How do i sync contacts on iPad with mac

I have 164 contacts on my ipad but only 102 on my Macbook Pro and 82 on iphone 4s. I have icloud turned on on all devices but its still not sending them to everything. Can anyone tell me what I am doing incorrectly

Thanks for that, but my Outlook contacts are synced to and all in my mac contacts book, does this not meen they would go to icloud,
No, they are in the On My Mac account in the Mac Contacts app, not iCloud.
or are they in a different format despite being in mac contacts?  If so can the outlook contacts be exported in some other way to icloud?
Outlook is not compatible with iCloud, check Microsofts site if you need more verification.
If you want them in iCloud use Mac Contacts and move them from On My Mac to iCloud. This will remove them from Outlook.

    You can add your iCloud account to his iPad as a secondary account to his primary account (settings > mail, contacts, calendars) and enable just contacts and calendars.

    You cannot.  Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
    it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

    Cannot sync my contacts on my ipad with my iPhone.  I don't have a Mac laptop.  Can it be done directly from the iPad to the iPhone?

    You should be syncing regularly with a cloud service or your computer.

  • How can i sync contacts outlook 2010 with iphone 4 data

    how can I get my data to update or swap on my phone and in outlook 2010. Contact data specifically.

    Syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    If your Outlook address book includes contacts as well as your iPhone, you will be provided a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select. The contacts between the two will be kept synchronized with following syncs of your iPhone with iTunes.

  • How can I sync my new iPad with my iPhone and Gmail?

    I just purchased an iPad air.  I want to sync the iPad with my iPhone 5c and my Gmail account.  Everytime I go to add go to add an email account it tells me my gmail password is wrong.  How can I sync these devices?  Thanks Jenni

    When you add the account to the pad it should work just fine.  You are doing somethjing subtly wrong with the password as you are setting the account up.
    Try again, and pay real close attention to not only the password, but the other entries as you set up the account.
    If you get frustrated, simply go to google, and reset your passwoird to something new that you will easily remember, then use that password.  You will need to change the pword in your other devices as well to match the new one.

  • Sync numbers for ipad with mac

    Hey I just got an ipad 2 and the numbers app.  I need to keep my databases in sync..ie updates on ipad should sync with mac and visa versa, please give me some advice on how this can best be achieved?
    Chris

    The only way I have found so far is:
    Syncing from the Mac to iPad - you need to ADD the file to the iTunes file list, under File Sharing, for the appropriate App. This applies every time the file is changed on the Mac. If the file already exists on iTunes you will need to accept the overwrite option for the updated file. Next remove the file from the iPad and import the file again over WiFi from the Mac.
    Syncing from the iPad to the Mac - highlight the file to be in sync [ for Pages and Numbers the file in the centre of the screen under My Documents ] and select the Transfer icon. Then select the option Transfer to iTunes. In iTunes you then need to select the file and click on the Save To button and then select where the updated file is to be saved.
    The problem with transferring documents to the iPad etc. is that it needs to be attached to the Mac in order that the list of Apps and Documents that allow File Sharing can be seen. Strangely the only way to transfer files back and forth is via WiFi - not USB. Stupid really. Apple needs to sort this out as the current arrangement is rather amateurish.

  • Syncing contacts from ipad to mac mini

    I want to move or sync my contact book to my mac to it will sync to my Ipods and ipads can I do this without using the cloud?

    iCloud would be the easiest and most efficient way, not sure how else to do it. Maybe a 3rd party app can be found in the App Store to do this.

  • Syncing iPhone and iPad with Mac Book Pro

    Is it possible to sync my iPhone and iPad to my Mac Book Pro and have the same screens and apps? I see where all apps appear in my iPad syncing window, but I cannot make it exactly like my iPhone... Is this possible? Thank you!

    Hi Kristi,
    Connect your iPad and your iPhone to your MBPro. Launch iTunes. Under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window you can select either device then select Apps from the menu.
    You can drag home screens and rearrange apps right from that window. Very smart idea on your part to do that. That way it's the same (or close to) on both devices.

  • How do I sync my iPhone messages with Mac

    Having trouble syncing messages from my iPhone to Macbook. Am I doing something wrong in settings?

    For others.
    Enable the Messages app on the phone.
    The Number then registers with the iMessages Server  (it will take a few moments to Verify).
    Once that is done you can Set whether it is to send SMS if it can't do iMessages.
    You can then Add the Apple ID  which in turn links the tow and makes Pop ups appear on the Mac version.
    You need to accept these and the iPhone Number is added to the Receive At list and a drop down appears for Start Conversation From.
    The "Sync" as Apple calls it is only "Display on All devices".
    Deletions and other actions have to be done on each device separately.

  • How do I sync my iPhone 3g with iPad I have iCloud on both devices

    How do I sync my iphone 3g with ipad I have icloud on both devices

    An iCloud email account is an IMAP account. With an IMAP account, all server stored mailboxes are kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account. Unless you have changed the Mailbox Behaviors with the account settings on each device, the account's Drafts, Sent Mailbox, and Deleted Mailbox are stored on the server with each device. Any user created mailboxes are also stored on the server.
    On each device, go to Settings > iCloud. Contacts and Calendars need to be turned on for over the air syncing.
    To have iMessages synced with each device, check this link.

  • Question: How do I sync contacts from my iPad to my MacBook Pro running Mavericks?

    How do I sync contacts from my iPad to my MacBook Pro running Mavericks?
    rbarge

    Contacts sync via iCloud.
    Set up iCloud on your iPad and your MBP, with the same iCloud account on both, with the same Apple ID.
    On the Mac you set this up with System Preferences > iCloud, and have Contacts checked in the box on the right.
    It looks very much the same on the iPad, Settings > iCloud.
    If you have set this up and it's still not working, then sign out of and then back into your iCloud accounts.
