Contacts from my mac desktop are no longer syncing to my iphone
I have an iPhone 5. I just updated to maverick. Currently have itunes sync set to computer backup (versus cloud). If I enter a new contact on my desktop it is not syncing, nor can I find a way on iTunes to make it happen. Any ideas?
What about the opposite way:
Create a test contact on iCloud, wait a few minutes, do you see it on the Mac?
In Mac's Contacts > Preferences... > Accounts > Is the iCloud account enabled?

My iPad and Mac desktop are no longer syncing calendars
My iPad and Mac desktop have quit syncing calendars. I use Microsoft Office 2011 which I sync to iCal as well. I am having no trouble between Office and iCal...but no recent events are showing up in the iPad calendar. I have tried everything I know....My computer iCloud setting say that my calendars are being synced through iCloud but that is not happening. Everything else that needs to sync is happening. What can I do?

How to transfer app data from one mac to another without using syncing of the iphone?
Right, recently I have tried to change which computer my Iphone syncs with so that my older mac can be sold or disposed of in some profitable form. I have successfully synced all of my music off of one mac onto another via home sharing at which point I connected my phone to my new computer which suggested that the phone needed a software update. Immediately after doing this I realised that my updated Iphone 3GS would no longer sync to my old computer and attempted to sync it just to confirm this- it failed and stated that the iphone could only sync with itunes 10.1 which is a higher spec than that mac can hold. I then feeling doubtful that things would work out tried to carry on as if this problem were absent but I later discovered that I could only transfer the apps that I had synced to my phone to my new mac and all unsynced apps appeared lost because as I stated previously I could not sync with my older mac which contains all of their data. I have consulted the online apple manual for the phone and all it states is the method of transferring purchases in itunes which I tried and is what lead to the copying of my synced apps on to my new mac. What I am asking is is their anyway that I can 'cheat' so to speak at app transfers. I know that somewhere on my old mac the files are stored with the information of the lost apps but I cannot locate them and would not know how to merge them into my newer itunes if I were to copy and paste them to a memory stick (assuming that this is the right method) Other than this is their any other way of downgrading the upgrades of an iphone or somehow tricking itunes into running a higher update than the computer spec? I've tried all I can and this is really annoying- please help!!!!!!
I'm not entirely sure what you're asking... I'll have to look on my Mac at home to see exactly where they are, but you should just be able to copy all the apps from your old machine to thumb drive or over the network and put them in iTunes on the new one, then sync. Right click on one of the apps in your iTunes library and choose Show in Finder. That will point you to where they are.
If you're asking how you can do this and maintain data contained 'within' the apps themselves (high scores, game progress, etc), I don't think there's any way you can do that. -
I currently have 14,181 contacts that are on my computer, which an apple tech was nice enough to show me how to transfer all my contacts from my mac 2 "iCloud " account all though when ever I log into my "iCloud" account from a different web browser it still only shows 13,032. Meanwhile on my mac book pro, the "icloud" contact is still spinning like its trying to update the rest of the missing contacts. I have let the computer run for 2 days straight and still no progress. Is there a limit to how many contacts I store on "iCloud" I have upgraded to the extra 25 gigs per year. If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it, because its also slowing down my mac book pro significantly causing it hard to do any other task on my computer....Any advice or help would be again greatly appreciated.
On the surface, it doesn't sound like you're reaching a limit in the number of contacts you can have.
I would first create a contacts archive (file >> export) for a backup. Then, go to system preferences >> icloud and uncheck contacts. Reboot. Return to those preferences and recheck contacts.
Also, review http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4489 just in case you have some contact cards that are reaching a different limitation. -
How do I get the contacts from my mac to sync with Icloud? I need to back up my phone since I will be receiving a new one tomorrow and the icloud contacts are not the same as the ones on my mac. Help me
OS X Lion. 10.7. Your profile says your running 10.6.8, which is Snow Leopard. You need 10.7 to use iCloud with your Mac.

My iTunes library will no longer sync to my iPhone or iPad, nor will it play from my Mac. My Library is on my external HD. iTunes is correctly looking to the HD as its library. Please help...
Guys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply, then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes. Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day. -
How do I sync my settings from a mac desktop to a mac laptop in LR? It seems you can't in LR only PS and other adobe products?
Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
Only if you're running Snow Leopard and your employer will allow access (different than iPhone/mobile device access, so most likely not), but not needed - keep reading.
Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
No. It was true, but with the v3.0 software that changed - you can now sync your Exchange contacts and calendar over the air, and your Address Book and iCal via iTunes over the docking cable.
What is the best work around for this?
None needed. When you set up the exchange account, and choose to turn on syncing of contacts and calendars, you will be prompted to remove all other data, or keep it on the iPhone. Choose the keep option. Note that in that case, your personal data will not be uploaded to the Exchange server - the iPhone keeps them separate (although you can choose to view them in a merged fashion).
I have this set up on my phone (Exchange calendar along side personal and other calendars from iCal). Same for contacts. Works great. -

HOw do I retrieve my photos from my iCloud that are no longer on my phone after I have restored it?
If you are seeing a cloud icon, they are not actually on your device, just available to download. If you wish to turn this off: Settings app > Videos > Show All Videos [turn OFF]. This is also available in for the Music and iBooks apps.

How do I replicate my software and data my from current Mac desktop to my new Mac laptop?
How do I replicate my software and data my from current Mac desktop to my new Mac laptop?
Connect the two with a Firewire cable: Transferring files between two computers using FireWire. Boot the old computer into Target Disk Mode. Start the new computer normally which should take you to the Setup Assistant if this is the first time you've started it. Use the option in Setup Assistant to transfer data from the old computer.
If this is not the first time you've started the new computer then use Migration Assistant in the Utilities folder to transfer your data.

My 3G unlocked iPhone is not syncing mail or contacts from my mac book pro, using Lion. I am able to get a calendars and music, only. I get the message that I need to reset the password which I have done 3x's on the phone and on the Apple server.
Good to know that, but what can I do to get the mail and contacts downloaded from Icloud onto my Iphone? I am told that the password needs to be reset and I have erased and reset it 3x's already? Should I Restore All Settings or Restore Network Settings or will that result in a situation where I have to have it re-unlocked again? GRACIAS!

Just bought a mac desktop and how do sync my apps to it from iPad?
You connect the iPad to the computer and use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes to put them on the Mac's internal drive. They can't actually be run on a Mac.
