  • Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad?

    Can anyone help with this?
    Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad?  Did it on icloud cause have duplicates on ipad and iphone also

    Check icloud.com to be sure you contact list is correct there.  If it is, just go to Settings>iCloud on your device and turn Contacts to On to sync the contacts to your device.  If contacts are already set to On and you still see duplicates, you may be viewing a duplicate contact group in addition to the iCloud contacts.  Open Contacts, tap Groups, then tap any groups other than iCloud to uncheck them, then tap Done.  See if the duplicates are still there.

    As you've noticed, since the release of Mavericks syncing contacts with a Mac using iTunes is no longer supported. Following is a link to troubleshooting information for iCloud contacts which may have something that will help: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998

  • On iCloud, the calendar will sync from computer and iPhone to everything, but will not sync FROM iPad

    When I enter data on my computer or iPhone, the calendars all sync nicely; however, if I enter an event on my iPad, it will not sync, eventhough it syncs the information from the other devices.  Any advice?

    Once you set your Exchange Calendar as the default here:
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > scroll down to Default Calendar > Select your Exchange calendar
    All new events should be created in your Exchange calendar unless manually changed.

  • Merging contacts from desktop and iPhone

    OK... here goes....
    For the last 10 years my wife and I have shared one user account on our desktop computer, a G5 tower.
    We have been able to successfully keep our 'digital lives' separate because I used Apple Mail and Address Book with my iPhone, syncing with mobile me. She used Microsoft Entourage and a flip phone.
    She has just gotten an iPhone 4S and I want her to be able to sync contacts with Address Book. So... I am FINALLY setting her up with her own user account and getting her to use Apple Mail and Address Book. We do NOT want my Address Book to sync with her new iPhone.
    I think I can import her messages and mailboxes into Mail in the new user account easy enough. And I am pretty sure I can get her Entourage email addresses into Address Book also. I have seen some articles online and I think I got it straight.
    Here is the part I am not sure about. When she got her iPhone last week the Verizon store transfered her PHONE NUMBERS into the iPhone form her old flip phone. How do we merge the email addresses (from Entourage) and phone numbers (currently on the new iPhone) into Address Book?
    I am asuming there are gong to be many double entries and such as the names will not match.... but i do not want to overwrite anything and lose data. Will we just have to suck it up and manually merge the data?
    We can not use iCloud yet, as the machine is not Intel and is only running Leopard. There is a new Mac Mini in our near future and I will get the iCloud running for her soon enough. And I anticipate no issues moving over her new user account, from the G5 over to the new Mini.
    I ONLY use my white Intel MacBook running Lion and the iCloud to keep MY life in sync these days and doubt I will put my MacBook user account on the new desktop... but I might at some point.
    Thanks

  • Upload contacts from iCloud to iPhone when iPhone contacts were deleted

    Not sure how/why but the contacts on my iPhone 4s were just gone one day (e.g. in Messages I simply have messages from (###) ###-#### and Contacts is empty). The latest version of my iPhone which I could restore to was from earlier tonight (with all contacts gone) because my phone automatically synced or something, so "Restore Backup" is not an option (I already restored only version). I found all my contacts in my iCloud account soooo... how do I get them to my iPhone? on Settings > iCloud , Contacts is "off" but when I switched it "on" nothing happened. Help please!
    Version 7.1

    Your other data (such as messages, your call history, etc.) and settings are stored in your backup, with the exception of email, which is stored on the email provider's server.  Restoring your backup would transfer your other data and settings.
    Are you trying to transfer your data from an old iPhone to a new one?

  • Having trouble synching contacts from ipad and iphone to iMac

    Hello, I have an iMac with Yosemite and an iPad and iPhone with iOS 8 that are all fully updated.  I am having trouble getting all of my contacts to sync to my iMac.  They sync between the devices fine.  After a lot of searching around I found that my iMac doesn't show my outlook account as one of my internet accounts for contacts.  I get my mail no problem from outlook (hotmail) on my iMac.  But when I try to set up another internet account on my iMac it doesn't show outlook as a possibility.  I don't know why my ipad an phone are using outlook for contacts but they are and I don't seem to be able to switch it up.  Any help would be very much appreciated.

    I don't know much about sim cards (being a Verizon user), but having an iPhone 4S, mysteriouly having a SIM card slot, I notices a button in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars that said "import SIM contacts. I'm not sure how you get your contacts in a SIM card, but thats obviously how you import them onto your new iPhone.
    Thank you for choosing Apple.

  • My ical events showing up as "new events" on my ipad and iphone when synced with exchange?

    I am running exchange 2010 and have my macbook, iPad and iPhone syncing to exchange. I noticed that lately after my lion upgrade it is changing the ical meeting events that I create on my macbook show up on my iPad and iPhone as "new events". All of the information entered into the event is gone. This is really frustrating and is starting to become a problem. I need to find a solution soon. Has anyone else experienced this issue or resolved this issue?

    Maybe a fix in the works?

    You create the playlist on the other computer which may require moving or copying of the media from the first computer to the second computer.

  • Ipad won't sync photos from computer although iPhone 5 syncing ok.

    I have tried to load some recent photos onto my ipad by syncing with itunes but the syncing gets to step 6 of 7 and does not complete. My iPhone 5 has synced ok. Have tried switching the iPad on and off again and resyncing but no joy. Any ideas?

    The message is that the computer is not associated with that account.
    Are you trying to sync your iPad on a computer that you do not usually use to connect your iPad to?
    You should use the computer with the backup of your iPad.
