Syncing messages across devices.

I use skype in 3 different ways , Skype for Desktop, Skype for Windows (that tile style app) and skype beta on Outlook, none of the converstion get synced when I move to other one. If timezone is issue it should display somewhere around "yesterday" or even "week", but no luck.

HI,
Syncing when using an Apple ID (which the Touches and iPads can only do) needs you to create a Start Point.
If you are using Messages on your computer and were using the Apple ID on the iPad before it is best to turn everything Off so that when you turn things On again all devices contact the iMessages server.
There is an issue with iPhones in that they can send Messages from the iPhone Number and the Apple ID.
iMessages sent from the iPhone Number will not sync (At this Present time) to the Apple ID.
In Messages beta I actually removed all my Messages on my iPhone to create the Start Point.

Domain joined Windows 8.1 using OneDrive to sync passwords across devices

Background : Domain joined Windows 8.1 devices using OneDrive to sync settings across devices, including "Passwords" under Other Settings. Domain user accounts are NOT local administrators.
Issue : When one drive goes to sync Wireless network security settings (passphrases etc...), a User Account Control (UAC) dialogue pops up from "Program Name : Networks" to enter administrator credentials. Domain users do not have administrator access
to local computers by strict policy.
The only way identified so far to stop the dialogue pop-up is to disable the password sync by group policy. However, that turns off ALL password syncing, including passwords desired to be sync'd, that do not encounter this issue.
Can the UAC be suppressed? Is there a way to NOT sync the wireless password settings?
Welcome any thoughts, direction, assistance, etc... :) Thanks much and have a good day!

Hi,
I searched around but haven't find one way to achieve this, thus I'm afraid that we're unable to prevent the specific network password setting. the syncing settings for all passwords are combined together.
To suppress UAC, we can turn off the UAC under control panel\User Account or via GP Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options ,but we don't recommend this.

Syncing email across devices

The directions given for syncing email across devices is not working for me. I followed them precisely. HELP!!! This is very frustrating.

We need better information. What devices are you using? Are you setting the account up using IMAP?

Syncing Jabber across devices

All,
We are running 9.1 CUCM and IMP and I am looking to hopefully sync Jabber IM's across devices (Windows, iPhone, iPad). This does appear to be working and I cannot find any documentation about if this a supported feature or not. Any help is greatly appreciated.

We do not provide such feature. If anything, you'll only get the 1st message someone sends you, as it will "broadcast" it to all the devices in order to determine on which one you're active as you reply, and then it will direct all IM messages to that particular device.

Syncing ical across devices

Hi, I've recently started using the calendar application on iPad and iPhone, but noticed it hasn't automatically synced to my MacBook Pro. I looked at MobileMe but saw there was a charge for this service. Is there another way I can sync iCal across all my devices, please?
Thanks a bunch.

Hi,
Check your calendar where you are adding the event belongs to the MobileMe Calendar, otherwise will not synchronize.
Best Regards

Syncing metadata across devices using the Cloud

I decided to authorize my work computer for iTunes Match. My main library is on my home computer. Once I saw all my music in the cloud on my work computer, I decided to do a little tweaking of the metadata. I didn't download the songs first, just changed the metadata. When I updated Match, the metadata went back to the way it was before. Do I need to download the songs to the local machine first before metadata changes will stick and sync to other devices? Or can I only make metadata changes on the home library?

Metadata changes (which can only be made from iTunes) are reflected immedietely on other Match-enabled iTunes libraries, but cause duplicates to be created on iOS devices.
For example, I changed the genre of song after it had been matched. It now appears under the old genre and the new one. I deleted the song from iTunes and iCloud, which removed it from my iPhone. However, when I added the song back in to iTunes and uploaded it to iCloud the duplicates appeared on my iPhone once again.
It's as if iCloud keeps a copy of every version of every song we match/upload just like Photo Stream. I just wish there was a Reset iTunes Match button.
Apple really needs to fix these bugs if they're going to take money from people and not extend ther subscription.

Need helping syncing contacts across devices?

Can not sync contacts across all my devices

I'm having a conversation with myself here but I've worked out how to do it.
I deleted all the contacts from iCloud and then turned iCloud sync back on on my phone.
All sorted.

Deleting multiple chat Messages across devices

First in Moutain Lion, is there a way to select all conversation and close or delete, rather then selecting each conversation and closing them individually? Second, why aren't the conversations linked across all the devices deleted when you delete it on one device. It would seem that if you can chat across the platforms, that when you close the conversation on you iphone, then the conversation would close globally on your mac and ipad. Answers?

HI,
It seems that the thinking around the "Syncing" could fall in to two schools:-
1) The User can then use the Mac Version to Store Conversations rather then just keeping them on the iPhone or iPad.
2) The "Syncing" is more on the lines of "Display on all Devices" rather than an ability to change or react on one device and have it show on all.
I tend to Save my chats so I have not played with the options in the File Menu of Messages on the Mac.

Syncing contacts across devices

Hi
I'm having issues with trying to get one set of contacts to display across all my devices.
Whereabouts do I create my master set of contacts and how do I then get that to be the same on my iPhone/laptop/iCloud/iPad?
Currently after much frustration, I have my Address book on my laptop exactly how I want it and also my iPhone but my iCloud contacts are still the old set.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers
Dan
p.s. I should add that I am now running IOS6, which hasn't made any difference

How do I stop syncing automatically across devices?

It seems Apple has decided I want to share everything on my iPhone with every other iDevice on my account. Safari bookmarks, texts, phone calls, contacts, play lists, etc. automatically. I don't! I've rooted through setting to the seventeen different places I need to turn off sharing to stop this yet it still happens. Last week, my wife ended up with my playlists on her Mini. She deleted them and this is where it gets frustrating.
It deleted all the playlists from her Mini, my iPhone, my Mini and iTunes. I had to restore them from a back up. Then I saw my Safari bookmarks on her phone and figured she doesn't want those so I deleted them. It deleted them from all devices. How do I stop this? Do I need to get my wife a separate account? We share an account including the music, apps and movies we buy but we don't want to share everything! I want my own contacts, booksmarks and playlists and she want's her's. What is this sharing madness and how do I stop it?

Why has iCloud stopped syncing documents across devices?

Just recently, my iPhone has stopped syncing documents with my iPad. They are both on wifi yet they still wont sync with each other. I have gone through all the settings on both devices, and I can't seem to find anything wrong. I have even tried syncing both of them with itunes, but yet the documents still wont appear on both devices. Any recommendations besides restoring both of them?

Had the same problem. iCloud failed on my iPhone and on my iPad2.
Turned out, in my case, to be a corrupt contacts-database. I have 176 contacts on the iCloud-website, but only 50 of them turned up on my iPhone, In addition to all of the problems mentioned in this thread.
This is how I solved it:
- Synced iCloud contacts with my Outlook 2010 (PC): http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html
- Copied the new Outlook iCloud contacts-folder to an empty or new Outlook contacts-folder.
- Deleted all contacts on my iCloud web-site.
- Waited for Outlook iCloud-folder to sync to empty state.
- Copied contacts (from the second step) back to the Outlook iCloud-folder.
- Waited for sync to copy contacts to the iCloud web-site.
- Did a factory reset on my iPhone to be able to reinsert my iCloud-account. Everything works fine!
Easier on my iPad: just removed/added the iCloud-account to get it to work again

Syncing Apps across devices

Hello everyone,
My question is - how can I share the Apps I have downloaded across all devices? I have a couple of devices, but they each have their own set of Apps. I'd like to put some Apps from Device 1 to Device 2 and some from Device 2 to Device 1 etc but I am not sure how to do it.
Does anyone out there have an easy fix to help me out? Thanks in advance.
Lynn

Hi LynnCheah,
If your devices are using the the same Apple ID the easiest thing is to enable automatic downloads.

For existing purchases you can download the past purchases you want.

Syncing bookmarks across devices

Hi,
I would like to "clean up" my Safari bookmarks collection, but I am not sure which version would be treated as "authentic" by iCloud.
I'd like to do the clean-up on the iMac (this then would be the "authentic" version). But how to avoid that the messy versions, which are still on the other devices (iPhone and iPad and my wife's MacBook), will be "merged" with the authentic version, rather than just plainly deleted and overwritten with the authentic version?
Thanks in advance for ideas/suggestions/solutions!
Cheers
Veit
P.S. Why are these bookmarks NOT visible if I log into the iCloud from the web? I thought this was the whole idea about the iCloud, that you'd have all your data, like contacts, calendars and bookmarks available, even if you logged in from another computer!?!

If you are already syncing Safari with iCloud, then you should have the same set of bookmarks on all devices. Any changes that you make on one of them will be propagated to the others, replacing whatever is already there. You can't see your bookmarks on the iCloud website because that feature has not been implemented by Apple.

Is there a way to automatically sync documents across devices in iCloud?

I thought that iCloud would automatically find my Pages documents and sync them to my iPad and iPhone. But I find that I must first download the doc from the cloud, edit it and then replace it to the cloud every time. Surely there is another way to do this. Otherwise I might as well email it to myself.
Does anyone know of a better way? Am I missing something?

Oops, I forgot to update my profile. I am using Mountain Lion. I think I've figured this out now. Apparently I must open my documents that are in the cloud FROM the Pages application, not from iCloud. Thanks for replying.
