How to fix problem with not all contacts on iphone syncing to iMac?

Working on my iMac (running 10.6.8) and trying to look up a contact that's in my iphone (running iOS 5.0.1) contacts, I noticed that at least one (maybe more) of the contacts I've added to the phone are not getting added to the contacts on my iMac when i sync "all address book contacts."  What do I need to change or do to make sure that both locations have both sets of complete contacts.  (Note - I most often add new contacts to the phone and expect them to transfer to the desktop when I perform a sync later.)
Your help is appreciated.  Thanks.

You need a Mac running V10.7.2 Lion in order to enable iCloud. That's why contacts aren't syncing with your iPhone.
What do I need to change or do to make sure that both locations have both sets of complete contacts.
You need to upgrade to Lion but first make sure your Mac meets  Lion's requirements
You can download Lion from the App Store.

  • Anyone know how to fix problem of not being able to import RAW files of Nikon D800 to Lightroom 5.2?

    Hi there, am failing miserably to import NIKON D800 RAW files into Lightroom, have updated to version 5.2 which Adobe website says is compatible, but still no luck. Can import PDF files of Nikon D800, and my RAW files are fully accessible via Nikon proprietary software such as ViewNX2 and Capture NX2. Have Microsoft OS Windows 7 (if that helps..). Anyone any idea how to fix this problem? Grateful for any ideas, Ruud

    Dear Jim, you have set me on the right track, thanks! I have updated my Nikon View NX 2 software (which includes the transfer software from camera to hard disk) and this has done the trick. Many thanks, also to Keith for showing interest in my problem. Downside remains that the files previously loaded with the old software remain 'un-importable', so if anyone still has a good tip how to try and correct that...
    .. all ideas are welcome!!
    But as said, many thanks for helping me solve the issue for future downloads

  • How to fix problems with AppleTV disconnecting suddenly from when streaming from iPhone or iPad

    My AppleTV suddenly gets disconnected from streaminng when I use iPhpne or iPad.  This didn't occur first 6 months from purchasing the item but now that my AppleTV is about 1.5 yr old, it happens pretty frequently and it really is annoying, when you try to watch 1+ hour long shows through streaming (AirPlay). Anyone know how to fix this problem?  Note: this is not related to my wifi connection as other things with wifi works just fine when this is happening to my AppleTV. Thanks!!

    That doesn't rule out a network issue.
    Reboot ATV and router, make sure router is up to date.
    Try Ethernet
    Go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise

  • How to fix problems with apps that need access to Apple servers?

    I have problems with Apple apps that connects to Apple servers (App Store, iTunes Store, Apple Support pages on Safari).
    They are very slow or even not responding like iTunes Store with blank pages.
    Please help.

    There have been other threads on this and it seems that some members have reported that resetting your Macs PRAM has fixed it for them.

  • How to fix problems with WIFI iOS 6. ,,, i.e. No auto connect.

    All i am having various issues.
    1- Wifi wont work properly with OS6.
    Examples: facebook wont update notifications while in wifi, but is does in 3G.
    Other example: uploading pictures runtime error.
    2- Wifi wont Autoconnect. It was auto connecting until I reseted the network settings.
    Not sure why now all the sudden does not auto connect.

    scott;
    Your problem may have to do with the age of your router. My old router does have the same problem.
    It could also be the router settings, or the firmware version. Make sure you update the firmware. In other cases downgrading the firmware also may work. Apple is been updating wifi protocols to new standards, causing old routers to be not as good. (Specially with the iOS 6).
    To fix the auto connect;
    1- delete all networks
    2- turn on "ask to join networks"
    3- turn off 3G to force Safari to ask to join a network.
    4- open Safari
    5- accept to connect to wifi and enter password
    6- you are done, and it will always auto connect
    If you go straight to networks and connect to wifi that way next time you turn off and back on the wifi it wont auto connect. You need to follow instructions above.

    2. I was asked to re-enter my password and this did not fix the problem.

    4. I reset password in Thunderbird, but still couldn't send test message to myself.
    5. I deleted account in Thunderbird. Then I added a different Gmail acct that was not in Tbird. Success. Then I sent test email, success.
    6. Then I re-added the original Gmail acct, Failure! It found the correct settings automatically, but when it tried to verify password, it failed. I repeated entering the password several times, but still failure.

  • How to fix problem with installed and working add-ons disappearing after update to 20.0.1?

    I updated to version 20.0.1 of Firefox the other day. I had the theme Qute 3++ 1.19 installed and it took 3 restarts of the browser before it kicked in and worked again, for some reason.
    Then I noticed that my MillBar Community toolbar 3.18.0.7 had disappeared, which I use for the feature of collecting my email accounts to get fast notifications about new emails. Also my Adblock Plus 2.2.3 seems to not be working because all of a sudden I see ads everywhere and I also discovered a bunch of pop-ups from nowhere. I used these add-ons for such a long time that I was shocked.
    When i went to type a message to a friend, I also noticed that my american-english dictionary/spellchecker was not working.
    The first thing I checked was that none of these add-ons was inactivated or said to need updates. The dictionary had disappeared, so i re-installed that. I also reinstalled Adblock Plus. Still it doesn't work.
    When i entered the email information into the toolbar options, it collects my emails for a while, but suddenly it stops and the information is not there anymore. If I restart the browser it also disappears.
    Same thing with the dictionary. it works for a while, and then suddenly it's like it's disabled.
    And the add-ons are still in what seems like working conditions in my lists. No errors that I can see, no updates available.
    I'm really at a loss as to what to do, I've never had problems like this before that couldn't be solved with an update of the add-on. So I'd be very grateful for help with this and hope that I have provided enough information.

    this help is not useful.
    Since the new firefox version 20.0.1, '''no more of my add-ons work''' (except firebug ). They are installed '''but not visible '''(no toolbar, no menus) !!! same for the new add - ons that I installed. I tried everything: to reinstall add-on, to reinstall firefox.
    this new version of firefox is really horrible, '''thank you for making a corrective because I cannot work any more with'''

  • How to fix problem with opening pdfs in Windows 8.1 with Adobe Reader XI?

    Every time I try to open a pdf on my new laptop with Adobe Reader XI, I get a message than either the file is not supported or its damaged. But it still opens fine on my old laptop with Windows 7.
    Any suggestions?@

    Hi. Thanks for taking the time to answer. Upon further investigation, it appears that the original pdfs I was transferring from my old computer to my new one were “grayed out” on the flash drive, so they wouldn’t open on the new laptop. When I went back and reloaded the pdfs again, they weren’t grayed out, and now everything’s working fine. But again, thanks so much for making the effort to help. I really appreciate it.

    If you don't have a SIM card in the phone, you must put one in. It's required for activation.
    If you do, then your phone was probably hacked to unlock it from the original carrier. Contact them and see if they will unlock it. If they will not do so, then you can't use that phone.

    I can't text a contact but can voice phone them. I don't have the problem with any other contact and the contact is not blocked. I have an iphone5.0 OS 8.1.3. I used to be able to text them with no problem. The only difference I can think is that this problem may have started since I downloaded the OS I am using now
