I can't get my contacts to sync to my "restored to new" iPad. Can you help? Thanks.

I had to restore my iPad because I couldn't get it to read the sim card. I was told to restore it to new, not from a back up. Now I'm trying to get everything back on it and I can't get my contacts to go. Any ideas for me?

i can sync my music and photos, but can't get my contacts to sync? anybody
know how to do this? thanks,

Have you Enable the Media Sharing on your Router setup page? To enable media sharing on your Router login to the router setup page and click on the Storage tab and below click on the sub tab "Media Sharing" and click on "Specify the Folder" and then add the video folder and click on save settings..
Once done now you can try to scan for video folder on your PS3 and check.

Can't get all contacts to sync with Outlook 2007,

I've been trying this for a year and I've had no success. This 8900 is my 4th Blackberry. While I've done backups with the others this is the first time I've tried to sync the info. When I first synced I thought everything was OK, but then I noticed a lot of the contacts didnt sync. A lot of iportant ones. I've tried everything and hit a wall. I've gone thru all the 395 contacts, deleted a bunch, fixed a bunch and made everything ready. I've talked to Microsoft, AT&T and the BB folks and still nothing. When I synced it to my PC, 179 of 395 synced and the Outlook folder size is 297kb. I just synced to my laptop and only 124 synced and the folder size is 120kb. I checked the options on the 8900 contact list and it shows my gmail address as the name of my Contact list. I've NEVER loaded my gmail info on this or any other BB. I checked my gmail and there are NO contacts listed. Never have been. I followed the instructions, went to Default Services and there is no Contacts option, only Calendar and Messaging which have my primary email ([email protected]) as the services. I have loaded info for the Netzero email, Roadrunner email and Blackberry email. Did load the Yahoo account name but never connected it. Just checked the service books and there is no gmail info. There'sno option to rename the contact list and I can't see if there are any subfolders under it. I HAVE TO GET ALL THIS INFO TO A PLACE WHERE I CAN ACCESS IT TO TRANSFER TO A NEW NON-BLACKBERRY PHONE. I've literally spent hours researching, talking on the phone and it is still not working. I lost 3 days on it this we3ek that I was supposed to be on the other coast of Florida visiting a High School beauty thats down for a week, a cousin that's fighting cancer and a musician friend. I worked on the highest problem parts of the Space Shuttle Boosters and worked thru some seemingly impossible problems. As a result I had a mental breakdown and now have to depend on othersm whicdh I never did before. Seems like everybody that could help or might have info isn't sharing. I CAN'T BE THE FIRST PERSON THAT'S HAD THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Lead, follow, or get out of the way!

I found out, that the problem what we have is our Public Folder Structure in the company. We have more as 40'000 public folders in this structure.
Now i find out that when i start my Outlook in a offline modus i can selct my special folder after i press the "Select Folder" button.
When i try the same thing in online modus the PC-Suite hangs...
The only combinations that i see is the Public Folder.
I try a test in the evening: I push the button "Select Folder" and have run my PC over the Night. On the next morning the Window was appear.
Also was is my problem the Public Folder Structure that the PC-Suite scans after i push the button "select Folder"

Can't get 2 games to sync from my laptop to second ipad

I have 2 new games bought from i tunes and they are both on my laptop and 1 ipad but i can't get the games to go onto my other sons ipad, the games are downloaded but won't come up on second ipad, any help please i've been trying for hours

Is your other son's iPad signed into the same Apple ID that you are using in iTunes on the computer? Are there any restrictions enabled on his iPad preventing apps from installing?
Are the games selected to sync in iTunes?
Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Apps Tab on the right.
Click on the two games that you want to sync.
Click on the Sync Apps Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

TS1814 On my ipod 4g I locked it with a forgotten password (I mistyped a letter so now I can't get in) and now I want to restore it so I can get back in. Whenever I try to click 'Restore' in Itunes, that same message will pop up, but I'm connected.

If I try to update or restore it, a message pops up saying, "The Ipod software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." How can I fix this? I really don't care about losing my data, cause I can just re-sync my songs and videos, and all my pictures are saved on a flash-drive. I just need a way to be able to restore my ipod and get rid of that passcode without using the actual ipod, because I can't get in anyways. How can I do this? Also, I'm not sure which IOS I have. All I know is that it's below 5.0.0. I think it might be IOS 4.0.0, I'm not sure.

Hello Terri_B,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I want to re-install my Pre-Installed Lion Macbook Pro, but I can't get the Lion OS from App Store with my Apple ID. Please help, thanks!

Hi, I want to do a clean re-installation of my end 2011 Macbook Pro which comes with pre-installed Lion OS. I go through the installation steps and after App Store verified my Apple ID, it prompted me that I did not purchase the Lion OS. I am very surprise to see this message which my pre-installed Lion Macbook Pro should have it. Please help and advise how can I get the OS? All other bundle softwares were in the purchase record except the Lion OS.

That was my mistake - sorry - it IS Command-R to boot to the Recovery disk, not Command-D: I either just hit the wrong key or am just now coming awake from my nap.
Let me see if I can just explain it in a few steps - I don't know of any link (but it would make a good User Tip):
Create an up-to-the minute back-up of your internal hard drive using an external hard drive and Time Machine.
Boot to your recovery partion - holding down Command-R on boot.
Use Disk Utility to erase Macintosh HD - use one GUID partition and format as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". Unless you're selling the machine, there's no need to do a secure erase (which can take hours).
After you erase the disk, re-install Lion from the same Recovery partition.
After installation is complete, reboot, again holding down the Command-R keys to boot into the Recovery Partition.
Restore your Time Machine back-up. This could take several hours.
Reboot after restore and you're back in business.
That should take care of everything - all you need is an Internet connection.
Call back if I didn't explain things too well - at least I got the Command-R right this time!

Bento on older iPad. How can I get the information from the older Bento to another newer iPad?

I have an older iPad that I developed some Bento Libraries. I have a newer iPad and iPad Mini. I would like to have the libraries I developed for the older iPad on my new ones. I thought syncing would do it but not so. Any ideas would be appreciated.

It all depends on what kind of email account you have. IMAP accounts (e.g. Gmail) will sync folders across devices. Exchange accounts will as well. POP3 accounts (e.g. AOL, Comcast, Verizon) will not sync folders. What kind of email account do you have? Consult your email provider if you're not sure. If it's POP3, see if they have an IMAP option.

HT1688 I have a new iphone 5. I can not get my contact to sync with icloud on my iMac. I have an msn account for email.

I have an imac with OS X 10.8.2 and an iphone 5. i have AT&T service and msn email account. My contacts and calendar are not syncing with icloud! I have all the settings adjusted correctly and I can not figure out why it won't sync.

iPhones running iOS 6 require iTunes 10.7, which requires OS X 10.6.8 or later. You will have to upgrade OS X, then download the latest version of iTunes.
You can copy your iTunes library to the new machine either manually, or you can use the migration assistant built into OS X to transfer the entire account. Up to 5 computers can be activated using the same iTunes account.

How can I get my contacts/calendars sync'd properly on Mac and iphone?

I've set up WIFI sync and finally can see podcasts on iphone etc but my contacts and calendars are not syncing between these two. I have contacts added on my phone that are not showing up on my computer and vice versa. And I have multiple calendars on my Mac that aren't showing up on the iPhone 3GS. I have to sync my ipad 2 with all of this but don't want to do this until the sync'ing is worked out between iphone and Mac. Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks!

How can I get my contacts to sync to my iMac properly?

I have Contacts on my iPhone looking perfect. Some are from or linked to Facebook, some not, but they are all set to sync with iCloud. This works well, except on my iMac where the contacts are a bit different. For example, there are entries in the iMac Contacts app that aren't on my iPhone.
The bottom line is: I want to wipe out my iMac contacts and replace it with what's on my iPhone and keep them forever locked in step thereafter.
Help appreciated!

This turned out pretty poorly. Probably my fault– and in my opinion Apple's for making this such a nightmare.
Here's what I did:
1. Skipped this step
2. The contacts look right on iCloud.com, however none of the Facebook friends show up there and I'm not sure if they're even linked to Facebook data. Nevertheless, I created the vCard for everyone there.
3. I disabled Contacts sync in the iCloud preference pane. It asked do I want to keep contacts on the mac or remove them. I thought it wouldn't matter, so I just said keep. After that, the number of contacts on my iMac increased to 299. No idea.
4. I decided to back up a vCard for my iMac contacts as well. Then I deleted them all. Funny thing is– somehow iCloud Contacts sync had re-enabled itself. Down to 70 contacts on my iPhone.
5. I imported the iCloud.com vCard
6. I re-enabled Contacts sync and nothing happened. I had to drag all the contacts into the "All iCloud" group before everything reappeared.
At this stage, I now have 300 contacts on my iMac, 294 on my iPhone and 293 on iCloud.com. I have not yet investigated or reconciled this.
As a test sample, I reexamined the situation with my brother and father. On the iMac, iPhone and iCloud, there is now just one entry for each. However, my brother's Facebook data is now linked to my Dad's card. (If you'll recall, the iPhone was originally correct while the iMac had my father's iCloud data linked to my brother's card.) Amusing if it weren't so gosh darn aggravating.
More disconcertingly, many of my contacts on the iPhone which had been linked with Facebook are no longer linked. I tried relinking one, at which point, it looked correct, except the iPhone has this one contact linked to iCloud twice. It might be easier to delete everything and just go door to door to each of my contacts.
EDIT: And after I copied the data over from one of the two iCloud cards for that contact to the other, I deleted one of the iCloud cards. The remaining one has all the info, but that person's card has completely disappeared from the iMac.

I can't get my iphone4 to sync with itunes on Windows XP. Can anyone help me?

Is it not possible to do this on Windows XP?
I turned off my antivirus, and firewall.
I've tried authorizing my computer, but it just sits there and and tried to connect to itunes for hours and nothing happens.
It won't enable home sharing.
It won't sync my phone saying "there is a problem syncing" this iphone. (I read somewhere to make sure you had "sync phone turned on" but I've been unable to find that on my phone in itunes or under settings, or on itunes on my iphone.
I'm a novice to this, I'll admit, so I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
I plug in the phone. I tunes comes up automatically and starts running all by itself. Step 1, step 2. Then it wants to authorize my computer, and it won't go any further.
If I don't plug in the phone, turn it on, it doesn't work. If I don't plug in the phone, THEN plug it in and try it, it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?
Can anyone help me?

The iphone will sync itunes content and pics with one computer at a time.
Sycning to another will erase the current content from the iphone.
Copy everything (contacts/calendars/pics/files/docs/itunes content/etc) from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

How do I get my contacts to sync using iCloud for iPhone and iPad.

I can sync my pictures using icloud on my iPhone and my iPad however when I try to do the same for contacts having no luck. Also when I type a callander event on my iPad it comes up on my phone however when I type entry on iPad on calendar it does not come up on my phone.. Can anyone help.

Yes I agree with iamjeremie above. I am a newbie and had some trouble with this myself over last few days but now sorted.
You can also select existing cal entries, edit them and change calendar to correct one (iCloud cal in your case). Yes you need to set iCloud cal as default in settings. Also it may be worth disabling other unused or unwanted calendars in other accounts if you only want to use iCloud. Make sure to accept the prompt and save existing entries to device when disabling accounts so you do not loose or switch off your existing entries. Less confusing that way. Remember you can change entries to another cal in the future if you wish.
Keep it simple. I now have 2 calendars set up on iPhone and one on iPad.
Exchange cal for work. On exchange server at work and work stuff syncs with windows PC and server at work.
Hotmail cal for personal stuff that syncs with work iPhone, home PC and personal iPad.
I would have used iCloud for all but work iPhone and personal iPad are on separate iCloud accounts.
This was a work around and works great for me and enables me to enter synced personal cal entries on my work iPhone.

I can't get AIM to send out texts messages on my new iPad. Says unable to connect, any suggestions? It's an iPad 2 wifi... Thanks

Have a new iPad2 wifi- trying to text using the AIM app, keeps saying "unable to connect" any suggestions? Thanks

Katie-
I assume you already have an AIM account, and have entered the correct user name and password in the AIM App.
This sounds similar to a problem where the iPad connects to your WiFi, but can't reach the internet. It could be a compatibility problem with your WiFi router.
You can try resetting the iPad's network. Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. You will then need to reconnect to your WiFi.
Another thing to try is to reboot the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Rebooting will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.
