No FT between US Mac and WiFi iPhone in Italy
Can't do FaceTime chat between my Mac in USA on Airport Extreme WiFi and ani iPhone (4s) on hotel or cafe WiFi in Italy.
The Italy end attempts to contact me via my Apple ID (I'm correctly set up, have tested with a local user), but no resullt I've also tried connecting from my end to the iPhone's Apple ID as well as its phone number. The other user's iPhone has been OK at home with domestic FT chats. Any troubleshooting tips to pass along via iMessage (which works fine)? Thanks.
Chuck,
Make sure the person with the iPhone has the correct date/time settings for the time zone the iPhone is located in. Usually, this is set automatically, but it doesn't hurt to double check.
Also, it is possible that the public wifi systems that are being utilized by the iPhone do not have enough available bandwidth to support FaceTime.

How do i share 1 ical calendar between 2 macs and 2 iphones using mobile me?
i need one universal shared calendar to use between 2 macs and 2 iphones.
i'll explain what i need to do, since i am so confused.
we operate our company using 2 computers, an iMac & a macbook. we also have 2 iphones.
i want to be able to edit/add/delete events and to-do's in 1 shared calendar between all of them.
i do not want to have to sync ALL of our calendars as some of us have our personal calendars in iCal as well.
we have a mobileme account as well.
is there a way to do this?

I'm trying to share a set of Numbers projects between my MacBook and my iPhone.
I notice that iWork.com does NOT do what I am expecting from the Apple Video's : it only allows me to consult documents through Safari, but not to open one directly from iCloud.com in the appropriate app for editing ...
Through file sharing in iTunes it seems to work for one of the projects ... but another project which has multiple tabs and rather long tables doesn't open on my iPhone due to "unknown error" ...
Even then, the iTunes file sharing process can hardly be called seemless, and in no way even approaches what is suggested in the video's :
The video's suggest that when working on a file on one device, then picking up another device the file will show the changes ...
In reality here's what I have to do to make a change on the file on my Mac, share it with the iPhone, then change something on the iPhone and share it back with my Mac :
1. save the changes to the document
2. add the document to iTunes file sharing
3. sync my iPhone
4. open Numbers on my iPhone
5. add the document from iTunes
6. open it
7. make a change
8. sync the iPhone
9. choose "save as ..." in iTunes to overwrite the copy on my Mac
10. open the document in Numbers on the Mac
Guess what ... when making a new change, I have to go back in iTunes, delete the link to the document and add the document again in order to be able to share the change ...
I would expect the syncing with iTunes to at least take care of the file updating on the respective copies on Mac and iOS device ... apparently not so.
Anyone knows how to really make Documents In The Cloud work ?Oops, I forgot a step between 7 and 8 ... before syncing the iPhone I need to explicitly send the document back to iTunes on the iPhone, or the changes won't come over at all ...
and then one more thing ... Numbers on iOS does NOT recognize a number of key features of the OSX app, such as conditional formatting ... so after editing my document on iOS and syncing it back to OSX on my Mac, all of those settings are lost (no more conditional formatting, have to do it all over again)
What am I doing wrong ? -
How do I sync Tasks/To-Do List between a MAC and an iPhone
I am in the process of converting from a Windows PC to a MAC, and from a Blackberry to an iPhone. Today, I use the Outlook Tasks application extensively on my PC which syncs with my Blackberry. I am looking for an application that will provide this same functionality on the MAC and the iPhone. Can someone recommend an application that has a MAC client for Tasks/To-Do List that will sync with the iPhone? I have looked into the new Microsoft Office 11 home and business for the MAC which does provide the MAC client for task, but I have not been able to find an app for the iPhone that will sync the tasks to my iPhone.
Any recommendation would be helpful
Thank you

I have recently upgraded to an iphone 5S 4G and also updated my mac with the latest software so that i can use the icloud to back up all my stuff. It doesn't seem to be working with my contacts at all and recently added ones are disappearing, old ones are duplicating etc. The contacts icloud has the following error message CoreDAVHTTPStatusErrorDomain error 501. and I have no idea what it means. Can anyone help?
I had this problem before. I like to disable extra services to speed up my computer and I disabled the Apple Mobile Device service and had to re-enable this.
You can do that by going Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services. Once you have gone to the services window, look for Apple Mobile Device and right-click. Select "Properties". There should be some information about the service as well as the label "Startup Type" with a drop-down menu beside it. If it says "disabled", that is your problem; Change the selection to anything except disabled (Automatic is easier and ensures that you can sync as soon as itunes opens).
If this doesn't work, I would look into your anti-virus' settings. Good Luck! -
Why doesn't iCal sync properly between my Mac and my iPhone 5?
Every time I connect my iPhone (iOS 6.1) to my Mac (version 10.6.8) with USB cable through i Tunes, I end up getting double entries on one or both devices. The last time I tried this the January calendar on the iPhone was completely wiped out and the time before that the January calendar on my computer was completely wiped out in addition to double entries on the survivng January calendar. A colleague of mine was telling me he has had the same problem and became so disgusted he has given up trying to sync. Right now I am keeping both calendars up to date by hand.
I am completely disgusted w/ Apple at this point!!! I've had my iPhone 5 for about a year now and I've NEVER been able to sync it w/ my pc (yes.......I've tried ALL the suggested fixes for my version of Windows, before anyone else starts regurgitating all the crap I've read thru a dozen times to no avail). Basically.....if you want to really address your problem by 'reinstalling' itunes; you'd better have your schedule for the ENTIRE NIGHT clear because you'll be waiting for itunes to download for a good 5 hours. (occasionally you'll read some knuckle head's feedback, who is probably an Apple employee, saying that it "only takes 5 minutes". I'd highly suggest not even paying attention to these morons!!
Yes I realize that I haven't contributed anything productive to this thread.....yes I realize it will irritate some people.....however they'll need to deal with it because at this point, I'm simply using this thread to 'vent' my frusteration w/ Apple. Horrible update!! Horrible support!! Horrible suggested fixes and even worse acknowledgment of your customer base's problems w/ your product!!! I'm seriously contemplating selling my iphone and going android again. Samsung's looking pretty good right about now!! -
Did Mountain Lion break calendar and note sync between the Mac and iPhone?
When I was running Lion, my calendars and notes synced properly between my Mac and iPhone (with notes going into Mail.app). After upgrading to Mountain Lion, the notes on my Mac were moved into Notes.app and my calendars appeared to be unharmed. I've recently noticed that neither my calendars nor my notes are syncing between my Mac and iPhone.
I use iTunes to sync my data (either via USB or WiFi) and have no interest in moving to iCloud. I have tried the suggestion of enabling iCloud sync on my iPhone, then disabling, as well as telling iTunes to overwrite the calendar data on my iPhone. Neither of these approaches has solved my sync problem.I found a solution to my problem. Hopefully it helps someone else too.
I deleted the following file and folder:
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Sync Changes/
When I synced my iPhone, I was presented with several sync conflicts to resolve. I resolved them and applied the changes immediately. Now my Mac and iPhone are in sync and I've confirmed that changes are syncing from my Mac to my iPhone (I'll confirm that it works the other direction tomorrow when I can look at my calendar at work).
This is the thread that helped me:

My icalendar is not syncing between my mac and iphone
My icalendar is not syncing between my mac and iphone. Everything for icalendar and icloud is turned on for all devices. PLEASE HELP
Settings>icloud. Assuming you have already set up the connection to icloud (ID, password), then turn on Calendars on that screen.
If they don't appear, then log into icloud.com using a computer's browser and look at the calendars page. If empty, then you are not syncing calendars from your device to icloud. If there, then be sure Calendars is turned on in Settings>iCloud or System Preferences>iCloud. -

AirDrop not working between MacBook Pro and iPad/iPhone 5
AirDrop isn't working with new operating system between iOS devices and MacBook Pro. Not sure what to do now. There are no options below on my AirDrop that can select between older Macs and iOS devices
First change airdrop setting from contacts to anyone for testing.
The default level is that contacts only. That means your iPhone contact app has to have the apple id that your iPad currently use, to show the iPad in airdrop of the iPhone.
If above is not your problem, try logout your iCloud account, in Settings-iCloud, then login again. Turn off your iOS devices and re-open it. This can fix problems potentially in iCloud account. My iPhone 5 has that potential problem in iCloud account which asks me many times a day to re-entery my apple id's password, which leads to contacts syncing, which affects airdrop's contact setting, I think. -

I have 2 computers (1 Pc and 1 MAC) and 1 Iphone.The I phone is synchronised with the PC. I want to synchronised it also with my MAC, without erasing all my music and files. Someone can help me to find the answer ?
i have already try the copy/paste thing with the ID of the file "iTunes Music Library.xml" it didn't change a thing. each time I relaunched Itunes, the ID is the first I have in the MAC.
I have more than 5 000 files of music. I don't want to recreate one by one all my playlits.
Many thnaks for your answers.
ConstanceYou can sync iphone with one and only one computer at a time. If you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content form the new computer. There is no way around this.
Put everything on one computer and sync from there.
BTW, you posted in the Home Share forum. Your question seems to have nothing to do with home share. -
Can I use the same apple ID to face time between my Mac and ipad2
I have tried to use FaceTime between my Mac and iPad 2 using the same apple ID and I cannot connect. Do I need two separate apple ID's to do this?
OK SO My original email on my ipad is a .mac ( which is my email from my apple ID)
After reading your advice above I added another email which is a .me email I tried to facetime my husband on his airbook and it would not work. Do I have to eliminate one of the email addresses? And if I do remove it from my Facetime settings on my ipad will it be removed from my macbook pro as well? -
