My Mac and iPad are not syncing. what am I doing wrong?

my mac mini and ipad are not syncing with the icloud. If I plug the ipad into the computer it syncs calendar info from the computer to the ipad, but not the ipad to the computer. i want it to sync without having to plug it in.

Have you setup iCloud as described here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
If so, follow these troubleshooting articles:

My iphone and ipad are not syncing my Outlook diary

When I sync my iPhone and iPad Air using iTunes (12.1.1.4) on Windows 8.1 and have ticked the "Sync calendars with Outlook" box on "Info" on both, the calendars are NOT synced. Is there some magical trick I am missing here?

Howdy John Mcewen,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
If your Outlook calendar is not being synced to your iOS devices even though the option is selected in iTunes, then I'd like you to please follow the troubleshooting in the article below.

Ios phone and Ipad are not syncing with each other

Both devices are set up to sync with same icloud account. ios phone is sending imessages from my email address, and when i try switching it in settings, it wont appear on my ipad messages stream.
Logged on to my iclous account and none of my phots/info is appearing there. made sure it is all set up to be backed up to icloud, but still not there/ It seems like the devices are not communicating with icloud...

HI msknack,
Thank you for your question. I understand that both of the devices are not syncing to match. Can you please check the following:
*Are they on the same version of sync? (Android account should not list Firefox Sync (deprecated))
*Are the managed items checked to be synced in the sync options?
Posting back could help out other users as well.

HT1386 All of music from iTunes is not loading on my new iPad when I sync What am I doing wrong?

All of my music is not loading on my iPad when I attempt to sync? What am I doing wrong?

You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For other music you need to get them from where you got them before.

How old is your battery? This weird trackpad action was the same thing that happened to me when my 3 year old battery started to swell. As it swelled it pressed up on the trackpad and caused all sorts of almost ghost like mouse pointer movements...many all on it's own. The battery itself still held a charge.
I took the battery out and could barely see where it had swelled. I then ran my MacBook Pro with battery out on the MagSafe adapter. No more ghost mouse pointer movements, resizing, dragging, and clicking.
If you can remove the battery DIY, try what I did.
I installed a new battery and everything is back to normal.

Using iCloud Glen ?
If so, on your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Select: Contacts
Give iCloud a few minutes to sync the data.
For the iPad, make sure Contacts is switched on. Tap Settings > iCloud

Your question doesn't make sense. Facebook has nothing to do with syncing an iDevice. Explain your problem if you want an answer.

My iPad and iPhone are not syncing my notes, contacts and calendars

My iPad and iPhone are not syncing notes, calendars or contacts.

Hello
Notes, Contacts and Calendar event can come from other sources too.
> Email accounts Like Gmail, Outlook ....
> Social Media, like FaceBook Twitter ...
> Apps you might be using.
Are each of your devices signed in with each account, that could be used to sync them?
Best of Luck

TS3999 my Mac and Ipad calendars stopped syncing

my mac and ipad calendars stopped syncing. What do I need to do to get them to sync again?

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

My Video and Audio are not syncing up after importing

I am trying to edit a few Ipad Clips in premier pro. My video and audio are not syncing. They are .mov lower resolution from the ipad. The original audio is fine - but after I put in a sequence the audio is off a few seconds (ahead). I did not add any affects or change anything. Please advise?
Thanks for any help in advance.
Allison

Premiere does not work well with variable frame rate video which, I expect, the ipad produces, You might have to convert the footage before you import it into Premiere. Do a forum search for variable frame rate, there are a lot of posts.

Audio and Video are not synced up ONLY when viewed in full screen....?

Audio and Video are not synced up only when I view my project in full screen. I can watch it in the project viewer the audio and video play as they should. I have a presentation tomorrow and I can't figure this out. What am I doing wrong?

Have you updated to version 9.0.2 - this Software Update was released a couple of days ago and fixes audio sync problems as well as improving stability in iMovie '11.

Do you have fix for Photo Booth Audio and Video are not syncing properly, Do you have fix for Photo Booth Audio and Video are not syncing properly

My audio and video are not syncing properly. There is a lag from the audio to the video. Does anyone have a permanent fix for Photo Booth where the Audio and Video are not syncing properly?

If you monitor the "More Like This" box (top right), other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads. You aren't the only one having this problem.
One person having a Photo Booth problem, although not the same one as you are having solved it by running Disk Utility/Repair Permissions.

Can computer expert retrieve deleted videos and photo from and iphone 4 which the photos and video are not sync before? is there any tools or software to retrieve it?

No, there are no gurantees. The capabilitty exists to retrive deleted data from an iPhone, but like many things in life it is not 100% successful all the time. Be careful, there are a lot of scam artists out there. They take your money & retrive nothing. This guy is one of the best in the business, but he does not work for people in the private sector. Perhaps he can recommend a service to you. But, as already pointed out, you're looking at thousands of dollars out of pocket whether these folks are successful or not:

I have turned keychain 'on' on both my ipad and iphone 5. The instructions that I have read just say follow the on screen instructions, but there are none. What am I doing wrong?

I have turned my keychain 'on' on both my i phone 5 and my ipad. the instructions online say I should just follow the on screen instructions to set this up, but there are none. What I am doing wrong?

Apps downloaded on one should also appear on the other as long as the app in question runs on both iPads and iPhones.
