Contacts sync iMac with iPad

I am trying to sync the contacts of my iMac with the iPad (also with the iPod). It works, but is not sending all the information, for example, if I have some e-mail address in the iMac, I cannot see that in the iPad.
I am looking for the right place to configure it, but I cannot find it.
I have try the sync through iTunes and also MobileMe, but without success.
Any hint?
Thanks

Thank you! Yes, in the iMac for example when the mail is "other" in most of the cases doesn't show in the iPad, but no always. I have a case with two "other" email and both show in both iMac and iPad.
What I cannot understand is that both are the same application, and both running in Apple devices. Why are not syncronizing properly? Doesn't make sense for me.
Most common case is: the contact is syncronized, with the Name, title, company, all the numbers and address, but the emails!
It doesn't affect to anything but the emails. When there are single or doble addresses it works perfeclty well for everything but the email.
Thanks

Sync iMac with IPad

I bought a Mac two years ago with iWorks and GarageBand. Can I load them on my iPad without buying them again?

As Meg has already stated - but I will try to clarify - it would be like trying to install a Windows program onto a Mac - running any Mac OS. It will not work because they are totally different operating systems.

In what way do you want to Sync your S4 with your Mac? Calendars, Contacts, Email? That is all done Online from a service like Gmail, Yahoo, MS Office365/Outlook.com or Apple's iCloud. No more Syncing over a USB gable that I know of. Not even Apple "i" phones and pads do that anymore.

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.

How do I replace address book on iMac with iPad/iPhone contact info?

I've been using my iPad and iPhone to record contact information, and they sync with each other via iCloud. I realize now I should have recording this on the iMac and then syncing with the other devices.
But at this point, I'd like to replace all address book information on my iMac with the iPad/iPhone contact information. What's the best way to do this? I'm concerned that, while trying to sync either device with the iMac, I might somehow do the opposite - replace contact info on the device with address book info from the iMac.
I appreciate any suggestions.

Start by backing up the contacts on your Mac by opening Address Book (Contacts) and going to File>Export>Contacts Archive, save this on your desktop. Then download the app My Contacts Backup to your iPhone and use it to back up your contacts as a vCard attachment to an email. Send this email to yourself. (Note: if you have >500 contacts you'll need to either purchase and use the Pro version, or follow the instructions listed under "Contacts...iCloud.com Contacts" in this guide to dowload them from icloud.com: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4910.)
I'm assuming at this point that you are NOT syncing contacts on your Mac with iCloud. If you are, do not perform the steps in this paragraph. Assuming you are not syncing your Mac contacts with iCloud, open Address Book (Contacts), go to View>Groups, then click on All Contacts. Click on a single contact, then go to Edit>Select All (Command-A) to select all contacts. Now press your delete key to delete them. Your Mac Address Book (Contacts) should now be empty. Now open the My Contacts Backup email on your Mac and double-click the attachment to import the contacts from your iPhone to your Mac Address Book (Contacts).

How do I sync Address Book on my iMac with iPad OS6

I have an iMac with Lion on it that will not take ML. How can I get my contacts to sync between the 2 machines or am I not able to ever do it? I do not understand how I can use iCloud for this or am I stuck with Google contacts until Apple takes that away?

If you're running 10.5.8 as your profile indicates, plug the phone in and look at the info tab for the phone in iTunes. Check the address book sync box.

My iPhone won't sync pictures with iPad and iMac

I have an Imac, an iPad (18 months) and an iphone 4S (2months). All are set up identically with syncing photoes. The Ipad and iMac sync fine, but any pictures I take with the iphone will not sync automatically. Photo stream and sharing is set up on all of them. My husbands iphone is 2 1/2 years old and we have the same problem with that. I am an artist therefore have become dependent on the syncing. Can anyone help

Hei Alfred, I set them all up to do the same thing in settings. Ie, using the same icloud account, switching on the icloud account for photos, my photo stream is on, so is photo sharing. The imac and ipad have functioned well all the time. The iphone is newer. I made sure that the iphone had the same settings for photos as the ipad, but no photos have ever gone automatically into icloud from the iphone. I have always had to do it manually. It is the same with my husbands phone and he has had it much longer. He isn't so computer literate, but I'm beginning to doubt myself now!

Sync Pictures with iPad from Network Storage

Is it possible to sync photos from a network storage area instead of the HD?
If so where can i set the options in iTunes so that I can sync my photos not from my Mac but from a network drive/area?
Thanks

How Do I Sync Photos With iPad Using iTunes?

Since updating to OS X 10.10.3, iTunes 12.1.2.27, and Photos, I cannot sync any photos to any devices. Previously, I would connect a device, choose photo albums in iTunes, and sync. Now, I connect a device and no matter what I choose in the photos tab on iTunes, the number of pictures is 0. Also, it shows iPhoto as the source. How do I correct this so I can get my pictures on my devices again?
Note: I am not going to store my photos in iCloud.
Thank you in advance.
Ted

Pics taken with ipad are not part of the sync process at all.
You import them as you would from any digital camera.

Syncing issues with iPad 2

Here is my setup:
iPAD 2 (64gb, no 3G)
Windows 7 PC
Everytime I connect my iPAD via USB to iTunes, iTunes keeps claiming it can't sync with it. Reinstalled iTunes twice, same result. ITunes wants me to restore my iPad everytime. On the times that I do, when it finishes, it tells me it can't sync, but it opens the iPad summary page. If you click on the checkboxes under the options, every time you check a box, the capacity flops between a 4gb max capacity to a 64gb max capacity.
Is this caused by the fact that USB on a PC can't output the power needed to charge the iPAD? My current theory is that not only can they not charge the ipad, I think it can't power it enough to sync it with iTunes, and may have caused damage to the hard drive.
Has anyone else come across this problem and know of a solution?
Thanks

I have the same ipad 2 configuration and am also using Windows 7, 64 bit. I am having the exact same issue. The interesting thing is that a year ago, when my daughter bought her iPod Touch, *it* had the exact same issue. We went through all the support trees, deleted, hand-deleted registry, reinstalled, etc....EVERYTHING. A couple of times. Nothing helped. We took it to the Genius bar...nothinig. Finally, one guy on the telephone support said that it was a "communication failure" between iTunes and Windows 7. He suggested I try it on Windows XP if I had that lying around anywhere. Turns out, my husband's netbook uses XP and already had a mirror of our iTunes on it. Plugged in her iPod Touch and it worked like it should have all along. Sadly for me, he is away on business and has his netbook with him, so I am out of luck there for now for my iPad.
Another interesting thing is that one of my sons has an old nano (3rd gen) and it works just FINE with Windows 7 and iTunes. It is just the iPod Touch and iPad that seem to be having problems.
What I don't get is why Apple isn't fixing it. I was shocked when I sat here a year later with my new iPad and encountered the exact same problem.

Issues when syncing photos with iPad

It just gets better...iPhoto 11 will not sync with iPad library if it contains old iPhoto 9 pictures. Excellent, a communication device that can longer communicate (Spot the irony). Aperture sync with iPad is OK

I may be doing something wrong... I'm trying to sync my pictures folder, and within it, I have one folder per year, and within them, one folder per month.
When I synch'ed my iPad, all 5,000 photos were in just one album, making it quite impractical to browse through them.
This is my folder structure:
My pictures
\-- 2009
\-- 2009-01
\-- 2009-02
\-- etc
\-- 2010
\-- 2010-01
Is there any way to replicate that into albums in the iPad?
Thanks!!

Aperture 3.0.3 will not sync images with iPad via iTunes correctly

I've read the forums looking for a solution to why my Aperture 3 library will not sync with my iPad when it is connected in iTunes. I have tried creating another Aperture library (which I then fill with a few images) and iTunes is able to see and import images onto my iPad. But when I switch back to my real Aperture library, iTunes can show the folders and projects but the number of photos in the folders and projects is not showing at all (i.e. 0). The sync process just hangs and does not continue from that point.
I've also tried another suggestion about repairing permissions, removing the .aplibrary extention and using a new "dummy" library and then switching back to the original library. Nothing seems to work. It just seems buggy and slow i.e. spinning beach ball. Otherwise (beyond syncing to the iPad) Aperture runs fine, exports, e-mails, adjustments all works fine and quickly.
I have a fast 1TB hard drive WD Caviar Black with 32 MB cache and only 350 Gigs used as the system hard drive. The Aperture library is located on the system disk and the referenced files are on a FW800 external drive.
Anyone having these same issues? I can't seem to figure it out.
I guess the only workaround at this point is to just export the photos I want to sync to my iPad into another folder or into iPhoto and import them that way. But it's rather annoying to have a "professional" application which doesn't seem to work as advertised (if Aperture is indeed the culprit).

Here is what I have found out. iTunes will only sync to the last Aperture 3 library opened, and will only update when you close Aperture 3 and then reopen iTunes. Thats the building shared previews thing I guess.
I am using iPhoto to sync photos to my iPad and iPhone, not Aperture 3. I export from Aperture 3 as original size JPG then bring in the exported photos into iPhoto. That way I can have multiple Aperture 3 Libraries and not have to worry about iTunes finding the wrong stuff. I know it takes out some of the automagic stuff but at least it works. But remember to close both iPhoto and iTunes before you try to sync, then reopen iTunes. I don't resize any of the photos for the device I let iTunes do that for me.
Hope this helps
