Sync iPhone to Mac causes repeated imports

several photos and a short video which get re-imported whenever I have plug into my MacBook Pro. I have now about 30 copies of each. Except that everything works fine. All is up to date and running smoothly.

This can happen if you use iCloud photo library on your iPhone with the active storage optimization.  If you use iCloud photo library, you must not import using a USB connection as well, since the pictures will have already been transferred by iCloud.

The problem is the following.

  • With the active storage optimization, original photos are in iCloud and not on your iPhone.  But some originals is have been downloaded for editing. These downloads will be posted as new photos, overtime you connect your iPhone, because they are new files.

When the Import Photos Panel opens, select the iPhone from the sidebar and disable "Open pictures for this iPhone". Then pictures will not launch additional hours you connect iPhone.

  • Sync iPhone and Mac

    I have a 5 iphone with iOS 9.1 and a MacBook Pro with 10.11. I noticed recently that when messages come through my iPhone Messages application appears on the MBP. Earlier, I am on my iPhone, I pressed a link from a text message that opens a page in Safari on the iPhone. At the same time, I get something that appears on my MBP. I don't want my iPhone and the MBP works this way. How can I stop this feature of syncing and sharing between my devices. It is incredibly annoying.

  • IPhone 4S not sync on my Mac Book

    Hi guy,

    I had problem with NOTE on my iphone 4S syncs with my Mac Book Air. For your info, my Iphone version 9.0.1 and my mac book El Capitan.

    Hope you all can help me.

    Try to go to iCloud.com to see if the elements are there and whether the device or the computer. That should indicate if the device or computer is not synchronizing. If the computer, try going to System Preferences/iCloud and stop synchronization. Wait a few minutes, then recheck the timing. If the device, go to settings/iCloud and do the foregoing. You can also try connecting to iCloud and then reconnect.

  • problem syncing notes between mac and iphone

    Suddenly 6 months ago my notes stopped sync between my mac and my iphone. Synchronization between the iphone and the ipad still works. I have 'unchecked' syncing notes in icloud on all units, even disconnected my mac completely and back on to see if it would work, but no. When I check my iclouds units on my ipad, it lists only the ipad and iphone. And when I login to icloud in safari, showing notes on my phone and pad, not from my mac. So it seems that my mac is out of the loop. How can I me in?

    BTW, everything is fine, it's just my notes.

    If you have upgraded to a mobile device from Apple iOS 9 or a later version and then synchronize the Notes database to iCloud, then you won't be able to synchronize the Notes on a Mac with the same iCloud account until it is upgraded to OS X 10.11 or later version.

    Only the notes in the iCloud category will synchronize with iCloud. If you have any comments on my Mac, or synchronized with another network service, that they don't synchronize.

    If note that synchronization are not, please open the iCloud pane in system preferences. Make sure that you are connected to iCloud with the good Apple ID and the Notes selected. Uncheck and check again.

  • Sync iPhone with the new HD on Mac after restoring from Time Machine

    I tried this announcement yesterday, but got into a tangle with my iPhone on which I was striking and finished with two fragmentary positions. I apologize and try again.

    My Mac mini hard drive started fail and I'll have a new one (a solid state), actually installed by an authorized service center of Apple. When I get home I'm going to restore the contents of a Time Machine backup.

    My question is this: I sync my Mac with my iPhone via iCloud. For a few days while my Mac mini has been out of action, I had to add some dates to the calendar on my phone. When I restored the content of my Mac HD and I connect to the Internet, synchronization starts automatically. How can I make sure that it is the calendar which is synced phone to Mac and not vice versa?

    It should synchronize icloud to Mac because the update to iCloud is more recent. It would be the same that do not turn on your computer for a few days.

  • Backup iphone to mac, but am trying to get you want to synchronize.

    I have backup my iphone to icloud, but I want to be very sure and also create a backup itunes periodically.  So I read about it and it seems pretty easy.  But I have a question:

    When I connect my iphone 6 to my iMac, iTunes open, because it asks me to authorize the computer, I see up on step 3 (I think it's #3) «Sync iPhone...» "and underneath it says"determine what applications to synchronize. "BUT, I don't want to 'sync', I want only to save.  I unplugged the power cord and it stopped in its tracks.

    My question, why is it automatically attempt to synchronize before I have a chance to start the backup?  IS this a normal behavior?

    And I don't want anything from my Mac on my iphone.

    Thank you!

    Probably because you have iTunes automatically sync value. I think that's the default behavior. I do not use Mac, but in Windows, you're going in Edition > Preferences > devices and you put a check mark prevent auto-sync iPhones. There must be a similar setting for Mac. Which should help you to find a way to find out.

    Once you do this, you can connect the device and not to worry about synchronization and then simply click on the Save button after selecting the phone.

    • Pictures = 1.5
    • I don't use the iCloud photo library and have never
    • in iPhoto-> Preferences-> iCloud, I have controls for my photos, the auto import workflow and photo sharing

    • in the system preferences-> iCloud, I made the same configuration in the section option from the photo section - iCloud checks, sharing photos and my photo stream
    • I tried to uncheck and recheck all these nothing helps.

  • Adding a lock to a Note iCloud disables its ability to sync with a Mac

    My Mac is upgraded to El Capitan. Synchronization for notes has been works well between my iPhone and my Mac until today when I've upgraded to iOS 9.3. Creating a new note will sync perfectly, however, once the locking function is activated (locked or not), the note refuses to sync with my Mac. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a quick fix or is this a bug with blocking of the Notes application?

    I thought about it. There was a new update that came out for OS X (10.11.4) at the same time that 9.3 is released for iOS (I didn't know this earlier). OS X 10.11.4 is necessary to properly synchronize with the 9.3 lock feature, if not disappears all note active locking.

    I would remove this issue, because it is no longer active, but I have no idea how to do...

  • Stuck on "Sync iPhone." what update to iOS 10

    I have connected my iPhone 6 more to my PC using a USB cable. Through iTunes, I was warned that there was a new iOS update (10 9.3.5). I backed up my iPhone first (no problem), then says to download and install the update. The iTunes window says 'Preparing iPhone for the software update... "and there is a pop up in the front window that says"syncing iPhone. "with a green bar crossing.

    He did this for a few minutes without any sign of progress. It doesn't seem to be a way to cancel. Is - blocked? If Yes, what can I do that wouldn't hurt my phone?

    You must leave it to update. Walk and do something else. This is a major update may take a long time. A few minutes is simply not long enough to be concerned.

    See you soon,.

    My verse ATT modem ({use of devices not apple wifi of this modem} is connected to the ATT line, Time Capsule (iPhones, Macs use the wifi of the time Capsule) and connect to the Uverse modem via ethernet.)

    Both devices are set to the highest security and each uses separate passwords.

    Non apple devices can collect data from iPhones or Mac using the time Capsule?

    With a bit of work by someone who knows how to do such things, not Apple computers could read some files on the Mac if file sharing is configured on the network... devices non-Apple and... He knew the device passwords or administrator for Macs.

    Mac could also play the files on other Macs if file sharing has been implemented and the device password or admin was known.

    If you ask if a PC can read the files on the Time Capsule, the answer is Yes, without doubt, assuming that the PC knew the password of device for the time Capsule.

    My iPhone (and Mac) has recently started inviting me to enter my password of e-mail occasionally, even when my password has not changed. I always receive my email if I do not reintroduce.  I sometimes take the message pop up on the home screen.  It happens about once a week lately.  I'm a little worried that so often on my iPhone.  The same thing happens to my Mac too, but less frequently.  I noticed that this happens for Gmail, email from work (Exchange) and iCloud, but not all other accounts.  Potential virus?
