Sync iMac Address Book with iPad

I have two iPads. I can sync my iPad with the address book without a hitch. However, I cannot sync it with iPad2. I created an archive and sent to myself, but I couldn't open the .abbu file. Any advice?

I have the same problem as Sheilaza but haven't been able to solve it using the advice offered.  The same problem applies to my Calendars. When I look at my iPad settings in iTunes, it says:
Sync Contacts
Your contacts are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud.
Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on your iPad.
and the same for Calendars.
On the iPad, in iCloud settings, I have checked 'Contacts' and 'Calendars' as 'ON' but the Calendar remains blank and the Contacts are a very old version that was somehow created when I set up the iPad initially.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

  • MacBook Pro 17" iTunes can't sync address book with iPad Air

    Can't sync between MacBook Pro 10.6 OS ver and new iPad Air (bought 2 days ago) cell 32gig.  Have been to Apple shop at Garden City WA, helpful but seems very little knowledge of 10.6 OS.  Have attempted upgrade on MacBook to Lion OS, persevered and seemed to work.  Except now the MacBook won't boot, even choosing drive unit, just spins the icon.  Even left it for a few hours just in case it needed time to sort itself out.
    Back to Apple shop first thing in the morning, getting MacBook up and running is first priority followed by syncing address book with iPad.  If can't sync guess I'll have to return it as having them communicate is why I brought the iPad, something lighter in my brief case instead of carrying the MacBook around.
    It became tiring being told the MacBook was old technology, having spent money with Apple upgrading the MacBook drive & memory to cope with Final Cut and Creative suite.
    Any advice most welcome!

    Figured it out and it wasn't fun. I watched the console messages as I deleted groups and tried to sync with Mobile Me until no error msg was displayed. Then I restored AB from a back up and proceeded to delete contacts one at a time and check for errors until none were displayed. After deleting about half my contacts under the one group I finally found the one contact. I then did another AB restore, deleted the troubled contact, sync'd fine, then did another backup. I have no idea why that one contact was the problem as everything looked fine. Console msgs only showed a silly number as the contact, not the name, which is why I had to go through all this. But...it's fixed.

  • Syncing Mac Address Book with iCloud

    Hello, I am trying to sync my Mac Address Book with iCloud. All contacts that are created under iCloud on Mac Addess Book are immediately synced. But if I create a contact on the Mac book exclusively, that contact will not get synced with iCloud.
    Does it mean that if we want to sync Mac address book contacts with iCloud, they should always be created under the iCloud category on the Mac? Can someone help me with this. I have checked all sync options are switched "on" and sync is working fine across all other apps.
    Thanks,
    Farhan

    I believe the duplicate address books stems from the move from MobileMe to iCloud.
    In system preferences I found an iCloud icon and also a MobileMe icon. I was logged in under both.
    1)  In the Address Book preferences I selected iCloud and unchecked Enable this account.
    2)  In the Address Book I selected iCloud and clicked on the minus “-” to remove that account – leaving only the local Mac address book.
    3)  I went into system preferences and logged out of MobileMe
    4)  In system preferences I opened iCloud and the “Contacts” was not selected (from above) and I selected it.
    I got a dialog box asking if I wanted to merge the iCloud contact with the local contacts – clicked YES.
    … spinning wheel for a minute … voila – only one address book account – iCloud with syncing to iCloud and my iPhone.

  • How can I get my iphone to sync its address book with my mac?

    I have iCloud configured to sync my address books, but they don't. I have all my contacts on my phone and want to be able to have them put onto my mac. I've never been able to figure this out. I used to have the sync address books setting selected (before iCloud), and it still never synced. I've read other discussions on this and have tried adding a contact to see if it prompts a message about merging contacts come up, but nothing seems to work. I have tried everything it seems. Any help?

    You'll have to use Wi-Fi to sync, Bluetooth is not supported:
    You can use iPhone with the Apple Wireless Keyboard and other Bluetooth devices, such as Bluetooth headsets, car kits, and stereo headphones. Third-party Bluetooth headphones may support volume and playback controls. See the documentation that came with your Bluetooth device. For supported Bluetooth profiles, go to support.apple.com/kb/HT3647
    From the manual: iphone_user_guide 5 page 109
    Use iCloud to keep Contacts up to date on your iOS devices and computers
    Go to Settings > iCloud, then turn on Contacts. See “iCloud” on page 17.

  • Syncing address book with iPad-2 and iPhone 4S.

    Since upgrading to IOS5.01 I have not been able to upload my address book to either my iPad-2 or iPhone 4S.
    Has anyone encountered this problem and successfully resolved it?

    Sorry, but I don't understand what "back end" (Exchange?) is.
    Yes, my mail and calendar appear to work just fine. (Slow when opening, but otherwise OK).

  • Syncing contacts/address book with Gmail

    What is the sync icon on the Menulet bar syncing when I click on this icon?
    I have new iMac. I use Google Apps where I have my contacts and calendar. My mail is pulled from the Google servers to Outlook 2011.
    iCal seems to sync correctly with my Google Calendar. However I have many duplicate contacts in Address Book. I have Microsoft Office 2011 with Outlook on my iMac. In Outlook 2011 under Contacts I have these same duplicate contacts.
    If I correct the duplicate contacts in Gmail, will clicking on the Sync icon on the menulet bar sync Address Book and Outlook 2011 contacts with the corrected contact list in Gmail? I want the Google contacts to receive any changes I make in Address Book and Outlook, and any changes I make in Gmail contacts to be received in Address Book and Outlook. Will this be done automatically or must I click the Sync icon on the menulet bar?

    I have resolved this problem. I found that it is not necessary to click on the the Sync icon to have Address Book, iCal, and Outlook 2011 sync with Google Mail. I have over 2,500 duplicate contacts in Google Mail. I uses the tool in Google Mail/contacts to find duplicate and merged them. All is well.

  • Need to sync only address book with exchange 2003 - Snow Leopard

    Hey everybody!
    M very new to troubleshooting MAC. M a network engineer and have an employee who recently got a new MAC with snow leopard OS.
    The problem is he would like ONLY his address book to sync with our Exchange 2003 to he could pull out the contacts from LDAP.
    Have spent few hours and found out about DavMail from this forum.
    But is there any other way to do this which I've not come across, basically a MAC or Microsoft way or application?

    icloud can be turned on or off or the whole account can be deleted. You manage that all in iOS5 , under "Settings" -> "icloud".
    Wifi Sync must be turned on both in iOS and on Itunes 10.5* on the Mac' settings :
    in iOS : "settings" -"general"-"itunes wlan sync"
    * In Lion and itunes 10.5 there is the option, don't know about Snow.

  • Let's say I sync my address book with .Mac. Now...

    ...if I add to my address book using an Internet browser on another computer, will my Mac be updated with this new address as well? If not, how do I make it so it is?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    If you log onto your .Mac account and change data displayed in your address book on .Mac, then—following the next scheduled synchronization event—the change will be reflected on all of the devices included in that event.
    What Apple hasn't explained outside of the developer community is that you are not actually synchronizing applications [like iCal or the Address Book] or servers [like .Mac] or devices [like your mobile handset or a Palm organizer] when you initiate a synchronization. What you are really doing is triggering an interaction with one or more of these and the SyncServices engine, which maintains what is termed the 'truth database'—or simply, the 'truth'—to which is pushed, or from which is pulled, the current state of data maintained in fields and records for one or more specific data types. Because of the way this process works, it is not necessary to have all synchronized devices available or attached when a synchronization event occurs.
    So you can make a change to your .Mac address book records and, during a subsequent synchronization, exchange the most current data maintained in the truth with the updated information from .Mac, and then, hours later, plug in your iPod, an action which will trigger iTunes to pull the latest data from the truth and write it to the iPod, updating your contact and calendaring records. The same is true for other applications, servers and devices.
