Reverting to older iphone, but syncing with latest info...
i dropped my iphone 4 in water and it's dead. i don't want to buy a new one until the 5 comes out so i reactivated my old 3g which works fine. how do i sync the 3g with the my computer so that it is identical to my 4 before it died? i had backed up the 4 a week ago.....
You would need to restore to the backup of your iPhone 4. Unfortunately you may not be able to as the 3G cannot be updated beyond iOS 4.2.1; if your iPhone 4 was running a more recent version of iOS when it was backed up you won't be able to restore that backup to the 3G.

My husbands new iphone syncs with my old iphone. All my notes when to his phone. I don't want this to happen. How do I stop my notes from going to his phone. Thanks
Unless as part of a backup, or stored somewhere else, they are gone.
Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. He can continue to use yours for iTunes content, but for everything else, he needs his own.
When you did what you did, as far as iCloud knows, this is the same person with multiple devices, and that's they way things are supposed to work: keep everything in sync. -
my iphone 5 syncs with itunes but the music, movies and TV shows DO NOT. icloud if off on pone and store. Both itunes and phone have latest app/operating software. Please help. Thx!
Connect your device, select it in the left-hand column, then change the settings on the various tabs to sync the media content your library to the device. Anything already on it may be removed. If that would be a problem see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

3rd gen iPod Nano will not sync with latest version of iTunes on new laptop. It passes the connectivity test but not the sync test under diagnostics. Worked fine on old Windows 7 laptop but not new one. From Control Panel it shows up as an Apple iPod USB Device...
Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok. -
I want to set up my iphone to sync with my macbook but when I plug it in via USB my iphone doesn't show up under devices in itunes even though it is plugged in correctly and is charging through my computer. How do I get it to show up? I've tried restarting my computer.
If your iPhone does not appear under Devices in iTunes after you connect it to your Mac, refer to the troubleshooting suggestions here:

I have been trying to get my iPhone to sync with a new computer. As a result I have ended up with many of my apps on the old computer, but missing from the the new one and the iPhone. How do I get the apps on the old one to the iPhone and then the new computer?
You don't. Backup your itunes library on the old computer and move it to the new computer.

I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my iMac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events, so that if adding an event on my iPone it never appears on my other hardware? Can anyone help me sort this out?
Re: check that the appointments in my phone are going into iCloud calendars....exactly how do I do this? I fear this is a really stupid question!
My iCloud account is set up with my Apple ID as one email account (for example [email protected]) which is the email account I use to sign up for internet sites like Amazon, Apple,etc, so that I can differentiate vendors/mass emails. But my default calendar on my iPhone is in a different email name (ie [email protected]) which I use for most communications to friends, relatives, etc. and it is this account that holds most of my appointments. To further complicate things I have other email accounts that I use for business/professional and community work. If I want all my calendars to show on my iPhone AND sync to my iCloud, do I set this at the phone level or the iCloud level? or both?
Let me clarify....It looks like if I go into appointments that I previously set up through my personal account (ie above [email protected]) and edit the entry on my iPhone, selecting the iCloud "home" calendar within the entry, it will then sync to my iCloud account, no problem....do I have to do this to EVERY entry I have? or is there a way to name my personal account as one to sync to iCloud? -

Photos uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iphone but not with ipad
Photos which are uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iPhone but not with iPad. Photos taken with iPhone or iPad are synced with all devices. So, why I do not get the uploaded photos from my pc to iPad? I alredy disabled photo stream on all devices - same failure
If only one device is not getting updated data, you need to troubleshoot that device and not photostream itself.
Verify that ipad is connected to wifi, charged over 20 percent, camera app is closed and take a photo of the screen (or anything else, but then close that camera app).
Open photostream folder on that ipad and see if picture shows up. If you network is good, should not take long.
Don't forget that while your phone can use wifi and cellular (even it suppose to use wifi for photostream, cellular networks got much better since original photostream was implemented) - you ipad is probably wifi only.
If picture shows up - you ipad and photostream have no problems and you can go to other devices one by one. -
Iphone 4 does not syncing with latest version of itunes
Dear other users,
My iphone 4 was syncing really great for several weeks on my windows XP computer. Suddenly it was not possible syncing anymore. Probably I used my iphone 4 while syncing. Now when I push the USB cabel into my computer the computer crashes and starts up in the 'save mode'. Even after re-installation of the newest version of itunes there is no live between the iphone 4 and my computer. When I try to sync itunes starts up for only 1 second, and then the computer starts up again. In stead of the text: 'iphone fond on your computer' (when pushing USB cabel into computer) I can see the text: Digital Still Camera. So probably the computer recognises only the camera from the iphone????
Greatings,
ELDear all,
Today I tried my iphone on an other window XP computer (a computer where no itunes was installed in de past). And I made another account for itunes on that computer after installing itunes. The connection was perfect and my iphone could syncing with itunes, no problemes at all. After that I tried my iphone on my own computer with the new account for itunes, but there was the same crash and restart as in the past (problems in sector one of the harddisk?). Now I'm sure for 100% that there is a computer problem and not an iphone problem, caused by interrupting the syncing procedure by myself through using the iphone. I hope the problem can be solved in the near future, cause I can imagine that I'm not the only one who tried to do this.
Greatings,

Using iCloud, my iCloud calenda is syncing with my iPhone but not with the Outlook calendar on my PC (Windows 7)

I agree. What I see is that it is creating an icloud calendar in Outlook but I want it to sync to Outook itself.
That is what it does. There is no sync, you have a new calendar. -

Should I update my older phone and sync with ios 5 prior to doing a restore?
Should I update my older phone and sync with the new ios 5 prior to doing a restore to my new iPhone 5? Is that necessary?
Well...the answer is no. You can't downgrade the iOS, but it will update. I just kept the backup from the older version and did a restore with the Iphone 4S and it worked fine.
