Syncing messages between iPhone 6 and Macbook Pro

I don't seem to be able to sync messages between my iPhone 6 and my Macbook Pro (using 10.10.1). Trying to follow the online discussion, but left scratching my head. Help, help.

Hi Hawgjohn,
The new continuity features with iOS 8 are awesome, but they do take some setup to work properly. Luckily Apple has a big guide on how to set up all of the continuity features (including text messaging from your Mac) here: Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support.
Browse through that article and find the section that is relevant to your issue and follow the instructions

What setting will make sync make my iPhone and MacBook Pro contact cards alike?

What setting will make sync make my iPhone and MacBook Pro contact cards alike? I've been having to key in changes to both devices because sync doesn't sync.

If you really are running Mac OS X 10.7.5 and iOS 6.1.3, you should be able to sync through iTunes, but in current releases you need to use a central contact service like iCloud.
Did you have it working and then not working, or have you never had it working?
Are you trying to use iTunes, iCloud, or something else?

Notes sync is turned on right?

How do you sync calendars between iPad and MacBook Pro running Maverick

I had no problem syncing my iPad with my MacBook Pro before upgrading to Maverick. Now I just keep going round in circles. It's such a basic requirement to be able to sync calendars, but just so problematic.

Use iCloud.

ICloud Sync issues between iPhone and MacBook

I have a peculiar problem. I have iCloud turned on for Contacts, Calendar and Notes between my iPhone 6P and my MacBookPro running OS X 10.10.2. If I make a change or add an entry on the MBP, it does not show up on the iPhone until I make a change to something on the iPhone, then the iPhone changes go to the MBP, and the MBP changes then, and only then, appear on the iPhone.
I have the same iCloud account on both devices. Very confused. (I have not done anything regarding Family Sharing, and I do have the iCloud drive turned on.)
Any clues?

Issues with iCloud - syncing Notes between iPhone and Macbook

Why won't my Notes sync between my Macbook Pro (Mountain Lion) and my iPhone 5? The iPhone and the Macbook Pro are both linked to the same account, iCloud is turned on on both, and I've tried signing in and out of iCloud.com, but it doesn't seem to work.

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.

WiFi connectivity between iPhone and MacBook Pro

Hello.
I was wondering if someone can lend a hand, here. I looked at some of the other posts on a similar problem, but figured I'd just confuse the issue. Here's my problem.
I'm using a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro with 8GB and 1067 MHz DDR3. Running 10.8.2 I'm using a recording suite known as Digital Performer 7.24. I have an iPhone 4 with an app called DP Control, that talks to the recording software on the MacBook -or it's supposed to. The app basically has some of the keys on the MacBook software side of things like rewind, fast forward, record, pause etc. It allows you to step away from the laptop, and enable the laptop software. For example: If you're sitting at a drumset for instance, you can enable recording by hitting keystrokes on the iphone app, rather than hitting record on your laptop, and running back to the drumset -you get it. Anway, the laptop and the iphone don't talk to each other. I'm thinking this has something to do with my MacBook and not the app. I have an iMac that can see the app no problem. It's with the MacBook that i have the issues with. I contacted the software developer, but they couldn't help me. I even contacted the developer of the app itself, and to no avail. I figure this is something on the Mac side of things that hopefully someone here can help me with.
The app connects to the computer via wifi and NOT Bluetooth. So bluetooth has been disabled. I have also deactivated the firewall per the app's instructions, and to no avail. I'm guessing it has to do something with security settings somewhere, or some sort of deep-rooted permission thing. I don't know.
The only thing I can think of is that at one point, i did delete a user and had to start over with the whole admin privileges thing. I don't know if this would be significant or not.
Thanks for reading!

Well, it seems like I fixed it by enabling port forwarding in advanced, enabling zero config in device directory, and then restarting both devices. Not sure exactly what it did, but now I can wifi sync. So I'm pretty happy!

How to Sync contacts between iPhone and Mac pro using iCloud?

Like many other people i have set up both my iphone and my Macbook Pro 13' on the same icloud account and yet my contacts on my phone are not transfering over to my computer propperly? They usually dont go on at all or they go on but not fully. (ie: cell number missing, or email is missing.) This has frustrated me ever since icloud came out, and i have ended up emailing every single one of my contacts from my phone to myself so that i can get them on my computer. If anybody has had this problem or has any suggestions i would be happy to hear.

Depends how you sync. If using iCloud, set it in the iCloud settings on the phone. If syncing with iTunes, set in on the Info page of your divice in iTunes

How do I sync Notes between iPhone and Macbook, preferably using a cable?

I was running Lion before I upgraded to Mavericks. I would sync notes via iTunes using a cable.
My understanding is that you have to use WiFi and iCloud with Mavericks, which if true is a really dumb limitation and a problematic one. I do not have WiFi at home and often not when traveling. But I do have a cable and my Macbook.
Is there no way to sync Notes with a cable?

At a standstill on a solution so I retried other suggestions I have found on various threads. I have done this specific process multiple times but luckily this time it worked. What helped was - on MBP went to Settings > iCloud then unchecked Notes. Said ok to delete Notes from MBP (my most recent version is on my iPhone). Waited about 5 min then went back to Settings > iCloud checked Notes, said ok to merge and now my Notes on iPhone and MBP are the same. Will have to see what happens. I had my phone connected to MBP vis USB and used wireless during process. Hope this helps with your problem also.

Bluetooth connection between iPhone and MacBook Pro

Is it possible to browse files on my iPhone from my MacBook Pro (MacBookPro3,1 Serial Number W873325SX94, OS X 10.9 (13A603)) via Bluetooth?

An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458

Syncing Contacts between iPhone and Macbook

I recently added contacts on both my iPhone and on my Macbook. However, the new contacts placed on the iPhone won't sync to the address book contacts and the contacts on my Macbook won't sync to my iPhone. How can I go about resolving this problem?

Assuming you have sync contacts with the Address Book selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, try resetting the sync history on your Mac. This is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application if your Mac is not running Lion.

Problem syncing ical on iphone and macbook pro

Hi,
After downloading ios8 I have noticed that I have problems syncing my calendars to and from my phone and computer. I have tried a variety of solutions:
1) I have turned "on" the sync button on the phone under settings -> mail, contacts, calendars -> icloud -> calender "on"
2) I have checked the box under system preferences in the macbook under iCloud -> calender "on"
3) I have tried deleting both from the computer and the phone and then reloading them.
I'm out of ideas. I deleted a lot of things to make room for ios8 on my phone, so I am wondering if I disabled something or prevented syncing then, because it has been happening for about ~2 weeks since I downloaded the new software. Any ideas?

First make sure the events are being added to your iCloud calendar and not a non-iCloud calendar such as On My Mac, On My iPhone, Gmail, Yahoo, an exchange account, etc.
If you are and they still aren't syncing, the first step is to determine if the issue is with your phone or your Mac. Add a new calendar event on each one, then check your calendar on iCloud.com to see which one doesn't appear there.
If the event from your phone doesn't appear on iCloud.com, try force-closing the calendar app and resetting your phone. To do this, double-tap the home button, locate Calendar, swipe up on it to close it, then tap the home button again. Then reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release. After it restarts, test your calendar again. If it still isn't syncing, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out, choose Delete from My iPhone and provide your password when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud. Then sign back in (your data will download back to your phone) and test your calendar again.
If the even from your Mac doesn't appear on iCloud.com, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), restart your Mac, then go back and sign back in (your data will download back to your Mac). Then test your calendar again.

Sync ipad 2, iphone and macbook pro after downloading Lion

I downloaded Lion and I was hoping that my Ipad 2 and Iphone 4 would sync with my Ical and photo's but it is not doing that. Is there a setting I need to adjust?

Have you also enabled calendar syncing and photo stream from settings > iCloud on the iOS devices and system preferences > iCloud on your Mac. Have you also downloaded and installed the iPhoto update for photo stream.
Is it only calendar syncing and photostream that doesn't work.

Syncing audiobook between iPhone and MacBook

Hello,
is it somehow possible to sync the current position of an audiobook between MacBook and iPhone?
E.g. if I listen to an audiobook on my MacBook and want to continue on my iPhone I need a way to sync the current time.
Does anyone know, if there's a way?

Assuming you have sync contacts with the Address Book selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, try resetting the sync history on your Mac. This is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application if your Mac is not running Lion.
