Welcome to the Apple Community.
You need to turn the services you want to sync (calendars, contacts etc) on on both devices from settings > iCloud. -
I have a Macbook pro 2009 with Snow Leopard. Which system can I install without running into complicated problems which I will not be able to solve by myself- a person with limited problem solving abilities. (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite?)
It will make it easier to help you w/ your problem to know the size and RAM installed.
"Yesterday I couldn't update the maps on my Garmin because it said the OS I had wouldn't work"
What OS will your Garmin work with? Funny there was someone else that did that and upgraded to Yosemite and regretted it.
I'd say Lion if your Garmin is compatible.
Both Lion and Mountain Lion are downloadable from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion

The OSs will get more resource hungry the higher you go. -
I have a macbook 4.1 with osx10.6.8 and just added memory (2gig) so I could sync my new IPhone and Ipad. Now I'm told at the apple store that I need to upgrade my operationg system. They said they couldn't help and gave me conflicting advice about what to do. Any ideas? Thanks you!
There are three models of MacBook that comprise the 'macbook 4.1' category, and each of them a little different; however other than 'macbook 4.1' the other thing they have in common is they all are considered Early 2008. Two are white, one black, polycarbonate case, Core2Duo 2.1GHz, 2.4GHz white, 2.4GHz black.
So if you can determine which one, if any of these, is the model build year and spec you have, that would be handy. Did you tell whoever you spoke to the serial number of your computer, so they'd know by looking up the specs to see what the supported maximum RAM upgrade capacity was, and other minimum requirements to make any upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6.8 at all?
If you have the serial number you can do a lookup to 'indentify by serial number' online, and use that information to determine if the computer needs even more RAM to take it past the minimum for Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and then get it ready to upgrade (via paid download from App Store, Snow Leopard gets you that far) and see what the next supported OS X full upgrade would be for the hardware limitations on that old MacBook.
If your MacBook IS a 4.1 build, the highest OS X it could run if it has the 2.4GHz cpu, is Lion 10.7.5. That would be an upgrade from the App store, available to OS X 10.6.8+ computers that access it online. And I kind of doubt how supported a newest iphone etc may be in lion.
everymac.com has a fair amount of information across many years of Apple computing hardware...
Here's the three MacBooks that share the 4.1 designation; first shipped with as much as 1GB RAM upgrade and the other two only a 2GB RAM*, (one white/one black color) according to this information...
• MacBook "Core 2 Duo" 2.1 13" (White-08) 2.1 GHz Core 2 Duo (T8100)
• MacBook "Core 2 Duo" 2.4 13" (White-08) 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo (T8300)
• MacBook "Core 2 Duo" 2.4 13" (Black-08) 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo (T8300)
...as seen here: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/index-macbook.html
*But according to MacTracker (free: download database) http://mactracker.ca
these MacBooks can use more RAM in aftermarket specs as much as:
Maximum Memory
6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
To get more information use a service such as this...

The Apple? store or whoever you talked, to may have been as accurate as they could be without further research. Could be you may have a newer or older MacBook, which would change whatever later OS X it could run past 10.6.8. And to go past Snow Leopard, you need to download the last bits for 10.6.x to be able to go and get any later upgrade. The ones that may let a newest iphone or ipad work with it, are past SL10.6.8
Anyway, as you further verify the model build year and configuration specifications, report back.
Good luck & happy computing! -

My wife and I have different iTune accounts. How do we share purchaed content between our ipads and iphones?
iTunes- How to share music between different user accounts on a single computer
You cannot merge two separate libraries across user accounts. Photos does not have the function of merging different Photos.library files. If you have Aperture then you can merge the two before migrating over to Photos. -

My iPad will not connect to my WIFI, but my iMac and iPhone will. Any Suggestions?
I am currently having the same problem with music that is downloaded to my laptop and stored into itunes/itunes match which is not downloading to my ipad. I had this same problem a few months a go and it was fixed with a update to my ipad but it has happened again with most recent update. The bad thing is I didn't notice until I went to listen to the music on my ipad and it was available. Apple is becoming very unattractive to me. I am in search of a diffrent device.

Why does my macbook suddenly says it has a time out to a well known connection, while ipad and iphone have a brilliant connection with the same wifi net?!

I have a macbook 2.1 with 1GB of memory. I have two issues- both related to lack of sufficient memory. Issue#1 is upgrade to LION requires more memory than I have and I d like to upgrade. Issue 2 is that when ever i try to backup to idisk I get a message telling me I need to remove some files from my start up disk to make room. I don t know what I can remove without creating problems. So I think I need to add memory. Is this possible?

You can put two 2gb RAM sticks in your model 2,1 but it can only use 3,3gb. This is a hardware limitation and cannot be changed.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_GB_barrier
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/faq/macbook-pro-core-2-duo-3-g b-memory-limitation-details.html
OWC tests have found that there is a slight speed increase with having two 2gb sticks in rather than one 1gb and one 2gb. Your model is in the gray lines at the bottom of the graph. http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/Memory_Benchmark/Apple_MacBook/
You can upgrade to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.5 will run under10.6. You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/
To upgrade your iLife and iWork. If you only want iPhoto or other single apps from iLife '11 you can get them from the App Store after you've upgraded to 10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote or Numbers from iWork '09 for $20 each.
You can order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 as long as you have at least1gb of RAM and 5gb of free space on your hard drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
Once you are at 10.6.8 you can buy Lion for $29 from the App Store if you have at least a model 2,1 MacBook. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly. Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications. -
Ever since I upgraded to Yosemite on my MacBook Air, I cannot get the mail window to adjust to a size that fits my screen. It is wider than the screen size and although I can adjust the height, the adjustment arrows will not adjust the width. I am not having the same problem with my mac mini since I upgraded that computer. This is a pain because I spend most of my time on my air sending out e-mails to clients
Greetings kbug61,
It appears you are experiencing issues with window sizes and displays. Have you attempted to adjust your resolution at any point? That may be why the windows aren't managed properly. The following article may help you find a solution:
OS X Yosemite: Adjust your display’s resolution
Your display’s resolution determines the size of text and objects on your screen. By default, the resolution on your display is set to show the sharpest text and the most detailed images. While it’s best to use the default resolution, you can manually set the resolution to make text and objects appear larger on your screen, or adjust it to make text and objects appear smaller so you have more space on your screen.
Depending on how you adjust the resolution, some apps may not fit entirely on the screen. Using a scaled resolution may affect performance.
Set the resolution for your primary display
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Displays, then click Display.
Select Scaled, then select one of the scaled resolution options.
Set the resolution for a connected display
If you have more than one display, additional resolution options are available.
After the display is connected, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Displays, then click Display.
Press the Option key while you click Scaled to see additional resolutions for the second display. Then select a scaled resolution option for the second display.
If you changed your display’s resolution and now there’s no picture
Connect multiple displays to your Mac
Set options for accessibility
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I am thinking about upgrading my macbook to a macbook pro, any suggestions on whether or not I should get the 15in or the 17in.
I got the 17" anti-glare high res and simply loving the heck out of it.
I can see the screen in sharp perfect detail in just about any environment with no reflections on the screen.
It displays 1080i (1920 x 1000) video in full resolution on it's 1920 x 1200 pixel screen.
Contrary it's much thinner than many 17" PC's of the same size and even less thinner than my previous 15" MacBookPro!
I got the 2.3 ghz model with the awesomely fast Radeon 6750M in it, I can even play 3D games in Windows in a virtual machine OS in OS X! A real sweet machine.
The performance of the 2.2 and the 2.3 ghz 15" and 17" MacBook Pro are just about the same.
The performace of the 2.0 Ghz 15" is less due to it's less than stellar video card. I would avoid this model.
The 13" is all integrated graphics, no 3D gaming or heavy video use, I would avoid it as well unless you don't have a need for heavy duty graphics.
Some people get a expensive workhorse machine like the 15" or 17" and then carry around a iPad or a very cheap Windows or even more secure Linux netbook for on the go purposes.
In this sour economy I get nothing but mistreatment towards my precious MacBook Pro, so I tout the light cheap box around in public for the basics and if I lose it, drop it or gets stolen it's no big loss.
If one has a vehicle then the weight factor really isn't a major difference, it's mostly if your in a major city, taking trains, subways or walking a lot that a light weight device is more preferred.
Some people have considered a iPad too weak for general use , need to run Flash and Office programs, need a real keyboard and got thus a MacBook Air instead.
So you have to find the right balance of hardware that works for your situation and needs. It might be two devices. -
Since downloading iOS on my new iPad, I cannot downlaod more than one pdf from mail into iBooks. I have to shut down my iPad and restart it to save a second pdf. Wasn't a problem with the old operating system. Any suggestions?
It seems that I have solved my issue by performing a full factory reset (erasing all content, something which I had hoped to avoid) restoring from an iCloud backup did not alleviate the issue, I had to set up as a new iPad.
Hopefully anyone else else who has this issue in the future will be able to find this. -
How do I upgrade my MacBook Pro from OS10.5.8 to the lastest software, which I believe is 10.7?
This is a company computer and the guy who had it before me never kept up with updates. Now I have some audio hardware whose software will only operate with 10.7. Do I have to upload all versions between 10.5.8 to get to the lastest firmware or can I go directly from 10.5.8 to 10.7? I've downloaded the 10.7 upgrade from the apple web site but when it finished downloading I received a message stating that I needed earlier software.
If I need to go through all of these other versions, where to I find them all and how many are there please?
ThanksTo upgrade from Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion - you need to upgrade your current OS to Snow Leopard...
You can call Apple and order Snow Leopard and after you've upgraded to Snow Leopard, you can decide from there if you want to upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion.
If you want to upgrade to Mountain Lion, click HERE to see if your Macbook is supported by ML.
good luck -
Setting up my brand new MacBook Pro and it will not connect to the wifi network. Nothing wrong with the network which is happily working for my iPhone and iPad! Suggestions accepted for making this connection.
Fixing this is a two step process:
1) System preferences > WiFi/Airport ...
... check [√] Ask to join new networks
"Known networks will be joined automatically.
If no known networks are available, you will
be asked before joining a new network."
2) Remove unwanted networks from the list of "known" networks under
System preferences > WiFi/Airport > (Advanced) > | Airport/WiFi pane ...
Close the window and save changes. If no joy, do a restart to ensure you are playing under the new rules.
