Mac Contacts & IPhone4 Contacts wont sync & update each other

I am a new Iphone user but have had a mac for a while, I cannot get my contacts to sync correctly with the Iphone and vice versa. Do I need to reset or is there an advanced feature hidden somewhere??

Welcome to the discussions,
did you already reset the sync history in "iSync" on your Mac?

Me and my partner have both just got the iphone 5s previously having the iphone 4s our contacts have synced to each others phone which is very fustrating and i dont no how to fix this issue please help

Do your contacts exist individually elsewhere? If not, you're stuck. If you have the contacts elsewhere (email, Outlook, FaceBook), one of you can turn off your iCloud contacts and elect to remove them from the iPhone. Your partner needs to do the same so that the list of combined contacts ceases to exist. Have your partner dlete the current account (from the iPhone) and then generate a separate iCloud account. After that, you can each restore contacts from individual sources.

Ios7 - itunes mac and phone now wont talk to each other

I (foolishly) updated to ios7 on my iphone 4s.
Now itunes wont work, says it needed version 11 of itunes. so i download it.
itunes 11 wont load onto the mac as it says i need version 10.6.8 or later on the mac.
The mac software says its up to date (10.5.8) and there are no updates available....
Catch 22 and nothing is talking.

Hi Marshall:
A Windows PC cannot read a Mac-format iPod. However, if you format the iPod on the PC, the Mac will be able to recognise it perfectly well. It is possible to manually load music from both the PC and the Mac to the PC-format iPod.

How do I make Mac mail and iOS Mail sync to each other with a google apps (not traditional gmail) mail account?

I have a google apps mail account in the form [email protected] I have successfully set up both my mac (A1342) Mail and my iPhone (5c) mail so I get my account on both devices. However, when I read an email on my iphone, it remains unread on my mac (and vice versa). But if I read an email on either, the copy in my Gmail inbox on the web is correctly changed to read. How do I set up my mac Mail and iOS mail so they interact with eachother?
I am running OSX 10.9 and iOS 7.

Set the account (on the Mac) as an Imap account, it seems as though it is currently set as POP.

I currently use an iPhone, an iPad, and a Mac computer for business. The three devices have Contacts Managers that sync with each other through both Google and through Mobile Me. Currently, this has created a mess of duplicate contacts. Please researc

I currently use an iPhone, an iPad, and a Mac computer for business. The three devices have Contacts Managers that sync with each other through both Google and through Mobile Me. Currently, this has created a mess of duplicate contacts. Please advise me on the steps necessary for removing these duplicates and establishing a syncing solution that doesn't regenerate the duplicates. There are several applications available that remove duplicates, but I am not sure which ones work or don't work. I want information on this, but most importantly I want to understand how to fix this problem permanently. Also, I read somewhere that Mac's new operating system, Lion, can help deal with duplicates. I don't have Lion, but I would be willing to get it, if this would fix the problem.

Had the same problem with 4 devices (two computers, an iPhone and an iPod). The solution is simple: open the Address Book application in your mac, ask it to locate duplicate entries (under one of the top menu items, "edit" I think), and then ask it to consolidate them: it took me all of three seconds after I figured it out: worked like a charm! PS: if you have more than one mac with unconected Address Books, repeating the operation in the second one may be a good idea.

How to keep E6 and N8 in sync with each other?

I've had an N8 for the last 6 months or so (coming from an E71!.) I love the N8 hardware but, though I can manage, I do not love "touch." I've been longing for the ability to slice through the Symbian layers that a hardware keyboard gives so I've ordered an E6.
I plan on using the E6 as my daily workhorse with the N8 interspersed. Does anyone have suggestions for the best way to keep them in sync with each other?
Many thanks,
Michael

Hi mknf,
Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!
Which data/files are you trying to sync between the 2 phones? For the emails, this will still depend on the protocol that your provider is using. For POP mails, emails can only be accessed on 1 device while IMAP supports multiple device as it leaves a copy on the server.

My calendar on my iPhone and iCloud will sync between each other. But my iPad will not synch.

My calendar on my iPhone and iCloud will sync between each other. But my iPad will not synch.

On the iPad tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Calendars off then back on then reset the iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

My calendar "all from my Mac" on my iphone wont sync with my ical

I have my iphone calender under "all from my mac" however it wont sync with my ical. I have noticed the only calender on my ical is from my icloud. Unfortunately all my calender enteires on my iphone are not under that. Wondering what the easiest way to sync this is.
when I click hide calender and hide the "all from my mac" all my calender entries disappear.

Try this:
1. Make a backup ( a) Time Machine, b) Export > Archive iCal. Close iCal)
2. In Finder hold down alt-Key while choosing "Go to..." menu
3. Select Library
4. In the folder Calendar delete the files
Calendar Sync Changes
Calendar Cache
5. In the folder Preferences delete the files
com.apple.CalendarAgent.plist
com.apple.iCal.helper.plist
com.apple.iCal.plist
com.apple.iCalExternalSync.plist
com.apple.syncserver.plist
(not sure which one is the bad guy, but it did not hurt to erase all of them)
6. Start iCal, it will update itself.
HTH, Patric

Itunes 9.0 wont sync facebook and other apps

i just downloaded itunes 9.0 and for soem reason it wont allow several apps to syn to my itouch. one of which is facebook. it syncs over most of my apps but for some reason it wont sync facebook. I check the box for the sync, then sync the itouch, it will say facegook is being installed, but at the end of the sync, it automatically "unchecks" the box for facebook and the app in never sync'd over. it happens will about 7 other apps. any ideas??

I have the exact thing going on. DLd itunes 9 this morning and have spent the last two hours going blind reading forums. I guess it's something to do with individual apps. After completely removing the .ipa for each problem app, I tried re-downloading from both itunes(didn't work) and from the App Store via my itouch then transfering back into the itunes library. Nothing worked.
What's funny is they all list in the itunes library fine, and will even attempt to sync but the sync lasts about one second, then unchecks the problem apps as if I never really checked them. Here are my problem apps:

Mac Mini and MacBook can't 'see' each other on the network

I have an 'old' Mac Mini set up to the Airport Extreme base station via ethernet cable and can happily connect to the internet. I also have a MacBook that connects wirelessly to the AEBS. A couple of things frustrate me..
Although I can connect to the internet from the Mini the Airport Utility can rarely find the base station so any diagnostics are impossible.
Also, the two macs are unable to find each other over the network. Both have personal file sharing turned on in the prefs. Occasionally the MacBook identifies my Mini on the network but when I try and connect (clicking on the alias) i get the "the alias XXX's computer could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found".
This is frustrating as I would like to share/copy files over the network.
Is there something simple I am missing?

A couple of things to check.
The Mini will need to have file sharing turned on.
And the appropriate holes in its firewall set.
It should be assigned its IP number by DHCP.
It should not be plugged into the WAN port on the
AEBSn.
Using Terminal (on the mini)
You should be able to PING the other computer,
And you should be able PING a computer on the
internet.
ie. apple.com
Hi
File sharing is on and firewall is off. As I mentioned I have connection to the internet and can ping apple.com. It is not plugged into the WAN port on the AEBSn - the modem is plugged in there. The IP is assigned by DHCP
I can ping the macbook (when the alias is in Finder) but I get a "connection failed...server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and try again" when I try to connect.

Mac book pro power adapter mixed to each other how to identify

dear i am facing some issue in our office .
issue is our macbook pro charger has mixed to each other.
for that i am facing some charer support issue when it is not working.
how can i identify .
I have more than 100 mac book comp.

First off, for the regular MacBook Pros (non-Retina) there are basically two sizes: large 85W and small 65W. Large is used on 15" and 17" models, small on 13" model. They are physically different in size too and are labeled along the edge.
Retinas use an 85W power brick, but the connector at the Mac end is MagSafe II, which is very smaller than the regular MagSafe used on non-Retinas. No way to confuse and no way to plug them wrong.
BTW, if an MB Air got mixed in there, they use an even smaller 45W brick. But you mentioned MBP.
