Synching problem with IPhone 5 and Mac Laptop

I can't get my IPhone 5 calendar to synch with my laptop ( MAC OS X).
Thanks,
Mary

I see your Mac OS version is 10.5. You'll need to upgrade to at least Snow Leopard to get iTunes 10.7 or later. Without that, your phone simply won't appear in iTunes.

Multiple problems with iphone and itunes

Long time iphone and mac user here. We have 5 iphones in our family and 4 mac computers. I am fairly competent with them. That said we have nothing but problems when trying to get our iphones to sync or update through itunes. Today i had just had enough so i am spending the day trying to resolve all of the random errors we are getting. This isn't up to Apple's usual quality standards. We have an iphone 5 and an iphone 4 synced to a windows 7 64bit. The issues below are with the iphone 5. All software updates for phone, itunes, and pc have been done. I have uninstalled itunes, cleaned reg, then reinstalled just now. (this resulted in new errors...).
Here are my issues:
1. SQLlite.dll error (fixed this one myself by copying the files)
2. The iphone could not be backed up becuase the back up is not compatible or is corrupted error - can't back up iphone manually over wifi or cable
3. The iphone could not be synced becuase the iphone could not be found on the network - this just started when i resinstalled itunes. i've plugged and unplugged the phone about a dozen times, restarting the computer and phone each time. We've had problems getting our phones to sync for a while now but usually we can get it to work by plugging/unplugging over and over again, but not anymore.
Thanks in advance for your help with this.

Okay here's the entire deal it's my gf's Mac and we used to use it together I would sync on her labtop but now we are having issues and she continues to take my phone when I'm sleeping and connect it to iTunes and then proceed to go through all my things. So basically is there anyway I can remove my phone of iTunes or maybe have a pass code on iTunes for my phone so in order for it to be synced there has to be a passcode entered? Or just is there a way to stop this from happening?

Problems with ipod synching between pc desktop and mac laptop?

Has anyone had any problems trying to synch their ipod in both a windows desktop version of itunes and a mac laptop version of itunes? if it is all ready synched with windows will it be compatible to synch to a mac laptop?
thanks

Click here and follow the instructions; Windows formatted iPods can be synced by the Mac version of iTunes, but not have their firmware updated without a restore except in the case of the iPod shuffle.

Solved synch problem with iphone 2.0 outlook 2007, win XP Pro and Mobile Me

I've been struggling with this mobile me business, and I hope that I solved it for me and therefore for you. I have the components listed above. I noticed that my iphone was no longer synching to outlook '07. Can't remember if that was before or after I updated to iphone 2.0 Regardless, neither the dock nor the mobile me synch worked. ( It would go through the motions of the synch, but then when I went to look at the phone, it had not changed at all. )
In reading the posts, it appeared that all of the solutions pointed toward a corruption in the pst file. Most of the solutions are based on the fact that there is some item in the calander section ( or the contacts) data that is corrupt. Fortunately, I have a proprietary calander in my office and I use outlook as the conduit for getting that info onto my iphone through itunes. So, I deleted all of the appointments in outlook and then tried to synch a blank outlook with the iphone and it worked! So, all I had to do was then resynch my office proprietary software back to outlook ( which worked ok) and now it's working fine. In fact, that solved the mobile me issue as well....
So, I hope this helps you out there..eveyone's case is different, but it does appear that if you've reinstalled itunes, reinstalled outlook and tried everything else, that the problem resides in the pst file and there is some appointment or contact that itunes does not like.
Hope this helps.

Hi skoppang,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand you are having difficulty syncing your contacts and calendars from Microsoft Outlook 2007 to your iPhone 4s. There may be a few different steps to complete to help isolate and resolve this. Please use the following article as a reference.

Synching problems with pages and numbers

After an initial problem with synching which was resolved with Yosemite Pages and Numbers have been synching across all my devices for a couple of weeks and now all of a sudden they have stopped again!! They synch across my phones and iPad but not to my macbook pro!! Very very annoying! How do I resolve it?

Found a solution, but it is odd:
On the 2008 Mac Pro, I UNCHECK the boxes beside Pages and Numbers in System Preferences > iCloud > iCloud Drive > Options. Now Pages and Numbers will properly save edited documents to the appropriate folders on iCloud Drive.
Go figure ...
Hope that this helps someone else.

Outlook no longer syncing with iPhone and Mac??

I was formerly syncing Outlook with iPhone just fine on my Mac...now it's not working!! I think I had to do something via iCal. Whatever it was it's not working and need help ASAP! (no need for iCloud and know that does not work!!!)

I have the same problem too. My iphone is not syncing with my addressbook on the mac, no matter what I try, it is very very frustrating!!

Confliction errors with iPhone and Mac Mail

I am having constant issues with the iPhone causing my Mac Mail to dislay "The POP server *** rejected the password for user *******" dialog box when the iPhone and/or any of my computers try to pick up mail at the same time on the same accounts. The password and user name are correct. Has anyone found a setting to enable multiple computers and iPhone to collect mail from the same accounts without issue? Does this same issue happen with Entourage?

A POP account is not designed to be accessed by multiple email clients at the same time and the email client used makes no difference in this regard at the incoming mail server for the account.
This is usually not a problem with an IMAP account. I don't have this problem with my .Mac account - the Mail.app on my PB runs 24/7 checking my email accounts for new messages every 15 minutes. Since using the iPhone to access my .Mac account and a business POP account, the POP account on my PB is taken offline but not my .Mac account. I've accessed my .Mac account with both at the same time with no problems.
If you are unable to switch to an IMAP account, you will need to turn off having the POP account checked for new messages automatically by the Mail.app.

Problem with iPhone and iPad keyboard shortcuts

When I try to access the keyboard shortcuts in either my iPhone 6+, iPad 3 or iPad Air, the sequence Settings>General>Keyboard>Shortcuts causes the devices to go back to the Home Screen. I spent several hours in a chat with Apple Support, had to go through an iTunes back up on the iPhone and restored it to "new phone" and it fixed the problem on the iPhone, but not on the iPads. Chatted again today with Support, tried hard reset (press both buttons till Apple logo appears) on the iPad 3 and I could access the shortcuts. Did the same on the iPad Air with no luck.
Now, one hour after second Support chat, none of the devices can access the shortcuts. There must be a problem with iCloud for this to be happening on all 3 devices.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Same problem also and if I restore both the iPhone and iPad as new I
lose a lot of progress in my games.

Problem with Iphone and telephone provider

In October last year I bought Iphone 4 in T com Croatia. In the beggining of October 2012 Iphone 4 had a problem with charging. It says charging, but nothing happened. I gave Iphone to telephone provider in order to send it on service because of warranty. After three weeks no information about it. I went there, in T com Pozega, and after I asked about my Iphone, they said, nothing yet. OK, I will wait more, I said. After almoust 4 weaks I went again to t com office in Pozega. Now, again nothing, but person told me that they will contac service Mobis electronic in Zagreb to check. They called me by phone next day and told me that Iphone is out of order because something was spilled on it. Now. I have a big problem. On the Iphone nothing was spilled for sure from my side. I asked them who can garanty that something was not spilled during the time in the T com office or in service. They said, service has a picture to support their report. In other hand, they offer to me to pay 200 euros more, and they will give me new Iphone 4. Just to know, I paid already for Iphone 4 almoust 500 euros. I said no, I want Iphone back, and now I decide to go with another way. I will go to judge and try to get situation to my satisfaction. A lots of information, very bad, I got from other people, and they said, the picture what I received they are sending to everyone the same. And for them it is very easy to ask more money and no repairing with warranty. The picture which I received is nothing, no picture of Iphone, no IMEI, nothing. I hope, you can advice me what to do. I like Iphone so much, and as many people told me, contact Apple, they will help, I am doing that. So, please, help me. Just for your information, they asked 200 euros additional for new, but after that cheaf of T com section in Pozega told me, that normally they are giving new Iphone and no repairing. Why then my Iphone they sent to service. Probably in order to keep money for themselves. I cant do much against service because their words are last, even they are lying to people.

Getting into a legal battle will cost more than the 200 euros, so that may not provide a solution. Go to the offices of T-Com and request their "official" first notification of a Customer caused failure of the iPhone. Tell them you need it to pursue legal action against them for such an accusation and such a long-time to provide such an excuse for trying to extract additional money for your iPhone. Try to talk with the Manager in charge of the location. See if he/she is willing to negotiate to an agreeable settlement. An iPhone 4 replacement should be available to them for far less than 200 euros at this point.

Problems with wrt610n and mac mini (MA206LL/A*)

i purchased a new wrt610n and one of the machines that is connected is a mac mini, 1.66 ghz intel core duo.
#ma2066/ll/a for those who want to compare notes. the computer is stock with the 802.11g wireless card
that came with the machine. it is running the current software and all the updates are up to date.
i am using wpa 2 personal w / aes
their is some kind of incompatibility or issue between the wrt610n and the mac mini.
either using the wireless connection OR connected directly to the router, web pages are very slow to load. sometimes it can take
up to 45 seconds for the mac mini to open up a webpage. for 45 seconds it is at 'contacting website'
when i try to run software update, i get a time out error -1001, make sure you can connect to the internet and try again.
hulu desktop is also running slow.
copying a file from the mac mini to a another computer over wifi averages about 1 mb/s
when i informed linksys about this problem, they took my phone number and said that a linksys technician / senior tech support employee
would call me back. that was a day or so ago. i asked if i can have any newer firmware, considering the latest is 5 months old.
i am considering returning this router, but i don't see a lot of good alternatives that have similar features. i have 21 days to return this. the restocking fee will be 15% i am also considering various 802.11n solutions for the mac mini, even including the dell 1500 wireless mini card, i heard it works as an airport card.
if i do get a different model router i would like external antennas.
my previous router was a 5 year old wrt54gs version 2.0, and it never had a problem with any of the computers with the network.
the trouble shooting steps involved changing the beacon to 75 and the mtu to something else, i forgot. it did not make a difference.
i moved the mini and connected it wired to the wrt610 and turned off the airport wireless card and there was no improvement.
when i disconnected the wrt610n and connected the mac mini directly to my dsl modem. the issues were suddenly gone.
theres some kind of problem with this particular unit. and i would like to hear from others who have solved this or are experiencing
the same probem

Best e-mail server to use with iPhone and Mac?

I've always used hotmail as my e-mail server. Recently, I've started using the Mail app on my MacBook Pro instead. I really hate that the mail on my iPhone and the mail on my Mac do not sync with one another. Any suggestions??

should I forward any emails I would like to keep to my gmail account or is there a faster way of doing this?

If AHT detects no errors with RAM, try Rember.
One of my Macs was having problems and AHT was not able to detect any problems with RAM. As soon as I tried Rember, it was able to show me the error right away.

IOS5 update problems with iphone and ipad

I first tried to update my iphone 4, with zero success. All software updated on my macbook pro, then when i began to update the iphone, i got stuck on "contacting iphone activation server". I can still manage my iphone and eject it, but no update. This was yesterday and 24 hours later whenver i turn on my ituens, it still says "contacting iphone activation server". iTunes is mostly functional still, but it won't connect to the iTunes store. Next I tried my iPad (1) which successfully updated, but even though I synced from a backup to iTunes, none of my apps or data is on the iPad other than my email. Now when I plug in my iPad I cannot manually manage it. The screen in iTunes when I click my iPad is just a grey screen that says iPad. No info, or buttons to choose manual or automatic update. And the iTunes bar at the top still says "accessing iTunes store", "contacting iphone activation server" and also "genius accessing iTunes store". I get that I'm obviously not connnecting to sites, but why is my ipad not responding in iTunes? I dont think that being connected to iTunes is that important to managing your iPad since I've done it several times with no internet connection.
Please help! I really dont want to have to email myself all of my documents that I want on my iPad, or try to sync them over my webdav.
Cheers

I found a bit of a work around that is working for me, strange but it works.
Adding the photo album sub folders 1 at a time and syncing. Then when it completes, add another one, confirm the pics are there and continue process. I now have over 35k photos and no gaps or empty albums but if I do more than 2 or 3 they show up empty.
If empty, unsync them, and add 1 at a time.

I have iPad2 and original iPad. After upgrade to iOS5 neither will connect to wifi network. Network is working as I have connectivity with iPhone and Mac Airbook. What's the problem?

I have downloaded iOS 5 to both iPad 2 and original iPad. I cannot get wifi to work on either. It's not my wifi as I have connectivity with other devices, just not with the iPad. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem. The iPad has never roamed particularly well between access points, but under IOS6 it doesn't seem to roam at all, it simply sticks with the access point it first connected with.
I don't have a solution for you, unfortunately.
