Photos, calendar entries, contacts not synching between my iPad, iPhone, and PC. Was working a few weeks ago!

Until a few weeks ago, any photo I saved on my iPad automatically showed up on my computer. The same with changes to contact information, calendar entries, etc. If I made the changes/additions on one device it automatically showed up on the other. Now, that doesn't happen. What do I need to check/fix to get that working again?

im in the same situation except, i cant even load my old backup onto my phone, itunes gives me an error message, no number, and acts like there was no problem, syncs all my music and i have to use my phone as a new one, i have no contacts or anything now, and i cant even go back to 4.3.5 now, that wont even let me, itunes keeps making errors.....

Anyone having issues syncing iPhone with Microsoft Outlook 2007? iTunes says it is syncing but it will not update calendar or contacts. It just stopped working a few weeks ago.

Anyone having issues syncing iPhone 3GS with Microsoft Outlook 2007? iTunes says it is syncing but it will not update calendar or contacts. It just stopped working a few weeks ago.

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only person struggling with exact issue. I've rebooted, upgraded, re-installed, pulled all my hair out as nothing works.
The biggest dissapointment with this thread is that nobody seems to have responded with a solution.
And yes I've managed to pull together enough intellegence to tick the box "sync to outlook" in iTunes - still nothing man.
Definately does not sync from phone to PC and is very hit and miss on PC to Phone. In other words now running 2 seperate calendars - Not helpful Jan.

Only some of my photo's are syncing from iPhoto to my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV.

Only some of my photo's are syncing from iPhoto to my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV.
It may be my own fault due to learning Aperture and playing around with the locations of the Master Files.
The thing I don't understand is that when in iPhoto all thumbnails of all photo's are able to be enlarged / edited etc. When a thumbnail is clicked on there is no gray triangle with an exclamation mark indicating that the link to the original photo can't be found. I would have thought this was ok for syncing to take place.
When trying to sync through iTunes to my iPad for example (after some photo's have been synced) a window comes up saying "Some of your photos, including the photo “_MG_3820.jpg”, were not copied to the iPad “Mark Harlen’s iPad” because they cannot be displayed on your iPad".
I thought this may be due to lack of memory space but my Apple TV (which has the same issue but not the same warning window) has over over 100 free GB's so that can't be it.
When I did a test and re imported one photo that wasn't being synced to my other devices, that photo consequently was then synced so maybe it has something to do with the path through iPhoto to the original files.
Is there any way I can re establish these links with out having to create an entire new iPhoto library from the originals (I have a lot of albums and have done a lot of editing etc and don't and want to have to do it all again).
I look forward to you help and advice
Mark

Thanks for the advice but it didn't seem to work
I've decided to try ditching iPhoto and orgainising, syncing my photo's to all devices from Aperture
I have so far imported over 1200 photo's (relocating and renaming the master files as well) and find that when syncing through iTunes only 209 photo's are listed. The Projects/Albums are there but some indicate that there are 0 photo's in them when I know other wise (at least according to whats happing in Aperture)
I'm starting to suspect it may be a computer problem
Any thoughts?
Regards
Mark
PS: Just after posting this I restarted my computer, went into iTunes and my Apple TV started to sync. It was now syncing 854 photo's not 209 as before.

It does sound like the logic board. It's not uncommon for an iBook with a faulty logic board to work intermittently. You can't count on it, though. It could fail completely at any time.
DT&T Computer Services in Fremont, California has the best deal I've found on logic board replacements. They do free diagnostics, so they would make sure that's what you need, and there is a six-month warranty on the repair.

I'm always a little sad that people are basing their opinions of Macs on these older iBooks. Yours is the newest iBook in existence, but it's still over five years old — ancient in computer terms.

Text messages not synching between my iPad and iPhone

How do I synch the text messages between my iPhone and my iPad. I just sent a text message to an individual using my iPhone 5 and the reply appeared on my iPad only. I also have a whole text conversation sent today that only appears on my iPad and not my iPhone.

Hi jathom,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you are sending and receiving iMessages as the messages are received on your iPad.
Since these messages are not being received on your iPhone as expected, these steps are a good place to begin troubleshooting:
If you aren't receiving iMessages across all iOS devices
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on each iOS device and make sure that you signed in with your Apple ID. You must use the same Apple ID on each device.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By iMessage At and make sure that you selected each phone number and email address you want to use with iMessage.
If you linked a phone number to your Apple ID with iMessage and the phone number hasn't appeared, followthese steps.
Sign out of your Apple ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and Settings > FaceTime on all devices.
If you're linking a phone number to an Apple ID, sign in to iMessage on your iPhone first. Then sign in to the rest of your device one by one with iMessage and FaceTime.

Installing Maverick on my Mac lost almost all of the calendar entries. They are still on my iPhone and new entries move freely to both devices via iCloud. How do I get the entries from my iPhone to iCloud without losing them from iPhone?

Like many others after I installed Maverick I found that all the calendar history has been lost and most of the forward info has also been lost. Also in order to get calendar, contacts and notes to sync with the iPhone I have had to move to iCloud. Contacts and notes sync fine. new calendar entries sync ok. My iPhone has all the calendar entries that were on the Mac before I installed Maverick. So far iCloud has not overwritten them nor have they synced onto iCloud.
How can I get all the entries from my iPhone onto iCloud, without losing the only copy of my calendar from my iPhone?
Thanks Apple for deciding to take over my privacy. I do not want this data stored on a US based server. Fortunately Mail still syncs via my own email provider. I guess Apple will find a way to stop that soon too!

Greetings Nefertiti72,
It seems you are experiencing an issue with contact syncing and management. It seems you've removed an email account which contained a number of contacts that are not associated with your iCloud account. I have linked to a knowledge base article which provides more information about iCloud contacts syncing:
Get help using iCloud Contacts - Apple Support
Learn what to do if you’re having issues using iCloud Contacts. For example, you might make changes to Contacts that don't update across all of your devices.
You may want to consider importing the contacts from the email account you removed. You can do it easily by following the steps in this article:
iCloud: Import a vCard
You can import an electronic business card, also called a vCard, into iCloud Contacts. If the vCard contains contact information for more than one person, each contact becomes a separate entry.
In iCloud Contacts, choose Import vCard from the Action pop-up menu , which appears at the bottom of the All Contacts list or a list of group contacts
Select a vCard to import.
The contacts from the vCard are added to the All Contacts group in Contacts. You can add the contacts to any other group by dragging them to the desired group.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Best,

My address bar does not autocomplete. Running Windows XP and it was working but not now. How do I start the autocomplete?

My computer crashed and it has been restored. I am running Windows XP and I did not re-install Firefox Aurora after the computer was restored with new motherboard and HDs. All of my software works, but the autocomplete does not. Firefox remembers my username for logging in and my password. It is just the autocomplete. I have to completely type in the website name. When I open the History and Bookmarks window, there are no entries. The yellow star in the address bar also does not work. When I click on it, nothing happens.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Please report back soon.

Sharing iCal between my iPad, iPhone and my wife's iPhone

I use iCal on my iPad 2 and my iPhone 4 and my wife uses it on her iPhone 5, we both have our own Apple id's and would like to sync the calendars to each other to make our lives easy. Is there a way of doing this?

However, how do I get the updates to my Mac? -
Open System Preferences > iCloud
Make sure Documents & Data is selected
On your iPad and iPhone. Tap Settings > iCloud
Make sure Documents & Data is selected.
Now your documents created with Pages should sync via Wi-Fi on your Mac and iOS devices.

How do I share Pages between my iPad, iPhone, and Mac

I purchased Pages for my iPhones and iPads, and I set up documents on iCloud. I uploaded Word documents to iWork from my Mac and have accessed them and modified them using my iPhone and iPad -- all works pretty well. However, how do I get the updates to my Mac? -- it looks like I have to download them, then re-upload them if I make changes on my Mac. Can I use Pages (or some other program) on my Mac to implement real-time updating without download/upload?

Compressor will not import any file. Anybody have an idea? It was working fine 2 weeks ago.

Compressor will not let me import any type of file. I can not export a sequence from Final Cut through Compressor either. Anyone else have this problem or have a soulution. It was working 2 weeks ago.

.. but my history window does not fuction.
It makes sense that past history is gone as it is blown out as part of the compressor repair process.
Or, do you mean Compressor does not keep track of current projects added to the que (aka history)?

Can i share my videos and/or music between macbook, iPad, iPhone, and apple tv?

currently the only thing i know how to do is play videos from my macbook iTunes onto my apple tv. id like to be able to watch/listen to this content on my iPad and iPhone also,without using airdrop....id like to share, not transfer, necessarily. id like to it play both purchased and files downloaded from other sources. are there some settings to be able to accomplish this or maybe a 3rd party app i could download? any advice would be appreciated. thank you.
m

If the music and videos are in your Mac's iTunes library then you should be able to use home sharing to access them in the Videos and Music apps on your iPad and/or iPhone.
If you have the same account enabled in home sharing on your Mac's iTunes (File > Home Sharing menu option) and on your iPad or iPhone (Settings > Music >Home Sharing or Settings > Videos > Home Sharing), they are connected to the same wifi network, and iTunes on your Mac is open, then you should get a Shared option in the Music and Videos apps on the device (top right of the Videos app ; possibly via the More button bottom right of the Music app)

Why is Numbers on Mac OS X 10.10 not opening files was working about a week ago, my iPhone numbers is still opening and working with the files?

This is what message I get when trying to open on my Mac OS X 10.10 (The file “Record of Work Nov28-Dec11-2014.numbers” couldn’t be opened), which the same file that can be opened from my IOS 8.1 iPhone.
Seriously *** gives

The most likely reason you can't open this file is that you are using an old version of Numbers. It's easy to accidentally attempt to open your document with the previous version (V2).
In rare cases, the document can be corrupt and your only recourse is to grab a backup copy.

Sync iTunes between 2 macs, iPhone and iPad

Hi,
I had 1 macbook, iPhone and iPad. I had synched my iTunes with all these devices. Recently i bought one more mac book and i would like to synch my iTunes with the new macbook. When i connect my iPhone or iPad to the new macbook my iTunes are not getting synched.
I had the home sharing option turned on and now I am able to view the iTunes library in my new macbook only when i have the iTunes turned on in my old macbook. If i close the iTunes in my old macbook, iTunes in the new macbook is not able to access the songs.
Without having my old macbook turned on, is there a way that i can synch my iTunes with the new macbook.
Basically i would like to keep my iTunes synched between 2 macs, iPhone and iPad.
Old Macbook Pro - 13 inch - OS X Yosemite - Version 10.10
iPhone - 5S - iOS 8.1
iPad Air Mini - Version 8.1
Old Macbook Pro - 15 inch - OS X Yosemite - Version 10.10
Thanks
Srinraj

I've done this manually. Someone may have an AppleScript, who knows?
Turn on File Sharing on both computers (really only needed on the machine with the songs). I presume you have a network connecting the two computers, AirPort?
From Finder on the MPB, select Network (make sure "Connected Servers" is selected in Finder Preference / General). Attach to the source computer's HD so you can see the folder containing the iTunes music.
Launch iTunes on your MPB.
Make sure "Preferences / Advanced / Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized" is CHECKED.
Select "Add to Library" in iTunes on the MPB, navigate to the mounted folder from the source, and select the albums or songs you want to bring over. I do a sort on "time" to find the newer additions to my iTunes Library.
You can multi-select, etc. using the usual Apple conventions.
iTunes will crank a while, and copy the files from your server to your MPB.
Good luck!

Successfully using Exchange to Sync iPad, iPhone, Gmail (PC) contacts. If I lose my iPhone and contacts were erased I would lose them everywhere! Backup!

I am successfully using Exchange to keep my contacts in sync on my ipad,iPhone and gmail(windows 7). But I think that if I lost my iPhone and someone cleaned out the contacts,then I would also lose the contacts on my Gmail and iPad. How can I do a regular backup of the contacts?

Im not sure that you can restore your Google Contacts from the iPhone Backup.
Try this: Go to gmail page on your desktop browser then in Contacts, click More and select "Restore Contacts".
