Notes won't sync from either iPad or iPhone to Macbook Air

So here is my problem. I have a yahoo account that allows my notes to go between my iPad and iPhone no problem, email works great too. BUT my notes won't sync up to my macbook, I've tried creating a new email account but every time I select the "notes" box I get the same error...
IF the stupid error is unknown then is there anyone out there that can tell me the mysteries of this magical unknown error so I can access my notes on my computer..please help. The account is a pop account, does that matter, should it be changed to imap? There are heaps of discussions about this and most of them are rabbit trails.

Which Mac OS and which iOS are you using? Are you having trouble with USB sync or wifi sync or both?

  • My notes won't sync from a google account with the macbook air, but they sync fine on the ipad air and iphone 4s??

    I keep getting this message when I try to sync my notes in a google account this message keeps popping up... mail couldn't discover the account settings.  My mail shows up, contacts and calendar sync fine, and notes from other emails sync fine.  But this one email will NOT let me sync?????? Any suggestions? 

    Go to Settings>Mail Contacts Calendars
    Scroll down to Mail section and find Show. Selecting something different here may solve your problem. Mine says "50 Recent Messages". You may need more.

  • How can I sync apps from my iTunes on Macbook Air without syncing apps from the iPad 2 to my Macbook Air?

    How can I sync apps from my iTunes on Macbook Air without syncing apps from the iPad 2 to my Macbook Air? (As my Macbook Air is only 64GB and my iPad is 64GB and that my Macbook Air only has 40 GB left...) Or is there no other way but to sync apps from iTunes to iPad without syncing apps from iPad to iTunes(it says Backing Up , then it says Converting files to iTunes, then it shows the name of the app on the bottom...)

    Yes, sign in with the same Apple ID as your stolen one in the new iPod Touch.

  • TS4337 I have a Google calendar that is syncing with my iPad and on my MacBook Air. However, the calendar items are not showing up when I access iCloud via the Internet. Any suggestions?

    I have a Google calendar that is syncing with my iPad and on my MacBook Air. However, the calendar items are not showing up when I access iCloud via the Internet. Any suggestions?

    On the iPad tap Settings > iCloud
    Toggle Documents & Data off then back on then restart your iPad.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    On the iMac open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to Documents & Data then reselect it then restart your iMac.

  • My note has stopped syncing between my ipad and iphone

    Note has stopped syncing between my ipad and my iphone. Can anybody help please?

    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.

  • IOS 6.1.3 photo won't sync(from iTunes iPad/iPhone) to  after update

    After update both my iPad and iPhone to 6.1.3 a few days ago, I just found that both devices doesn't have anything in the Photos app! I have a lot of product sample pictures in a few albums, but just can't get them sync to the device anymore! When the sycn started, I can see the albums got created on the device, and the number of pictures need to be sync... it display "Syncing 0 of 1391", after maybe 1 minute, it stopped, nothing get sync.
    I only select the albums I want in iTunes to sync, no event selected... that work perfectly fine before until this update.
    No difference if wire or wifi.
    My wife's iphone got different issue. She sync to her own iMac, when select a few events, all pictures all sync to the phone, but no events created! so all photos all show up in the "Photos", but nothing in "Events".
    Just found that if I select 1 event, I can sync 1 album... but when I try the second time, it didn't work again!. After a lot of combinations of "events" and "albums" selections and many syncs, I finally got the pictures I want to my devices... by the behaviors are very unpredicatable, something definiatelly broken here!
    Anybody see similare issues?

    YES!  Updated to 6.1.3 and can't sync at all.  Either by cable, bluetooth, or wifi.  My mac won't recognize my iphone at all.  Doesn't even show up in finder.  Can't sync anything from iTunes as iTunes won't recognize my iPhone either.

  • My podcasts won't sync from iTunes to my iPhone

    I had been downloading podcasts onto iTunes, with several on auto-subscription, with any new ones auto-transferring to my iPhone each time I plugged it into the laptop via USB.  A couple of days ago, I noticed that no new podcasts were showing up on my phone, checked iTunes against the ones on my phone and saw that several new ones on iTunes hadn't transferred.  I tried a manual sync, which did not work - new episodes visible on iTunes but not on my iPhone.  I tried going into the "Get Info" menu for an individual podcast, as mentioned on one of the other threads, to make sure that it was being recognized as a podcast rather than music or another medium - no change.  I tried advice mentioned in another thread (the user who suggested it readily admitted it was a temporary patch job), of adding all past, present and future episodes of a podcast to ensure I get new ones; I saw old podcasts that I had previously deleted, now eligible for download from the cloud, but none of the newer episodes that I had not yet been able to download.  The iPhone is a 5S, and software on iPhone, iTunes, the laptop (Macbook Pro, uncertain version) and the Podcast app have all been updated since this problem started as part of my attempt at fixing it.
    Any other ideas for things I could do or try?  I can't recall updating any component in the chain (laptop, iTunes, iPhone) recently, nor have I changed any equipment, any iTunes settings, any phone settings, or otherwise.  These podcasts are a big part of what gets me through an hour and a half commute to work each morning, so any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.

    Here's what I think happened because I am in the middle of it right now.  I just bought a ton of videos and also updated my software. I think Apple cleverly decided that now you can not update it without now paying for the Icloud feature that allows you to share all your devices.  You have to click Itunes match, I have never seen it before but when I clicked on it it was 24bucks.  This is actually pretty lame in my opinion because it moved all my stuff off my ipad on to my imac and now im paying another 24 bucks to get it back where I wanted it .

  • ITunes crashes when trying to sync iPad and iPhone to Macbook Air

    I would like to back up iPhone and iPad.  Every time I connect either device to my Macbook Air, iTunes crashes and I have to force quit.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Friends receive different contact information (name/number) when coming from different apple devices (iPhone 4 & Macbook Air)

    Whenever I use iMessage on my iPhone 4 and send messages to my friends they receive the messages just fine and I can also view them in the iMessages app on my Macbook Air, however, whenever i reply to their response via my Macbook Air it doesn't seem to use the same contact information as my iPhone 4. My friends receive a new contact with the message i sent from my Macbook Air. How do i get them to use the same contact information so i can continue a conversation without my friends realizing that im using different devices?

    HI,
    On the iPhone
    Settings > Messages  and adjust the Send From and Received At options
    On the Mac
    Messages > Preferences > Accounts iMessages account
    You may need to go to the Send From drop down at the bottom.
    The Mac version has  Received At check boxes and a separate Send From drop down.
    The issue comes around which type of iMessage the Mac versions see the messages as.
    The chances are that it arrives after the iPhone gets the "original" and therefore is seen as A "Sync copy".
    As this is not an on-going conversation the app regards what you see as a reply and a New Message and Sends From comes in to play.
    You may also have different Received At and Send Froms set up on each device.

  • I want to stop sync of imessage in both iphone and macbook air

    hey guys
    i want to stop the sync of imessages between my macbook air and iphone 4s
    can you people please in doing this

    See this article:
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
    You said "sync", so I think you mean have the iMessages display at the same time on both devices.  If that is what you mean, then
    Settings > Message > Text Message Forwarding > [turn the Mac off] ... on your iPhone.
    Otherwise, if you mean something else, the answer will appear in the article at some other place.

    I just emailed the one note to myself and solved the issue.

  • HT4759 not all my contacts are being sync from my IPad or IPhone to ICloud?

    When backing up IPhone 5s or Mini IPad retina, not all my contacts are backing up or showing in ICloud?

    I assume that you have enabled contacts syncing with iCloud in Settings>iCloud on your devices.  If so, and some of your contacts don't appear on icloud.com, open the contacts app and tap Groups.  Do you have any non-iCloud accounts listed such as On My iPhone (iPad), Gmail, Yahoo or an exchange account?
    Also, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section).  Do you have the Default Account setting there, and if so, what is selected as your default account?

  • TS3991 My iCal on the MacBook Pro (10.6) won't sync with the iPad and iPhone. Help!

    My iPhone and iPad mini communicate great with one another, but I can't seem to get my iCal on the MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8) to sync over the cloud. What should I do?

    iCloud only comes with OSX 10.7.2 or later, you need to upgrade your OS. Go to the Mac App Store and try downloading OSX Mavericks. The store will only let you download it if your computer meets the required specifications.
    If you are told your Mac is not compatible with Mavericks, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU with at least 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
