Cannot sync my Address Book to Contacts

I cannot sync my Address Book to my .Mac. I always get this message
"Invalid response received from .Mac. Could not complete synchronization - please try again later". My password and account info is correct and I have followed the instructions for sycing with .mac account...Please help!

Thank you again for your help.  I probably was not as clear in my answer as I should have been.  I did follow the instructions in the linked article, even though it was for the iPhone.  Since I do not have a Windows Hotmail account, I could not use that guidance.  I will just type in the addresses I need as I need them when using the iPad device.  It would be much simpler if I could have just synced them directly to the device.
Thank you.

  • Ihone 4 and itunes 10.0.1 cannot sync only address book

    Having no problem syncing calenders , mail and gallery . The only problem is the address book . I have mobile me and when I try syncing in itunes the address book just loads . Itunes also says my phones has been disconnected so it couldn't sync but my phone is connected . I went to the nearest apple store here in Japan and the genius couldn't figure out what was wrong . Has there been any newer updates for this bug ? Another question is how do I use photo profile from social networks (facebook) onto my apple address book .

    Good to hear things are working better for you, however I haven't noticed any change myself, my syncs have always been relatively quick.

  • When will Apple restore my ability to sync "my"Address book and contacts to "my" Mac not the cloud ?

    I asked this question before but Apple deleted it. . . Hmm. . .
    freedom of speech?

    They may not. This facility was included with 10.8 and below only and I believe was called Sync Services, pls see here for the number of people irritated by this omission and for a possible workaround.
    Please post feedback here too.

  • HT1351 My fifth generation nano will no longer sync my address book from my Mac. It gives me an error message that "You have no contacts" and asks me if I want to create some.  My address book is full of contacts. Sync works for everything else.

    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.

  • Sync of address book/contacts not "taking"

    I watched the tutorial on how to sync my address book on my laptop with the iMac contacts. Then I followed the instructions today (8/12/07), and I seemed to have synced successfully. However, when I login to iMac and open the address book, I still get the message "Last synchronized on 07/08/2007 at 10:55 AM" and the data is NOT synced. I've gotten no error message to indicate that I didn't sync properly, so why is the data not updated?
    Thanks so much for any help you can provide!

    The simplest way to do that would be to create a group in Contacts that has just the ones you want and only sync that group to your iPhone.

  • Palm contacts do not sync with address book

    Contact data from my Palm Tungsten does not sync with Address Book. I am running the latest Palm OS and Desktop with iSync 1.5 and Panther OS 10.3.9. Calendar is syncing correctly. According to the log, iSync thinks that the Address Book is also working but no data gets transferred in either directon. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Hi,
    i also used iSync for a long time with my Tungsten. BUT(!) iSync is very poor! I learned to know MissingSync and this is a really cool App! Now i have categories in my calender after syncing with my Titanium, i have all adresses and there are a lot of more cool features. Look here:

  • I have an iphone 4S with broken wifi (!) and I need to sync my contacts before I set up my new iphone 6. I thought contacts synced automatically with itunes but seems not.  I've found my Apple address book but contacts are outdated. What to do? Help!

    I have an iphone 4S with broken wif i :-( and I need to sync my contacts before I set up my new iphone 6. I thought contacts synced automatically with itunes but seems not.  I've found my Apple address book but contacts are outdated. What to do? Help!

    If your Bluetooth is working, you may be able to tether your phone to another device, and backup that way.  Either via iCloud or one of many Apps that send yourself a VCF file containing your contacts.
    You may have to update to a later IOS via USB and iTunes, not sure if IOS 6 has Bluetooth Tethering.
    I would have thought you could also switch off cloud sync'ing for your contacts, this should ask a question if you want to keep the contacts on your phone.  An iTunes Backup and then Restore to your new iPhone should restore the local contacts.  Then sync these back to the iCloud.
    Hope this helps.

  • My phone contacts don't sync with Address Book now that I have "Lion"! PLEASE HELP!

    Hello!
    I have a Macbook Pro and have recently downloed Lion .... after having done this, my contacts no longer sync with Address Book. My calendar syncs with the iCAL but my contacts don't sync. I don't have iCloud set up and am not sure if that makes a difference, but any help would be GREAT!
    Thanks!

    The link provided did not contain a solution for me. However, based on what I read there, I was able to figure out the solution on my own.
    Here it is. If you have a Motorola razr. Sorry I don't know which version of the phone or software I have. Go to phonebook. Choose the options by selecting the center menu key. Scroll through the list until you find Share Phonebook Entry. It is not in alphabetical order and may be the last entry. Select it and on the next screen choose bluetooth. The next screen is object exchange. If your computer appears as an option choose it, otherwise chose Look for device and when your computer comes up, select it. The phone will then send a card to your computer. Your computer will ask if you wanted to accept the card. There is also a box that gives you the option to select all. Check select all and then choose accept or hit return if accept is already highlighted in blue. The phone card will be saved to your computer in a default save location. You will next be given an option to see where the card is, in case you don't remember where your default location is. If you choose it, a window will appear showing you where the card is.
    Next run isync and your data should be synchronized. Many duplicate entries will be somewhat altered in your computer's address book, i.e. first and last name will be combined and put in the first name box and so will not be recognized as duplicates. This is just part of the idiosyncrasies of the process. Manually go through and delete these.
    This worked for me and I hope it is helpful to someone else out there having the same problem.
    Thank you for the link Julian and others.

  • HT1692 Have recently installed itunes and outlook on a new computer.  Have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, Help!

    My new computer is 64-bit running Windows 7 pro, SP1 and Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus 32-bit
    My phone is a 4S runing iOS 6.1.3
    Very frustrated now that I have recently installed itunes and outlook on this new computer.  Everything worked perfectly ok on my laptop which was also 64-bit Windows 7 and running 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Pro.  I have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, when I sync the calendar and contacts are empty.  Not sure if there is any way to point itunes to particular address books and calendars.
    I have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times and thank goodness have a backup
    Can anyone help please?
    thanks in anticipation

    I had my home computer set up to sync to work's Exchange server. It worked well, but I didn't like seeing work email messages and other programs trying to sync with my default Outlook folder, which was then the Exchange (& work related) .ost file. I know there are various ways to manage those problems using filters, view, subfolders, etc., but it was a hassle for me. I think it could work well for many other folks.
    For now, I have published my work calendar and subscribed to that calendar on my home computer. So I have view only access to my calendar on my home computer (and I can add/edit calendar items on my iPad (or Outlook Web Access) when away from work). This is not quite what I wanted, but it may work.
    It almost makes me long for the days when I used my Windows Mobile Treo to sync back and forth between exchange at work and outlook at home (but had many sync conflicts as a result).

  • IPhone Won't Sync With Address Book

    I am asking this question for a friend who lives abroad. They have an iPhone which has been set up at work to sync with Outlook over the air. He wants to share some of those contacts with his wife who syncs using iTunes. I suggested to him that he syncs via iTunes to Address Book, makes two Groups in Address Book, one each, and drag the desired contacts to each Group then sync the phone again. She can then select the group she wants to use in the Contacts app. However, no matter what he does he cannot get the contacts on his phone to sync with Address Book. I think he may need to make a new account and populate it with contacts from Outlook, could anyone give me advice as to whether this is the right method?
    They are using iPhone4's running iOS5 and Lion 10.7.2
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    It's a limitation of ActiveSync & the way virtually every employer wants it. Fact is, you cannot sync contacts from a work exchange account with a supported contact application on your computer.

    I updated my mac with  os x Lion so that I could accomplish moving my address book from the mac to my new IPad 3G. I also set up an icloud account for this purpose, but I *still* cannot figure out how to move my address book from one computer to the other. When I'm on my mac and try to use bluetooth to export the address book, I'm able to find my ipad but I soon get a message that it does not support the necessary services. I have no idea what's going on and would appreciate any advice. tks in advance, Sarah
    The address book syncs via iCloud, not Bluetooth or iTunes.
    You upgraded to Lion so you could use iCoud.
    On the computer. go to Apple menu > System prefs > iCloud.
    Sign into your iCloud account.
    Tick everything.
    This enalbes the se items syncing to iCloud.
    On the iPad, Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Create a new iCloud account.
    Sign in with the same AppleID as your computer.
    Settings > iCloud and turn everything on.
    BAM!
    That is all you need to do.
    Your contacts (and all other checked items checked) will sync between computer and iPad.
    No need to use iTunes

  • Syncing Multiple address books

    What is the best way to merge my contact list's between Mac address book, yahoo contacts, New iPhone and Microsoft outlook for Mac?
    I have multiple duplicate contacts and i want to start with one and then Sync the others.
    What is the best way to do this?
    Thank you for any help you may have.

    Make sync step by step. As I cannot reproduce what you say, I would first sync Address Book and iPhone, which is simple.
    Then, search for how doing this with Outlook and Yahoo. Do this in another account (create a new one) and, if satisfied, export data and merge them with the account already synced with iPhone. For every step keep a copy of database (export feature) and, when ready and satisfied, you are done.

  • Blackberry desktop manager 5.0 won't sync windows address book/mail

    Hi,
    before I upgrade my laptop to win7 64 bit with DM 5.0, I had Vista 64 bit with DM 5.0 and I was able to sync windows address book.
    Now on my win7, I can't select it anymore. I install the same software what I use on vista to win7. I use a blackberry tour, OS 4.7.
    Like the picture see here : http://images.crackberry.com/files/u7860/Outlook_Sync_Selection.jpg
    you can see that you can select windows address book/mail.
    I try on win7, to install the latest DM, but still can't check windows address book/mail. I uninstall it, reinstall DM 5.0, also no luck. I remove intelisync, try again, still no luck.
    Any idea how to get the it to sync with windows address book/mail ?
    Thanks
