Syncing issues with ipad2 and iphone4

Hi, I own both an iPad 2 and an iPhone 4. I want to keep my apps on my iPad solely for my iPad and my apps on my iPhone just for my iPhone. Is there a way to sync both devices to my computer without each device having the same content as each other.

Thanks for your reply. Problem solved :-). I had to tick the box that said 'automatically sync new apps' and hey presto. Thanks again for your reply. According to the guy in the Apple store on Regent St in London I would have had to create a new account and use an account for each device. Didn't think that was the answer but I thought they knew best. Obviously not.......

Syncing MacBook iCal with iPad2 and iPhone4

Without Mobile Me, and while awaiting the iCloud, can iCal entries be synced with iPad2 and iPhone4 and vice versa?

Severe audio sync issues with DVR and RAI(Italian) channel.

Having severe audio sync issues with the Motorola QIP6416-2 while
watching RAI(Italian) channel. The audio is about 2 seconds behind
the video. This is the only channel it seems to happen with.
I just switched from Cablevision about a week ago and never had a
sync issue with their DVR with the same RAI channel or any channel.
I've tried changing hdmi cables with no success and I also went to
component video cables but the problem remains. Resetting the
box helps but within 15 minutes the sync issues return. Also,
a channel change and back helps briefly,
The only new piece of equipment in the mix is the Motorola DVR,
nothing else has changed. The DVR is connected directly to my
tv.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Mike

Being a foreign channel, there may be something screwy with the framerate (PAL conversion?). I don't personally subscribe to any foreign languages channels and I doubt too many on this forum do either, so you may have trouble finding someone to replicate the problem on their end here.

Major CalDav and Syncing Issues with Ical and Address Book

As a CEO and business owner - I loved the move over to Mac after the intel chip as installed. Yet, the issue of working on a Mac for business comes down to the operating system. Up to Snow Leopard I was very pleased.... since Lion it has gone downhill.   I upgraded to Mountain Lion and many of the issues with speed and problems with mail were addressed. Yet, it appears Apple has made a bad decision with regard to synciing to other programs.
I was told it has cut out syncing capablities for Address book and Ical (I assume other programs). This has caused great issues for The Omni Group, File Maker and Market Cirlce (creators of Daylite) and a lot of angst for me as a business owner!
To top this off - it appears CalDav is not bi-directional and has issues. In other words, it does not work as it should.
I am not sure what Apple was thining when it stopped allowing internal sync between programs. Yet, CalDav and CardDav are not always the answers!
I hope the CalDav issues are being cleaned up and if anyone from Apple wishes to comment on this I would appreciate it. I have tried to talk to support but the powers to be are the ones calling the shots on software design. Support can't fix what is broken the program.
Again, I hope Apple revisits syncing. Maybe the concern is security but it is MY DATA not yours. I just want the programs to work so I can make sales and support my customers efficiently.   You have made it hard to do this with changes.

As an IT consultant, i'm in agreement with Mr Utts.    The promise of "it just works" died with Steve Jobs.   Mac OS has been in freefall since 10.5 .    I need a fully functional OS, not an iPad on my desk. ( this means YOU Forstall !! )
Why break Samba ( a standard ), why break WebDAV ( a standard ), why break CalDAV ( a standard )??    Apple has done ALL of these things and they seem to be doing it on purpose.
The Apple "ecosystem" is just fine, but removing functionality as fast as you can, and removing interoperablity as fast as you can... if Apple products ONLY work within the ecosystem... people can and will leave Apple.    You've already run off the business users by refusing to make a real Server or real Server software.   You ran off the video user with Final Cut Pro X.   Dumbing down (and breaking) the OS is running off the IT User.
Mac OS used to easily walk the line of "hard core enough for a Unix Guru, easy enough for your Mom". Now they just want the Moms.
And i disagree, we are ALL "qualified to say what Apple might do about this...", they will do nothing.   They don't beleive they have made a mistake. They beleive WE are the problem by stubbornly insisting that things that used to work should continue to work.

Syncing Issues with iCloud and iPhone

My iPhone 4 had to be replaced. Yesterday I spent 2 hours on the phone with Apple Care while they tried to resolve the issue of why my new phone wasn't syncing with my Address Book and Calendars. The cloud FINALLY gave up the data. Now I find that not all of my ringtones have synced. Does anyone know how to resolve this particular syncing issue? The ringtones are in my iTunes library under "ringtones," they were on my other iPhone 4 and worked just fine, and I've checked the boxes in front of each one on the "Sync Ringtones" window when my new iPhone 4 is plugged in. Four out of ten have synced. The rest refuse to make the trip. Any clue as to what to do? At this point, I'm ready for the iCloud to disappear and give the old system back.

First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

ICal syncing issues with iPad2

This just started yesterday but I'm getting the following error when trying to sync my iPad2 with my Mac (OS X -10.7.5) via USB and iTunes: "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPad because the sync server failed to sync the iPad."
Can anyone offer any help?

From what your write, it is a little hard to tell, what exactly your problem is, though you may want to try the following, which helped me at time:
step one:
export all of your calendars one by one, including the one with entries giving you problems
step two:
erase all of your calendars and create a dummy character, check if syncing works with that one.
reimport the previously exported calendars one by one, redoing the syncing routines.
In the instances I had problems, I found that exporting and reimporting a calendar file usually did away with the problem
Also, at least on my machines, turning on the birthday link to address book, created some problems, so you might want to try without that feature too.
If you got everything working on one machine, another strategy can be to reinitiate syncing from that one, i.e. erase and reinstall the syncing process on the others. Just make sure you have an up to date back up of your entries.

PC Sync issues with Outlook and Iphone

Can anyone point me to a discussion group which can address the sync issues I am having with my iphone since upgrading itunes and iphone last night on my windows PC.
Most discssions threads are mac orientated and as a result I rarely get a response to my issues!
I am not able to carry out any syncs on my iphone as it crashes outlook.
I appreciate any advice to where top look for an answer to this.

I found a workaround and I hope this helps someone, I had a client with this issue today. Her iPhone synced up great with the outlook calendar but not with the contacts and that was what was important to her. Here is my words of advice.......
1. Please don't bash apple on this issue, I have seen many posts that do this on this topic.
Apple seems to be releaseing full exchange support in June.
2. Here is what I think is going on.
Take a look at WHAT type of set up you have on your outlook (imap, Exchange, or POP)
If you use your outlook with imap or exchange, outlook will not create a .pst file, you will have a .ost file which seems like itunes sync cant read and you get an error. With a pop account you get a .pst file.
Here is what I did.
I made a personal folder and copied all of her contacts to it and changed the DEFAULT mail folder to point to the newly created personal folder. (personal folders make a .pst file)
then I went into iTunes and started a sync and all the contacts got synced up with her phone. ( she was very very happy )
Hopefully in June the iPhone will have full exchange support.
Hope this helps and please correct me if i'm wrong.
Thanks

Hi,
Do you mean other machines that configured with the same email account don't have the issue?
Have you ever tried to manually download the Offline Address Book? On the ribbon, go to SEND/RECEIVE tab>Send/Receive Groups>Download Address Book...
If issue persists, please first check that the Background Intelligence Transfer Service (BITS) service is running:
Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools, and then click "Services".
In the list of services, click "Background Intelligence Transfer Service", and then make sure that the status of this service is set to "Started".
Outlook uses BITS to connect to the URL that's provided by the Autodiscover service. (Outlook use Autodiscover service to automatically configure themselves for access to Exchange server.)
Hope this helps.

Ethan Hua

IPhone - Sync issue with Calendar and Outlook 2003

I have been syncing with no problem up to yesterday - now I can't sync my Calendar with my PC. It doesn't make any difference whether I make an entry in iPhone or Outlook. I have reset sync history in iTunes - no change.
The only thing that I can think of that I did out of the ordinary was to copy and paste my contacts into another contacts group in Outlook.
It would appear to be a problem with Outlook as the iPhone syncs with iCal and Address book on my G4 laptop.
Appreciate your help.
Alani

Outlook is definately a problem. Ive been at it for a couple of days going through this thread and others. Still not syncing.
What Apple has to realize is that windows people have different microsoft offices, i use 2000 because the schedule is shared between everyone, this is an addon in newer copys of office.
When i make a call or recieve a call i would like to see an option to add the caller to the schedule .. When your on the phone with the caller you can just hit a button and it brings you right to the calendar and enters the caller in the schedule where ever you place them.
Anyway i will keep at the sync thing for a while and see what happens. Nothing so far. l8r

Syncing Issues with 9630 and Outlook

I recently got a new blackberry 9630 and am having trouble syncing email between my outlook and the device. In the email settings I have gone to the synchronization options and selected what was available (deleted items was the only available option). When I view emails via the device, it synchroizes with the outlook, but it will not work the other way. I have also set all the settings to allow the "mailbox to win" in the "options" under email reconciliation. Any idea how I can get this to work?

This is likely a function of Outlook and your email account and not the BB and the email account. It all depends on the email account being used and how Outlook is setup to access it.

Outlook 2007 Sync Issues with Calendar and Contacts

I have an original iPhone and since the last iTunes update I can no longer sync my Contacts and Calendar in Outlook 2007 with my iPhone. The separate calendars are no longer showing in iTunes as a sync option only the sync all is available. When I plug in my iPhone to sync it will set in the syncing status for one to two hours and has not finished syncing since this update. I have reinstalled Outlook 2007, I uninstalled and re-installed iTunes, I have reset the sync history and any other fixes I have been able to find on the discussion boards. Does anyone know of a resolution to this problem?

I'm having similar problems with both yahoo and google on both my and my wife's Pre 2s. Yahoo calendar sync seemed to be working fine a few weeks ago but now absolutely refuses to do anything on my wife's phone (won't even seem to delete the account properly) and only shows a few things on mine. I've tried with different accounts, removing them, deleting the permissions on the yahoo website, the aeroplane mode trick, and restarting the phone. But the same problem. Phone just says it's syncing for long periods of time but then shows nothing for it. I must have removed and added accounts about 30 times in the last 2 weeks.
Google not syncing back from phone to cloud at all.
This is pretty annoying - I had better functionality on my old treo 650!
Anyone have any answers?

Syncing issues with Logic and Akai MPC 1000

I followed the directions in the manual and even some advice on another forum related to MPC's, but I still keep having problems whether I sync as Logic being Master or Slave.
When I sync Logic as Master the Tracks are kept in time with each other but they are not syncing to the grid in Logic right. It's a little off even though I set a few blank bars at the beginning of the sequence I wanted to record, and set the the tempo in Logic to the exact same tempo on the MPC. When I go to copy and paste certain bars while arranging it's always off cause the tracks are not in time with the bars in the arrange window. I want the tracks to be in time with the grid so it is much easier to copy, paste and arrange.
When I try to sync Logic as Slave...I can't even get it to work at all. The transport location just seems to jog in place. The last digits in the transport just keeps repeating themselves but no others, and there is no movement of the play head. It's just stuck. I don't know why it's doing that. When I try to sync Logic as slave I make sure the MPC is NOT in slave mode whatsoever, and that Logic isn't sending (as far as I know) any Master info to the MPC, so I really don't understand why it locks up.
I'd really appreciate help in getting this sorted out as soon as possible.

Ok, so I checked the SMPTE offset. I switched it so it will start at 00:00:00:00 or what have you. Good news is that the play head is no longer stuck. The first time I tried this I got an error message saying "System Overload. The Audio Engine was not able to process all required data in time. (-10011)" after about 8-10 bars of recording.
Next time I tried this I did I stereo pass of one track and it worked perfect. It recorded the whole sequence and the sync was perfect. It was only that one time. Now I can't even get the empty initial bars to go through without getting that error.
What is happening with this? I should have a powerful enough computer. I have a 2.2 ghz Intel core 2 duo Macbook pro, 2 gigs of ram, os 10.4.11

Syncing issues with Ipod and Nike

Hi,
I have a new Ipod Nano 7th generation. I use the Nike + app when I run. After each run I sync my Ipod via Itunes to send the stats from my run to the Nike + website. That all works fine. The problem is that when I disconnect my Ipod (properly) after sending my Nike + data via ITunes, all the music is gone from my Ipod.
I then reconnect my Ipod and when ITunes opens, ITunes it shows that my music and playlists exist on the Ipod. But in fact it is not. So when I recopy the music to the Ipod it forces me to restore the Ipod and then I have to configure it from scratch.
This is very annoying and it happens every time I connect my Ipod and send my Nike + data. My desktop is running Windows 8 64 bit and ITunes 11 is the latest version.
I actually returned the Ipod to Walmart today and they gave me a new Ipod. It is doing the exact same thing.
Pleas help!
Thanks

Sync issues with iPhone 6 Plus and iTunes

I'm having issues with syncing my iPhone and iTunes.
I am running: Mavericks 10.9.3 | iTunes 11.4 | iOS 8.0.2
Every time I try to sync my iPhone 6 Plus with iTunes, the sync process gets stuck on step 5 of 5 (waiting for changes to be applied). The longest this has occurred for is 2hrs. After this time I have stopped the sync and ejected my iPhone.
I had another issue with my phone when playing music. When going to play music, I was given the error message saying that the song could not be found. I connected my iPhone to iTunes and went to the tab in summery page, 'on this iPhone'. I found the song and could see that next to the song was a small what looked like dotted grey circle. After Googling this, I found a video saying that if i was to remove all my music and then add it again, this should fix the problem with this song. I did this and this was when the issue occurred again.
I unticked the option to remove all music but the sync did not finish. So I cancelled the sync, ejected my iPhone and tried again. This time, the summery page of my iPhone said there was no music on my iPhone and the 'on this iPhone' tab, this all so said there was no music however, my music was still on my iPhone including the song that would not play. All played ok.
I have read lots in the Apple forums about lost of difference reason this may be happening. Things like bugs in iOS 8, app updates being transferred during the sync process, the latest iTunes version has bugs and even a dodgy USB cable could cause it. My iPod running iOS 5 syncs all ok but I get this problem as well on my iPad Air.
I all so had this issue with my old iPhone 4S. The problem occurred when running iOS 7 and 8 on the 4S. When I had it on the 4S, I did a restore of the 4S 4 times and thought I had found the issue down too a dodgy app. However, now that it has happened on my new iPhone and still not using that app, could this be an issue with my Mac/iTunes?
I am in contact with Apple Care, but this is such a long process.
So if anybody could please offer any advice on this or steps to try to maybe solve the issue, it would be really helpful. Or if anybody is experiencing the same problem, it would be good to know its not just my devices and Mac producing this sync problem.
I will update my post with any information provided by Apple Care as and when I get it.
Thanks for reading and thanks for your time.
Mark.

Hi,
Just wanted to updated my original post and give some more information on this issue that I'm having with my iOS devices running iOS 8.0.2 and iTunes 11.4.
Firstly I just want to updated my details about what version of Mavericks I'm running. I'm running 10.9.5 - I put the wrong version down in my original post.
So over the last week, I have had a few phone calls with Apple Care an am dealing with a senior technical advisor about this issue.
I have been given some instructions that I am currently working through to see if it solves the sync issue with iTunes and my iOS devices.
The Apple Care advisor has pointed out that a iTunes version issue with music that I have ripped to iTunes and the current iTunes version could be what is causing the problem. For example, every song that I have purchased from iTunes since having an account, I was told are all exactly the same the same when it comes down the to data/information about that track/album that iTunes stores with the music but when it comes to music that I have added to iTunes myself from a CD, this was added and encoded with the version of iTunes that was running at the time of adding the music. So going through all the music that I added to iTunes over the last 10 years, you can imaging that there was lots of mixed version of iTunes linked to lots of different music.
At the moment, I'm having to go through all my music and find any that I have added and create a new ACC version of that music and delete the old version. However, due to the amount of music that I have, this is going to take a long time. When I was on the phone to the Apple Care advisor, we did several albums as a test and they all synced over to my iPhone. This may just have been luck though at that time.
Now, I'm not saying that this will solve the problem that I have with the sync issue but I am going to try it and see how I get on. The only down side to this fix as far as I can see at the moment, is that when it's all done, I think I will have to fully restore all my iOS devices to get music on to them.
I will of course updated this topic when I have got through all my music and tried to sync my iOS devices.
Thank you all for your comments.
