Having trouble synching contacts from ipad and iphone to iMac

Hello, I have an iMac with Yosemite and an iPad and iPhone with iOS 8 that are all fully updated.  I am having trouble getting all of my contacts to sync to my iMac.  They sync between the devices fine.  After a lot of searching around I found that my iMac doesn't show my outlook account as one of my internet accounts for contacts.  I get my mail no problem from outlook (hotmail) on my iMac.  But when I try to set up another internet account on my iMac it doesn't show outlook as a possibility.  I don't know why my ipad an phone are using outlook for contacts but they are and I don't seem to be able to switch it up.  Any help would be very much appreciated.

I don't know much about sim cards (being a Verizon user), but having an iPhone 4S, mysteriouly having a SIM card slot, I notices a button in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars that said "import SIM contacts. I'm not sure how you get your contacts in a SIM card, but thats obviously how you import them onto your new iPhone.
Thank you for choosing Apple.

    I'm not aware of any viruses or malware for iOS devices (except for jailbroken devices), but it might be a software bug.
    Try closing all apps via the taskbar and then do another a reset and see if that helps. To close all app : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Reset as before i.e. press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I am having trouble deleting photos from iPad that we're imported from PC  how do I do this to free space on ipad

    I am having trouble deleting photos from iPad that we're ported from PC. Already deleted from PC but still showing up on iPad following sync

    Tap and hold your finger on the X
    You should get a message in some cases that it will delete your stored app data - say OK if you want to proceed
    The wiggle mode should stop with a press of the home button - not a hard reset
    Reset your phone and see if the behavior changes - there is no data loss - Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

    How to get my contacts from ipad to iphone?  (I don't want any contacts to come from my PC via icloud, only from the ipad.)

    Well, if both your iPad and iPhone have ios 7 you could AirDrop the contacts. This may seem time consuming if have a lot of contacts as you have to select all the ones you want to transfer. But it is useful if you want transfer only specific contacts and not the whole contact list. Oh, and another thing: your iPad has to be a 4th generation or higher and your iPhone has to be 5th generation or higher.

  • I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint, only a WIFI printer,my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ?

    I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint at home but only a WIFI printer, my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ? Please help me if anyone knows about this.

    Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
    You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.

  • I'm getting a message that my iCloud storage is almost full (5.0 GB, 186 mb remaining).  I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac.  I've deleted all but 200 photos on each of these devices.  Data storage is still same.

    I have transferred all photos from iPad and iPhone to Mac.  I have deleted almost all photos from both (about 200 remaining on each).  I do not store tunes or videos.  After making these changes, I still have the same message in iCloud.

    Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Select your device (listed as 'This iPhone' or 'This iPad') then look at the next backup size.  Compare the 'Next Backup Size' to the 'Backup Size' on taht same screen.  If the next backup size is smaller, then you have successfully removed some content from your device.
    Now the question still lingers as to why your iCloud is still showing so full right?  Well, iCloud keeps the last 3 backups from each device.  It doesn't duplicate them, but it uses an incremental backup system.  So basically your device's backup will take up as much space on iCloud as the largest backup of the last 3 backups.  With that being said, your iPhone and ipad will eventually shrink the size of your backup (if that next backup size is smaller) in about 3 days (3 backups assuming your iOS devices backup once as day when you are sleeping).
    Can I expedite this?  Well of course you can.  If you want, you can Delete the backup from both of the devices via that same screen then go back to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, turn iCloud Backups back on, then backup now.  Keep in mind that if you do this, it will clear out your last 3 backups (and cannot be undone), but it may also take a long while for your iPhone and iPad to complete that inital backup after deleting the old backups.
    I hope this helps. (My Recommendation: Basically check what's in paragraph one, then it will works itself out in a few days.)

  • Can't see local DLNA server from iPad and iPhone

    Hi
    I have a Windows 8.1 PC running a DLNA server which services a community of devices including Win 8.1 Laptop, XBOX One and 2 x XBOX 360 Consoles, an iPad and iPhone.  All has been working until recently (within last 7 days).  (I cannot recall whether the current situation immediately followed ay one particular change).
    Right now all devices can still use the DLNA service apart from the iPad and iPhone.  I cannot connect to the service from the iPad using a DLNA renderer or even connect to the web interface via Safari.  I have tried (and failed) to ping the server from my iPad (pinging from my laptop both wired and wirelessly is fine).  I have turned off the Windows firewall and still have the problem.  Using a subnet pinger, my iPad does find my laptop.
    I am at a loss!  I have tried to isolate the issue but have failed.  Sounds like a server side / firewall issue (access to a port) but other systems are fine.  Seems curious it is occurring on the 2 iOS devices in the household!
    Can anyone suggest a course of action?
    cheers
    John

    Hi Rudegar
    I have been successfully using iOS apps such as 8Player as DLNA renderer, but it is no longer able to find the DLNA server (Media Browser Server) and, as reported, I cannot even ping the DLNA server from my iPAD (yet can ping other Win 8.1 devices).
