IPad won't sync all my contacts from address book?

I've sync'd my iPad a few times in an attempt to get all my contact from the Address book, but it will only sync 35 f them and not the 130+ I have in address book.
Any ideas on that one?

I have the weirdest thing going. I create a contact on my iPad, sync with my Airbook, it does not show up in the Airbook but is still in the iPad. Then I sync with my iPhone and guess what, it appears in the iPhone but still not in the Airbook.
Does not matter which ticks I click in iTunes, same thing happens over and over.
I had moved to iCloud 2 weeks ago but it started doing the same thing Mobile-Me used to do and so I turned everything off.
I can't figure this one out, heading over to the Genius bar. Last time I went with a similar problem in the Calendar they told me Lion still had a few issues and that after a certain number of syncs, the entire libraries need to be physically erased and reinstalled.

  • Did anyone else lose all their contacts from address book after the Lion upgrade? ...and how do I get them back?

    I seem to have lost all my contacts from my address book after the Lion upgrade.  I am a mobileme user and since it sync's with my MacBook Pro it erased all of by contacts.  How do I retrieve my missing information?
    MacBook Pro mid 2010, just upgraded to Lion and iPhone 4.

    yes, i did too.. will probably just try to restore them from the iphone sync.

  • Ipad won't sync all my photos from new mac

    I have an original i-pad which used to sync all photos from my old mac - now I have a new mac and only some of the photos will sync with ipad - some photos are old and some are recent so it;s not an age thing.  Have updated ipad software and that hasn't solved the problem.

    What Dah•veed said.
    I've had this problem for weeks now, and only just found that solution last night. There were over 400 photos that wouldn't sync. The only (unavoidable) downside is that your cache has to be rebuilt. If (like us) you have thousands of photos on your device, it can take quite sometime to rebuild. Close to an hour for each of our phones--we don't have exactly the same photos. I'm really not sure how long the second one took becuase we just let it sync and went to bed :-)

    HOW CAN I SYNC ALL MY CONTACTS FROM MY IPHONE TO ICLOUD?

    Go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account if you haven't already done so, turn Contacts on and choose Merge with iCloud when prompted.  If you are syncing contacts from an external account (Gmail, Yahoo, exchange, etc.) you will need to take additional steps to add them.  Let me know if that's the case.

  • Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly.  Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync.  Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.

    Solutions?

    No, I never really found an easy solution.  I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device.  In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs.  A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup.  It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad.  But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost.  When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might.  If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
    None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it.  I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
    Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.

  • How can I delete all my contacts in Address Book?

    I had syncing issues between my Entourage 2008 contacts, my Address Book contacts, and the PowerMac for Blackberry application. As a reference, I have around 5,000 contacts. I have solved the issue, but there is some collateral damage: read on.
    Address Book duplicated my contacts two or three times, and it also created around 60,000 empty contacts. I have been able to clean the Entourage contacts, which only suffered from duplication but not from new empty entries.
    I tried to delete the Address Book duplicate and empty entries. The easy way out, I thought, was to Select All and delete. It does not work. Given I have ended with around 80,000 contacts, after I Select All, and try to delete, the program hangs, and I have to Force Quit the Address Book application.
    I tried to locate the Address Book file where contacts are stored, but I have not found an obvious name that would point to it, nor have I read anything about such file in the different discussion forums. So no success on this.
    I have even used scripts in the past for deleting duplicates and merging contacts in Entourage, but I have not found one for Address Book that could take care of the massive number of empty entries with "No Name".
    So, is there a way to delete all my contacts in Address Book?

    There are two possibilities you can try:
    1. Delete all your duplicate entries. You can try downloading and running this Applescript Remove Duplicates, which will create a group named Duplicates in Address Book, from which you should be able to delete those entries, by selecting the Group, then in the next column to the Right, select all the entries and choose Delete Cards from the Edit menu.
    2. If that doesn't work, you can do this:
    1. Quit Address Book if it's running.
    2. Go to ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook and delete an of these files/folders you find there:
    • ABPerson.skIndex
    • ABPerson.skIndexInverted
    • Address Book - xxxxx.abbu
    • AddressBook.data
    • AddressBook.data.beforesave
    • AddressBook.data.previous
    • Images
    • LastImport.plist
    3. Restart Address Book and see if the default cards are there (Apple card, and your Me card) and if all seems to be working correctly.

  • Lost contacts from address book with update

    lost contacts from address book with update to OSX 9.3  How do I get them out of cloud back into address book?

    When you log into iCloud with your browser, do you see your contacts online?
    If yes, go to System Preferences > iCloud > toggle sync contacts on/off.
    You might need to run the combo installer.
    OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 (Update (Combo)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1746
    MORE INFO ON WHY RUNNING COMBO FIXES ISSUES
    Apple updates available from the Software Update application are incremental updates. Delta updates are also incremental updates and are available from Apple Downloads (software updates are generally smaller than delta updates). The Combo updates contain all incremental updates and will update files that could have become corrupted.
    Combo updaters will install on the same version as they're applying--no need to roll back or do a clean install. So if you think you've got a borked 10.8.4 install from a regular update, just run the 10.8.4 Combo Updater on that system.
    "Delta" updaters can only take you from one version to the next. For example: 10.9.1 to 10.9.2. If somehow the 10.9.2 is missing something it should have, and that something isn't changed between 10.9.1 and 10.9.2 it will still be stale after the delta update.
