ICloud merge contact in iPad and iMac

Hi, I just set up iCloud on my iMac and iPad
I would like to merge contact and notes
The note on the iMac appear on the iPad but not the other way round.
Contact from iMac and iPad don't merge
Thanks

Please try the following…
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • Syncing Calendar and Contacts between iPad and iMac

    I receive invites to meeting on multiple email accounts (I often have accounts on client site). All invites (to date) are *.ics which as I understand is not supported by Mac (ughhh).
    In any case, I use entourage 2008 on my iMac, I have the latest version of iTunes and the lovely tether that came with my iPad. I also have signed up for a trial of MobileMe.
    All emails end up in Entourage in the iMac where they are automatically placed in the calendar application in Entourage. So if I look at this calendar or my BlackBerry I am up to date!! Awesome.
    Now I have enable calendar and contact sharing in Entourage which I thought would automatically populate iCal (not so). (if anyone know of a great application for ics please share!!)
    As for the MobileMe - I have not figured out how this puppy works yet - I was again hoping that this would automatically update - i.e. a push system.
    When I plug the iPad in to the iMac iTunes opens up (lots of i's - starting to feel narcissistic) - I then ask it to sync my calendar and contacts - at this point it is hit and miss ... it seemed to capture some of the entries one time ... then the second time I did it it captured only the first ones that were already on the iPad and duplicated them - now I have two of each appointment. Same thing happened with music but less important at this point.
    I checked on MobileMe and it also only has the few appointment from the first sync and no new ones ...
    I was hoping someone could provide a "made for dummies" step by step process on how to effectively and automatically as possible sync my iPad (I realize it is not a computer but I have to rationalize the 1000 bucks I spent or the boss (my wife) will not be happy.
    If you could start the process with how to delete all appointments/contacts on my iPad so I can start fresh that would be great!!
    Please do not assume I a actually know too much in the process (as you can see I am a bit of a newbie to syncing)
    Great Appreciation in Advance!!!!

    So I have begun the step by step:
    Notes as I went (I wish we could do screen captures in here ...)
    +*Set up sync from Entourage to iCal and Address Book Set up sync with iTunes or MobileMe, not both.*+
    When I go into sync in entourage it gives me the option to "Synchronize contact with iTunes and MobileMe" (not one or the other just both - I have it checked)
    *+First, on the iMac, run iSync, choose it's preferences, and reset sync services. That cleans up the sync database on the iMac+*
    Reset Sync Service under the Advanced section is "greyed out" and as such I can not activate it? Running V3.02 --- OK turned off Entourage and iSync - when I restarted iSYnc it allowed me to reset.
    +*In Entourage, open Preferences, go to Sync services, and choose to sync the Calendar and Contacts.*+
    It prompts me at this point to Combine, Delete entourage, or Delete iCal and MobileMe (I chose Combine for lack of a better choice)
    +*If you want to use MobileMe, then switch off syncing in iTunes. Open the MobileMe preference pane, and on the sync tab, hit the advanced button and reset again. When asked, choose to overwrite MM with the information on the iMac*+
    I could not find a place in iTunes to turn off syncing? The only thing there was syncing og iPod but it was greyed out.
    Let's try ....
    OK - contacts seem good.
    The caledar is stillhit and miss. I noticed I had created an invite to myself in the calendar - sort of a reminder to do something but still created an invite - this one does not show up and few others that are series not showing up?
    I am closer however and will see how this works ...
    Apple - it would sure be nice if you would just get with the worked on the *.ics files --- this is a huge issue on both the business and consumer side ...

  • How to sync back my contacts from iPad and iMac to iPhone and MacBook

    All my contacts on my macbook and my iPhone got erased but I still have them all of them on my iMac and iPad so I am wondering how to sync them all back to all my devices???
    Can someone help me?
    Best,
    Oscar

    You should be able to copy/move the contacts from your iMac to your MacBook using the migration assistant. It is under Utilities in the Application folder. One they are on both our your computer, just syncing your iPhone and iPad to its respective computer will keep them in sync. I myself also sync my contacts with my Gmail contacts. Doing so will keep your two computer synchronized too.

  • How can I do to have the same contacts in all my devices, pc, iPad and iMac?

    I have severl devices and the last taime I updated my contacts was almos manually. I would Like to be able to have the same contacts in all, pc, iPad, and iMac.
    How can I set it so to get it done through iCloud?
    For instance in my pc ( windows 7 Home Premium ) I use Outlook 2007.
    Thanks for any comment on this.

    switching on iCloud should automatically tell it to merge data with that device and icloud. i'm on a mac but its gotta be the same on all devices and systems.
    when you switch on icloud for Contacts on a PC, it will tell you its merging all contacts with icloud...

    Exchange accounts sync without any 3rd party assistance, just put the same account on all devices (ipad/phone and Mac)

    You need OSX 10.7.2 or higher in order to access icloud.  The mobile me account is now defunct (it closed down more than a year ago).

  • I was moving bookmarks in safari and 2 complete folders have emptied their contents. The folders are still there. I don't have a working time machine and icloud has caused the relevant folders to disappear from all my machines, iPhone, iPad and iMac

    I was moving bookmarks in safari and 2 complete folders have emptied their contents. The folders are still there. I don't have a working time machine and icloud has caused the relevant folders to disappear from all my machines, iPhone, iPad and iMac as well as thge MacBook Air I was working on. HELP!!!

    Hi,
    There is NO need to put your whole questing in the "Questing Heather" therefore you can TYPE here. In the Text window as I did to.
    Now to your questing:
    So, you moved some Bookmarks and now 2 folders are completely empty.
    I think that they dropped in a other folder during dragging the Bookmarks.
    Did you check ALL of you Bookmark folder if they are there?
    If you didn't delete the they have to be still there.

  • My ical is not syncing properly between my ipad and imac

    Since the latest itunes update, the sync between my ipad and imac isn't working properly - when I have checked in the Info section of the Ipad sync bit in itunes, it says that ical and contacts are syncing with icloud - I don't want this and used to specifiy not.  It's important for me to sync the contacts and calendar exactly between my 2 devices, as it used to be.
    Can anyone help, please?
    Thanks, Caroline

    Sign out of iMessage on both devices, then sign back in.

  • If I use the same iCloud account for my ipad and iPhone, will changes I make on one change on the other as well?  I'm not sure of the advantage of using teh same iCloud for both devices.

    If I use the same iCloud account for my ipad and iPhone, will changes I make on one change on the other as well?  I'm not sure of the advantage of using teh same iCloud for both devices.

    No, it only mirrors changes to synced data.  This includes mail, contacts, calendars, reminders, safari bookmarks, notes, iWork documents and data, and photo stream photos (assuming you choose to sync all this data).  Changes to iTunes data such as music, apps, podcasts, etc., are not synced using iCloud.  In your example, if you delete an app from one device it will remain on the other until deleted there too.

  • I did not install icloud when setup my ipad and now I cannot install icloud on ipad 3 with ios 8.1.

    I did not install icloud when setup my ipad and now I cannot install icloud on ipad 3 with ios 8.1.  Everything in Settings is complete and correct.  I can log in from my PC with no trouble.  If I go to icloud.com on Safari on the ipad, it takes me to a instruction page which only says to complete icloud in Settings.

    That's happening because icloud.com is not designed to be viewed from the mobile version of Safari on your iPad, only from your computer browser.*   You can still access it on your iPad if you're running iOS 8 by going to icloud.com, then tapping on the address bar where the url is displayed, tap the center of the screen and drag down, then tap "Request Desktop Site" under the address bar at the top.  This will load the full desktop version of icloud.com.  You'll find, however, that not all of the the features will respond to the touch screen.
    * That's because all of your iCloud data is already on your iPad and can be accessed from within the apps that you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc.)  If you need to use Find My iPhone (iPad), you can download the free Find My iPhone app to do so.

  • How can I synchronize 'Notes' on both my iPad and iMac?

    How can I synchronize 'Notes' on both my iPad and iMac? I have checked the boxes for Notes on iCloud and Yahoo.

    Go to Settings > Messages > Receive At. Use the same Apple ID. Make sure the phone numbers/email addresses you want to receive messages at are checked.

  • I transfered my data from icloud onto my new ipad and one of my games didn't back up as i saved it initially. I have to start all over is this normal

    You can't merge the backups, you'll have to delete the backup of your old phone.  If it says it's currently in use when you try, that will normally clear up on its own but may take 3-5 days to do so.  Give it a few days and try deleting the old backup again.
    In the meantime, you can create a manual backup of your new phone on your computer by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, clicking on the name of your phone in iTuens, going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking Back Up Now.  Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Then you'll be safe until you can start backup up to iCloud again.
