Sync calendars with out usb cable

I have searched the apple site and forums but I am still confused.
Should I be able to sync my calendars over .mac.
I have only been able to do it so far by usb in itunes.
I think that I have my .mac set up on my iphone.
I want it to sync in the background without a hard connection like all my other macs.
Thanks.

Yes you can

Probably because you have a POP account on your machine and you are syncing with that programme/data and not via a IMAP account held on the .Me server.
I think that I have my .mac set up on my iphone.
Have you set it as an IMAP account with a folder structure on the server or are all your emails on your Pc/Mac ?

Understandable - this is what happens but I suspect you have all your data on your computer rather than online, which is what MobileMe permits.

  • I can't sync my notes from I-phone and Ipad2 to the mac anymore, not even with the usb cable!

    I can't sync my notes from I-phone and Ipad2 to the mac anymore, not even with the usb cable!

    I'm also having this problem.
    In fact two things have stopped working with my iPhone recently. 
    1.  iTunes no longer launches automatically when I plug in my iPhone to my iMac. 
    2.  The iPhone Notes app has stopped syncing via USB lead between the iPhone and the iMac.
    I have tried closing applications, and rebooting both the iPhone and iMac, but this makes no difference.
    I'm running OS X 10.6.8 on my iMac.
    My iPhone is a 3G running iOS 4.2.1
    Can anyone help?

  • I cant figure out why my HTC Droid DNA is no longer recognized by my computer when i hook it up with the USB cable that came with the phone.

    I used to be able to just plug in my phone with the USB cable to my Windows 7 computer and browse phone storage with no issues. Now my computer sees it as an android phone but when it tries to automatically install the drivers for my phone on the computer, i get an access denied error message. No option on the phone that i can see that allows me to mount phone as a usb drive. This used to work just fine with nothing more than just hooking up the cable. What gives??

        Let's get that access granted again, e_rock_b. The HTC DNA doesn't have a special USB Mass Storage Mode that needs to be turned on. Usually, it's as simple as connecting and browsing http://vz.to/1jktbZD as you mentioned. If your computer is no longer allowing that easy access, try the steps at http://vz.to/1jktvr6.

  • Ipad no longer syncs calendar with iphone 6

    My iPad was working fine a few days  ago in syncing calendars with my new iPhone 6; however, I just noticed that when I receive invites [ics] they appear on my iPhone but do not go into the cloud to appear on the iPad.  I tested putting something on my calendar and that appeared on both devices; however, getting a test email from another person, it didn't show.  I signed out/in back into icloud on the iPad and still not syncing.  I feel the sync is broken and I don't know how to get it back. Can someone give me guidance on what to do?  I sync wirelessly on both devices and have also synced the with the cable.  NOTHING.  I use a PC.

  • TS4002 Trying sync calendars with another IPhone 5?

    We have iCloud and if I follow the instructions it says to select an iCloud calendar to share with another. But all of my calendar info is in my hotmail calendar which is not an iCloud calendar. I don't want to re-enter everything and it seems that the hotmail calendar is my default calendar. I really need to be able to sync calendars with my husband's phone. That's one of the main reasons we got the iPhone! Please help!

    Why does your Mac not have icloud?
    Sync them via the cable and itunes.
    Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync.

  • If Apple is so full of geniuses, why can't they come up with a usb cable to connect the iPad to a printer? This would seem like the most intelligent first choice for those of us who are absolutely frustrated with iPad printing functionality.

    My sister has an iPad and an HP printer. She cant' print from her iPad even though a genius at the Apple Store sold the combination to her with the idea that it would be easy to do. Instead, I have to go to her place with my MacBook, she sends me an email, and I hook up my laptop to her printer to print what she needs. Why can't the Apple geniuses come up with a USB cable and an OS update to make it easy and NOT SO FRUSTRATING to print from the iPad?
    I've been a Mac user for fifteen years but I could not, in good conscience, recommend an iPad to anyone until Apple considers that ease of use does not include regularly getting frustrated with the easiest of tasks.

    all printers speak a diffrent "computer language" for a device to understand this language
    a driver is required
    some devices such a computers come with drivers for a long line of printers and other devices
    apple decided that it was better not to include that huge list of drivers as users would then not have
    much storage left for media and apps
    then apple let printer makers make apps for printing in app store and make printers support airprint

  • When I plug my phone into my PC with the USB cable an ad starts playing on my PC. How do I stop this?

    When I plug my phone into my PC with the USB cable an advertisement starts playing on my PC. The advertisement is for an add-on product called Backup Assistant Plus. How can I stop this?
    I read of a work-around to stop this, but it does not meet my needs. The work-around is to change your USB connection option from "mass storage device" to the one of the options about uploading pictures. This would not work for me because I'm connecting the cable so I can access the phone's memory as a mass storage device!
    This is a seriously obnoxious problem affecting millions of people. It's a common conversation in bars, and all the iPhone fans are saying--yea, I told you so, stuff from Motorola is junk. I'd recommend that it be fixed as soon as possible!
    Model: Droid Razr
    Android version: 4.0.4

    Yes, you can stop it. When you plug in the phone, down in the lower right of your screen, click and pull up the Motorola Device Manager. Do as you please with it.

  • I tried for update but when i saw the screen its showing an arrow with a USB cable towards itunes icon, and now i'm not able to do anything, i also tried to connect ipad through my laptop but no use

    That message means that you have to restore the iPad now. There was a problem with the update. So connect the iPad to your computer and restore your iPad.
    You can read bout it here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    If that does not work you will need recovery mode. You can read about it here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
    Or you can follow these Recovery Mode Instructions
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

  • My Mac simply ignores my Iphone when I connect it with the USB cable. WHY? how Can I fix it?

    My Mac simply ignores my Iphone when I connect it with the USB cable. WHY? how Can I fix it?
    I was able to connect the first time, but after that my computer simply rejects the Iphone and nothing happens. The Iphone doesn't spin or try to reboot even! .
    WHAT to do? I got it today.

    When you say it ignores your iPhone, do you mean it does not appear in iTunes if you launch iTunes? Or it does not appear in Finder? Or does not appear in iPhoto? Or you get an error message?

  • HT1476 My iPod touch won't charge with the USB cable.

    I've been trying to charge my phone at my work with the USB cable and the cpu but I can't. are there any settings on this since when ever I get home and charge my phone there is no other problems.

  • New iPod nano, comes with a USB cable and CLIP? Whats it for?

    My new ipod 2gb nano comes with a usb cable and a little clip or stand type thing that the nano can sit in and at the bottom has a hole that the usb wire sort of fits through but it isn't made to sit on the desk, its more like a clip of something, any ideas what this is or how to use it?

    The extra piece is the adapter for the Universal Dock. The dock has a well in it and there's an adapter for each size of iPod that goes into it.

  • How do I scan and email documents on my canon mx870? I have a MAC OS X 10.7.5 and it is connected with a usb cable to the printer. Thank you so much!

    How do I scan and email documents on my canon mx870? I have a MAC OS X 10.7.5 and it is connected with a usb cable to the printer. Thank you so much!

    Hi, I have 10.6.8 and an HP printer so it may be slightly different but I'll give it my best shot:
    Go to System Preferences.
    Click on "Print & Fax"
    Near the top of that page you should see "Print" and "Scan" options. Click "Scan"
    A button appears that says "open scanner"
    The settings are different between the different scanner models so I'm not sure what the next window will look like, but it should be pretty straightforward from there. It will scan to a JPEG image which you can attach to an email. I hope that helps! Let me know if there's anything ense I can help with.
