My apps wont sync between devices
Good morning All;
Is anyone having trouble with Apps not syncing after install or removing between all devices?
I have an IMac, Two IPhones and Two IPad 2 devices.
I am finding that when I add/delete an app to/from one device that I have to manually go and add/delete them to/from the others.
They used to all/delete from all if added/deledted from one?
Thanks Mark

I have set up i cloud but my calendars wont sync between MacBook, Ipad and iPhone. Is there a refresh style option or does anyone know what to do to make sure the calendar on my MacBook is the one that the other devices reads. Thanks everyone.
Don't spend a lot of time trying to change it. It's an iCloud problem that's happened before, and when it happened in August it went back to the correct colors in a few days. Just be careful when you add new items to the calendar to use the right calendar (even if the color is wrong), otherwise you'll have things out of synch when the correct colors come back.

Will I be able to disable the automatic icloud sync between devices?
What I want to know from looking at the keynote speech it looks like if I buy a song on my phone or ipad it will also get downloaded to my son's iphone even though he may not want the sond and vice versa. I hope there will be a way to disable the automatic sync between devices because in theory it sounds good but when you have several ios devices in the family they usually don't want to have the same music that I listen too. I have a MBA, Iphon4, and Ipad and would not mind all of them syncing together but my son's iphon 3GS does not need to be synced with the other devices. I didn't hear anything about being able to disable it and if someone knows can they let the rest of us know. Thanks.

Yes you can disable it. Also since it's free for all of those services, and you want different content on your devices, you could just setup an Apple ID for your son so that their content will be synced among their devices and you can still benefit from all the iCloud goodness. The only downfall to this is that the content that you may want to share would have to be purchased twice. I'm hoping they add support for "Family Groups" for iCloud services so you can have a shared Apple ID for content on up to 10 devices while also giving the flexibility for having sub-ID's to differentiate who's devices are who's.
That is exactly what I am talking about. I know you can share your purchases through several devices and some of the app store stuff my son and I share with no problem. I just hope that sharing is ok. Also using picture flow could be bad too. What if I want to take a picture that I don't want on any other device. This is all good but sounds like they didn't think this through all the way before implementing it. I am a mobileme subscriber and have been for 2 years and I liked iDisk. There was nothing wrong with the way it worked as I could set up iDisk only on my devices and my son's would not be affected. Like I said good idea but for some of us we may not want stuff out on the cloud automatically.
Also I can see some folks up in arms about privacy issues just like they did with the tracking issue. I am thinking I will turn this service off on all my devices until I get more information about it after it is implemented. -
Game progress not being synced between devices
I have an iPad 2 and iPhone 5 (iOS 6.1.3) and my game progress isn't being synced between devices. Both use the same Game Centre account and I have iCloud correctly set up on both devices. I do understand that some games don't support this feature but I have many games that definitely do yet they still don't sync. I did notice games that save data in the "Documents & Data" section do actually sync my progress between devices, but games like Cut the Rope, Where's my Water etc don't. I've tried searching online to find a fix for this issue but I can't find anything. Hopefully someone here has experienced the same thing and might be able to help, any help would be very much appreciated.

Are all games supposed to save data there?
Only the games that are compatible. Most aren't
That is why I referred you to their support. It can be happening by connecting to itunes, by connecting to game server, by connecting to Facebook, all depends on particulars of that game.

How often iCloud sync between devices takes place?
Previously on Mobile Me, sync between devices (of contacts, bookmarks, etc...) was automatic and there was an option to trigger a sync manually. The automatic mode was very fast, and updates would occur in a matter of a minute or less.
With iCloud I can't find an option to intiate a sync. And automatic sync seems to take ages, sometimes hours.
It can cause problems, for example, I go out to an important meeting and I update the meeting address on my mac's calendar. Then on the way to the meeting I refer to my iPhone to check the details, but 15-30 minutes later they are still not there.
Does anyone else experience this slowness in updating, and has anyone found a way to force a sync?
thanks!To refresh on Mac iCal: View > Refresh all (see screen shot).
To refresh on iOS devices I find that to quit and reboot the app usually speeds things up (double tap home button > press and hold app in question > tap red minus that appears > then reopen from home screen). -
Updated devices to iOS 7, noteworthy my notes won't sync between devices
Please help. My iMessage and apps have synced between my iPhone 5, and my iPad 3. But my notes which used to sync between my phone and iPad on iOS 6 no longer do. (Both devices on iOS 7.)
Thanks!Have you checked that note syncing is still on at settings > iCloud on both devices.
Do you know if either device is syncing with iCloud, you can check this at iCloud.com. -
Is it just me or as the syncing between devices using the Messages app? Noticed today when I was chatting with a contact on the beta version on my Mac but the only time it would display a heads-up on either my iPhone or iPad was when I was in full screen on another app. Lucky fluke or what?
PS: Also have to say it was very "random" which iOS device displayed a message alert (meaning, if the iPad displayed a message the iphone/mac didn't and vice-versa but it's not like I was personally using it but in standby so take it for what you will).Hi,
In Messages Beta what is displayed in the "History" of a conversation is based on what has been synced to that device or app.
Historically iChat could Save Transcripts and placed them in a folder called iChats in the Documents Folder.
In Messages Beta this is done automatically with no intervention by the Users.
This also happens for iMessages as well as for iChat style chats via Buddy Lists.
Messages also stores some details about iMessage chats in ~/Library/Messages which you can only see when you use the Finder > Go Menu and hold the ALT key to access the Library.
Whilst the "Best" syncing can be achieved by clearing all Messages held on the iPhone or iPad prior to adding the Apple ID to be used and changing the Settings > Messages > Received At > Caller ID to the Apple ID it is then obvious that the User has little input when the sync does not work properly. (there is little if anything they can change on the iOS or Message Beta that will influence this)
Currently in the beta you can clear the chat window but any further chats with a contact or Buddy that you have spoken to before fill in the Chat window with a "History"
With iMessages these go back to the first chat with that Contact after Messages was Installed and Activated to the Apple ID.
Most people that posted about this seemed to indicate that they did not like it.
As iChat Saved Transcripts only at the User's request before it would seem for the full Mountain Lion one that some control is likely to return.
Some of this will be based on what is synced and how long it is kept ready for syncing to devices that happen to be Off Line.
People have also reported delayed iMessages and Syncing issue around switching devices mid conversation and having the beta try to fill in a "history" at the same time.
These are likely to get resolved in the full version but it is also likely to take some changes at the server end.
For instance someone may send you a pic on an iMessage that you pick up on your iPhone
You might want to keep the pic but would rather do so on your Mac.
At present the working assumption by Apple appears to be that all iOS devices and Messages Beta are on at the same time.
Not everyone works like this and many turn their Computer Off when they are away from it for long periods.
This can lead to syncing issues with the beta as iMessages can then get mixed up.
There is also no proper Off Line IM process at present to cope with the way people actually use their devices.
If Messages Beta is not working properly one thing that could be done (Can be done if you kept the .dmg) is to Uninstall back to iChat and then Reinstall.
As the Download has been withdrawn this option is no longer available.
Although we cannot be certain exactly how Apple will change Messages in the full release the experience of what has been changed over the years and what happened with the iChat 2 beta do point to the things that people have been shouting loudly about are the things that get changed.
AS these centre around Syncing, iMessages and the "History" showing up and much of this is Server end led then changes are likely to take place before the Full release.
Hence we may experience issues with Messages beta in these areas.
As we cannot change anything in the apps themselves that may improve things trying to re-establish the link to a specific Apple ID may be the best we can try.

You can only sync with one ITunes library. It you switch iTunes library iTunes will erase the iPod and replace it contents with what is in the library of the new computer. -

I made a photo book in iPhoto and would like to transfer the book to my iPhoto on other macs and iPad. How is this done and can it be synced between devices like photo stream?
You can create a Quicktime movie slideshow of the book's pages and share that. Here's how to get your book into an iPhoto slideshow and then export as a Quicktime video:
1 - While viewing the book type Command+P to start the print process.
2 - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
Note: If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
3 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
4 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto. Immediately select all of the photos in the new album and sequentially renumber them as "Page " using the Batch Change ➙ Title to Text with the option to add a sequential number to each title. This is to let you put the pages back in the correct order in the event they get sorted incorrectly.
Now you can proceed as follows: create the slideshow in iPhoto and export it out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large (480p with iPhoto 9),

Sent mail does not sync between devices
My sent mail does not sync between devices. For example, if I send an email from my Iphone it does not show in my sent box on the MAC mail (postage stamp). If I send mail from MAC mail it does not show on my phone. But if I go to Yahoo (mail) I can see all sent mail.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a setting that allows them to snch sent mail??From reports on this site, Yahoo mail doesn't work reliably with Mail. The following steps may help.
Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results. -
Ibooks pdfs do not sync between devices?
Is Ibooks supposed to sync between devices?
Is this really the case? I'm getting more and more disenchanted with my iPad. It's implied in all the advertising that iCloud will 'magically' make sure everything stays synched between your devices. But is it actually true that the pdfs I have saved in a collection on my iPad (which were downloaded from any old website), will not sync to my mac at all? How is this helpful in any way? I've got 'sync all books' selected in itunes on the mac, and 'sync collections' selected in the settings on all my devices.
Edited to add: they don't sync over iCloud or when i have the iPad connected by cable, if that was not clear.
Quite frankly, this is rubbish and in my opinion, blatant false advertising. Is there some annoyingly cumbersome workaround I can use?? -
Notification centre sync between devices
I seem to remember that when iOS 7 was announced that notification centre would sync between devices via iCloud and if a notification was marked as read on one device it would do so on all devices. This clearly isn't happening at the moment. Is this because it hasn't been switched on yet or has it just been quietly pulled from the feature set?
Is it working for anyone else?The notifications at the top of my iPad are going away when I dismiss on my iphone but the badges are not going away likewise for unread emails. I get home from work and my iPad has a bunch of unread emails. Sometimes there is no words with friends notification on my iPad but there is on my iphone even before I address it on either device. I had a chat Friday night with an apple support person and was told the servers are overloaded. Perhaps Apple should stagger updates the way Google does.

Does anyone know of a simple to do list app that syncs between an iPhone and a Mac?
Not sure exactly what you are going for...
You're aware you need to use iTunes to sync apps between your iPhone and Mac unless you are running V10.7.2 and have iCloud setup.
BTW... apps that are optimized for an iPhone will not run on the Mac OS X and vice versai, two different operating systems.
It really helps to tell us which Mac OS X you have installed when you post for help. Thanks!
