TS2972 File Sharing Between iPhone and MacBook Air: Please Help

I have trouble retrieving a tone I created (in the Ringtone! App) and then put in the Tones tab in iTunes on my Mac. The syncing of my 4S and my Mac seems to go fine (no problems are flagged). But I do not see the tones on the iPhone after the syncing; I searched up and down the iTunes library. All updates are current.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

I have tried using the guest login but get the message "Access denied to this server, contact administrator". I can access the Air from my iMac but even though they are both running Mavverick some of the dialog boxes appear different. And thats even though I have enabled guest login on the iMac

How do I set up file sharing between iMAC and MacBook Pro?

I am unable to use "file sharing". When trying to connect as a "registered user" it asks for my server password. What is that? I have tried every password I think it could be. I also can not connect as "using an Apple ID"

You can set up "iCloud" on all of them and select there to sync your Documents. You must be running Mountain Lion on the MBA and iOS 6 on the iPhone and iPad in order to use iCloud:

Sharing screen, iPhone and MacBook Air

Hi All iPhone and Mac users!
I have tried to use google but without any success to find answer for my question.
Have you anyone succesfully shared your iPhone's screen to your MacBook?
I have an situation here where I should run some applications in iPhone and share it to "screen" using MacBook.
Is there any app for this, any supported ways without jailbreaking my iPhone?

Thank you for replying so fast
This helped me a lot, unfortunately this xcode is not exactly what I'm looking for because I'm using application which uses SIM card and telephony functionality. But Apple TV looks like a solution and maybe this product could be very useful for many other stuff too!

Facetime between iPad2 and MacBook Air worked fine here in the USA. The iPad2 is now in Rome, Italy and we can't connect internationally. We both can hear the caller ringing in, but after accepting the call we cannot connect. No voice, no video.

I am curious if possibly the hotel has some sort of VOIP block on. Have you tried Skype? Did you talk to the hotel staff? My husband is traveling to Milan in a couple of days and I wonder if he will run into the same issue. He has had no problems from Istanbul but he is staying in a corporate apartment there. If you find an answer please post back. Thanks

Any issues with file sharing between Windows and latest Mac client?

We're running Lync 2013. My Windows client is 15.0.4551.1005. Mac client is version 14.0.8.
I open a conversation with a coworker on his Mac. I then try to share a png file. He clicks accept but then my client says the attempt timed out, and his client says that I canceled the file transfer. The coworker then boots the Mac into Windows and we try
again, and the file share works fine. When I jump on my Mac, I can send files to his Mac without issue. When he tries to send from his Mac to my PC it fails, but when he tries to send from Windows on his Mac to my PC, it works.
I can't find anything specific in the logs that would indicate a firewall issue. Is there a bug with file sharing between the Mac and PC clients?
Thanks,
Matt

No, There isn't a bug with file sharing between Mac and Pc client.

HT204291 Airplay Icon lost from both my iPhone and Macbook Air

I've lost the Airplay Icon from both my iPhone and Macbook Air, so I assume there's something up with my AppleTV setup (connected via LAN ).
Airplay was working fine until recently.I've checked all settings and they seem ok. Anyone any further ideas?
All other functions work ok, streaming video off the net , playing iTunes (installed on Macbook Air) from AppleTV etc
I've just lost Airplay from 2 devices.
AppleTV was updated in the last few days, but the Icon was lost before that.
Thanks in anticipation.
Doug

OK. Solved !
A simple reboot of my modem/router (the fibre one from BT - BT Infinity) fixed this for
both my iPhone and Macbook Air.
I can also mirror my iPhone screen to the AppleTV now too.
(mirroring only worked from my Macbook Air before)
That must be a new feature. Excellent !
I guess I should have tried that before, but maybe this will help someone
Happy Easter

How is it best to keep files synced between iMac and Macbook? I work from home on my iMac and then out in meetings on my Macbook and need to have access to the same files on both.

How is it best to keep files synced between iMac and Macbook? I work from home on my iMac and then out in meetings on my Macbook and need to have access to the same files on both. The folders are using Microsoft programmes as this is compatiable with 90% of my colleagues, therefore I can't use the Icloud service.

No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

I'm not sure, but I know it's not recommended to upgrade to iOS 8 on anything older than an iPhone 5. I only lost my music playlists and music that was on my phone, but that music is also on my iTunes, not the playlists though, and I don't want to go through ALL my iTunes library to fix it either... But it seems I don't have a choice right now.
Whatever you do, do NOT upgrade to iCloud Drive, keep iCloud till OS X Yosemite comes out, if your computer is a Mac. I also just noticed that all my documents on my phone are gone from Pages, BUT if I go on the iCloud website they are still there. Hopefully it will all work itself out when I can update my macbook pro to OS X Yosemite.
If you backed up your phone and all your purchases off your iPhone prior to trying to upgrade you should be fine... But I'm not even remotely sure.

'connection timed out' on both iphone and macbook air

The box for the internet is in my housemates room so I can't get in to restart it (if that would fix it). They're all gone for a week so I can't check with them to see if they have the same problem. I'm asuming they would since it's happening on both my iphone and macbook. But what can I do to fix it? I've looked on line but can't get anythign to solve my problem. I've deleted the network from the computer. That doesn't help. I'm at a McDonald's fixing to solve the problem. Please help me, I really need internet for some work I have to do this weekend. Please make it simple because I'm not good with computers.
I bought my macbook air in march 2012, I think it came with Lion.
Thanks a lot.

Hi there,
There may be a conflict between the network settings and your devices. I would recommend taking a look at the article below and comparing that to your routers current settings.

A problem to sync emails in Mail app between iMac and Macbook Air

Hello members,
I have had a problem that can't sync emails in Mail app(OSX Mavericks) betwee iMac and Macbook Air. I have iCloud mail account and several Gmail accounts on the mail app.
Is there anyone to help me?

When both are at home on the same network and sharing drives, you can use a variety of tools. Check the App store for fily syncronization. Also, OS X includes rsync if you are a UNIX command line person, and there are shareware GUI's for rsync as well (RsyncX was one I remember). Then there are commercial tools like Chronosync.
Another, albeit to my mind cumbersome way, is to use an airport time capsule and time machine. You use TM to backup each machine, and use the option in TM to browse another TM backup to restore from (eg. come home from a trip, backup the MacBook Air, then log on to the iMac, browse to the MBA backup volume and restore what you recently worked on from there).
Or get a NAS device for home and use that as a common personal form of dropbox. The key would be keeping a neat uniform directory structure for the things you need sync'd - like maybe just the Documents folder & subfolders.

Airport Express 802.11n keeps disconnecting Airplay with iPhone and Macbook Air

I purchased this Airport Express on Jan 7, 2012. It was working fine.
I used it for airplay only to play my itunes music to my speakers. My speakers are connected to an amplifier that is inturn connected to the Airport Express via an optical cable. I have not use it with a printer. I do not use it as a wifi to access the internet.
It was working fine until about a month or so ago when after playing a few songs it would disconnect. Now after less than 2-3mins it would disconnect. When I try to manually reconnect with my iPhone or Macbook Air, it would say that is unable to connect to the Airport.
If I keep trying, eventually it will connect and then after 2-3 mins it would cut off again. The amber light would show contineously.
I am at wits end. I have not changed the arrangement at all since Jan. What could have happened?
About a month ago there were an update to Airport Utility. I ran that update. Could that be the problem?
I'd appreciate if someone could help me. The warranty will run out a less than a month. How timely isn't it.
Is the router broken. If so why does it still allow me to use Airplay but only for a few minutes (less than a song)?
Thanks in advance for any help and or advice.
Mike

Unfortunately there could be any number of possible causes. Your router could be at fault, or the Express, or something else that is affecting both. To troubleshoot this issue you would have to eliminate or significantly reduce one or more of these possibilities.
Try performing a "hard reset" of the Express and configure it anew. Sometimes an internal parameter becomes corrupted that only a "hard reset" can fix.
The following is an excerpt from:
Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ
Hard reset
Press and hold the reset button with a pen or pencil until you see the status light (LED) start to flash amber rapidly, which should occur after about five seconds.
Release the button, and the AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule will hard reset.
... but read the entire document to ensure you do it correctly. An Express that has been "hard reset" will create an open network with the name "Apple Network nnnnnn" where nnnnnn = the last few digits of its MAC address.
If you do not see the network with that name, the "hard reset" did not take effect, which will happen if you do not hold its little reset button long enough. In that case do it again.
Following the "hard reset", reconfigure your Express.
Failing that, position the Express closer to your wireless router. This may not be a practicable long term solution for you but it will minimize the possibility that wireless interference is causing the problem.
Consider substituting another router, to eliminate that as the cause.
Finally, you could take your Express to Apple who may simply offer you an exchanged unit. It will most likely operate perfectly well for them so you will not be able to demonstrate this failure mode, but you can explain you did all that I suggested above without success.
