HT1296 Syncing my contacts with my iPad

I have tried syncing my contacts with my iPad and I only seem to get 886 of my contacts added - leaving out over half of them (I have 1700 plus contacts) - why can't I add ALL my contacts?  Has anyone else had this problem?  Cheers

This is the first time that you synced contacts with Outlook? Have you used iCloud in the past? How were you syncing contacts before? While a backup can contain contact information, it is not foolproof (as you have discovered). Also, contacts are not stored in iTunes. If you have not done anything since this, try to restore to a backup done before this sync and see if you can recover the contacts. It may not be able to be done. Good luck.

  • TS4118 how to sync calendar/contacts with imac, ipad, & iphone

    I am having issues syncing with all of my products and would love some assistance, please. 
    I have the new ipad and the iphone 5.  I also have an imac running Mac OS X (version 10.6.8).  I can sync the ipad and iphone 5 with icloud but I end up with a lot of duplicates.  Nothing seems to be syncing with the imac.
    I used to be able to keep my imac as the primary item that I would make all of the changes on, plug my ipad into the computer and when it would sync (over itunes), it would make the calendar/contacts adjustments on to the ipad, but since getting the iphone, that just isn't happening any more.  Is it because of icloud?  Now, there is nothing on my imac calendar - the iphone seems to be the primary with both the ipad & iphone having a ton of duplicates (both in the calendar and the contacts)!
    Thanks sooo much for any assistance you can provide! 

    While waiting for a reply, you can read the documentation that was in the box your iPad came in.  It's a book about a Spanish guy called Manual.
    The answer is iTunes.  Download it.  Install it.  Read the instructions.  Use it.

  • HT2520 I have an old MacBook Pro running OS 10.7.5.  I would like to sync up my contacts with my iPad.  I have checked all the right boxes in iCloud.

    I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.7.5.  I would like to sync my contacts from my iPad with my MAC.  I've checked all the appropriate boxes in iCloud on both devices.  What am I not doing or doing wrong?

    Bobby D,
    Thanks for the help.  I learned quite a bit from your answer.  Turns out I was looking in Outlook for the MAC instead of Address Book on my MAC which already had all my contacts.  Once I imported them to Outlook, problem solved.  It will be interesting to see if when I add a new contact it updates Outlook.
    Thanks again,

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

    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.

    You have sync all iCal calendars chosen or selected calendars?
    No problems syncing contacts with the Address Book or with anything else included with the iTunes sync process?

  • How do I sync individual contacts with Facebook?

    On iOs6, on the iPhone 5, how does one sync individual contacts with Facebook? I don't wish to use the sync all contacts feature, as it adds thousands of Facebook friends to my contact list. I simply wish to connect the contacts already in my address book.

    I realize this is really old, but on the off chance of you never having found a way, I figured I'd pop in with something actually useful unlike this Raz fella.
    I couldn't figure out a way to do it without connecting to facebook at all, but here is what I did:
    1. Connect to facebook.
    2. Update contacts.
    3. Click groups and uncheck facebook contacts.
    Now contacts which are only on the phone because of facebook will not show up, and yet the others will have been connected.
    If a specific person does not connect properly to facebook, add their FACEBOOK EMAIL (found in their about section) to the email section of contacts and again go to the facebook settings and click update contacts. This should connect that person.

  • Is there a way to sync outlook calendars with Imac, Ipad, Iphone calendars.  I am not running exchange server.

    Is there a way to sync outlook calendars with Imac, Ipad, Iphone calendars?  I am not running exchange server.

    hello,
    BlackBerry devices do not support ActiveSync.
    you have several ways, from best to less good :
    1)
    if your company has set up Outlook Web Access, you can use the BIS connection of your device to connect to the Exchange server (email + Address book) through the url of the Outlook Web Access. The OWA needs to be accessible from outside the company.
    2)
    if your company has setup an external link to the exchange server (can be accessible from outside the company), you can configure your BIS directly to the Exchange server (email only if I recall correctly)
    3)
    if your company allows it, on your PC you can setup your email account to automatically forward all incoming emails to a third party email (like GMail or Hotmail), and then configure BIS to connect to that email provider. You will get push email. You can then setup a reply-to: field.
    4)
    use a Windows Mobile phone that has the ActiveSync feature.

  • Since Belle update: Can't sync phone contacts with...

    This question was asked in the N series boards by someone else but with no reply's, thanks paramasivan for first raising this.  I have an E6 so I'll post the same query here for better luck. 
    Since the update to Belle the "social network" option from the contacts has been removed.
    This means I can't sync my contacts with my friends/contacts from Facebook.  I've logged in and used Nokia Social but there's no option anymore to sync this.
    So how do we sync these again ?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    From another thread on the same topic someone posted these links that worked fine, the second link in particular worked for me.
    Thanks to kamalnm who posted these originally

    I manage all of my email in Outlook, delete email and trash it however the update isn't reflected in the Cloud and\or Apple email.  I have to then open up Apple mail and delete again. 
    Then something is setup incorrectly, which version of OSX are you on, and is this an iCloud mail address (@mac, @me or @icloud)
    From your description of the issue I suspect that it is Outlook that is incorrectly setup.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The app will find and wake the Apple TV when homesharing is properly configured. You will still need the Apple remote should you ever need to set up the Apple TV again though.

  • Can I retrieve contacts that I deleted from an email account on my IPhone that I no longer have access to? I have synced the contacts with my computer and have not synced since I deleted the mail account on my Iphone. Can I still retrieve the contacts?

    This might be a problem as it is a company mail account that I no longer work for.
    Could I...
    Plug iphone into pc and click Restore in iTunes?
    Then using ICloud, retrieve all the data lost in the restore?
