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!

FaceTime between iOS devices and MacBook Pro!!!

I just got a MacBook Pro and tried to receive FaceTime call from my iphone and ipad.
Whenever a FaceTime call is coming into my MacBook, the ring is played and the green camera LED was switched on. The FaceTime icon on the docks showed that the app was on now. However, no display popped up to for me to answer of reject. Even i clicked the icon on docks, nothing happened. It rang until the call ended. And, the green light continued to glow.
What has happened? Can anyone explained to me? The FaceTime is switched on in preference. Help.

IBooks do not sync between iOS devices

I have used iBooks since '10 and it has worked up until the latest release fairly well. My problem is iBooks no longer syncs the last or furthest page read as it once did. Kindle does this without a problem but the iBooks application does not function.
Both iOS devices are signed in with the same Apple ID.
Example: I download a book on iBookstore to my iPad. I read the book to page twenty, exit to the home screen, then put the iPad to sleep. Later, I open the same book on the iPhone, and the book is still on page one. The page does not change to page twenty. I open iBooks on the iPad, and the page changes to page one (to match the iPhone).
I am continuously losing my place in the book. I contacted AppleCare and was told (paraphrasing) that there was nothing they could do since there is no sync button, everything is supposed to be done automatically.
Please advise if you have any advice here. I will not be purchasing any iBooks until the issue is resolved.
Thanks!

I contacted AppleCare and was told the following...
The only time iBooks will sync is when pressing the Library button to close the book and return to the iBooks library.
Press the Home button
Press the Home button and completely close the app (double-tap home button, swipe up on iBooks)
I have tried everything and they are sending an escalation to their engineers for an update. Until then, no news and nothing left to report.
I tested this same issue with Kindle and Google Books; Kindle syncs only the furthest page read, Google Books syncs the current page read (as iBooks is supposed to do), and it works reliably in both cases.
I'm guessing this is a bug in the iBooks app as I did not have this issue with iBooks since iPad 1 in 2010.

Notes sync between iOS devices problem

Whenver I create notes on my iphone, they sync to my ipad, but when I create them on my ipad, they do not sync to my iphone. My ipad is on ios 7 and my iphone is on ios 5. Is this the reason why?

On the ipad go to settings and notes and make sure that default notes are the same as on your phone.

IMessage not syncing across iphone, ipad and macbook pro

I was recieving messages to my ipad at my mobile number. But they were not being recieved on my phone or my macbook. I then signed out and back into imessage on my phone as I saw that the number did not have a tick next to it. That has got me recieving numbers again on my phone but now I am not recieving messages to my ipad on macbook. I logged out on my macbook and the imessage crashed - when I relaunched and logged back in the names against the messages had all disappeared as it had reset the message threads to "bonjour", even though this was disabled in settings. Is there a way to set them all back to my apple account? I am also still not recieving incoming messages to my phone number on the computer. Or messages in my iPad. Please can someone help?
Thanks

Read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data.
Quit Messages if it’s running.
Step 1
Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following item from the Library folder (it may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.Messages
Leave the Library folder open. Try Messages again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder.
Step 2
If you still have problems, quit Messages again. Go back to the Finder and move the following item from the open Library folder to the Desktop:
Messages
Note: you are not moving the Messages application. You’re moving a folder named “Messages.”
Test. If Messages now works, delete the Messages folder on the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Messages again. Put back the folder you moved, overwriting the newer one that may have been created in its place, and continue.
Step 3
In the Preferences subfolder, there may be several files having names that begin with "com.apple.iChat". Move them all to the Desktop.
Also in the Preferences folder, there's a subfolder named "ByHost". Open it and do the same thing.
Test again. This time Messages should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. You may be able to put back some of the files you moved to the Desktop in this step. Relaunch and test after each one. Eventually you should find one or more that causes Messages to malfunction. Delete those files and recreate whatever settings they contained.
If the issue is still not resolved, quit Messages again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were. You don’t need to replace the files you deleted in step 1. Stop here and post again.
If you later decide that you don’t like the results of steps 2 and 3, you can undo them completely by quitting Messages and restoring the items you deleted in those steps from your backup.

Keyboard shortcuts do not sync between iOS devices

I use keyboard shortcuts a lot - mainly because im lazy but also because I have fat thumbs and tend to make lots of spelling mistakes. Prior to upgrading to iOS 8.1.1 I had the same problem reported elsewhere that my shortcuts kept disappearing but after the upgrade that no longer happens (touch wood). Now however I find that if I add a new shortcut to my iPhone 4s, it doesn't get synced to my iPad mini. Both devices are running iOS 8.1.2 and both have iCloud drive enabled and signed in to the same Apple account. I've tried doing a hard reboot on both devices, signing out and back into iCloud. Not sure what else to try. Any ideas?

Please help

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.

Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

I think I may be having the same issue In a round about kind of way. Just got an iPhone4S ... everything worked great until today when I started tinkering with the settings in my new phone and noticed my cloud was getting full and I had two iPhone back ups on there at 4GB a piece. So.... I deleted the old back up of the iPhone4 and after that is when I started noticing issues. The cloud on my phone can no longer authenticate itself , unable to tell me when the last back up was, and will not perform a back up at all. Furthermore I am unable to download apps or updates on my iphone4S, they all sit in "waiting" status....
I also must say that I purchased an iPad 2 and still have my original ipad in the house and active. Both back ups are in the cloud and both devices work fine independently and can download apps and back up fine as well. I'm pretty sure this may be the culprit concerning this issue and I too have no idea how to fix it. Please Help!!!

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 used to work between my iMac and MacBook Pro. Now, when I try to transfer a file (either direction) I get a message that my certificate is invalid or that the file has not been accepted. What do I do?

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.
