MacBook Pro's Contacts will not sync with iPhone?

I have recently installed the IOS 5 on to my iPhone but for some reason it is not letting me sync my contacts. It wiped all my contacts off my phone. I tried to sync them back to it when I got home and nothing happens. There are still no contacts there. I have even selected the tick box on the info tab of the device screen in iTunes to replace all contact information on my iPhone with the contacts form my address book on my Mac. Still that does nothing. I just have no contacts.
Can anyone please help as obviously I need my contacts.
Thanks

I too just had this same problem and it took me forever to figure it out. On my iPhone in Contacts under Groups, there's All Contacts, All from My Mac and then my Gmail account. When synching my iPhone 4 in iTunes under Info, I previously only had all contacts selected, once I selected sync Google contacts and added my info, everything synched perfectly.
I think what happened is if your default Contacts view on your iPhone is All Contacts, then you see all contacts as it says, but each new contact you add goes under either All from my Mac or Gmail contacts - it just depends what your default account is, which is set in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars on the iPhone.
Hope this helps.

    I am purchasing tv shows from the itunes store to my macbook pro.  I can't sync them to my itouch.  I used to get 2 version to download an HD and non HD no longer happening.  What is the problem?  Never had an issue before just started.

    You did everything 'right' and yet in most cases such as you present, it turns out to be a bad SATA cable 99% of the time.
    I, too, have a Late 2011 15" model and never had a problem with my SATA cable and my SSD. Most people don't. But then there are those few who do.
    You can likely find a 'warrantied' cable on www.ifixit.com - however, I've never heard of anyone having problems with the much less expensive options on eBay!

  • Avoid installing iTunes 11 if you are a Windows user. Calendars, etc will not sync with iPhone or iPad. Anyone have a fix?

    After installing iTunes 11.0, Outlook Calendars, etc will not sync with iPhone or iPad. Anyone have a fix?

    I'm also seeing weird sync issues since upgrading to iOS 7.  The sync issues started when I first upgraded to iOS 7 so I suspect that iOS 7 is to blame and the other system differences aren't an issue (i.e. I also upgraded to Windows 8.1 but it never worked properly when I was on Windows 8).  For me, the only way to "sync" all the smart playlists and music is to restore from backup and then the first sync seems to work.  However, I haven't tried that recently (I tried it a month back or so and it worked then) because it is ridiculous to have to restore your phone just to sync things!  Apple needs to fix the iOS 7 quality issues.

  • Itunes will not sync with iPhone or ipad

    My ipad or iphone will not sync with my Macbook pro. This is the first "windoze" type I have ever had with an apple product. Been using them since Mac SE.
    Help!
    Itunes hangs if opened but does not hang if I connect as a guest on my macbook. I have deleted libraries, reinstalled Itune but nothing changes.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Documents to Go Desktop App will not sync with iPhone and iPad

    This used to work perfectly and now, it just stopped being able to sync.  The desktop shows that my devices are disconnected?  I've uninstalled and reinstalled and the desktop app won't recognize any devices.  Any ideas??  I'm using Windows 7 PC and syncing to iPhone 4 and iPad.  hanks.

    This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Address Book.
    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.

  • Music from itunes will not sync with iphone 5

    I just upgraded from iphone 4 to 5 and didnt have time for verizon to sync my phone so i did it when i got home. the music from my itunes will not sync with my phone. it shows the music on the usage bar when the phone is plugged in but shows no content on the phone. any suggestions?

    I have a similar problem. Mine started with iTunes putting multiple versions of the same songs (whole and seemingly random albums) onto my iPod 5, but after trying to remedy that I now cannot sync any music of any sort. It took random songs off and then started getting stuck at the "waiting to apply changes" stage (as apparently many people have seen) and after trying all the things that are supposed to work I now have an iPod that doesn't have any music on it (because a lot of my music was not purchased on iTunes) and won't sync music or finish any other kind of sync.
    It seems like the "fixes" discovered so far don't work for everyone.
    My iPod is 5th gen running iOS 7.0.4 (but problem started on 7.0.3) with the latest version of iTunes, for reference.

  • Itunes keeps saying this computer already authorized, but will not sync with iphone ?

    Itunes will not sync with my IPhone 5s any longer.  It keeps saying that my PC is unauthorized.  But, when I go to authorize, it says it's already authorized, but of course, will not sync even though it's logged in and authorized.  ????  *** ?

    Usually that means you have content, such as apps or media, on the mobile device that was acquired from Apple under a different Apple ID than the one you're using with iTunes. The only way out is to remove that content, or else to sign in to the iTunes Store with the other ID.

  • My "notes" on iPad will not sync with iPhone thru iCloud. What gives?

    My "notes" on iphone and iPad will not sync thru iCloud. I am sure it is user error...but I can not figure it out.

    It reads like this is a problem on the iOS side. On your iPhone or iPad launch the notes app, in the top left corner tap the button until you are on the Accounts page and see if iCloud is an option. If it is select that option and new notes will push to your Mac. If its not close the Notes app and go to Settings > iCloud > Notes > Toggle On. The option will now be in the notes app as described above. Side note: You may be asked to set up an iCloud email if you haven't already. Hope that helps.

  • ITunes 10.5 will not Sync with iPhone 4

    Did the update to iOS5 recently and everything works great with the exception of the fact that I ended up with no music on my phone. Now whenever I connect the device it only clocks and never does anything even after 20mins. HELP! Using a MacBook Pro!

    If you cannot update your computer, you will not be able to sync your phone. The requirements are:
    Mac system requirements
    Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    iTunes 10.1 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
    iTunes Store account

  • Playlists of Podcasts will not sync with iPhone

    Hi,
    For the first time since updating to iOS 7 I have tried to sync a Playlist of Podcasts and noticed that the playlist no longer appears in Music on my iPhone.  Looking in Podcasts, there isn't a Playlist option.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks, Gordon

    This is the issue - when I change something on my mac - it shows up on Mobile Me via the cloud - my iPod Touch even makes the changes as I would expect with my iPhone. I think I have sent up my iPhone appropriately but I could be wrong. I followed Apple's instructions at:

    Like I said - it is driving me nuts - cause changes on my iPhone will show up on my mac and iPod touch - but when I make changes to something on my mac it will show up on iPod touch but not on my iPhone.

  • CDs will not sync with iPhone

    I ripped multiple CDs into iTunes.  I tried to sync them in iTunes.  Sometime I see "home sharing" in the music app and I can see my CDs.  When I shut down iTunes then I can no longer see my home share system. 
    Other times, access to the home share never appears on my iPhone .  I must re syn phone to iTunes each time. 
    Why can't I see the CDs I ripped in iTunes on my iPhone espcially when I specifically checked the boxes to transfer certain albums.  I would like to access this CD music on my iPhone when I am away from my home network over WiFi.  Is there a way to acutally download music onto my iPhone?
