Contacts & Calendars only sync from my work location

My iPhone syncs contacts & Calendar with my PC when my laptop is at my office - when I leave the office it will not sync at all. Any ideas?

Sorry - I have not used chat before - I'll try to be more specific here. I use a laptop for everything - I don't have a desktop computer, so my laptop comes with me back & forth to home, trips, etc. I use MobileMe to sync between my laptop & iPhone. Calendar & Contact entries sync instantly when I am at my office (my laptop is in a docking station, but I don't think that has anything to do with this problem). BUT, when I leave my office, NOTHING will sync. Two examples: 1) If I leave the office for a meeting or lunch and my laptop stays at the office, calendar & contacts won't sync w/ my iPhone. 2) If I go home & have my laptop with me, nothing syncs.
One theory proposed by one of my friends is that the wireless router in our office somehow automatically connected with MobileMe when we first set up my iPhone, and MobleMe will only communicate through that router. If that is true, I don't have a clue how I can change that.
I hope this is a little more descriptive of the issue. Thanx for staying with me on this!

My iCloud is set up and seems to work. However, a newly added contact does not sync from the Macbook to the iphone and iPad. What am I doing wrong?

Apparantly it is, On My Mac contacts don't appear in iCloud, anywhere.
Put all your contacts on all of your devices in iCloud (assuming that's where you want them to be)
Go to www.icloud.com, login and see what you actually have in the account.

HT4759 My calendar wont sync from pc to iphone 4 I've tried everything

my Calendar wont sync from pc to iphone 4 I've spent a lot of time with Apple Support and still not working, We reloaded icloud we've checked only icloud calendar ticked etc., and still no connection. Anyone else had this problem

He can select the pictures and share them with himself, which will put them in his shared album on his computer under pictures and icloud pictures. So they will then be in the shared folder under Pictures<iCloud Photos on his computer.

How do I upload my contacts, calendar and notes from outlook 2007 to my new iPad with retina display

I just cleaned up my outlook 2007 contact files.
I have an iPhone 5, a new iPad with retina display, and a PC, which is where the outlook program is.
I also have an iCloud account
How do I get the contacts, calendar and notes from outlook to any of these devices, so I can have one synced contact file on all three devices?
I'm sure I am not the first one asking about this but I am new to Apple, and loving it.

With your device connected and iTunes open, navigate to the 'info' tab and scroll down. You'll see the option to sync contacts and such from outlook.

Syncing Contacts/Calendar Only

Hello
I just received the new 6 Plus and want to set up as new, instead from back up.
Is there a way to only restore contacts and calendar ? Or do i need to manually reinstall all my contacts and calendar info.
Thank you

If you synced your contacts and calendar to iCloud you can set up your new phone as new and then go to Settings > iCloud and turn on Contacts and Calendars to sync.
If you synced them to your computer via iTunes, the following may help: iTunes 11 for Windows: Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad
If you only have a backup to iTunes or iCloud, the restore from those backups is all or nothing.

HT204150 since moving from mobileme to icloud my calendar and contacts do not sync from my iphone: what should I do

my calendars and contacts do not sync since moving from mobile me to icloud. what should i do

After that if I go to my calendar on my macair to try and sync to my Imac, by clicking the sync button on the top bar (like I used to with mobile me) I get a drop down menu that says
1.Time Machine not configured (in shading)
2. Browse other backup discs (in bold)
3.Open Time Machine preferences (in bold)
That's where you're going wrong. Firstly the syncing method that MobileMe used, which places the icon in the menu bar, is quite different from the iCloud method and is irrelevant. Secondly, you're confusing the Time Machine icon with it.
On this Mac you need to set up in System Preferences>iCloud in the same way, then the syncing is automatic. In iCal on both machines you should see in the Calendar list your calendars listed unrer 'iCloud', and your calendars should be visible at http://icloud.com (and choose Calendar in the welcome screen).
If they aren't visible online, go to http://me.com/calendar - you should not be able to see them there. If you can, you haven't migrated.

Is it possible to sync to/from two computers but only sync from a third (no upload to third/work computer, but download from it)?

Is this possible:
Two directional sync (to/from) of history, bookmarks, etc on two computers and only unidirectional sync (from only, not to) on a third? I have sync set up on my work computer and I like knowing my work history when at home or on my laptop, but I don't want all of my home history being sent to the work computer. Is there a way to have a two directional sync between 2 computers but only send history from, but not to, a third computer?
As it stands now, if someone at work would get on my history it would look like I have been looking up flights and buying things on the internet at work, but I only do that at home.
Thanks.

As far as I know, you can only access the iTunes store of the country you are currently in.

IPhone Contacts & Calendars not syncing with mobileme

Apologies if there is a solution to this posted already, I can't find it despite extensive searching!
My iPhone Calendars & Contacts do not sync with MobileMe. I can't find a way of exporting or saving the data on the iPhone and importing it into my desktop iCal & Contacts apps.
I have looked at all troubleshooting help I can find, and all is suggested is deleting/ resetting the phone & syncing from MobileMe. However, if I do this I will lose lots of contacts & calendar entries.
The data will NOT sync from my phone despite following all available instructions. My desktop apps are all set to sync with MobileMe & this works fine, it's just the iPhone data will not transfer to MobileMe.
Please help!!

Since you are syncing your iPhone with your Mac, it should be syncing your contacts and calendars with your Mac as well (and your bookmarks if you have it set up to sync). You should have Mobile Me setup on your Mac to at least sync your Calendars and Contacts, which should be updating your Mobile Me account. If you want to check to make sure that all of your contacts that are on your iPhone are on your Mac, simply open up the Contacts App. Once you check this, add your Mobile Me account to your iPhone and let it sync your contacts and calendars, it will delete all the contacts and calendars that are currently on your iPhone, but the same data is on your Mac anyways. Once Mobile Me syncs with your iPhone you won't have to worry about it anymore.
If you are having problems where you already setup your Mobile Me account on your iPhone and it's not syncing properly, deleted it, restart your iPhone, then add it again.
Does this help?

Contacts won't sync from iPhone to Mac Air

I have had an iPhone 5C for the past year with iOS 7.1.2 (the most recent iOS).
I recently purchased a MacBook Air with OS X version 10.9.4.
My issue is that none of my newly created contacts will sync with my Mac's contacts. Every time I go to iTunes to sync my contacts it says my contacts are automatically synced over iCloud, which isn't a problem for me, except it doesn't work... I've checked my iCloud settings. My contacts from all my accounts are supposed to be synced, and yet I am missing about 70 contacts from my Mac contacts. I also tried to turn off Contact sync, and then see no way to manually sync my contacts.
I use both my mac and phone to message people frequently, and its irritating and confusing when I have no idea who I am messaging on my Mac. Does anyone know where I need to start to fix this problem?

Hello samaras,
if you turned on iCloud Contacts Sync, then you shouldn't use iTunes for syncing your contacts between your devices.
Please make sure that your (the same) iCloud account is set up on all your devices:
iOS: Settings > iCloud > Contacts has to be turned on
Mac: System Preferences > iCloud > Contacts has to be turned on
BTW: Make sure that you saved your contacts in the iCloud section of your address book and not only locally.
For more information regarding setting up iCloud on your devices please see also the following website: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

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.

Share contacts + calendar ONLY?

Is there any way to share ONLY my iCloud contacts and calendar with another person? Do they need their own iCloud account for this?
Hired my first employee and bought her a Mac Mini. I do all my work on my iMac, iPhone and iPad. I want to give her access to my iCloud Contacts and Calendar so she can enter appointments, tasks and contacts on the Mini and they'll populate on my iMac and my iPhone. And vice-versa -- I'd like to be able to assign appointments or tasks to her Calendar.
She does not have an iCloud account. Would she need one? I noticed in System Preferences > Users & Groups that you can associate an Apple ID with a user profile, but I'm not sure if that's the same as an iCloud account?
It seems if I input my iCloud credentials on the Mini via System Preferences > iCloud, it would also add my mail account to Mail, which I don't want to do since she has her own email address she's using (company domain).
Slightly confused on the best way to do this without tripping over my own ignorance.

If she created her own iCloud account by going to System Preferences>iCloud on her Mac and signing in with her Apple ID, you could privately share your calendars with each other with read and write access as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a9479.
Contacts would be more difficult to share. To access your contacts, she would need to sign into your account and enable contact syncing. However, when she does this, her conacts would be merged with yours. A better solution would probably be to create a Gmail account, import your contacts to the account, and have her add the Gmail account to her Mac and enable contact syncing. This would isolate just the contacts and would not merge hers with yours. If you want to do this, you would need to download your iCloud contacts as a vCard (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606), import the vCard to Gmail (https://support.google.com/mail/answer/183711?hl=en), then add the Gmail account to her Mac in System Preferences>Internet Accounts (Mail,Contacts,Calendars)>Add Account>Google, then check Contacts.

Calendar only syncs after aug. 15th

My iphone has suddenly stopped syncing any of my icloud calenders prior to August 15th 2012. I tried deleting the icloud account and re adding, and tried deleting and adding the events and nothing before August 15th, 2012 will sync. The only calender that will sync prior to the date is the "Birthday" calendar. So weird right? It used to work fine. Any ideas???

Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...scroll down to the Calendars section and tap Sync. Here set it to a longer time period (it's probably only set to Events 1 Month Back now).
