Syncing iphone and iMac?

I am having trouble syncing my devices through icloud.  When i make changes to my calendar or contacts on my iphone it will not appear on my imac, even when i directly hook up my phone through itunes.  Any suggestions?  Could it be that i only have version 10.5.8 on my imac, and need to have a newer version to be able to acess this feature?

Lion (OS 10.7) is required.

  • Notes not syncing between iPhone and iMac

    Syncing notes from my iphone to imac no longer works. I have all the right things checked in info (in itunes) and in my mail. I have talked to the experts at Apple support, and taken the iphone and imac into the apple store.  After trying lost of stuff (iSync, other settings, etc, new admin a account), it worked. Once. It worked at the store, but no longer works at home. I can get the notes to sync if I sign out of my admin account and sign back in, but I don't like doing that every time. I don't know why it worked just fine for awhile and then quit. Maybe after the last update.  Is it something to do with my POP account - comcast?  Does anyone have the same problem? An answer?

    I have a MacBook (OS X 10.9.3) an iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.1) and an IMAP account (mail and notes boxes are checked on MacBook). On my iPhone the default account for Notes is set on IMAP. I am syncing via iTunes 11.2.1. It works for Calendar and Contacts but it does not sync Notes. I guess a made an error somewhere.
    Could someone  hep me? Thank you by advance.

  • Would Like for two Iphones and Imac to sync calendars and contacts on Icloud

    I would like for my wifes Iphone calendar, contacts etc. to sync with my Iphone and Imac just like it did with Mobile me. Both iphones use the same Apple ID Will this work?

    The data should automatically upload from your phone when you turn syncing to On in Settings>iCloud.  You may get a prompt when you do this asking if you want to merge the data on your phone with the iCloud account (if you get this prompt choose to merge).  Also, after the data is uploaded, when you turn any synced setting to Off it should ask you if you want to keep the data on the iPhone or remove it.  Furthermore, if you just delete the account from your phone without turning off data syncing first, any data you are syncing with iCloud would also be deleted from the phone.
    Since you didn't get either of these prompts when you turned syncing on or off, and your data was deleted when you deleted the account before setting it up again, this all indicates that the data was never uploaded to iCloud in the first place.  Maybe it's just slow right now and it needs longer to upload your data to the account.  Maybe there's a problem with the server right now.  Suggest you turn off your data syncing in Settings>iCloud, then wait an hour or two and turn it back on and see if it uploads then.  (If you get a prompt when you turn it back on, choose merge.)

  • Have synced iPhone to iMac but cannot see any Contacts on  iMac

    Am new to iMac. Have managed to sync iPhone to iMac. But when I then open iMac Contacts, cannot see any.

    Thanks, but I don't and won't use the Cloud. When I bought the iMac I thought I could use it with the iPhone 4S. Now I find that I am expected to hand over a lot of confidential information to the Cloud, if I just want to copy my iPhone Contacts to my iMac Contacts.
    Why does Apple want to put such a condition on what is a normal basic principle, of having a copy of my Contacts file ?

  • IPhone and IMac Will Not Connect Over Bluetooth

    I've had an Iphone for a while and recently purchased an Imac. I've been trying to get my Iphone and Imac to synch through Isync over the bluetooth connection to sync the contacts on my I phone with the Imac. The Imac discovers and recognizes the Iphone, I enter the passkey to pair the 2 and then I get this message: "There were no configurable services found on your device."
    If anyone has any suggestions on how to get past this I would appreciate it.

    Firstly, you can't sync an iPhone over Bluetooth - that's why it won't work. Only via USB cable.
    Secondly, you use iTunes for syncing iPhones, not iSync.
    Bluetooth in the iPhone is for Bluetooth headsets, nothing else.

  • Syncing IPhone and Macbook Mail To Do List

    Does anyone have a way to sync IPhone and Mail To Do List?

    unless you delete your to dos then once checked they will still appear in the to do list alongside the incomplete ones.
    one work around is to create smart mailboxes, one for your completed to dos, and one for your the others. to create a smart mailbox, go to mailbox>create smart mailbox, then for the rule, select to dos and then select to dos are complete, to dos are incomplete. once these smart mailboxes are created you can then view your to dos with less cluter.
    hope this helps

    syncing iphone and now phone is stuck and wont power off or do anything

    Reboot the phone:  hold down the power button and the home button at the same time until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "slide to shut down".  When the screen has been completely black for a few minutes, press the power button again.

  • Syncing iphone and can't seem to transfer audiobooks that i have put in a playlist.  Sync menu doesn't show all playlists.  Help

    syncing iphone and can't seem to transfer audiobooks that i have put in a playlist.  Sync menu doesn't show all playlists.  Help

    I have the same problem with podcast playlists.  When I go to the music window in my iPhone devices section, the playlists I have created on my macbook pro in iTunes do not appear as an option to sync with the iPhone.  I know some web radios streams, like the BBC, won't transfer because of compatibility issues, but the playlists of podcasts that I have created consist entirely of podcasts downloaded from the podcasts section on the iTunes Music Store.  They used to show up and sync properly before I upgraded to OS 5.1.1, but now they don't.
    Does anyone have a fix and am I right in surmising that the cause is a glitch in OS 5.1.1?

  • HT1296 How do you sync iphone and PC when you have two different iphones/users?

    How do you sync iphone and PC when you have two different iphones/users in house? I just tried to sync my iphone and cancelled sync becauase I saw it was updating my phone with my husband's apps! How do I make it so that sync can distinguish between my and my husband's phone?

    I sync two iPhones and an iPad with one iTunes library on the same computer and each device has different content. Each device has its own sync preferences with iTunes. You can transfer the same music and apps to each device or different music and apps.
    Are you sharing the same Apple ID or iTunes account?

  • Bluetooth connection of iPhone and iMac

    I can't connect iphone and imac via bluetooth! How does this work?

    Bluetooth between Mac and iPhone is only for Internet Sharing (which is network dependent, but generally requires you to pay for a tethering package). 
    Unlike most mobile phones you can't use Bluetooth File Exchange to view the iPhone on a Mac. :-/
