MacBook (iTunes) and iPhone 5 Issues

This is not an actual question, though a complaint for Apple to know how dull their products can become over time. I've purchased my iPhone 5 (and then replaced it over the screen issues one year ago) and my MacBook Pro (13', late 2011, 2,8 Ghz) is just getting worse and worse in its overall performance (with Mavericks in particular).
One of my biggest complains is that music doesn't sync to my iPhone properly over WiFi. Since we live in 2014 for me it is very inconvenient to sync music via cable. Therefore I sync my music rarely (although I'd do it on the daily basis if not the issues I experienced so far) using a very inconvenient method of deleting all music from last sync and syncing the new music onto iPhone.
Macbook is another story. Since it was purchased three years ago I can't believe how such expensive laptop can't stand by its name. Everything became much more slower with Mavericks (start up of the system, app loading and etc.) Particularly iTunes is a nightmare - sometimes it can't see the device over the internet and always cancelling the sync when I'm uploading my music.
This is general complaint, not a question. I'm sorry for my english.

if this phone has never been jailbroken or hacked, try these steps as needed:
1. Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
2. Get new SIM card from AT&T
3. Get new cable and charger from Apple
4. Restore iOS using iTunes, also restoring a backup
5. Restore iOS using iTunes as a new phone, without restoring a backup
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If restoring as new doesn't help, there's a hardware problem that needs evaluation by Apple or an Apple authorized service provider.

  • Itunes and Iphone sync issues

    Hi There,
    So I have a slight problem and would be grateful if someone would shed some light as to how I can overcome this.
    I have an iPhone 5 and iTunes for windows, however, I have not downloaded the current software for the iPhone 5 as I do no have any storage space for it. I have recently tried to update my iPhone's music playlist but the playlist I want to sync is not, however, my old music and playlists keep syncing instead, and it keeps adding albums.In my new playlist I have approx 200ish songs whereas my iTunes is syncing over 700ish (and I've made sure I have not clicked and synced my library- my library has over 1000 so not sure where its syncing 700) I have tried several times to fix this by;
    switching off phone
    closing iTunes and opening it again
    creating a different playlist and re-syncing music
    de-selecting albums and artists manually
    de-selecting all music then syncing
    created a different playlist
    and none of the above have worked at all  
    It would be much appreciated if anyone has any advice or guidance as to how I can fix this, as I have new music I want to listen to, and with this new music I'll have more storage space!
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi R@chel,
    It sounds as if you are having difficulty making sure your iPhone only gets the music you want. In order to do this, you need to manually manage the data that gets synced to your iPhone. This article explains how to do so -

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
    Specifically -
    Syncing manually
    If you prefer not to automatically sync content to your device, you can set up manual syncing:
    Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes.
    Click the Devices button in the upper-right corner. (If you're viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner. The Devices button will appear.)
    In the main iTunes browser window, select the Summary tab.
    Select the option to Manually manage music and videos or Manually manage music. This will deselect the automatic sync settings for the Music, Movies, and TV Shows tabs.
    Click Apply.
    And -
    After following the steps above, you can add individual songs, videos, and playlists from iTunes to your device. To add content to your device:
    Select your device.
    Click On this Device.
    Choose Add to in the upper-right corner. If you drag a song, video, TV show, or movie while viewing the media in your iTunes library, a sidebar will show up on the right. You can drag your content onto the device. You can also create and modify playlists directly on the device.

  • Some videos are not showing in Apple TV playlist after upgrade to 6.0.  Can play on Macbook itunes and using airplay to Apple TV.  Anybody else have this issue?

    Some videos are not showing in my Apple TV playlists after upgrade to 6.0.  They were there prior to upgrade and I can play on Macbook itunes and also using using airplay to Apple TV.  Anybody else have this issue?

    Ok, so I'll try again.  Thank you for the idea of looking in Home Videos, which is where all my "lost" videos are listed.
    Is there a way to get them to display under their appropriate genre in the Movie section, which is where they all were listed prior to the os6 update?  It does me no good to have hundreds of movies categorized in iTunes via a genre only to have them appear in Home Videos on ATV.  These are not "home movies." They are legit mp4 movies that worked great under v5.

  • Moving iTunes and iPhone from an old PC to a new MacBook Pro

    Hi, I am having some real problems. I have recently bought a new Macbook Pro to replace my old Windows PC. I am having no trouble moving all of documents and music from the old PC however I am completely stuck for what to do in transferring my iTunes and iPhone 4 content AND information onto the new itunes. I have consolidated the music files on the old pc but havent copied anything yet.
    What I am looking to do is to be able to sync the iPhone to the new Mac without any of the information on the iphone being erased. Is this possible without having to pay for third party software? I have a WiFi network which both of the computers are connected to. I am also able to use an external harddrive.
    I have already transferred the purchases from my account onto the new mac but a lot off my music isnt from the itunes store but is from various CD's.
    I am really lost on what to do and I am even considering writing down all my contacts, lol. However, i do have all of my current iPhone info such as contacts and calender sync'd with iCloud if this helps.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Matt

  • I have two email accounts on my MacBook Pro and iPhone.  My iPhone continues to send messages from either account that I choose.  My MacBook says that one of my email account outgoing mail servers is Offline?  How can I get that working again?

    I have two email accounts on my MacBook Pro and iPhone that I have been using for a few years.  My phone works perfectly for both accounts.  Now one of my email accounts on the MacBook says the outgoing server is Offline?  How can I fix that so that both accounts send and receive email.  I have tried various things in settings but nothing seems to work.

  • What can one do with Bluetooth between MacBook Pro and iPhone?

    Hello,
    I tried enabling Bluetooth on my MacBook Pro and iPhone, thinking I could file transfer some photographs. It seems not to work; after trying to "browse the device" it effectively 'times out' (as if it's a neverending 'loading' wait icon). I saw some other threads here, "I can't sync/connect my iPhone and iMac!" with various replies, like "you sync [Calendar agenda] via MobileMe, not via Bluetooth."
    What does one do with Bluetooth? Can't I send files wirelessly from my phone to my laptop? If not, why not? If so, why is the connection wait interminable? I have enabled File Sharing and Bluetooth Sharing on my laptop, but see no direct means to do so in my phone's settings -- must this be done through iTunes? Do I need to configure something further before I can send files?
    I have iPhone 3G Version 4.2.10 (last I checked -- still waiting to install an update) and Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.6.8).
    Thanks for your time!

    "I tried enabling Bluetooth on my MacBook Pro and iPhone, thinking I could file transfer some photographs."
    This is not a feature of iphone.  Never has been.
    Other than tethering for internet, where provided by the carrier, you cannot connect to a computer/device/phone and do anything.
    Bluetooth is for handsfree telephone devices/headsets, stereo speakers/headsets, some keyboards, some peer to peer apps from the app store and tethering where provided by the carrier.

  • I have the IPhone, IPad and MacBook, IPad and IPhone share the same Apple ID and Icloud storage. Cannot make ID Change on MacBook as it says the ID is already taken. How can I make all three match?

    I have the IPhone, IPad and MacBook, IPad and IPhone share the same Apple ID and Icloud storage. Cannot make ID Change on MacBook as it says the ID is already taken. How can I make all three match?

    The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
    Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
    also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
    and the iTunes Match services.
    (I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
    If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
    iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
    and
    iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
    In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

  • Itunes and iphone podcasts unusable

    What is going on with Apple's attempt to redesign the podcast players on itunes and iphone?
    The itunes library has been difficult to manage with need to delete podcasts several times to remove them from library
    the iphone player has been stopping midway through podcasts and then being unable to play again.
    I understand I may not be what apple wants podcasts to go (using itunes to download and manage with iphone to listen) but it's gone from worse to unusable in the last year. I cannot imagine what the situation that has designed for.

    I am still getting this issue. Anyone else?
    I'm also finding that when I try to manage podcats via itunes and click 'Show all available episodes', if they have already been downloaded on my phone they do not appear *at all* in itunes.
    I am getting incredibly annoyed at this very, very poor functionality.

  • MacBook Pro and iPhone 4S Repeatedly drop WiFi

    First off I didn't know what category to put this question in because it really is AirPort, MacBook Pro, and iPhone 4S at once.
    So I have a different home network setup than most, I have 2 routers on my network. Now before you start pointing fingers, all other devices work perfectly on it. I have two Netgear WNDR3300s, only one is DHCP, UPnP, NAT, etc... And they have separate channels. My family members' iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPad 2, iPod 4, and iPad Mini, all work perfectly on this network at a blazing 20Mbps (Tested using Ookla's SpeedTest Website and iOS App). My iPhone 4S and MacBook Pro continuously drop the wifi signal at random times and I am no more than 5 feet from the nearest router. Here are the details in a less condensed form...
    Network:
    Cable Modem Arris TG722
    v
    Cat 5e Cable
    v
    Router 1 (DHCP, NAT, UPnP, Channels 6g and 157n) Netgear WNDR3300 DualBand Router
    v
    Cat 5e Cable (Connected to 1 of the 4 LAN ports on BOTH routers)
    v
    Router 2 (No DHCP, No NAT, No UPnP, Channels 11g and 149n) Netgear WNDR3300 DualBand Router
    v
    MacBook Pro
    iPhone 4S
    MacBook Pro
    - Mid 2010
    - 13 Inch
    - OSX: 10.8.5
    - Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    - Memory: 8GB 1067MHz DDR3
    iPhone 4S
    - Bought about 3 months after release
    - Condition: Like New
    Routers
    Netgear WNDR3300
    Firmware up to date
    Non-interfereing channels
    Connected via CAT-5e
    DCHP, NAT, UPnP only on one.
    Something to note is that I do have AirPlay on my network passing through a first gen AirPort Express and second gen Apple TV on an Ethernet CAT-5e connection. I most often drop wifi when streaming to the AirPort Express, however it also occurs at other times. The devices do drop it randomly however, I was streaming music and it dropped 3 hours in when I did nothing.
    I consider myself very tech savvy, of course that is opinionated. At this point I am clueless because of the randomness of the connection refusal and how all other devices are ok.
    Not sure if I mentioned it but if I try to recconect to the netowkr after it drops it either says "Timed out" on Mac or "Unable to connect" on iPhone.
    I am so confused now... If you have any ideas please let me know!
    P.S. The two devices operate much better on my network when it only has one router, but I must have 2 for the range and versatility.
    If any more information is needed please let me know.

    I upgraded to OSX Mavericks and I am still having the same problem on both devices. It is occuring more and more often to the point where I almost broke something .
    Something weird to note is that every time it drops, I will try to reconnect. When I do so, it says failiure still, but the new window on Mavericks has the diagnostics button. As soon as I hit that button the wifi jumps right back, working perfectly. (Of course then I will lose it 5 minutes later).
    If anyone has any ideas please let me know!!!

  • TS3999 How do I get my Macbook Pro and iphone 5 to sync calendars in 2014? It worked fine in 2013, but the 2014 dates are blank on my Macbook.

    Do the events from your iPhone calendar appear on icloud.com?  If not, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the Calendars section) and make sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default.  If you haven't, make this change, then add a new event on your iPhone calendar and see if appears on icloud.com and your Mac now.

  • Why won't the folders in Mail sync consistently across my iMac, MacBook, iPad and iPhone?

    Ok, this one is complex; here's the deal..... 
    I'm using a single Gmail account with Mail on an iMac, MacBook, iPad and iPhone, using Lion and iOS 5. The 4 respective 'Mails' are not synchronising consistently between each other.  Here's what's going on:
    Received messages are appearing in all 4 Inboxes.
    If a message is deleted from any of the 4 Inboxes, it is deleted from all other Inboxes.
    So far so good. But:
    When I create a draft message, or delete a message from the Sent folder - iMac and Macbook sync with each other, and iPad and iPhone sync with each other, but each 'pair' won't sync with the other 'pair'.
    But to complicate things further (and this is the one which is driving me up the wall), let's look at the Sent folder:
    If I send a message from the iMac or Macbook, the message appears in all 4 Sent folders.
    But if I send a message from the iPad or iPhone, those 2 devices will sync their Sent folders, but the message will NOT appear in the Sent folders of the iMAc or MacBook.
    So what is going on there? I've spoken to numerous One-to-One staff and Apple technicians on the phone over the last 12 months, we've checked settings, I've deleted and then reinstalled the Gmail account on Mail - but no success.  Please solve this for me!!

    The reason I asked is because keying all devices synced is exactly what it is all about.
    FYI, You need to use the Mail application, but you do NOT need to use an @me.com account. It support Gmail and other mail servers.

  • IMessage works on MacBook Pro and iPhone but not iMac

    I am able to send messages via SMS and iMessage on my MacBook Pro and iPhone 5S but not on my iMac.  On the iMac I get "Not Delivered" and "Try Again". I verified that the same iCloud account is being used on all.  I can tell that the iMac and the phone are pairing as I get a message to that effect when I log into the iMac.  All software is up to date 10.10.1 on the Macs and 8.1.2 on the iPhone.
    I have tried logging out of my iCloud account on the iMac and logging back in.  I have tried removing com.appple.imagent.plist from my Library/Preferences and rebooting.  Neither worked though removing the plist file appeared to work but in reality the messages were not being delivered.  Later the behavior went back to giving the error messages.
    I have reported this to Apple but was hoping someone had found a solution.
    This is from the log file when I try to send a message (my iCloud account replaced with xxxxxx, phone number I was texting to replaced with pppppp).

    (com.apple.imfoundation.IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent) The _DirtyJetsamMemoryLimit key is not available on this platform.
    I look forward to any advice anyone can provide. Thanks.

    Based on information in another answer I tried the following ...
    After doing what blueno suggested I did have to reboot.  I then had to provide my password lots of times when I logged in.  That still didn't work so I logged out of my iCloud account in Message and logged back in, repaired, and it worked!
    This is what I did:
    1) Open Key Chain Access ( go to Applications>Utilities)
    2) Select Login at the top left side under Keychains
    3) Select All Items on the lower left side under Category
    4) Search for entries of IDS.
    5) Highlight and delete all entries that has IDS.
    6) Search for entries of FaceTime
    7) Highlight and delete all entries of FaceTime
    8) Search for entries of Messages (I also found entries containing Message (singular, not plural), but didn't delete these.)
    9) Highlight and delete all entries of Messages
    10) Reboot!
    11) Log back in and when requested log back into iCloud account (I got asked for the password multiple times)
    12) Log out of iCloud account in iMessage (Not sure if this is needed)
    13) Log back into iCloud account in iMessage.
    14) On iPhone in Settings/Messages/Text Message Forwarding turn off forwarding to my iMac.
    15) Turn Text Message Forwarding back on for my iMac (re-pairs and I entered the new number)
    16) Could send text messages from my iMac!!!!!
    But it was short lived.  One message was sent using SMS (that should have gone through using iMessage and then back to the same error message.  So I am back to square one.
