Sync notes across iPad3 and iPhone 4 ? Is asking me to create a new @me account. How do I get these two devices to sync notes.

I am trying to sync notes from an iPad3 to an iPhone 4 and I'm being asked to create an @me account. Why and should I do it? Thanks Kpinger

You need to be signed in to the same iCloud account on both devices in order to have notes (and other things like calendar, mail, contacts, reminders etc) synced.
Getting a @me account is the best and quickest way to get an iCloud account as you get @me as part of the iCloud service. You can however, use any of your existing email addresses to sign up for an iCloud account at http://icloud.com

  • I've recently started to use Numbers but when I try to sync to iCloud it asks me to create a new iCloud account. Problem is I already have one and that's the one I want to use. Looks like I have the same situation on my iphone. Any guidance? Thanks.

    The only option I'm being given is to create an lCloud account.
    Any guidance? Thanks.

    The last thing you want is a second iCloud account. Try logging out and back in in System Preferences. If that doesn't work, I'd get AppleCare on the line.

    If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
    If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...

  • Upgraded to 10.6.1.7 as prompted and now cannot see any music purchased since March 23, 2012.  How can I get these back?

    Upgraded to 10.6.1.7 as prompted and now cannot see any music purchased since March 23, 2012.  How can I get these back?
    The error message says it cannot find the file but it exists as it was transferred to my ipod.
    Thanks.

    Ack! We don't need that much.
    What you posted looks like the iTunes Library.xml file  I will let you read about how iTunes works but not only is the .xml not your main library it is just the listing of tracks in your library and where the music files should be located.  Your music is actually in media files (by the way, it is pointless to zip those as they are already compressed).  Anyway, read these and you will see that your true library file (iTunes Library.itl) is only a small, but still important, part of a complete library.
    What are the iTunes library files? - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660

    Where are my iTunes files located? - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
    As you can see, a library has several components, so "getting it back" depends upon what is missing, what it was you actually backed up in the end, if any of this music was purchased from the iTunes Store, etc.

  • I had my Itunes account disabled due to fraud, if i create a new itunes account how can i switch purchases and apps to the new ID?

    i had my Itunes account disabled due to fraud, if i create a new itunes account how can i switch purchases and apps to the new ID?

    Hi ...
    Just be cause the account was disabled (Apple ID) doesn't mean you can't reset the password and have access to your iTunes purchases.
    Use the iforgot link to reset your password > Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
    If you have problems resetting, use the email form here >   Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us

  • HT2589 We have several devices and they don't show up in my account, how do I get all my devices into one account.

    We are trying to figure up how to get all our devices to be recognized in one account.

    Hi nesonmcbride,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The following resources will help you associate your iPad and iPhone with your Apple ID.  
    Apple - Support - My Support Profile
    https://supportprofile.apple.com
    If you don't see your iPad or iPhone listed, click on the "Add Products" link at the bottom left corner of this page.
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4627
    When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it, with a maximum of 5 computers at any time. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. You can view which devices or computers are currently associated with your Apple ID, remove unused devices or computers, and view how many days remain before the devices or computers can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer:
    Open iTunes.
    Sign in to your Apple ID by choosing Store > Sign In from the iTunes menu.
    Choose Store > View My Account from the iTunes menu.
    From the Account Information screen, click Manage Devices. 
    Next to each device or computer name, you will be able to see when each device or computer was associated with your Apple ID. You will also be able to track how many days remain before your associated devices or computers can be associated with a different Apple ID.
    Note: If no devices have been associated with the Apple ID, then the Manage Devices section will not be visible.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • My problem is I am running OS 10.5.8, and the Software Update button says there are no new updates. How do I get from here to the latest OS version? I also can't update my iTunes because of running this old 10.5.8.

    I need help updating my OS from the 10.5.8. It is causing a variety of problems in turn.

    10.6 is the next OSX.  It is not just an update of 10.5.
    Call 1-800-MY-APPLE to order a DVD: $19 for single user license disk, $29 for s 5-user license disk.  With Amazon charging much more than $19 for a songle disk license, I purchased a 5-user disk in case I need it and ONLY Amaazon is left.

  • When I open iTunes store I only have the options 'iTunes U', 'Podcasts' and 'App Store'. I don't see 'Music', 'Books' etc. How do I get these?

    As in the heading.

    Unfortunately you don't. Not all content types are available in all countries (due to licensing and in some cases a country's laws etc), and in the UAE there are only Apps, Podcasts, iTunes U and free books (a full list of what is available where is shown on this page) - so unfortunately you cannot purchase music, films, tv shows or paid for books from Apple. Are there other media purchase download sites in the UAE that you could use ?

  • HT4436 I want to turn on Notes on my iphone, but it keeps saying that I have to create a new icloud account to do so. Why? I already have an apple account that's @gmail instead of @icloud.

    Yeah. So. Basically what the giant-*** title that I didn't think was just a title said: Why should I have to create a new @icloud account? And how do I make my idiot phone not ask me to do so?

    It's not asking you to create a new iCloud account or AppleID - it is asking you to create an iCloud email address within your existing iCloud account.
    You need to create an iCloud email address because that is where the Notes you want to use are stored and how they are 'synced' between devices and iCloud.

    I have downloaded InDesign and Photoshop on my laptop through icloud (I pay a monthly subscription), how do I get these programs onto my PC?, Is it through ITunes, because I have looked there under preferences and have ticked the right boxes on Store, but not sure where to go now

    Ask Adobe how to do it, it's their software.

    Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
    If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
    BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
    Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
    Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call?  You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
    Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

  • My husband and I had been sharing an iTunes account, which resulted in his apps and music being synced to my iPhone and mine to his. . . very annoying.  So I created a new iTunes account, but now no devices show up in the sidebar so I can't sync my phone.

    My husband and I had been sharing an iTunes account, which meant that when he synced his iPhone, all his apps and music appeared on mine as well, and vice versa.  This was annoying, so I created my own account and have changed the Apple id on my phone.  However, when I try to sync it on iTunes, no devices at all show up in the sidebar.  What am I doing wrong?

    Whenever a menu choice is grayed out, that is because you have Restrictions turned on in Settings.  Be sure to turn it off.
    You are confusing an itunes store account with an icloud account.  You two can continue using the same ID for itunes (thus sharing purchased music, apps, etc.), but you really should have separate accounts (different IDs) for icloud, since an account is intended for one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
    To create a new icloud account, go to
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    Then go to Settings>icloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Delete Account.  (have restrictions turned off)  That will disconnect the device from the account but will not delete data in icloud or other devices.  Then sign in using the new ID.
