I cannot upload my contacts from my Mac Book to my iPad

I have selected "Sync all contacts" and calendars under the info tab, and every time I hit "Apply", the calendars sync but the contacts folder is empty. Contacts in Address Book are unaffected, thankfully, but I don't know why they don't show up on the iPad. I've checked, and I have the most up to date versions of Lion and iTunes.

I'm having the same problem with iPhone 4 and MacBook Pro. I purposely separated my contacts on the phone from the Mac's address book, but am going to get a new iPhone 5 and I don't want to lose my phone contacts, so I wanted to be sure to sync to the Mac. Doesn't anyone have a solution?
Thanks,

  • My 3G unlocked iPhone is not syncing mail or contacts from my mac book pro, using Lion. I am able to get a calendars and music, only. I get the message that I need to reset the password which I have done 3x's on the phone and on the Apple server.

    Good to know that, but what can I do to get the mail and contacts downloaded from Icloud onto my Iphone?  I am told that the password needs to be reset and I have erased and reset it 3x's already? Should I Restore All Settings or Restore Network Settings or will that result in a situation where I have to have it re-unlocked again? GRACIAS!

    Hey obadm,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    What version of BlackBerry Desktop Software are you using on the Mac?  Also go to Device>Forget Data and close down BlackBerry Desktop Software and re-open the application and then try the synchronization.

  • My new ipad Mini will not sync with my contacts from my Mac?

    Please help, I have tried many things but nothing fixes that fact that I cannot get my contacts to sync from my Mac across to my iPad mini.

    I fixed my own problem - so excited...  On the iPad go to settings then mail, contacts, calendars opened icloud and turned on icloud on for contacts.  Re-synced iPad with Mac and *hey presto* all my contacts are there.

  • How do I upload the contacts from my iPhone 5S to the Bluetooth device on my Toyota RAV4.  The car manual says to consult the phone's bluetooth instruction manual, but I don't have one.

    How do I upload the contacts from my iPhone 5S to the Bluetooth device on my Toyota RAV4?  The car manual says to consult the phone's Bluetooth instruction manual, but I don't have a manual for that.

    That is very strange... I wonder if it has something to do with the firmware or some sort of error. I haven't ran into this but at the shop I work at I've ran into several firmware errors on iPhone 4 all the way through the 5s. Maybe its something as simple as putting a different part of the code into iTunes... I know you can something of this extent. I would look up error 1669, I know you have tried a number of things but look it up on the forum and see what fixes are available so that you may be able to restore it properly without all this garbage you are running into. Just a thought for you.

  • Cannot upload any images from iPhone 4 to Macbook Pro. Please help!

    Hi all,
    I'm pretty much tearing my hair out with this one, I don't know what to do - I simply cannot upload any photos from iPhone 4 to Macbook Pro.
    This problem appeared out of the blue. I am trying to upload to iPhoto - not working. I have clearing the cache - not working. Tried the Dropbox app - not working and the option has now disappeared altogether. Tried Image Capture - not working. I went and had my iPhone replaced altogether - still not working. I thought it might be a problem with my iPhone or a problem with the back-ups or sometthing so I plugged in my boyfriend's to scope it out - still not working. I have restarted all devices many times. I have read through posts and posts about this and cannot find an answer.
    iPhoto says: unreadable files - unrecognized format - not true!!
    Image Capture just says there is an error importing.
    Any help would be much appreciated - it's driving me mad!
    Thank you!

    Just to double check you tried everything see if this link helps http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

  • How to upload an ebook from a mac to an ipad

    How do I upload an eBook from my Mac to my iPad? I know it has something to do with iToons, but the user interface of that is so confusing.

    If the eBook was purchased thru the iTunes Store or similar online service, might be faster to just connect with the iPad and re-download directly. Apple and at least O'Reilly let you download onto several devices. That way it will end up managed by the right app, iBooks presumably.
    Else you would have to set up the latest iTunes program on your computer, ensure the eBook shows up in the Purchased Books tab and then sync the iPad with iTunes.

  • Can't upload any files from my mac to the Internet

    I am new to Macbook, and this obviously never happened before
    So, the problem is:
    I can't upload any files from my Mac anywhere (Facebook, Instagram, etc)
    I can't attach files to e-mails.
    any files that are on my desktop, folders - they just turn in grey and I can't choose them.
    The only way I can do it is by going to "ALL FILES" where I have to search through all the files that are on my Mac
    Keep in mind that this is a glitch, because earlier it was all fine and normal
    To see what I mean I am uploading a skreen shot of attemp of uploading files to Fb.
    Can anybody help? Can it be some sort of virus?

    Okay I had the same problem but I figured it out.  When you go to choose file, all the links are greyed out.  Use two fingers simulatiously and click down on the file you want, then choose "quick look" from the option menu.  This will open a preview of your document and make the open button usable.  Close the preview, and then select the open button. 
    The site I was trying to use says it only supports IE, so maybe that is what causes the problem.
    Hope it works for you!
