Syncing issues between Macbook Air and Ipad

Hi. I have an iPad 3 and the new Macbook Air. I am using the latest versions on both my devices.  When i connect my ipad via the cable it connects and disconnects immediately, and this keeps on happening again and again and again. I have tried both the USB ports and have the same error. My iPhone chares and connects perfectly on my air on the same ports as do all other devices.
The iPad charges fine and also sycs via any other computer so for the life of me i cannot figure it out. Please help!
Thanks.
Andy

  • Sync workflow between MacBook Air and another Mac

    I'm curious how people with two Macs keep their MacBook Air and other Mac in sync with each other. For example, how do you keep Address Book, iCal, and the word processing documents in sync so that you don't end up with multiple versions across two computers or the wrong data.

    I don't know if the way I do it is the most efficient way, as I posted a similar question here once and didn't get replies. For regular files / documents, I put my MBA on the desk next to MBPro and enable "file sharing" on both computers, then with the Air I click on the shared computer name listed in the Finder, in my case lt lists Mac Book Pro and then all the files from the Pro ore shown on my Air and I can just drag and drop onto my Air desktop. Once I click out of the shared computer, I then drag that file to wherever I want it.
    As far as ICal and contacts, the way I have been doing it is to keep my IPod Touch and the MBPro syncd together with all the iTunes junk and also my calendars and contacts and then at the end of the day I sync those two and then plug the Touch into the Air and it also keeps it updated on calendars and contacts. I would like to learn an easier more direct way but I don't want to buy 3rd party software of mess with .Mac

  • Sync between Macbook Air and Ipad

    Good morning, I have a problem concerning a sync via Itunes between my Macbook and Ipad in terms of pictures in Iphoto. I discovered that after the succesful sync all the pictures that are vertical are shown at the end of the event. What I noticed, this is so because Iphoto has modified automatically the photo after copy from extern device (photo camera) and the pictures are sorted by date modified. My camera has an Auto-Rotate feature. However, the camera does not actually rotate any pixels in the file, but instead flags it with an instruction: "Display me this way". This is a tag in the Exif metadata.
    When I import a file with this tag iPhoto creates a modified version. It does this because most of the apps that integrate with it -  email clients, word processors etc - simply don't understand this Exif tag. How can I solve this problem?

    Simply on the iPhone in the iCloud preferences turn off the contacts sync. It will ask if u wanna delete or not the contacts on the iphone. You answer to leave the Contacts on iphone. After that proceed to delete all contacts from all u're other devices and the iCloud site. A way to do it fast is to deselect the contact sync on icloud options in every device and when asked tell to delete the contacts from device. When u're sure that all other devices contacts are clean turn again on the contacts sync on the iCloud preferences for each device and at last the iPhone. After few the iPhone contacts will be sync to other device so u'll have same Contacts on all device. In this way when u'll made a change on one of u're device all other will have same change.

  • I can't sync my all email message between macbook pro and iPad 4

    Hi,
    I can't sync my all email message between macbook pro and iPad 4. This sync only complete account setting but not email message.
    Can anybody help me to fix the problem?

    You can't "fix" this problem because you can't sync email messages from the Mac mail app, you can only sync your email account settings. Messages will not sync using iTunes.

  • I cannot sync notes between iPhone 4S and iPad 2. Both devices are running iOS 5.0.1.

    I am unable to sync notes between iPhone 4S and iPad 2. Both devices are running iOS 5.0.1. Any solution?

    So, my DNS is comming from my ISP.  It's the same list of IP addresses for all our other devices that are working: 2 PC's 2 Laptops, a PS3 and a WII, an iPhone 3gs running IOS 5.0 and an iPhone 4 running IOS 5.0.
    The ONLY two devices that are having issues are my iPhone 3gs running IOS 5.0.1 and my iPad 2 running IOS 5.0.1.
    Soooooo,  there is something incompatible with my ISP's DNS and IOS 5.0.1? 

  • Looking for a bluetooth headphone for my Macbook Air and Ipad Mini, I am not looking for a headphone that needs a transmitter to be connected to the source rather a headphone that can be connected directly via bluetooth to the source device

    I am desperately looking for a bluetooth headphone that would be compatible to my Macbook air and Ipad mini both. I am more of looking for a headphone that does not need a transmitter device to be connected to the source (in this case Macbook Air and Ipad Mini) and headphone acting as a receiver, rather need a headphone that would be connected directly via bluetooth to the source, it would be great if multiple apple devices be connected simultaneously. Please suggest some good headphones.

    Hey sorry for the late reply, I was busy to figure out alternatives as harman kardon was a difficult affair to find and acquire, but the good news is I managed to get hold of alternative.
    Sony I assume recently launched a Bluetooth headphone DR-BTN200 which is compatible to my MacBook Air , iPad mini and android phone galaxy s2 with ease, the sound quality is pretty good as compared to other brands of Bluetooth headphones I checked compatible or incompatible to apple devices alike, this is definitely what I was looking for, costed me 7990 INR, this is highly recommended for ppl who are confused, I carried my devices to the store and checked before I bought a pair and pretty much happy,
    The best part of this is its battery backup, I have used this hours for 3-5 days but this has not drain even then, but I do keep this charging once in 2-3 days just to keep this ready otherwise it does not even ask for it neither the quality of sound drops after 2-3 days of use.
    This is over the ear headphone which is very soft but it's get sweaty around the ear I guess that's bound to happen.
    Do get back to me for any other details, would be glad to share with all :)

  • Wifi dropping constantly on a MacBook Air and iPad 2 and iPad 3.  I am not computer savvy so any solution will have to be in 'normal' language, please.

    I keep looking for the solution to wifi dropping constantly, but just can't understand the answers, let alone follow the instructions.  Can anyone please explain in 'baby' language how to stop wifi constantly dropping on my MacBook Air and iPads 2 and 3.  I have had this problem for about three weeks and prior to that everything was fine.  I am using a D-Link Router on channel 11, with AOL as my provider.  Thank you so much.

    That is correct, so I have just been told!!  Our Router is a D-Link DSL-2640R which we access via typing 192.168.1.1 into our Internet Explorer Browser on a Windows PC computer.  All this has been working for years.  The Summary page for the Router shows Internet, DSL and Wireless are all connected and working fine.  We have changed the channel to 11 which has made things faster and is not in conflict with nearby systems, but wi-fi still drops on the Mac and iPads.  I have only had this problem for a matter of a few weeks.  Before that all worked perfectly fine. 
    By the way thank you very much for trying to help.

  • Apple AirPort WiFi connects to MacBook Air and iPad but not iPod Touch

    I got my iPod touch 4th Gen in December for xmas and the wifi has worked perfectly fine until about a week ago only on my ipod, it just says 'Unable to Connect' everytime I try and connect but works on my MacBook Air and iPad
    It's a WPA2 Personal security
    I've tried all the suggestions on the Apple Support page, including resetting the network settings

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • ICal - I want my iMac, MacBook Air, and iPad to all "talk" and share iCal entries.  How can I get this to happen?

    I am hesitant to run the Migration Assistant for this reason.  I just want to enter an appointment on my desktop iMac and for it to show up in iCal on both my MacBook Air and iPad as well.  Is this possible?
    Thanks,
    Jo Beth

    Once you configure iCloud preferences on your MBA it should automatically fetch your info from the cloud. Be sure that you set up your iCal account on the MBA.

    NAS storage, or networked together,  Airport Extreme
    with Airport Extreme, you can have an attached HD on the back that any MAC on the network can read / write to
    thats what I do, easy.
    attach a HD on the back of your Airport Extreme, put files, etc etc on it for any Mac or network to use / read / write to.
    Also I store movies on it that I can watch WIFI on my Macbook Air, or ipads
    what fun.

  • Is the macbook air and iPad supposed to sync last page read?

    is my macbook air and iPad2 supposed to sync last book page read?

    Do you mean in iBooks?
    If you're signed in to iCloud on both machines, that's what's supposed to happen. However, if the internet connection on the machine you used last was poor, the sync may not have completed
