Playlists are not syncing between Mac and iPhone

I have enables iCloud sync and sync over Wifi betweem my Mac and iPhone. But the sync is not working, and new playlists and edited playlists on the MAc are not showing up on iPhone. Also, such playlists that show up on the iPhone are not updating.

Contacts are not syncing between my Mac, iPhone, and iPad
On both the iPad and iPhone, tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Contacts off then back on then reset.
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.
On your Mac, open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Contacts then reselect that box then restart your Mac.

HT1296 I'm having difficulty syncing my iCal between my home computer and iPhone. New entries from my home are not syncing with the phone and vice-versa. I didn't have any problems with this before until the latest phone update. Any suggestions?

It could be that the existing wire in your appartment is not clean enough to provision DSL only. When combined with the phone possibly it has a higher line voltage and worked before. Now that the line is to be provisioned without phone service it may be giving them trouble that did not show before they came out and ran the new line test. So a new jack dedecated for your DSL line may require a new wire be run to your appartment. Also the account for internet only used to require direct billing to a credit card or something else. This was a number of years ago. Most accounts are linked to a phone number, and without a voice number it adds to the confusion.
If you are getting the voice and everything turned on as before, then I am at a loss for words.

Contacts are not syncing from Mac to iPhone

iCloud Contacts are not syncing if created on my macbook. But if created on iOS they sync. Have no clue on this one.

It took me awhile to figure out what is actually happening here, even though it seems obvious now. Unfortunately I can find no way to do what I need.
On MacBook Pro Contacts, over on left page, at top left it says "All Contacts", under that "On my Mac", under that ""iCloud". I have figured out that "On My Mac" contacts are separate from "iCloud" contacts (seems obvious). The contacts in "iCould" are the only ones which sync with your iOS devices.
Unfortunately, when I add contacts through Mail (my usual procedure), they are only added to the "On My Mac" set. I can find no way to have them automatically add to the "iCloud" set of contacts instead of the "On My Mac" set. I cannot figure out how to get these contacts in the "On My Mac" set to sync to iCloud without some very fancy and complicated exporting, deleting, importing ALL contacts, and it is a lot easier just to type the contact info into a new card in the "iCloud" contact set.
Does anyone know of some setting to allow me to use iCloud exclusivly? That's why I want iCloud and Mac, to work together.

Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro

Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars
are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro.
I used to use iTunes but don't see the options now.
Does anyone know how to set up a sync.?

I have temporarily solved the sync problem by using an older MBAir running snow leopard, I exported
both calendar and contacts and imported them in the MBA and synced normally.
Since I'm not about to send my data on the cloud, or setup a server to just sync my iphone,
I think this is a good workaround ! BTW I stopped updating my contacts and calendar on the MB, I only
update the iphone until a permanent solution is found !
And they better come up with one soon, because I'll just switch to an Android phone and Ubuntu linux for my MBP, Apple should make our lives easier, not harder !
I'm sure Samsung is having a ball ever since the sync issue was made public !
Hopefully Apple is listening and will make things right again !

Notes does not sync between iPhone 6 plus and iPad Air

The Notes app does not sync between iPhone 6 plus and iPad Air. These used to sync before when I had an iPhone 4. I have been trying to troubleshoot this for about an hour now, so all the basics such as deciding on a default Notes account, to turning on and off iCloud functions for both devices, as well as signing out of of my apple account on both devices, then back in. Nothing seems to be working - is this a fault in the current iOs?? It's driving me nuts.

You can't pair iOS devices.
that's not how continuity works.

Got a new iPhone. However google contacts are not syncing. I have added the gmail account , email seems to work fine. just that contacts do not get synced

I have followed the steps mentioned in the existing discussions
A data point. I have my contacts synced to my iPad as we'll
I have tried removing contacts from iPad but it still doesn't seem to solve the Ossis

Something must be wrong on Google's servers. I have two accounts on my phone, one work and personal and for both accounts the contacts stopped syncing and actaully disappeared from my phone. The email and calendar appear to still by suncing, but contacts are not.
It was working fine a day or two ago and just stopped.
I also tried setting it up just using carddav. Settigns>Mail>Other>Card Dav and entering google.com for ther server. It won't sync and this always worked before.

My contacts are not syncing from computer to iphone

My contacts are not syncing from my iPhone to Outlook on my pc

For some reasson my contacts that I enter on my iPhone stopped syncing to Outlook on my PC at home. Can anyone help me with solving this?
Thank you.

Just to confirm, if you go to https://www.icloud.com/ and sign in with your appleID and password, do you see all of your iphone contacts in the icloud? Also, on your iphone settings, under iCloud you have iCloud setup to synch your 'contacts' set to 'on'? Make sure you are running the latest apple iOS too under General/Software Update (5.0.1). If you use iTunes to synch info with your phone, I would disable 'synch contacts with outlook' as it's not required any longer. When your phone is plugged into the PC, you will notice that setting by clicking on your phone under 'devices' on left and then going to the 'info' tab at the top, first setting.
I have Outlook 2007, in the left sidepane, you should see a "contacts" button, select it. Up at the top on the left side you should see "My Contacts" where your old outlook contacts are stored (the default contacts) and now below that you should see "contacts in iCloud" where your iphone contacts were synched to Outlook. Additionally, from the menu you can select Tools/Address Book.. There you should see all your contacts in the various address books. There is a drop down where you can select a particular address book, such as "iCloud" or the default "Contacts". These are two seperate address books, only one is synched to your phone/icloud.
Hope this helps.. frustrating these issues can become.

Contacts are not syncing to MobileMe, iPod or laptop

Tried syncing after the MobileMe switch, and my calendars and bookmarks updated fine, but my contacts did not. I could not get new and modified contacts from my MacPro to my MacBook or my iPod Touch, even after trying numerous times.
I tried resetting the data on MobileMe from my MacPro using "Reset Sync Data" from the Advanced option on the Sync tab in System Prefs, to no avail.
I then tried unregistering all computers, deleting the information for MobileMe, and resetting the Sync History in iSync itself, and starting from scratch and still nothing.
I have 314 cards in my Address book on my desktop but no matter how many times and what I've tried on syncing MobileMe, this is still what I see when I go to /contacts on www.me.com:
"You have no contacts.
Click the 'New Contact' button in the toolbar or turn on Push on your iPhone or iPod touch and Sync on your Mac or PC. Learn more…"
Even more frustrating is now that I've reset everything to try to force the sync data to reset, my contacts are only on my MacPro, and not on my iPod or laptop at all anymore where I really need them.
(And now I notice that MobileMe is not updating changes I've made in iCal on the MacPro.)
Any help will prevent me from going insane, destroying property and injuring myself or others. Thanks!
(P.S.: Sync has always been a little flaky, so I'm posting this here as well as in the MobileMe forums in case it has to do with iSync and my system instead of MobileMe.)

Where is my address book - cannot access contacts - unable to sync address book from .mac to mobile me - are they all lost??????? I understand "they" are working on this? when will I have access to my contacts, etc? VERY FRUSTRATING - I have not memorized my contacts!!!!!!!
