My iphone and Macbook do not sync automatically when I update contacts on one or the other
When I enter new info or add a new contact on my Macbook or on my iphone, it doesn't always show up on the other device. It use to do this.
This should work automatically. Try turning iMessage off and back on again on both devices
Good luck!

I have my ipad, iphone, and macbook pro all synced together, which generally works fine. I receive all emails from senders in my address book in my Macbook Pro and iPhone, but some end up in Trash on my iPad, with the message, "This message cannot be displayed because of the way it is formatted. Ask the sender to send it again using a different format or email program. text/plain" They appear to be mainly from competing platforms, android, etc. Is there a workaround for this problem?

Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.

IPhone 5 calendar will not sync back to google calendar but will work in the other direction
Any help or anyone having a similar problem?it seems to be a google server problem
It used to work fine, but after our system administrator changed our google login name, I started experiencing problems with syncing. If I set something on my PC on my google calendar, it will show up on my phone. If I set something on my phone, it doesn't sync to google calendar in the cloud. What's worse, because the event isn't in the cloud, it deletes it from my phone. I have successfully changed my log in information on my phone and the e-mail part works fine. Only having problems with the calendar. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Since updating my iPhone my Macbook will not sync I believe its because I am on OSX10.5.8 can i download the new OSX software?
You will need to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 in order to update iTunes to sync with your iPhone.
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:

we have an ipad two iphones and an ipod nano can we sink all of them to one itunes the items have different itune accounts
Did you change the email address or create a new Apple ID?
If the email address associated with the account was merely changed, sign out of the Apple ID on the devices and sign in using the new credentials. -
I have an iphone and have two email accounts linked to it. I want one of the email accounts to BCC myself but I don't want the other email account to do that. How do I do that?
If the picture was in your photo stream you can sign into the iCloud account in Settings>iCloud and turn on photo stream to see/copy it. If it was only in the iCloud backup you can't restore just the picture; you have to restore the entire backup. Restoring a backup is all or nothing.

I have three computers backing up onto the same Time Machine. The Hard drive of one has now failed, and I'd like to restore certain items (principally photographs) to one of the other two computers. How can I do this?
"You can also browse the original backup disk for past backups by using "Browse other Time Machine Disks"--to see this choice, hold the Option key then click the Time Machine menu in the Finder (to see the menu, "Show Time Machine status in the menu bar" must be selected in Time Machine preferences."

So I know this has been a problem for a lot of people and I have seen some pretty random solutions, but none have worked for me. I have an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2. Both are running their latest version of iOS 5. My Macbook has the latest version of iTunes installed. This problem has lasted since the previous version of iTunes as well, however. Basically, neither of my iOS devices will sync. I have tried both syncing over wi-fi and USB cable, and I have had no success. Both devices get stuck on the first step, "Waiting for sync to start." Eventually it will time out and quit. I have tried all of the solutions such as turning off the phone, quitting iTunes and then restarting everything and retrying. Nothing has worked. The only thing I have not tried is uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes as I've read in multiple places that reinstalling iTunes is pretty much never the solution. Even though I know it's not likely, I'm worried about losing information out of iTunes if I tried that. So I'm hoping someone has another solution for me.
Well, I got incredibly frustrated last night so I just did a whole restore again. After the restore, my phone synced back up putting all the apps and such back on. Thought it was fixed. But now that I've gotten home and tried to sync again, it's back to not working. I figure this has to be a software issue on my mac since it's both the iPhone and the iPad, right? If it was a problem with the software on the devices, it wouldn't be affecting both. Or maybe I'm wrong. Would an uninstall and reinstall of iTunes do anything?
