Sync Mac and iPhone and backup to iCloud
I've had my iPhone for eight months and it's about time for me to take advantage of iCloud. I tried this when I first got my iPhone and it didn't work the way I expected. I might have been trying to do toomuch new at once. First I use Apple's iCal and Apple's Address Book. I want to be able to sync changes in both between laptop (Mac) and iPhone, back and forth and backup to iCloud. Last time I tried I think it only synced either changes from iPhone to Laptop or visa versa. My wife has an iPad and iPhone and syncs hers to a different Mac. I guess this would work the same? I probably should get mine solve, then work on hers.
ThanksThis is my calendar list, if it helps.
The private calendar won't sync with anything, it only appears on my mac.
The work home and office calendars sync with iCloud and between all my devices.
The karting calendar syncs with another iCloud account, it will not sync with my primary iCloud event.
Therefore if I create an appointment in either the private or the karting calendars, they will not sync with other devices. I suspect having two work and two home calendars is confusing the matter and you need to turn the correct calendars off and ensure your default calendar in iCal preferences > general is set to the correct calendar so that you aren't creating events in a non iCloud calendar. -
Sync mac to iphone (overwrite data on mac)
Hello. My Calendar data on mac got erased. I can't restore them, but the data still exist on my iphone (and nowhere else). The erase on the mac is younger than the data on the iphone. So i fear that synching the two the usual way would bring the iphone up to the state of the Calendar on the mac, meaning it would erase all data on the iphone. I can't try it out, because I guess I have one shot only. So I thought I'll see if there's a way to do a one way sync somehow. Is there?
ThanksThe way to sync the calendar from your iPhone to your Mac is by hand ... type all the entries from your iPhone's calendar into your Mac.

ICloud sync Mac to Mac? How? When?
How is it that iCloud syncs Mac with iPhone / iPad / IOS, or vice versa, but not Mac with Mac .. Any application that synchronizes all? It will be poissible with Mountain Lion?
Thanks,
Ø3It does not do that kind of syncing. See the following:

My playlist created on my MAC in iTunes is not syncing with my iPhone 4s. The problem started in November. I have rechecked the automatic syncing but nothing happens. What am I missing?
Please read this article about snycing music using itunes. Please focus on what it speaks when outlining talking about syncing selected playlists artists and genres THAT is the setting you will need enabled to sync playlists to a mobile device.

ICloud doesn't sync between mac and iPhone...
Hello all. I have an iphone 4 and I macbook pro which I have just upgraded the OS to OSX Mountain lion.
I have never really made use of icloud before, but intend to start using it as I intend to get an ipad soon.
I have gone into icloud on both my mac and iphone and ticked on everything for icloud. However,nothing seems to really sync. My notes don't go between devices. As far as I can tell neither do my photos.
The only large file on my icloud seems to be backups. However, the only thing in this folder seems to be the back up folder...which only seems to contain infinitiy blade data.
Any help as to where I'm going wrong?
regards,
MattI don't want to trust the iCloud, so I want to sync my PERSONAL Notes on my iPhone (4) just with my iMAC (via iTunes), and not saved in iCloud.
Yes iCloud is great for syncing/saving common data, but I want to choose what I sync and if I choose not to save in icloud than I want to have the possibility to save it elsewhere.
Now with Mountain Lion it is not possible anymore to sync between my iPhone and iMac
More and more companies are going to say/dictate "This and this is good for you!"
Please Apple, take your Customers serious and let themselve choose what good for them is!
Thanks in advance!!
P.S.,
if there Apple-Customers who have a solution for syncing Notes between MountainLion and iOS please reply! (Thanks) -
So I bought a used Mac from my friend. I have the udated software and an iPhone 5 with the newest software. I have backed up my phone at least 4 times and all the photos and videos I need and wanted were on the phone. I did a backup and synce last night to itunes and now my phone has random old photos on it and I can't remove them or delete them. I also tried to restart iphoto and uninstall it and now it asking me to buy it for my Mac. I looked in the library for the photos and they are not there and used the preview option for it. Don't know how to recover or find them on my Mac. I have to have these photos for a company meeting and can't reproduce. Since the new updates with Mac and iPhone with the OS7 it has been really wierd and NOT working right. Also something to point out is that the events on my phone show up for the folders but they don't show up on my mac and didn't before. They only show up as dates but on my phone show as names that gave them. Help please! My presention is on the line. I've not been happy when I made the switch to everything apple.
I went back to iOS 7 and my backup file is restoring but when its done nothing is on my phone still and only takes 11-15 minutes to restore the backup instead of taking 25+ minutes like usual so I guess the backup is corrupted. How can I fix this?

Is there any way to Sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5? Apple support says that only iTune can only sync contacts from "Contact" which is the default contact of Mac. If one is running Outllok on a Mac machine then it is not possible to sync the contacts with iPhone. It is strange that Apple distributors are promoting and offering machines with promise that Windows users can now run MS Office on Mac machines without any problem. While this is true, it is so strange that one cannot sync the contacts from MacBook Pro to iPhone5. If someone has found a way to sync contacts from Outlook to iPhone 5 please help as it is very frustrating to not be able to sync the contacts. Thanks, Amit.

can I have two contact lists on one mac book pro? I need one to sync with my iphone, one to sync with my husband's iphone.
I agree with Chris CA that this is the way I would *expect* iTunes to behave.
When I look at iTunes from my account (my music is in ~/Music/iTunes/ and not available to my spouse's account), I can see in my music library all my rips and my purchases, just as I would expect. I can use Store>View My Account (<myAppleID>) and all is as expected. Home sharing is NOT on.
Doing the same from the other account is not much different, actually. Nothing in the library yet, of course. Store>View My Account (<herAppleID>) also works. I CAN authorize my computer to play her music. I CAN view her iTunes purchases. When I attempt to download the purchases to HER library, though, I get the following dialog box:
Now I interpret this to mean that this computer (mine) will not download from a different AppleID (also mine) for 90 days. Is that [interpretation] correct? -
Help....duplications of ical events on iPhone and only syncing from mac to iPhone?
Hi,
Has anyone got any suggestions for fixing this problem.....
My iPhone syncs with my Mac perfectly via iTunes apart from iCal, which is giving me real grief! iCal on my mac is in perfect order and syncs events to my phone but my phone has duplicate and triplicate events and even events in different states of being edited. The iphone doesnt sync events made in it back to the mac either.
It syncs contacts etc. fine, just not iCal events.
Is there an easy way of fixing this or even totally reseting iCal on the Mac and iPhone so it clears this up? (obviously, I need to keep my calendar events though)
I've tried replacing the info on the phone, reseting the phone, changing to iCloud syncing and back again and I even upgraded to the iPhone 5 (which I was going to do anyway )
I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.8, iCal 4.0.4, iTunes 11.0.2 and I was on an iPhone 4 and now iPhone 5. It's been happening for two months now and it's getting really frustrating!
Thanks for any help in advanceThis fixed my problem - finally!!

My Genius mixes do not update/sync from MAC to iPhone 5S
My original sync from mac to iPhone (when I first bought it) is there, but since then any & all subsequent updates (new songs, deleted Mixes still showing on iPhone, removing Holiday songs from Genius) will update in my mac but not on my iPhone 5S? I have Match and have tried updating Genius & Match numerous time but no luck Any advice?

My iTunes library will no longer sync to my iPhone or iPad, nor will it play from my Mac. My Library is on my external HD. iTunes is correctly looking to the HD as its library. Please help...
Guys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply, then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes. Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day. -
Bookmarks are not syncing to ONE of my Macs, but showing up on other Mac (work), iPhone 4 and iPad 1. Macs are on Mountain Lion. Tried all of Apple's suggestions - and the one Mac is still not updating/syncing Bookmarks or Reading List. What's going on? Do I have to wait to OS update? It seems lots of peolple were having issues before ML, but I as fine. Since ML, I am having all kinds of issues!
Yeah, I literally have tried everything except deleting my iCloud account (I'm close, but that would require so many changes that it is way too painful to consider at this point).
I am still waiting to hear back from Apple Support. Hopefully something can be done, or they can do a reset on their end.
Thanks for taking the time to respond though, much appreciated! -
Hi,
I have lost all data on my iphone by mistake. I needed to restore the phone and I didnt realize my back-up was 1yr old, and now the phone is restored and I've got a year old contact list and iMessage chat history. Luckily my iMessage on the Mac is still valid and has all the chat history. My question is how can I restore iMessage chats on my iPhone 4 from my Mac? I have all the chat history on my Mac, but there seems to be no sync function from Mac to iphone. Please advice.If things seem to be going haywire with your phone, it seems that it MAY be a software issue.
Now, that being said, that does not necessarily mean that it is a virus. Software issues do happen sometimes. It is probably just coincidence.
What you need to do is restore the device using iTunes. This will fix any software issues. After you have done this, you can restore from an iCloud backup.
iCloud does not back up the actual software, so no, the "virus" would not have gotten into the backups.
The link below provides steps on restoring your device using iTunes as well as how to restore from an iCloud backup.

On the sharing option it gives you, how do I sync music from iphone to mac without plugging it in?
I have them both turned on, on the mac and my iphone, but for whatever reason tehy are not transferring. I just need help on how to make this happen!
Do you have an iCloud account? If so, from iTunes, Store Preferences, check the automatic downloads you want to sync. If you check Music, the music you purchase form iTunes will sync via iCloud to your iPhone if you have the iPhone Settings > Store > Automatic Download of Music switched on. The computer will download and store automatically all purchases from the iTunes store and sync to the iPhone.
If you have music that is not from the iTunes store you have to purchase iTunes Match, about $25/yr.
