Why won't my iBook bookmarks sync between my devices

Well I like to read on my iPad but when I'm out I read on my iPhone. For some reason whenever I use the red bookmark button on my iPad, it doesn't come up on my iPhone and I have to find where I left off on my iPhone which can be very difficult sometimes! I was just wondering if anyone new how to sync my bookmarks over my devices. I have made sure that sync bookmarks is on in settings but it still doesn't want to do it!

Hi Ronda,
I got my External to work shortly after posting my original post. I figured I would post my solution in case anyone else is facing the same thing.
I could not find any trace of the hard drive on my mac but i figured out the problem was lack of power. I upgraded my external's enclosure from one that used one plug (data and power on one usb port) to one that used two plugs on one cable (data on one plug, power on another) and it properly powered my drive and I was then able to find it in Disk Utility and format it to work. It is formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). It has functioned properly since then. As far as using firewire vs. USB, I (at this moment, at least) have no need to boot from the external, so i don't see the need in using it. However, firewire is pretty new to me and I have never used it before so if there are other benefits to using it over usb, i would love to know. Especially since my external currently takes up both of my USB ports unless I use a hub or plug the power part of the cable into a USB wall charger or something like that to free the other port up.
Thanks,
Geoffery

Why won't my hotmail account sync between devices?

It's really annoying to have to see and delete emails on every single on of my devices. I have icloud all set up and all the settings I believe are correct. Yet, they don't seem to me syncing or mirroring one another like I thought they would.

You can't pair an iPhone with an Android device.
There are lots of other ways to transfer contacts. Do a Google search for "transfer contacts from android to iPhone" and pick the method you like best.

Why do PDFs in iBooks not sync across my devices

PDFs that I create on my MacBook Air and save in iBooks do not sync to my other iOS devices.

For me. I have had PDFs on my idevices for a while. I use to have to open in iBooks on a iDevice. Then sync that device to iTunes on my home computer then sync all my other idevices. That worked till about 6 months ago. That's why I was excited when I heard iBooks was coming to Mac. I was hoping it would fix. So I anxiously awaited and no beuno.

IBooks not syncing between iOS7 and Maverick

iBooks not syncing between iOS7 and Maverick
Just updated my MBP to Mavericks and only a few items have synced from my phone to the mac in iBooks. The phone was also updated to iOS7.0.3 (the latest) today too before the Mavericks update.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is this a bug which will hopefully be fixed shortly? Or is there something I can do to resolve this?
I have a number of .pdf´s in iBooks (.pdf books) on the phone and would obviously want everything on the phone accessible on the computer, as is the idea.
Many thanks for your help/advice.
Susan :S

This has been my headache since day one and a complete swing and a miss by Apple. I haven't been able to get ANYTHING I have not explicitely purchased from iTunes to sync in iBooks across device.
For example: If I load an ePub or PDF into iTunes and "manually" add to a device, this works just fine.
However, if I open a PDF file on my iPhone into iBooks, it doesn't show up in any of my other devices, including the new iBooks on my iMac with Maverick. it doesn't matter which device it's added, nothing syncs if it's not purchased from iTunes.
Please, someone make me a liar and tell me I've completely missed something.
Apple: Why or why can't I add PDF files to iBooks on my iMac and have them automagically show up in the collection I created on all my devices? Because I didn't purchase them from you, you say? Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Then don't let me add it in the first place and stop advertising "my content anywhere on any device" because this has been broken from day one.

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.

Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

I think I may be having the same issue In a round about kind of way. Just got an iPhone4S ... everything worked great until today when I started tinkering with the settings in my new phone and noticed my cloud was getting full and I had two iPhone back ups on there at 4GB a piece. So.... I deleted the old back up of the iPhone4 and after that is when I started noticing issues. The cloud on my phone can no longer authenticate itself , unable to tell me when the last back up was, and will not perform a back up at all. Furthermore I am unable to download apps or updates on my iphone4S, they all sit in "waiting" status....
I also must say that I purchased an iPad 2 and still have my original ipad in the house and active. Both back ups are in the cloud and both devices work fine independently and can download apps and back up fine as well. I'm pretty sure this may be the culprit concerning this issue and I too have no idea how to fix it. Please Help!!!

Why do my photo stream not sync between iPhone 4S & iPad? Some pics do but not all

Why does the photo stream not sync between iPhone 4S & iPad? Some pics do, some don't.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
    1.    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    2.    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    3.    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

Why won't my album artwork sync to my iPod Touch but it shows up on iTunes?

Why won't my album artwork sync to my iPod Touch but it shows up on iTunes?

Ok I had this problem, and for me at least what happened was that not all the album artwork was attached to all songs on the album. So if you right click one of the albums you are having an issue with, the click artwork tab, and go through each song on the album, if it is missing from any of them it will not sync properly to any device. Find the songs that have the artwork, and then right click to copy it, then go to songs without it, and right click in the blank box and paste it in there. Then once finished with any issues you are having sync iPod, this should fix the problem. It worked for me, and it was unbelievably frustrating to know I have the artwork, but it wasn't showing up anywhere on the iPod. Hopefully this fixes the issue for you, like it did for me!

How to keep playlists synced between all devices

How is the easiest way to keep all music, playlists, etc. synced between all devices (computer, iPhone, iPad). Isn't there a way without connecting via usb or wifi?

As Bob says, any iMap service can do this. GMail can, iCLoud mail can too.
Both of these can be used with Mail on any device.

Ibooks purchases syncing between devices

My iBooks is not synching properly between devices - this is a recent problem. When I make an iBooks purchase on my iPhone - the book will not download onto my iPad and vice versa. I checked my iBooks settings and the 'sync bookmarks' and 'sync collections' is both turned on. I also have removed the iBooks on my iphone and then downloaded again and the recent purchases are still 'downloading' and are grayed out.

I have a quick update. I spent hours upon hours on this and i figured out that iTunes is the central management peice of the puzzle. I have a windows 7 laptop and I have an ipad 3 and an iphone 4 and iphone 5. All are set to sync iBooks. In iTunes, the devices have sync options for music and other items such as iBooks. If you enable ibooks synchying for each device then it will synch all pdfs and books as long as the documents exist in itunes ibooks library i found that individual devices can edit names of pdfs but that change is not reflected on other devices. so i made all my pdf docs "properties" changes in itunes library, then deleted all ibooks from my ipad and iphones, then synched all over again! that solved my problem.
make sure "synch all ibooks" is checked in itunes synch options per device.
this is annoying because i should not need my pc or itunes to synch ibooks pdf files as well as changes across all devices. i want to eliminate the need for my pc but the cloud isnt as sophisticated as i assumed...

Hi
Bought a new laptop and can't sync anymore. I enabled my laptop...should be all set. But, my nano now has no music on it! My music library shows up in itunes. Why won't music sync to my nano?
Help!!argh

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
