HT4623 How to sync iCloud with iPhone 3G & MacBook Pro

HELP!  Having serious syncing problems with iCloud
Problem 1: Syncing my iPhone 3G (calendar and contacts) and MacBook Pro with iCloud - All accounts are "enabled"
Problem 2: Contacts appearing in duplication on my iMac Contacts and iPhone (when it was syncing)

Probem 1: I assume you have a 3GS, not a 3G since the 3G can't run iOS 5 and thus can't use iCloud.  Assume that's true, exactly what happens that causes you to believe that it isn't syncing?
Problem 2:  Duplicates are caused by trying to sync your contacts with both iTunes and iCloud.  You have to pick one, not both.  If you want to sync with iCloud, uncheck sync contacts on the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync your phone.  (Same is true for calendars.)

    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • What setting will make sync make my iPhone and MacBook Pro contact cards alike?

    What setting will make sync make my iPhone and MacBook Pro contact cards alike?  I've been having to key in changes to both devices because sync doesn't sync. 

    If you really are running Mac OS X 10.7.5 and iOS 6.1.3, you should be able to sync through iTunes, but in current releases you need to use a central contact service like iCloud.
    Did you have it working and then not working, or have you never had it working?
    Are you trying to use iTunes, iCloud, or something else?

  • How to sync contacts and calendar from macbook pro to ipad 2?

    How do I sync contacts and calendar from macbook pro to ipad2?

    I have the same problem and have not been able to get contacts transferred from my MacBook Pro to my iPad 2.  I have checked "sync contacts", when it does the sync it says it is syncing contacts, but the address book on the iPad remains empty.  I tried checking the box under "advanced" that says to replace the contacts information on the iPad, sync again, same result—an empty address book on the iPad.  Any suggestions?

  • How to use icloud with iphone

    I am very confused on how to sync or use my cloud on my Mac with my new IPhone 5S.  I have all the settings on the phone correct.  On the Mac, under Preferences, there is no "cloud" item for me to choose to set up, only mobile me and I get error if clicking it.  I do have a cloud "folder" listed on the sidebar menu under Finder along with Desktop, Our Name, Applications, Cloud Drive, Documents.  However, there is nothing in the cloud and I have my phone set to upload everything.
    I've even looked in IPhoto and there is only a mobile me icon, which does nothing if I click it.  I don't see a way to upload pictures.
    I also have a symbol that looks like a cloud across the top menu where the volume button is, but it doesn't do anything if you try to click it.
    I just purchased my IPhone and would like to share my pictures on my Mac.  How can I do this?  Thank you so much for any help you can share.
    I also believe it is the same Apple ID account for both.  I input the information in my phone to set it up.

    Here lies your issue... OS X 10.6.8 = Snow leopard is too Old for iCloud.
    However... you can access iCloud.com using Safari in Snow Leopard.

  • 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

  • Sync icloud with iphone after directly entering an appointment on phone

    When I enter an appointment directly on my iphone to my calendar it does not sync to my outlook. It will work the other way around. Enter directly into outlook and iclould will sync to my iphone calendar.

    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>scroll down to the Calendars section and tap Default Calendar.  Here confirm that you have selected your Outlook calendar and not, for example, the calendar under On My iPhone.  If you make a change, enter a new event on your phone and confirm that it sync to Outlook correctely.

  • How do i Sync Notes from iPhone to MacBook Pro?

    In Lion I connected my iPhone to my MacBook Pro and then it auto sync Notes to my e-mail account.
    Now after I got Mountain Lion it's not auto sync of Notes anymore and I wonder what I must do to achieve this?
    What's on Notes today are old notes that I had before I'v got the Mountain Lion.
    I'm not excited to go via iCloud, but if there is another detour I have to bite the sour apple.

    If you dont mind me asking, why dont you wnt to do this with iCloud (it couldnt be any easier) -System preferences/icloud/ check Notes.

  • Contacts sync with iPhone, iPad & MacBook Pro but not calendar won't

    OK, so on my iPhone and iPad I have software V 6.1.3, my MacBook Pro 10.8.3. I can get contacts to sync with all 3 but the calendar nothing wants to sync.

    OK, I made a change to calendar on MacBook Pro and it syncd with iPad & the iPhone. I deleted it on the iPad and it syncd with the MacBook but not the phone. So apparently the problem is between the iPhone & the iPad.

    I accidentally had my iPhone "forget" my MacBook Pro bluetooth connection, and I need it to reappear to resynchronize. My iPhone shows up as discoverable on my MacBook Pro, but it is not connected. When I have my bluetooth on on my iPhone 4S, the MBP doesn't appear in the list of my bluetooth devices.

    Two ways to do this ...

    Or, if you want to sync your music between the iPhone and iPad to your Mac automatically via Wi-Fi, use iCloud >  Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
