Updating and syncing issues from iPhone to iPad

I have two issues. I just got new iPhone and after creating an iCloud account all my contacts will only appears numbers on my phone (no names attached to the contacts) and now that updated my iPad to io5 nothing will sync with my iPhone. I checked my settings and wifi is on as well as photo stream is on. I'm so confused!

Assuming you are using the same AppleId on both devices (Settings App > iTunes & App stores), you should be able to open the itunes app, select Purchased from the lower menu and download any items you have purchased on the account.

Updates and syncing issues with iPhone 4 and MacBook

Tried to sync my iPhone 4 to computer, says "could not be synced because the sync session failed to start." I have a MacBook with OS X 10.6.8; iTunes update 11.1.3; and iPhone IOS 7.0.4. Can someone please give me some direction?

Hi bikeski1234,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
As a first step, I would suggest quitting your open apps:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Then sign out of iTunes:
iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311?viewlocale=en_US
Restart and/or reset the device:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
Then try syncing again …
Cheers,

How do I update and sync a new Iphone without adding an old Iphones Info?

I used to have an I phone 3 that was backed up on my laptop. I then got a new Iphone 4 and have never synced or updated it in a year(I know that sounds crazy lol). I want to sync and back up the info on my newer Iphone 4 without adding what was on my old Iphone 3 to it and replacing my current contacts and data. I am scared that when I go to sync it and update, it will clear my new Iphone 4 info to put on the old contacts and what not.
Will updating and syncing my new Iphone do this, or will it just clear my backed up Iphone 3 info and replace it with my newer Iphone info and back up the new Iphone 4 data? Thank you so much!!!

You need to move all your data from the original computer over to the new computer first.

To sync any photos that are not part of photo stream, you will need to sync the photos to your computer via iTunes first and then to the other device.
WC, will this work from photostream on my computer too? I just turned photo stream on on my computer. Thank you. Liz

How do I sync photos from Iphone to Ipad?

How can I sync photos from Iphone 4S to Ipad 4th generation?

The only way is to sync to iTunes on a computer and then sync from iTunes to the other device, using USB.
If you're thinking of using photo stream, that won't work now, since only photos taken AFTER each device was logged into photo stream will sync between them. All older photos must be synced via a computer.
The exception to this is if you use dropbox or some other service to act as the middleman.

Directly not. Indeed, refer to photostream or use a computer to transfer photo's from and to devices.

10.6.6 update and syncing issues in iTunes with iPhone 4 and Apple TV

After installing the recent OSX 10.6.6 update, I am receiving the following error messages in iTunes 10.1.1 when trying to sync both my iPhone 4 (iOS v4.2.1) and my 1st generation Apple TV (OS v3.0.2):
iPhone error message:
"The iPhone cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to."
Apple TV error message:
"iTunes cannot sync photos to the Apple TV because of a problem on your computer. The disk could not be read from or written to."
I'm not sure if this matters - but in the iPhone error message - it does not state if the "disk" is the iPhone or the computer - but in the Apple TV error message it does make this distinction, saying that the problem is on my computer and specifically mentions photos.
Now, once I dismiss either of the error messages, the sync progresses normally and completes successfully. Also, I have checked my computer (MacPro) and all diagnostics (including the internal hard drives) pass with flying colors. And the computer is working fine otherwise - so I have no reason to believe that there is a hardware problem with the computer. And I would find it very strange that I would have a hardware problem with both my iPhone and Apple TV appearing at the exact same time. And finally, both the iPhone and Apple TV are performing normally when in use.
Since this problem did not start until after running the 10.6.6 update - logic tells me that is where the problem probably lies.... the question is how to resolve it - anyone have any ideas?

FYI: I received the following answer to this same question which I had posted in a different area of the forum and it solved my problem:
+Both those symptoms are consistent with a damaged photo cache. If you remove your existing photo cache as per the instructions in the following document, does that get you past the error?+

Not wanting iCloud to sync progress from iphone to ipad

Hi,
My brother has an Ipad and I have an iphone and we both share the same itunes account, so we both share the same icloud account. We recently downloaded an app that syncs your progress from the ipad to the iphone and vice versa. But I do not want to be on level 10 like my brother when I just start playing the game. Is there any way to stop this? I tried turning off icloud for that app on his ipad but it still is syncing to my iphone.

I can recommend you Photo Transfer WiFi app! I am using it regularly on my devices and it does exactly what it claims:

Homesharing, updating and syncing issues.

Me: iPhone 4
Older Macbook OS 10.4.11
iTunes 9.2.1
Husband: iPhone 3GS
<1 year old Windows Vista PC
iTunes 10.0.1
1 iTunes account between the 2 of us.
I recently upgraded from iPhone 3G to iPhone 4 but found out that the 4 is not compatible with the operating system on my older Macbook. I have been confused for awhile now on homesharing and being able to sync my new iPhone. When I purchased it, i was able to get most information over from the Macbook to the PC sharing iTunes but i ended up losing quite a few songs and multiple contacts, luckily no apps or photos. I have not synced since the initial purchase.
So until I purchased the 4, I used the Macbook with my 3G and my husband used his 3GS with homesharing on the PC. My question is, how can I sync my apps, music and information as well as get the iPhone 4 upgrades by sharing the same iTunes library as before. I'm scared of losing my contacts and music and photos, I also do not want to sync his information with mine or vice versa.
Thanks in advance, I am just so confused by this!

Hi and welcome...
See the iPhone 4 tech specs here: http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
See: Mac System Requirements

To keep your contacts and other information separate, you need a Mac computer running at the very least, Leopard v10.5.8

I try to update and backup data from iphone to iMac but keep fail

Hi, I have problem with updating and backup my iphone to imac. If you can help me about my problem that will be great.

Hello jennywijaya,
I would be concerned too if I was not able to backup my iPhone. I recommend the following article for troubleshooting backup issues with iTunes:

If you are still unable to update after creating the backup, I recommend the following article:

How to sync bookmark from iPhone to ipad

Iphone 4S bookmarks won't sync with new ipad or desktop browser (13" MBA last edition). I have icloud on and try every single thing I can imagine, including sync with itune to no avail. Any one else having this issue? Any real help will be appreciated.
Thank you

The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The iphone is not a backup/storage device. it simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which you sync.
The exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
In some countries you can redownload some itunes purchases.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How to stop syncing notes from iphone to ipad????

Everytime I change something on my notes app on my iphone, it will do the same thing to my ipad. I had deleted a note on my ipad and the same note was deleted on my phone, which I did not want to happen. I want to be able to stop it from syncing together. I thought it was icloud that was doing it, but i have the notes turned off on the icloud settings on both devices.

You can sync notes direct with the Mail.app on your Mac via the iTunes sync process and the same for contacts and calendar events, or over the air with your MobileMe account on your iPhone.
Are syncing calendar events direct with iCal on your Mac via the iTunes sync process as well as syncing Calendars over the air with your MobileMe account on your iPhone? Doing both will duplicate the calendars and calendar events on your iPhone, and the same for contacts.
If you are syncing Notes direct with the Mail.app via the iTunes sync process, you deselect syncing notes under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
If you are syncing Notes over the air with your MobileMe account on your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Select your MobileMe account. Turn Notes off for over the air syncing.
