My ical is not syncing properly between my ipad and imac

Since the latest itunes update, the sync between my ipad and imac isn't working properly - when I have checked in the Info section of the Ipad sync bit in itunes, it says that ical and contacts are syncing with icloud - I don't want this and used to specifiy not. It's important for me to sync the contacts and calendar exactly between my 2 devices, as it used to be.
Can anyone help, please?
Thanks, Caroline

Sign out of iMessage on both devices, then sign back in.

How do i sync numbers between my ipad and imac. i dont even know how to do this via itunes

Hi,
i just downloaded numbers to my ipda, thinking that as i use it on my mac, i would be able to use it on my ipad, and that the lates version would be saved automatically, however i have no idea how to sync the numbers on both devices

Thanks, I've reset it a lot, but nothing changes. I can get the iPhone and the iPad to talk with each other, I want to have the iMac in the loop.
I got a note on another forum to change the "Send & Receive" setting. I now have 2 Addresses - my cell phone and my email. I'm hoping that will work. When DH gets home I'll have him test it.

All of the Appoints in my calendar do not sync properly between my MAC and iPad

it is really frustrating - some (with no rhyme nor reason) of my appts that I book into the calendar function on my iPad do not then sync across to my MAC Air.
Does anyone know of a solution? Or what might be causing it?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
There may be a variety of reasons for this, such as different page set ups or fonts being substituted.

Ical will not sync properly across macbook iCloud and i phone. when i put in an appointment on iPhone it changes time in i cloud. for example when i put in a 4:00pm apt on iPhone, iCloud creates a 1pm apt

please help

A couple of things to check include going to icloud.com, sign into your iCloud account, click your name at the top and choose Account Settings, click Time Zone and be sure it shows the correct time zone and that you have selected a city near you. Then open your calendar on icloud.com, click the gear-shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, click the Advanced tab and make sure you have not checked time zone support at the top.
On your iOS devices, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Time Zone Support (in the Calendars section) and make sure this is set to Off. On your Mac, open the Calendar app and to to Mail>Preferences>Advances and uncheck “Turn on time zone support”.

How come my imsg is not syncing properly between iPod touch and Macbook pro?

My imsgs are recieved on my macbook and they used to be simultaneously sent to my ipod too. But now they don't show up as imsg notifications on my ipod, only macbook. When I click in the conversation on my ipod I see the new messages, but I only get a notification on my macbook. How do I fix this so that a notification pops up on both devices?

ITunes not syncing properly between machines and devices

My setup used to work just fine before the updates to syncing, now it is just a big mess.
Before:
iTunes install on my Mac tied to my iPad used primarily for video content and video podcasts.
iTunes install on my Windows machine tied to iPod/iPhone used primarly for audio content and audio podcasts.
Each one was in it's own little world and everything just worked.
Now:
Both iTunes installs are getting the full list of podcasts from each other and their devices, so my audio podcasts are now showing up on the Mac and video podcasts are showin up in Windows. I don't really care that is happening, but the watched/played status is not updating properly across the board. For example, if I watch or listen to a podcast that status is not updating everywhere. Worst case is that on some occasions, items that I have already watched/played are reverting back to unwatched/unplayed status.
Is there a way to get syncing working properly, or do I just need to turn all of those options off and go back to just direct syncing between machine and device?

Jason,
Thanks for your response. I am using Exchange and syncing over-the-air, not using iTunes. As you suggested, I deleted the Exchange account and then set it up again - but that did not work. HOWEVER - observations that I made while doing what you suggested led me down another path, and I was able to solve my problem! So - thanks!
In case anyone else has this problem, here is what my problem was and I how I figured it out (I hope someone finds it useful).
My problem was not an iPhone-to-Exchange sync problem, rather it turned out to be an Entourage-to-Exchange sync problem with the calendar. Turns my entourage calendar folder cache was messed up and had to be "emptied". I found this article that helped me do that: http://www.helpdesk.ilstu.edu/kb/index.phtml?kbid=1453
How I discovered the solution:
As I said, my problem was that calendar items edited or created on the iPhone were not showing up in my calendar when viewed from Entourage. When I deleted the exchange account from my iPhone, the calendar items that were (as far as I knew) ONLY on the iPhone and had not been sync-ed to exchange should have been lost forever. When I put exchange back on the iPhone - those item showed up again. So either the database on the iPhone didn't get erased when I deleted the account or those items REALLY WERE in exchange all along. So, I used Outlook Web Access to view my calendar items in exchange by bypassing entourage - and sure enough, they WERE there all along. That isolated the problem to Entourage and once I figured that out the solution was pretty easy to find.

Mail not syncing - different between Mac, iPhone and Cloud

Thought I had moved to the Cloud, but having major issues having all of my mail be the same in all 3 places - Macbook, iPhone and Cloud website. Things I have sent from my Mac do not even show being on there, and certainly not in phone, but are on Cloud. What is the best way to check that I have this set up correctly, so I can have access to mail where ever I go, for you know, work stuff.
Mac is running Lion 10.7.2, and iPhone is updated to OS5.
Thanks for the help.

Unfortunately from one point of view, I have only had one issue with iCloud which related to corrupt iWork documents, so I'm not able to draw on personal experience at solving issues like yours, I'm just drawing on other users experiences here. Out of interest did you create a brand new iCloud account or migrate from a mm account.

Sync problems between iOS devices and iMac desktop

Hi Folks,
I am having an odd prolem which has started to cause me some concerns with possible lost contacts. I have been adding contacts normally using my iPhone especially when out and about. Sometimes to make the typing a bit easier I have done it in a web browser into iCloud or on my desktop iMac. All sounds normal right ?
Having been searching for some contacts I have suddenly been unable to find them, weird - I am sure I put that guy in there a few days ago. Ok so look in the iPhone contacts and its there, look on the ipad and its there, but in the web access icould it not. Stuff entered on the iphone or ipad do sync to ech other, but apparently somehow bypassing the web accessed icloud.
Dig a bit deeper and find that about 300 out of 3500 contacts are not in all places.
Contacts added on the iphone are in the ipad and vice versa, but they arent on the icloud web or in the iMac on my desk.
Has anybody got any ideas whats going on here ? I do knwo that I often see at the foot of a contact in the iphone LINKED contacts that have all the same details.
Can somebody please xplain what all these different data sets are and how can I get them all merged into one set and have that data everywhere ??
Any advice much appreciated
Thank you !

On the iMac open iCal.
From the menu bar click iCal > Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
Select iCloud on the left under Accounts.
Make sure: Enable this account is selected
And select Push from the pop up menu next to: Referesh Calendars
Now reset your iOS devices.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

ToDo app not syncing with iCloud to iPad and iPhone

I have the Appigo ToDo app on my ipad and was synching it successfuly with my Mac iCal reminders. Prefering to use ToDo i have now installed it on my Mac and on my iPhone but it won't sych them together via the iCloud as promised. Using the 'advanced' tab i managed to get all the info onto all three devices but when i change something on one device - its doesn't change on the others. I have followed the instructions and repeated them - is there something i am missing?

@geands - Did you ever get a fix?
mine is the same after working fine for months - now they are all different! argh!
have reset them all - even though I fear losing stuff.
I'm going to try going back to a local network connection to sync - will keep you posted.

HT2729 Video syncing issues between new IPad and Macbook

I used my new IPad to film some videos for about three months. Today, I connected my IPad to my Macbook in an attempt to upload the IPad videos to my Macbook ITunes. Unfortunately, the IPad synced with my computer files, and all of my videos were erased off of my IPad. I cannot locate them anywhere on my computer. How can I recover these lost videos? Please help! Thanks!

Try this first.... Quit iTunes, restart the Mac, restart the iPad and then try again.
If that does not work, look here for more help.

Why doesn't iCal sync properly between my Mac and my iPhone 5?

Every time I connect my iPhone (iOS 6.1) to my Mac (version 10.6.8) with USB cable through i Tunes, I end up getting double entries on one or both devices. The last time I tried this the January calendar on the iPhone was completely wiped out and the time before that the January calendar on my computer was completely wiped out in addition to double entries on the survivng January calendar. A colleague of mine was telling me he has had the same problem and became so disgusted he has given up trying to sync. Right now I am keeping both calendars up to date by hand.

I am completely disgusted w/ Apple at this point!!! I've had my iPhone 5 for about a year now and I've NEVER been able to sync it w/ my pc (yes.......I've tried ALL the suggested fixes for my version of Windows, before anyone else starts regurgitating all the crap I've read thru a dozen times to no avail). Basically.....if you want to really address your problem by 'reinstalling' itunes; you'd better have your schedule for the ENTIRE NIGHT clear because you'll be waiting for itunes to download for a good 5 hours. (occasionally you'll read some knuckle head's feedback, who is probably an Apple employee, saying that it "only takes 5 minutes". I'd highly suggest not even paying attention to these morons!!
Yes I realize that I haven't contributed anything productive to this thread.....yes I realize it will irritate some people.....however they'll need to deal with it because at this point, I'm simply using this thread to 'vent' my frusteration w/ Apple. Horrible update!! Horrible support!! Horrible suggested fixes and even worse acknowledgment of your customer base's problems w/ your product!!! I'm seriously contemplating selling my iphone and going android again. Samsung's looking pretty good right about now!!

Album Art not syncing properly since updating Touch and iTunes (Mac and Win

Both my partner and I are both experiencing problems with cover art on our Touches.
He uses Vista and I use a Mac - before we updated everything was fine. iTunes displays the right album art but when you run through coverflow on the touches you end up with random album art. Currently I have a Janet Jackson album cover on an album belonging to A-ha.
The same problems occurs with my partners touch.
Is this a bug in the Touch update or iTunes update? Can it be fixed - I am not sure how though as iTunes appears to be displaying the right information!

I have not seen this behavior, but you might want to try a restore on the Touch to see if that helps.
I have to wonder about something possibly being wrong on your library - possibly outdated or bad ID3 tags.
YOu could try to fix this by: (I saw this fixed issues for others elsewhere, but I have not done it)
Open iTunes.
Select all of your music in your library.
Goto the Advanced menu and select "Convert ID3 tags"
Select ID3 tag version and select 2.4 from the drop-down menu, click OK.
It will take a while, depending on how much music you have.
Restore the iPod(s) and sync again.
Does that fix it?

How come songs do not sync from PC to iPad and iPod?

there are songs that are in my iTunes library on my PC, yet, when I plug my iPad in to sync, all the songs do not transfer. They are all checked. Any advice will help. Thank you

Any errors?
Are they in a supported format?
Is "Sync Music" check on the Music tab or "Manually manage media on this iDevice" on the Summary tab?
