Manually sync Notes and Safari bookmarks via USB cable for iOS device and an iMac with MacOS 10.7 Lion and iTunes 11

"I'm aware that with MacOS 10.8 Mountain Lion there is no support for USB cable sync of iOS devices." Notes and Safari Bookmarks cannot longer be sync via USB cable with iTunes. For owners of iPhone 3G that cannot upgraded the device to a version higher than iOS 4.2, syncing Notes and Safari Bookmarks via usb cable with iTunes is the only option we have. There is no iCloud integration for Notes and Safari Bookmarks under iOS 4.2. I'm not updating to MacOS 10.8, because there is no way to sync Notes and Safari Bookmarks via cable. So I won't be able to sync those anymore unless I upgrade to a newer model of iPhone. I'm not into a new hardware investment, at least not for now. I just want to know if iTunes 11 running in MacOS 10.7 Lion still have the functionality of sync Notes and Safari Bookmarks via USB cable.

Mac OS 10.7.5 and iTunes 11.0.4.

Yes.
If you are sincing Notes via iCloud, iTunes will tell you so.
If you change the iDevice - Settings> iCloud > Notes - Off, they sync (or not sync) thru iTunes (either wifi or cable).
So my question now would be:
Is "Notes" manual sync checkbox option provided under "Others" in iTunes 11.0.1 with MacOS 10.7 Lion?
If you change the iDevice - Settings> iCloud > Notes - Off, then yes.

Syncing iCal, Address Book and Safari Bookmarks via AirPort Extreme?

Does anyone know of a way to keep iCal, Address Book and Safari Bookmarks in sync across three Macs that are connected via AirPort Extreme? I don't want to use MobilMe at this time.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
Frank

Hey, Lehmann:
You need a server to process the information being sent out by your Macs. The server is what will determine which machines need what information, and will initiate the transfer. The Airport Extreme can't be this server as it only contains the functionality of a router. Most developers opt to develop WAN-based syncing (ie, MobileMe, Exchange, etc.) because LAN would be covered under that umbrella, so it's two for the price of one (I also think syncing over WAN is more convenient and more often the desired solution).
I don't know of any LAN-based syncing solutions (ie, one that would turn one of your computers into the server to process the data and manage the syncing), but I can at least give you some of the tech language to help define what you're looking for and help your search.
Can I ask why you want to keep the syncing server local? Is it a security concern? I love MobileMe and would highly recommend it unless there is a need for military-level security.

Internet via USB Cable for the Touch ? !

Hey
is it possible to online trough the USB cable of the Ipod Touch ?

You have heard of 'Tethering' witch is only available on the iPhone but not in the US (thank you AT&T). That is only for using the iPhone to connect a computer to the internet. Sorry

Could not connect Nokia 6303i via USB cable to Win...

Hello guys in this forum
Hello driver development group
This is not a question for help, but more a question for sharing experiences. I recently bought a new Nokia 6303i, worked a little bit with it and finally I wanted to connect it to the PC to enter the contacts from my old phone with the computer keyboard instead of the phonebook keys.
Well, the installation sounded quite easy at a first glance: Download the Nokia OVI suite, connect the Nokia phone to the PC and go on. I did that way, but it just did not work.
The PC I'm using is an Acer laptop, Windows 7 64 Bit system, MS Office 2003, Visual Studio 2003/2005, Firefox, Thunderbird and VMWare Workstation, Comodo Firewall and free-av virus scanner installed. Nothing special, nothing I could not handle, especially no games or other special hardware drivers that could interfere -- most software is installed in virtual machines, so the main computer is rather "naked". I connected the phone to the PC in the "Mass storage mode" to get a drive letter, and installed the OVI suite from the SD card. Worked quite well, and finally I re-connected the phone to the Windows PC.
The phone was detected as "NOKIA" in the Windows explorer. I chose "PC Suite" on the phone and started the OVI suite - but nothing. OVI suite told me: "Detected device: NOKIA. Phone is not in PC Suite mode". Eeeh?!?
I tried it several times, but no chance. Although "PC Suite" was active on the phone, the phone was not recognized. Ok, I though, either a problem with the drivers or a hardware problem. So let's see what an older operating system would tell me. I switched on a Windows XP 32 Bit system in my VMWare virtualisation software and connected the phone. The phone connected but did not directly work. I had to use the "mass storage mode" setting to get a drive letter. I installed the OVI suite that was shipped on the SD card (which deleted itself from the SD card later -- baaad habit, I was hopelessly searching for it later on, but ok...). Then I disconnected the phone, reconnected, chose "PC suite mode" and... perfect, stable connection, OVI suite was working totally fine! So I disconnected the phone and closed the VMware machine again.
Ok, so a problem with Windows 7 64 bit. I deinstalled the OVI suite, downloaded the most recent version from the web which obviously was said to support Windows 7 64 bit, installed, reconnected the phone... nothing. Same situation as before.
I deinstalled OVI suite again and downloaded/installed the most recent version of PC suite -- which was said to contain all connectivity drivers including for Windows 7 64 bit. I connected the phone started PC suite and... well, phone detected, but used in "compatibility mode", although the "PC suite mode" was chosen on the phone. But ok, let's see what I can do in the compatibility mode. Full of hope I clicked on the "address book" in PC suite. The phone reacted, it said "PC suite mode activated". Hoping... Hoping... then it said again "PC suite mode activated". Eeh? It is already activated!?! 10 Seconds later: PC tolds me: "Phone could not be switched to PC suite mode. Shhhhh*t!
I googled as hell, and then I saw that I should use the PC suite cleaner before installing. Ok, PC suite deinstalled, PC suite cleaner used, PC suite reinstalled, phone connected... nothing, same behaviour.
Next tip I read: Install the connectivity driver manually. Ok, everything deinstalled (and I mean, everything! All components in the program list that were entitled to be from NOKIA: PC suite, the two drivers and something else I cannot remember). I downloaded the connectivity driver, connected the phone, phone was recognized as "NOKIA" like before. I installed PC suite again and... nothing. Same behaviour. Arrr*h!
The final tip that really helped: I read somewhere in the web that Windows 7 was using the wrong drivers. I took a look in the control panel, looked up the NOKIA phone in the device manager, took a look to the drivers, and indeed. The driver that Windows 7 was using was somehow from 2008!?! So that was an internal driver of Windows 7 and not the newly installed Windows 7 driver which I manually installed!
I clicked on the button "Update drivers" for the "NOKIA" phone and manually chose the connectivity drivers in the "C:\Program Files\NOKIA\Connectivity..." or-something-like-that folder. Suddenly the phone was re-recognized: "NOKIA phone USB parent". That was new!
But now, the PC suite on the PC did not recognize the phone at all andmore. Hmmm, a new look to the device manager revealed the reason: A couple of new devices were detected, but all with an exclamation mark. Drivers not found. But with a little bit of luck... I opened every such device in the device manager and told Windows to update the drivers. It asked me for a path where the drivers were saved, and here I just specified the path of the nokia connectivity drivers again (this "C:\Program Files\NOKIA\Connectivity..." or-something-like-that folder). That worked! Now I got one after the other the COM-port driver, OBEX and etc...
At the end I startet PC suite... whahoooo, it works! Phone connected and address book editable! Uff. Nice.
So a deep driver problem.
Then I did a near-mistake: I wanted to update the operating system on my NOKIA phone. I installed the phone update manager in Windows 7, left the PC suite, started the update manager and it immediately recognized the phone. I started it and in told me: "Do not touch the phone or anything", time 15 Minutes. I waited and waited and saw the phone screen disappearing, but ok. I saw the USB drivers being disconnected and trying to be reinstalled, but Windows did not recognize it. But I did not touch anything. Then, the Hiobs-message from the update manager: "Phone disconnected during update. Please swich on and reconnect". Whaaaaa?!?!?
Ok, disconnected the phone, switched off, switched on, reconnected. But Windows 7 did not recognize it correctly anymore. Some unknown devices in the device manager, only the "NOKIA phone USB parent" was still working correctly, and there was now an unknown device which I was not able to activate by specifying drivers manually (it was most likely a USB flash device what I figured out later). And the phone behaved strangely, sometimes crashing when hoovering through the menues... EEEhhh.....
Ok, emergency plan, phone nearly destroyed. I again turned on my VMware and connected the phone to the OVI software in the virtual Windows XP. Still worked fine. I clicked on the update menu item of OVI suite. OVI suite was detecting the phone software, downloaded the new version and started to update. Again it told me: Wait 15 minutes, do not touch anything. And I did. I saw Windows reconfiguring its hardware settings as new hardware was detected, and there were problems in installing a "USB flash device", but the software did not cancel. And finally: Update successful! Uff... I checked the phone (*#0000#), and it was ok. Uuuuh.
Then I switched off the virtual machine, conected the phone again to Windows 7, but there was still a driver problem. Most devices had an exclamation mark. I manually deinstalled all the NOKIA drivers in the device manager and actuivated the "Delete driver from system" checkbox whereever possible -- including the "NOKIA phone USB parent". I removed the phone from the USB cable and plugged it on again. Now windows re-recognized it as "NOKIA" phone, but again used its own internal -- wrong -- driver set. I switched the driver again as described above to the Nokia Connectivity drivers in the program folder, got again the "USB parent" and the unknown devices, manually specified the drivers for the unknown devices by using the path to the Connectivity drivers and finally I got the situation from before the update: Nokia PC suite running fine, I can access my contacts and do anything I like in Windows 7 64 bit.
That was a nightmare and took me about two days intensive research and testing. What a mess...
I hope I could help anyone of you with this when you have trouble installing the PC/OVI suite in Windows 7. And don't try to update the phone in Windows 7, it's dangerous at the moment!
Probably you guys from the driver development can take a more close look to Windows 7 64 bit and its own pre-installed drivers. Does anyone of you have similar experiences?
Best regards,
Mighty Knife

Uhm, I'm experiencing the same problem with some Linux relase. Unfortunately I was unable to solve the problem if not installing a windows emulator. Maybe you're already familiar with it, but it seems the only solution. Through google I found this, I hope I made you a favor.

Does anyone know if an Airport Extreme will support WevDav connections to a USB drive for iOS devices?

With the possible demise of iDisk I was wondering if anyone knew if a USB drive hanging off of an Airport Express can be accessed via a WebDav connection? I know that iCloud will get better, but it does not feel like it meets my needs for a file store and I wanted to possibly replicate something like iDisk with the TB drive I have on my AEBS.I know one answer would be to get a Mac Mini and simply run Lion Server, but Iam looking for a way to host files that can be accessible (and automagically sync'd between my MBP and then accessible by my iOS devices. No, I don't want to use DropBox.or pay for Box.net.

Sorry, but the AirPort Express will not support a USB drive, only a compatible USB printer.

For me, a time capsule is even safe when you have whatter damage op fire in your house. Am I wrong or is it just an additional HD like there are so maney with the only advantage that it goes automatically via your wifi for apple devices?

Jloe,
As I have posted before, You, and others having issues with Verizon would be much better off if you complained to the FCC and FTC as well as your Senators and Congressmen. We, as individuals, have such small voices - use them where they might do the most good.
Also, don't assume that Verizon doesn't monitor these postings, they actively do & sometimes contact those that post complaints.
Sorry for your problems. GC

You can use iCloud to sync your Safari bookmarks between your Mac and your iPad.
Instructions here > Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
Personally, I like the Wacom stylus for iPad > Amazon.com: Wacom Tech Corp. Bamboo Stylus for iPad/Tablets: Computers & Accessories
And try the accessibility features on your Mac. Open System Preferences > Accessibilty
Apple - Accessibility - OS X
I just noticeed on your other thread you mentioned that you've had your Mac for seven years so iCloud for syncing bookmarks may not be an option for you unless your Mac at the minimum is running v10.7.5 with at Safari 5.1.1. See, "Bookmarks" > System requirements for iCloud

Please don't shout! Using all uppercase means shouting on the internet. If your keyboard is stuck please say so, otherwise people will think you are being obnoxious.
Now the first question is, when you are saying connecting to personal hotspot, have you always been using the iPhone to connect to the internet? Are you someplace where the only place to connect is available via tethering to the iPhone's celluar network? Or do you have other options?

If I upgrade to Lion and migrate MobileMe to iCloud, can I still sync my 2nd generation iPod Touch to my MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo) via USB cable?

I am very reluctantly considering upgrading to Lion and going ahead and migrating MobileMe to iCloud before June 2012. If I upgrade and migrate, will I still be able to sync my 2nd generation iPod Touch via USB cable? Or will these changes force me to get a new iPod that can run iOS 5 because syncing will be nightmarish?

Thanks for your reply. I would prefer to keep using this iPod for a while yet. Cheers!

Sync mail from Outlook to iPhone via USB Cable

I have a problem by synchronizing my iPhone with my Outlook 2007.
I want to synchronize my Outlook mail, contacts and calendar by using iTunes.
I have set iTunes to synchronize via USB Cable and it works for the contacts and calendar but I can’t see my mail.
I assume the mail should be at the bottom “Mail” on my iPhone?
I have set iTunes to sync mail to Outlook but I can’t se anything
How do I set op iTunes to sync my mail to the phone?
Please help as I can only find answers for problems with Push server….
Thanks in advance:)

iTunes does not support syncing email account mailboxes and messages with an email client on your computer. The option under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes for email accounts is for transferring the email account settings from a supported application on your computer to the iPhone's Mail client only so you don't have to manually create the account.
If you want to keep mailboxes synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account, you need an IMAP account which is specifically designed for this.

Try a different FW800 cable and also try doing a SMC reset. If neither work try another FW800 device to see if it's recognized, if it is then you know it's not the Mac it's probably the EHD.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
