sync issues

I'm using a 7th Gen iPod Nano to listen to Audible audiobooks and music. Since I'm regularly getting new audiobooks, I frequently need to change what's on my Nano--deleting old books and adding new ones. There's also a lot of music on there, but I rarely change that. Here's the process: 1)...

I can't believe I am posting this. I have to be missing something obvious. But... I have a new laptop and a newish iPhone. In the past I had an iMac (now in the dump) and an older laptop (now erased/reset) that were part of the same Music library. I decided to clean up my Music library. I...

So I've been noticing some really weird glitches on my Moms 14 Pro that have been ongoing for awhile now, some of these were present on her 12 before she upgraded and happens on her username on the iMac too. The weirdest one happens when she logs onto her username on the iMac, its the 2020 27...

I sync reminders between my Macbook and the iCloud.com Reminders widget. My Macbook runs MacOS 13.2.1 and has the upgraded Reminders app. On a new iPhone 13 running iOS 16.5, I opened the Reminders app for the first time, which appears to run the old version of Reminders. There is no blue...

I listen to my podcasts on my phone more often than not using my headphones. But, when I want to play the next daily podcast, say on my Mac, it shows all episodes unplayed. I have to go back to my phone to remember which is the next unplayed episode. It's weird, because all my devices have...

In the past, it was possible to sync (i)Books bookmarks, highlights, etc., through the cloud, without turning on iCloud Drive for the Books app, or uploading personal epubs (not purchased from Apple) to iCloud Drive. Has this been removed from iOS? Using iOS 9.3.6 for example, it was possible...

can someone help me figure out why syncing work when my MacBook is in safe mode and but in normal boot mode the only programs I have running, which are currently disabled are my VPN (private internet access, and adguard) I have no other internet traffic apps running or installed. I have no...

Hi guys! Just thought I'd give a small heads up on a discussion that's brewing since earlier today on reddit, and also on Twitter; It seems there's some type of issue with synchronization between the iPhone and Apple Watch when they're updated with latest releases (iOS 15.3 and WatchOS 8.4...

I have an iPhone 7 Plus and have had this problem for several years. I have some shared albums with lots of photos from family members but I don't want to import those photos into my main library. On my Mac, my main library photos do not include these shared photos, they are only in their...

So, I read comic books on my iPad by syncing folders containing images from an established directory on my desktop. When I did this from my Windows machine, the pages would show up on my iPad in numerical order, meaning, the files on my desktop were named as such: image01, image02, image03, etc...

In Photos preference, click on the "Use as System Photo Library"; this regenerates the path to your library.

Every since moving to Big Sur/M1 I've been unable to sync Photos with my iOS devices. I get the dreaded "Your photos couldn't be synced because the photo library wasn't found." Pretty much every tip online didn't work. In my case the problem seems to be that MacOS is unable to generate/sync the...

Hi everyone, I don't think anybody has reported something like this. Yesterday I did a clean install of Big Sur on my MacBook Pro 13'' 2017. Previous version was Mojave. Installation went ok but there are a few things off, one of them is actually boring me a lot.. Passwords are not...

It seems there's a synchronization problem with Screen Time. My weekly utilization figures are vastly different when viewed on my Mac as opposed to my iPad and also iPhone. This is despite I've selected all devices in the reporting. Here are last week's _average utilization_ figures: mac: 9h...

My iPhone Xs shows in the finder, and all the old iTunes sync options show up in the finder window when I click on the phone in the sidebar, but nothing actually syncs. The "sync" completes but nothing is added to the phone - music, photos, books. Anyone else? And anyone figure it out?

Hey everyone, this is my first post so I'll first introduce myself. My name is Lucas, I'm from Argentina and I've been using Apple products (MacBook, iPhone and iPad) for the last 10 years. Let's cut through the chase to the problem I've been facing for the past 2 weeks. I have a 50GB plan on...

Over the years syncing with a MacBook Pro has been a nightmare with syncing speeds being very slow using the standard lightning Cable we got. I am wondering how much faster this new cable will be for syncing with iTunes compared to before on previous iPads and iPhones. I did notice that the new...

I recently purchased iPod touch 6, I have been struggling in putting videos into the device for hours and it still doesn't work :( 1. checked on the manually manage option - drag and drop for music works but not videos 2. when I drag and drop video file directly into the device, it creates a...

wondering if others experience this: that once I start adding in photos with high res. video for over 30 minutes that IMovie starts misbehaving (slow, out of sync sound/picture). I've split 1.5 hr. projects into just 30-40 minutes and the problem is resolved. But it is a hassle to have to...

Hey guys. I’ve currently changed my 6 to X. I restored my back up, and everything was all fine and just perfect, until I found out my musics that I put into the 6(mostly J-Pops that are not found in Apple music) won’t sync into my new X. To help you understand my situation, I have four apple...
