Seeking general tutorial for iMac, iPad, iPhone

I have been using Apple for the past 2 years, but I do have some spare time available right now, so I'm wondering if there is some kind of general tutorial process which would help me get better organized, and not waste effort needlessly, if I can learn to understand the sync tools available for our iPad2, iPhone4S, and iMac (2009, Intel, and 24-inch).
For example, I type in appointments onto my iPhone4S, and I'm still trying to figure out how to sync it up with the iCal on our dekstop iMac. I think that I would feel more organized if I could really understand how to use these apps and

in case you have not done iCloud, you can use blue tooth. I opened Finder and used the Help box in the menu to find this:
To turn on Bluetooth:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Bluetooth.
Select the On checkbox. To allow other Bluetooth enabled devices to “discover” your computer and send files, also select the Discoverable checkbox.
Select “Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar” so you can quickly send files and perform other actions using the Bluetooth status menu in the menu bar.
HideTo send files using Bluetooth:
Choose Send File from the Bluetooth status menu in the menu bar.If the Bluetooth menu isn’t visible, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Bluetooth, and select “Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar.”
In the window that appears, select the file you want to send, and then click Send.
Select the device you want to send the file to, and then click Send.If you don’t see the device you want to send the file to, make sure the device has Bluetooth turned on and is discoverable.
You can set options for what happens when others try to send you files or browse your computer using Bluetooth. For more information, open Bluetooth File Exchange, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder, and choose Help > Bluetooth Help.

Hello,
Are they just regular size eMails?
Do you have more than one eMail account setup?

I have an iPad 2 that I want to use with video mirroring to give lectures with. I bought a VGA Adapter for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod as I want to be able to connect with any TV, monitor or projector for lectures, not just an HD device.. After plugging in my iPad to the VGA adapter and then to the video device, it appears that there is no connection with the iPad. Anybody have any thoughts?
Thanks, Steve

Is there a way to sync outlook calendars with Imac, Ipad, Iphone calendars. I am not running exchange server.

Is there a way to sync outlook calendars with Imac, Ipad, Iphone calendars? I am not running exchange server.

hello,
BlackBerry devices do not support ActiveSync.
you have several ways, from best to less good :
1)
if your company has set up Outlook Web Access, you can use the BIS connection of your device to connect to the Exchange server (email + Address book) through the url of the Outlook Web Access. The OWA needs to be accessible from outside the company.
2)
if your company has setup an external link to the exchange server (can be accessible from outside the company), you can configure your BIS directly to the Exchange server (email only if I recall correctly)
3)
if your company allows it, on your PC you can setup your email account to automatically forward all incoming emails to a third party email (like GMail or Hotmail), and then configure BIS to connect to that email provider. You will get push email. You can then setup a reply-to: field.
4)
use a Windows Mobile phone that has the ActiveSync feature.

Hello, If you are dealing with one of the really thin iMac's that have no superdrive, then the superdrive icon should not appear on the desktop when you plug it in, but when you put in a disk (CD, DVD, etc.) that should appear. If you go into disk utility, and look at superdrive, that should be clickable and not grayed out when you have it plugged in. If this does not show up in disk utility, go to Apple, and ask to speak to their supervisor, speaking to a customer service agent is like talking to a potato, nothing gets done. Good Luck!

HT204266 Can I swap use of music Apps between my iPad & iPhone? Do I have to buy separate applications for my iPad & iPhone

- Can I swap the use of music Apps between my iPad & iPhone?
- Do I have to buy separate applications for my iPad & iPhone?

Not sure what you mean. The iPad and iPhone both come with a built-in Music app and you can sync and have your content on both of them.
If you've bought a third-party music app then you can also have that on both devices.

Project/Task Management Software for iMac, iPad and iPhone

Hi,
I work at a Espresso Bars company in Sydney and we have a small but busy Design & Marketing department. We're looking for the best, yet simplest software so we can manage all the marketing and design projects.
I've seen a few good Online Management Software but they are quite expensive ($25+ per month per user). The good thing about those systems is that you can access it from anywhere and people can collaborate, ask questions about a project, give feedback about a design, enter a new task or tick as completed, etc... And you can use it on an iMac, an iPad and an iPhone.
I came across Projector for iMac and iPad, but it is not online, if you want to share the project from iMac to iPad you have to conect your iPad to your computer and sync it. It also works by projects, so there is no way for you to see in a single screen all the projects you're currently working on and the process of them. So, although it being very user friendly and excellent UI, not sure if it is what we want.
I wanted to ask you if you know about another Project/Task Management Software that we can use on an iMac, iPad and perhaps and iPhone as well. Something that you either buy the app once or if you have to pay a monthly fee it needs to be very low. If it is online it would be much better! but everything would work I reckon.
User friendly and good UI software are preferred.
Thank you so much for your help!
Cheers

TS4118 how to sync calendar/contacts with imac, ipad, & iphone

I am having issues syncing with all of my products and would love some assistance, please.
I have the new ipad and the iphone 5. I also have an imac running Mac OS X (version 10.6.8). I can sync the ipad and iphone 5 with icloud but I end up with a lot of duplicates. Nothing seems to be syncing with the imac.
I used to be able to keep my imac as the primary item that I would make all of the changes on, plug my ipad into the computer and when it would sync (over itunes), it would make the calendar/contacts adjustments on to the ipad, but since getting the iphone, that just isn't happening any more. Is it because of icloud? Now, there is nothing on my imac calendar - the iphone seems to be the primary with both the ipad & iphone having a ton of duplicates (both in the calendar and the contacts)!
Thanks sooo much for any assistance you can provide!

While waiting for a reply, you can read the documentation that was in the box your iPad came in. It's a book about a Spanish guy called Manual.
The answer is iTunes. Download it. Install it. Read the instructions. Use it.

Ipad 2 running iOS 6.1.3 (10B329)
Iphone 4S running iOS 6.1.3 (10B329)
iCloud tabs in Safari (iMac AND iPad) are NOT showing pages opened on iPhone; only iPad pages for iMac, only iMac pages on iPad.
iPhone Safari however is showing pages opened on both iMac and iPad.
Please help resolve this MYSTERY. all 3 devices were iCloud resetted - OFF, reboot, then ON, multiple times.
nothing changed. Iphone is still synching only ONE way-
Appreciate

Hey Bruno-
Thanks for the question. The following article provides troubleshooting steps for iCloud Tabs:
iCloud: Using and troubleshooting iCloud Tabs
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5372
1. If Safari is open, quit Safari.
          - Double-click your Home button. Your open applications will appear in a row at the bottom of your screen.
          - Find the Safari icon. Touch and hold down the icon until the icons of your open applications start shaking.
          - Tap the red circle in the upper-left corner of the Safari icon. The icon will disappear from the list.
          - Press the Home button again to return to normal operations.
2. Tap Settings, and then tap iCloud.
3. Tap Safari to turn it off. Tap either Keep or "Delete from My iPhone" when asked if you want to delete synced data.
4. Press the Home button to exit Settings, and wait about one minute.
5. Tap Settings, and then tap iCloud.
6. Tap Safari to turn it on.
7. Press the Home button.
8. Open Safari, and test to see if the issue has been resolved.
- Turn off, and then restart your iPhone. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
Thanks,
Matt M.

TS1369 unable to install usb drivers for ipod/ipad/iphone, even after following steps from diagnostic testing

I have followed the steps suggested to reinstall the USB drivers for my ipad/ipod/iphone products, but receive a message that says one of the installers cannot perform the installation at this time. I've tried numerous "other" times, but get same msg.

Hi 2010c309a,
I understand you are having issues with your scan software on your computer. I recommend a complete uninstall reinstall.
The HP uninstaller program might be available on the printer CD, depending on the printer model. If you have the printer CD readily available, try this option to quickly check whether you have the HP Uninstaller, and then run it. If you do not have the CD uninstall all HP printer software from the control panel. Here is a document you could look at for help.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c02259020&lc=en&product=3737195&tmp...
First try to click the Windows icon, type services in the Search box, and then click or tap View Local Services. Scroll down to the Windows Installer. Startup type should be - Automatic, and Service Status should be - started.
Scroll down to Windows imagine Acquisition. Startup type should be - Automatic, and Service Status should be - started.
Restart the computer after this step and try installing again.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Catastrophic Rendering Problem with PDF's on iMac, iPad, iPhone and iBooks

Hi,
i would like to hear from anybody who has had the same experience.
A customer sent me an order per email with an attached PDF order. We use apple mail for all incoming emails on an iMac.
Both in apple mail when viewing the attachment (no need to open it) and in the previewer using quick look and also having saved the attachment and opened it directly with previewer all seemed OK.
We delivered the product as requested but received a complaint because the client claimed that we had overlooked certain details in the order. This caused a considerable amount of disagreement because both parties felt they were right.
To make sure the documentation was complete we saved the attachment on our vmware- windows XP machine in our client data folders. We later opened the attachment on the windows machine which uses adobe reader and not apple previewer.
Lo and behold - all the details which the client said were contained were now visible.
Further investigation showed that any data which the client had printed/generated in bold font were not being displayed on the mac.
Unbelievable, so we forwarded the mail to a sevaral colleagues for double checking.
They all confirmed our findings. Apple mail and previewer do not display the same data as when using adobe reader.
Even worse: neither do the email displayer on ipad or iphone conform to what is displayed by the original. Even saving the docoment to iBooks does not help.
Our only guess is that the client who sent the PDF is probably using a non-adobe pdf creator which happens to work if you use adobe reader to display it but probably does not conform to the spec which others, such as apple, use when displaying. Maybe abobe reader is just more error tolerant.
I have sent feedback to apple but hardly think they will crash update all their products.
As it happened this caused an argument about a few euros. I hate to think what it could cause though.
-Paul-

While not common, what you describe is no unusual either. I can tell you that the person who created the PDF almost certainly used Adobe's products. It is Adobe that is not compatible with all of the other PDF implementations. I encourage you to submit a bug report to Apple and include a copy of the PDF. There was a "bug" in Apple's PDF rendering software in version 10.6.7 for which Apple released a fix fairly quickly. I say "bug" in quotes because the PDF was perfectly valid according to all published standards. All PDF viewing programs on either Mac or Windows could read the PDF - except Adobe.
Ultimately, PDF is a print technology and will fall by the technology wayside pretty soon.

Syncing issues with iMac, iPad & iPhone 4s

In the last couple of days all 3 devices just magically stopped syncing with each other, I haven't changed any settings at all and have installed all the updates as they have arrived (except Maverics OS) from the day I purchased them...what is happening?
This is extremely frustrating as I use them all every day for work!! It was so refreshing when I purchased them all, and they were working together beautifully, now its just a reminder of what I went from with the Microsoft headaches and 'software updates'...
Definately unimpressed!!
So what have I done so far to 'get them working' again?
I have checked the settings in iCloud...all the right buttons are 'on' as they should be, on all 3 devices!
I have done a backup into iCloud & onto MyMac, of the iPhone and iPad, and also a backup of the iMac into the Time Capsule.
Not sure what to do from here though...last time this happened it was a couple of weeks before 'everything just magically started working again' and things were somewhat restored.
Does Apple have the occasional 'outage' with the iCloud? Does a server go down somewhere rendering any hours spent on trying to get to the bottom of this issue useless?
Would love to know any answers anyone has...
