How do i get Apple Mac to sync to ICloud?  Contacts are different on mac, iCloud to iPad

trying to get my apple mac and iPad to sync.  I have an iCloud account but it is not backing up my mac and doesn't show my iPad if i log in from my mac.  Contacts or photos not updating.

Well, though my search prior to posting didn't turn up any promising threads, several appeared in the "More Like This" list after I posted. The following thread solved my problem: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17572013#17572013

    No not bothered about sycing apps etc it is all about calendars and maybe notes. IN terms of how its done I just want it the easiest way and preferably so that if an entry is made on one calendar then it populates the other.
    Thgius is beacuse I have my work diary on outlok, which I then link with my ical. I want to make sure that information is then shared with her.

  • How do I get Apple TV 1 to work on the mac 10.7.2 ?

    How do I get Apple TV 1 to work on the mac 10.7.2 ? It was woking great in Tiger 10.4.11 and still is working as I write. It won't show up in devices in iTunes .

    Don't worry about that warning. The only content it will delete are the synced copies of your iTunes content from your library.  You can add it all back once it's paired again.  Be brave

  • Hey apples, how do I get my iPhone 4 sync'ed with my itunes account using my laptop?

    Hey apples, how do I get my iPhone 4 sync'ed with my itunes account using my laptop = how do I add my existing itunes from my account from my laptop to my iPhone 4.  Thanks.

    Overview of syncing iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with your computer:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    Keep in mind that with the iPhone, you can sync all iTunes content with only one computer.  Trying to sync iTunes content with a second computer will result in iTunes erasing the content from the first computer.  However, non-itunes content such as contacts, calendars, mail settings, notes, etc. (anything in the Info pane) can be synced from another computer.
    If you have songs on a different computer, copy them to the computer you use to sync:

    Hello lenmin,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • How can I get Apple to give me an activation key for QT Pro that works?

    Stopping at the Genius Bar last night, they suggested I upgrade my QT Viewer to Pro so I could move some of my digital video over to my iPone. I followed the purchase/download instructions and after putting in the activation code, I was NOT redirected to the page to activate the Pro version. I did the usual of retyping ny name, the key and even installed QT Viewer again, all to no avail.
    I caled Apple support this morning and was told to call QT support and have them make my key recognizable. The only problem is the number she gave me for QT support says there is no QT phone support, only web information on frequently asked questions and this forum. I sort of feel like I am going in a circle.
    So if anyone has the magical answer on how I can get Apple to give me an activation key that actually works without being able to speak or email a human support person, I would very much appreciate it.
    Thank you.

    Kirk,
    Thanks again for your suggestions. No, I don't get an
    error message. In fact nothing happens. My name and
    key are typed in and from what I understand, once you
    do that with a real key it directs you to the
    registration page. When I get done entering the
    information the window just sits there without any
    button or option to continue.
    QT Pro is already in the QT (non-pro) you installed and the key (which is a hash of your name in part) allows the Pro features to work.
    No redirect, internet, nothing like that. As such many people have activated and think they haven't. Just look at the menu items and see if the "Pro" logo is shown next to a few (which are greyed out and not available without Pro). If not you are done.

    Enable iCloud on both, and Calendars on the iPhone should sync with iCal on the Mac wirelessly.
