Hi,
my problems appears to be a similar one.
My contacts will not update on .Mac or on my iPod.
I've reset the date, done the process over, and now the contact list is totally deleted from the iPod, and the .Mac list still not updated.
Is there anyone out there that can help?
thanks
hermann

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "Trovi," "Conduit," or "SearchProtect" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove these files in the same way:
~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/searchplugins/MyBrand.xml
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/External Extensions/fjadmdmahkpbhgbmmkiiaanlnlekelmn.json
~/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/Extensions/{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}/[email protected]
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
"SearchProtect" may be distributed along with two other applications: "MacKeeper," which is a scam, and "ZipCloud," which, if not actually a scam, has a dubious reputation. Ask if you need instructions to remove those items.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Under the summary tab in iTunes make sure you have Automatically Back Up This computer. If you have iCloud selected it won't back up when syncing.

Sync Safari and Chrome bookmarks using Windows?

I've got PC that is powered by Windows Vista, I like to use iTunes to sync my media to my phone and never had any problems with it except syncing bookmarks. The deal is that I like to use Google Chrome vs. Safari therefore all of my bookmarks are in Chrome thou Safari is another one of my favorite browsers. I like Safari for some of its features and cause its apple product so I stick with it and Google Chrome for being userfriendly and its interface.
Now how do keep these two browser bookmarks insync so that just by going into iCloud in my Control Panel and having bookmarks there being synced with Safari while I'm making changes in Google Chrome everything stays insync. Or is there an alternative?

You can use xmarks http://www.xmarks.com which does a decent job. Not seemless and I'd definitely make a backup first.

Sync MacBook Pro and iMac

I live on my MBP 15", connect it to a 30" Cinema Display at home, and carry it with me when I travel. I'm seriously thinking about getting an iMac for home - I love how much cleaner my desk would be without a laptop and cables in front of me, but am wondering how I would keep them fully in sync. I would want the same apps and same documents (basically everything in my Home folder) on both. Is there an easy way to keep them both synced?

Drop Box and Sugar Sync are also alternatives, both of which are free. MobileMe definitely makes syncing contacts, calendars and bookmarks easier, as using the two other sync programs will require digging for where those files are located. Theoretically, you can sign up for the free MobilMe trial, use it to sync and then cancel the trial (if you don't like it).
Personally, I use it and I'm a big fan, especially as Orange indicated it's perfect for syncing. But I will say that Drop Box has proven to be a much better resource (for me) when it's comes to file/folder syncing across multiple machines and the ability to easily share files. For whatever the reason, WebDav is just painfully slow on all the networks I routinely use.

Notes not syncing between iPhone and iMac

Syncing notes from my iphone to imac no longer works. I have all the right things checked in info (in itunes) and in my mail. I have talked to the experts at Apple support, and taken the iphone and imac into the apple store. After trying lost of stuff (iSync, other settings, etc, new admin a account), it worked. Once. It worked at the store, but no longer works at home. I can get the notes to sync if I sign out of my admin account and sign back in, but I don't like doing that every time. I don't know why it worked just fine for awhile and then quit. Maybe after the last update. Is it something to do with my POP account - comcast? Does anyone have the same problem? An answer?

I have a MacBook (OS X 10.9.3) an iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.1) and an IMAP account (mail and notes boxes are checked on MacBook). On my iPhone the default account for Notes is set on IMAP. I am syncing via iTunes 11.2.1. It works for Calendar and Contacts but it does not sync Notes. I guess a made an error somewhere.
Could someone hep me? Thank you by advance.

HT1386 After last syncing between iPad3 and iMac, many books I have purchased have cloud symbol and won't open. Afraid to resync as one very large book didn't sync to iMac and afraid of losing it. How do I get these books back?

1. After my last synching between iPad3 and iMac, most of my downloaded books have a cloud/arrow symbol and won't open. Most PDF files in iBook just disappeared. I am afraid to resync as a book I recently downloaded, which took up a big chunk of my 5GB download limit, doesn't appear on my computer and when I try to sync, I get the message that all my books will be replaced.
2. Is there any way to read the books downloaded to my iPad on my iMac? Can I download an Ap for that?
I am really disappointed in the interface between my iPad and iMac and the fact that I can't selectively delete items (music and photos) that I have synched to the iPad. It seems like Apple if going toward the Microsoft method of trying to do everything for you, rather than allowing the user to manually do things.

In iBooks on the iPad every book you purchased will be on the Purchased Book collection. Those books that you have purchased in the past but for some reason are not actually on your iPad are still available in the bookstore. They will have the cloud symbol on the corner. You can tap on that book to download it again. You will not be charged for doing this.

Calendar entries on my iPad do not sync with iPhone and iMac

Calendar entries made on my iPad do not show up on iPhone or iMac. However, entries my on my phone and iMac do appear on the iPad calendar. Is this normal?

Hello mgackerly
Check out the article below to troubleshoot issues with syncing calendars across multiple devices. Check on your iPad to see what the default calendar is. You may want to turn off calendar syncing, keep the data, then turn it back on to start up the syncing process again.

Link IPad and IMac bookmarks

How do I link my IMac bookmarks to the IPad?

How do i set up calendar sync between iphone and iMac?

My iphone syncs nicely between my ipad and imac, but my wife's does not and, far as I can tell, they're set up the same way. What are the basic steps so I can get her wet up - WITHOUT losing her current iphone calendar data?

Have them copy their contact to Exchange/Office365 contact. All contact at once place. Once you have all contact copied or imported to Office 365 they will be synced to Andorid or another mobile device. You can use Ms Outlook to drag and Drop the contacts.

First time bookmark sync to Safari: keep phone bookmarks

I would like to do a first-time bookmark sync with Safari via iTunes. Currently bookmark sync is disabled. When I did this on another phone, it wiped out all my existing bookmarks on the phone, much to my chagrin as I didn't even have any bookmarks in Safari (I don't really use it).
Is there any way to specify that the bookmarks from mobile Safari on the phone should be kept rather than the ones in Safari, or at least some kind of merge behavior?

Here's to still hoping someone out there has the answer...

Possible to sync Safari and Firefox bookmarks?

I mostly use Safari but occasionally am required to use Firefox. While I know it's possible to export my bookmarks from Safari into Firefox, is there any way to keep them automatically in sync?
Thanks!

Actually I just solved my own problem--the Foxmarks plugin for Firefox was upgraded recently to sync with Internet Explorer and Safari as well.

Safari and Google Bookmarks

Hi all!
I want to share my bookmarks with Firefox i have at work. On Firefox you can sync your bookmarks with Google Bookmarks. Is there a way to sync Google Bookmarks back to Safari so i will have the same bookmarks wherever i am, at work or at home?
I don't mind if it's not Google Bookmarks, i've checked del.icio.us as well, but i'm not really in to social bookmarking, i just want to sync what i have at home with what i have at work.
Any solution?
Ton.

You could use .mac, I find this the best way of keep everything up-to-date, ical, address book and not to mention Bookmarks...

Sync my MacBook and imac

Hi,
I've got a imac G5 and a new Macbook. I was told that I could sync both machines so that itunes, iPhoto etc would hold the same information on both computers if I synchronized them regularly. I can't figure out how to do that. Also and probably more importantly I want to be able to backup important data on my MacBook to my imac. I thought Time Machine would let me do that by treating my imac as a back-up disc but it won't. Does anyone know an easy way to regularly update my macbook to my imac? Thanks
James

I use the .mac services from Apple to keep my Macbook and Mac Mini in sync. You can check it out at:

Sync to PC and iMac?

I currently sync my iPhone 3G to my PC for all music. As I'm starting to use the phone / contacts more and more I think I need to be able to sync it to preferably one of my Macs (iMac or Macbook). I don't currently use either for contact management so I'm fairly open to suggestions. Is it possible to sync the iPhone to two machines? PC for music, Mac for contacts?

Yes you can sync contacts to one machine and music to another.
I would advise turing of automatic syncing on both machines.
Select the info. in the tabs that you want synced in each machine.
