How to Sync contacts between iPhone and Mac pro using iCloud?

Like many other people i have set up both my iphone and my Macbook Pro 13' on the same icloud account and yet my contacts on my phone are not transfering over to my computer propperly? They usually dont go on at all or they go on but not fully. (ie: cell number missing, or email is missing.) This has frustrated me ever since icloud came out, and i have ended up emailing every single one of my contacts from my phone to myself so that i can get them on my computer. If anybody has had this problem or has any suggestions i would be happy to hear.

Depends how you sync. If using iCloud, set it in the iCloud settings on the phone. If syncing with iTunes, set in on the Info page of your divice in iTunes

My documents are not syncing between iPad2 and Mac Pro using iCloud

I just download Lion yesterday...iCloud is turned on to sync documents on my MacPro, my iPhone 4, and my iPad 2, all using the new iOS 5...however, documents are not showing. I created a document on my iPad2 using Pages, and it does not show on my Mac. I create a document on my Mac and it does not show on my iPad2. What is wrong?

iwork on Lion does no document syncing. Regardless if you have set "document and data" in icloud preferences on a Mac. Not one single app uses this setting on OSX. Thus far document syncing is iOS5 devices only.
You must visit www.icloud.com from Mac to download your files .
After editing them you need to re-upload them manually also via the Browser to have them updated on your iOS devices.

How to sync iCal between iPhone and MacBookPro without MobileMe?

Hello,
How can I sync iCal between iPhone and MacBookPro without MobileMe?
I'm still using MobileMe, but I will stop soon.
I'm using my iPhone in India a lot to create new events or to add new contacts. At the end of the day I would like to able to sync it with my MacBookPro without using MobileMe. Internet Connection is often very bad in that area. The iPhone I only use without UMTS and all that Data Transfering stuff. Best for me would be to sync directly by wire or Bluetooth if possible. If you have a solution with and without Internet Connection, that would be very helpfull to me.

On the Mac, in iTunes with iPhone attached, click on the iPhone section. Go to the "info" tab. There you will see a list of items that can be synced. Make sure that "sync addressbook contacts" is checked, along with the appropriate choices under it.
Don't know what else to say, it works fine here.
Hope this helps.

My calendar is not syncing between iphone and Mac air on iCloud.

Hi
The calendar entries I am adding either on my iphone or mac air via icloud are not syncying between the devices. Is anyone else having this problem currently? If yes, how can it be resolved. I have deleted the account and added it back in but to no avail.
Thanks

Are all the devices set to actually sync calendar entries to iCloud? If any of them are set to sync with some other service (gMail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.) while some of them are set to use iCloud then they can not sync. Or if they are set to iCloud but only set to sync say contact and bookmarks then they will not sync. They all have to be set to iCloud and they all have to have the calendar option selected.

Contacts no longer in sync between iPhone and Mac after creating iCloud email address

A few days ago, I was asked (by iCloud) to create an iCloud email address because it would be "better" than the email address I've been using. Since then, most of my contacts have disappeared from my iPhone 4s. I have noticed that the newest contacts are still on my iPhone, while all my other contacts are on my Mac and on iCloud.com.
How do I merge the two so that I don't lose any of the contacts and get them all in sync?
On my MacBook Pro, l have OS X v10.9.1, System Settings for iCloud checked for Contacts.
On my iPhone 4S, I have iOS 7.0.4, System Settings for iCloud ON for Contacts.
iCloud account on both devices is the same AppleID, which is my old AppleID, not the new @iCloud.com
My Hotmail email account has also been screwed up since this change. It keeps downloading the same messages over and over again and when I try to delete them, it tells me it is unable to move the messages to the mailbox trash.

Welcome to the Apple Community BratTheCat.
Please try the following…
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
iCloud doesn't change anything to do with non iCloud content, contact hotmail to resolve your hotmail problem.

Syncing contacts between iPhone and Address Book Server

How does one sync contacts from the Address Book Server with the iPhone?
The Apple ad says, "With Address Book, you can even synchronize contacts to your iPhone for accessing your contacts on the go."
How?

Ugh...I just spent lots of hours over the last several days trying to figure this out and was coming to the conclusion that it could be that it really doesn't work as advertising. It seems confirmed now.
A bit disappointing that it seems like it would be better to run an Exchange server instead of Snow Leopard server....
I have MobileMe as well, but it doesn't seem like I can get SL Server --> Mac Addressbook.app --> MobileMe --> iPhone... but I'll give it a few tries.

Syncing Contacts between iPhone and Macbook

I recently added contacts on both my iPhone and on my Macbook. However, the new contacts placed on the iPhone won't sync to the address book contacts and the contacts on my Macbook won't sync to my iPhone. How can I go about resolving this problem?

Assuming you have sync contacts with the Address Book selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, try resetting the sync history on your Mac. This is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application if your Mac is not running Lion.

How to sync Notes between iPhone5 and Mac?

Apparently this is a common problem, given the many pleas for help on several different sites, and Apple blithely ignores it in its so-called "Help".
My iPhone5 (IOS 7.1) and iMac (OS X Mavericks 10.9.2) are both set up to share Notes through my iCloud account (which works just fine with Calendar and Contacts). The same email address and password are used in both places. On both, the default account for Notes is iCloud.
But the Notes DO NOT SYNC! Notes created in the iCloud on my Mac do not appear on my iPhone; those created in the iCloud on my iPhone do not appear on my iMac.
I have tried several of the suggestions offered in the discussion groups. I have disconnected and reconnected my iPhone Notes from iCloud. (I have been reluctant to disconnect my iMac Notes from iCloud, because of the dire warning that I might lose what notes are there.) I have entered and re-entered the email address and password so many times that my iPhone thinks I'm an idiot. (Maybe I am, if I can't make such a "simple" app work.) I have deleted all the Notes on my iPhone.
What is the magic word that will make Notes sync between my iPhone and my iMac?

Hello,
i experiment the same problem.
Although i've done all the cleanings adviced by RHab nothing synchronize with the iPad but everything is fine with the iphone, that 's so strange !
I've got my notes on my Mac, on my iPhone, on icloud.com and everything synchronizes.
But despite the same settings on the iPhone and on the iPad there's any notes on the iPad app.
There must be something i miss
thanks a lot in advance for your help

How to sync Samples between iPhone and iPad

When using iOS 6 and its updates, it would seem that Sample downloads from iBooks would sync automatically between my devices - iPhone 5 and iPad 3. Now that I have iOS 7(.0.4 on both) this does not happen even though the same 'switches' are enabled in the iBooks settings. Nor are PDF files on one device synced to the other. Any one else experienced this and if so is there a cure please?? Thanks

I would ask these guys.

How do I sync Notes between iPhone and Macbook, preferably using a cable?

I was running Lion before I upgraded to Mavericks. I would sync notes via iTunes using a cable.
My understanding is that you have to use WiFi and iCloud with Mavericks, which if true is a really dumb limitation and a problematic one. I do not have WiFi at home and often not when traveling. But I do have a cable and my Macbook.
Is there no way to sync Notes with a cable?

At a standstill on a solution so I retried other suggestions I have found on various threads. I have done this specific process multiple times but luckily this time it worked. What helped was - on MBP went to Settings > iCloud then unchecked Notes. Said ok to delete Notes from MBP (my most recent version is on my iPhone). Waited about 5 min then went back to Settings > iCloud checked Notes, said ok to merge and now my Notes on iPhone and MBP are the same. Will have to see what happens. I had my phone connected to MBP vis USB and used wireless during process. Hope this helps with your problem also.

Difference in Wifi-speed between iPhone and Mac Pro

Hello.
Have just moved in to new studio and having some problems with the wifi-signal on my Mac Pro.
Not the most technical guy so not sure what to do here. Basically we've extended the airport express which we're using as the router with another Aiport Express. The base airport express is situated upstairs from me now so not expecting a full signal but bought another airport express to extend the signal. Now to my problem: basically my workstation is a Mac Pro Early 2009 which we at the time put a wifi card in. If i do a speedtest at exactly the same position with my Mac Pro and with for example my iPhone 5. The iPhone 5 gets a speed result of around 20mbit/s and the Mac Pro only gets around 5-6mbit/s.. Why is that? Could it be that the wifi card in the Mac Pro is too old or something? The Airport Expresses are both purchased in the last month or two so they are the most up to date ones avaliable. Do they run on different signals or something?
Thanks!

How to sync Contacts between rMBP and iPhone 5s.

The Contacts on my iPhone 5s appear to be an older version than that on my MacBook Pro Retna. How do I get them to sync?

I am a new user when it comes to Apple so I have to say I am not sure. I thought I had eveything setup for Contacts on the Cloud, until I noticed the diffenences between the rMBP Contacts and those on the iPhone 5s. I also connected the two devices with a cable and rid to sync with iTunes, but I still see differences.
