My iMessage is not syncing with my iPhone 5
When I upgraded to Mt. Lion, I was able to have my iMessages on both my phone and my MacBook Pro. I recently upgraded to iPhone 5 and now when I send messages via iMessage on my Mac, it is sent using my email address and does not show up on my phone as it did before. Any idea on how to get these two to work together again?
First, check your iPhone 5's Messaging to see if it includes your phone number (Settings/General/Messages/Send & Receive). If not, Sign Out then back in.
If it does then move to your Mac and check to see if your phone number is defined there (Messages/Preferences/Accounts). If not, Sign Out of iCloud on your Mac and sign back in.
Make sure your phone number is checked in both the Mac and iPhone so they both use your phone number for messages besides your email address(es).

I am having trouble getting my iPhone and iPad to sync in my iMessage app. I tried plugging them into my computer to iTunes and re-booting they did before and now the iMessage win't sync. Any suggestions?
Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc. -
My icloud account does not sync with my iphone 4S. My contacts do not turn up on icloud and I do have "contacts" turned on in my phone.
Unchecking them won't help, it will only hide them from view. The issue you're running into is that iCloud doesn't sync contacts from non-iCloud accounts like your exchange and Yahoo accounts. In order to sync these with iCloud, you would need to copy them to the iCloud account and then disable contact syncing with these other accounts. (If you didn't disable contacts syncing with these accounts, you would see duplicates of these contacts on your phone -- one from the external account, and one from iCloud.) If you want to do this, do the following:
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup. (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer from your other accounts you will need the “Pro” version.) Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from the other accounts) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email before proceeding to step 3.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), and confirm that this is set to iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap your Yahoo and your exchange account and turn off contacts syncing with these accounts. This will remove the contacts from these accounts from your phone.
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from these accounts back to your phone, and to iCloud. All your contacts should now be in iCloud and be visible on icloud.com. -

You need to restore the pre-upgrade backup of the library file in the manner shown in Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

Why is my iCal not syncing with my iPhone and iPad?
After upgrading to iOS5 and all the iCloud things, my iCal is not syncing with my iPhone or my iPad. I've tried all the setting, but cannot figure out what I'm doing or not doing that it won't sync. I checked the Cloud and the calendar is there. Can anyone help?
I had this problem, too. To reiterate, events on the iPad and iCloud were loading down into iCal on my Macbook Pro, but events I put on my MacBook Pro were not migrating back.
It comes down to which calendar the event is listed under. In iCal (right now) your default calendars are all local. If you change the event to an iCloud calendar, the migration is seamless. So, when you create an event, just scroll down in calendars, pick the iCloud equivalent to the "On my Mac" calendars (they're mirrored/duplicated) and it all works just fine.
I hope that helps.

Why does my IPad not sync with my IPhone for Ibooks bookmarks?
Why does my IPad not sync with my IPhone for IBooks bookmarks? Both Pad and Phone have sync turned on.
I must apologize as I misread your post. I though that you were talking about Safari bookmarks but you post does clearly state iBooks bookmarks.
You may want to just try restarting both devices and see if that helps. One other thing that you could try is quit iBooks on both devices and then launch it again and see if the bookmarks are synced when you relaunch. -
I made a playlist in iTunes, but it will not sync with my iPhone, why?
I made a playlist in iTunes, but it will not sync with my iPhone when I connect it to iTunes and select sync, why? On the music tab, I have selected, import all songs.
Okay, but being "checked and highlighted" does not cause media to sync.
Do you manually manage the content on the device or use the sync feature as designed?
If manually managing the content, can you "drag and drop" the media onto the device?
If syncing, go to the Movies (or video) tab and select the video there, then sync.
Does it work now? -

I can not sync with itunes iphone , is catching, and when it begins to sync is a long time and then appears a message that no time to help sincronização.Me am without some music
You are correct. Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases. You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.

My ical is not syncing with my iPhone 4s.
My ical is not syncing with my iPhone 4s. I had mobileme and upgraded to iCloud. I also have Mac Lion and feel like I have all the upgrades required, but any time I enter a new event in my iCal, it never transfers to my iPhone. Note: when I enter an event in my phone, it DOES transfer properly to my iCal on my Mac.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings. -
Since installing mavericks, my computer calendar does not sync with my iPhone and iPad calendars. My iPhone and iPad are synced however. What can I do to make all of my mac devices sync
You don't sync the MM calendar anymore, you subscribe to it in iCal,
iCal>Preferences>Accounts, enter the details here.
MM should be the default calendar on all clients. -
The calendar on the imac is not syncing with the iphone?
The calendar on my macpro, operating system OS X 10.6.8, does not sync with the iphone? When I look up on the info tab in itunes, the calendar is checked to sync
Completely by serendipity I just fixed this!
I was perplexed as to why all my events showed in iCal on my computer, but only some events would show in iCal on my iphone.
All day events were not showing, appointments weren't showing and neither was work, but social events were, no matter how many times i tried to sync my iphone with my MacBook Pro. Hmmm strange.
So I only just figured it out accidentally when on iCal on my iphone that if i click the 'calendars' tab in the top left hand corner, it takes me to a list of all my created calendars (and their colours) that I have in iCal.
If you tap on a certain calendar it will display only those events. Eg. I tapped on my calendar 'appointments >', and iCal only displayed all of my appointment times on my iphone and not the other events.
If I tap on 'work >', it displays all work events. Etc.
Is this making sense??
NOW:
If you go back to the 'calendars' tab on iCal on the iphone and tap on 'All >'...
then
Hooray!!! All your events will be displayed.
Hopefully! :P
Hope this helps!! -
ITunes is not syncing with my iPhone 4S
Hello,
After recently upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS 7. My iTunes music will not sync with my phone and the current music on my phone just skips each song over and over again. Does anyone know the cause and the fix to this problem?
Thank youHere's what I did. If you have an existing playlist and add a song to it, drag the whole playlist into the phone icon. It will ask if you want to Replace the playlist..YES. In my case i added one song in the playlist to test it. It synced the one song and also kept all the other songs but it didnt run through every song, so it was really fast. This is what I would do...drag and drop. Also, I shut down my phone and started it again, before I did the sync. I hope this helps
