Need helping syncing contacts across devices?

Can not sync contacts across all my devices

I'm having a conversation with myself here but I've worked out how to do it.
I deleted all the contacts from iCloud and then turned iCloud sync back on on my phone.
All sorted.

  • Need help syncing contacts FROM iPhone to Address book

    I'm trying to help my dad out here. He's got about 300 contacts on his iPhone that he wants to transfer onto his computer so he can have a saved/printed copy of them. I've tried to set the contacts to sync in iTunes, but it only resulted in wiping all the contacts off of the phone, which causes me to waste an hour restoring the iPhone from backup so he doesn't kill me -_____- I don't care about copying contacts from Address book to his phone, just from his phone to Address book. How do I do this?

    I have a similar problem which should be easily fixed with the steps described but those are not working. I just got a iPhone 4GS and im trying to take the contacts off of my 3GS and onto my adress book so I can sync the 4GS with adress book and get all my contacts. I created the "dummy contact" on adress book and have tried to sync my phone a couple of times but it doesnt work. it just syncs the dummy contact onto my 3gs but doesnt transfer the contacts from my 3gs onto the adress book on the computer. it also doesnt give me the option to "merge". the kicker to this is that at the bottom of the "sync contacts with adress book tab" on itunes it tells me that my contacts are "being synced with mobileme over the air" when mobileme DOESNT EVEN EXIST ANYMORE.... help please! thank you

  • Syncing contacts across devices

    Hi
    I'm having issues with trying to get one set of contacts to display across all my devices.
    Whereabouts do I create my master set of contacts and how do I then get that to be the same on my iPhone/laptop/iCloud/iPad?
    Currently after much frustration, I have my Address book on my laptop exactly how I want it and also my iPhone but my iCloud contacts are still the old set.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Cheers

    p.s. I should add that I am now running IOS6, which hasn't made any difference

  • I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I followed the steps given and ended up with just email addresses showing in my contacts even though I have phone numbers and snail mail in my Outlook Contacts. Using  Windows 7

    I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I used the knowldge document and set it up to transfer my Outlook contacts to the iphone using itunes.
    In contacts on the iphone I only see the email addresses.
    Yet in Outlook I have email, snail mail and phone numbers.
    I followed the knowledge document from iphone.
    I did it once, didn't work so deleted all the contacts from the phone and tried again. Same result. I have a PC using Windows 7 64 bit.

    You can't access an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac.
    You can access a MM account with Outlook on your PC at work and keep your MM email account server stored mailboxes synced between your PC at work, your iPhone, and the MM "cloud". Not sure about syncing MM contact info and calendar events with Outlook at the same time with an Exchange account.
    This will not provide for syncing your Exchange account contact info and calendar events with the Addresss Book and iCal on your Mac because the accounts are separate.
    You can access an Exchange account and a MM account at the same time with the iPhone's mail client, and sync contact info and calendar events over the air with both accounts at the same time. You can view combined contact info or separately for each account, and the same for calendar events.

  • Problems Syncing Contacts Across iOS 8

    Hey guys (I'll keep this as brief as possible),
    In case you need to know my device models/OS to help me, here they are:
    iPhone 6 (iOS 8.0.2)
    iPad 3rd Gen (iOS 8.0.2)
    Macbook Pro w/ Ret (OS X Mav 10.9.5)
    I've been trying to sync "Contacts" across all 3 devices via iCloud to no avail.  I've edited my iPhone contacts list extensively, so I'm trying to sync that over to my iPad and my Macbook Pro, but it's not working.  On both the iPhone and iPad, I've turned the "Contacts" toggle off and then on under the iCloud tab in settings, and that didn't do anything.  I don't think it's a problem with iCloud, because it's updating my "Reminders" across all 3 devices just fine, but isn't taking any of my contact adjustments that I'm making on my iPhone.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks for your time, everyone!
    Kind Regards,
    Niloy

    You probably already have done this: Within the Contacts app on the iPad and iPhone, click on Groups (top left corner) and make sure you have iCloud ticked.
    I don't know if this is important, but under Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, scroll down to the Contacts section and see if your Default Account is iCloud.
    I did do that early on.  I eventually got it solved, though.  But I really appreciate you trying to help, my friend.  Thank you!

  • I am setting up a new iMac and need help syncing files to Dropbox.  On my old computer I had it set where when I saved a document, it was saved on my hard drive, as well as to a folder in Dropbox.  I can't remember how I set this up.  Any help?

    The way that Dropbox works is that it keeps a copy of all your files in your local Dropbox folder on your hard drive (which is, by default, directly under your home folder). Adding files to that folder will sync them to the Dropbox server.
    You do of course have to download the Dropbox application to enable this (download link at the top right of http://dropbox.com ).

  • Domain joined Windows 8.1 using OneDrive to sync passwords across devices

    Background : Domain joined Windows 8.1 devices using OneDrive to sync settings across devices, including "Passwords" under Other Settings. Domain user accounts are NOT local administrators.
    Issue : When one drive goes to sync Wireless network security settings (passphrases etc...), a User Account Control (UAC) dialogue pops up from "Program Name : Networks" to enter administrator credentials. Domain users do not have administrator access
    to local computers by strict policy.
    The only way identified so far to stop the dialogue pop-up is to disable the password sync by group policy. However, that turns off ALL password syncing, including passwords desired to be sync'd, that do not encounter this issue.
    Can the UAC be suppressed? Is there a way to NOT sync the wireless password settings?
    Welcome any thoughts, direction, assistance, etc... :) Thanks much and have a good day!

    Hi,
    I searched around but haven't find one way to achieve this, thus I'm afraid that we're unable to prevent the specific network password setting. the syncing settings for all passwords are combined together.
    To suppress UAC, we can turn off the UAC under control panel\User Account or via GP  Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options ,but we don't recommend this.

  • HT2480 I need help syncing my computer outlook email (through Yahoo) with my Iphone. when I delete an email on my computer is it still in my inbox on my phone.  Any help is appreciated.

    I need help syncing my computer outlook email (through Yahoo) with my iphone.  When I delete an email on my computer it is still in my inbox on my phone. Please help.

    Your computer is probably set up to access your Yahoo mail using POP3. POP3 does not synchronize with the server. For full synchronization, you will need to use IMAP instead. See the Yahoo mail help pages for instructions on how to configure your mail client.

  • Need help getting contacts from outlook 2010

    I need help getting my contacts from outlook 2010 to icloud and/or my iphone. I have icloud up and logged in on pc. when I go to a contact to import it says there was a problem reading the vcard. any help is welcomed.

    I do have the latest version of DTM and working with OUTLOOK 2000.  I know it is old, but it still does what I need it to. I did try to uninstalland reinstall.  No luck.  The only options listed to sync are yahoo, outlook express, and ASCII inport/export.  Obviously it is not syncing my other data either, but it is my contacts that I am most concerned with at this point.  The calader would be nice too!  Any other suggestions, or is my outlook too old to sync?

  • Syncing Jabber across devices

    All,
    We are running 9.1 CUCM and IMP and I am looking to hopefully sync Jabber IM's across devices (Windows, iPhone, iPad).  This does appear to be working and I cannot find any documentation about if this a supported feature or not.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    We do not provide such feature. If anything, you'll only get the 1st message someone sends you, as it will "broadcast" it to all the devices in order to determine on which one you're active as you reply, and then it will direct all IM messages to that particular device.
