Need to sync my iphone 4 to MacBook Pro

Hi, my Iphone 4 will not sync to my MacBook Pro anymore for some strange reason. I just download the latest iTunes, but I wasn't able to install it because I don't have the OS X 10.6.8 or later software, I downloaded the software and it still didn't work and a message popped up telling me to download the OS X 10.6....so I did and it still doesn't allow me to sync my phone. Please help

message popped up telling me to download the OS X 10.6....so I did
At start of that thread, I by mistake assumed that you already know. Before you can install new
itunes, you need to have mac OS X 10.6 (snow leopard).
So your first step is to check if your sysem hardware is good for that. Use the link above, decide if you want to pay 29 bucks (for software).

IBooks and podcasts won't sync between iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro

I have an iPad 2, an iPhone 5s and a MacBook Pro (Mavericks) - all are on the cloud and wifi sync, all permissions are there, settings are correct. The iBooks issue I had was between the MacBook and the iPad - I put some PDF files into iBooks on my MacBook and when I went to the iPad they were not there. Even after syncing, connecting directly to the MacBook via USB - nothing. They are there now, but I have no idea how that happened. I tried that a week ago.
This morning on my commute into work, I added a couple of podcasts to the Apple podcast app on my iPhone 5s. When I got into the office and went to the podcasts app on my iPad, they were not there. Even after syncing on wifi (I don't have my MacBook with me so I haven't tried direct syncing).
Am I misunderstanding how the wifi syncing works altogether? Or is my iPad the issue? Any help is appreciated!

Hi vichochile,
If you are having an issue with syncing your new iPhone with the information that is in iCloiud (and on your other devices) we should make sure that iCloud is set up correctly on the iPhone. See this page for directions -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

TS4062 Contact Sync Question - iPhone to Macbook Pro

I made a change to one of my contacts on my iPhone. After I connected my iPhone to my Macbook Pro, started iTunes and clicked sync and allowed sync to finish, why does the change that I made not appear in the same contact on my Macbook address book?

Hello jonhurd,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12117
If you have problems syncing, try syncing only certain information. For example, deselect the Sync checkboxes on the Music, Photos, Podcasts, and Video panes, and try syncing only Info.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Contacts sync with iPhone, iPad & MacBook Pro but not calendar won't

OK, so on my iPhone and iPad I have software V 6.1.3, my MacBook Pro 10.8.3. I can get contacts to sync with all 3 but the calendar nothing wants to sync.

OK, I made a change to calendar on MacBook Pro and it syncd with iPad & the iPhone. I deleted it on the iPad and it syncd with the MacBook but not the phone. So apparently the problem is between the iPhone & the iPad.

Ical sync from iPhone to Macbook Pro

Using my MacBook Pro with Lion OS, I can create an event that shows up on my phone, but not the reverse. I can add an appointment on my iphone 4g (IOS 5), but it doesnt show up on my iCal on my computer. I have signed up for the iCloud. Does anyone know what is wrong?

I only show one iCloud on my IPhone that can do a restore. I synced it with my MacBook Pro and I think that may have messed things up. Prior to that I have several backups. Will a "genius" be able to access the info I need?

If things seem to be going haywire with your phone, it seems that it MAY be a software issue.
Now, that being said, that does not necessarily mean that it is a virus. Software issues do happen sometimes. It is probably just coincidence.
What you need to do is restore the device using iTunes. This will fix any software issues. After you have done this, you can restore from an iCloud backup.
iCloud does not back up the actual software, so no, the "virus" would not have gotten into the backups.
The link below provides steps on restoring your device using iTunes as well as how to restore from an iCloud backup.

Don't worry! Everything should be back to normal if you follow these steps.

I need OS 5.0 loaded to sync and t......... From 3G iPhone to MacBook pro laptop. How do I load 5.0?

I need OS 5.0 loaded on MacBook pro to be able to. Sync and tether 3G iPhone and laptop. How do I load 5.0?

If you mean Mac OS X 10.5 or newer for the MacBook Pro, you purchase and install it.
If you mean iOS 5, you can't; it isn't compatible with the iPhone 3G.

What setting will make sync make my iPhone and MacBook Pro contact cards alike?

What setting will make sync make my iPhone and MacBook Pro contact cards alike? I've been having to key in changes to both devices because sync doesn't sync.

If you really are running Mac OS X 10.7.5 and iOS 6.1.3, you should be able to sync through iTunes, but in current releases you need to use a central contact service like iCloud.
Did you have it working and then not working, or have you never had it working?
Are you trying to use iTunes, iCloud, or something else?

I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome

1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

You probably want to open a ticket with the maker of the app.

The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is back in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6 to access the App Store. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

I have my ipad, iphone, and macbook pro all synced together. I receive all my emails on the macbook and iphone just fine, but don't receive all emails on my ipad. Some go to Trash because it says they're improperly formatted. What gives?

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?
Thanks-

POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
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.
To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"
