Mountain Lion not syncing reminders or messages from iPhone.

Any one else having this problem? All the reminders that have shown up on my Macbook are all months old. Nothing is syncing....
Messages isn't syncing either.
All settings are turned on under iCloud on my phone.
please help?

Firstly go to Settings/iCloud  on the iphone and just check that the individual apps are switched on to sync.
If they are, then on the Mac, go to System Preferences/Mail, Contacts and Calendars and click on iCloud in the left column. Deleselect the service not working, then reselect it.
If that doesn't work, just reset iCloud on the Mac. Go to System Preferences/iCloud and log out and back in again. When you log out you will be asked if you want to keep a copy on your Mac. If you do, when you log back in again, you will have a listing of things on iCloud and another under it in On My Mac. I don't like the double listing, so always select remove from Mac. Everything on iCloud will be redownloaded onto the Mac again when you log back into iCloud.
Failing that, then the issue is most likely on the iphone. Try a restart of the phone, then if that doesn't work log out of iCloud on it and back in again. Never had to do that though to get things syncing.

  • IMessages in mountain lion not syncing with both mac and iPhone. Why?

    I either get someones imessage on my iphone or my mac, but not the same message on both. Anyone know why? I thought iMessage was supposed to "pick off where you left off... on all devices."

    I see now. OK, I do think I messed up the settings a bit. I have a @mac.com and a @me.com address with the same name. My Apple ID uses my @mac.com address, but I set up the Messages app on 10.8 to use my @me.com.
    I tried switching over to @me a while back because I wanted to reserve the Messages for close friends and family only. Now I see there is no way to turn off the "reached at" address for my main Apple ID @mac.com account. I'd prefer to use ONLY the @me (which is not my Apple ID), but Im guessing this is not possible.

  • HT1766 4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.

    4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • Mountain lion, notes sync, and .me

    Hi guys,
    I still feel like this iCloud / apple ID / .me thing is a big mess. I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and in the preference pane that opens upon install for ML, it says "Choose an iCloud email address to use Notes with iCloud". I already have a .me address, but it just tells me that it's already in use and asks me to pick another name. Why is no option available to use the existing one?
    So confusing...
    Denis from Toronto

    Yep - I did instore with the Apple Genius. But I'm finding it really messy anyway. i.e. I have a gmail apple ID and the .me apple ID. I still have to log-on with the GMail ID for Apple Store, .me into the iCloud, GMail in iTunes, it's just annoying.
    There's also another bug with ML App store where I keep getting "You have 3 apps to accept" (garageband, imovie, iphoto), once I put in my apple ID password, it says I already accepted them but the message doesn't go away.  Bah, common Apple. They should really have one unified place for everything: App Store, iTunes, iCloud, should all be one thing.

  • Does Mountain Lion Server sync Notes and Reminders?

    I'm thinking of upgrading a server and wanted to know if Mountain Lion would sync Notes and Reminders like iCloud does in Mountain Lion? I'd like to stay out of the "Cloud" as much as possible... "Cloud" just means "someone else's servers" and since we have our own, why in the world would we use someone else's when we can use our own.... if we can (and then there's the entire issue of privacy, but I digress).
    Thanks,
    -Werner

    Open the notes application on your phone.  On the top left of the screen select "Accounts." Your notes have probably been saved to the folder "on my iphone." In order for them to sync with your other devices you need to copy your notes from the folder "on my iphone" to "icloud"
    Hope this helps!

  • My 3G unlocked iPhone is not syncing mail or contacts from my mac book pro, using Lion. I am able to get a calendars and music, only. I get the message that I need to reset the password which I have done 3x's on the phone and on the Apple server.

    My 3G unlocked iPhone is not syncing mail or contacts from my mac book pro, using Lion. I am able to get a calendars and music, only. I get the message that I need to reset the password which I have done 3x's on the phone and on the Apple server.

    Good to know that, but what can I do to get the mail and contacts downloaded from Icloud onto my Iphone?  I am told that the password needs to be reset and I have erased and reset it 3x's already? Should I Restore All Settings or Restore Network Settings or will that result in a situation where I have to have it re-unlocked again? GRACIAS!

  • Does OS X Mountain Lion not include MPI (Message Passing Interface)?

    Hi,
    Does OS X Mountain Lion not include MPI (Message Passing Interface) as Lion did? I need that to compile CUDA 5.0 examples.
    I'm running Mountain Lion 10.8 without any updates yet.

    I take this statment from the link I posted
    Note: Unlike most UNIX-based operating systems, OS X does not use a preallocated disk partition for the backing store. Instead, it uses all of the available space on the machine’s boot partition.
    to basically mean it's limited only by the disk space.
    There is also this:
    Both OS X and iOS include a fully-integrated virtual memory system that you cannot turn off; it is always on. Both systems also provide up to 4 gigabytes of addressable space per 32-bit process. In addition, OS X provides approximately 18 exabytes of addressable space for 64-bit processes. Even for computers that have 4 or more gigabytes of RAM available, the system rarely dedicates this much RAM to a single process.
    To give processes access to their entire 4 gigabyte or 18 exabyte address space, OS X uses the hard disk to hold data that is not currently in use. As memory gets full, sections of memory that are not being used are written to disk to make room for data that is needed now. The portion of the disk that stores the unused data is known as the backing store because it provides the backup storage for main memory.

    If you can download the ML installer you can make a bootable install media by using:
    http://liondiskmaker.com/
    If your Mini came with ML you can also boot to Internet Recovery
    OS X: About OS X Recovery
    and it will install ML. Make sure you boot to Internet Recovery and not the Recovery Partition. If to the partition you will only get Mavericks.

    The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
    Power down.  Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore. 
    No trouble at all once I did this.
    Hope it helps.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Mountain Lion is a 64-bit operating system, and an Intel Core Duo processor is only 32-bit, so you can't use Mountain Lion on your Mac. You can keep using your actual OS X version or buy a new Mac if you want Mountain Lion

  • When trying to install Mountain Lion I get an error message, Failed, recovery can't be created

    When trying to install Mountain Lion I get an error message, Failed, recovery can't be created

    My Mountain Lion install failed for the following reason:
    OS X can't be installed on the disk Macintosh HD, because a recovery system can't be created.
    The message went on:
    Visit www.apple.com/support/no-recovery to learn more.
    The page is about a different failure, but I'm assuming the reason for my failure is this one:
    The disk has a non-standard Boot Camp partition setup, in which further partitioning was performed after running Boot Camp Assistant, or the configuration that Boot Camp Assistant created was manually modified.
    The cure involves erasing the entire HD and starting from scratch, which in my case would involve backing up both the Mac and Windows sides, setting up Boot Camp again, reinstalling Windows XP and recovering everything from backups on both sides. I would rather not have Mountain Lion than go through all that, and I think it's unfair for Apple to expect me to.
    Because I don't recall doing anything off-piste when I set up Boot Camp in the first place (for a start, I'm not clever enough), I consider this episode an inadequacy in the Mountain Lion installer. As I won't be using the download, is it possible to get my money back?

  • My iPhone 4s will not sync a changed playlist from itunes unless i turn off music match. Shouldn't I be able to use a playlist and music match at the same time?

    my iPhone 4s will not sync a changed playlist from itunes unless i turn off music match. Shouldn't I be able to use a playlist and music match at the same time?

    It's not entirely impossible actually as someone has pointed out to me that I can turn on Call Forwarding and that stops any incoming calls. I've just forwarded it to my google voice number and then turned on "do not disturb" in google voice and whenever I get a call it goes straight to my google voice voicemail and my phone does nothing. The only thing now is I still get text messages but I think the phone calls bugged me more because they would make my music turn off for much longer.
    Even though this isn't a perfect solution it's something so far so maybe you shouldn't just come out and say there's NOTHING I can do because so far I've found part of a solution. If you don't have anyting productive to say then just don't reply and close the tab. Thanks.
    At this point I'm wondering if anyone knows of any Jailbreak tweaks that can enable what I want. Unless of course it's agaisnt the rules of this forum to mention jailbreak stuff...
