Address Book on MacBook Pro does not sync with IPad or Iphone

I have a MacBook Pro with OS10.7.4. When I add a new address it does not sync with my IPad or IPhone. However, adding an address on the IPad or IPhone it will appear on the IMac Pro. I have checked to make sure that the Address Book on my IMac is directed to ICloud. I also tried to uncheck the Address Book on ICloud, recheck and restart the computer with no success. What am I missing?

It just started to sync. Forget the question.

Calendar on MacBook Pro does not sync with iPhone 4s

I used Entourage to sync my calendar entries via iTunes for many years and it worked fine. Recently, however, it stopped syncing my information. I switched over to Mail and Calendar, hoping that staying within the Apple family it would resolve the issue. Still, my calendar information is not syncing with my iPhone. I use IOS 10.9 Maverick on my MacBook Pro. My iPhone 4S version is 7.0.4. Any idea why this syncing calendar information is not happening?

I have my iPhone attached via USB cable to my MacBook Pro.
I have been able to successfully sync my calendar now by activating iCloud on my iPhone and via System Preferences on my MacBook Pro after I learned that Maverick does not provide iSync.
However, I have a new problem: The calendar does not "upgrade" (it gets stuck) and I receive a "403" error and it gets stuck in a loop that I have to force quit. I have looked that up in the forum, but wasn't able to solve this issue because the solutions are way to technical and out of my league.
Very disappointed development as removing calendar from iCloud now also deletes all my entries on the Mac.

Why did my iCal entries disappear?. My Mac Book Pro does not sync with iPad 2

How do I restore the entries in my iCal? The entries disappeared and it does not sync in iCloud.

Open System Prerferences > iCloud
Deslect the box next to Calendars then reselect then restart your Mac.
On the iPad tap Settings > iCloud
Toggle Calendars off then back on then reset the iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

4. Select "Sync Books" if it is not selected, and "all books."
5 Click the "Sync" button in the lower right corner.

HT1386 selected itunes on macbook pro will not sync to iPad

selected itunes on macbook pro will not sync to ipad

Might there be an ownership issue --- such as:
Might the tunes that do not sync to the iPad have been purchased using a different Apple ID and password than are either used on the iPad or authorized on the computer's iTunes?
Remember, purchased music is protected. It cannot be indiscriminately shared.

ICal on MacBook Pro does not sync to other devices

I'm lost ... we have an iMac (10.8.3), a MacBookPro (10.7.5) 3 iPads (1/5.1.1 - 2/6.0.2 - Air/7.0.4) and an iPhone (6.1.3) syncing calendars via iCloud. Everything works great EXCEPT when we enter an event in iCal on the MBP .... it does not sync to the other devices. Entries on all other devices sync fine to all others, but not when they're made in iCal on the MBP, these will only show up on the MBP. I've compared settings of the iMac and the MBP and all seems fine. I'm at a loss and have no idea where to look or what to do to resolve this. Is there anyone here who can point me in the right direction? Thank you very much!
P.S.: not sure whether I should post this in this iCloud community or whether I should post it in an iCal community. Sorry.

Open iCal on your MBP and go to iCal>Preferences>General and make sure the Default Calendar is set to an iCloud calendar and not and On My Mac Calendar. If it is set to an iCloud calendar, try adding any missing events from the calendar on your MBP to the calendar on icloud.com. Once all the MBP events are on the calendar on icloud.com, go to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck iCal (Calendar), choose Delete from Mac (they will still be in iCloud), restart your Mac, then go back and check iCal (Calendar) again.
If events added to your MBP still don't sync to iCloud, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac, then go back and sign back in. (This deletes the account and iCloud data from your Mac, but not from iCloud. Your data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

Just converted from MobileMe to iCloud. But now my iCal does not sync with either my iPhone or iCloud. What have I missed?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Is calendar syncing enabled on both the computer and the phone.
Are your calendars in your iCloud group and not in a on my mac group.
only calendars in the iCloud group will sync.

Address book on macbook pro isn't syncing

Hi all,
I just discovered that the Address Book on my MacBook Pro isn't as up-to-date as the one on my iMac. I fairly recently updated to Snow Leopard. Is there something I can do to solve this? I sort of thought that everything was supposed to sync--every Mac and mobileMe.
Thanks so much for any help.

Purchased music on Macbook Pro does not agree with the purchased music on iPad.

I have current versions of all software. And just bought a new iPad. When examining purchased music in iTunes on my MacBook Pro, it is pointing to current purchases over the past few years. But when examining purchases in iTunes on new iPad, it is pointing to very old purchases made several years ago. The purchases to do not agree - they are not in sync. I want them both to be in sync, or at least have both devices point to the current purchase list. Thanks in advance.

My MacBook Pro will not sync contact to my Iphone 5 or my Ipad.

It used to work, but it has stopped. I took the whole mess into an Apple store and they couldn't figure it out either. Any ideas?

Then you may have to try manually resetting the syncservices folder by following Julian Write's post (from https://discussions.apple.com/message/9274781#9274781):
Ok, as you can't reset SyncServices in the "normal" way, you'll have to resort to the "other" way:
Although it's not advised to do so in normal circumstances, you'll need to manually delete the SyncServices folder.
Before doing so, you MUST make a backup of both your Contacts and Calendars:
In Address Book, choose *Export > Address Book Archive...* from the File menu.
In iCal, choose *Back up iCal...* from the File menu.
Then, make a backup of the SyncServices folder located at:
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
By backing everything up first, you don't risk losing anything.
Finally delete the aforementioned SyncServices folder and restart the Mac. This will force Mac OS X to recreate the SyncServices folder, and hopefully fix your problem.
I believe in Snow Leopard you can back up your calendar in File>Export>iCal Archive rather than File>Back up iCal as posted above.

MacBook Pro won't sync with iCloud, although iPhone and iPad are fine.

My MacBook Pro keeps telling me it can't sync with iCloud because my password may be incorrect. I keep re-entering the correct password, but this keeps on happening. iCloud seems to be working fine with iPhone and iPad. Also, there are 2 iCloud accounts showing on my MacBook, but if I try to delete one, it seems to delete both.

Your signature says you have 10.3.x but presumably this can't be correct - could you please make sure it's correct to prevent confusion. 10.7.2 is required for iCloud - your Mac won't be able to sync with pre-Lion systems.
The fact that you have iCloud accounts showing does suggest you have Lion: are they showing in System Preferences>iCloud, or where? You can only enter one there.
Are the two different or the same? You could try deleting both and then starting the setup again from scratch.

Entourage calender not syncing with iPad or iPhone anymore?

Hi there
I've read several posts relating to this issue and everyone talks about iCal and which to use etc. I'm not a MAC user myself but one of my Directors are and he used to sync his Entourage 2008 calender and contacts between his MACBook, iPad and iPhone
At some point it stopped working (he's not sure when exactly but it was before he upgraded to Mavericks) and he asked that I try and resolve it.
I tried a couple of things - registering with iCloud, removing the sync settings in entourage and enabling them again, making sure his Outlook for Mac isnt intefering (he installed it alongside Excel but never used it) and disabling any sync services in his calender app on the MacBook (even though entourage was set as the default calender anyway).
The latter of the bunch I mentioned I did this morning but he isnt here (and neiher is his iPad or iPhone) so I havent been able to test whether its this.
Any suggestions? So far I've concluded from the posts I've read that icloud isnt going to work (and if I remember correctly, neither will Caldev or something) so thats basically what I've removed this morning from the calender app and made it inactive.
Anything else I should do to ensure its not trying to use iCloud but only iCal? Or am I barking up the wrong tree completely?
Let me know!
Regards
Neville

Thanks everyone - not very positive but I was kind of expecting it since I read numerous other posts relating to the same issue.
Just to confirm then...this would affect any type of sync from Entourage to iPhone / iPad (like contacts, etc)? Because thats whats happening here aswell (contacts also not syncing).
Since it cannot be fixed or reverted back to the way things used to be, what does one stand to do now? As per one of the users that also responded here (where its actually affecting their business)...the end user in my case is one of the Directors of the company and travels alot for business - he cant NOT have his calenders, contacts etc sync anymore!
Which software / sync combination can we use and how do I set it up? With that said, how would we merge / migrate his EXTENSIVE mail, calender and contacts database in his Entourage he's built up over the years into the afore queried solution?
So we need to have his MacBook Pro with Mavericks sync all his calender, contact and related items sync with both his iPad and iPhone for when he travels. Mail account / messages not so much of an issue (but he mentioned that when he got an email on either mobile device and he subsequently downloaded or opened the same mail on his MAC, it would be removed from his iPad / iPhone automatically and as far as I know, this isn't happening anymore either).
Your help and insight so far is greatly appreciated.
Regards

TS4083 Email not syncing with iPad and iphone

When I read or delete an email from my iPhone it does not show as read or deleted from my ipad

No, but you can go to your email provider's site and set up forwarding for your current email address to your new one. That would allow not to miss any email while your friends are changing their contact information for you to your new address. I did that with my old ISP POP account when I switched to iCloud email. Just set up forwarding and inform everyone of your new address.
