Why can't i sync my ibooks on my iPad to my laptop?

why doesn't my ibooks and pdf files i have on my ipad sync to my macbook pro with icloud. I have all the settings to do so. can anyone help me?

If you mean the Settings > iBook > Sync Collections setting then that doesn't copy ibooks / PDFs / epubs between devices/computers. If that setting is 'on' then if a book is on both your iPad and Macbook and you move it into a collection on one of them then it will be moved into the same collection on the other, but it won't copy the actual book onto a device/computer (you need to download/sync/copy your books/PDFs onto each device/computer that you want them on).
If you have PDFs and/or ibooks on your iPad and you want them on your Mac then you will need to connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over (that will copy PDFs and/or epubs that are in the iBooks app on your iPad, not just actual ibooks).

Why can't I sync my todo list with ipad and iPhone?

Is there any way, without buying a separate app to sync the todo list in ical with ipad or my iphone?

RIM has taken a bit of a cloud approach on this. If you use gmail, you can install Google Sync on your blackberry. This will sync your calendar (and contacts if you wish) up to the cloud, and then when you enable it on your playbook, down to there. I'm using this setup, and my BlackBerry, PlayBook, and Google Calendar are always in sync no matter where I make the edit or change.
Why RIM didn't implement a method for imporating this data, no one knows. But if you really wish to just view your BB data, you'll have to use Bridge apps for now.

Why can't I sync my music with my iPad mini? I am using the latest version of all software available

I don't understand why I cannot sync any of my songs with my ipad mini through itunes. Please help

Hello cwill2
Change one of the options to sync, like check to see if you are Manually managing your music and videos. If you are you can drag and drop the music you want to your iPad mini. If you are not, then check the things that you want synced in the music tab when looking at your iPad mini in iTunes. Either way, change it and sync, then revert the changes and you should be able to get your music on there.

Why can I no longer open IBooks?

Why can I no longer open IBooks?

Go to the Apple Menu (top left) click the Apple Menu and select "About This Mac"
That will result in this window:
The version number is right underneath Mac OSX.
Then I will need to know which version of Office (Word) which you will see on the splash screen when you start it.

HT4910 Why can't I sync notes from my iPhone 4S to my ipad mini?

Why can't I sync notes from my iPhone 4S to my ipad mini?

Hi Drumsing,
As long as you have your iCloud account set up and signed in on both devices, and the Notes checke in iCloud on both devices, there is no reason they should not sync.
Try resetting both devices - Hold down the Hole and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold until the Silver Apple appears. Do that for both, then try Notes again.
P.S., after you write a note, you need to close the App on the device you wrote the note on before you open the app on the other device to see it.....
Hope this helps,
GB

Why can I only sync 2 audible accounts to my iPod

why can I only sync 2 audible accounts to my iPod

Why would you need to sync any more than just 1? What exactly is happening? Need a bit more detail in order to assist you.
However, it sounds like it may be more of an Audible issue, in which case you should contact Audible's support.

Is your iPad showing up in iTunes when you connect it? If not, unplug it from the computer and re-plug it. Sometimes it is best to try a different USB port.

HT1386 Why can't I sync my iPad to pc, it says this iPad cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started

Why can't I sync my iPad to pc, it says this iPad cannot be used because the Apple mobile device service is not stated, the last time they were synced was December and I had no problem.

Log in as an Admin User on your PC. Type 'Services' in the search area above when you click on start. (or see control panel and select Admistrative Tools.)
Select the Services shortcut. In the window that appears with your listed service, navigate to ipod service, Apple Mobile Device service, and, Bonjour Services. Doubleclick them to get the property page. Change startup to automatic, click apply. Then click start,
There is a known issue that when iTunes updates it incorrectly sets the Service startup type - this is normally due to installations on Vista and win7 services and drivers that run in the Local Sstem requiring Admin account permissions that are not always granted with User Account Elevation, when running installations or updates in User account.
Normally the Local System is set to inherit the User account permission token when being set up - but Apple in their infinite wisdom have a higher token in place for their services. so a standard user cannot derogate the required elevation, even with the UAC to admin prompt, since the local system is owned by the Machine account and only Admin, bBackup, Restore, Machine, operator accounts carry the same descriptor permissions on process ownership to set these services correctly.
Third party security programs, such as Kaspersky can also limit installations by User account installations, which adds to the problem. I have had a few installations fail, even in Admin mode - because Kaspersky sits on par with the Main Machine Administrator account for watching program and installation directories and registry keys - (which have higher privilege levels in some respects than the ordinary Admin account you normally start a new machine in before you add any other user accounts- all very confusing - but that's Microsoft all over for you.
Follow Ralph's advice if you do not have the necessary software already installed. You should install Apple's Application Management Software - which will look after the installation of all required elements for you and notify you of updates pending. In options have it set to Notify only - not all updates may be requred, and this option allows you to see what is being installed. It is good practice to set all updating software to Notify only - especially any thirdparty software - much of which carry all sorts of little 'extra's' you may not need or want.
It is also good practice to keep an eye on your Program and Features option in control panel, just to see what is being installed and when - including Windows updates.
Sorry about the long reply, but with December being your last sync - a lot can change in the meantime. Best be prepared.
Best wishes, Ct

HT2729 Why can't I sync my flim That I have already bought from my iPhone to my iPad

Why can't I sync my flim that I have already bought for my I phone4 to my new iPad 2

I'm having the same issue and the books I'm wanting to sync are checked. It worked on previous audiobooks that I had. In fact, I just finished the two that I had loaded and want to load two more. I only keep two books (4 files) on the device to conserve space. I'm using an iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.3. there is 3GB free on the iPhone and I don't get any errors when syncing. My music is syncing fine and the books that unchecked were removed from my phone.
I just tried to resync with one of the books that had previously been on my phone. It will not reload on there either. Here's a screen shot of iTunes and below that is the screen shot from my phone after syncing. Thanks for any help.

Why can I not sync all my songs on itouch. Previously had 4800 song on 32g itouch. after a reset reloaded same playlists..no format change same content itouch will now only hold 2800 of the previous 4800 songs

Why can I not sync all of my songs on my itouch.. Previously had over 4800 songs on itouch after a factory reset and new sync of the same unaltered files the itouch will only hold 2800 songs before it runs out of space.. Again same songs/files. any one got a clue?

Before you restored it, did you check that box on the sync screen that downconverts the songs to a slower bitrate? That's the only thing that I can think of other than you adding more of other things (apps, pictures, videos, etc.) this time around but not the last time
