ITunes 10.6 can't see Address Book

Hi,
I recently have had my first really BAD Apple experience. I upgrade my iPhone 4S to iOS 5.1. This completely trashed my phone and the only way to get it working again was to set it up as a new phone, thereby losing all my app settings and 4 years worth of SMS's!
Anyway, during the restore, I noticed that no notes or contacts were copied over. These are on my Mac in Mail and Address Book accordingly.
Looking at iTunes, it cannot see any of my Address Book or any of the groups.
I've done a workardound using iCloud, but even that is not syncing all the groups to the cloud, only some (and I cannot see where to select what is and what isn't sync'd!).
So my questions are:
How can I get iTunes to see my Address Book again?
How can I get iTunes to see the notes in Mail again?
How do I configure iCloud to sync all contact groups?
This is causing me a real headache!
System info:
iPhone 4S 64GB, iOS 5.1
Mac OS-X Lion (10.7.3)
iTunes 10.6
Thanks!
James

Hi,
SMS is the term for text messages. Only mentioned it to give full background. Don't think it's relevant to the issue at hand.
Thanks!

In my Itunes account, I can not see my list of songs in my files, nor can I look for individual songs in the Itunes store. Basically, anywhere there are list, I can not see them. What can I do to fix this problem?

I am having trouble with my Itunes account on Windows XP . I can not see any list in my music files. The songs are there but I have to click on each song to see what it is. Also, in the itunes store, I can not see any pull down list or use my search bar. This happened when Itunes updated it's look. I can pull it up on my phone and see all of my purchased music. I would really appreciate knowing how to fix this problem. Thank you.

Nevermind - I answered my own question, which is I CAN"T READ ANY BOOKS I purchased in iBooks on my MacBook Pro. If I want to read on my mac I have to use Kindle or Nook. Which means any book I've already purchased through iBooks has to be read on my iPad. Kind of a drag because there are times when it's more convenient for me to read while I'm sitting with my Mac.

Selected under the Info tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes.
With such a question, you should spend some time with the user guide.

How can I import address book from thunderbird on another computer

I just purchased a new laptop and have dowloaded Thunderbird for my e-mail as that was what I was using on desktop. I have 2 e-mail accounts, my personal e-mail addresses came thru with no difficulty however my other account the contacts in address book didn't come thru. So question is how can I get address book imported for this account too. My desktop is Windows XP and my laptop is Windows 8
thanks for any help

The neat thing to do would be to copy the profile from the XP machine to the W8 machine. This would have transferred your messages, your account settings and your Address Book and much else.
Given that you have set up Thunderbird and have started using it, copying over the profile may not now be terribly attractive for you.
So, instead, you can export and import your Address Books.
On the XP computer, open the Address Book, select an address book (e.g. Personal Address Book), select '''Tools|Export''', select the name and location of a file to contain the exported data, choose LDIF and then Save. Repeat for each required address book. Give your LDIF files simple but meaningful names, such as PAB.ldif and CA.ldif. Don't use, for instance, ''Personal Address Book.ldif'', as this will create a second address book with the same name as one of the defaults and you won't be able to easily tell which is which.
Put the exported LDIF files where the W8 computer can see them, e.g. a USB memory stick.
On the W8 machine, open the address book, Tools|Import and select an exported LDIF file. It will import and create a new address book; you'll probably want to move the Contact data back to the usual address book. You can select all (ctrl+a) then drag-and-drop the imported Contacts to the preferred address book. Repeat for each LDIF file.
Having said that, I don't understand what you mean by "my personal e-mail addresses came thru with no difficulty however my other account the contacts in address book didn't come thru"; unless you have moved the profile folder over, I don't understand why ''any'' contacts should have transferred.
If you have in fact moved the profile folder, then I'm puzzled as to why the transfer of address books has been incomplete. However the export and import route should be able to reclaim the missing address book(s).

HT4059 I synced my ipad to my computer but I can't see my books on my computer?

I bought a book from Itunes on my Ipad. I want it on my computer also. So I synced the ipad to the computer but I can't see the book on my computer. What else do I need to do?

ok I thought you could do that. I guess I can only see itunes on my computer. I at least wanted a backup of the book I downloaded. Is that possible with ibooks?

How can i view my iphone contents on PC. How can i view my backup data in itunes. How can i see my SMS and contact on PC

Hi,
Can anybody help me out on the follwoing questions
how can i view my iphone contents on PC. How can i view my backup data in itunes. How can i see my SMS and contact on PC

The data isn't actually stored in iTunes. iTunes is like a card catalog that allows you to access information from the various places that it's stored on the computer. SMS and contact info will be viewable in whatever program you sync contact information. The backup actually keeps the files, but doesn't make them viewable, I'm pretty sure. You can only see the info you've actually synced.

How can i backup Address Book & iCal using TM?

How can i backup Address Book & iCal using TM?

just back up your whole computer and those things will be backed up along with everything else. Time Machine is not well suited for cherrypicking just a few things to back up and it's a bad idea anyway. if you insist on backing up just those two things back up homedirectory/library/application support/address book and homdirectory/library/calendars.

How can I import address books from Thunderbird to Mail?

I had to use Thunderbird for all my Mail, because I cannot import about 10 different e-mail address lists with a total of about 300
addresses (contacts) into the Mail application nor into the Contacts Application. Every other e-mail application, and every server
supports imports like this.
Apple appears to have no solution either. On Apple Support site for Mail and Contacts, it says "Support temporarily not available"
and said so for weeks. I tried to import into Contacts, using Thunderbird address book files converted to ..Idif format and Contacts
imported them import without any fuzz. The folders appeared in Contacts as sub-folder the same name I had in the export files.
After the import I quit both Mail and Contacts and restarted my MacbookAir, it runs on OS 10.8.5., Mail is version 6.6.
I opened up Mail and the new sub-folders were listed in its Address Book window, However when I clicked ao any of them, they
would not open. I opened the Contacts application, and the folders were still there but when I tried to open the they were empty.
Is there a way to import those addresses, so they will show up?

Thanks for trying to help but .mbox is used for mailboxes, not address lists (Contacts).
I understand that Apple Mail and Contacts use .csv files for their lists, and I was able to
import my first Contact List using that type of File, but then was only table to get the name
the content of one List imported.
Last thing I tried, I used my Webmail Server which can import all address books (Contacts) and
export them across all sorts of different e-mail applications (they list about 10 different types)
and yes, the only missing is Apple Mail.
Looks like I am stuck with having to use Thunderbird, because I Mail will not import my
Contacts.

ITunes on Vista can't see Airport Express

As above, really. I've got an Airport Express configured to join my wireless network which works fine with my MacBook Air. iTunes on the Air sees the Airport Express and streams to the speakers it's connected to; but iTunes on Vista can't see it.
My Vista PC is connected by ethernet cable to a DLink router, to which the MacBook Air and the Airport Express connect wirelessly. This setup worked fine with my previous Belkin router.
Any thoughts? Many thanks in advance.

On your Vista PC, temporarily disable your Windows Firewall. Did this solve the problem?
To disable the Windows Firewall:
o Control Panel > Network and Internet > Windows Firewall
o Turn Windows Firewall on or off

First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
What computer do you have?
