Syncing iPhone and Mac and the room needed on iPhone

Evening Forum
is it me or when syncing my iPhone do i notice that the room needed to swap stuff over is used in a strange way?
for example [and its not exact i know so go with my sizes here], my 32GB iphone has say 30GB left after apps and other things, if i transfer 20GB of music and associated stuff, i have 10GB left. If now i sync a few weeks later with another 28GB of music, as my mac would tell me, despite my thinking that the iphone would know that off coems 20Gb and on goes 28GB, it cant handle that. its seems to need a certain amount of space actually on the i[hone outside of the music being taken off and the music being put on, to actually do the swap.
anyone else found this? whats the exact reason for it? whats it doing?
even if some of those tracks being swappped were the same, thus the tracks not needed to be taken off, surely the iphone should know this. It takes long enough to think about it?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Macs use a different version than a iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, so you have to buy this app in the Mac App Store. After installing it, you can sync them if the app has got a sync service or iCloud compatibility. Note that the app for Macs should have iCloud support too

I have an old iphone 3 with all of my music on it. The laptop that had them stored in itunes has long since died. Ive got a new iphone 5 and Mac and would like to put the music onto the new iphone.

I have an old iphone 3 that has all my music on it. The itunes library that had all the songs in it is on a laptop that died. Ive got a new iphone 5 and Mac and was wondering how i can transfer the music from the old phone to the new one??

You can transfer the purchases you made on your old iPhone 3 by plugging it in to iTunes and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from your IPhone to the iTunes on your computer. This will get music you purchased in iTunes, apps, etc. (e.g., movies).
But for the rest you would need to restore a backup of your newly deceased computer.

How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud

How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud?
I bought a new iPhone and i would like to copy my Safari's bookmarks from my iMac (OS X 10.10.3) to my new iPhone (iOS 8.3).
How to do this, without iCloud?

You might be able to use Google Calendar to do what you want. Set up a Google account on the web, set up the MacBook to access the Google account, including calendar, then set up the iPhone the same way. While I'm using MAvericks, I am also using Google to manage my calendar, since I don't particularly *like* iCloud... And I came from Android to iPhone, but I haven't like iCloud since it was called MobileMe.
Oh, and as for sync to iTunes, can't you just use a direct conenction to the computer (either WiFi or cable) to keep the music in control?

My icalendar is not syncing between my mac and iphone

My icalendar is not syncing between my mac and iphone. Everything for icalendar and icloud is turned on for all devices. PLEASE HELP

Settings>icloud. Assuming you have already set up the connection to icloud (ID, password), then turn on Calendars on that screen.
If they don't appear, then log into icloud.com using a computer's browser and look at the calendars page. If empty, then you are not syncing calendars from your device to icloud. If there, then be sure Calendars is turned on in Settings>iCloud or System Preferences>iCloud.

If my iphone, ipad, MAC and macbook pro are all linked, and then I upgrade only my phone to iOS 7.0, does that have an effect on my calendar, etc. It doesn't seem to be showing the same data it was before the update. Lost lot of info from calendar.

If my iphone, ipad, MAC and macbook pro are all linked, and then I upgrade only my ipone to IOS 7.0, does that have an effect on the linking to my other MAC products. It seems my calendar has lost a lot of information since the upgrade.

If you purchased Lion for your iMac, just log into the Mac App Store from your MacBook using the Apple ID under which you purchased Lion and go to the Purchases page. You will be able to download and install Lion there.
searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7
The only place you get get Lion is from the Mac App Store. If you found some other site, that was an illegal copy and almost certainly tied to someone else's Apple ID and hence unusable by you. If the link was just to the Mac App Store, see above.
As to the problem with synchronization to iCloud, that's not a 10.6 question, so I'd suggest you take up that specific issue in either the Lion or iCloud forums, providing full details, and someone there can probably help you sort things out.

Under iTunes / File / Devices ?
But I did not see my iPhone under this section...

Greetings fcit@!A,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to select none as your payment type. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information? - Apple Support

I have an iphone 4, when I upgraded to ios 7.1.1 the application 'superlive pro' is not functioning well it is stucked and some times the device needs to be restarted

if there is a compatability between the app and newer versions of the ios then likely the developer if he/she knows about it will release an update fixing the issue
but of cause the developer has to know about it so maybe you should inform the developer about the issue and wait for a fix

You need to start over with Music. On the iPhone Music screen uncheck sync music. Also, on the Summary screen uncheck "Manually manage music and videos", then sync and it should clear off your phone.
Next, choose the music you want to sync. If you want to fit more on check "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC". This will reduce quality slightly, but it won't be noticable unless you are using $300 headphones.

I recently turned off iCloud photo sharing and lost all the photos off my iPhone 4S. How can I get them back onto my phone?

IF you have successfully imported your pictures to your Mac http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 then it's safe to delete it from your phone.
If you want the pics back on your phone, just sync them back using itunes http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

Entries on my I phone 4 in Calender are not pushed to I cloud so does not sync with my Mac and I pad. Reverse (from Mac to I pad and i phone works fine who can help me??

Use Mac. I phone 4 and i Pad all latest software switched to i Cloud, works fine except entries in the Calender of the I Phone are not pushed to I Pad and Mac. reverse (from Mac to I phone and Ipad) it works ok. I pad entries in calender are pushed to Mac and IPhone Who can help me??

On the iPhone open the Calendar app and on the top left conner tap the Calendar button and confirme that the calendars on your iPhone are under iCloud.
If not that is the reason why they are not going.
If they are under iCloud try to toggle off and back on iCloud calendar options.

HT201301 Can vmware player be used to create windows pc and mac. Will I need any other software or hardware to do that?

Can vmware player be used to create windows pc and mac. Will I need any other software or hardware to do that?(Have Windows and Mac on same computer)

Since you posted this in the iPod Touch forum and didn't provide enough information to contradict that I am going to say the it can't be done. VMWare does work in iPods.

HI I will suggest you to use the Xperia Transfer feature to help transfer most of your data from your iphone to the Xperia Z3, that should also include your notes to be transfered.
Aside from that, the notes app for Xperia for some country will preload with scatch or Google Keep and some with both. Just take note of that.
Hope this helps to resolve your concern.
Regards.

My "Hanging with Friends" app keeps crashing whenever I try to open it. I have deleted and re-downloaded the app, restarted my iPhone, and even restored my iPhone all together, and nothing is working. How can I get this app to work again?

Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.
