My new ipad Mini will not sync with my contacts from my Mac?

Please help, I have tried many things but nothing fixes that fact that I cannot get my contacts to sync from my Mac across to my iPad mini.

I fixed my own problem - so excited...  On the iPad go to settings then mail, contacts, calendars opened icloud and turned on icloud on for contacts.  Re-synced iPad with Mac and *hey presto* all my contacts are there.

  • IPad mini will not sync with iTunes.

    I just recently bough a new iPad mini, gen 3 (I think).  I am trying to connect my new iPad to iTunes to upload some files onto it, however iTunes will not recognize my device.  I have iTunes 11.1, windows 8.1, and my iPad is on ios 7.0.4.
    I am not getting any error messages, but instead of giving me an option in itunes, my computer automatically opens up my ipad in a browser window instead.  The "iPad" menu button never apears in itunes, and it will not sync with my ipad.
    I have tried redowloading iTunes, as well as reseting my ipad.

  • Please help. I have an iPad mini and an iPad Air. I have recently upgraded to an iPhone 5s. Since then my iPad mini will not sync with the other devises on my calendar. The calendar settings on all 3 devises look to be the same.

    The devices do not sync with each other, never did. They sync to a server (iCloud, Google. Yahoo etc).
    So which service do you use for your calendars

  • My new iPad mini will not activate. What could be wrong?

    My new iPad mini will not activate.  Tried restarting the iPad with no luck.  What else can I try?

    On your computer, go to http://www.apple.com/itunes and download the current version (11.0.1).
    Your iTunes 10.6.3 is old and cannot support a new iPad running iOS 6.
    It is possible your computer is too old to support iTunes 11.  That could be the reason for the message that 10.6.3 is the current version.  In fact, it is not current and insufficient to support your new iPad.
    Good luck.

  • My new iPad mini will not charge when plugged into adapter. Any suggestions?

    my new ipad mini will not charge when plugged into adapter. What should I try?

    Does the charger get warm at all? Plug the cable into your computer with iTunes open. Does it say not charging.? If it does, the cable is good. The iPad will charge very slowly when pluged into your computer.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    Hello, flippytippi.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I would need a little more information regarding what exactly you are experiencing when attempting to sync photos to better assist you.  However, here is a troubleshooting article that I would recommend going through.

  • My 3G unlocked iPhone is not syncing mail or contacts from my mac book pro, using Lion. I am able to get a calendars and music, only. I get the message that I need to reset the password which I have done 3x's on the phone and on the Apple server.

    Good to know that, but what can I do to get the mail and contacts downloaded from Icloud onto my Iphone?  I am told that the password needs to be reset and I have erased and reset it 3x's already? Should I Restore All Settings or Restore Network Settings or will that result in a situation where I have to have it re-unlocked again? GRACIAS!

  • HT4060 My new ipad 4 will not charge with wall adapter.

    My new ipad 4 will not charge when I plug it in with wall adapter? It shows the low red battery, the charge sign but also shows the plug in sign. The plug in does not go away.

    If the battery has been completely depleted it may take more than an hour before the iPad becomes responsive again. Leave it on the charger overnight. If it does not charge up by the next morning make an appointment at an Apple store to have it looked at.

  • My new iPhone 3G will not sync with my iPod Touch 3G

    I was pretty well assured that under my same iTunes account I would sync my Apps, music library, etc with out problem. I'm not sure if there's a setting I'm missing somewhere? The other thing is the iPod Touch is gone, so I have my library. Any advise? Thank you in advance!

    What do you mean your "iPhone 3G will not sync with my iPod Touch 3G"? You don't sync an iPhone with an iPod - you sync directly to iTunes.
    Just plug the iPhone into the computer with your iTunes Library on it and sync it as normal. Everything that is in that iTunes Library under that iTunes Account will be synced to the iPhone, in exactly the same way as you synced your iPod touch.

  • New Ipad mini will not connect automatically to home WiFi network

    I use a range of Apple devices at home, IPhone 4, MacBook Pro and IMAC.
    They all see and connect automatically to my WiFi home network. I never experienced any difficulty with my DLINK router.
    I have received a couple of days ago my new Ipad mini (Wifi+ cellullar), running IOS 602, but not equipped with a SIM card.
    The device never connects automatically to the home WiFi network.
    I need to open the Settings app, chose the WiFi submenu and select manually my "dlink" network. Then only can I work with my network.
    I need to perform this each time I leave my home or I restart the device.
    As I am experienced with Apple devices I noticed this behaviour right away and can confirm that the settings on the Ipad mini are the same as the ones of the IPhone 4. I am certain that this is a bug.
    Any suggestion to overcome this major frustration?
    Patrick

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Certain track in Music on new iPad mini will NOT go away

    Greetings.
    I purchased a new iPad mini retina yesterday.
    I hooked it up to my Mac and began setting it up.
    When I was prompted to either set it up as a new iPad, or restore it from my old iPad, I chose restore.
    Everything is fine, except, I have music tracks stored on the new mini that I do not want on there.
    I set it up to sync with a particular playlist that I created.
    Those tracks are NOT in the playlist.
    In iTunes I have 'Sync only checked songs and videos'.  I had this unchecked before, and no change.
    Under 'Music' I have 'Sync music' checked with 'Selected playlists...' checked, and have chosen my one playlist.
    I have synced this device over and over and I cannot make these tracks go way.
    I even unchecked Sync music altogether so the little bar graph at the bottom shows NO music, but, they are STILL there(?!?).
    I restored it again to factory settings, this time I chose 'set up as new iPad' and...still the same.
    Any ideas, or advice would be much appreciated.

    Hi,
    I've not got the answer to your question, but I'm using an iPad 3 with the very same problem.
    No matter what I do, sync manually, set the sync settings and run it from the iPad back to the mac mini, it makes no difference. I actually thought it was something to do with buying the songs on the iPad.
    While typing this I also tried to sync with my iTunes on our Mac Book and the songs are still there.
    All our Apple tech and something daft like removing 10 giga bite of songs is seriously difficult.
    Hope somebody has the answer out there as I don't want to reset the thing.
