Mac and iPhone syncing

i plugged my iPhone into someone's Mac recently to charge it, which it successfully did. i didn't sync it to iTunes or anything. Will the owner of that Mac be able to see my iPhone's photos and applications if I have a passcode on my iPhone? Even if the iphone is no longer plugged in?

They not be able to do anything with your iPhone until you enter your passcode.

Mac and Iphone sync documents help please

I have a mac and iphone, how do I sync my mac documents from pages, keynote ect... to be able to see them on my iPhone?

That will depend on your system versions. Which iOS version do you have on your iPhone, and which MacOS X version do you have on your Mac?
With iOS 7 on your iPhone and MacOS X 10.9.5 (Mavericks) you can save documents in the cloud. The Finder will show you iCloud as a storage option, when you save or open documents in Pages, Keynote, ... and your iOS devices can open them.
See: iCloud: About using iWork for iOS and iCloud
If you have upgraded your iPhone to iOS, don't enable iCloud drive. It will disable the ability to use documents in the cloud.

ICloud doesn't sync between mac and iPhone...

Hello all. I have an iphone 4 and I macbook pro which I have just upgraded the OS to OSX Mountain lion.
I have never really made use of icloud before, but intend to start using it as I intend to get an ipad soon.
I have gone into icloud on both my mac and iphone and ticked on everything for icloud. However,nothing seems to really sync. My notes don't go between devices. As far as I can tell neither do my photos.
The only large file on my icloud seems to be backups. However, the only thing in this folder seems to be the back up folder...which only seems to contain infinitiy blade data.
Any help as to where I'm going wrong?
regards,
Matt

I don't want to trust the iCloud, so I want to sync my PERSONAL Notes on my iPhone (4) just with my iMAC (via iTunes), and not saved in iCloud.
Yes iCloud is great for syncing/saving common data, but I want to choose what I sync and if I choose not to save in icloud than I want to have the possibility to save it elsewhere.
Now with Mountain Lion it is not possible anymore to sync between my iPhone and iMac
More and more companies are going to say/dictate "This and this is good for you!"
Please Apple, take your Customers serious and let themselve choose what good for them is!
Thanks in advance!!
P.S.,
if there Apple-Customers who have a solution for syncing Notes between MountainLion and iOS please reply! (Thanks)

HT3529 Syncing iMessage on mac and iphone

When I went to update my phone to IOS 8 an error occurred and I had to restore my phone. Luckily my mac still has all my messages on it. How can I sync my mac and iPhone so my message are all up to date?

Hey jennnnay,
Thanks for the question. Did you happen to backup your device before updating to iOS 8? If so, your messages should have been backed up and restoring from that backup should bring them back:

Is there a way to sync my saved user ids and passwords between Mac and iPhone using iCloud?

Is there a way to sync my saved user ids and passwords in Safari between Mac and iPhone using iCloud? Like I can do using Chrome for Mac and iOS...

You three would do better to sync to google directly. Google has a blackberry app that will allow you to sync your contacts and calendars. The app isn't perfect, but it works reasonably well, especially if you're just using one calendar to sync.
Then there's plenty of ways to sync those to your iPad using Google, including Exchange, or simply adding it as a google account.
As for iCloud, there really isn't any supported or unsupported method to do what you're trying to do, at least at this time. If there is, it would definitely be a hack and I would be wary of risking your contact or calendar data on it..

Hi
I have also posed the same question. I have researched this over the past few weeks and it appears that Apple have decided NOT to Sync Mail Notes with the iPhone or iPod Touch. Sadly, the same is true with the new MobileMe service.
I suggest that people send Apple some feedback and request that they Sync Mail Notes. We need people to send a clear message to Apple.

How sync mail accounts between Mac and iPhone!!

Hi,
May a trivial and stupid question but never found an answer!
How easily sync mail account information (preferences of each mail account) between mac's (Mac Mini and Mac Book Pro) and iPhone?
Sorry to say that but it's so easy in Windows!! Just check the option box in itunes!!
For now, I use iCloud, define to sync mail and connected with same account on all my mac and iPhone ... nothing happened!
Oh yes, sorry, I have three accounts out of 13 who appear!!! But WHY?
I red somewhere that the account information (password) must be saved in keychain ... ok ... but how do I change that for all account?
I tried to remove one and recreate ... no success ... doesn't appear.
Why is it so complicated to have that working as the Mac is so user-friendly?
I also try a search on Apple site ... no explanation!
Some one with a clear and simple "How To" to share?
MANY THANKS!
Pierre

How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud

How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud?
I bought a new iPhone and i would like to copy my Safari's bookmarks from my iMac (OS X 10.10.3) to my new iPhone (iOS 8.3).
How to do this, without iCloud?

You might be able to use Google Calendar to do what you want. Set up a Google account on the web, set up the MacBook to access the Google account, including calendar, then set up the iPhone the same way. While I'm using MAvericks, I am also using Google to manage my calendar, since I don't particularly *like* iCloud... And I came from Android to iPhone, but I haven't like iCloud since it was called MobileMe.
Oh, and as for sync to iTunes, can't you just use a direct conenction to the computer (either WiFi or cable) to keep the music in control?

Needed help in syncing iCal on Mac and iPhone 2g

When I sync iCal on my Mac (Mountain Lion) with iCal on iPhone 2g, some events get "Alert 15 hours before" on iPhone, even though I didn't set this alert. Any ideas?

Check you are logged into the same account on all devices, check that contact syncing is enabled on the mac (system preferences > iCloud). If these details are correct try turning contact syncing off, restarting the mac and turning syncing back on.

Syncing ical on mac and iphone

Did Mountain Lion break calendar and note sync between the Mac and iPhone?

When I was running Lion, my calendars and notes synced properly between my Mac and iPhone (with notes going into Mail.app). After upgrading to Mountain Lion, the notes on my Mac were moved into Notes.app and my calendars appeared to be unharmed. I've recently noticed that neither my calendars nor my notes are syncing between my Mac and iPhone.
I use iTunes to sync my data (either via USB or WiFi) and have no interest in moving to iCloud. I have tried the suggestion of enabling iCloud sync on my iPhone, then disabling, as well as telling iTunes to overwrite the calendar data on my iPhone. Neither of these approaches has solved my sync problem.

I found a solution to my problem. Hopefully it helps someone else too.
I deleted the following file and folder:
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Sync Changes/
When I synced my iPhone, I was presented with several sync conflicts to resolve. I resolved them and applied the changes immediately. Now my Mac and iPhone are in sync and I've confirmed that changes are syncing from my Mac to my iPhone (I'll confirm that it works the other direction tomorrow when I can look at my calendar at work).
This is the thread that helped me:

Should iMessages sync between Mac and iPhone

I've looked online and can't find a definite answer to this.
I use iMessage on the Mac and iPhone, and can send and receive from both, without a problem. However, if I delete an iMessage from one device, it remains on the other. Is this correct, or should deleting it from one automatically delete it from the other, so both devices remain in sync with the same messages in place?
Thanks
Phil

Sync Mac and iPhone and backup to iCloud

I've had my iPhone for eight months and it's about time for me to take advantage of iCloud. I tried this when I first got my iPhone and it didn't work the way I expected. I might have been trying to do toomuch new at once. First I use Apple's iCal and Apple's Address Book. I want to be able to sync changes in both between laptop (Mac) and iPhone, back and forth and backup to iCloud. Last time I tried I think it only synced either changes from iPhone to Laptop or visa versa. My wife has an iPad and iPhone and syncs hers to a different Mac. I guess this would work the same? I probably should get mine solve, then work on hers.
Thanks

This is my calendar list, if it helps.
The private calendar won't sync with anything, it only appears on my mac.
The work home and office calendars sync with iCloud and between all my devices.
The karting calendar syncs with another iCloud account, it will not sync with my primary iCloud event.
Therefore if I create an appointment in either the private or the karting calendars, they will not sync with other devices. I suspect having two work and two home calendars is confusing the matter and you need to turn the correct calendars off and ensure your default calendar in iCal preferences > general is set to the correct calendar so that you aren't creating events in a non iCloud calendar.
