Syncing iPhone & iPad in cloud - isn't cloud just like an external drive ? All steps followed but nothing synced ?

No, iCloud is nothing like an external drive.
What exactly are you trying to sync? Is the data you are trying to sync visible at http://www.iCloud.com/

Ipad stolen. Trying to sync new Ipad to cloud and someone has used my account

Tring to sync replacement Ipad to Cloud but someone else has used my ICloud account. How do I find historic back ups (from 2 months ago)

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Apple states you can access up to the last 3 back ups, although you may find you can only use the last one.

Recent update download upset my entire itunes program. Can't use to sync iphone, ipad, etc nor run any other updates. Get runtime error message, etc...and contact app support team. Says itunes not installed correctly, pls reinstall. tried to no avail.

First try updating to iTunes 11.1.5.5, using an installer downloaded from the Apple website:

I purchased Keynote for my iMac, when I sync my iPad with iMac isn't Keynote suppose to be installed on my iPad?

I purchased Keynote for iMac, when I sync my iPad with iMac isn't Keynote suppose to be installed on my iPad too?

I think that only files are synced, and not applications.
On your iPad, go into app store and download keynote.
It is possible that you have to buy it again though, once for the desktop, once for ios devices.
please let me know if this helped. and if it's incorrect, so i can change it if so.
Thanks,
Finally iMac!

When syncing my ipod, how do I get it to look at external drives for music stored them? It just tells me it can't find something and gives me no option to tell it where it is located.

Hi SouthMountainSound,
It sounds like the tracks may be missing from your iTunes library. When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. If it cannot be located, this may cause the issue of not being copied to your iPod. For this issue, we will need to refer to the following article:
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:

After rebuild of iphoto- photos will not sync (iphone + ipad)

While syncing the iphone (5s), iphoto (v9.4.3) opened and a pop-up prompted me that I needed to rebuild my library. Clicked to do so, and after the rebuild finished, I went to sync in itunes and noticed my photo settings had changed. The "Selected albums, Events,..." is grayed out. I unselected "Sync Photos from iphoto" synced to erase what had been selected from the iphone. With "sync photos" unchecked it syncs normally. When checked (the only option: All photos,..) I get an error code "The iPhone "--" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (1140)." Tryed syncing my iPad (3 gen) with the same result.
I have both my iphoto and itunes libary on an external HD through my older iMac (running OSX 10.7.5). Have tried: rebooting everything/ running a Disk Utilities repair disk permissions/ an iphoto permissions repair/ deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder/ Opening the AlbumData.xml seeking out all "&" and changing them (via another thread)... all without any success. I am able to access pictures through other applications (imovie/ pages) and iphoto still recognizes and asked to import photos with iphone/ipad connected. I have an time machine back up, but haven't restored anything from that. Any ideas how to regain the option to select albums, events, etc... would be very appreciated.

Hello Jezky123,
It sounds like you are unable to sync photos now from from iPhoto through iTunes to an iOS device. You did some great troubleshooting already. Next I would try deleting the iPod photo cache and then try again:
iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
iPhoto or Aperture
If you're syncing from an iPhoto or Aperture library, use these steps to find the iPod Photo Cache folder in the default iPhoto Library or Aperture Library location:
From the Finder, choose Go > Home. If you moved your iPhoto Library or Aperture Library to a different location, go to that location instead.
Open the Pictures folder and locate the iPhoto Library file. (For Aperture, this is called Aperture Library.)
Control-click iPhoto Library or Aperture Library and choose Show Package Contents.
In the next window, drag the iPod Photo Cache folder to the Trash.
Important: Don't remove or modify any other file within the library package. Removing or modifying other files may cause data loss.
Close the Finder window.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Not able to sync iPhone, iPad, Macbook Pro

I have followed all the inforamtion that Apple has to do with syncing the ipad, iphone, Macbook Pro, but they don't seem to read each other by wi-fi. All of them work just fine on their own but not together. The ipad does sync somethings such as contacts, email etc. with my iphone but I cannot get them to share photos or videos I have taken.
I have iphone 4s using the current OS updated
I have iPad 2 using the current updated OS
I have a Macbook Pro 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 OS 10.9 Maverick all been updated
I have enabled photo stream on all. Any ideas what may be wrong?
Thanks- Todd

All devices are on wifi and it has been several days since I took the photos/videos I want to share. I have done everything the way Apple says but the photos/videos are not sharing. I'm guessing I overlooked something... Not sure what.

How to sync iPhone, iPad,ipod

I am trying to sync my ipad,iphone,ipod & imac with the same user account (apple id) but the ipad refuses to play, any suggestions please?

As 90MacUser22 explained:
"When you plug in your iPad (to your iMac), go through each tab slowly. Under apps, hit sync apps(check), and select what apps you want to sync. Do this for the rest of the tabs. If its not checked it won't sync. Then when your done hit sync. On your iPhone and iPod go into settings, store, and make sure automatic downloads are on. When you download an app, it will also download on the other device."

How to Sync iPhone/iPad with Time Capsule (wirelessly)

It is not possible to sync iOS devices directly to the Time Capsule.

Problem after importing iPhoto library - Syncing iPhone/iPad: wrong dates

Hi everyone,
I have a problem, which I cannot seem to find a solution to:
I have imported my iPhoto library into Aperture without any hassle. The problem now is:
When I sync my iPhone/iPad within iTunes, and I click "sync with Aperture"(instead of iPhoto) under "Photos", then "select only the projects of the last 3 months", I always wind up with ALL my Photos (20.000 +) that I have imported with Aperture. Not just the last 30+.
The individual photo's meta information in Aperture is however correct: i.e. a project containing pictures from 2006 still shows the pictures being from 2006. So they shouldn't show up under the photo sync within iTunes when I click "last 3 months", right?
What am I doing wrong? Does Aperture set the date to all the imported projects to the same current date they were imported on? Is there any way to correct this, or sync only the photos of the last 3 months?
Otherwise I will have to go back to iPhoto...
Thank you!

again the same problem, i emptied my trash and again resync after uncheck the photo sync option all the pics were gone, there wasnt any cache in pictures folder, i selected the photo to be sync arround 4573 and again its updating only 405 and i dont see any cache in pictures folder, i dont know may be in lion its saving cache somewhere else, im unable to find it and unable to do it right way. i searched in spotlight for ipod photo cache nothing showed up.

Syncing iPhone/iPad to multiple iTunes libraries

Hello,
I was wondering about about syncing my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 to two separate iTunes libraries. I have two accounts on my MacBook – one personal and one for work - and my iPhone/iPad are used for both. They are currently synced with my personal iTunes library, where I have all music and all apps. However, I would like to be able to set up another iTunes library on my work account with podcasts and routed calendar/contact information, and then be able to sync my iPhone/iPad to that library as well, so that that information is added to the data from my personal library.
In a nutshell, my iPhone/iPad have both personal and professional uses, and I would like to find a way to sync data from both of my iTunes libraries to these two devices. I searched around a bit and found instructions for tweaking the code in the iTunes files, but I wasn't entirely sure that that solution applied to my specific situation.
I'd be very grateful for any kind of help. Thanks very much!

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

Syncing iPhone & iPad with new laptop after old one crashed.

How to sync iPhone/iPad contacts TO Outlook?

I am confused by the cavalier way the term "sync" is bandied about in the MS Outlook/Apple iTunes context.
I want to make my Outlook contacts look just like my iPhone contacts. I.e., after a sync, I don't want any contact info in one device that's not in the other.
In the past, "sync" has meant to me "make them both the same." But the mechanism whereby that occurs is not obvious in the context of iTunes and MS Office. For instance, when iTunes is syncing, what happens if a contact's name is in both the PC and iPhone, but the email addresses are different? Am I offered the opportunity to make a choice? What happens if Outlook contains an entry that's not on the phone? Will it end up on the iPhone? What happens if a contact is in the phone, but not in Outlook - will it get created in Outlook?
I consider my phone the primary device for accumulating contact information. As a consequence, my Outlook contacts are woefully out of date vis-a-vis my iPhone's. But I am sore afraid to engage the iTunes syncing, lest it somehow decide that what I want to do is replace the contacts on my iPhone with those from Outlook. I've seen too many comments elsewhere about contacts being lost wholesale, or duplicated wholesale.
Is there any definitive source for further detailed information on this subject?
IOS 7.1.2
Windows 7
MS Office 2013

Here is the way about how to transfer contacts from iPhone to Outlook:
Step 1: Connect the iPhone to the computer using the supplied USB cable and launch the iTunes application. iTunes displays your iPhone on the left panel under "Devices".
Step 2: Click your iPhone on the iTunes panel and click the "Info" tab. Click "Sync contacts with" and select "Outlook."
Step 3: Select "All Contacts" if you want to sync all the contacts from your iPhone to Outlook. If you want to select specific contacts, click "Selected groups" and place a check on the contacts you want to sync to Outlook.
Step 4: Click "Apply" to sync your iPhone contacts to Outlook. Click the "Eject" button on the right panel and disconnect your phone from the computer. Close iTunes.
Step 5: Launch Outlook and click the "Contacts" tab. You should see the imported iPhone contacts.
