Why is apple maps syncing my favorites?

Whenever I add a favorite in "maps" it gets synced to my other ios devices.
So far I haven't found a way to turn that off.
Every option in iCloud is turnef off.

I don't even have a SIM card inserted into the device, so I don't see how that could impact it. All other download services are working fine, with consistently about 15-20Mbps download speeds on Comcast. It is only Apple Maps that seems to have an issue. Trying TopoMaps, e.g., the map loaded instantly on places I have never searched before (ergo, map tiles were not cached).

iOS 6 Which Features in What Countries...

HT5429 Why is Apple Maps "List Results" unclickable?

At first i thought this was only a problem with my phone (iPhone 4), however the Apple screenshot in their "Using Maps in iOS6" article shows the same unclickable "List Results" button.
Why would this feature be included but unclickable for everybody? I can find no information on the subject online anywhere. It also makes no sense why the fact that it is unclickable would not be mentioned anywhere on the Apple site.

Same thing but different here in Montana. I tap on my address in Contacts and am taken to someplace about 200 miles away on the map. The street there is not even the same name as my street. I tried tapping a location and dropping a pin to use for my location and using that as my Home. Apple Maps comes up with an address for the dropped pin but when I tap that address in Contacts I shown a location about 5 miles away instead of where I live. Because of these map problems I cannot use Siri to provide location based services related to my Home.
I have reported the problem but so far there has been no fix.

Why are Apple Maps so terrible? Not fit for purpose, an absolute disgrace!!!

I am pretty furious about the extremely poor quality of the Apple Maps and I really don't believe that they are fit for purpose and should not have been launched with iOS6.
Maybe they work in the US but in the UK they are terrible, London looks great, but everywhere else is a blurry mess, and even major cities such as Nottingham where I live are unrecognisable, covered in a blanket of cloud!
Come on Apple, this is not on either get it fixed or get Google Maps back.
I am seriously hoping that Google launch a Map App.
I have been a long term Apple fan, currently have an iPhone 4 (5 being delivered tomorrow) and and iPad 3... but I will reconsider future purchases if iOS is not sorted... don't even get me started on YouTube!

Why does Apple TV lose all favorite podcasts after update?

This has happened to me several times. After a software update, all favorites in podcast are lost, as well as the setting for home sharing. Have others experienced this?

Unfortunately the last update required/forced a reset of the Apple TV, hopefully this is a one off event.

Why is apple maps data different on the mac to the iphone

basicly there is upto date data on my maps app o nthe mac but when i go and see the same strech of road on my ios device it is the old data. yes this sound picky but i just want to know why, and if it the iphone catche ( if that the right word) how do you clear it?

No, the Mail program doesn't have a fatal flaw (though it does have plenty of small irritating features) - there is something wrong with your installation or configuration.
1) run disk utility and perform a disk repair (not repair permissions). Since you have Mt Lion it would be most convenient to reboot into recovery mode (command r on startup) and run disk utilty there. Disk Utility cannot repair the startup volume which is why you should restart in recovery mode. This will ensure your problem isn't a had directory.
2) create a new user account and configure Mail for at least one email account (assuming you have more). Make sure it is one that locks up. If the problem doesn't exists on the new account your problem exists in the account you use. If so, do you use any mail plugins?
3) If the problem exists in the new account start Console and look for errors involving Mail. Do you see any hints there? Don't post all the error messages but feel free to post any that mention Mail specifically.

HT4898 Why is Apple downgrading sync support for Mail with iCloud?

In the past, if I didn't move forward when Apple moved forward, all that happened was that I did not have access to new features.
This time, with the demise of MobileMe and the introduction of iCloud, if I don't move forward I lose features, but even worse, even if I do move forward, I still lose features.
In particular, the lack of syncronization under iCloud of Mail's Rules, Accounts, and Smart Mailboxes means that on our several machines I have to manually do updates multiple times, which of course leads to multiple mistakes.
In my view, what Apple has done has the look and feel of customer abuse, something usually attributed to another large tech company. I can't avoid losing functionality, whether or not I move forward with Apple.
The word disgraceful comes to mind.
Is there a good reason for Apple's policies that concern Mail-feature synchronization? I'd like to hear them.

What is the point in speculating? All it does is lead to misinformation being put out, a lot of which ends up being taken as fact by those who don't realise it is just speculation. Speculating on unproven facts does not lead to understanding. If you don't know the true reason for something, how can you understand it?
I should not have picked up on the word, speculate, which you introduced in your first reply to me. These are called Apple Support Communities, after all, and so I was hoping there was a reader somewhere who knew more about the tech world, in particular Apple's world, than I do, and was also someone who could shed light on why Apple has taken the path it has taken.
And Apple aren't saying you can't speculate at all - just not here, on Apple's official forums ... . We're Apple's guests on these forums so ... you abide by the rules.
So, I checked the Terms of Use, and of course, you are correct. Apple wants no criticism of their policies on the Apple Support Communities forums. The ASC forums are operated on Apple's dollar, and hence they have the right to manage the forums as they see fit.
The "agreements" we sign every day to use various digital services (or banking services, for that matter) are not negotiated understandings. They are of the form, "our way or the highway".
Exactly, and if you don't agree with it. Don't use it. Nobody is holding a gun to your head. MobileMe and iCloud and all the other services Apple offers are optional. Nobody has to use them.
I'm disappointed that you used the gun-to-your-head argument, because it stands out as sophmoric, especially in the light of your other observations. Today's corporations do everything they can to insulate themselves from legal actions of disgruntled customers. Some of that is understandable because of the litigious nature of our society. But the one sided agreements, tantamount to sign and we play, otherwise we take our ball and bat and go home, are in fact a de facto coercion to sign. Were we all to say, No, to such agreements, our society would have to return to the pre-transistor era. In order to live in our modern society, we have to sign.
I went right to the top months ago, but as is common with the stereotypical large corporation, and now Apple, I was totally ignored.
Just because you didn't receive a reply, doesn't mean your email was not considered. ...
And making requests via email to a CEO isn't like a drive-thru restaurant where they take your order and immediately do as you asked (shareholder or not).
As a matter of logic, the fact that someone does not answer one's letter does not mean that the letter was not read or considered. As a matter of probability, however, it is quite likely that the letter was ignored or read and ignored, especially since CEO's of large corporations have a staff to handle things like this. I wrote to Cook because it was reported that he paid attention.
And thanks for educating me on the difference between a CEO and a drive-thru restaurant.
Well, in keeping with the ASC Terms of Use, I'm not supposed to be talking about any of this. So with due deference to the Terms, over and out.

Why is Apple Maps making up words?

The voice of navigation (siri) apparently made up a word the other day. I was driving down a road using navigation on my phone, which was plugged into my car speakers. Siri told me to turn off on to a ramp and I did so, Then it it gave me the next direction: "In 900 feet turn right on to 'adweandi'." Adweandi is not a street anywhere that I know of, and definitely not in that area (I am pretty familiar with the area), so I looked at the screen and it said "Turn right onto Broadway". I thought maybe I missheard what it said, so I had it repeat the audio direction, and again it said "Turn right onto Adweandi". I had it list all of the steps and there was nothing in any of the directions that looked even remotely similar to 'Adweandi'. I'm not even sure what exactly it was saying, but it sounded like the words 'add' + 'we' + 'and' + 'I' strung together with no spaces. I had it repeat the word like 10 times, and it just kept saying it over and over. When I finally made the turn on to Broadway like it said on the screen, it immediately said "Continue on Broadway for 2.5 miles and the destination is on your right."
What could cause something like this? Has anyone else experienced the voice navigation making up words before? I know sometimes it can mispronounce words, but first of all Broadway sounds nothing like Adweandi, and second it said Broadway perfectly clearly after I made the turn.
I am using a 16GB iPhone 5s running iOS 8.1.

This obviously isn't a big deal, I'm just curious. This is where I was, you can see there isn't anything like adweandi here:

I hate Apple maps, will Marvericks give me option to sync contacts with google maps?

Will Mavericks let me sync contacts with google maps or require sync to Apple Maps as does i0s7. I hate Apple maps.

I have exactly the same issue. I updraged my iphone4 to iOS 5.0.1 and iTunes to version 10.5.2.11. I'm also running Windows7, but 32bit.
And I can also confirm this used to work both ways.
Good thing is that the iTunes backup and restore kept the new iPhone contacts on my device during the upgrade. But they are still not syncing to google.
So the bad news is that its broken and has been for some time now.
anyone?

If apple app store has an app to sync windows phone with itunes called windows connector, and windows phone and apple are competitors, why doesnt apple make an app for android that syncs itunes without a third party software

I want to simply sync my android and my mac itunes without downloading any software. Windows phone has an app to do that even though apple and windows phone are competitors. Why does android not make an app or why doesnt apple create an software or something

Apple didn't create the Windows Phone app (Microsoft). Apple has nothing to do with this, and Google should do an app for this

Nokia Maps & Sync favorites on Belle N8 is no long...

I've just upgraded to Belle on my N8 (did a three finger reset and factory reset - then reinstalled Belle again)
i now go to the maps section and can no longer sync my favorites is it a known issue? is there a fix/ workaround ?anyone else have the same issue?
Your help and advice would be most helpful

Solved!

@Flexibug
Carrying out three finger reset upon Symbian S^3 device can still have repercussions and not to be undertaken lightly. Are there any issues with Nokia unified sign-in such as Nokia Store as well as Nokia Maps?
Certainly no issues with synchronising in Maps applicvation:

Why will Apple notes will not sync. with iPod or iPad

Why will Apple notes not sysc with iPod or IPad from Mountain Lion?

IMAP is a type of e-mail account.
http://whatismyipaddress.com/imap
Apple says you can use an IMAP account to sync notes, but I haven't yet spotted how you set this up. iCloud is easy and free, though, and for me at least has worked quite well to sync my notes among all my devices.

Why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal

why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal.

Not sure of what? In your second response you said the issue was with airplay. You were also having issues connecting laptop to computer, which points to a laptop connectivity issue. I simply asked if home sharing was an issue as well, since that will confirm the laptop as the cause. Your response that home sharing is on doesn't really help since that doesn't itself have a bearing on airplay nor does it answer the question in regards to if home sharing is working on Apple TV
If you have a further question you will need to be specific.

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

Why does Maverick's Apple Maps Require WiFi for Location?

I'm connected via ethernet to my cable router. Why do I need WiFi enabled on my iMac for Apple Maps to work?
This makes no sense at all and it seems that the OS perfers to use the 54Mbps WiFi connection over my direct 1Gb cable connection. Surely this is a bug that needs to be fixed or a requirement that makes zero rational sense. The WiFi is just as connected to the exact same router as my ethernet is, if only wirelessly.
In addition, whenever WiFi is enabled, it drops the connection to my router randomly and usually during some point overnight.

Best thing to do, is send feedback to > Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback
