Syncing with iphone3g ipad and now iphone4 got myself into a mess
Original 3g and ipad ok....
but when I got the iphone 4, It (or me) synced the same as the 3g.... and so I don't get it showing iphone 4 - is there ANY way, I can sync these three items differently please? At the moment whether I put in the 3g or the 4 it does the same for both.... I expect I missed something the first time I plugged it in, but that doesn't help now.
Any thoughts you can offer would be appreciated.
TIA
Carol
Disable automatic syncing when any iPod, iPhone, or iPad is connected first of all.
Each device can have its own sync preferences with iTunes - under the various tabs for the iTunes sync preferences with each device when connected. If you transferred the backup for your iPhone 3G to your iPhone 4, this included your sync preferences for your 3G.
With your iPhone 4 connected to iTunes, select it under Devices in the iTunes source list to bring up the various tabs for your iPhone 4 sync preferences with iTunes. Make the changes that you want followed by a sync.
The same applies to your 3G and your iPad when connected to iTunes.

how do i find which Apple ID is associated with music in my iTunes? When I sync with my iPad and iPhone it tells me I have music, apps etc from more than five IDs. I am asked for PW for a number of now extinct accounts.
Go to Settings/icloud. The Apple ID at the top of the screen is the only one you need to be concerned about. That one MUST be a working ID, and you must know the password for it, or you will be unable to use the phone if it ever crashes, you want to update it, or you want to sell it.

I have a sync account and used to keep sync with Firefox server. Now computer got re-installed(OS) and want to sync data from Firefox sync server. But I am unable to setup as i don't have sync key.
I would like to just sync with Firefox Sync Server with existing account. I can not find any way out for this. please reply me on
[email protected]hello, for the old sync system in firefox 28 and below you also had to sign up with a mail address and password originally - to connect firefox to the old account you would need to have all those three pieces (mail, password & recovery key) available to you unfortunately...

My wife has a new Ipad and Iphone with icloud. We also have a Imac that has not been upgraded yet that is somehow syncing with her ipad and screwing up the apps. Is there anyway to prevent this. Maybe it is thru mobilme?
I think iCloud isn't coming until this fall and not until iOS 5 is publicly available. Right now there is confusion because all this stuff is still in beta and things are under NDA and may still change.
I'd just set the 3GS up the same as currently. When iOS 5 is available in the fall (and I don't think Apple has specified beyond "fall"), before you update, there should be any number of guides to setting things up and how it will all work. http://macworld.com is a good place to look for such information. -
Hi I am having trouble with iMessage on the mac book pro, it doesnt sync with the ipad and iPhone, both the ipad and iPhone do but not on the mac book pro , has anyone any suggestions, thanks in advance
First, make sure that all your devices are using the same Apple ID in iMessages including your Mac. Second, your messages that you've already started on your devices will not show up on your Mac - only ones that you start from now on will show up. Third, if you're still not syncing accross all devices, make sure you read the directions on the first page of this thread. It should work after performing those steps. Good luck!

I have a Google calendar that is syncing with my iPad and on my MacBook Air. However, the calendar items are not showing up when I access iCloud via the Internet. Any suggestions?
On the iPad tap Settings > iCloud
Toggle Documents & Data off then back on then restart your iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
On the iMac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Documents & Data then reselect it then restart your iMac. -
A Friend gave me her VAIO laptop.How can I remove her ITUNES library and use my library. Want to sync my Ipad and Iphone to My library.
I believe when you plug her old iPhone in to your computer it will notify you that the phone is synced with another library and ask if you want to register it with your library. At least this is how iPods work. I'm not sure about iPhones. If you want to actually use the phone as your own you may need to go through AT&T.
If you're just looking to use the iPhone as an iPod (without the phone portion of it) you may run in to some problems. The iPhone really wants to be on a cell network all the time. I think you'd have to jailbreak it to get it to work properly as an iPod.
Let us know what happens when you plug the phone in to your computer. -
I have an iPad two running iOS 8.2, with pages 2.5.2
Late 2012 21.5 inch iMac running Yosemite, with Pages 5.5.2
Yesterday,following directions in iMac Magazine on my iPad I turned on iCloud for Pages.
My documents disappeared from my iPad. After finding out how to locate them in iCloud I am unable to open them to edit or even read them for that matter.
What am I doing wrong.
Can I get my documents back on my iPad?Thanks. That was indeed the problem. A few hints for others with this problem. You can only find out that you need to upgrade, and upgrade, by cabling your iPad to your computer. Then the next Tricky part is making sure you have your iPad purchases saved on your computer. Then you download the new OS upgrade and you will get a "start up" type of screen on your iPad with a few questions. Nowhere is there a very good explanation that you want to then go back to your computer and restore your iPad. I finally did that because there were no other obvious alternatives, though all the warnings made me very nervous. After the restore command, I synched my iPad and I seem to have everything back, and I can now access iCloud. maybe I missed some instructions somewhere, but I found this process much more obscure than the usual Apple directions. Thanks for your help!

Hello darkhawk,
Thank you for the recommendation. I somewhat understand what a MS DOS disk is, but I'm not sure how to go about creating one. I've seen where you can use a program, like Rufus, to create a usb one - but I'm leery about using 3rd-party programs (especially ones I'm not familiar with). I've come across a couple of 'how-to' tuts, but they didn't clarify what files (if any) I would need to include on the disk (for my particular situation). Right now I don't have any blank cds, nor any extra flash/thumb drives - wish I did, but hadn't needed these for years. There has only been one other time where I needed to re-install Windows, but that was over 15 years ago - I did it through BIOS, reformatting my drives, and then reinstalled via the Windows XP disk. Windows 8 is an entirely different breed, which has left me feeling a bit stumped, at times. If there was a way I could perform it (successfully), similar to the first time I did it years ago, I'd give it a try - but at the same time, I'm a bit reluctant, because if it doesn't work, then I'm stuck without any internet access to get further help.
Ask and ye shall receive. This should be doable in Windows 7 and Windows 8 on another PC. I recommend using a USB Flash drive like in this tutorial, but I'm sure you could use something else.
If you want, you could also use Hiren's BootCD to make a bootable CD with many options and programs on it (I keep one, just for certain situations) that will allow you to do the same things.

TS3999 my icloud calendar from gmail syncs with my ipad and gmail but won't sync on icloud on my pc
My ipad mini and my gmail contacts are syncing but if I go to icloud.com not of my calendar events are listed. In the upper left corner it just says CALENDAR. My ipad mini is set up to sync with my gmail account and that seems to be working. I tested entering a new event on my ipad and it synced to my gmail calendar but won't sync to icloud.com apple account.
See Pierre-Yves 1 post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23297197#23297197
This was driving me crazy. Sync between Outlook 2007 and my iphone was working perfectly on ios 6 - I primarily sync Calendar, contacts, and notes.
Then everything went bizerk with ios 7... All of a sudden nothing was getting syncronized, but rather multiple Calendars and Contacts showed up in Outlook 2007. Disabling Calendar, contacts, and Notes in my iphone's icloud settings did the trick. Now I have ONE Calendar and ONE contact list in Outlook, fully in sync with my iphone. -

My ical does not sync with my ipad and iphone
My Ical will not sync with my phone or ipad. My address book does sync. The settings appear to be the same for both. I am running Lion on an imac and have ios5 on both the phone and the ipad.
On both the iPhone and the iPad, make sure Calendars is selected in Settings > iCloud
And check System Preferences > iCloud. Make sure Calendars is switched on there.
If everything was already setup correctly, try resetting the iOS devices.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
And restart your iMac. -
My ipod nano has stopped syncing with my computer and now has nothing on it.
My ipod nano will not sync with my computer. I used the restore store settings and now there is nothing on it. Help please.
Is this the computer you originally set the Nano up on or sync it with? Are you sure your iPod isn't set up for Manually manage. In others, the manually manage music option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab?
