  • Hoy can i syncronize my iPhone agenda with my IPad agenda through the iCloud?, some contacts from the iPad don't exist in my iPhone.

    Hoy can i syncronize my iPhone agenda with my IPad agenda through the iCloud?, some contacts from the iPad don't apear in my iPhone, and some of them are incompleted.

    No. You can set up as a new device or restore from iCloud or iTunes. It looks like you backed up with iTunes, so you can't restore with iCloud. To backup your device in iCloud, go to Settings > iCloud and activate it

  • How can I transfer the contacts from my ipad to my itouch ?

    How can I transfer the contacts from my ipad to my itouch?

    Precisely what adami said. Hook up your ipad to your computer. Under 'info' choose to sync contacts. That will put them on your computer. Then plug in your Touch and choose the same, to sync contacts with the computer, and they'll transfer.
    Alternatively you can go into each contact and choose to 'share' it and mail it to an account that you can access on your Touch, then open it and save it. Upside, no computer needed, downside, it's a bit tedious.
    Theoretically you can also use iCloud, however the cloud ate my contacts so I'm not syncing via the cloud for that anymore. Your experience might be different, but I personally would avoid the cloud unless you've got them all backed up somewhere in case the cloud eats yours too.

  • HT1438 i can't open some programs from my ipad anymore

    i can't open some programs from my ipad anymore, not even the general setting; and i can't update to higher version of the softwear, currently it's  5.1.1.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • Can't delete SOME photos from my iPad Photo Album

    Hello there,
    I need a bit of help.  I'm using an iPad 2 OS 6.0.1.
    There's a few photos that I'm not able to delete from my Photos folder.
    I click on the Photos App
    Then click on Edit
    I then get the option to put check marks on the photos.  At that point I can click on the Delete button and delete SOME of them, but not all.
    It's strage because some of the ones I can't delete, just seem to be duplicates of some of the ones I CAN delete.
    In the past, I was syncing my iPad to my computer.  Since moving to the iCloud, I've stopped plugging my iPad into any computer.  I've read some message boards that say that this is because those photos were added by syncing to the laptop and that in order to remove them, you have to re-sync to the laptop. 
    One BIG issue is, that laptop is now not functioning.  Assuming these photos were added through that laptop, is there a way to remove them without syncing to that laptop?  Also, why would there be some duplicates.  Would it have been an error in the sync process that created the dups?
    I'm thinking MAYBE the answer is going to be to sync the iPad to my NEW laptop.  If that's the answer, is that safe to do without risk of losing stuff?  (music, movies, apps, app data, settings)
    Thanks,
    Bill

  • I can't synchronize the contacts from my ipad to my macbook pro

    If someone can give me some advice

    I am having a similar issue. ipad was working fine last night but this morning will not connect to wifi network. wifi is okay as am using it on my laptop. I have turned router on/off dozens of times, have disconnected all cables, unplugged form power, reset my ipad to factory settings, deleted my network and set up again, still no luck, airplane mode is off etc etc. very annoying...

  • I can't delete some podcasts from my ipad

    how do i delete podcasts from my ipad? swipe left, then press delete where? unsubscribe doesn't seem to work. thanks

    If you disable syncing for the podcast in iTunes, it should be removed from the device.
    If not, go into the Music app, open the Podcasts category, tap the posdcast you wish to remove, and then swipe across each episode to delete it. Once all episodes are removed, the podcast should no longer show up in the listing.

  • I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago avaiable.  Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore which i assume will literally delete any new contacts added...?

    I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I recently sold my macbook air and also my mac book pro, so have no recent backups avaiable.  I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago available on an external hdd as a time machine backup.  Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore?  The reason i wish to do this is because in the update i didnt lose any messages, so all of the people i have met and networked with since that last update those many months ago, i have in my messages listings.  They are all unidentified numbers at present but over time i will be able to work through the messages and based on the conversation recall who each was with.  Also, yesterday, some two weeks after the update had left my contacts list entirely empty... a vast majority just reappeard, though all of them are without any phone numbers, all just emails or facebook contacts.  This is the work of facebook not mac/ios6 isnt it...?  Any help here would be greatly apprecaited.  I am about 2 days from flying to canada and having those contacts would make life a lot easier.

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

  • TS4036 I purchased an iphone for my daughter and we are using the same account and she deleted some contacts from her phone and they were deleted off of my contacts as well. Is there a way to use icloud backup to reinstall the contacts to my phone?

    I purchased an iphone for my daughter and we are using the same account and she deleted some contacts from her phone and they were deleted off of my contacts as well. Is there a way to use icloud backup to reinstall the contacts to my phone?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can only restore them from a Computer backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
    Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.

    If you are syncing your iPad with your computer, one way to delete all your contacts might be to connect the iPad to the computer, then in iTunes select the iPad in the sidebar. Once you've done that, go to the Info tab. Uncheck the box for syncing Contacts, then in the lower right, hit Apply. All the Contacts on your iPad will be gone.
    You haven't asked for solutions to use Snow Leopard with iCloud, but there are some solutions for Mail, Address Book and Calendar.

  • Can't phone all contacts from Mac with Yosemite.

    I can't phone all contacts from my Mac with Yosemite. Some of the audio icons are greyed out. Any solutions?

    hmmmm....*strokes beard*
    I'm assuming you want to transfer all your contacts between sim and phone memory all at once.
    to do this, go to contacts on your phone then select "options", then select "Mark\Unmark". You then get a little side menu. in this side menu select "Mark All". all you phone contact should now have ticks next to them. Now Press "Options" again and now you should have the option to "Copy to sim Directory". and from sim to phone do this in reverse.
    Peace out

    If your Nokia comes with some sort of software that you can sync with Adddressbook or something else, or can export as comma or tab delimated then you do that then import that file into address book on your mac.
    then sync from iTunes to your new 4S

  • Why can't i send or receive text messages to some users from my iPad while there is no problem texting them from my iPhone?

    Why can't I send or receive text messages to some users from my iPad mini while there is no problem texting them from my iPhone?

    With the Apple iMessage app, You can only Message with other iOS users - iPads, iPod Touch, iPhone users and Macs running Mountain Lion or higher. With your iPhone, you can send standard SMS text messages to any phone, including Android phones.
    The iPad cannot send SMS messages or receive them either.
