Why can't I access my gmail contacts from gmail app whilst on gmail; subtext: why do I need to sync with iTunes to access my contacts?

Why?

You don't. I don't sync my Gmail contacts through iTunes. The Mail app accesses them just fine. You just have to set up the Gmail account as an Exchange Account. The instructions are available in Google's help documents.

  • Why can't I connect to internet on my ipad since updating to 8.3 even thought I am in sync with itunes?

    Why can't I connect to the internet on my ipad 2 since I updated to 8.3? ITunes indicated ipad is in sync and my wfi is working.

    On your iPad, go into Settings --> Wifi. Does your iPad indicate your device is on a wireless network?
    If so, can you verify your wireless network is correctly functioning?
    If not, connect your device to a wireless network. If the iPad refuses to connect to a wireless network. Go into Settings --> General --> Reset --> Reset All Network Settings. If done correctly than you will NOT loose any data while reseting your network settings. After the reset, go back into wifi settings and attempt to connect to a wireless network.

  • When my husband bought IPhone 4S like mine we need to sync with ITunes and share all information (except music). We need to access emails from the same account. We need 250 business contact info as well. Can this be done?

    When my husband bought IPhone 4S last year like mine we could not sync it and share our business email account and 250 business contacts. It wiped out everything in my IPhone and was a mess. Can you share an email account and contacts between two IPhones? Only thing is, we don't want each other's music. He still uses an old fashion phone because we can't be a two-IPhone household (home-based business) and share the same emails and contact information. What's up with that?

    "Can you share an email account and contacts between two IPhones?
    Yes.
    " He still uses an old fashion phone because we can't be a two-IPhone household (home-based business) and share the same emails and contact information. What's up with that?"
    Not sure I understand.  You can set it up however you like.
    You can certainly share contacts and e-mail while not sharing anything else.
    Ope itunes, connect iphone, select the contact program/service that you would like, select the calendar service program and calendars,  select the music, photos, apps, books, etc,  sync.  Set up whtever e-mail address(es) you like on the iphone itself.
    Do the same for all of the other idevces that you like.

  • WHY CAN"T I ADD ANYTHING BUT APPZ FROM THE APPS STORE TO ITUNES

    I'm starting to get ****** about this one ....I CANNOT ADD MUSIC MOVIES OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF FILE To Itunes...unless its from the Itunes Store ....YES I CHECK AND RESET THE PERMISSIONS ....YES I RAN DISK UTILITY AND REPAIRED THE VOLUME ....AND YES I HAVE TRIED ALLL THE WAYS OF ADDING THE FILES... It crapped out in the middle of adding some music to the libary....Since then I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ADD ANYTHING THAT DOES NOT COME FROM THE ITUNES STORE I'm running an 06 Macbook 13 inch with OSX 10.6.5 and running the lastest ver of Itunes ....and I have 15 years of computer experience on Both Mac and PC ...Tho the Mac Is more like 5 years experience

    @ Any rate... I guess the AVI ...that is already in Itunes must be the problem .... Tho I couldnt tell you the CODEC in the AVI Container ... The DVD was an MP3 DVD as stated ....Nothing but MP3/Data ...burnt in nero I believe .... But you know what ....Honestly what does the MP3 header have to do with the Video I cant add to my library.... I am flippant because I have been dealing with this problem for 6 months now ....and It seems that there are Plenty of Questions Answered ....But No answers for the questions asked ....And I am extremely PO'd about the whole situation ....I bought a Mac to get away from this kind of inexplicable kind of problem ...I didnt have a problem Adding the other 3000+ Mp3's and the AVI container video file that is already in there .... IF You give me a list of Q to answer and I will answer to the best of my ability .....If you spend your time being round a bout with your methodology ...which sorry but that how I perceive it....and I will Restate my Issue if there was any confusion .... My problem is ...I cannot add to my Itunes library any file that isn't down-loadable content for Itunes Store ... That includes ..Video File (any and all tried), Music Files (MP3, WAV, WMA(for giggles), AAC,) And PDF files .... And I just did this today ....So I'm sorry I'm to tense to be caring about syntax and capitals ...

    When I go to access my albums from any app on my phone or iPad, I cannot access the iCloud albums, only the albums synced with iTunes/iPhoto manually.  This is frustrating because I cannot add to those albums from mobile device, I have to add to them during a Mac sync.  I would like to be able to use my iCloud albums to organize my photos but if I cannot access them from apps it seems pointless.  I will end up having to maintain both an iCloud library and a separate iPhoto library which is more work that seems necessary.  I want everything easy to organize and access.  It seems like in this age where most people are more likely to use their mobile devices than their Macs (and some do not even own Macs) that there should be a mobile solution.  Hopefully I am simply without a clue and you folks can help me out with a fix or a source of info as a solution.  I have not found answers yet.

    If you look at the feed, and look at the entry 'The end to an exciting field season in Aulavik National Park' you will see the line:
    <pubDateFri, 29 Jul 2011 04:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
    You have not closed the 'pubdate' tag - there should be a '>' as the 9th character. Because the tag has been left open, it invalidates everything which follows it, and thus the entire feed. iTunes therefore cannot read it, which is why the Store has not updated. Add the '>' and republish, and all should be well.
    It's always worth checking your feed by subscribing manually, from the 'Advanced' menu, or by clicking the 'subscribe free' button on the Store page (both do the same thing) - if you can subscribe to the feed it should be OK.

  • Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac?

    Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture? This is farcical and a real problem having to email them individually to myself and is totally inefficient time wise compared to previously using image capture! Why change this when it was working well and very quickly until the latest change. Now I have to move files from downloads into an appropriate folder, after emailing each individual edited image to myself, then I have to open in Photoshop and rename the file. This is ludicrous and takes forever to do!

    There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
    You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

  • Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?

        Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?
    I have not found any article that has answered this question. They have come up with things like open the side bar and it will work, or you are using wrong format of music. Now this all happened when I upgraded to iTunes 10 and has not worked since and it worked fine before. Music format is correct, I have even gone as far as copying a file already in iTunes and trying to add it again. As soon as the files enters the frame of iTunes the music files icon the pointer is carrying turns into a circle with a slash through it.
    ITunes Ver. is 11.1.5.5  Windows Ver. is Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center
    Files I have tried adding are standard MP3, 256 kbps purchased AAC Audio file, MP3 converted by iTunes into a 256 or 320 kbps AAC Audio file. None can be draged and droped but all can added by going to File/Add File to Library...  or File/Add Folder to Library...
    Add items from your computer to your iTunes library
    Do either of the following:
    1. Drag a file or folder from the desktop to the iTunes window.If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
    2. In iTunes, choose File > Add to Library, locate a file or folder, and click Open.
         I can add files and folders by doing number 2 above but can not doing number 1
    I have gone as far as uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling per apple procedures below.
    Steps
    1. Remove iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.

    I had this problem on Windows 8.1.1 and iTunes 11.2.2.3
    To resolve it from within Itunes I did :  Edit, Preferences, Sharing.
    I took the tick out of "Share my library on my local network"
    Click OK.
    Closed iTunes/
    Reopened iTunes and I can drag and drop.
    I went back into Edit, Preferences, Sharing and put the tick back and clicked OK.
    Works fine now.
