Sync imac iphone and ipad
Is it really possible to get an iMac, and iPhone to sync?
I purchased my 27" iMac in February and have spent likely 100-150 hours trying to get these to sync. Apple technical support is nearly useless... talked to them again as calendars weren't syncing and the guy on the end had never created a meeting in Calendar! He was a really big help!!!
I have restored the iMac to factory, restored the phone to factory, reset them both to factory, talked to apple support for twenty hours, and am about to give up. OS on both are fully up to date.
Is it possible to get a refund on the iMac? Maybe if I took the whole works into an Apple store?
The really annoying thing is that I have used this phone for 4 years with a PC and never a single issue with syncing, that is until I bought the iMac and since then only my outlook email will sync (not Calendar).
Any suggestions?
Hi ..
Syncing your music can be done via iTunes connecting your devices via USB to the iMac.
This process is not done via preferences.
You may need to authorize the new iMac.
Launch iTunes.
From the iTunes menu bar click Store > Authorize This Computer
Then sync your music > Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support

I just purchased a new computer and downloaded I tunes but when I go to sync my iphone and ipad touch my library from my old computer doesn't show up on the new one. Only the purchased itune songs come up. How do I get my original itunes library?
Have you copied your content over from your old computer and onto the new on ? If not, and you still have your old computer, then there a number of methods described on this page which you can use to copy your library over : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 . If you no longer have your old computer then have you got a backup of your content that you can copy onto the new computer and add into iTunes ?

If I add a new account user,can I sync my iPhone and iPad to that account without effecting the other user? I'm trying to sync my iPhone and iPad to a new account on a computer I am now sharing after my computer died.
Don't create a new iTunes account.
Just update everything with new info/change password/ security questions.

I got a new computer and need to sync my iPhone and ipad on it, how do i do that without losing all data. I need help ASAP!
If you still have the old computer see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
If you don't have your old computer, but you made regular backups of it, restore the most recent backup using the backup software that you used to make the backup. You will have to read the instructions for it.
If you don't have your old computer and you did not back it up regularly see: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive -

HT5295 How to sync between iPhone and iPad?
How to sync between iPhone and iPad at Podcasts app?
Please elaborate - share what?
Just guessing here...
Any sharing is probably a result of being logged in with the same Apple ID on both devices.
For apps/music: Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads OFF.
For iCloud: Settings > iCloud > Delete Account.
For iMessage: Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. -
I've done all of these recommended steps. My problem is that I have a new laptop that I am trying to sync my iPhone (and iPad for that matter) via Wi-Fi but both devices are looking for the old laptop to sync. My iTunes is version 11.0..3.42, iPhone is 6.1.4, and iPad 6.1.3. Any suggestions?
All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

Sync my iphone and ipad 1 to keep game scores
how do i sync my iphone and ipad 1 to keep game scores
Game score / syncing has to built into the app by the game developer. It's done either thru GameCenter (that should be installed on your iPad, if iOS has been upgraded), or by the game itself. Read instructions and check settings for the specific game.

I have a Airport Time Capsule 2T, I would like to know if it is possible to backup all my apple divides (iMac, iPhone and iPad)?
The iMac can back up to the Time Capsule, but iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad back up to either iTunes on your Mac....or....to iCloud.
If the iPhone and iPad back up to iTunes on your Mac, then when the iMac backs up the iOS backups are sent to the Time Capsule as well. So, the iPhone and iPad back up indirectly to the Time Capsule.
The iPhone and iPad cannot back up directly to the Time Capsule.
For more information on iOS backups, see this Apple support document:
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support -
Have a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 Leopard. Can I just download 10.6.8 Snow Leopard so I can wifi sync with iPhone and iPad?
To expand on Niels post...
First you need to check that your current Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Specs:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If it does... then you need to Purchase and Install the Snow Leopard Disc,
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
( It should be noted that Apple will send paid MobileMe members the Mac OS X 10.6 DVD for free.)
