Syncing iPhone 3Gs and MacBook Pro

I always carry around my iPhone and add things to my calender as they come up during the day. When I get home, I sync the iphone and my home computer (macbook pro). The sync doesn't send the info from my phone to the computer. Only data sent is from computer to iPhone. Am I doing something wrong? PLEASE HELP...

I want to sync my notes between my Iphone 3GS and my Macbook Pro. Right now when I add a note in my Iphone it automatically is added in my mail account in the Macbook.
However, if I add a note in the Macbook, it does not get added to my Iphone.
I'd like it to go both ways. Is this possible?
Thanks!
This forum is really for the MacBook Pro hardware, not for iPhone issues. I think the best place to ask this question is here:

The issue is with configuring your iPhone. I personally gave up trying to make it work.

  • IMessage sync iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro

    For some reason iMessage no longer syncs between my iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro.  How do I re-sync them?
    Thanks!

    Hey there David,
    If you are still not receiving your iMessages between all your ios devices, I recommend the following section of this article:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    If you aren't receiving iMessages across all iOS devices
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on each iOS device and make sure that you signed in with your Apple ID. You must use the same Apple ID on each device.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By iMessage At and make sure that you selected each phone number and email address you want to use with iMessage.
    If you linked a phone number to your Apple ID with iMessage and the phone number hasn't appeared, follow these steps.
    Sign out of your Apple ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and Settings > FaceTime on all devices.
    If you're linking a phone number to an Apple ID, sign in to iMessage on your iPhone first. Then sign in to the rest of your device one by one with iMessage and FaceTime.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Sync iPhone, iPad and Macbook Pro contacts

    Hello.
    Everytime I sync my 3 Apple devices (iPhone 4, iPad 2 and Macbook Pro), I get the same contact 3 or 4 times at my iPhone...
    By other way, I want that the iPad and Macbook Pro can have the same contacts as iPhone, because I update my contacts at iPhone everyday. So, the iPad and Macbook Pro must get the iPhone contacts and not the contrary.
    Can you help me on this, please?
    Regards
    Luis Antunes

    Well I answered my own question.  I just deactivated all the other accounts on my iPhone except iCloud, and all the duplicates disappeared.  Before I did this, I merged duplciate cards on the MacBook Pro (from the Contacts Card menu selection).  iCloud needs to be selected as the default account on all your devices, and it seems that other accounts need to be deactivated.  Be careful - deactivating an account also erases entries associated with only that account.

  • Wifi Problem iPhone 3Gs AND MAcBook Pro Retina 13" 2014

    Hey everyone,
    I recently started to experience a problem with my wifi connection with both my apple devices (an old iPhone 3 Gs and a new Macbook Pro Retina 13''). Both are on the newest (availbe in case of the iPhone) Os X. Let me describe the circumstances:
    I live in a house with 7 other students and the wifi router was quite far away, therefore I installed an ethernet connection with my laptop and tried to get used to a bad wifi signal on my iPhone. Well, at some point I was sick of that and installed an old router I found (Sweex LW050v2). For a time everything was working smoothly until other people in this house though they need another router on our floor and installed one (Sitecom0E5C02). As soon as they did that I started to have troubles on my iPhone and the Macbook as well (when I tried to use the wifi instead of the cable). The issue is not that I loose the wifi connection, but that I can not connect to the internet even though I have a connection to our wifi (I tried with all 3). In the beginning I though this was an issue with our router-setup (you can probably tell I am no expert) but at some point realised that I am the only one with a problem. Since then I have to disconnect from the wifi and connect again every time I loose the internet, which is now almost every 2 minutes!! Thus, my frustration and now me posting here with hopes of receiving help.
    I would much appreciate help or constructive suggestions.
    Thank you

    Hi Fedaja,
    There is a section in both of these articles for troubleshooting connecting to the Internet even when you can connect to Wi-Fi.
    Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity - Apple Support
    (that is for the Mac)
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections - Apple Support

    Please check them out, testing as you go.

  • Unable to sync iPhone 3gs to MacBook Pro 13 inch

    Hello,
    I have a brand new MacBook Pro 13 inch. I connect my iPhone but iTunes is not recognizing it. I am using OS X 10.6 with iOS 4 on the iPhone. I am using iTunes 9.2. Thanks for any ideas.

    Hi,
    they only mention Vista as the latest Windows OS they support.
    And from '...I recently purchased' I assume you have Windows 7 installed.
    Maybe Nymgo isn't Windows7 -ready yet.
    Have you asked their support ?
    Regards

    Since this morning, without having made any change to any setting whatsoever, entries made in the iPhone calendar seem to be duplicated in the iCal as many times as the two sync with each other. I've got the same entries duplicated 4 or 5 times. How do I fix this?

    I cannot sync contacts between my iPhone 4s and MacBook Pro after I upgraded the Mac with the latest operating system software upgrade. Even the Mac Store couldn't help...

    That is because that sync ability (for contacts and calendars) has been removed. Use iCloud instead.

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

  • How do I sync my icloud calendar between iPhone 5 and macbook pro without a 1 hour difference? I've made sure that the time zones are the same on all devices and it's still doing it.

  • Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id

    Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id. When I use I tunes it get confusing and I have a paid app that needs the same id

    When syncing the iPhone and iPad with iTunes on your computer that is logged in with the Apple ID you plan on using on all three, the Apple ID should be transferred to the iPhone and iPad for the iTunes & App Stores on each device. If not, you'll need to sign out of the existing Apple ID on the iPhone and iPad followed by signing in with the Apple ID you want to use on both.
    Keep in mind that all 3rd party apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account or Apple ID that was used to download the apps. With an app installed on your iPad and iPhone that was downloaded with a different Apple ID from the one you will be using now, you will need to use that Apple ID and password to install app updates for those apps. Not possible to transfer apps purchased with one Apple ID to another or to merge Apple IDs.

  • How do i erase a corrupt contact list from iCloud,iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro and restore Address Book backup to all devices and cloud?

    how do i erase a corrupt contact list from iCloud,iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro and restore Address Book backup to all devices and cloud?
    I saved a corrected, most up to date version of my master Address Book Contacts as a back-up on my Mac Book Pro.
    then in an effort to "simplify my life"  i attempted to sync my I phone contacts - ( pre clean-up version) with my clean list on Mac Book Pro, New I pad and newly available icloud. DUH!! Using iTunes to do the sync caused the clean MacBOOK Pro list to be commingled with the dirty iphone contacts. amd now the whole mess is in the cloud. 
    I need to clear out the contaminated lists from all iplaces, and startover with Back-up on my macbook pro. BUT HOW???
    Help
    Karen

    I had exported an address book backup: abbu
    so since i wrote, i have found my way into the cloud: selected all entries - deleted them all from the cloud.
    This wiped out contacts on my iphone and i pad, and MBP, as well as on the cloud.  I then imported the abbu back into my now empty address book. 
    To repopulate the crowd, i selected all in my address book and created a single card vCard for export to my desktop.  I then dragged that vcard into my empty cloud.  Now my cloud has the same clean contacts as my MBP addressbook.  The cloud then pushed the clean contacts into my empty ipad and iphone contacts. 
    I had to go back to Address Book>preferences>Accounts and Add an I cloud account - but if you accidentally create a second i cloud account - all of a sudden your address book will duplicate itself.  I quickly reversed it by deleting one of the icloud accounts in my Address Book>preferences>Accounts. 
    I created a new entry on my MBP and it is now on all devices and in cloud
    I also created a new entry on my iPhone and it is now in the address book on my MBP.
    I feel empowered!!
    Have i missed anything??
