Pictures don't upload onto my macbook air from ipad and iphone via icloud

The pictures I take on Iphone and Ipad often just don't transfer to my macbook air via Icloud. Some do, some don't, its very
inconsistent - some just never upload.
Any ideas? I think that all the settings on all machines are correct..! :-)
thanks,
Russell

Hi Russell,
I'm assuming you have iCloud activated on your Mac. Try signing out & then logging back in on your Mac. Are you using Photostream within iPhoto or Aperture...or both?

I use a pc. i keep getting a server error messge trying to upload photos to my iPad and iPhone via iCloud. the error states can't update photostream, server error.

uploading worked in the beginning, but in the last few days it has not. how should i proceed.

Go into Settings, iCloud on your iPad & iPhone. Turn streaming on there. I did that when I first set up my phone & iPad & have not had any problems. It will only stream over new photos so take one on your phone & see what happens. I hope that works for you.

How do i get pictures from my macbook to my iPad and iPhone?

I have pictures FROM my Macbook and would like to get some of them to my iPad and iPhone via iCloud. I get things from my iOS devices TO my Macbook Pro. I know I must be missing a step somewhere and being a Techie aka Nude it is really an irritant . I recently have moved from a PC to an Apple so easily frustated when I can't sit down to a computer and take off. Please help.

If you mean by adding them to photostream, just select the photos you want to add in iPhoto and choose photostream from the share menu.

I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint, only a WIFI printer,my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ?

I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint at home but only a WIFI printer, my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ? Please help me if anyone knows about this.

Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.

I have an ipad and iphone sharing icloud. The ipad is using 268mb, the iphone 2.6. My plan is 5gb but it keeps saying I don't have enough space to back them up. How is this possible?

I just downloaded Adobe XI onto my macbook air and now I cannot save or print any PDF files. Will not let me do Print-Save as PDF, and if i do Save as i get a message saying that the file is corrupted. I had NO PROBLEMS at all doing this many times until i downloaded the new version. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, to no avail. I am super frustrated.
Print>Save as PDF - uses Preview (part of OS X), so Adobe Reader should have no effect on that at all.
As to the "damaged file" error, simply uninstalling the Reader app won't affect it. Do the following:
Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files
Mac HD/Applications
Trash the Adobe Reader app
[user]/Library/Preferences
Trash the com.adobe.Reader.plist file
To access the [user]/Library, hold the "Option" key and click "Go" from the FInder menu.
Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Trash the Reader folder (the whole folder)
Empty the Trash.
Download the FULL installer here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
Quit your browser and reinstall Reader.
Launch it from the Applications folder and accept the license agreement.
You should have no problems downloading PDFs with Safari.
Unfortunately, ANY PDF that says it's damaged.... is. You'll have to trash them.

MacBook Air Messages Application and iPhone 6 Messages not synching

Hello,
I have an iPhone 6 and just purchased a MacBook Air (OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2)
I am having trouble getting the Messages Application on the MacBook Air synching with my iPhones messages. A few contacts don't show up on the Messages application on my computer and sometimes messages take time to come through.
This might be a separate issue but my Calendar is also taking time synching. This seems more of a delay issue.
Thank you for your time in advance!!!

Setting up a new TC. Everything went fine. I was able to connect a macbook air, 2 ipads, an Iphone 6, and even a windows 7 PC. All devices showed a complete and functioning internet connection, but none of the devices could access the internet.

I am trying to set up internet connection to my home using a 3gig Airport time capsule as a router. I unplugged the cable from the existing router, and plugged it into the ethernet port of the TC. The TC fired up found tttttttthe internet connection, and glowed green. I set up the password, and all, and was then able to connect a Windows 7 PC, 2 ipads, and iphone 6, and a macbbook air, all running the most current os. All devices connect with the internet via the Airport device. they all say that there is a fully functioning internet connection, but none of them can actually connect to the internet. When I run a speed test via OKLA I am told that the test failed to innatiate.When I try to do a search I get an error message that the page cannot open because safari cannot make a secure connection to the server.
Any suggestions?

Inside the house I have what looks like a phone cable that is plugged into a power supply, and into a router.
What is this router?? Is it the TC or a router supplied by the ISP?
It will depend on how the system works.. but the instructions from skybeam are fairly simple.. you just setup a router with dhcp set on the WAN port for connection.
On the airport utility open your TC by clicking it then clicking edit.
Make sure the WAN is set correctly and the ISP ethernet cable is plugged into it.
And make sure Network is set to DHCP and NAT.
Please give me the screenshots of the same things from your setup.

HT201335 AirPlay Mirroring is working from iPad and iPhone, but not from Macbook Pro. How to fix?

I can see and activate AirPlay Mirroring from Macbook but nothing displays on the TV when mirroring is activated (screen changes from Apple TV menu to blank screen only). I have 3rd generation Apple TV and a brand new Macbook Pro, so AirPlay Mirroring is supported by both devices. I can display video content on the TV from my MacBook from iTunes by selecting to display on Apple TV instead of my computer, but it does not work for mirroring.
For reference, when I activate AirPlay Mirroring from iPad or iPhone, it works perfectly and content is displayed on my TV.
Has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?

Migrate to MacBook Air from iMac and keep them synched

Dear Mac Geniuses -
I have an iMac (24'' early 2009 model) and am thinking of getting a MacBook Air (haven't decided on the 11.6'' or 13.3'' version yet, but tilting towards the smaller size) when we go to the States for Xmas for about a month from overseas. I also have a 2 TB TimeCapsule which acts as the router and backs up my 640 GB iMac hard drive.
Since my iTunes, Photos and loads of personalized content is on the iMac (which I won't bring with me to USA, when I buy the MBA), I would love to take the TimeCapsule and restore from it.
This would be the first time I would use the TimeCapsule for this purpose, so I would appreciate some advice:
1. Is it possible to restore from TC to MBA with my iMac configuration?
2. What's the best way to manage the 640 GB on the iMac v the 128 GB (or 256 GB on 13'') on MBA? I have a couple of 500 GB hard drives I could use.
3. Once I am back from USA, is there a way to sync back the changes we made in iTunes, FlipVideo, Photos?
4. Is there a way to maintain two versions of iTunes, Photos, etc?
I appreciate that questions 3 & 4 are mostly on a different topic than 1&2, and are thus lesser priority. What I need to figure out in the next two weeks is how to take all I need from my iMac for the duration of the trip.
Thanks everyone!
BR,

How do I create a clone on the external HD that can be used by Setup Assistant
The Restore tab of Disk Utility (see #7 in [Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html]), or 3rd-party apps CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper.
[CarbonCopyCloner|http://www.bombich.com> is donationware; [SuperDuper|http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html] has a free version, but you need the paid one (about $30) to do updates instead of full replacements, or scheduling.
(and more importantly, is there a way to select what wil be put on that clone)?
You really don't need to, since +Setup Assistant+ lets you omit certain things.
You can't omit things with Disk Utility. You can wIth CCC and SD, but since you're going to use this with +Setup Assistant,+ omit only things inside the top-level folders inside user home folders (such as Pictures, Movies, Music), not those folders themselves. CCC is pretty intuitive, and has pretty good help, too. I don't use SD, but I understand it's also easy to use.
I guess the alternative method is to create a TimeMachine backup on my external 500 GB hard drive. Is there a way to select what I back up to it?
You can omit things there, too, via +Time Machine Preferences > Options.+ For this purpose, though, I'd go with the clone, since you can start up from it to be sure it works, and everything you didn't omit is there and working properly.
The backups on your Time Capsule will be your "insurance" in case something awful happens.
If you don't already have a portable external, I can recommend the LaCie "Rugged" series: http://www.lacie.com/us/products/range.htm?id=10036 I have one of these, as do several other folks here, and they get good reviews, too. They claim you can drop one +2.2 meters+ without damage. I do a lot of testing, but have no intention of testing that.

Macbook Air (Mid-2013) and iPhone 5s IOS version 8.1 won't connect via bluetooth, anyone know how to fix this problem?

I have a Macbook Air running OS-X Yosemite and an iPhone 5s running IOS version 8.1. Every time I try to connect the devices via bluetooth is won't connect saying my Macbook Air isn't supported when in actuality it is. Anyone know how to fix this issue? I have restarted both my Mac/Iphone and have turned bluetooth on/off and nothing seems to help. Bluetooth pairing didn't work before I updated to IOS 8.1 so I doubt that is the issue here.

Pairing an iPhone to a computer (Mac or Windows) is only supported for personal hotspot (sharing the iPhone's cellular internet connection) and then only if your cellular plan supports it. More information: Bluetooth: Why can't I pair my iPhone or iPad with my computer?

Macbook Air - USB port and iPhone 4 Madness

Hi there, I have a brand new 2013 macbook air, love the weight and speed - but - I'm running still 10.8.5 and have the iphone 4,
plug into the usb ports and the iphone goes crazy with on / off charging and buzzing, i repeat that a few times and it calms down
has anyone had issues with older iphone 4 and the usb ports on the latest Macbook Air? I have the news itunes now installed also,
but no help
thanks, its truly freaky, going to sit it out until 10.9.1 is out, as my girlfriends Macbook Air has now Mavericks and its acting up on the Mail app,

Hello null.
I have OS Mavricks installed on my MBA 2013 and I have the same issue with my iPhone 4s. I noticed that when my iPhone is charged about 60% or 61% and above it connects normally without any issues, so the solution at the mean time is to charge it to that percentage and above and then connect it, Weird!

HT4236 How do I transfer videos taken on my camera from my MacBook Air to iPad or iPhone

I have been able to transfer the photos from Iphoto to my Iphone and Ipad but the videos I have taken on my Panasonic camera will not transfer to the Iphone or Ipad. I was advised to drag them to Itunes - that does not work. Is there an easy way to do this?

Your videos are saved in Photos. There is no storage capability in the Apple TV. You can only view them by streaming the videos via Air Play. Use AirPlay to wirelessly stream content from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
I don't know which iPad you have so this may not apply but if you want transfer your videos to your iPad follow the steps in this article: iMovie for iOS (iPad): Transfer video and photos between devices
