPhone 6 Plus with iTunes, the sync process gets stuck on step 5 of 5 (waiting for changes to be applied).  The longest this has occurred for is 2hrs.  After this time I have stopped the sync and ejected my iPhone.
    I had another issue with my phone when playing music.  When going to play music, I was given the error message saying that the song could not be found.  I connected my iPhone to iTunes and went to the tab in summery page, 'on this iPhone'.  I found the song and could see that next to the song was a small what looked like dotted grey circle.  After Googling this, I found a video saying that if i was to remove all my music and then add it again, this should fix the problem with this song.  I did this and this was when the issue occurred again.
    I unticked the option to remove all music but the sync did not finish. So I cancelled the sync, ejected my iPhone and tried again.  This time, the summery page of my iPhone said there was no music on my iPhone and the 'on this iPhone'  tab, this all so said there was no music however, my music was still on my iPhone including the song that would not play.  All played ok.
    I have read lots in the Apple forums about lost of difference reason this may be happening.  Things like bugs in iOS 8, app updates being transferred during the sync process, the latest iTunes version has bugs and even a dodgy USB cable could cause it.  My iPod running iOS 5 syncs all ok but I get this problem as well on my iPad Air.
    I all so had this issue with my old iPhone 4S.  The problem occurred when running iOS 7 and 8 on the 4S.  When I had it on the 4S, I did a restore of the 4S 4 times and thought I had found the issue down too a dodgy app.  However, now that it has happened on my new iPhone and still not using that app, could this be an issue with my Mac/iTunes?
    I am in contact with Apple Care, but this is such a long process. 
    So if anybody could please offer any advice on this or steps to try to maybe solve the issue, it would be really helpful.   Or if anybody is experiencing the same problem, it would be good to know its not just my devices and Mac producing this sync problem.
    I will update my post with any information provided by Apple Care as and when I get it.
    Thanks for reading and thanks for your time.
    Mark. 

    Hi,
    Just wanted to updated my original post and give some more information on this issue that I'm having with my iOS devices running iOS 8.0.2 and iTunes 11.4.
    Firstly I just want to updated my details about what version of Mavericks I'm running.  I'm running 10.9.5 - I put the wrong version down in my original post.
    So over the last week, I have had a few phone calls with Apple Care an am dealing with a senior technical advisor about this issue.
    I have been given some instructions that I am currently working through to see if it solves the sync issue with iTunes and my iOS devices. 
    The Apple Care advisor has pointed out that a iTunes version issue with music that I have ripped to iTunes and the current iTunes version could be what is causing the problem.  For example, every song that I have purchased from iTunes since having an account, I was told are all exactly the same the same when it comes down the to data/information about that track/album that iTunes stores with the music but when it comes to music that I have added to iTunes myself from a CD,  this was added and encoded with the version of iTunes that was running at the time of adding the music.  So going through all the music that I added to iTunes over the last 10 years, you can imaging that there was lots of mixed version of iTunes linked to lots of different music.
    At the moment, I'm having to go through all my music and find any that I have added and create a new ACC version of that music and delete the old version.  However, due to the amount of music that I have, this is going to take a long time.  When I was on the phone to the Apple Care advisor, we did several albums as a test and they all synced over to my iPhone.  This may just have been luck though at that time.
    Now, I'm not saying that this will solve the problem that I have with the sync issue but I am going to try it and see how I get on.  The only down side to this fix as far as I can see at the moment, is  that when it's all done, I think I will have to fully restore all my iOS devices to get music on to them.
    I will of course updated this topic when I have got through all my music and tried to sync my iOS devices.
    Thank you all for your comments.

  • Sync Issue with iPhone Contacts and Entourage Contacts

    Curious, when I update my contacts from my iPhone 3G I would expect both Entourage Contacts and my MacBook Pro address book to eventually become fully sync'd.
    This is not the case...for example I have added a photo to one contact numerous times and it does eventually update my address book contact but at some point this photo is removed. I have sync services enabled in both Entourage and System Preferences but can't figure out where the conflict exists. I have a suspicion that it is Entourage since this - as of yet - has no idea what a MobileMe cloud is.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    I am having some of the same issues and I think you are right about Entourage. Here is what I did for a temporary fix. I did a export, address archive from my address book, then I imported it back into my address book, overwriting my address in my address book, I now have 217 contacts in both my address book and iPhone. Apple has some issues with syncing and they need to get this fixed.

  • Ical syncing issues with iphone/imac after lion OS update.

    Hi All,
    I upgraded to lion and now have two issues with syncing my iphone and ipad to my imac.
    First issue is that calander entries created on the iphone/ipad do not appear in the imac calander after syncing.
    Second issue is that if I change an calander entry on my imac, the old entry and the new entry will show up on my iphone.  For example. I created an event and accidently clicked out of it before changing the name.  I then reopened that entry and changed the name and date. In my imac ical calender I only had one entry at the final date with the correct name.  When I synced my iphone and ipad however two events showed up on the iphone and ipad. The original "new event", and the event with the correct name and date.
    The same thing happened when I had the same event occuring for 5 days,  I manual copied the one event five times on the one day and then dragged them to the correct days in ical on my imac.  When I synced my iphone I had both the 5 entries on the one day, as well as the entries on the days I had dragged them to.
    In summary, now when I look at my calander in ical on my imac it looks great, but on my iphone it has all these extra entries. It is as though when it syncs it shows me all of my previous entries and changes, instead of the actual current calander.
    Any thoughts how I can get the imac and iphone icals to look the same?
    and in case you were wondering, I dont use Icloud.  I did set it up and turned it off after the duplicate entry problem that everyone has mentioned.  I dont have that duplicate entry issue anymore.
    Thanks
    Adrian

    From what your write, it is a little hard to tell, what exactly your problem is, though you may want to try the following, which helped me at time:
    step one:
    export all of your calendars one by one, including the one with entries giving you problems
    step two:
    erase all of your calendars and create a dummy character, check if syncing works with that one.
    reimport the previously exported calendars one by one, redoing the syncing routines.
    In the instances I had problems, I found that exporting and reimporting a calendar file usually did away with the problem
    Also, at least on my machines, turning on the birthday link to address book, created some problems, so you might want to try without that feature too.
    If you got everything working on one machine, another strategy can be to reinitiate syncing from that one, i.e. erase and reinstall the syncing process on the others. Just make sure you have an up to date back up of your entries.

  • Sync Issues with iPhone 4/4S? I think I've found the problem.

    Hello all!
    I and quite a few others here have had syncing issues with our iPhone 4, and I think I've found a solution. I use an application called iToner 2 to create my ringtones, and after deleting all my iToner 2 created ringtones, I have no more sync issues.
    If you are using any type of application that is designed to work with the iPhone and iTunes, I would suggest you not use it until it gets updated to work with iTunes 10.5 and iOS5.
    I hope this helps.

  • Sync issues with iPhone & iPad

    I couldn't find the answer to this in any other post.
    I have been having problems with icloud syncing my computer, iPhone, and iPad.  I am really only noticing issues in the calendar and reminders.
    I have narrowed it down to the fact that the Mac will upload events and reminders to my devices, but anything I put on my devices does not get synced anywhere else.  This is a problem since I enter most of my info on my iPhone and iPad.
    I tried turning the calendars on and off on every device.  I tried resetting sync services.  I saw the post about deleting the calendar prefereces and plist, but I don't have those on my computer.
    Nothing has worked!  Thanks in advance for everyone's help!

    Check to see if calendar events entered on your iPhone and iPad appear on your calendar on icloud.com.  If they don't,
    go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar and be sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default and not something else like On My iPhone, a Google calendar, etc.  If you haven't, make this change, then add a new event and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now.
    If your settings are correct and new events still aren't appearing on icloud.com, add any missing calendar events from your phone to your calendar on icloud.com.  Once the calendar on icloud.com is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then after a minute or so, turn Calendars back to On.  Then add a new event on your phone and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now.
    For reminders, open the reminders app and tap the icon with three stacked bars on the upper left.  Then confirm that you are creating reminders in your iCloud account and not something else such as On My iPhone.

  • Anyone noted Bluetooth connection issues with iPhone 4s and Ford sync?

    My wifes iPhone 4 with IOS 5.0.1 auto connects to Ford Sync at least 75% of the time on first attempt. My new iPhone 4S with IOS 5.0.1 takes 4-5 attempts and rarely if ever connects without multiple attempts. Any one else seeing issues with failed Bluetooth connections with iPhone 4S phones?

    Look at the right panel for links to other threads concerning problems with Fords. And it's not just Fords, cars in general.  No solutions seem to be given.

  • Issue with Ford Sync (Microsoft Sync) & iPhone 4--Playing Music via USB

    I have a 2011 Ford Flex and and iPhone 4. The Sync system will not play music via the USB connection. It is quite temperamental with the bluetooth as well. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Well I have a 2010 Fusion with Sync and an iPhone 4. Have had various issues getting things to work right all the time. I'm not sure if Sync in the 2011's is much different.
    When you say it doesn't play music, what does it do when you give it the USB command? Does the iPhone charge when plugged into the USB port? If the phone charges and it seems to let you select USB but doesn't play any music, on your iPhone, go to iPod and you may see an accessory connected screen. Touch the icon next to SYNC and you will see SYNC and doc connector listed. Touch doc connector and see if the music is heard.
    If you haven't already register at www.syncmyride.com you will find some community forums there with hints/steps on getting Sync and iPhone to work properly.
    Generally though, there have been a lot of issues with SYNC and Apple devices.
    Hope this helps.
