Two of my 7 calendars aren't syncing correctly via icloud from iMac to ipad and iphone. i cant find the problem. Help!
Two calendars in my list of seven are not correctly syncing between my iMac and my ipad & iPhone. Also, the two calendars appear in my iCloud list with alert symbols after the (triangle with exclamation mark) whereas others in list show a "broadcasting" symbol. I don't know how to find out what these alerts are.
I have noticed problems in syncing special recurring events....I.e I am able to set up a 'last Friday of each month" on my iMac, but it doesn't appear on my iPad or iPhone. And I note I can't set up a special recurring event on my iPad or iPhone. What can I do to solve this? Is this a known flaw in iCal?

I have no idea if this will help as I sync via iTunes under OSX.6.8 - but there may be a clue somewhere here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4981514
I have to say that, even after doing all that, my problem seems to recur at random with no obvious trigger - and it is even more bizarre because, like you, not all calendars or events are affected. Sometimes, different events within the same calendar are duplicated whereas others aren't!
And just how the iPad seems to pick up events which no longer appear in iCal is beyond me - presumably somewhere in a plist or old cache file but, as I said, no-one has any idea what or where!
No-one has managed to explian why my problem occurs or, indeed, just what is happening, but at least I now know how I can correct it, albeit via tedious series of steps.
I hope that helps?

Invites to my calendar do not appear in my calendar on macbook pro running Maverick, but appear on my other icloud synch ios 7 ipad and iphone.

I have an iPad and iPhone backed up with the same icloud account but because iv two the storage has filled really quick, how can I have separate icloud accounts?
You got it with that same apple id thing. You can use different apple id's, but then they will not sync. Apple does allow as many free apple id's as you want, but they are in the business to make money.

Why won't the folders in Mail sync consistently across my iMac, MacBook, iPad and iPhone?
Ok, this one is complex; here's the deal.....
I'm using a single Gmail account with Mail on an iMac, MacBook, iPad and iPhone, using Lion and iOS 5. The 4 respective 'Mails' are not synchronising consistently between each other. Here's what's going on:
Received messages are appearing in all 4 Inboxes.
If a message is deleted from any of the 4 Inboxes, it is deleted from all other Inboxes.
So far so good. But:
When I create a draft message, or delete a message from the Sent folder - iMac and Macbook sync with each other, and iPad and iPhone sync with each other, but each 'pair' won't sync with the other 'pair'.
But to complicate things further (and this is the one which is driving me up the wall), let's look at the Sent folder:
If I send a message from the iMac or Macbook, the message appears in all 4 Sent folders.
But if I send a message from the iPad or iPhone, those 2 devices will sync their Sent folders, but the message will NOT appear in the Sent folders of the iMAc or MacBook.
So what is going on there? I've spoken to numerous One-to-One staff and Apple technicians on the phone over the last 12 months, we've checked settings, I've deleted and then reinstalled the Gmail account on Mail - but no success. Please solve this for me!!The reason I asked is because keying all devices synced is exactly what it is all about.
FYI, You need to use the Mail application, but you do NOT need to use an @me.com account. It support Gmail and other mail servers. -
How do I sync iPad and iPhone without getting all the iPad apps on the phone
iPhone 4 tried to download all the iPad apps when syncing today. But of course overloaded the phones capacity.
After deleting from the phone and syncing they were all reaload to the phone again.
After disconnecting, went into iTunes, selected iPhone and when I selected one app to delete I got the message that this app would then be deleted off all devices. I would have thought that the iPad and iPhone options at the top of itunes window would highlight apps for each device especially as the two lists are not the same.How do I keep iPads apps on the iPad And iPhone apps on the iPhone?
Help pleaseConnect one device to iTunes.
Select what is desired to sync and sync.
Eject the device.
Connect second device to iTunes.
Select what is desired to sync and sync.
iTunes will remember what to sync to each device based on the device name/id.
Be certain to uncheck the option to automatically sync new apps with each device connected. -
How to sync Outlook 2010 Contact Groups to my iPad and iPhone
I am trying to figure out how to sync my Outlook 2010 contact groups to my iPad and iPhone. Also how do you manage the groups once on the device? Seems they can only be selected and not edited. I can get my Good contact group and my Windows Contacts contact group to sync but not my Outlook 2010 groups. Any ideas?
Mac solution. No idea if works on PC:
Work Around:
On your mac:
1. Open a new email
2. Insert name of an existing group into one of the "To" fields as usual.
3. Highlight all the resulting names in the "To" entry
[Highlight first name, and while holding shift, highlight last name and all will highlight[]
4. Copy (Command C) the highlighted emails
5. Paste (Command V) nto a pages document
6. Remove the name and anything else preceeding the first < and also the first < of only the first entry whixh will look like this:
[email protected]>,
7. Remove the > of the last email which will look like this:
, Jane Doe <[email protected]
8. Copy the entire altered list from the pages document
9, Go to Contact Book and click + to add a new entry
10.. Name the entry (XXX Group for iPad) or whatever you wish to call it
11. Paste all the copied altered list into any one of the email entry spaces
12. Click on "Done"
13. Create new email On iPad and click on + in any one of the "To" lines and search for "XXX Group for iPad" You cannot just key in XXX Group for iPad!!!!!!!, you must use + contact search.
14. Enter the selected iPad contact group into the "To" line.
15. All the entries will now appear in the "To" line and you are good to go.
Adding or deleting email addresses from the iPad group:
Easiest: Alter the original mac group in the usual way and repeat steps 1-14 above. It seems impossible to edit within the emai line of the iPad contact entry.
Rediculously simple once figured out.
Happy emailling, but please send Bcc so that you don't spread your groups' email addresses all over the internet for spam, viruses, and other unwanted emails. Be considerate and ask your recipients to notifiy you if they wish to be deleted from the lists you compose. -
I get a message that my ipad 2 and iphone 5 cannot connect to the itunes store when I try to sync a book to my book app. Although, when I click "store" both are able to access the itunes store. Why is this? Also I tried to open a book that was synced and a message that I did not have enough memory to load this book popped up--when I know that I have well over 40gb of memory left in my ipad and over 16gb left in my iphone. The message that I cannot connect to the itunes store is strange that it offers no option and I have to hit OK to get out and use my ipad or iphone.
Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.
If that doesn't solve it then what has worked for some people is going into Settings > General > Date & Time and changing the date to a few months (or maybe a year or two) in the future and then re-trying -
We have just moved from MobileMe, where we had a 'Family account' (and we each have our own @me.com email addresses) to iCloud. We share the Cal and Contacts on our iMac. How do we sync to multiple devices - we each have an iPad and an iPhone, but with different accounts set up for mail. Mine syncs OK to Cal and Contacts, but hers doesn't. There must be a way! Please help.
According the this: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html, "After moving to iCloud, family member accounts are no longer linked to the master account." You can share an iCloud calendar (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2690), but I don't think you will be able to share iCloud contacts unless you are signed into the same iCloud account on both phones.

I have several Apple devices (iMac, MacBook and iPhone) and I was wondering what is the best way to sync iCal, AdressBook, etc on these devices?
I have an iCloud acount as well, but how to sync without seeing enteries double (iCal)?
Many thanks!iCloud should not cause duplicate entries in Calendars unless you are syncing using iTunes as well as Wi-Fi. No need for both.
iCloud backs up:
Purchased music, TV shows, apps, and books
Photos and video in the Camera Roll
Device Settings
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
Calendars
From here > Apple - iCloud - Store and back up your content in iCloud.
Instructions here > Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices -
When I go to ICloud on my PC the calendar is blank. It is fine on my Android phone and my IPAD. How do I sync?
You can't go to icloud.com on an iOS device like your iPad. You can only view your data on icloud.com from a computer. This is because you can already view all your iCloud data on your iOS device from within your apps (contacts in the contacts app, calendars in the calendar app, email in the mail app, etc.).

I cant sync my ipad and my computer what is the problem
I have an ipad and am trying to sync my firefox to my ipad. It doesnt give me specific instructions on how to do this. Can you help me?
Hi AptekaJ,
There is no ''true'' version of Firefox for IOS. There is a really cool app called Firefox Home though. Take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[What is Firefox Home]]. It will give you some information on what the app does. If you are interested, [[How to set up Firefox Home on your iPhone]] will show you how to get up and running.
Hopefully this helps! -
Why does sync fotos only work from computer to iPad , and not truly sync both ways??
One way synching !!
Because that's the way that Apple designed it to work. You can import photos from your iPad to your computer by using the cable that is provided with the iPad and by following the instructions here.
iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
You can use a third party WiFi app like this one. I use this one myself.

You can can also use Dropbox and other cloud syncing services. -

My calendar info is lost on my pc. I am using icloud.
One iCloud account has one user name (a .mac or .me email name) and password. If you have set up multiple accounts in the past then you must choose one and stay with it. If you don't know the user name, then you have a problem. If you haven't really begun using iCloud (but you mention trying to get mail, so I'm assuming you have used iCloud before), then use a .mac or .me account you know you have or just sign up for a new account - and be sure to write down the name and password for future use.
If you want to use the account to sync your contacts, email, calendars, etc, then each of your ios devices need to use the same account, otherwise they will be independent of one another. -
