NKeeps asking me to sync

I posted this in the mobile me sync section but in 3 days I got no replies and it is really annoying me.
I realised my iMac wasn't registered on my mobile me account to sync so I went into system prefs>mobile me and checked the box to sync automatically.
Now, the status in the display bar keeps spinning, indicating that is always syncing. But every 10-15 minutes a box pops up saying sync information has changed and would I like to merge all data, or use only mobile me or iMac. I want to merge the data so I choose that and hit sync now. The box goes but the status keeps spinning and i happens again.
I tried unregistering and reregistering the iMac but now instead of just having bookmarks contacts and calendars in the more options box (available to view by clicking on more options in the box that pops up every 10-15 min) I now have all the items I have chosen to sync.
Please help.
Regards

In that case, follow the article ChrisJ4203 attached above. As you continue through the process, you should eventually be invited to restore your iCloud backup as described here:
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
But first, your iPad will be erased and the current version of iOS will be loaded as described in the article ChrisJ4203 attached.

Since latest Lion upgrade it keeps asking me to sync contacts

Ever since the latest Lion upgrade, I regularly get a popup window asking me to sync contacts.
I haven't synced contacts (or calendars) through MobleMe in years. All I do is make sure my computer/iPhone uses my Google contacts.
First I turned off syncing for anything on MobileMe. Then, I logged off Moble Me.
I also have set up iCloud to NOT sync contacts or calendars.
Anyone have an idea that will make that box stop showing up?
Thanks in advance,
- Paul

Yes.
Restore your iTunes library from your computer's backup along with all other important data that should be included with your computer's backup such as your documents, photos, etc.
Important to maitain a backup with any computer platfirm but event more so with Windows due to being very insecure and unreliable,

Everytime i Sync ipad or iphone after restarting computer the music and movie boxes have been automatically unchecked. Then if i check it it ask remove and sync.Why is this happening?

As question the says itunes keeps unchecking the movies and music boxes and i then have to "remove and Sync" then reselect the movies i want to watch. Movies is set to allow me to selct only what I want and music is sync all music. I appreciate any help.

Hmm. That sounds easy enough... but how do I backup to the new computer when it doesn't give me the option? When I connect the iPad via USB, it asks me to:
• set up as a new IPad
• restore from a previous backup (where the only backup listed in the drop down menu is a stolen iPad with outdated information, dated April of 2011. It doesn't ask to restore from iCloud where this current iPad is backed up.)
If you're suggesting that I back up both devices to iCloud and then wipe them, then plug them into the new computer and restore from the iCloud backup, so that my new computer considers these new devices, that makes sense... except that I don't see an option to restore from iCloud. Does that option appear later? And is it absolutely certain that any app I have entered data into will restore that information as well, and not just the app? For example, if I have an index card app which I make essay notes in, will those notes definitely be backed up along with the app? Or just the app? I can't afford to lose all my work data.
Thanks.

IPod touch won't launch, asks for iTunes sync after it has already setup.

Asked for update and will not restore. IOS 4.2.1 is installed. We have already set it up and used the iPod, but recently we have turned it off and it's asking for us to sync it with iTunes. Just like the setup was. We did what it asked but nothing will show up in iTunes indicating that the iPod is connected. The iPod was first connected to another PC, but was recently connected to current PC. We have tried bipassing this setup, but have failed to work around it. If anyone could help, that would be great

It sounds like this should fix your problem:

Ask your question.sync your iphone with home computer

how do sync iphone with an other computer?

when you turn off automatic sync in itunes, than you are able to sync your device with more than one computer (i sync my devices at home with a windows and at work with a mac)
difference is that you cant sync everything, cause like roaminggnome said, itunes will delete your iphone with the information/data which is in itunes, e.g. music, vids etc.
but you are able to trasnfer some data to your new/other computer to have it there too
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296?viewlocale=en_US
but as i said, turn off automat sync in itunes before connect to another computer

TS1538 when i plug My White Iphone 4 into my widows 8 Laptop, with itunes open. it dont ask me to sync my music,photos. it wont even say my iphone serial number,or how much space i have on my phone and your suggestions never helped me.

this makes me really upset

You reinstalled the Apple USB driver and everything listed there? If so, then I suggest that you follow the instructions in this support document to remove and reinstall iTunes. Follow the directions in the support document exactly. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923

[ASK] Email Cannot Sync and BBM Problem

Hi All,
I have problem about my 9320 Amstrong.
Suddenly, I can't receive email anymore (about 1 week ago). After that, I tried to hard reset then delete email and add again, but I can't synchronize my email to the server.
Also some of my bbm cannot send the message (only sign "D" even read). It just happened to some of my contact.
I try to change operator, also same happened at my 9320. But if my provider card used at other blackberry, it running well. So, this problem at my handheld or RIM at my suspect.
I tried to wipe, upgrade, HRT, send service book, and other, but still same result
Please, help me.. anyone have this issue also?
Thank you

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Delete and Resend Service Books (pre-BB10 devices only)
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) Reboot
Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. IF this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should try deleting and re-adding your configurations for the affected email accounts. Otherwise, you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
Good luck!

How do I know if my iphone has successfully been backed up to my iTunes? I plugged it in and it said it backed up and I did a sync, but when I am looking through the summary page and I am not sure that all of my data got backed up. Please help!!

I have never backed up my iphone to my itunes because I always used the cloud. However, a few months ago, my wifi disk in my phone burned out so the Apple Store told me to back up everything to my itunes. I am going today to get the iphone 6 so I connected my phone (iphone 4S) to my itunes and I backed up and synced. However, when I look throughout the summary page and click in different areas (Photos, Movies), I don't see any of my data -- it is still asking me to Sync from iPhoto or to sync from another location. By backing up & syncing my phone, did all of my data get saved? Or do I still need to do more steps?
Sorry for the long winded question, I am just so nervous to get a new phone and plug it in to be restored and not have any of my pictures, videos or contacts, etc. Any help would be so so appreciated!

Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
Sync Contacts:
Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone
Sync Calendars:

How can I sync *CURRENT* contacts with Facebook?

I searched the discussions and found numerous questions asking how to sync Facebook's contacts with Address Book but those results just put all of Facebook's contacts in your Address Book. I would like to sync the my current addressbook with Facebook and import user pictures, email addresses, etc.
I'm an iPhone user all of 24 hours but this is done pretty seemlessly on Android phones.
Is there a way of selecting just current contacts to be synced with Facebook?
I'm using an iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.3
Thank you.

I have found that syncing my contacts then un-syncing them results in my current contacts retaining all the info and picture from Facebook. I just don't have the Facebook updates, which I'm happier about anyway.

IPhone syncing to two Macs at the same time

Hi there, iI'd be really grateful if others have found a solution to this... Basically, I just transferred all my photos and music over to a new Mac Mini because by MacBook was getting a bit full. I've also connected my iPhone 5s to the new Mini and got it to sync. Having done all that, I started deleting photos and music from my old MacBook to free up space. However when I went to delete songs from the old Macbook iTunes library I was warned that these would delete them from my phone too I synced. 'Fine' I thought, I won't sync them again. However, I just connected my phone by lightning cable to the Mac Mini and asked it to sync and the MacBook (which is sat on, behind me) started syncing (I assume by wifi).
What are my options here please? Do I, for ever more, have to keep the MacBook off when I sync my phone to the Mini? Or can I decouple the phone and MacBook (whilst keeping the MacBook attached to my Apple ID?
Thanks in advance for any advice, I've scoured the forums and can't find others with this issue!

I don't run the newest iTunes, nor do I have any devices I can sync, so I cannot check things for you. There's a bunch of settings in the sync window and possibly also in iTunes preferences regarding syncing. I'm sure a bunch of them relate to keeping devices in sync through iCloud and probably wireless syncing. Look at them and figure out which ones you need to disable in your scenario.
It's going to be a nightmare keeping your things in sync and knowing which files are on what and whether or not to sync. I don't envy you.

Is Blackberry going to support syncing Installed Outlook 2013 + using Windows 8 +?

There are many threads and posts about the fact that Blackberry does not currently (April 2015) support syncing contacts and calendar items from Outllook 2013 (installed version at least). My experience with this is with Windows 8.1.
I can copy my .PST files to my laptop which run Windows 7 and Outlook 2010 and it syncs fine there.
I have the same current release of Desktop Software which installs Link for Windows 1.2.4. on both machines.
I would like some daylight on this issue. Does Blackberry intend to support this or not? I really like my Passport but IT IS MANDATORY THAT I BE ABLE TO SYNC MY OUTLOOK. I am a consultant and not on a corporate exchange service. Cleints send me invites to meetings etc. which populate my Desktop Outlook. I must be able to sync those and the contacts with my Blackberry Passport.
The Windows phones sync with Outlook just fine and in fact have an Outlook application installed. I am thinking about switching.

Well, I can't speak to your concerns about BB Management, nor about your desire for them to respond here. While they to from time to time post here, it's rare and should never be expected...the charter of this site is clear about what to expect.

You had asked specifically about PC-based synchronization, this might be of use:
http://docs.blackberry.com/en/smartphone_users/deliverables/60798/tom1359418099212.jsp
I do not know if that matches your configuration or not, but that's the official information we have available.
You did not originally ask about OTA sync, which is why I did not address that...but that indeed does work...refer:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/How-To-OTA-Sync-BB10-and-non...
There are I am sure many other threads that might be of interest to you, so a few minutes searching might reveal information that you desire. You might even find someone else with your exact configuration, and has it working...I don't know, for I shifted to OTA sync exclusively (I use both Hotmail as well as GMail for contacts and calendar).
Good luck!

Syncing IPod to Itunes on G5

I had posted this on the "IPod" forum. So far no response, so I would like to try it here.
After 5 plus years of success I can no longer sync my classic IPod to ITunes on my G5. It will sync for a short time and move some songs to the IPod, but then will stop with the following message:
"Attempting to copy to the disk "my ipod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
I can repeat the attempts to sync by dismissing the message and asking it to sync again. The process will repeat as before, but the sync time will decrease until it will refuse to sync. The message comes up every time.
I have tried about everything I can think of or get from support here and at Apple.
Here is the crazy part. I have a G5 (power PC) and a laptop (Intel) and the classic IPod (40 GB about 5 1/2 years old) and a new Nano. I cannot sync the classic IPod on the G5 but can on the laptop; w/o problem. I can also sync the Nano on the G5 (or the laptop) w/o any problem.
It seems to be that the PowerPC G5 will no longer talk to the classic IPod.
I have reset and restored the IPod; I have re-created my ITunes library; I have tried the two USB 2.0 ports on the G5 tower, and I have tried three different cables. Nothing fixes the problem.
I thought it might be related to ITunes 9.0.3; but nothing changed when I went to ITunes 9.1.
Anyone else seeing this? Anyone have any ideas? I would appreciate some new approach that I have not tried.
Thanks
John

You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for purchases from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
NOTE: Previous purchases from the iTunes Store can be re-downloaded to your new computer at no cost, from the iTunes Store Purchased screen.
Once the song files are on your Mac, you can add them to the iTunes library. Be careful, if there are songs that exist already in your iTunes library. If you just add them all, you may have a lot of duplicates to deal with and sort. Once your music is is complete in your iTunes library, you can sync your iPod.

iTunes can only sync Apple devices, and Apple has gone to great lengths to keep it that way.
However, you should be able to simply drag songs from iTunes to the folder representing the player.
