ITunes Still Not Syncing Notes and iCloud Confidence

Well it seems that the loss of USB Notes synchronisation functionality in iTunes at 10.8.1 was deliberate.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4191?viewlocale=en_US
Contacts are now synchronising via iTunes again as of 10.8.2 and iOS 6 formal release but not Notes.
You must now use either iCloud or an IMAP email account that Telstra (biggest Australian telco) does not offer.
Apple will get dissaffected customers if they start to withdraw functionality that was working on your model of iDevice.
They also need to develop better sensitivity to their travelling customers being stung via data usage.
Give users adequate control & iDevice cache data if possible - think Facetime optimisation, Maps update, iCloud Sync etc.
I am reluctant to embrace iCloud as I periodically travel overseas and Global Roaming can send you broke as matters stand.
I can not just turn off roaming or cellular data as I need to get SMS and updates to passbook for boarding passes & tickets.
Also Notes on an iDevice may have confidentiality or intellectual property sensitivity; do you want them on a public server?
I notice too that Photo Stream is getting advertising - again increasing data usage - so what comes next with iCloud cost-wise?
We need an international treaty so that global roaming can no more than double your bill per service - split 50-50 home-away.
Perhaps Apple could facilitate some such arrangement before the masses of new users loose confidence in smart devices?

Sorry about that. Well, I've tried deleting the AlbumData.xml file as suggested also, but iPhoto itself generates a new file every time it's opened, so that's really a dead end. Rebuilding the library and through iPhoto Library Manager are the steps that required most work, and both did not work either, unfortunately.
I do believe that I'm not the only experiencing iTunes syncing problem, as there have been many posts here before when 9.4 came out. Like I wrote, it has been better with each upgrade, so there's definitely something in the coding with 9.4.x that messes things up. I had no trouble whatsoever with version 9.3.2 and prior to that.

Library size is not part of this issue. 12k photos is not a large library these days, I have one four times that size with no syncing issues.

    My ipod touch is not syncing, itunes store won't load, and icloud doesn't work!!!!!

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod

    Oh, and I can't hook up my iPhone to iTunes because it's locked with a passcode.  I can't begin to type the passcode because of this stupid "Restore Needed - can't send or receive calls" thing.  This is beyond silly.

    Please help.. This has become a pain.. and of course theres no way to go back to iOS 6.

    Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11.1.5) Installed on your computer
    iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
    Then... Restore as New (not backup) and Re-Sync your Content.

    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

  • Does itunes still have celebrity playlists and how to get there, if so?

    does itunes still have celebrity playlists and how to get there, if so?

    Thank you.  I had found the us playlist page you directed me to.  Because I had seen no compilation dates more recent than 2006, I wondered if this was no longer a feature of iTunes.
    I did not know about changing the last two letters of the URL for different countries and that does expland the list of artists.
    thanks.

  • Purchased songs from Itunes STILL not playing on ipod mini

    I read all the posts about this issue, of purchased Itunes songs not playing on ipod. I deauthorized the computer and all computers associated with the account. then re authorized them. I reset the ipod several times, and also restored the ipod. I reinstalled the itunes software. I changed the sync to manual. removed one of the purchased songs. reauthorized the computer, then manually added the song back. I renamed the song. I even tried with downloading the free song. Any other suggestions. It made me look bad when after all of this I still could not fix the users issue. Other than declaring it a HARDWARE issue, I thought there could be a registry setting with the authorizing that did not happen properly. Has anyone else experienced this issue , and NOT been able to fix it. It would really appreciate any advice. My only conclusion was hardware, and the user states they had already spoke with apple who declined to help.

    It may be an authorization issue. Both iTunes and the iPod need to be up-to-date.
    Usually, you need to play at least a part of songs purchased from the iTMS within iTunes to authorize them. They won't copy to your iPod until you do this.
    How to transfer Purchased Music from iTunes to your iPod
    iTMS Song and Computer Authorization
    If you've played & authorized them in iTunes and they still skip, try this. De-authorize the computer in iTunes/Advanced menu, then re-authorize it. You re-authorize it by playing one of the songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store within iTunes. It should ask you for your Apple ID and password, and then the computer will be authorized again. Sync your iPod with iTunes, and those songs should play on the iPod once again.
    Another common cause of this is not having the latest version of iTunes.
    If you are using the latest version of iTunes (6.0.4), then you need to make sure your iPod software is up to date also. Get the iPod Updater software, install it, run it and update your iPod.
    When you have done this, authorize your music in iTunes by playing a few seconds of it within iTunes, re-sync your iPod, and it should transfer by whatever synching method you choose.
    If the above 'standard' fixes did not help, then it's a bigger problem that I can diagnose...

  • HT204053 Notes and iCloud

    I am attempting to sync Notes to iCloud from System Preferences but it is asking for a new (@me.com) email address.  Why can't/doesn't Notes use my existing Apple ID email account to sync as do other apps such as Calendar and Contacts?  Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Notes while now seperate from mail on the surface, are still tied to mail behind the scences. You need a me mail account in order to be able to use notes.

  • ITunes STILL not recognizing my iPhone 4S after 3 months

    I have the latest version of iTunes, and the latest upgrade to iOS 7.  My computer (running Windows 8--I have not upgraded to 8.1 because I hear it has all kinds of even worse problems) recognizes my iPhone 4S as a device, and opens it in "My Computer" right away when I plug it in.  However, since September, no matter how many times I upgrade iTunes, try the various forms of troubleshooting I find online, or reboot my laptop and iPhone, iTunes is fully convinced that no device is plugged in at all.
    Here is my diagnostics report in full:

    The only fix I haven't tried (because I can't get it to work out) is to open something specifically called the "Device Manager" on my computer.  For some reason this isn't there; I only have something called "Devices," and as you can see above, "Devices" says that my iPhone is connected correctly.
    This is bothering me.  I have purchased and ripped autographed CDs in the past 3 months, but I can't put them on my iPhone.  I have PDF files I'd like to read on the go, but I can't put them on my iPhone.  The only kind of file transfer I can do is to move photos from my phone to my computer.  This is all I've been able to do for the past 3 months.  Please, PLEASE, somebody fix this!!

  • How can I enable my I pad? I already conected to itunes still not able to use it.

    My ipad is disabled and cannot fix it with the restore with itunes. I tryed it twice took 9 hours to retore it both times still not working.

    Did you try recovery mode? If you try this, temporarily disable your firewall and antivirus software as well when you do go through the process.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

  • ITunes still not remembering login details

    Hello all,
    Is anyone experiencing the fact that iTunes "STILL" does not remember login details for premium Podcasts? I put in the username and password, click the little "Remember Password" box, log out as a test and then, nothing. No remember jack. I was hoping that Apple would listen and fix this but alas they only care about what they care about.
    Did anyone find a work around to this problem. Thanks in advance.

    **Sigh**
    To pay so much many and to get so little support.
    How hard is it for Apple to fix this problem? I am sure the mods will come by and delete my post because I did not speak highly of Apple and the wonder and joy that they bring the world but how about simply making iTunes work as it is advertised? If it is supposed to remember a username and password, how about this? Apple if you are listening, is this toooo much to ask? To make your customers happy.

    That one can be produced if you have an older version of Apple Application Support on the PC than is required by iTunes version 11.1.4.62. (The required version of Apple Application Support is included in the standard iTunes installers, but for some reason it hasn't been updating properly for some folks.)
    Let's try updating your Apple Application Support to version 3.0 by doing a standalone Apple Application Support install.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, can you launch iTunes without the error now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Sync system and icloud keychains

    Hi,
    I had to reset the network settings on my iPhone 5 and then I noticed it had deleted all my wifi passwords from iCloud Keychain.
    Accessing the Keychain app on my Mac, I can see that all the passwords are still in my "system keychain", however, I cannot copy them to the "iCloud keychain".
    Is there any way to copy or sync the "Airport network passwords" from the system keychain into the iCloud keychain?
    Thanks

    Didn't it keep syncing with both iTunes and iCloud even after installing iTunes 11? (PC or Mac?)
    Ever since iCloud came out in 2011 I've had a configuration where I sync some calendars with iCloud and one with Outlook via iTunes. Until today I didn't even realize they had removed the option from iTunes after 10.7 because I think it kept working even after the upgrade. (I guess the new UI wouldn't let me select that option, but since I already had it configured, I think it kept working that way.)
    However, today I cycled my iCloud calendars off and then back on again to solve a different problem and then I was unable to turn on syncing with Outlook again. I stumbled across this article and it all came together: "iTunes 10.7 or earlier will allow you to enable iTunes sync for Calendars even if you are already using iCloud Calendar on your computer."
    Since I think it was working even under iTunes 11, I'm considering restoring from a backup from a couple of days ago to see if that will restore the configuration I had. But you're making me wonder if that will work.
