No sync between my iPod and MacBook

Hi,
I can't sync my iPod with my mac, it doesn't recogniza the iPod, some times doesn't charge. My iPod was repaired some months ago becuse of a card failure due to electrical shock (apparently). after that I change my iBook to a MacBook. I've tried reseting iPod, some times was recognized, but not now. I tried the 5 R's with no success. Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards
Carlos

This is if anyone has the same problem. I've solved it. First I let the iPod up to full charge, later probably will be recognized by the mac, then might begin the sync, choose reset the iPod, will appear an advice you'll lose the library, no problem since you have the back up into your mac. after you can sync with no problem. Hope this will be usefull.

Notes not syncing between iOS devices and MacBook Pro

Notes created on my MacBook Pro and iPad Air are not showing up on my iPhone6 and notes created on my iPhone6 are not showing up on the MacBook and iPad unless I restart my iPhone. The iPad and MacBook are syncing fine just not the iPhone.... all three devices are signed into the same iCloud account and Notes are set to sync on all three devices.

I tried that a few times but it didn't do anything...
It seems to be working now... after I restarted and the notes showed up it still wouldn't show any new ones but they all of the sudden showed up and it's syncing now... So I guess the problem is fixed but I have no idea how!

Sync between Classic iPod and iTunes (10.5.3)

I do hope someone may be able to help me to sort out a mess I've got myself into concerning the transfer of music from iTunes to iPod, and back again. I don't know how it happened, but every attempt I try to untangle things, it only seems to make the problem worse.
Here's what's happening:
1. I have an older list of playlists on my iPod, which I want to update heavily (with the replacement tunes coming from my iTunes playlists);
2. at the same time, the up to date set of playlists on my iTunes I want to transfer to my iPod;
3. unfortunately, one playlist (though still in iPod), has completely disappeared from the iTunes. A complete mystery.
4. the Devices tab down the left hand side seems to come and go at will, depending on whether the iPod and computer are connected via a USB. Is that normal?
So, could I receive the help and advice of Forum members to:
1. transfer songs from the iTunes playlists to my iPod music playlists;
2. get rid of the older playlists currently on my iPod - with the exception of one playlist (see point. 3 above); and
3. advise about the ever-disappearing Devices tab!
I look forward very much to receiving the help from any Forum members. I should add that my computer skills are pretty much in the 0-5 bracket, so replies in simple English would be much preferred. Thank you.

(b) However, there are quite a number of music categories which I don't really want. i.e. Cover Flow, Artists, Albums, Compilations, ?Songs, Genres, Composers. Grateful advice whether I really should keep these lists: I can't see the need for them, though.
(c) In addition, I wonder if you think I need to retain another category of tools in my iPod: i.e. Videos, Photos, Podcasts. What do you think?
I don't believe those can be removed as they are built in to the iPod's software unforunately.
2. iTunes:
(a) By some means unknown to me, my iTunes pages seem to have sorted themselves out roughly. In other words, I have a coherent single Playlist which lists in order some 11 separate catergories of music, as well as the odd "iTunes DJ", whatever that does!
I'm a litte lost on this one. You should be able to view all of your music stored in iTunes by clicking on the Music category at the very top under Library in the left hand pane of iTunes. It sounds like you are referring to the playlists section in the left hand pane of iTunes. ???
I guess the other point to mention belatedly is that my name, under "Devices", only appears after I conect the iPod to the computer's USB. We live and learn!
That's how it is intended to work. Your iPod will only be listed in iTunes when you have it physically connected to a USB port on your PC. This allows iTunes to communicate with the iPod. You can not edit sync settings for the iPod when it is not physically plugged in and appearing in iTunes.
Hope this clarifies at least a few of your questions!

BT Yahoo mail no longer syncs between two iMac and MacBook

I've used BT Yahoo Mail on an iMac, Macbook and iPad successfully for some time with IMAP settings. Following recent upgrades, the inbox is no longer kept in sync on the different computers. Messages read on one computer are not marked as read on the other, and newly arrived incoming mail is not displayed on the second computer, having appeared on the first. The only solution seems to be to rebuild the mailbox - tedious as it takes time, and you don't know until you try whether there is mail to be synced.
I'm using Mail 6.5 (1508) on the iMac, and Mail 5.3 (1283) on the MacBook.
Is there any solution to this please?
Thanks.
Stephen

ICal doesn't sync between my iphone and macbook pro

It takes several hours for my iCal entries to show up on my iPhone, and yet many entries are still incorrectly identified by color (not picking up edits from laptop on iPhone). My iPhone is set to push updates every 15 minutes, and my laptop .Mac preference is to update automatically. Even when I plug in to laptop and sync in iTunes, it does not update iCal from my laptop to my iPhone.
The Apple store geniuses completely replaced my MobileMe account a few weeks ago since they could not get my laptop & iPhone to sync and hadn't been since I opened the account last summer (apparently neither were talking to the cloud). Compared to not working at all, it synced much better after that, though inconsistently and with delay. Help me!!

On your Mac, go to sytem preferences and click on the icloud icon. Turn on iCloud.
When prompted, enter your Apple ID for iCloud. If you don't see a prompt, click the Apple icon at the top left of your screen and choose System Preferences. Click iCloud, enter your Apple ID, and select the services you’d like to enable.
One of the services is ICal.

Syncing mail between iMac G5 and Macbook Pro

I work at home on a G5 and regularly read and then delete or file my emails. I regularly sync between my G5 and Macbook Pro, which I use when traveling. My syncing routine works fine with the address book, calendar, etc., but when I go my Macbook Pro Mail account after syncing, the inbox is still full of mail that I have already read and filed on the G5. Is the syncing routine designed to replicate the mail accounts or do I need to reread, delete, and file the emails on the Macbook as well.
PS: I am using email accounts with cox.net, i.e., not mac.com accounts.
Thanks for any help.

The underlying issue here is that you have chosen to use POP3 rather than IMAP mail accounts. Only IMAP mailboxes are 'synchronized' by default: it is virtually impossible to synchronize POP3 mailbox content.
For a discussion of POP3, IMAP and mail synchronization options, take a look at the Mail & Address Book - Tiger forum located here.

Some mail not syncing between iPod and MacBook

Hello
I have an iPod Touch, 4th gen running the latest version of iOS and a MacBook Pro running OS 10.7.5. Until Friday I had two e-mail accounts that I used every day, and got my messages on both the iPod and the MacBook. I have iCloud set up with an icloud.com address, plus another address not related to iCloud. All my icloud.com message would sync perfectly between my iPod and my MacBook.
On Friday I deleted my other address (the non-icloud one). Now all the messages I received to my icloud address *before or after* Friday sync to my MacBook, but there are three messages that I received on Friday that only appear on my iPod. I would like to see these on my MacBook because that's where I keep old messages for future reference.
Any idea how to fix this? I can forward them to myself, but then the recipient will be me and not the original person. Not a tragic thing, but will be confusing when I try to find them in the future.
Any help will be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Just to be sure I understand your question:
This is with an Apple email account (@iCloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com)?
When this happens, is the mail visible through webmail on iCloud.com (on the desktop browser)?

Syncing Mail Between My iMac and Macbook

I am new to the Mac world (I am a PC convert) and I now have an iMac and a Macbook for work.
I have a couple of questions (some of which belong in this group and some elsewhere but I figured someone here could point me in the right direction):
1. My company's email does not support IMAP, only POP. What is the best way to keep my email clients sync'ed? Ideally I would like my Inbox and all of my folders to be the same on my desktop and laptop and it would be great if it was automated somehow.
2. What is the best way to handle my iPhone? Should I make my Macbook the "Sync Master" and only sync it to that?
3. What is the best way to keep my folders and iTunes sync'ed between my iMac and Macbook? Someone suggested Martian Slingshot as the best way to keep them together. Do other people concur?
Any other advice/experience that people may have on the easiest way to use a Desktop in the office and travel with a sync'ed laptop is appreciated.
As I mentioned, I am very new to the Mac world. I can't really think of any great way to sync them in the PC World either but I am grateful for your help. I know I should have gotten a Macbook Pro but my boss didn't want to get me one so I am stuck with the hardware I have.
Thanks.
Jeremy

What I've done with email in the past is set only one of the machines to delete email from the server (if your company allows you that option). But you need to make sure you check with the one that doesn't delete before the other. You may be able to delete manually as well, so don't delete anything from the server until mail has been downloaded to both (I think this can be done in Apple Mail under advanced prefs). But that won't help with tracking replies, etc. And you'll have to manage mailboxes seperately.
.Mac has a bunch of syncing options, but you may not want to go to that expense.
Sorry I don't have any advice on the other stuff, only running 1 Mac.

Check your Settings on both devices. Is iCloud's calender sync turned on (Settings > iCloud > Calendar)? Please make also sure that you are not only using local calendars.

How do I sync Pages and Numbers between my iPad and Macbook Pro?

I know there is a way to use iTunes to sync my Pages and Numbers files between my iPad and Macbook Pro, but I can't seem to find the app or software or instructions. I've searched iTunes and all I've found are the apps that I already have installed on my iPad. Can someone tell me where I can find the right downloads and instructions? Thank you.

The exact same way as in the old version.
Option 1) Select the content desired to sync and sync.
Option 2) Drag and drop the content onto the device.
If the side bar is needed/desired, typing Cntrl + S will display it.

I want to sync my iphone, ipad, and macbook with the same username and password, is this possible

i want to sync my ipad, iphone, and macbook with the same username and password. is this possible and if so, how do i do it?

You mean with the same iCloud account?
If so, yes this is possible by accessing the iCloud account with the Mail.app on your Mac and with the iPad and iPhone Mail app. This allows for keeping server stored email account mailboxes synced between all three, syncing contacts, calendar events, notes, and Reminders synced between all three, and the same with the iCloud Photo Stream. In addition, you can have music, books, and apps purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store with one device automatically downloaded on the other devices.

HT2729 i downloaded 3 songs to my pc and sync'd my ipod and the songs do not tranfer. is this related to not having the proper itunes version vs ios? I cannot get the songs to sync, but I can move other songs to different playlists and they sync fine...

Hi Dennis!
I have a couple of steps for you to try in order to get those songs transferred to your iPod touch. First, make sure all of your software is updated with the latest versions. If the songs were downloaded from iTunes, you will also want to delete the songs from your library and then download them again from the list of past purchases on your iTunes account. An article about doing that can be found here:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
If you try a sync after those two steps and are still seeing the issue, then I would like you to try syncing the iPod by setting it to manually manage. An article outlining more information on manually managing your iPod sync can be found here:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
If you are still having issues after that, I have another article that can outline some other reasons why your songs may not transfer to your iPod, and it can be found here:
