My info wont sync

I recently got an iphone and an ipad for christmas. i have a mac that i bought 2 years ago. the user name and password are different from the mac and the iphone, and i cant get my things to sync. how to do i make them all the same?

You would have to Upgrade your OS to Mac OS 10.7.2 or later.
Depending on your iMac you may not be able to upgrade past 10.7.
If you want to upgrade to the latest OS which is 10.9 you can do so in the Mac App Store.
10.9 System Requirements: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5842
You can purchase Mac OS X 10.7 through Apple at http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion

Ipod Wont Sync My Music in itunes

Ok big problem. I have all my music saved onto a 120Gig Western digital Portable Hard drive. i have an 80gig ipod. ive had it for about 5-6 months. i am now having a problem where it wont sync. what happends is that all of my music is in the itunes library. when i try to sync my ipod, none of the music syncs and all of the locations of the original file become lost. when i go into my hard drive and look, all of the files are missing. but when i either unplug the hard drive or restart my comp all of my music is there again. if i try again it does the same thing over and over. any suggestions? t would be appreciated. thanks.

In answer to your last question, no - your iPod is not a goner, but you need to work out what has happened first so that it doesn't happen again. I'm guessing that if you look at "Other" on your iPod you may find it's quite large.
Look on your iPod, go to the Settings menu and choose the About option; on that first display the graphic should show lots of blue (audio), some darker blue (video), some yellow/orange (photos if you have any) and a small amount of orange/red (other). That's the sequence, don't worry if the colours are slightly off or not there. If the last one - other is larger than the audio then that's where your storage has gone!
I still think that your PC has allocated a different letter to the external hard drive compared to when you previously added the music. Then, when the iPod cannot find the music on your PC when synced, it moves the songs to "other". Have you checked to make sure there are no "rogue" drive letters still allocated and have you ruled out the possibility of connecting the hard drive in another sequence when connecting up other USB devices? (As I mentioned in my last post.) Once you have done that, then look in iTunes.
If I understand you correctly, only some of the songs (in iTunes) have an exclamation mark against them, while some do not, is that correct? If so, it means that iTunes cannot find the location of ones with exclamation marks. So look at some of the songs that do not have an exclamation mark and try the *Get info/Where* to find out where iTunes thinks they are. Then check to see if the same drive letter is allocated to the hard drive when you connect it. They should be the same letter, are they?
If not, that's been the problem. If they are the same, try "asking" iTunes to see if it can now find the location of one of the missing tracks. (It's possible of course, that some newer added songs were added after the drive letter changed and this will be a problem, but let's hope not!)
So, what's the situation now? If you think the problem is a changed drive letter, make sure that the correct drive letter is now allocated and then ask iTunes to find the missing songs. (Unfortunately, this might be on a song-by-song basis!)
Once you find the missing songs, (or if you don't you will just have to import them again into iTunes.) and your iTunes is now complete again, it's time to sort out the iPod.
Connect up the iPod and on the iTunes Summary screen, use the Restore function. This will restore your iPod to its factory settings and remove everything from it, thus freeing up the missing storage space. then a fresh Sync will add everything back onto the iPod again. As you can appreciate, all this will take a bit of time, which is why you need to understand what happened so you don't have to go through this again.
Let us know how you get on.
Good luck,

Since upgrading to Maverick Ical wont sync on ipad and iphone 4

iCal (7.0) wont sync with iPad (7.1) or iPhone (7.1) since upgrading to Maverick (10.9.2). I noticed iTunes (11.1.5) no longer has the 'info' tab I used to go to for settings. How do I sync my Mac, iPad and iPhone with iCal and Address book?

For some of us, the additional problem is that once you give in and go iCloud, no rep will tell you there are iCloud limits on iCal's size, so that if you're calendar is say 10 years old, with 10 events per day, and there's a 25K event limit, it won't work, even if you buy all the storage in the world. Which means that's syncing is OVER.
So far I've tried three alt calendars: Fantastical (rated one of the top iCal alts); Pocket Informant (allegedly capable of superpowers); and Calendars. Not a single one is able to do the one simple task of
1) integrating an ical ics file,
2) placing a calendar program on the desktop and the iPhone
3) keeping them both in sync.
This is really getting to annoy me. Chelsea, a tech support supervisor, offered that if I pay $99/year I can become a developer and get the next beta iTunes which will allegedly offer local syncing. Great.

IPhone 4s wont sync

My iPhone 4s wont sync, i have been using it and everything charges fine but everytime i plug it into my pc it says it cant start apple mobile device.

None of those worked...
My Phone still wont sync.
Thanks for the info though!
I'd also like to add, I can restore my phone just fine..
I just can't sync it.
I'm not sure why. But it's pretty annoying.
EDIT: It just randomly started to sync now.. I have no idea what I did to make it work.. But it's syncing now.. Must have been something I did from that link you posted. So thanks a TON!

HT4623 I have a 3g v 2.2 that wont sync or update with my imac v 10.6

have a 3g v 2.2 that wont sync or update with my imac v 10.6

If your computer is running an OS X prior to Snow Leopard 10.6,
the answer (if it is an Intel-based Mac; not old PowerPC model)
would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD from Apple
for about $20, and install it. Then update that to 10.6.8 by using
the installed Snow Leopard online to get Combo Update v1.1 for
Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After that is installed & updated, run the
system's Software Update again, to see what else is available to
that system.
Later systems can then be looked into at Mac App Store, once
the computer is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
And if your computer is a Power PC (G4/G5, etc) and has no
Core2Duo kind of CPU -- See "About this Mac" in apple menu
to disclose the general info about your Mac. Also you can see
even more by clicking on "More Info" when looking in there...
If it isn't an Intel-based Mac, it can't run a system past 10.5.8.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing!

We upgraded our mac now itunes wont sync with our i phones

Update old software on the Mac so my partner can run citrix and now iphones wont sync any advice

I'd like to add some info;
iTunes and iPhone are both up to date. Phone is NOT jailbroken.
I've tried the iFun Box "fix" however while it allows iTunes to once again recongonize my phone it only works the one time meaning I'd have to erase and re-sync my entire music library evertime I want to add music or movies. Ridiculous no?
And when using the iFun Box "fix" I don't have the music database file which would alledgedly allow me to keep my music without re-syncing the whole thing.
I can't believe there is no easy fix for this yet.
This is a new phone and I'm incredibly ticked off right now. I'm not sure why Apple's own product wont' work with its own software.

Itunes 9.0 wont sync facebook and other apps

i just downloaded itunes 9.0 and for soem reason it wont allow several apps to syn to my itouch. one of which is facebook. it syncs over most of my apps but for some reason it wont sync facebook. I check the box for the sync, then sync the itouch, it will say facegook is being installed, but at the end of the sync, it automatically "unchecks" the box for facebook and the app in never sync'd over. it happens will about 7 other apps. any ideas??

I have the exact thing going on. DLd itunes 9 this morning and have spent the last two hours going blind reading forums. I guess it's something to do with individual apps. After completely removing the .ipa for each problem app, I tried re-downloading from both itunes(didn't work) and from the App Store via my itouch then transfering back into the itunes library. Nothing worked.
What's funny is they all list in the itunes library fine, and will even attempt to sync but the sync lasts about one second, then unchecks the problem apps as if I never really checked them. Here are my problem apps:

Hey,
Last night my computer wouldnt sync my ipod.And i did all the steps listed but then i went and ran a dignostic test on my ipod. This can be done through opening Itunes and then in the help menu click on run diagnostic.. Then when it did that, it said my ipod wouldnt connect properly and then i clicked on the show help. It took me to this page (link provided below)
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
Then i clicked on the first option which is 'Restart the ipod service' After doin that my ipod has been working fine ever since. Thought you might like to try it if you havent already sorted out the problem.

My Ipod wont sync with my new library and I dont know why not. It will show that it is connected through home sharing, but it is only avalible when i am with my laptop! I dont know how to get this current library as mine on my ipod, help!

My ipod will not sync with my laptop. I have had previous Ipods in the past, but since then I have grown out of most of my music. Also about a year and a half ago I got a new laptop. I used the same Itunes name, but now on my new Ipod it has all of my old music and it refuses to download any of my new music. When I am using home sharing though, it says that I can turn on my "Library" but that my "music" is what is perminately on the computer. This only works though if I am near my laptop. When I try to transfer my library onto my ipod it wont let me. My music on my ipod is completely different than my normal itunes library on my computer and I have no idea how to transfer it. When I plug it in, it wont sync at all, or show that there is any device even plugged in. I am frustrated and tired of not having any of my music, so someone please help!!!

You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library. To make this your syncing computer:
