I have 2 iphones, one for personal and one for business. I need my phones not to sync otherwise they will both ring all the time. How can I log out of my icloud and unsync my phones?

Syncing your phones to the same iCloud account won't cause them to both ring all the time, it only puts the same contacts, calendars, and other synced data on the phone. The phones will only ring with someone calls the number associated with the phone.
If you want to stop using iCloud on one or both of the phones, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then choose Keep On My iPhone when prompted. This will disconnect them from iCloud and keep a copy of the synced data on the phone.

Since installing the latest Itunes my phone does not auto sync as before, how can I set this up?

Since i updated to the newest ITunes my phone does not automatically sync as it did before. I am not able to locate my pictures or music or apps to set to auto sync. I receive no message that tells when the phone was last backed up to ICloud. I have several songs on ITunes under ICloud that are in the waiting status. This is all confusing. I have clicked on every available option.
Thank you

I'm afraid at this point a backup can't be created anymore and the phone has been damaged too much by the water.
You'll have to get it replaced and use the latest existing backup you have.

Email not auto syncing

I set up 2 email accounts on my iPhone (free Yahoo and .mac) using the auto setup feature on the phone. I am able to receive emails, but the "Auto Check" feature is not autochecking. I have tested by sending email from a different account and waited up to an hour (with auto check 15 min enabled) and still nothing. If I go into the email app and check for new mail, the mail will load. I've tried deleting the accounts, and re-entering them, but it didn't work. I have EDGE connectivity, and pretty good wi-fi.
Anybody else run into this?? Any fixes??

My .mac mail is now auto-syncing properly...I didn't do anything, just waited it out and it's working now. My yahoo mail isn't auto-syncing or pushing. I've read some threads that say the free account will push, and some threads that say the free account won't push. Final verdict?

Iphone will not auto sync on new computer

Transfered music to a new computer and now the auto sync feature does not work when my phone gets plugged in. Have check and unchecked boxes, itunes is authorized to new computer.
Window 7 64bit

Have you tried to reinstall iTunes? Also check your Firewall/AntiVir if the process "iTunes Helper" is blocked and take a look if it is currently running in your Task Manager.

Iphone not auto syncing when connected

i have the auto sync when connected option enabled on itunes, but when i plug my phone in, nothing happens.
when i launch itunes, then dis- and reconnect the phone, it's fine and syncs everything. ideas? this just started happening.

I've always had to open iTunes, then plug in phone for it to see it. I've never been able to just plug in my iPhone and watch iTunes get pulled up automatically like with my iPod. I just figured this is normal.

Can not "Auto" "Sync" "Podcasts"

Can not automatically sync my podcasts. Got new/replacement iphone 3GS phone recently.
Set up as NEW and reloaded everything. However, my podcasts wont sync. Ihave to manually "Drag and drop".

I find the same to be true for me, and it's really frustrating. I used to be able to sync by checking the little boxes next to the episodes I wanted, choose to only update those selected, played or unplayed, and update worked fine. Now that choice is gone, replaced by "last 10" or last 10 unplayed" etc. There is a knowledge base document:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesMac/7.0/en/900.html
that states:
"To load podcasts onto your iPod manually, deselect Sync and drag podcasts or podcast episodes from your Podcasts playlist to the iPod icon in the iTunes window (below Devices). "
This functionality doesn't function in 7.0. Maybe in 7.0.1????? How soon???????
OK! OK! TIME OUT!
Last night I tried the dragging action, but with no apparent results. But somehow, 419 "songs" appeared on my iPod from nowhere, and I couldn't seem to determine where they were. duh! So now, I just tried going into the song list by Genre to podcast, and, lo and behold, there are all the missing podcasts I dragged there! but they don't show up in tyhe normal podcast area. I need to go home from work, reconnect the iPod to the Mac, and determine where they are. I'll update here when I do find out!!!!!

Windows Mail App not Auto Syncing

Hey guys, I'm having an issue with the Windows Mail app on both my laptop and Surface RT. I'm running 8.1 on both and I've recently ditched Gmail in favor of Outlook.com. Right now my Gmail accounts are forwarding to Outlook. However, I still sign in to
my computers using my Gmail account (not sure if that matters). Ever since I eliminated my Gmail accounts from the Windows mail app, the app will not automatically sync with Outlook.com when I receive messages. The only time I get updates is if I manually
sync. Yes, I have set the email account to "download as items arrive". I have restarted my computers, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the mail app. Not sure what else to do. Help!

Hi,
Accrording to your description,the issue occurred on both your laptop and Surface RT.
So,I think the issue isn't related to Windows mail app.
In addition to ZigZag3143x mentioned, I suggest you create a new mail account to test this issue.
If it works,I suggest you remove your outlook.com account and re-add it.
Regards,

How can I get my phone not to sync with my outlook calendar?

Can someone please help?

Use sync cable to access itunes on your computer. Click on the phone under devices, click on the info tab in itune and it will bring up a window that allows you to select what the phone syncs with. You can select outlook or any other program you have on your computer. That includes Contacts, Calendars, Mail and notes. This infor is for a PC computer.

Windows 7 and Desktop software not auto-syncing

I have a BB Bold 9700, Windows 7 Ultimate, and latest desktop software from BB site. The issue is that the sync doesn't start when device connected. I have to manually initiate the sync and it works fine. When I was using Windows XP and I connected my device, the hardware was detected and the sync process started automatically...as it should. I have ensured that the "synchronize the selected items when your device is connected to the BlackBerry Desktop Manager" is selected. I even disabled that, shut it down, restarted it and reenabled it to see if that would work and it didn't. As I said, the phone syncs fine when initiated manually, but it won't start on its own.
Any help would be appreciated.

Versamail Auto-sync feature not working with AOL mail w/Treo 700p (Verizon)

I'm having a problem with the Auto-sync feature not working with my 700p (verizon) with my aol mail. It had worked perfect since May 2007. Just started having problems End of April 2008. Sounded like I needed another incoming mail server from aol other than: imap.aol.com, aol told me they also use pop.aol.com, that isn't working either. I get an error message that says "last auto-sync attempt failed."....Anyone else having this issue? I'm trying to decide whether to get rid of my aol mail of 14 yrs and use other address to continue using versamail 3.5 or keep aol and use Verizon Wireless sync. I do not like how wireless sync sends mail to outbox and then syncs vs sending right away. Please help...
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)

I am having the EXACT same problem: Palm 700p, Versamail, AOL, Verizon.
It started about 1 month ago. The GET still works, but AUTO-SYNC does not...After spending hours on the phone with Palm tech support, and reaching someone who said AOL had changed something in their servers. They suggested TRYING Chatteremail, another Palm product. I have tried it for 20+ days out of the 30 days you get for free. It works pretty well, but NOT every e-mail that goes to my AOL acct is making it to my phone. The thing that's great about Chatter is that can be "live" all of time. Not auto-syncing every 15 minutes.
It's very frustrating....The same way the Versamail just stopping auto-syncing is very frustrating. With Versamail, sometimes I did not even get the error message. If Chatteremail worked consistently, I would bite the bullet, and pay for it, but to pay for it, and have it not pull down all the e-mails, all the time is not good.
I spoke to Palm Tech Support in N. America today, and they say the way AOL uses IMAP servers is in a non-traditional way, and it's very hard to deal with. They suggest ditching AOL, and using something reliable for syncing purposes like GMAIL. It's just hard to cut the cord. The man I was on the phone with knew of my problem, and he solved it by getting rid of AOL. It's just tough, since so many people have the e-mail address for me.
On http://mobile.aol.com/aolproducts/mobile-email/mail-client
there seems to be some indication when you click on Smart Phones on left, that Coming Soon is Palm, but I don't know if that's going to be downloadable for 700p, or Palms moving forward. Or how far away that is.
I tried wireless sync and hated it.
This is really a pain in the butt.
*** Who did you speak to at AOL?
*** How did you reach them? e-mail? phone #?
I also did a search and found another program called "Snappermail", which I might try, and see if it's any better than Chatteremail.

Itunes 10 will not stop auto syncing

I have itunes 10 on a mac and a 160 gb ipod classic.
it will not stop auto syncing when I plug in my ipod, even though "do not auto Sync" button is checked as well as checking off "do not open itunes automatically.
It syncs FOREVER. I would love to find a way to stop this from happening. I dread plugging in my ipod to put on new music etc.

I have had this problem with Windows 7 and iTunes updates for some time. Each time it takes hours to solve but with the over the air upgrade to IOS6 on my iPhone and iPad, I was determined to solve and remember what I did, So here it is:

Auto sync vs auto start

before itunes 9 I was able to set my iphone to auto start and not auto sync, now if auto sync is checked to turn it off, auto start is grayed out and my iphone will not start when plugged in? Does anyone know if this is a new feature for 9.0.1 or is it a bug?

"Secondly, I don't know how to get the SD version without paying for it a second time. Can you tell me how to do that?"
This is not part of the sync process at all. You import these as you would from any digital camera.
" I delete the music off my computer once I upload it to my portable devices to conserve memory."
Not a good idea. The iphone is not a storage device. It is meant to mirror the selected content on your computer. You are asking for problems if you delete the music from itunes.
"Is there a way to organize music without syncing?"
You can manually manage, but if the music is not in itunes you will likely run into problems at some point.
" If I change the settings to manually manage music and videos, will it delete all the photos and videos I currently have synced? "
It should not erase the photos and videos from your computer ( home videos and pics). It will erase the current itunes music and videos.
"If I go to manually manage will those videos on my camera roll get erased? "
No. Camera roll is not part of the sync process. It is temporary storage for vids/pics until you can import them to your computer.
"If I change to manually manage, will apps be manually managed too? How do you go about manually managing apps? "
I do not believe that you can manually manage apps.
Here is an article on Manually managing:
If I change to manually manage, will apps be manually managed too? How do you go about manually managing apps?
"Since the phone won’t be synced anymore, how do I do a back up and restore? What information does a back up save? How do I restore from that back up? "
Apps and music are not part of the backup. You can read about the backup here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
"If I ever wanted to go back to syncing, will everything get erased again?
Yes.
