Gmail contacts & calender synced with IP5 not showing in icloud

I synced my iPhone 5 with my gmail contacts and calender.  They show on the phone. I have icloud set up but they are not showing there.  Gmail groups are not showing up either.  What do I need to do?

Then let me ask you this.  I use these devices, iMac, and new to iPhone5 for personal use.  My email is from a pop server where we have our internet access.  I surf on the phone and primarily listen to books on audible, sometimes sending emails.  It sounds as if I already have gmail contacts & calender set to sync with the phone (not the email portion of gmail) that I rellly don't need icloud.  Does that sound right to you?  If this is the case, is there no way then to set up contact groups from gmail to the phone, except doing so manually?  As I write this though, is it worth it to get everything set up on icloud vs staying with gmail based info?

  • Contacts in address book do not show in iCloud

    I have set up the iCloud and got Calendar working fine. Contacts don't. When I merge contacts from iCloud they don't upload and disappear from my Address Book in my iMac ( I have a back up so I ca restore them....). I tried several times but no result. They are fine in my iPhone, though.
    Anybody can help?
    Thanks!

    I ask this because I presume that my Macbook Address book is the master of all, and if I add a contact in here for example, it would be pushed to iCloud and then to my iPhone? But when I add contacts or make changes in my Address book on Macbook Pro, these are not appearing in iCloud
    I think you misunderstand the way it works.  First, there are two places on your computer to see the data. 
    1. "On my Mac" that is not synced to iCloud. 
    2. "iCloud" that is a slave to the Master iCloud dataset. It is somewhat similar to IMAP email.
    When importing data, you can choose which place it goes to. The option is a bit obscure, you need to point to the icon to produce the alternative location ("On my Mac" or "iCloud").
    Don't close iCloud in System Preferences (the term "logout" is confusing, It's actually like deleting an email accout). If you want to "logout" say, on a shared computer, do it in Safari as a session logout.
    What your iPhone or iCloud on your computer is seeing, is the iCloud dataset. With the proviso that it sometimes takes a while for the server to reflect the changes.  You also see the "On my Mac" dataset, which may look like duplicate data, if it is the same.
    If your changes to the address book on your computer are not being changed in iCloud, it is either a server problem, or more likely, that you are working in the "On my Mac" dataset, which is not synced to iCloud.
    If you want to have a simple iCloud only system, I suggest you:
    A. make archive copies of the Address Book by File>Export>Archive
    (and each Calendar in iCal as .ics files by File>Export>Export)
    B. Delete the "On my Mac" Datasets.
    You are less likely to see duplicate data showing, unless it all got horribly merged in iCloud, and duplicated up there already. 
    (Beware the "merge" option when creating an iCloud account, if there is already data in it)

  • IPod touch 4th generation will not sync with iTunes, but shows up in Windows 7 64bit(Acer Aspire laptop)

    Hello all, I am writing this message in the hope that somebody can help me to solve my issue with my iPod touch fourth generation. It has been unable to sync with iTunes, but shows up in windows as the iPod touch. I also had this problem with my older iPods as well (Ipod nano 4th Gen, iPod touch 2nd gen(Batteries done for that one)) I can sync music with iCloud, but I have a bunch of songs that are not in the store, and I sincerely want to add those, alot.
    I've checked the "iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes" with the link here: (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363), and followed that process, but to no avail, it does not solve the problem. I've tried to reset the entire ipod by making it enter DFU mode and then rebooting the entire iPod (shows up in iTunes in temporary mode) but once restored, does not appear in iTunes, but still in Windows detected still as a iPod, looks like the iPod and everything. I also have the most uup-to-date iTunes installed (10.5 I believe, just got it today)
    This is extremely frustrating because that is why I purchased the iPod (and for the games and apps, those are great too). The iPod was also purchased three days ago, and the setup still didn't detect it.  I am not mad at anybody here or the Apple company itself, but I have not found any help online with the browsing option (for support of course).
    Please, I would absolutely love the help, i'd be eternally grateful for it.

    Never mind, turns out that by uninstalling the programs "Megakey" and "Megaupload" it had resolved this issue.

  • Synced videos do not show up on iPod

    Every time I sync my iPod with iTunes, although iTunes says the videos are synced, they do not show up in the Video app on the iPod.
    This is a fairly new problem.  All these videos have been synced before and they all showed up just fine in the Video app, but as of late the iPod does not show them.  Searching for them yields no results.
    The videos are in a compatible format and do not have an extremely high definition.  Again, I do not think the problem is with the videos, because previously I was able to view them all just fine.
    I have at least 1G of memory left, 2G without syncing the videos.
    I have erased and re-synced them in iTunes, to no avail.  I can play the videos on the iPod from iTunes, but not on the actual iPod device.  I'm using windows iTunes, and it is up to date.  The iPod software is up to date.  I don't want to do a restore because I've already done that multiple times for multiple issues, but if that's what I have to do, I will. It's a pretty old iPod.  I'm syncing with a third-party Duracell cable, but I really don't think that's the problem.
    I'm not sure what it means, but in iTunes I have checked the option that reads, "Prefer standard definition videos".  Syncing with that option unchecked changes nothing so far as I can tell.
    Thanks for all your help!

  • My Temp Work around for my Outlook Sync with Z10 - Not Ideal but works.

    I like many on this forum was pissed that Outlook Sync was not included with BlackBerry Link.. I was fortunate to transfer all my contacts & calendars from my Old Torch 9810 without a problem. The problem is that I need to sync my calendar and updated contacts on a regular bases. I use Outlook 2010 for all my 1400 contacts and Calendar. There is no way I am going to use any cell phone to update this amount of data. I have owned the Z10 since Tuesday Morning and that afternoon I was ready to take it back and I am a die hard BB user..  My wife has an Iphone 5, nice toy, but wont work for my business..  Seriously considered Android phone, but they also have their issues with the Outlook sync via USB..
    But after 6 Days with the Z10, I must say I love it. .Didn't at first, but once you figure out, it is truly impressive.. Also love the virtual keyboard, very accurate and amazing.. Love the fact that I can have multiple applications running at the same time.. I use web pages that I need for work as an active screen and a button on my home page. 
    While waiting for a 3rd party application to implement this (Campanion Link & Deja Office) or to have BB realize that this is serious and add it in their BB link soon.. Cloud is not an option for me.  
    This is the temporary solution I have right now.
    Option 1:
    1. Wipe off all my Data of my old BB 9810. Make sure lates OS is installed.  Delete all contacts. Sync with Outlook but from PC to Phone Only..  Use BB link to transfer the Contacts and Calendar to the Z10. This will replace any contact you have on the z10..
    Option 2:
    Forward any contacts from your outlook as vcard to your Z10 as email.  Click on the .vcard and it will add to contacts. 
    Again this is a temp soltuion without 3rd party software or Icloud until BB adds this to BB link. 

    Yes it's back! ( and works! ) Thank you Apple!
    Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

  • Can I restore my Notes from an iCloud back-up? if I synced with the Notes "off" in the iCloud settings?

    I synced with the Notes "off" position in the iCloud settings since I didn't realize I had to specifically turn anything "on" to be synced. I had to wipe my iPhone for another issue and restored my contacts, etc, from my most recent iCloud back-up. Can I go back to the back-up and retrieve my Notes, or were they never sent to the cloud to begin with? If I can't, is there ANY way to get them back? And if not, can they be hacked by anyone wince they have all kinds of data that could be used for Bad Things.

    I restored from iCloud, although the Notes thing was still "off'. I only just turned it on now, so if I re-restore, will I get my Notes back?
    Thanks

  • OVI Suite 2.0 doesn't sync with Lotus Notes!

    I am disgusted with the new OVI 2.0! First it keeps bugging me to download and install it. Next I found out that it doesn't support sync with Lotus Notes. Unlike my Nokia PC Suite v 7.0, it doesn't sync at all with Lotus Notes.
    Even worst, Nokia claimed that OVI Suite is the only application available from them. 
    What am I to do with my calendar and contacts entries on my Notes then? I will not hesitate to switch to a different mobile phone maker if Nokia doesn't fix this problem!

    Hi, recommendation is to use Lotus Notes Traveler for S60 application for using Nokia device with Lotus Notes. Lotus Notes Traveler for S60 supports syncing email, contacts and calendar over the air with Lotus Notes servers.
    That's recommended way to sync Nokia device's with Lotus Notes.
    The Lotus Notes Traveler might be recommended, though I am working in a company that provides Lotus Notes Traveler it is not an alternative for me, since:
    a. The company does not pay the data traffic costs on my phone, so I must cover the cost of use of Traveler from my own pocket.
    b. Traveler have impractical limitations in the range of how long in the future calendar data is sync'ed.
    Now, that is my situation, but not all companies does provide or plan to provide their employees with Lotus Notes Traveler, but they allows their employees to choose their phones themselves. You can say I am just being difficult, but they who have no alternatives are not. For them it is Nokia being difficult.
    The current solution for most of us is to continue using Nokia PC Suite until it is time for a new phone, and then change to another mobile phone provider, if Nokia still has no new solution for sync'ing with Lotus Notes.
    It is not wise of Nokia to remove a feature from its software that have made people loyal so far, and changing to other phones is, as we all know, easy, and Nokia can not afford to lose more customers. As customers most of us can, however, easily live without Nokia. I abandoned Ericsson some ten years ago as they did not provide new features and functions as Nokia then did. Now it is Nokia that discontinues features and functions and is slow to implement new ones.
    With the exception of the calendar and contacts, which can be sync'ed as long as the PC Suite works, the Nokia backup solution does not backup much I can not backup by using the memory card and a computer (and/or the USB cable), and it will be a simple matter to drop that back into a mobile phone from another provider, and sync my calendar and contacts into it as well.
    I believe Nokia employees reading these discussions should forward their concern to their colleagues and superiors at Nokia, and I know the culture in many Finnish companies implies a relatively flat structure and allows for good contact along the lines of command in the companies, so I believe that can be done.
    I would like to be able to continue using Nokia, but I am more dependent on features and functionality than brand.

  • Are there ANY memos/notes apps that will sync with Mac, NOT "cloud"?

    In desperation I got BlueMarbleSOftware.com's "Memos" app to move memos from my now defunct Palm to my iPhone. I then discover that "Memos" can't create a new category on the iPhone. Grr. It also uses a Google Files account to move them. I keep sensitive information in my memos and I'm NOT going to put that out in the "Cloud". So, this isn't working out well.
    My question:
    Is there ANY iPhone/OS X application pair out there that will allow me to sync my notes/memos to my Mac and not to the Cloud? iTunes is a pretty poor sync mechanism since it can only allow me access to iTunes type stuff. iCal, while not very good, at least syncs with the calendar on the iPhone and contacts also sync with OSX. However, nothing that I can find will sync notes with the Mac directly. Has anyone out there found something that will? I'm happy to pay for it if it DOESN'T go through the "Cloud".
    I love my iPhone's capabilities, but Apple's restrictions on its use are dimming my enthusiasm a bit about the iPhone being a killer "do everything" box.
    Thanks,

    This sounds ideal - My read of it wasn't perfectly clear - Does it sync through the USB cable that the Apple sync uses or though a wireless connection? How good is the Mark/Space notes app? Apple's notes doesn't allow grouping by category, everything goes into one place, is the M/S notes app better than that?
    Thanks! This is looking perfect!

    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.
