Why doesn't iChat synch between my iPhone and iPad and iMac ?

I am using iChat on my iMac but the messages won't synch between my iPhone and iPad even though I am signed into my iCloud account on all three devices

HI,
It seems that in Messages Beta you could create a "Start Date" if all old messages were removed from the iOS devices.
It seems no different in Messages.  (I used this Method during the Beta period)
Others have reported that turning the Phone Off and On again also creates a "Start Point"
(The two methods are mutually exclusive if you do the above first).

  • Why doesn't iTunes always find my iPhone or iPad?

    Using iTunes 10.7 and  OS 10.8.2.  I have Airport wifi and good signal.  Many times I will start iTunes and either or both my iPhone and iPad will not show up as devices even though they are sitting right next to me (not using the cord).  Both devices are on my network and active when this happens.  Sometimes both will show up, sometimes one, sometimes neither.
    I can't figure out a way to have iTunes "re-scan" for devices, and closing and re-opening iTunes usually doesn't help.

    @ sealandia, - What type of printer and Apple device do you have? Have you changed routers or some other part of your set up? If not and the same Apple device, router, and printer are still in use, I would start by making sure that the printer and the device are on the same network. After you have checked to make sure that they are on the same network, I would power cycle the printer, router and device to make sure that they are all synced up as they can get out of sync and then not be able to "see" each other.
    To do that power cycle:
    1. Unplug the router (most do not have an on/off button)
    2. While waiting for at least 30 seconds on the router, completely power down the Apple device, and printer. Make sure that the Apple device
    is off and not just in sleep mode. Power the printer down using the power button.
    3. Plug router back in, wait for it to be fully back on and working, then turn printer and phone back on, check network settings.
    4. Attempt to print again after all devices are back on and running.

  • Sync calendar between 2 iphones, 1 ipad and a mac mini

    We have 2 iphones (acount x and y) 1 ipad ( account x) and a mac mini (account x).
    On all device i've succecfully installed our home e-mail (imap). So this works.
    Now i want the possibility to sync our home calendar between all 4 devices.
    Is this an option and if so how do i set this up?
    Thnks. Antoine

    Hello Paul.
    Can she sync her iPhone calendar with .Mac over the air (if that makes sense)?
    No this is not possible. Over the air syncing is not supported with the iPhone. All syncing is done via a USB connection with a computer through iTunes only.

  • How do i stop contact synching between two iPhones?

    how do i stop contact synching between two iPhones?

    Stop syncing them to the same source. If you're sharing an iCloud account with someone, don't do that.

  • HT4783 why can't airdrop work between iOS (iphone) and OSX (Mac Computers)?

    why can't airdrop work between iOS (iphone) and OSX (Mac Computers)?

    NNot sure if anyone help you resolve this or if it works with Mavericks but with Yosemite I couldn't send From iPhone 5 or iPad mini 2 because my Macbook Pro wasn't able to be seen via AirDrop. After a grueling 4 hours with support and factory resets of both devices I was transferred to the CPU Support team, which resolved my issue in about 3 mins. Needless to say I wasn't happy but figured I should help anyone else in the same boat as me. I have both devices operating on iOS 8 and MacBook pro rubbing Yosemite.
    1. Open Finder Window -> Airdrop -> Change setting for "Allow me to be discovered by:" to no one and close the finder window.
    2. Go To Apple Logo -> Force Quit -> Select Finder from App List -> Force Quit.
    3. Open Finder Window -> Airdrop -> Change setting for "Allow me to be discovered by:" to everyone and try to send file from iPad / iPhone to computer.
    This process allowed the computer to be seen / recornized on the iOS deVice. Hope this helps.

  • Why can't I save PDF files on my iPad and iPhone

    Since I upgraded to iOS 5 I have not been able to save PDF fines on my iPad and iPhone . Yet that's want the case before the upgrade. Can some one tell me why...b,se I feel like the upgrade was a step backward than forward..

    Thanks for this Griff but it's not the app that isn't responding.  I am in the facebook app (on both iPhone and iPad) and the app is working fine but if people post a video I can't look at the video on the iPhone or iPad.  i always used to be able to but now it keeps coming up with the message I mentioned above.  So I can no longer watch videos from facebook on either my iPad or iPhone.  Here is a screen shot of my phone of what is happening.  As you can see I have full wifi so there is nothing wrong with my internet connection. This is really annoying as I used to be able to watch videos on both phone and ipad out of facebook.  now I can't.  Hope you can help.  regards and thanks Vicki

  • Why can't I open facebook videos on my ipad and iphone?

    Why can't I open facebook videos on my ipad and iphone any more? I used to be able to open most but now I can't open any.  Now it just comes up with a message 'unable to play video.Check your internet connection and try again' There is nothing wrong with my internet connection. I am on wifi and full signal strength. This is happening on both ipad and iphone. It's not the problem where sometimes a video wants Adobe to open it. This message comes up as soon as you try to click on the video play button in the video. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this please?

  • Update 11.0.1 doesn't show iphone or ipad and doesn't start automatically

    iTunes looks different.  All it shows is banner menu,  nothing down the left side like it did  before and it shows nothing about iphone or ipad and doesn't start automatic backup and my iPhone won't charge plugged into my computer.  Frustrating, help, is it me or Apple?????

    The view > Show sidebar is the way to go to make the app appear more familiar

  • Why doesn't adobe just join the AAF/Turakiri/Incommon and accept Institution credentials?

    Why doesn't adobe just join the AAF/Turakiri/Incommon and accept Institution credentials?
    I'm just going through the academic purchase process. Talk about inefficient.
    Australia and New Zealand have established Access Federations which allow students and staff to use their own institutional credentials to log into web applications.
    Almost all universities and a lot of polytechs have joined these Access Federations.
    Adobe would be better off enabling federated login to prove that staff and students are who they say they are rather than use the current antique approach to validating memberships of insitutions.
    Go see www.aaf.edu.au or tuakiri.ac.nz

    Thanks for the suggestion Timu. I will pass it on.

  • Why won't Netflix nor iTunes load on my iPad and iPhone since I downloaded iOS7 and I OS 7.0.2?

    Why won't Netflix nor iTunes load on my iPad and iPhone since I downloaded iOS7 and I OS 7.0.2?

    Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
    I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.

  • Can't decide between the iphone or ipad as my first apple product. Is there a difference other than phone and size?

    Can't decide between the iphone or ipad as my first apple product. Is there a difference other than phone and size?

    A couple of differences:
    iPad native apps
    Interactive e-books with multi-touch and 3D support (in iBooks 2)
    Layouts (kind of merges with iPad apps, Music/Settings, etc. all look different)
    Wi-Fi only models, no contracts
    iPads are unlocked by default (3G models)
    As paul said, I would really wait for the next iteration of iPad. That's what I'm doing

  • Why doesn't my music transfer over to my iPad min when I sinc in iTunes?

    Why doesn't my music transfer over to my iPad mini when I sinc in iTunes?

    Hi Demo, thanks for the reply but I've solved it. Heres whet happened in case it can help some one else, when I was sinc'ing with my iPad mini through iTunes it wasn't putting my music on the device, everything else was good. After trying 5-6 times I reset the iPad and set it up as new. Originally I set it up from a phone back up.

  • HT4557 Can home sharing be done between just and ipad and iPhone?

    Can home sharing be done between just and ipad and iPhone?

    No. Home sharing is done from your iTunes library on your computer, not from one iDevice to another iDevice.

    Did you try? The Apple store might not be able to do it as they have no access to account security (it is a separate team). I would call the store before making the trip.

  • My iMessage will send to other iMessage users, but when they message me back, their messages will only send to me as a text message! I have an iPhone and iPad, and they've been synched for a year now, but I just got a new iPhone 5c . What to do?

    Ok my iMessage will send to other iMessage users, but when they message me back, they can only send texts. I have an iPad and when I send iMessages to
    Them from there, they receive  them, but can still only text me back to my phone. They also sometimes receive messages from my iCloud email instead of my phone number.... When that happens, iMessage works. It's really annoying! Can anyone help.
    I got the iPhone 5c around Christmas and it's worked fine until yesterday!!! This has been going on 2 days now. I have reset iMessage, and the network settings. I've restarted my phone and iPad and they're both completely cleared of messages. I don't know what else to do.

    There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage.   There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
    I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.
