Sending direction from Maps on Mavericks to iOS devices

I am trying to use the new maps app on Mavericks to send directions to my iphone, but none of my iOS devices show up as devices I can send to - what am I doing wrong?

I still can not 'send directions to iPhone' from 10.9 Maps.
I have tried all fixes from what I gathered online:
Restart Mac
Reboot iPhone
Sign out of iCloud on both Mac and iPhone and signing back in
I have also used patience and colourful language all to no avail
(iCloud account is the same for the Mac as is the iPhone)
I am using an iPhone 5 and a 2011 iMac 3.1ghz Intel i5

Transferring ebooks from Mavericks to iOS device?

In the past I would move my ebooks from iTunes to my iOS devices just by dragging and dropping them onto the device, yet now with the introduction of iBooks for Mac that is no longer possible. How do I transfer my books from the Mac to my iOS device in Mavericks?

I would contact your car manufacturer as they have all the information of teh bluetooth setup thats in your car. They will have a better idea whats going on as its there system.
Have you tried it with any other phone or car bluetooth if its possible?

How do I transfer pdf documents from my pc to my iOS device?

How do I transfer a pdf document from my pc to my iOS device? How do I tranfer a pdf document from my iOS device to my pc?

The document Charu mentioned is great, but it is slightly out of date and missing one important method that I use frequently. I like to go to http://files.acrobat.com and upload files to my Acrobat.com account. The uploader there allows me to upload multiple documents at the same time (shift clicking on them on my PC or cmd-clicking on them on my Mac). Then, I connect my Adobe Reader to my Acrobat.com account and I can see all of those files!

All my mail have disappeared From my mac and my iOS devices. Seemingly from the iCloud server as well. How can I recover them?

All my mail have disappeared from my mac and my iOS devices. Seemingly from the iCloud server as well. How can I recover them?

Well, you can't since the emails are stored on icloud's mail server. Try this test, using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and check the mail page. If they are gone, then they are really gone.
Now, I thought I could go into a Time Machine backup and view old emails from a day ago. Unfortunately, Time Machine doesn't seem to save icloud based email, since regardless of the past date I go to, only the current emails show up, not older ones. My conclusion is that I wouldn 't be able to recover them from a TM backup.
What had you been doing on the mac or device that causes emails to be deleted? (I hope you don't have a family member or friend using the same icloud account - they may have deleted all emails by mistake.)

Sending directions from osx to iOS using apple maps doesn't work!

I don't see the option to send apple maps directions to my iphone.
Both mac osx mavericks and ios7 are logged in with the same icloud id.
Here's a screenshot of the apple maps app on OSX mavericks.

Why doesn't my iphone show up in the share options?

Hi dlinhardt,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you don't see your iPhone in Maps on OS X, and you've confirmed you're signed in with the correct iCloud account (Apple ID), try these steps from our troubleshooting article next:
OS X Maps: Share menu doesn't list iOS devices
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5293
3. Quit OS X Maps and try again.
Quit the Maps app, then open it again.
Click the Share button. If you still don't see your devices, continue to the next step.
4. Sign in to FaceTime or Messages on your Mac.
Sign in to either FaceTime or Messages. In Messages, you should be signed in to your iMessage account, not another type of account. If you're already signed in, continue to the next step.
Restart your computer. After the computer restarts, you should be asked to enter your iCloud password and click Log In.
If you still don't see your devices in Maps, quit Maps, then open it again and check for your devices once more.
All the best,
Jeremy

THIS DOESN'T WORK FOR ME: Sending Maps to iOS Devices If you're also using an iPhone or iPad running iOS 7, you can send Maps from your Mac to your iOS device with ease.

Open the directions or Map to a location that you wish to share, then select File > Share > “Send to Device.” I don''t have this specific option showing under File in Maps. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi,
just disconnect your iCloud account in your Mac (system preferences) and then log in.
It'll work and the button Send to iPhone/iPad will appear in Maps. It worked for me just five minutes ago ;-)

Can't open files directly from file server (MAVERICKS)

since updating to Mavericks earlier today i have had the below problem
I use a file server at work to access all my work files. i have no problem accessing the servers but when i try and when I double click to open a file (excel, word, pdf, etc) it says "the application cant be found"
when Ihave the application open and i open the same file from within the application (file > open) it works fine. I just cannot open files directly from the file server by double clicking.
in previous versions there have been no problems with this,
any help would be great,

Same issue here; I hadn't related it to upgrading to the latest OS 10.9.2. I've shutdown and restared multiple times. I've also rebuilt permissions on my hard drive as I thought it was the Finder but files on my local HD open file. Off the server, I cannot double-click or even drag to the dock. Files open fine if I open the app first then browse to find the file.

Can't send files from/to MBP Mavericks/ipad

I am unable to send files from my mac book pro 10.9 to the ipad4 & vice versa. They are connected on bluetooth but when I press send I get the message "this devise does not have the necessary services".
thanks

How disappointing though to read that there is no compatibility for bluetooth. Had I been made aware of this I certainly would not have bought the ipad. I find it extremely disappointing that there's no publicity about this fact. I feel utterly conned by Apple.
Yes, there is compatibility for BT: headphones, keyboards, speakers, and other peripherals. And, yes, this is very well known. I'm not sure what you expected in the way of "publicity". No manufacturer lists all of the things their product doesn't do.
Best of luck.

When I iMessage people from my iPod touch that don't have my email in my contacts, who does it say it comes from on the other persons iOS device? Is it my email or the name associated with my apple id?

If its my email, how can I change it to be my name?
Thanks in advance for great answers!!!

Hi,
In iMessages both from an iOS device or from the Mac Messages beta the name your "send" is the Apple ID
iPhones obviously do have to option of "sending" from the phone number (and in fact do if no Apple ID is used)
The person at the other end sees is whatever they have for you set up in their Contact list.
In this sense it works the same way iChat does.
If you have your Buddies Screen name in the Address Card then ichat will display their Full Name (If you have iChat set up to do so as it can be the Short Name (nickname) or even Handle (Screen Names) )
What is sent between Buddies is the Handle or Screen Name it is the iChat or Message Software reading the Address Book that changes it to the "Names" of your Buddy.
The same is true of the Contacts List (Address Book entries) for anyone you are iMessaging.

How do I control photo streaming from my iMac to my IOS devices?

I have an iPhone 4, iPad 2, and iMac running latest versions of Lion and iPhoto. I had photo streaming in the on position for each machine, and recently I downloaded over 1500 high res Nikon photo's from a vacation into iPhoto on the Mac. I wasn't really thinking about the background activity with iCloud, but later I found that my memory was used up on the iPad. When checking further, I found that all the vacation photo's loaded to iPhoto had photo streamed to the iCloud and been copied onto my iPhone and iPad. Okay like duhh.....this is how it works, I get it now, very cool, now I have no memory left. To make matters worse, there was no easy way to delete pictures from the photo stream on the IOS devices.....you have to individually check each pic to delete. Lesson learned...I turned off the photo streaming from my iMac.
But, the way I really would like to use this is to have all photo's and/or video's taken with my iPhone or iPad to be streamed into the iCloud and copied automatically to my iMac.....but I don't want the opposite to happen....ie, when I download pics from my Nikon onto my iMac into iPhoto, I don't want those to stream to the IOS devices. Basically my iMac is the major long term storage device (with backup hard drive)...I view my IOS devices as just short term storage devices, and if something needs to be saved it should up load to my iMac.
Is it possible to set up the devices this way with iCloud, ie, one way photo streaming?
thanks ahead!

iPhoto > iPhoto Preferences > PhotoStream, turn off automatic uploads.

File Missing from iPhoto when syncing to iOS devices

When trying to sync any iOS device with my MacBook, I get an error stating that a file is missing. It only happens when I'm trying to sync photos, so I believe that a file is missing on my MacBook from iPhoto. Has anyone encountered this issue before?

Open the iPhoto Library with the finder:
Click to view full size
and move the folder titled iPod Photo Cache Or iPhone Photo Cache to the Trash. DO NOTHING ELSE! Close the package, launch iPhoto and try syncing again.

Trouble sharing from windows desktop iTunes to IOS devices

When sharing from windows 7 desktop iTunes to IOS device using the music app, some songs will not play. They just scroll through the titles until it finds one that will play. Seems that m4p will not play but others will. What's the fix?

Okay, I figured it out! Automatically shows up when you create!

HT204406 itunes match playlists from imac not appearing on ios devices

I've finally gotten my entire iTunes library onto iTunes Match. (Be patient folks, it only took 4 weeks for my entire library to load!)
However, the Playlists that I've created on my iMac are not appearing on any of my IOS devices (iPad, iPhone, etc.).
Can anybody help me with what needs to be done on my iPhone and iPad to import my iTunes playlists from my iMac?
Thanks in advance!

The cause is likely to be a corruption of the iTunes library on the iPhone. The neatest route is to reset the iPhone to factory condition.
The alternate is to remove the iPhone library files and force it to rebuild them - this is a little more complex but has the upside that you do not need to recreate content on the iPhone, the steps needed are:
1. Connect iPhone, open iExplorer (or equivalent)
2. Navigate to iPhone\Media\iTunes_Control\iTunes
3. Delete these 3 files:
          MediaLibrary.sqllitedb
          MediaLibrary.sqllitedb-shm
          MediaLibrary.sqllitedb-wal
4. Hard reboot the iPhone (home button + sleep/wake button, hold until you see the apple logo)
Hope that these will work for you - the simplest alternates is here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22457142#22457142

Why won't my notes in an epub sync between Mavericks or ios devices?

Why won't my notes in an epub book sync between Mavericks and my ios devices? I have checked to make sure that sync between devices is selected on all of my devices.

How can i look at my files from icloud backup if my iOS device is no longer available (was stolen)?

Is it possible to view and download photos that were in each iOS device's last backup? I do not have the iOS devices anymore as they were stolen while traveling.
Unfortunately, I significantly misunderstood how photo stream was working and due to memory limitations on my iPad (very little available memory with loaded movies and other big memory uses), I had to find ways to keep memory from being totally full and was deleting photos in Photo Stream on that iOS device thinking it would only delete it on that device and not ALL iOS devices. It seems that is a missing feature selection (should be a default too IMO) on Photo Stream!!
thx in advance..

If you want to view and download your photos from your backup files, I think you need the help of third party iOS data recovery like ifonebox, dr.phone. Such kinds of software can help you view and retrieve your photos. Hope this is helpful to you.
