Hello everyone.
I have recently purchased a New iMac, and while its looks fantastic, my setting up of what i excepted to be a very simple process, hasn't gone well. I bought a display model system from high street retailer, and it had a clean install, running snow leopard, so I've spent £20 updating that to Lion, Ive also spent £10 updating iPhoto in trying to sync all my files to my iPhone. Ive created, I think an iCloud account, a me account, and have an iTunes account. Why i can't just use the one login for everything I'm not sure, though perhaps i can?
My iPhone won't sync to my iMac via cloud, or properly via iTunes. i have apps and some purchases synced, but no play list or any of my personal music collection that i have on my iPhone.
email is only setup because ive done it manually on both devices. calendar, notes ect arn't sync'd either. i watched a u tube video this morning of an iCloud setup, and at one point there user clicked a merge with account button on his iPhone. i havant seen this button in setting on either my phone and iMac.
On the whole very frustrated with my apple. i love the gear, but it seems now I'm a fully fledged apple owner the whole apple experience is like iTunes (the only part of the iPhone i hate), i closed prison environment.
searching for information is just as frsutating.
gone back to basic and joined a community you guys. thanks in advance for advice.
regards Trev
