Synch with iMac

Is ther any way to easily synch Pages to an iMac. The program is pretty useless for me until I can truly synch it across all my Mac devices

Peter: You don't have a case to be made to the ACCC. Check what Apple's web site actually says. There's no suggestion that the syncing you _want_ is what Apple advertise or offer.
The iWork site says:
"iWork for Mac makes it easy to create and design beautiful documents, spreadsheets, and presentations on your Mac."
"iWork for iOS. iWork is also available for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch — and it works seamlessly across all three devices."
Only the OS X Mountain Lion web page suggests the syncing you want: "So when you add, delete, or edit something on your Mac, it happens on your iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. And vice versa." It's due in Winter/Summer.
The iTunes Store listing for Pages only says iCloud works with iOS devices. And the iCloud web pages accurately describes the "clumsy manual download and upload" process you mention: "You can also drag and drop any iWork ’09 or Microsoft Office document from your computer into one of the iWork apps on icloud.com, and it automatically appears on all your iOS devices, ready for you to review, edit, or present."
Howard's question was: "Is ther any way to easily synch Pages to an iMac. The program is pretty useless for me until I can truly synch it across all my Mac devices".
The short answer without your irrelevant axe grinding is: No, Pages documents don't yet sync with a Mac. This is coming with OS X Mountain Lion in Winter/Summer. In the meantime you can download and upload Pages documents using iCloud in a web browser.

Migrating from and synching with imac

I am about to purchase the 13'' 2.53ghz macbook pro and will migrate from my iMac. What is the best way to ensure that new work (documents/files) on my macbook pro or my imac is synched with the other machine? Would I use my idisk? If so how? Thanks J

Hi
I too have an iMac and a MacBook which I like to keep synced (all documents the same on both machines).
I would have to second what the first reply says. Use a USB drive or a networked drive.
I have tried iDisk and quite frankly found it horribly slow and unreliable. If you don't turn on iDisK sync then you only have access to stuff if you have internet access, and if you do turn on iDisk sync it is very unreliable and slow at up loading new files , so I found I could never trust that a file would be there for me when I wanted it next. It is a nice idea, but for me anyway it does not work well enough yet.
I use a USB stick and just plug it into which ever Mac i happen to be using. This has the advantage for me over a networked drive because I can use it anywhere, I don't have to be connected to my network.
Of course mobile me will keep data like calendars and address book synced, and I have to say it does a good job there. It keeps this info synced for me across both Macs, an iPhone and iPod Touch. It is just the iDisk bit of things I find a bit clunky and slow.
Hope this helps

Ipad2 will not do Wi-Fi Synch with Imac

Hello
I am running an IPad2 using 5.0.1 and have an Imac running OSX 10.6.8 with Itunes 10.5.1. I can not get the Ipad2 to do a ITunes Wi-Fi Synch. The "Synch Now" button is always grayed out. The Ipad2 is on my home network C11P2. The Imac is connected via an ethernet cat 5 cable to the router, and connected via WiFi to C11P2 also.
What am i doing wrong?
Regards
Ted

I'm giving this a try to see if it fixes it: On my Mac under iTunes -> Preferences -> Devices, the box was checked for "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically." I'm hoping this fixes the problem.

Entries Input to iPhone5 Calendar have stopped synching with iMac/iPad

Up until a few days ago, any calendar entry that I input to my iPhone5 would automatically synch to my iMac and iPad. It just worked without me having done any changes to either system.
Now, when I put an entry into my iPhone Calendar, it no longer appears on my iMac but it does appear on my iPad(Original Model).
As I run a small photography studio on my own, it is important that everything synchs - I'd rather not have to go back to using a Filofax.
Hope someone can help

Are you wanting to import iCal to the MacBook Air. Since iCloud doesn't work with 10.6 OSX you probably don't have any data in iCloud yet?

I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie. Any suggestions to fix?

Thanks for the reply. I tried playing with detaching the audio in iMovie, but with 20+ hours of video to correct, it would take too long. After 28 hours, Corel/Roxio tech support replied that it is a known bitrate mismatch problem and they have no real fix. I strongly suggest not to buy this product.

IMac synch with Apple TV

I have an Apple TV with hard drive. Every time my iMac & iTunes synch with my Apple TV ( ATV ), it takes anything I have purchased from my ATV to the Mac and then "copies" it BACK to the ATV. However, when I try to play any content, it either tells me that I cannon play it because the "the selected video/content cannot play on your Apple TV" or is says "the selected video cannot be found"!
Has anyone else run into this issue? I have purchased music videos, TV programs, music & movies via my ATV but every time I try to synch it does this completely ludicrous "removing" from my ATV to the iMac and back only to never allow me to play anything once this happens. Then I have to do a download all over again to my Apple TV. Worse still, I have been getting charged time and again for content I purchased already!

Thank you for your response. I did disable the auto synch however, whenever I want to put new music on my apple tv ( I purchase new music cd's every month ) I must synch it. Even if I disable the synch it tells my apple TV to not allow me to use purchased content on my apple TV when I turn this off, so I must allow it. And I have the old style apple TV to keep my content on because I have lost 2 hard drives in the past with all my music so I keep it on both of my devices. This trouble only started about 15 months ago when apple "updated" iTunes and has been like this ever since.
Also, since this ATV does not connect to the cloud even with the new software updates so it is impossible to download it from or to my Apple TV. I am therefore required to use the apple store for content redownload. This trouble has convinced me that I should have never purchased content in this fashion but to stick with buying and owning my own DVD's/Blueray & music cd's. Thank you again.

Suddenly my iPhone4 will not synch with my iMac (OS 10.6.8). What to do?

Suddenly my iPhone 4 (ios4.3.4) will not synch with my iMac (OS 10.6.8). What can be the problem? The iPhone and the iMac seem to work fine in all other was and the iphone gives off its usual sound when plugged into the computer.

iPhoto opens but not iTunes and no synching noted either on iMac or iPhone and after a few seconds iPhone screen goes black. I turned off and restarted. My wife is having the same problem with a different iPhone model and a Macbook. The problem seems to have begun for each of us since upgrading to 10.6.8. There are no error messages for either of us.

Is there a setting on the iphone that will allow ical entries on the iphone to sink to my other computers
Thank-you

Welcome to the Apple community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

ICal on iMac won't synch with iphone 4 with 4s software update

Help please.
Since I updated my iphone 4 with the software for iphone 4s my ical on my imac won't synch with my iphone calendar. Also events are duplicated. It is driving me crazy as I have to check both clandarsd to ensure I don't miss any events and have to physically re enter them separately into the different calendars.
If the fix involves backing up or anything technical can you please explain fully how I do it as I am not a very experienced mac user.
Thanks
Nicole

"Well, I figured it out. The events that weren't syncing from my laptop to my iPhone were events for which I had changed the "calendar". In other words, I set up some events in iCal, all of which were part off the same calendar, but then I didn't like the color of those events. So I created a new calendar and changed these events by right clicking on them to assign them to the new calendar. Somehow, moving these events from the calendar they were created on to a different one caused them not to be recognized by the sync process. This sounds like a bug to me."

What do you mean by 'registered it on iTunes' ? You've authorised your account on your Mac's iTunes via the Store > Authorise This Computer menu option ? And you've copied your library onto the Mac ?

TS1453 Apple TV (1st Generation) no longer synching with iTunes

Since updating to OS X 10.7.4 I am no longer able to synch my Apple TV with iTunes on my 21.5" iMac. The Apple TV appears on the list of devices in iTunes and is connected to the internet, but it will not synch with iTunes on my computer. Also since the update I am no longer able to wirelessly print files and can only print by connecting my printer cable. Looking at the community pages I suspect the problem lies with Bonjour and this may have been affected by the update. Has anyone experienced similar problems, or can you offer help to overcome this frustrating issue?
Kenny 1953

Have you tried the following:
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.
