OS X Yosemite :: Don't Want To Use ICloud But Can't Make All Information To Sync Using WiFi
Dec 2, 2014
I have an iMac Retina OS X 10.10.1, an iPhone 5s IOS 8.1.1, and an iPad 2 IOS 8.1.1Â
I would like to sync calendar, contacts, notes, reminders and email over wifi without using iCloud. I would like this to be automatic, but can't make it work. I've disabled iCloud on the both hand held devices, but the iMac tells me that iCloud is still working and that I can disable it using the hand held devices. It doesn't work.Â

I have three main apple products I need to sync.
Macbook Pro
iPhone
Mac Tower (Pre Intel) running os 10.5.8
The macbook pro and the phone seem to be all hooked up nicely through icloud now, so no problems there. However I run an old tower which I would love to keep in sync with everything else. The email still works though icloud, it appears. iCal and Address Book do not seem to sync up anymore, and I can't find a resolution anywhere.

I recently had a computer crash and lost everything in my hard drive. The weirdest thing is that when I tried to back up with time machine, it erased my external hard drive instead...so now I have no back up. I just received a new macbook pro, and would like to now sync all the information to my mac, but how can I do that as my purchases, etc. are linked to a macbook that is not longer working (meaning, I cannot retrieve any ID from there)?Â

Computer: Mac Mini, 2009 or so, 160 GB HD (about 50 available), Yosemite.
Issue: Set up a separate user and trying to import information from a Mac Book that is having issues. Mac Book was backed up to an external HD via Time Machine
Question: Is it possible to use time machine to transfer some of the information (photos, music, files) from the external hard drive to the Mac Mini? Is it possible to extract the information from the hard drive by connecting it to the Mac Mini without using Time Machine?

I've been told that I need to reduce usage on my iCloud account or upgrade for more storage. I need to see what my usage is. How do I look up the usage information for my storage on iCloud?

My family has several macs with different users. We all have the same contacts and calendars so everyon just logs into the same icloud account. But we would like to be able to use the beta messages and for that matter mail without everyone seeing eachothers mail and messages. Is it possible to set that up using iCloud?

another user messed up my address book contacts, and they synced with iCloud. Fortunately, I have an Address Book Archive that's current. So, I restored the Archive, which replaces everything in the Address Book. Then, it starts to sync immediately with iCloud, and the Address book is automatically reverted back to the previous "messed up" state. I've tried turning off iCloud Address Book syncing in System Preferences, but that doesn't seem to have any affect.Â

I've got a samsung phone with all of my contacts on it, and a new mac that I want to sync it with. My mac address book is empty, so I'd like to get my contacts on there. However, for some reason the bluetooth on my phone doesn't seem to be working. I can turn it on, but then it finds no devices and my computer can't find it. The samsung phone's wifi is working fine, though, and I can connect to my network. Is ther a way to sync using iSync through wifi, or using another application?

I know other people have posted questions about this topic, but nobody seems to be having the exact issue I am.Hardware is MacBook and iPhone outlined below, and iTunes version 10.6.1(7) running. My issue is as follows. My iPhone did not back up for around 3 days on wifi. As most posts here suggest, I simply unchecked the 'sync over wifi' box on iTunes, and clicked apply.After this, my phone has not been detected by my computer.I have tried power cycling both phone and computer, with wifi on the phone both on and off, but my phone will not show up in iTunes when connected by a cable.Many other posts here suggest that under the phone's Settings - General - iTunes wifi sync tab there should be a slider to turn the option off. All I have is a button (shaded out) saying 'sync now' and a message that my sync will resume once my MacBook Pro is reconnected.

My 2011 Mac Mini is usually asleep. Will wifi sync wake it up and then shut it down after? I am using a time capsule for the router and the mini is wired. Would it work any different if the mini was on wifi?

my iPhone will not sync with my iTunes over WiFi - I had my phone stolen and now have a new one and for some reason it won't sync over wifi. I have tried unchecking the box, applying it and checking it again and I've tried renaming my phone too.
Second problem is that I got a load of new music and when I synced it, everything went onto my iPhone except for one album - it was a musical score and I already had a couple of songs on the phone but decided to get the whole album. Everything else has synced fine except this one album.Â
Finally, when I synced my music to my new phone some of the album artwork does not show up on my phone (it did on my previous phone). When I actually tap on the artist to play the songs, the artwork does show, so it's obviously on the phone. But when there is just a list of artists, some of the artwork doesn't show. Â

I have a Mac running Lion 10.7.3 and iTunes 10.6.1 and I have a New iPad that I just got yesterday. It has been updated to IOS 5.1.1. I can get it to sync only with the USB cable. I have verified that the iPad is on the same WiFi network as my Mac, and that Sync over WiFi is enabled on both the iPad and in iTunes. I have three other IOS devices that are syncing over WiFi without problems so I beleive I know what I'm doing. Maybe I missed a step?

iOS 8.1.2 no longer allows me to sync any of my devices to iTunes 120.0.1 by WiFi, although wired sync still seems to work. I have tried all the usual tricks, such as restarting device, without success. How to restore wireless syncing?

I took my computer in for servicing, cleaning, etc. Now that it's back, it's "stuck" on the last message I received on it, which is from November. I've receiving my messages on my iPhone, but I'd love to sync them and get them "caught up" on my MacBook Pro.

I recently around 3-4 weeks ago update my Mac Book Pro to the new Yosemite software and everything was going fine until I got onto my internet! i was connected to my home wifi and everything was fine! Click into something and said I wasn't connected..! I looked up to see the wifi had disconnected! So i thought it was just a fault in my wifi modem, i manually clicked my wifi again it connected. It wasn't until after the 6th time it happened that i realised it wasn't my network and that it was my laptop! now everytime im watching a movie online or youtube its get disconnected and I have to continuously manually connect to my network! This happens every 2-3 minutes and had been frequent since I have updated! It's super annoying as it interfers with my regular web surfing and have looked for and tried so many things to fix it and nothing seems to work!

Macbook Pro (Mid-2012) Which I purchased 4 months ago.Â
It keeps dropping the signal about every 5 minutes, only on my home network. It's only this device too, since my phone and all of my roomates' devices are unphased. (streaming videos like it's no big deal)Â
This started happening after we lost connectivity with the snow a few days ago here in Seattle. I have tried all sort of troubleshooting, including the DNS thingy and restarting the router.Â

After upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.1, my MacBook Pro has been randomly disconnecting from the WiFi access point. Nothing has changed settings-wise, and none of the other devices have the same issue. Here's my log when it disconnects:Â

How easily sync mail account information (preferences of each mail account) between mac's (Mac Mini and Mac Book Pro) and iPhone? It's so easy in Windows!! Just check the option box in itunes!!Â
For now, I use iCloud, define to sync mail and connected with same account on all my mac and iPhone ... nothing happened! I have three accounts out of 13 who appear!!! But WHY?Â
I red somewhere that the account information (password) must be saved in keychain ... ok ... but how do I change that for all account? I tried to remove one and recreate ... no success ... doesn't appear.Â

I'm sure everyone heard of Onlive which launched yesterday, one of of the downsides currently is they wont allow you to play over Wi-Fi due to latency issues. Mostly they don't want the user to experience latency issues and blame it on the service rather than the connection. (They say Wi-Fi will work eventually once they optimize it more, and currently their closed beta testers are able to use it over wireless, and even on the iPad, and iPhone). Anyway, Windows has a nifty feature where you can bridge your connections, and by doing that, Onlive will work over Wi-Fi, I tried it out and it actually worked great, very minimal latency issues, but I usually am on my OSX partition, and want to play it on here. Does anyone know of a way to fake out Onlive? Or do a bridge connections type thing within OS X?

My problem is at home the wifi works great but at work or on a public network it disconnects every minute. Only happened since upgrade to Yosemite. I'm aware lots of people are having issues with WIFI since upgrading to Yosemite.Â

I've been having Wi-Fi issues with Yosemite (both 10.10 and 10.10.1), but only on my home network. All other wi-fi connections have been strong/reliable. I also ran the Yosemite beta from July (I think) until the full release, but did not have any similar issues with wi-fi. Â
Here are my hardware specs:
Plus a 500gb hard drive.Â
Here's the info on my computer's wi-fi card, and my wi-fi network itself. Router is a Linksys E1000 (which is ancient, I know, but I can't afford a 5.0GHz router right now and that seems like the only worthwhile upgrade).
