Sync iCloud with On My Mac - or merge the two

I have noticed that since upgrading to Lion, ios 5, and switching over from Mobile Me to iCloud, I now have duplicates in my Address Book contacts.  I am assuming it is due to the switch to iCloud.  Previously, I had my Address Book set to sync with Yahoo and Google as well as Mobile Me.  This seemed to keep all 3 accounts in sync.  Now, I have 2 accounts: On My Mac and iCloud.  In Preferences, I have On My Mac set to sync with Google and Yahoo.  Is there any way to keep On My Mac and iCloud in sync?   Is my perception that the change occured when I switched to iCloud accurate?  Am I accurate in observing that all my contacts were, in fact, 3-way syncing prior to iCloud and that now they are not?  Is there any way to get them all syncing again?  And can anyone provide insight as to why this very un-helpful change would have been implemented by Apple?  Thank you!
Is there anyway to just merge iCloud with On My Mac?  On a side note, I'm having similar issues with To Do's aka Reminders in iCal.

    How can I sync icloud to outlook for mac?

    Thanks, I'm confused.  My IT guys say that my contacts and Calendar won't be able to syncronize with My Outlook.  Would it be a better option to not use Outlook at all?
    Yes it would, Outlook for Mac is not very good (and hardly works with iCloud at all) whereas the native applications (Mail, Contacts and Calendars) are excellent, and support iCloud correctly.

  • HT5621 When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

    You cannot merge Apple IDs but you can go to Settings > iCloud and 'Delete Account'.  When prompted to turn off documents and data, choose the only option which is Delete from my iPhone, but on the other prompt for Contacts, Calendars, etc you can choose 'Keep on my iPhone'  Then once the Account is Deleted form the iPhone, log back in with the correct Apple ID and choose Merge when prompted.  This will merge your data from this iPhone with that iCloud account effectively putting your devices on the same account.

  • I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

    You do not merge libraries.
    iDevices sync to one and only one computer.
    If you want a single library, you manually move the content from one library to another... all content will still be associated with the Apple ID it was acquired with.

    How do I sync Icloud with Windows 8.1 and Ipad4?

    Hi gemret, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
    To be able to sync your information across your Apple devices and your Windows computer, you will need the iCloud for Windows 4.0 control panel. Please use the following Apple link for information and download link for the control panel.

  • Sync iCloud with windows contacts

    I am upgrading from MobileMe to iCloud in windows 7, w/ MobileMe I sync with my Windows contacts not with Outlook contacts (I can't stand bloated outlook app).  I don't see this option in iCloud - does this mean Apple is not supporting syncing iCloud with Windows Contacts?  If so I am very disappointed in Apple.
    thanks,
    dan

    You're correct, Outlook is the only supported client for Windows, and I agree with your assesment of Outlook. There is an usupported alternative in eMClient, which does look a lot like Outlook but is simpler and snappier.
    Setup is manual, mail is easy as are contacts and calendars, if you want to try it post back and I'll look for the server address information.

    Hi nprguy,
    It sounds like an earlier version of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software installed on your PC may be conflicting with this installation. 
    I would advise uninstalling both versions of the BlackBerry Desktop Software then reinstalling the latest version.
    The following KB articles should provide more information on the issue.
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" when uninstalling BlackBerry Desktop Manager www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10220
    "Error 1316" InstallShield error is encountered when uninstalling or upgrading the BlackBerry Desktop Software

    Thanks.

    Use Windows System Restore.
    Then choose where you want your stuff, locally in Outlook or online in iCloud.

  • Can you sync Itunes with outlook for mac

    Can you synce Itunes with Outlook fo MAC 2011?

    Not directly. What you do is set Outlook to sync to Apple's databases (Address Book, iCal, etc)  via Outlook's Tools menu -> Sync Services and then you can sync to an IOS device, which is what I presume you mean.
    Regards.

  • HT204150 After upgrading to Windows 8, in my Outlook 2007 Contacts I now have "Contacts in iCloud" and "Contacts from iCloud".   How can I merge the two into one Contacts list.

    After upgrading to Windows, in my Outlook 2007 Contacts I now have "Contacts in iCloud"  plus "Contacts from iCloud".  How can I merge the two to avoid duplication.

    Hi Ingo 2711,
    Thank you for your suggestion.  I backup on itunes. I went to itunes, deleted syncing my contacts, then re-synced them. But the Facetime capability option continues to be there on most (not all, for some curious reason) of my contacts. I am not sure I posed my question correctly.  I want to be able to FT with my family, so don't want to delete the FT capability totally from my iphone and ipad. But I don't want all these other iphone calls from various contacts to ring on my ipad as FT calls.  I want a way to select with whom I have FT capabilities. Any further suggestions? Thanks much, trekpal

  • My iMac cannot sync notes with my iPad or iPhone since the Mavericks update.

    My iMac cannot sync notes with my iPad or iPhone since the Mavericks update.  I get the error message "This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with my [email protected]  Open iCloud preferences to fix this problem."  Help.  I have version 10.9.3 on the iMac, 7.1.1 on iPhone and iPad.  The iPhone & iPad sync notes fine.  But neither gets the changes I put in the iMac.
    I automatically have an email @iCloud.com when that update occured.  Can anyone help me?

    1. Turn the router, iPad and printer off.
    2. Turn on the router and then wait 30 seconds to let it complete its start-up process.
    3. Turn on printer and then wait 30 seconds to let it complete its start-up process.
    4. Turn on your iPad and test print.

  • HT4847 I have an iphone and ipad, how do I merge the two icloud space together

    I have an iphone and ipad, how do I merge the two icloud space together

    Your iCloud account has 5GB space for email, for calendar and contacts syncing, for iWork documents and for iOS backups - all these live on the sever. Both devices access the account; the 5GB space they make use of is the same and is on the server. It's not a case of two spaces, one for each device.
