How can I sync my iPad Contacts to my new iMac?

My iPad is set to snyc contacts in iTunes and I told it to merge, but nothing happened.  I'm running Lion on the iMac.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

If the iMac is running 10.7.2 (Lion) and the iPad is running IOS 5.0 or later then simply follow the instructions for iCloud in iCloud Setup Instructions.
Peg, there is also an iCloud forum you can post to.

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

  • How can I sync my Ipad contacts and calendars with my Imac? Can I go back to previous OS?

    The main use of our Imac for my OH has been spoilt with the new operating system.  He is getting a message "moving calendars to serveraccount" and it is taking hours to do.  He used to sync easily by cable. 

    iTunes 11 for Mac: Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad   . If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.
    Instead of reverting to the previous OS X, use iCloud > Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.

    How can I sync my pc contacts with my ipad and iphone?

    Do you normally sync via iTunes and your computer? If so, there's an option in iTunes - that you see as you plug each device in - to sync contacts. If you don't normally sync via iTunes you can download and use the iCloud control panel and use that to sync your contacts.

  • How can I sync my FB contacts to my iPad contacts?

    How can I sync my FB contacts to my iPad contacts?

    Hello
    I figured this out for my iPad so maybe this will help here for adding birthdays and events from Facebook.
    1. Using an iPad open Safari. Don't try using the Facebook app.
    2. Once in Facebook click on the link "Events".
    3. You will want to hold the iPad in landscape mode versus portrait or make sure you are zoomed out to see the whole page. Click on the icon that looks like an asterisk ( * ) next to the button "Today".
    4. Click "Export" from the pulldown menu.
    5. A pop-up will appear showing two links that read "export your friends' birthdays" and the other "upcoming events". Clicking either one will make a pop-up appear asking you if you want to subscribe.
    6. Click on subscribe. A final pop-up will appear where you can click on "View Events" or "Done". "View Events" will launch the iCalendar app.

    1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
    That should do it.

  • How can I sync my iPad to a computer after syncing it to the iCloud? I have the option of setting it up new, or restoring to a sync from many months ago. I dont want to lose any apps but I would like to back up on computer. No auto sync like other devices

    How can I sync my iPad to a computer after syncing it to the iCloud? I have the option of setting it up new, or restoring to a sync from many months ago. I dont want to lose any apps but I would like to back up on computer. No auto sync like other devices.

    Plug it into your computer. Tell it to sync with "this computer" instead of iCloud. You shouldn't have to remove any apps. Otherwise, you can save the app data by using i-FunBox ( http://www.i-funbox.com/ ) just go to the "devices" tab and select 'user applications' and select all of your apps and tell iFunBox to "copy to pc" you're done! You have them all backed up.

    HOW CAN I SYNC ALL MY CONTACTS FROM MY IPHONE TO ICLOUD?

    Go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account if you haven't already done so, turn Contacts on and choose Merge with iCloud when prompted.  If you are syncing contacts from an external account (Gmail, Yahoo, exchange, etc.) you will need to take additional steps to add them.  Let me know if that's the case.
