I cannot sync my MacBook Pro address book (Mac OS X Version 10.5.8) with my iPad that has iCloud. Please help.

I cannot sync my MacBook Pro address book (Mac OS X Version 10.5.8) with my iPad, that has iCloud. I can get my music and photos to sync, but not my address book or calendar. I have tried turning off iCloud, but that does not work. Please help.

You may install Snow Leopard OS, maximize the RAM to 8 GB and install a larger HDD, or spend a lot of money and install a SSD.
Ciao.

How do I sync from ical and address book to office for mac 2011

How do I sync from ical and address book to office for mac 2011 in outlook? icloud is turned on, sync is turned on in outlook and in itunes. Email working fine in outlook, but no contact or calendar information. Microsoft said it is an Apple issue. They said icloud is not compatible with Outlook. I have OS Lion if you need to know that.

How can I sync contacts in my address book to my iPod Touch 2nd Generation with iTunes 10.5.2?

My iPod Touch with OS 4.2.1 will no longer sync contacts from my address book on my computer now that I've upgraded to iTunes 10.5.2 and to Lion. I have ensured that the iPod Touch is set to synchronize all my contacts. The calendar continues to sync.

I have the same situation. I believe I disconnected iCloud by going into preferences and also unclicking the box for Contacts. What am I missing?

How do I sync my MacBook Pro with my iMac?

Hey everyone, I have the following situation:
I have an iMac, a Macbook Pro, iTunes Match and a Time Capsule. I produce music and I DJ and I want my two computers in sync, so that I have the music projects I do on my iMac on my Macbook to work on them on the fly and the songs I buy on my Macbook on my iMac for safekeeping. Both these options should of course should work both ways, so the changes update.
The problem with the music production is that I cannot simply migrate my iMac to my Macbook, I need to individually install the applications again, therefore I probably cannot sync the Macs in their entirety, but folders only.
Any suggestions? If there is a way to do it with time machine, it would come in handy since I already own a functioning time capsule, however I would rather only update one of the two macs since I work with a lot of data and it can only contain 3TB.
Thank you very much indeed!

Synchronizing data between devices is a complex issue, and there's no really ideal solution. This comment is an oversimplification.
Mail can be synchronized by storing it on a mail server that uses the IMAP protocol, such as iCloud. The mail stays on the server, so it's automatically in sync with all mail clients.
Several other kinds of data can be synced via iCloud, such as calendars, iWork documents, photos, Safari tabs and bookmarks, and keychains. Some third-party applications can also sync with iCloud, but not many. iCloud is easy to use, for the most part. The drawbacks of using it are, first, that it doesn't sync everything; and second, that some of your private information will be in the hands of strangers. Read the iCloud feature list and privacy notice carefully before deciding whether or how to use it. There should be no privacy concerns with iCloud keychain, because the data is encrypted end-to-end and is not accessible to anyone at Apple—but you have to take Apple's word for that.
A more comprehensive solution, and one that doesn't raise any privacy issues, is to set up an OS X Server on your network and create mobile accounts on your other Macs. You will then be able to synchronize all files in the home folder automatically at logout, or at any other time manually. The main drawback here is that OS X Server would be hard for most non-technical users to set up and maintain. Another is that the synchronization only works with Macs, not mobile devices.
Third-party software such as Unison can also be used to synchronize files over a network. Unison is free, but it's not easy to set up in a way that doesn't lead to conflicts when files are modified on different devices between synchronizations. To synchronize more than two Macs in this way, you'll want to use one as the master, and sync between it and the others.

How to sync contact list and yahoo contact list and macbook pro address book without mobile me

How does one merge the contents of my verizon iphone contact list and my macbook address book and my yahoo contact list and have ongoing syncing without mobile me? thanks

THANK YOU! I have been using companion link up until you posted this. This makes it so much easier to keep my business contacts on my phone. Much faster too!

Blackberry curve 8320 and MacBook pro address book issue.....

I have a BB Curve 8320 and MacBook pro and am currently using PocketMac for synching. My address book contacts have all been copied onto my blackberry except for the e mail field on each of the contacts. Very strange- names, addresses, phone numbers- all okay...no e mails???? Any thoughts. No other issues also with calendar synchs, etc.

How can I sync two sources in address book 5.0?

I love the new exchange support in Snow Leopard, this helps me keep my exchange contacts at work up to date.
I would like to know how I can synchronize my exchange contacts with my local contacts which I have synchronized with GMail thanks to the new GMail synchronization feature provided with Address Book 5.0.
I can't synch my phone (Sony Ericsson Z750i) with my apple but I can synch it at work, keeping all these sources the same would be absolutely fantastic.

abook.,mab is the personal address book... but don't be to sure your Norton product even backs up Thunderbird.... Microsoft promised their transfer wizard transferred your mail and it only does Microsoft Mail programs unless you edit it's advanced settings.

New iPhone 4, How do I sync contact photos of address book on Mac to the iPhone contacts?

I have a new iPhone 4s, Cloud. I have Mac with Cloud now. Photos added to Mac address book do not always sync into the contacts of the iPhone 4s. Ideas of what I need to do to get photos to show up on the iPhone contacts?

Connect the device to the computer.
In iTunes, select the content desired to sync.
Sync.
This is all described in the User's Guide, reading it may be a good place to start.

MacBook Pro Address Book

I opened my address book today and it was empty except my card and Apples card. I went to ".Mac" and hoped the backup would restore it. It too looks empty. What could cause this and how can I restore all of the info?
Thanks,
Lazair64

Welcome to the discussions, Lazair64.
I don't know what causes it (though I suspect it is related to synchronising) but this sometimes helps:
Quit Address Book. In folder ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook drag file AddressBook.data to the desktop. Rename AddressBook.data.previous to AddressBook.data and restart AB. If your contacts are back shout "Hallelulia". If not, quit AB again and repeat the drag/rename process, this time with AddressBook.data.beforesave.
If you get your contacts back, now is probably a good time to use the AB menu item File/Back up Address Book.

How do I sync changes to my address books and emails between two computers?

I have a desktop and laptop. I want to be able to synchronize my changes between the two computers. For instance when I add a new contact or delete email from my desktop I want those changes to be synced on the laptop. I have three email addresses which are all POP accounts.

Email? Use IMAP. Your current POP-based service is fundamentally unsuited to your needs.
Contacts are not so easy. You need a common central data store that all your installed address books can synchronize with. Google Contacts is one such, but there are difficulties in that it and Thunderbird handle street addresses differently. I use gContactSync to synchronize Thunderbird with Google and for the most parts it's quite satisfactory. Where I have trouble is with a Blackberry, but the Blackberry phone has various other issues that lead me to think that Blackberry coding is not of the highest quality.
Another (and non-google) solution is this add-on:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/addressbooks-synchronizer/
which can sync your address books to a variety of different resources, including a folder in an email account. So this is fine between various installations of Thunderbird, but probably can't reach out to other devices or email clients. I haven't tried it with an ftp server yet; if you are able to run your own then this may offer the best way of using this add-on.
I think a cause for concern is that Thunderbird's Address Book use a "flat file" format, where each address book is stored within a single file. So one small minor change to one Contact potentially necessitates the whole file (address book) being updated, leading to large and therefore slow transfers between Thunderbird and the relevant server.
