Adress Book doesn't sync between iphone and MacBook

If I make changes or new contacts in my adressbook on the iphone 3G the information is being pushed to the mobileMe web adressbook but there is no sync to my adressbook on the MacBookPro.
Any idea what I should do to solve this problem?

It's still not pushing or syncing anything between mobileMe and iCal. Changes I make in iCal don't appear in my mobileMe calendar and changes made to mobileMe Caledar do not sync to iCal. Not in 15 minutes and not in 15 hours.
Any idea how to fix that.

Calendar Entry Sync between iPhone and MacBook

when I delete a calendar entry on my iPhone, it does not get reflected on my calendar on MacBook.
What's up with that?
How can I sync them automatically back and forth? (i.e. if I make a change on one it gets synced and reflected on the other)
I thought this was the whole point of iCloud instead of syncing.

Welcome to the Apple community.
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.

How to sync between iPhone and iPad at Podcasts app?

Please elaborate - share what?
Just guessing here...
Any sharing is probably a result of being logged in with the same Apple ID on both devices.
For apps/music: Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads OFF.
For iCloud: Settings > iCloud > Delete Account.
For iMessage: Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.

How is it best to keep files synced between iMac and Macbook? I work from home on my iMac and then out in meetings on my Macbook and need to have access to the same files on both.

How is it best to keep files synced between iMac and Macbook? I work from home on my iMac and then out in meetings on my Macbook and need to have access to the same files on both. The folders are using Microsoft programmes as this is compatiable with 90% of my colleagues, therefore I can't use the Icloud service.

No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

Pages won't sync between iPad and Macbook

I cannot get my pages to sync between iPad and Macbook.
I regularly go back and forth between the two because it's easier to read/edit on iPad and easier to type/copy-paste web info on Macbook.
I'm finding right now that I have done a multitude of edits on my iPad that are not showing up at all when I open the same document on my Macbook.
I have closed the document on my iPad so I expected there to be no problems when I opened it on my Macbook.
Not sure why or what to do....?

I had this issue too - I have been playing around with it for a few days - turns out you need to save the documents on your mac not under "documents" but rather under "Pages - iCloud" (or "Keynote - iCloud" etc.). After doing this, the document appears on my phone, iPad, iCloud.com etc. with the changes.
One way to do this is by clicking the dropdown arrow (it shows up when you mouse over the title) to the right of the title of your document on the grey title bar (the thing at the top of the page - above insert, table, chart etc.) and then editing the "where" column.
Hope this helps! If it isn't clear enough, please let me know!

The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is back in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6 to access the App Store. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

Documents not syncing between iPhone and iPad

I am encountering the most strange difficulty with iCloud, particularly Documents in the Cloud and the syncing of Numbers and Pages documents between iPad and iPhone. I do not use Keynote.
I will try and describe the problem in as much detail as possible and explain everything I have tried to do.
My goal is for documents I create on iPad to sync to iPhone, and vice versa, with changes appearing on both, and on iCloud.com. To clarify I'm not involving the Mac in anyway, I am aware this is a current limitation of Documents in the Cloud. Unless I'm missing something, what I want to do is what is advertised.
- I am running the latest version of iOS on both iPad and iPhone.
- I have the latest versions of Keynote and Pages on both.
- I am logged in to iCloud on both iPad and iPhone with the same account
- iCloud is working fine for all other purposes (Bookmark sync, PhotoStream etc)
- Documents and Data is switched on, as is the option for Using Cellular Data
- Use iCloud is set to ON under Pages and Keynote preferences
- The arrow indicating a cloud document is on every document on both iPad and iPhone's icon, in the top right of each icon
- In iCloud -> Storage & Backup -> Manage Storage -> Documents & Data -> Numbers it displays all the expected documents.
The current behaviour appears to be that I create a document on either device, and the document is PARTIALLY uploaded to iCloud. That is, it appears on iCloud.com under iWork, but when I click on any file it either says "Upload failed" or "Waiting" for each file.
If I try and delete a document on iWork.com, it crashes the web app and does not delete the documents.
Things I have tried to resolve:
- Uninstalling and reinstalling Numbers and Pages on both devices
- Soft resetting both devices
- Disabling and re enabling Documents in the Cloud on both devices
- Disabling and re enabling iCloud toggle in the individual app preferences on both devices
- Deleting and readding iCloud account on both devices
- A full restore then restoring from iCloud backup on both devices (yes, I actually did that)
- A combination of the above in various sequence orders, none of which made any difference
More information... one solution on the web pointed to the problem involving a duplicate account which could be deleted from the Mail settings, however I only have one configured account - my iCloud account. Just in case it matters, my iCloud email is an @mac.com address.
I think I have covered everything. Any help would be appreciated since Apple themselves seemed pretty stumped on the phone, suggesting another restore, or setting the phone and iPad up as brand new devices. I'd really rather not until I've exhausted every possible outcome.
Any help massively appreciated!!!

How did you get this fixed? I have the same issue!!

Syncing contacts, notes and tasks between iphone and Macbook

I have an iphone 4 and a brand new MacBook Pro and I understand how to sync contacts between the two and with my gmail contacts, however there are still some contacts on my phone that are not on my MacBook. I would like to know how I can keep my contacts up to date on both my iphone and Macbook without having to manually enter contacts from one to the other, ex: if I delete a contact on my phone, I want it to be deleted on my Macbook too. Is there a way to do this? Also is there a way to do the same thing with notes and tasks; between the iphone and macbook???

You can sync via itunes or sync via icloud
iPhone User Guide (For iOS 6 Software)

ICloud does not sync with iPhone and MacBook for iCal and address book.

I have installed the upgraded software to both devices. Email syncs fine.

Thanks for the visual! on my iPhone under Accounts it has my email like your line 2 above with the secondary line 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars and 7 more...'. In the Setings menu under General I have iCloud that has all the buttons turned on for Mail Contacts, Calendars. On my MacBook in System Preferences for Internet and Wireless, Mail, Contacts and Calendars is the iCloud account. There is also iCloud in the same folder as the blue @ sign.
I should explain that I had two mobileme accounts on these devices before switching to iCloud. The first email was a 'family' email noend_er and it was the initial email that I set up iTunes with many years ago then a couple of years ago I set up my own email account with my iPhone and MacBook. I have an Apple guru friend who helped me create my own iTunes on my MacBook and iPhone using my own email account. We cleaned up, to the best, of our knowledge the inconsistency with the two accounts.

Pages and Numbers not sync between ipad and macbook pro. icloud problem?

My Pages and Numbers are stopped synchronizing via icloud between ipad and macbook pro. Everytime I edit something to Pages or Numbers on my ipad, my ipad failed to upload the edited version to icloud. what happened?

I have a slightly different problem with Numbers and Pages failing to sync between a Macbook and iPad via iCloud. I have checked all the obvious settings. I think the problem may be that the Macbook username is my email address, whereas the iPad username is my wife's email address. However, both addresses are named alibis for exactly the same email address from our internet provider – eg we get the same emails, despite appearing to have different addresses. So I don't understand why the iPad cannot pick up Numbers or Pages files that have been opened and saved in iCloud on my Macbook. Other apps, such as iCal, sync perfectly, but i guess they don't use iCloud. Any help appreciated!
(We have tried emailing Numbers files to the iPad, but that is very slow and innefective.)

ICloud doesn't sync between mac and iPhone...

Hello all. I have an iphone 4 and I macbook pro which I have just upgraded the OS to OSX Mountain lion.
I have never really made use of icloud before, but intend to start using it as I intend to get an ipad soon.
I have gone into icloud on both my mac and iphone and ticked on everything for icloud. However,nothing seems to really sync. My notes don't go between devices. As far as I can tell neither do my photos.
The only large file on my icloud seems to be backups. However, the only thing in this folder seems to be the back up folder...which only seems to contain infinitiy blade data.
Any help as to where I'm going wrong?
regards,
Matt

I don't want to trust the iCloud, so I want to sync my PERSONAL Notes on my iPhone (4) just with my iMAC (via iTunes), and not saved in iCloud.
Yes iCloud is great for syncing/saving common data, but I want to choose what I sync and if I choose not to save in icloud than I want to have the possibility to save it elsewhere.
Now with Mountain Lion it is not possible anymore to sync between my iPhone and iMac
More and more companies are going to say/dictate "This and this is good for you!"
Please Apple, take your Customers serious and let themselve choose what good for them is!
Thanks in advance!!
P.S.,
if there Apple-Customers who have a solution for syncing Notes between MountainLion and iOS please reply! (Thanks)

Will iBooks sync between iPhone and iPad with non-iCloud Apple ID?

I have two Apple IDs. One is an email address that I've used for all my iTunes purchases. The other is a .Mac account that I've had for I think ten years. The .Mac account has, of course, been converted to an iCloud account. I got an iPad recently and have bought some books from the iBooks store using my non-iCloud Apple ID. I have books on both my iPad and iPhone and have Sync Bookmarks and Sync Collections enabled on both devices. Both devices are connected to my iCloud account. But the two devices don't sync. Is this because my purchases were made with my non-iCloud account? Is there any way to get them to sync?

I don't think you are missing anything...
On the iOS devices tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Photo Stream off then back on then reset the devices.
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.
See if your photos sync now between the PC, iPad, and iPhone.

TS3999 Calendars don't sync between Iphone and Ipad.

When a calendar entry is added from my wife's phone to mine there is no entry, but it's on my mini-pad instead. Why is it on one device and not the other? I have chosen sync and all events in settings , but is still doesn't work for both devices, only the min-pad. I can add an event manually, but can't receive any notifications on the calendar if its sent to my Iphone. Please advise, thanks.

It requires that you set up the same iCloud account on all your devices (Settings > iCloud) or at least that you share some of the calendars between you and your wife (in case that you are using two separate iCloud accounts which is by the way recommended).
