MacBook Pro won't sync with other devices

My MacBook pro won't sync with other devices in the house. My iPad and iPhone sync OK but MacBook won't for some reason. Can you help?

Sign into your account in iTunes - from that page you should be able to deauthorise ALL 5 authorised computers - supposedly you can do this once a year.
Thereafter any devices you no longer have will be deauthorised, and you can reauthorise those you still have or are new.

My Macbook pro won't sync with my iPad. It says it isn't authorised. I have gone as far as deauthorizing all computers then authorizing the Macbook & still no luck. Any ideas?

Sorry, not sure how to screenshot on my computer, but this is what is says word for word:-
The Ipad could not b synced because the computer is not longer authorised for purchased items that are on this ipad.
To authorise this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store>Authorise this computer.
I have done all of that but not luck. That's when I tried deauthorising all computer which it did ok. I then authorised my Macbook pro again, it said I had one computer now authorised. I tried to delete apps via Itunes then sync to my iPad, but the above message keeps popping up & it wont do what I want.

CD will not eject and MacBook Pro won't restart

CD will not eject and MacBook Pro won't restart.

Do a SMC reset, that hopefully should get you booting and while booting, hold the option/alt and trackpad button down at the same time. Once a row of icons appears and if the disk hasn't ejected via the trackpad method, then press the eject key on the keyboard until it does.
Click the arrow to boot up OS X.

If this doesn't work, then take the machine in for service.

Reboot into Safe Mode (hold the shift key down at the sound of the chime, release when the progress bar appears) Safe Mode will take longer to boot than normal.

My ipad 2 and macbook pro don't sync

I can't get my Ipad 2 and Macbook Pro to sync. I have the latest version of ITunes and am running Mountain Lion on the Mac. I have rebooted both.

over wifi, i have tried using the cable but it does't sync that way either. it shows that it is syncing but nothing changes and it syncs faster than it normally would. I am adding and deleting some movies from it and there is no change.

MacBook Pro won't sync with iCloud, although iPhone and iPad are fine.

My MacBook Pro keeps telling me it can't sync with iCloud because my password may be incorrect. I keep re-entering the correct password, but this keeps on happening. iCloud seems to be working fine with iPhone and iPad. Also, there are 2 iCloud accounts showing on my MacBook, but if I try to delete one, it seems to delete both.

Your signature says you have 10.3.x but presumably this can't be correct - could you please make sure it's correct to prevent confusion. 10.7.2 is required for iCloud - your Mac won't be able to sync with pre-Lion systems.
The fact that you have iCloud accounts showing does suggest you have Lion: are they showing in System Preferences>iCloud, or where? You can only enter one there.
Are the two different or the same? You could try deleting both and then starting the setup again from scratch.

MacBook Pro won't sync my iPhone

So I bought my Macbook Pro 3 weeks ago, and I finally got around to copying my music from my old IBM laptop to my MacBook last night using my USB Hard Drive, and ever since then, my USB ports have been acting up.
Last night, when I would hook up my iPhone to the computer using the first USB port, I would get an error message saying that the USB port was drawing too much power, and was shutting down. When I would plug it into the second USB port, it would cause my MacBook to spontaneously shut off, and it wouldn't turn back on until I unplugged it. When searching for a resolution to this problem, I didn't really find much useful information on it besides that fact that A. This seems to be a common issue and B. The USB ports on my MacBook are not as powerful as their PC counterparts.
So I couldn't get it working last night, but I chalked it up to the fact that maybe it was because my USB Data Cable was a bootleg third party knock off I got on eBay from China, and my Mac just didn't like it. Of course this wouldn't explain why I had no problem syncing before I used my USB Hard Drive to transfer data, but whatever. So I stopped at AT&T on my way home from work tonight, and picked up a new data cable hoping this would solve my problem.
Now using this new data cable, I no longer get the spontaneous shutdowns or too much power errors, and the Mac does recognize the existence of the iPhone, but it absolutely refuses to sync with the computer for longer than about 30 seconds. I plug it in, iTunes pops up, iPhoto pops up, and it begins to sync, but then it just stops recognizing the iPhone after about 30 seconds, and won't sync up. The MacBook obviously still recognizes the iPhone, because it continues to charge it, but it doesn't seem to be working with the software.
Does anyone have any advice on how to clear this problem up? Thanks in advance

Any help?

ICal on macbook pro won't sync iCal events from iPhone 5

I've synced/backed up my iPhone 5 with iTunes within the past hour.
After it finished, I went onto iCal on my macbook pro and saw that it didn't have events my iPhone 5 had.
So then I went to settings and changed the iCloud settings so that it would back up iCal.
But even after that, it took too long to back up and it failed at backing it up.
So I googled how long iCloud takes to back up and realized that the more I had for it to back up, the longer it takes.
Now I'm down to 500-something mb for iCloud to back up. It's still taking a long time.
THEN I googled to see if anyone else has had any problems with syncing iCal.
There was one person who deleted iTunes 11.0.1 and downgraded to the 10 version.
Is there any way for me to sync/backup my iCal on my macbook pro with iCal events from my iPhone 5, vice versa?
(Other than downgrading, if there is one)

MacBook Pro won't sync with iPhone but iPhone does

Since upgrading MacBook Pro to OS X Yosemite and each of iPhone and iPad to iOS 8.1.2, whilst appointments made on iPhone and iPad appear on Calendar in MacBook Pro, those made on MacBook Pro don't appear in Calendars on my iPhone and iPad. Tried iTunes sync with cable, WiFi while connected to power, have read Forums, etc but no luck. Effectively "One way sync" only. Has any one else experienced and rectified this issue??

Calendar on my MacBook Pro won't sync events with my iOS devices via iCloud.

I have a MacBook Pro 13" (non-retina) running OS X Mountain Lion, and an iPad 3 and iPhone 4S running iOS 6.1.3.
I recently created some events in Calendar on my Mac, and later wanted to edit them on my iPad.
The event didn't show up on my iPad, so I tried my iPhone.
Neither worked out, and I assumed it was my Internet connection.
Later, my iOS devices still wouldn't get the events from my MacBook.
I made sure all my devices were logged into iCloud with the same account and the calendar synchronization was enabled.
Still nothing worked!
How can I get my events to sync?

Be sure that the calendar on the mac is in the "icloud" group and not "on my mac". Calendars "on my mac" do not sync with icloud.

ITunes and MacBook Pro won't recognize 2 gen iPod

I'm trying to sync my 2nd gen iPod to my MacBook Pro. It won't come up in the Finder or on iTunes. I've done the suggestions I found online but still can't connect. I've never had a problem before. Any other suggestions?

Make sure you're running the most current version of itunes. Update if you have not done so, then:
Follow the steps here to remove & reinstall the AMDS to see if itunes will see your phone:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747
You won't be able to do anything until itunes recognizes your phone. Once that is done, restore the phone as a "new" device in itunes. This should remove the software used to jailbreak the phone.

Full Battery and MacBook Pro won't turn on

So I was working on my MacBook Pro making a slide show and my other computer needed some power so I unplugged my Pro and plugged it into my other computer. After about five minutes my MacBook Pro just shut down. I don't know what happened, but the power is full and when I press the power button it doesn't do anything. It's almost like the power button doesn't even work. Any help would be very appreciated!! I really need to get this slideshow done!

I recently had a very similar problem... Last Monday I had been using my MBP for a presentation and by the end of the presentation my battery was DEAD. That was ok b/c I wasn't planning on doing anything else that night... The problem came the next day when AFTER CHARGING it would still not turn on. After trying ALL DAY to get my computer to start up, I finally had my mom take it out to the Apple Store and you probably won't like the answer that I got re: my MBP...
They said that there as a lot of dust that had gotten into it (I had had a couple of keys that had come off of my keyboard) They also said that the only way to get it working again was to do a COMPLETE & TOTAL OVERHAUL OF MY COMPUTER at a whopping cost of $1140.00 since a) my AppleCare expired in March and b) they said that there appeared to also be a little bit of OLD water damage!!
     Because I am disabled and the only "work" that I do is volunteer for the non-profit organization that my mom & I founded (Dreams Fulfilled Through Music) I certainly don't have an extra $1140 sitting around to repair this!
     What I finally ended up doing was going to a outside authorized Apple Repair Center where they removed the HD from my MBP (that runs 10.7.4) and put it into an enclosure so that I could still access my data (since my mom has an identical MBP). this only cost me $114 and will allow me to save up for the repairs and or replacement of my computer.
     The problem that I ran into now is that b/c my mom is almost constantly using her computer, I had to try to start up my older MBP with the external HD from my 3yr old MBP. Unfortunately, my older MBP only has 2.16GHz of Processor speed & 2 GB of RAM and unfortunately is only running 10.4.11!! When I plugged in the external HD, I was able to see the drive & it's contents but when I attempted to "Start Up" this laptop from that disk w/ Mac OS X 10.7.4 on it, this laptop wouldn't recognize the new version of Mac OS X and thus wouldn't start up from that disk.
     I've just about decided that I this (now 6 yr old computer) is SIMPLY NOT CAPABLE of starting up from the HD that was taken out of my newer (3 yr old) MBP!!
Does anyone know if this is in fact the case?
I truly hope that this is not the case with your MBP but I figured since our experiences were SO SIMILAR that I should at least share with you what AppleCare Geniuses told me about my computer!
I also hope that someone can also answer my question about starting up my older laptop from the newer HD.
Take Care
