Macbook pro won't sync with Treo 650 via bluetooth.

I can only do one sync with Windows XP before the comm ports fail and I have to reboot the computer to be able to do a sync with my Treo 650 via bluetooth. It works well but only once then the ports all shut down of something. Any suggestions would be apprectiated.

Your signature says you have 10.3.x but presumably this can't be correct - could you please make sure it's correct to prevent confusion. 10.7.2 is required for iCloud - your Mac won't be able to sync with pre-Lion systems.
The fact that you have iCloud accounts showing does suggest you have Lion: are they showing in System Preferences>iCloud, or where? You can only enter one there.
Are the two different or the same? You could try deleting both and then starting the setup again from scratch.

MacBook Pro won't sync with other devices

My MacBook pro won't sync with other devices in the house. My iPad and iPhone sync OK but MacBook won't for some reason. Can you help?

Sign into your account in iTunes - from that page you should be able to deauthorise ALL 5 authorised computers - supposedly you can do this once a year.
Thereafter any devices you no longer have will be deauthorised, and you can reauthorise those you still have or are new.

My Macbook pro won't sync with my iPad. It says it isn't authorised. I have gone as far as deauthorizing all computers then authorizing the Macbook & still no luck. Any ideas?

Sorry, not sure how to screenshot on my computer, but this is what is says word for word:-
The Ipad could not b synced because the computer is not longer authorised for purchased items that are on this ipad.
To authorise this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store>Authorise this computer.
I have done all of that but not luck. That's when I tried deauthorising all computer which it did ok. I then authorised my Macbook pro again, it said I had one computer now authorised. I tried to delete apps via Itunes then sync to my iPad, but the above message keeps popping up & it wont do what I want.

MacBook Pro won't sync with iCloud, although iPhone and iPad are fine.

My MacBook Pro keeps telling me it can't sync with iCloud because my password may be incorrect. I keep re-entering the correct password, but this keeps on happening. iCloud seems to be working fine with iPhone and iPad. Also, there are 2 iCloud accounts showing on my MacBook, but if I try to delete one, it seems to delete both.

MacBook Pro won't sync with iPhone but iPhone does

Since upgrading MacBook Pro to OS X Yosemite and each of iPhone and iPad to iOS 8.1.2, whilst appointments made on iPhone and iPad appear on Calendar in MacBook Pro, those made on MacBook Pro don't appear in Calendars on my iPhone and iPad. Tried iTunes sync with cable, WiFi while connected to power, have read Forums, etc but no luck. Effectively "One way sync" only. Has any one else experienced and rectified this issue??

Macbook Pro won't connect to Android Phone via Bluetooth (Tether)

I am trying to set up the "Tether" app that will turn my Android phone into a wifi hotspot. I have a Macbook Pro running 10.7.3.
I've done everything suggested in the Tether setup, for using an Android Phone with a Macbook.
Problem seems to be with Bluetooth. Using the Bluetooth setup assistant, I am able to successfully pair the computer and phone, or so it seems. The phone shows the pair, and the computer says yay, we're paired.
However when I exit the assistant, the phone is shown as "not connected" in the list of connected Bluetooth Devices.
I see from searching forums that there have been similar Bluetooth connectivity issues with audio devices such as speakers.
Has anyone been able to successfully troubleshoot?
Has anyone set up Tether successfully with a Macbook and Android phone? I have a Samsung Nexus S 4G. Yeah I know, time for an iphone. As soon as the contract is up in June.

I don't think you have to change anything on your home network. It is your MBP that is confused - it appears your computer is trying to connect to the network at your mother's place.
I suggest you go to System Preferences / Network and delete all the networks. (Select the name on the left and click -)
Then restart the computer and setup the network connection as if for the first time. You can use the Assistant to guide you.
(All of the above assumes you are running Yosemite. The details with older OS may be different, but the basic idea is the same for any OS.)

Macbook Pro won't boot with external HDD plugged

I have a weird problem. My late 2008 Macbook Pro won't start with external HDD plugged either FW or USB... The screen stays white until I unplug it and then the Apple logo is there.
Anyone know any solution for this? Or anyone have the same problem

yeah I had the exact same issue with one of my 750GB externals too. I just left it for a while (about an hour or so) and it was fine..
I believe its so slow because the system is indexing the drive, which can be a very slow process if the drive is big, has a complex folder-hierarchy, and/or is fragmented.
Does the hard-drive appear quite quickly in Finder once OS X has started up? if its slow it may confirm what I've just said.

Calendar on Macbook Pro won't synch with iCloud

Calendar on my Macbook Pro won't synch with the Calendar on iCloud. I tried a number of times to delete Calendar from iCloud in System Preferences then restart the laptop. I also switched the 'enable' function on and off in Calendar Preferences. I restarted after every attempt and also refreshed. It looks as if it's updating but then nothing happens and the triangular, exclamation mark appears, grayed out, next to the iCloud icon in Calendar. I saw an answer in the Apple Support troubleshooting section regarding this about the server having to access port 80 or 443. Could this be the problem and if so then how would I make any port accessible to the relevant server? I'm not having this problem with my other devices or computer.

Hello Wateru,
Thank you for providing the details of the calendar issue you are experiencing with your MacBook Pro. You have taken some really good troubleshooting steps already. I recommend continuing with the steps in the sections titled "General troubleshooting" and "Troubleshooting on OS X" in the following article:

My Macbook Pro won't print with my HP Photosmart 7515. I get the following message, " Print file was not accepted" Printer does work with our PC??

My Macbook Pro won't print with my HP Photosmart 7515. I get the following message, " Print file was not accepted" Printer does work with our PC?? Checked for software updates and are none. Talked with HP help and they say it's an Apple problem

I noticed that you said you uninstalled the printer, but you didn't mention resetting the print system. Resetting the print system will reset the drivers the Mac has installed and make them work like they should. Give this a try and see if it gets the printer working like it should. The document below will expalin more about doing this.
Basic Printer Troubleshooting Steps for Mac
If that doesn't help, see if you are using the AirPrint driver, or the printers driver. By default 10.8 uses the AirPrint driver if the printer supports it, so I'm betting that's the driver you're using. If it is, try using the driver for the printer itself. To do this, access Print and Scan. Click the + sign to add a new printer. Select the printer from the list. Click the dropdown next to Use and select the 7515's driver. Let me know what happens.

Macbook pro won't boot with two new 4GB RAM sticks.

I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro. It came with two 2GB RAM sticks. After downloading Lion, my computer started to get sluggish so I thought I would upgrade the ram. I bought two 4GB Corsair RAM sticks and tried to install them. My computer will boot up if I install one of the new 4GB sticks and leave an old 2GB stick; but it won't boot with both of the new 4GB sticks. Any ideas?

Contacts created on iPhone won't sync with exchange, only via USB

When I create a new contact on my iPhone from within the phone app, it doesn't get synced to my exchange server, in fact it doesn't show up anywhere in the contacts app or under contacts in the phone app. If I create a new contact from the contacts app it only allows me to create it in my exchange contacts folder but it does sync properly. When I create a contact from within the phone app I am not given a choice of group at all and unless I have a recent call from that contact, it is nowhere to be found on my phone or computer. So the question is how do I get new contacts created on my phone from within the phone app to sync with exchange? The only way I have been able to sync contacts created within the phone app thus far has been with iTunes via USB which works fine but I want to sync contacts bidirectionally via exchange ota.
Thanks for any help

I have more information to share.
When you launch the Contacts app on the iPhone, hit the "Groups" button in the top left. What I see on that page are these 3 sections:
All Contacts >
From My Mac
All From My Mac >
Group A >
Group B >
Group C >
etc
Foobar (Exchange)
Foobar Global Address List >
After many hours of trial and error, I have come to the understanding that the iPhone Contacts app has potentially multiple data stores which seem to correspond to each sync source configured (eg AddressBook, Exchange, etc.) Refering to my example above, I have enabled Contacts syncing with my AddressBook (via iTunes) and an Exchange mail account, so my iPhone shows 2 separate sections with the generic "All Contacts" appearing as the first section at the top.
Entering the contact listings page via the "All Contacts" button will show an integrated list of contacts from all sync sources (in my case, two: contacts from AddressBook on my Mac and contacts from my Foobar Exchange account).
If you click the "+" button to add a new contact when you have entered the listing page via "All Contacts", it seems the record is only stored on the iPhone and does NOT get sync'd. Specifically, it does not get synced to the Mac AddressBook nor to the Exchange account.
However, if you have entered the listings page via any group in the "From My Mac" section or "Foobar (Exchange)" section, and create a new contact via the "+" button there, that contact DOES get sync'd to the appropriate sync source (AddressBook or Exchange in my case).
Furthermore, if you enter the listings page via a specific group in the "From My Mac" section (eg "Group A") and create a new contact from in there, it will appear in "Group A" in AddressBook after sync. If you enter the listings page via the generic "All From My Mac" button, then the new contact will be added to whatever group you have specified in iTunes (under the iPhone Info tab etc. as mentioned in the prior post).
All up, I guess, there may not be a bug here after all. I must simply always remember to add new contacts when I am in the "All From My Mac" section, if I want them to be synced to my Mac.
However, I do think that it's a confusing and poor user experience (and may lead to loss of data) if you add new contacts from the generic "All Contacts" entry point, because they will NOT be synced as you'd expect them to. I am guessing this also might only happen when you have multiple sync sources defined, simply because the app doesn't know which sync source to associate them with: AddressBook or Exchange? But, at the point of adding that new contact, the app should prompt you for the sync source to use, or at least WARN you that your contact is going to be an orphan record solely residing forever more on your iPhone. If you ever reset your iPhone those contact records would be lost forever.

Calendar on my MacBook Pro won't sync events with my iOS devices via iCloud.

I have a MacBook Pro 13" (non-retina) running OS X Mountain Lion, and an iPad 3 and iPhone 4S running iOS 6.1.3.
I recently created some events in Calendar on my Mac, and later wanted to edit them on my iPad.
The event didn't show up on my iPad, so I tried my iPhone.
Neither worked out, and I assumed it was my Internet connection.
Later, my iOS devices still wouldn't get the events from my MacBook.
I made sure all my devices were logged into iCloud with the same account and the calendar synchronization was enabled.
Still nothing worked!
How can I get my events to sync?

Be sure that the calendar on the mac is in the "icloud" group and not "on my mac". Calendars "on my mac" do not sync with icloud.

HT2513 i cal on macbook pro no longer syncs with iphone

i used to be able to sync i-cal on my macbook pro laptop with my iphone without a problem. i changed the setting on my iphone to sync on the cloud. i later reverted to the original settings after i found out that my laptop won't support cloud settings. now the calendars won't sync. i've checked the settings on both. any suggestions?? thanks.

Hi CaptDavid,
The good news... or rather the peace of mind news... is that Applecare doesn't cover software. So your coverage would have no bearing on the issue at hand. But that's besides the point. Let's try a couple of things:
1.) When you go to Me.com and login, everything works just fine and everything looks ok?
2.) Do you own an iPhone or iPod Touch? If so, can you sync to MobileMe with them? If not, do you own another computer? Even if it's a PC... can you sync with MobileMe?
3.) If you make a new user account on the computer and configure that account to sync with your MobileMe information, does that work?
4.) Have you reset Sync History via iSync? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1497
Here are two other supporting articles:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1865
5.) You can use MobileMe's chat support, as a member, for some assistance. If they're unable to resolve your issue they'd probably then refer you into an Apple Retail Store or over the phone support with Applecare. As your coverage has recently expired, you might be subject to a $49 support agreement over the phone but you'd get a free Genius Bar appointment for the issue. Perhaps you can convince the Applecare phone agent that you just worked with Mobile Me support and they were unable to resolve your issue (if they can't and refer you to call Applecare). Heck, it's worth a shot.
