I have the original iPhone and I can't sync the address book from my Mac to the iPhone. What should be the problem and can I sync?
Thanks a lot for the answer. I'm so upset, have no even one contact on my phone. I has to do with the moving to iCloud from MobileMe.
I did exactly what you wrote, and when trying to click the vcf file on the iPhone the screen freezing, and then after few long seconds it goes alon to home.
So I tried less contacts in a Vcard, and i'm dividing my address book, doing little by little and it work.
Thank you so much.
I still dont get why the sync with my computer address book is not working.
And why when I moved to icloud all the photos I had next to the contacts are disappered.
I had my iPad, which it still, I did not move from MobileMe to iCloud and all the photos are there!
Anything I can do to use the iCloud on the iPad as well and update the iCloud with the photos?

My 5th generation nano will no longer Sync my address book from my Mac. It gives me a message that I have no "Contacts", and asks if I want to create some. My address book is full of contacts, but for some reason it thinks it is empty. All the other sync operations work fine including iCal. My Mac is running OS X 10.7.4.
It sounds like all of your contacts on your Mac running Lion are actually stored up in iCloud.
Several users running Mac OS X Lion and now ML (and iCloud) have no longer been able to "sync" contacts over to their older iPods models.
A work around is to export all of your contacts out of Address Book as vCards and them copy these vCards into your iPod's Contacts folder. You'll need to have the Enable Disk Use option ticked from under the iPod's Summary tab in order to browse out to the iPod's Contacts folder via the Finder.
Using your iPod as a storage drive
That's the only "solution" I have been able to use to get contacts to sync/appear on my 5G iPod Video.

While doing the backup via iTune, my contacts in iPhone AND iPad have been completely wiped out. They are still all available on my Address Book on my Mac. Any idea what happened and how to resolve this ?
Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

Can I transfer an e-book from my Mac laptop to my iPhone? I have installed the iBook app, but don't know if I can transfer my e-books.
Be careful with the transfer talk. Keynote for the pad and the mac are slightly different- so make sure the template they plan to sell you will work on the pad, as opposed to a mac.
If you can get it as a file, you can e mail it to your self, or stick it in drobobx and bring it down, or use your normal syncing device.
How are you syncing your pad now, with a PC?
if they are selling it for the pad, they must have a way to get it to you. So spend some time on their website and see if they have some good instructions for you. -

iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

How do I sync my address book in my Mac to iPhone instead of my old blackberry
I stopped using the Backup Assistant over a year ago because it wouldn't backup the email addresses onto my blackberry even though it showed in Backup Assistant.
Now I got a new iPhone 4S and I want to use my Address Book in my Mac to the iPhone. How do I sync it to my Address Book?
How does that differ in syncing with iTunes?
I already have iCloud.
Should I sync it to iCloud or my Mac Address Book (which really is already synced with iCloud, I think)?
I'm afraid to activate my iPhone until I have these questions answered.
Can someone help me?I don't have a Mac but on my windows if I go into my phone info on iTunes when plugged in I go to contacts and there are choices to choose from like gmail and windows then sync. I assume when it's done on a max there is the same option on iTunes. If you go to iCloud.com and sign in you can check to see if your contacts are there. If you activate your phone it won't ruin what you have. It will ask you if you want to back up to what you have if there is anything. If you don't back up you can even if you say start fresh. I would go to an apple store if those things don't check out.

I may have "Work, Home, Skype, Work Fax" (for example) order in Adress Book on my Mac, but there is no gurantee, apparently, that this order will be preserved across entries on my iPad and iPhone. In some entries I might get "Home, Work, Skype, Work Fax" while others might have "Work, Skype, Home, Work Fax". Even with just Work and Home, the ordering is not consistent. Can I force a specific order?
Having the same problem. Have iPad and iPhone, both running ios5, both sync to the cloud, and data entered on one soon shows up like magic on the other. But Lion MacBook Pro refuses to join in the dance. Contacts and calendar entries on the mbp don't show up in either the ipad or iphone. I have the same account login info setup on all three devices, and as much as I can tell, preferences set up correctly. Oddly enough, when I am in the mbp cloud preference pane, and click on the ? for help, it tells me it can't give me help because it is not connected to the internet. Well, it clearly IS connected to the internet. Don't know if that is related to the non-syncing or not, but it is a little strange. A little bit of operating manual for cloud would be helpful.

How can I get my iphone to sync its address book with my mac?
I have iCloud configured to sync my address books, but they don't. I have all my contacts on my phone and want to be able to have them put onto my mac. I've never been able to figure this out. I used to have the sync address books setting selected (before iCloud), and it still never synced. I've read other discussions on this and have tried adding a contact to see if it prompts a message about merging contacts come up, but nothing seems to work. I have tried everything it seems. Any help?
You'll have to use Wi-Fi to sync, Bluetooth is not supported:
You can use iPhone with the Apple Wireless Keyboard and other Bluetooth devices, such as Bluetooth headsets, car kits, and stereo headphones. Third-party Bluetooth headphones may support volume and playback controls. See the documentation that came with your Bluetooth device. For supported Bluetooth profiles, go to support.apple.com/kb/HT3647
From the manual: iphone_user_guide 5 page 109
Use iCloud to keep Contacts up to date on your iOS devices and computers
Go to Settings > iCloud, then turn on Contacts. See “iCloud” on page 17.

Can i see my iphoto library from my mac on my iphone via icloud
I have just upgraded my iCloud storage on my iPhone and selected my photos to be stored on the iCloud, it cleared the albums I had on my iPhone that I put there via iTunes sync, how do I now view these albums now and also the photos on my mac can I view them on my iphone
Regards NeilI have just upgraded my iCloud storage on my iPhone
I take it, you upgraded your iPhone to iOS 8 and enabled iCloud Photo Library (Beta)? (iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ)
That will stop all easy ways to get your photos from your Mac to the iPhone, because it disables My Photo Stream from the Mac to other devices, and it disables iTunes Photo Sync. You can no longer upload photos from iTunes.
What you can do, is use the iCloud web interface ( https://www.icloud.com/#photos ) to upload photos from your Mac or send them by Mail or Shared Photo Stream. You can also browse the photos in your iCloud Photo Library using the Photos.app on https://www.icloud.com/#photos. This will easier, when iCloud Photo Library beta will become available on the Mac with the Photos.app early next year. -
How do you transfer ical data and address book from a mac back up to an ipad?
I have a HD back-up from my mom's dead imac g5.
I am sending her an iPad, and would LOVE to have here Address Book and iCal data so she has that all set up.If you want to transfer a large amount of files, the best way would be to use an external drive. If you do not have one, consider the option of using Target Disk mode, so you just have to get a Thunderbolt cable; this is the fastest option.
To use Target Disk mode, connect the Thunderbolt to the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro. Then, start up your MacBook Pro and hold the T key while it is starting up until you see the Thunderbolt icon in the display. Now, go to the MacBook Air, open a Finder window and you will see the MacBook Pro hard drive in the sidebar, so access to them and transfer the files you want to. -
How can I synch my address books on two macs and also my Google contacts?
I have signed up for iCloud on my two macs, and I understand that their address books will be kept in sync. But will the sync with Google that I have set up in Addressbook.app continue to work?
Selected under the Info tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes.
With such a question, you should spend some time with the user guide.
