Sync question for iCloud library

Still trying to get my head around the new Photos app...
So I have iCloud photo library enabled on my iPhone amid my Mac. If I take a photo on my iPhone it will then automatically appear in my Photos app on Mac? If I then delete the photo on my iPhone, will it be deleted from my Mac?

How to change the contact sync settings for icloud? please advise

how to change the contact sync settings for icloud? please advise?

There are no settings to change. Assuming you are using Lion 10.7.2 (or 10.7.3) - which you should be - you simply sign in in System Preferences>iCloud and check 'Contacts' and any other data you want to sync.
If you are using an earlier system you will not be able to sync your contacts, and there is no workaround. However you can sync them with Google or Yahoo contacts, though I don't know how well this works.

Playlist Syncing question for Ipod Classic

I recently bought a 120 gig Ipod while I have over a 120 gigs of music. I synced it to my library and the usual "there is not enough room, do you want us to select music to put on the ipod" message came up. I put yes and it made me the playlist and synced to my iPod
However, now it won't let me make any other playlists to sync to it, even if I use the songs that are already on the iPod. It only syncs the one playlist that it originally made. I don't even see the recently played, or top 25 played songs/playlists on it.
Anyone know how to make new playlists that I can sync to it?

Instead of syncing to the default playlist created by iTunes, create your own Smart Playlist to limit the contents of your iPod. Something like this:
o Match all criteria
o Kind does not contain video
o Last Played is not in the last 14* days
o Limit to 100GB* selected by Random
*You can change these numbers to suit your preference.
If you sync to this playlist, it will serve as the "master" playlist. If you want additional playlists, you can either create more smart playlists that contain the criteria "Playlist is (playlist name)" where you use the name of the master playlist. You can also create regular playlists, but those may contain content that is outside the master playlist, thus increasing the amount of music you sync to and possibly exceed your iPod's capacity again.
If you go this route, you can auto-sync to just these playlists. The "Last Played" criteria in your master playlist lets you cycle through your library -- as songs are played they are removed from your iPod within 14 days (or however long you prefer).
There is a very helpful guide on this subject located here:

Calendar sync question with iCloud.

My wife and I have separate apple id's and would like our home calendars to sync across multiple devices. Is this possible with iCloud?

Your profile states that you are using OS X 10.5.6, whereas you need OS X 10.7.2 or better in able to run iCloud on your Mac. As a result your calendars and contacts will be unable to sync with your iCloud account. You will however be able to access your calendars and contacts through your web browser on your Mac at iCloud.com

Syncing Question for iPhone 4S

I have a fairly large number of songs in my itunes library and on my phone that I don't actually want. Recently, I started deleting songs from my phone if I didn't want them. If I sync my iTunes with my iPhone, will the songs I deleted from my phone also be deleted from my iTunes library? Or will they be restored? I want them to be permanently deleted without having to delete from both iTunes and iPhone individually.
Thanks!

No data in your iTunes library will ever be deleted when syncing.
The songs you deleted from your iPhone should be deselected from being transferred to your iPhone with the following sync.
And you don't have to delete songs from your iTunes library to be removed from your iPhone. There are a number of options in regards to music for transferring select content from your iTunes library to your iPhone. You can make use of an iTunes playlist or multuple playlists. Choose selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Select the iTunes playlist or playlists in the Playlists window followed by a sync and/or select the albums, artists, or genres you want transferred followed by a sync. To remove a song or playlist, album, or genre from your iPhone, deselect the playist, album, or genre under the Music tab followed by a sync. Or remove select songs from a selected playlist in iTunes followed by a sync. Or you can select sync only checked songs and videos under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by deselecting or unchecking the songs in your iTunes library you want removed from your iPhone followed by a sync.
You have a myriad of available options in regards to transferring and removing music from your iPhone without having to touch your iTunes library in regards to deleting content, etc.

Always stay in "wait for sync" state for iCloud document

From yesterday, I can not sync any document via iCloud document service. The documents are in "wait for sync" state forever, both on Mac OS X and iOS. This problem appeared in the Preview app, the TextEdit app, and all three iWork applications. I've tested 2 mac with 2 different network. Same problem.
However, the iCal, Note and Reminder are still working.
Is there anyone who can figure out what the problem is?

Mail sync question for iPhone & Macbook

Does iphone sync with mail on the macbook, to delete messages that are unwanted? or do i have to essentially handle those twice, once when viewing mail on my phone, and then again when I am on my computer?

The phone itself does not sync mail at all, just the settings for the accounts.
If you set up the account as IMAP, then deleting on the phone will delete from the server, which will mirror to the macbook (or however IMAP works).
If you set up the account as POP, then you'll have to handle each email twice.

A boring 'does it sync' question for Nokia 6131

Thinking about a new phone, and want isyncability
Any experience with how well the Nokia 6131 works??
I know its not on the 'offical' list and I believe there is a plug in available, but wondered if it actually worked out of the box

Yes, there is a free patch here: http://www.mactomster.de/isync/
It's completely in German but all you need to do is download the patch and drag the plug in into the alias labeled in red on the .dmg. Then restart iSync and add your Nokia (having already paired the phone using Bluetooth Setup Assistant, of course). It works great for me.

Billing question for iCloud storage

Hi Folks,
I recently upgraded my storage from the free 5GB with an additional 10GB--I paid $20 for a year of this. I needed even more storage than this, so I upgraded to the 20GB per year. Instead of charging me an additional $20, for the additional 10GB, it charged me $40 for the additional 10 GB. I have tried to find out who to call to correct this--I am assuming it is an error, if not it is consumer fraud--and have had no luck. Does anyone have any ideas on who to contact and how to contact them? I have called several support numbers and have gotten nowhere.
Many thanks for any help anyone may have to offer.
All the best,
Don56

Hello Tesskwon,

ITunes sync question for 3GS

I was just wondering, since I setup my 3GS off of a back up of my 3G & everything from that phone is on my new one down to the total talk time. Now that I'm using my 3G as a iPod what happens when I sync the 3G? Does iTunes know the difference because of the serial numbers or will I need to dump everything on one of the two devices?

no...you'll be good, it will sync with multiple devices...
just so long as you are logged into the correct itunes account.
i sync 2 iphones, and 2 ipod touches on my mac book pro, but i have to make sure i'm in the correct account... i sync my touch and iphone to one account, and everything works fine...
once the device shows up in itunes, right click it and click transfer, and it will import everything on both devices, then do a back up, you should be in good shape...

FCP Sound Syncing Question

Hey Everyone,
I have an audio syncing question for you. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I am cutting in FCP. I logged and captured my footage and with timecode breaks, etc. the tape was cut up, and I was left with eight files, let's call them Footage1-Footage8. I have completed my cut of the piece using the in-camera audio that was linked to the video on the DV tape that I imported. Our sound guy in the field used a DAT recorder to record the production audio and apparently captured the timecode to the audio files, so that it matches the video (i.e. the DAT recorder and our cameras - DVX-100s had synced timecode during the shoot). The DVD he gave me has 20 audio files as .wav, let's call them Audio1-Audio20. My question is, now that I have finished my cut, I would like to replace the current audio tracks with the production audio. How can I sync the audio with the video and replace it in what I've cut. Or perhaps I can't, in which case - how can I sync them up and THEN cut, but I'd really rather have to not do that, lol!
Thanks for your advice!

Sorry about the long winded post, though.
I guess my real question, summarized is - is there a way to sync separately recorded production audio (that has timecode) with the footage that I shot (that has the same timecode as the audio, but also has in camera audio that accompanies the video track - I would imagine I can just "cut" the extra audio tracks, however).
I'm at my bay trying to figure this out, and I've got nothing, and the people I work for don't want to spring for that bwf2xml program you were talking about What's the emote for pulling one's hair out?

TS4009 all of my audio purchases from itunes are stored on my iphone which is taking up all of my memory. can i back them up to icloud? i tried to sync with my itunes library, but the library on my computer doesn't contain all of my songs.

All of my purchases from iTunes are stored on my iPhone and taking up all of my memory. I want to store the music in iCloud if possible, but I can't get it to work. I tried to sync my phone to iTunes, but the library on my computer is all screwed up! I backed up my library to my harddrive, but now a lot of the songs aren't there and the ones that are there have multiple duplicates! If I try to sync my phone to my computer I'm afraid it will sync to the current library on my computer and I will lose all of the music on my phone! HELP this is driving me crazy!

There's a menu choice (I think under "Files") that lets you sync purchased items on a device back to itunes. Look for that.
iCloud does not store music. If you want to do that you'd have to subscribe to itunes Match, but to get music to the match servers, you need the music in the itunes library on your computer.

ICloud Library stopped sync'ing

I have Photos.app and iCloud Library on two computers, sync'ing with an iPhone 6. Everything was working perfectly for a week - any changes on one device showed up on the others very quickly. Then suddenly my main computer stopped receiving updates. Newly shot photos show up on my laptop and at icloud.com, but never appear on my main machine. Photos on the main machine says "Last updated Monday" (it's now Friday).
I've tried restarting, and tried pausing and resuming sync in the prefs, but nothing seems to get it going again. All machines are on the same wifi network, the phone is fully charged, all updates are applied.
Ideas?

Solved! But it wasn't pretty. In case it's helpful to others, here's how I solved it:
I finally got desperate and in the preferences, disabled iCloud Photo Library, then after a few minutes, re-enabled it. When I re-enabled it, it said I had 86 "referenced files" that it needed permission to access. After some Googling, I realized that referenced files are files that don't live within the Photos library folder, but that are linked to. It then told me to find these referenced files and pull down File | Consolidate to bring them into the Photos library. It did not tell me *how* to find them, but I got creative and made a Smart Album of all images with type "referenced."
The smart album revealed the problem images, but when I selected some and pulled down File | Consolidate, Photos said it needed permission and told me to navigate to ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Masters/2012 and put up a file navigation dialog. So the "referenced" files were still in iPhoto! Huh? My other 20,000 images had migrated over just fine. No idea why this was. But here's where the 2nd problem began. I *could not* navigate to that folder, since "iPhoto Library" does not appear in the Finder as a folder. So the dialog was telling me to do something impossible.
After puzzling on this for a while, I realized that the problem could be solved by deleting the references to external files from Photos and re-importing them manually. I launched iPhoto and manually found all 86 images (they were from three albums and fortunately I'm good about titling and labeling, so was able to find them easily. I then exported them from iPhoto as full res originals, deleted the references in Photos, and imported the old problem images as if they were new.
Photos then churned against iCloud overnight. By morning, it had become unstuck, and the photos I've shot over the past week are now present.
So the problem was not the new photos, but some old photos that for some reason had not migrated over from iPhoto properly. And Photos was recommending a fix that was impossible to achieve the way it was instructing me to. What a mess.

Moved to iCloud will Sync icon go away? Any issues with separate emails for iCloud/iTunes?

Just moved from MobileMe to iCloud. Think I made a boo boo using my me.com address to set it up. I don't use it for iTunes purchases (or anything else for that matter), so now I have the Cloud working with that email address and my iTunes with another that I purchase with. I do share my iTunes account with my kids and thought maybe this was the way to go with iCloud. They have their own me.com addresses in their iPod's for iCloud and my iTunes ID for iTunes purchases. Just thinking I should have used my same iTunes account ID address accross the board.
Anyway, back to the other question...what happens to the Sync icon at the top of all our screens when using iCloud? Isn't it just for MobileMe? Will it go away in June when the service ends? If I click it does it do anything now that I am using iCloud? It seems there is a really long delay between iCal on my desktop iMac seeing changes made on my iPhone 4s or iCloud. Is that normal? Is there a way to manually "refresh" it on the desktop so it sees the changes faster?
Thanks, Sandy

No. You will need to upgrade to Lion to sync with your computer. You can use the web version of icloud but it is clunky and doesn't work as well.
