Trouble syncing iphone5 and ipad now that I have Yose

Help please.  I just upgraded to Yosemite on my MacBook pro not realizing that I would need iOS8 on my iPhone 5 and ipad in order  to sync through the cloud. I can't download iOS8 on my phone because there isn't enough storage.  I did clear off as much stuff off my phone as I could and still don't have enough space. Need 3 GB more. This iPhone is new.  I don't want to buy a new phone.  How can I go back to Mavericks? Or how can I go forward?

Hi tbalco,
If you are having an issue with updating your iPhone's operating system over the air because of a lack of memory space, you may want to use iTunes to do the update instead. This does not use nearly as much space on the iPhone as an over the air update. See this article for how -
Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Specifically -
Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
Plug in your device to your computer.
In iTunes, select your device.
In the Summary pane, click Check for Update.
Click Download and Update.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

  • I recently downloaded over 20,000 songs from an external hard drive to my iTunes and I am having problems accessing some of the songs on my iPad now that I have created playlists including some fo the songs.

    It is about 90GB of music in total. Is it possible that the large volume is responsible for some fo the problems I am experiencing?

    The songs are on iTunes. I have copied some into a playlist and when I sync with the iPad the list is copied but there are some songs that cannot be played even though they are listed. These songs are listed but in greyscale so I cannot select them to be played.
    I have not exceeded the capacity of the iPad.

  • My phone contacts don't sync with Address Book now that I have "Lion"! PLEASE HELP!

    Hello!
    I have a Macbook Pro and have recently downloed Lion .... after having done this, my contacts no longer sync with Address Book. My calendar syncs with the iCAL but my contacts don't sync. I don't have iCloud set up and am not sure if that makes a difference, but any help would be GREAT!
    Thanks!

    The link provided did not contain a solution for me. However, based on what I read there, I was able to figure out the solution on my own.
    Here it is. If you have a Motorola razr. Sorry I don't know which version of the phone or software I have. Go to phonebook. Choose the options by selecting the center menu key. Scroll through the list until you find Share Phonebook Entry. It is not in alphabetical order and may be the last entry. Select it and on the next screen choose bluetooth. The next screen is object exchange. If your computer appears as an option choose it, otherwise chose Look for device and when your computer comes up, select it. The phone will then send a card to your computer. Your computer will ask if you wanted to accept the card. There is also a box that gives you the option to select all. Check select all and then choose accept or hit return if accept is already highlighted in blue. The phone card will be saved to your computer in a default save location. You will next be given an option to see where the card is, in case you don't remember where your default location is. If you choose it, a window will appear showing you where the card is.
    Next run isync and your data should be synchronized. Many duplicate entries will be somewhat altered in your computer's address book, i.e. first and last name will be combined and put in the first name box and so will not be recognized as duplicates. This is just part of the idiosyncrasies of the process. Manually go through and delete these.
    This worked for me and I hope it is helpful to someone else out there having the same problem.
    Thank you for the link Julian and others.

  • Why don't I receive text messages on my iPad now that I have IOS7

    Why don't I receive text messages on my iPad anymore

    1. Make sure software is up to date
    2. Make sure Messages is enabled; Settings>Messages
    3. Make sure Date and Time is correctly set; Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
    4. Make sure Push Notification is enabled
    5. Make sure phone number or email address is correct
    6. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) until you see the Apple Logo

  • I installed software, but need to uninstall and reinstall now that I have the registration number, how do I do this?

    I purchased a program for my business, and it is intended for Apple. however the program has since told me to enter a registration number (which I did not receive upon purchase, shame on MTSO in Edmonton) and it wouldn't accept anything. so I want to uninstall the program so I can reload it again entering the registration number that has since been given to me. hoping this will work, otherwise will have to find a new Massage Therapist office program.
    any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
    thanks..

    First see if it has an uninstaller. If not, delete the app and do a Spotlight search on the name of the program  and delete any preferences it may have set. Look for any files bearing it's name or the name of the company that created it and delete those. This is one area where Windows often is better than mac os where uninstalling programs is typically easier within windows.

  • Photoshop Touch crashes immediately now that I have tried to access Creative Cloud. How do I fix?

    Photoshop Touch crashes immediately on iPad now that I have tried to access CC.  Any thoughts?

    And try what's suggested in this thread. (<--- Click.) Once airplane mode is enabled, disable sync in PS Touch, then you can re-enable your Wi-Fi.

  • Hi, I've got no music or videos on my ipad and itunes advise that I have 23gb of 'other' material therefore the sync is unable to perform. I was forced to perform a restore earlier and now cant see the videos/music so want to replace. Pls assist, thanks

    Hi, I'm unable to see if I have any music/videos/photos on my ipad and itunes advise that I have 23gb of 'other' material therefore the sync is unable to perform when  transfering music/videos to the ipad. I was forced to perform a restore earlier and now cant see the videos/music so want to replace. Pls assist, thanks

    23 GB  of other indicates a corrupt file(s).  A restore should resolve.

  • When you have multi iphones and multi ipads, is it really best to have separate itunes accounts.  My husband and I really seems to be running into problems now that I have a new I pad and we have one itunes account.

    I just purchased the New Ipad, my husband and I have 2 Iphones (4 & 4s) and he has the Ipad 2, we are "technically" challenged, that I will put out there right up front .  We've had nothing but troubles with the imessaging, and messages stating that they have been delivered but not received.  I am not sure if it's more confusing with us having this one Itunes account, if it's best for me to have my Itunes account and my husband having his own.  The Itunes account is my husband's and for some reason, the imessager doesn't recognize "him" being registered, but it sees everyone else.  It wasn't working last night, but this morning, it worked, but when I tried to send him a text from my iphone this morning, it said, delivered, but he never got it, the only way I could get it to work, was to turn off, imessaging.  It's become very confusing and I am not sure why.  I am thinking, I will remove my Iphone from his Itunes account, set up my own (as we have too much problem with this Icloud, his contacts, his music, etc).  Any thoughts, suggest, help, would be greatly appreciated.  Not sure what this problem is all the sudden with the imessager, we had no problem before I got my Ipad (which has not been synced with his Itunes yet as an additonal device)  I am sure if there is a problem with how we have our contacts listed).  I've tried reading articles and again, being technically challenged, it is hard to follow sometimes.

    You and your husband can share a store account and still have seperate iCloud accounts for your contacts, bookmarks and stuff like that.  Click here for instructions to make an apple account without entering a credit card.  Make sure you use a different email address for each apple account. 
    Set up your iPhone/iPad whatever using the new account for iCloud.  Then go into settings/store and sign in with your purchasing account, you may need to sign out of the other account.  To the best of my knowledge, your household is allowed to share purchased legally, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
    Once you each have your own devices set to your own accounts you can set them to backup to that account and it will keep all your contacts seperate.

  • If I add a new account user,can I sync my iPhone and iPad to that account without effecting the other user?

    If I add a new account user,can I sync my iPhone and iPad to that account without effecting the other user? I'm trying to sync my iPhone and iPad  to a new account on a computer I am now sharing after my computer died.

    Don't create a new iTunes account.
    Just update everything with new info/change password/ security questions.

    You should change your AppleID password NOW. And if it says it was registered under another AppleID, the thief has probably done it.

  • TS4062 I've done all of these recommended steps.  My problem is that I have a new laptop that I am trying to sync my iPhone (and iPad for that matter) via Wi-Fi but both devices are looking for the old laptop to sync.  Any other suggestions?

    I've done all of these recommended steps.  My problem is that I have a new laptop that I am trying to sync my iPhone (and iPad for that matter) via Wi-Fi but both devices are looking for the old laptop to sync.  My iTunes is version 11.0..3.42, iPhone is 6.1.4, and iPad 6.1.3.  Any suggestions?

    All I had to do was complain.  I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store.  I have no idea why.

  • HT4623 I have never had a passcode to lock  my iPad. Now that I have updated it with IOS7 it is asking for one and is locked. How do I unlock this without having to reset the whole thing through iTunes????

    I have never had a passcode to lock  my iPad. Now that I have updated it with IOS7 it is asking for one and is locked. How do I unlock this without having to reset the whole thing through iTunes????

    Unfortunately, if the iPad is insisting that you use a passcode, there is no way around it other than to restore the device using iTunes on a computer, or by erasing it in iCloud.com via Find My iPhone.
    You could try resetting the iPad and cross your fingers and hope this is just a blip on the radar....hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
