Sync iphone contacts with ipad

I just purchased a new iPad Mini and cant seem to sync up my iPhone contacts to appear on my iPad.. any help here would be appreciated.
thanks,

You first need to make sure you sync all of your iPhone contacts to the iCloud (not back up to the iCloud but sync). To do, on your iPhone, go to Settings > iCloud > and turn the Contacts switch to ON. Next, tap on "Merge".
Do the same action on your iPad too. Make sure you use the same iCloud account credentials on both devices.
Both your iPhone and iPad contacts should now be synced

I manage all of my email in Outlook, delete email and trash it however the update isn't reflected in the Cloud and\or Apple email. I have to then open up Apple mail and delete again.
Then something is setup incorrectly, which version of OSX are you on, and is this an iCloud mail address (@mac, @me or @icloud)
From your description of the issue I suspect that it is Outlook that is incorrectly setup.

How to sync iPhone contacts to iPad contacts, having skipped iphone set up

After buying iphone5c I skipped part of set up. Now I want to make iphone sync to contacts on iPad.
I have backed up iPad to iCloud, and the iPhone too, but can't seem to make them sync, nor find a way back to the initial setup menu to choose the option to connect to iCloud. I think all other relevant options are turned on.

You can sync contacts using iTunes so that each device you use (iPhone, iPad, or iPod) has the same information.
If your contacts are hosted online (for example, using iCloud or Yahoo!), just set up your contact accounts on each device and computer you use. Then, your contacts are kept up to date everywhere.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to your Mac. If iTunes doesn’t open, open iTunes.
Select your device, click the Info (or Contacts) tab, and then select the “Sync contacts” checkbox.
Select whether to sync all contacts or only the groups you select.
Select any other options you want, and then click Apply. Your contacts are updated each time you connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to your Mac.

Syncing iPhone contacts with a specific Group on iCloud/computer

I am using iOS 7 and run Mavericks. I want to sync (be it either through iCloud or through the desktop) the contents of my iPhone contacts with a specific group of contacts on either iCloud or a group in Contacts. How do I do that?

Hello Jim,
It took forever. With MobileMe, it was immediate.
Up in the cloud the clocks seem to tick differently and time is relative, so we will just have to learn to be patient ...
To be serious, the first iCloud experiences seem to be different on the different continents, depending on the time zone you are in. In Europe there does not seem to be so much traffic up in the Cloud during day time as in the states,

Syncing iphone contacts with iCloud does not work

I navigate to my iPhone 4 Settings and from there chose the option which is named iCloud
I turn OFF Contacts choosing to keep contacts on my iPhone and then turn it ON again.
I get prompted with the option to Merge my iPhone contacts with the ones I have on the iCloud already. I click "Merge".
I wait until the iCloud service is turned on for my iPhone contacts.
Finally, I go back to the Contacts app on my iPhone and click Groups, which is there I assume because I have multiple email accounts linked to my iPhone. I refresh my contact list by clicking on the circular arrow in the top left corner of the screen on the iPhone.
Contacts I have recently added to my iPhone are NOT transferred to iCloud.
Why is this not working?
<Personal Information Edited by Host>

Go on system preferences / iCloud and check if Calendar is turned on.
Then take your iPhone 4 and go on Settings/iCloud and check if the Calendar is turned on.
If both are on with the same Apple ID, it should all go fine.
You can go on iCloud.com, logon with your Apple ID and click on the calendar to verify.

Sync iPhone contacts with Gmail contacts whille having Outlook contacts

Hi,
I am currently syncing my iPhone's contacts with itunes ->Outlook.
Which means that all my contacts being saved on my Outlook account.
I also have many people/contacts on my Gmail accound that I wish to get in to my iPhone.
BUT:
The problem is that I am afraid to sync and get many many duplicates.
There is a way to merge both without making a MASS?
Plus:
It could be really nice to have all the contacts from my iPhone backed up on my Gmail account.
Thanks!!

Do you want to sync with Outlook.com or Windows PC Outlook? I'm guessing the latter since it sounds like you prefer to protect your privacy by not synching with the cloud. Try http://www.akruto.com. I've been using it with my iPhone and iPad without any problems. Website doesn't mention iOS, but I found out from a friend that it works with iOS and it does.

How do I sync iPhone contacts with osx 10.9.4 contacts?

I have an iPhone running iOS 7.1.2.
It has 143 contacts in it.
I have a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.9.4 with 'Contacts' 8.0.
It shows the same 33 contacts I entered when I got my iPhone in 2012.
I have been trying to update, i.e., SYNC, the contacts in my MacBook Pro's Contacts 8.0 using a USB cable without any luck. I'm not a big fan of iCloud.
I have SYNC CONTACTS checked in iTunes 11.2.2 INFO with my iPhone connected via USB.
Since the MacBook Pro's Contact 8.0 is where my contacts SHOULD be saved and THE most BASIC way to save the contacts, I'm amazed at how convoluted and difficult it is to sync my iPhone's contacts with Contacts 8.0 on my MacBook Pro.
What am I missing?

Hello AuCountry,
Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities.

Sync iPhone 4 with iPad

I want to use my iPhone apps on iPad and vice versa . Anybody knows how to do it. When I connect the iPhone to I tune, I can see the iphone applications. When I connect the iPad, I can't see on the desktop the application that are installed on the iPad, although I do have application installed. I don't think itune backs them up at all.
Anybody knows how to sync the apps between them using the desktop.
Also mobile me, can it assist in it, why what mobile me is good for
Thanks

The problem is that tune recognize I pad but does not let go inside. When I connect iPhone I can log into the device, with the iPad connected I can just eject, that's it, nothing els. I saw that other users have the same problem but I did not see any common solution yet. I am not a newbie, I know one or two things about computers. There is a communication problem here, I have win 7 if it helps

Sync iphone contact with icloud

I've entered new contact information on my iPhone, but those phone numbers are not appearing for that contact in the iCloud subfolder in Outlook. What is the best way to sync contact information in Outlook so information on my iPhone is updated in my iCloud (in Outlook).

The first thing to check is to go to icloud.com on your computer, then enter a new contact on your phone and see if it appears in your contacts on icloud.com. Then do the same thing in Outlook.
When you do this, which is not syncing new contacts to icloud.com?

How do I sync iphone contacts with icloud AND gmail on PC without Outlook

I own an iphone and ipad and use a PC. I will eventually change the PC to a Mac but until then I would like to know that any new or edited contacts (on my iphone) are being backed up somwhere. I am using the icloud but my PC tells me I need Outlook. I don't want to buy Outlook (knowing that I will eventually move to MAC).
I paid extra storage for icloud thinking it was backing my photographs and contacts up but this isn't happening.
I currently have two copies of all my contacts (over 1000 of them) on my iphone and ipad and nothing showing on my PC. My google account (which I like to think of as my 'main' place to store contacts) isn't being updated with changes on my iphone
Please help

Syncing iPhone Contacts with Windows Contacts and Windows Live Mail Contacts (Windows 7)

Please see the following graphic in which I have attempted to depict this situation from what I have been able to find, and please refer to the following thread (third post) for further details:

Microsoft copied Google and now supports accessing a Hotmail or Windows Live Mail account as an Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app. This provides Push access for received messages and for syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with the account on your iPhone.
For syncing calendar events direct with an application on your computer via the iTunes sync process, you need Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010.
I understand your second statement about the needing Outlook - but I'm trying to reconcile it with your first paragraph - there is support for calendar events over the air between Windows Live and iPhone? So it can be done, just not physically through syncing via iTunes?

Can you sync iphone contacts with outlook two ways?

When I sync my iphone with outlook using itunes, one contact is not syncing. The initial sync went fine but subsequent syncs deleted one contact from the desk but left it on the phone. Is there a two-way sync setting I am missing?

Hey Mark
I'm Michael and I work for connex.io.
We were also constantly having problems with our address books, so we decided to build our own solution. connex.io is a service that syncs two-ways between all of your devices and services. It also de-duplicates, cleans completes and automatically updates your address books on all of those devices. So whenever you make a change on any of them, it automatically gets changed everywhere. So you only have to connect your address books once, and you will have your contacts always with you. No need to connect your device to your computer or sync manually.
If you want to check it out: www.connex.io or you can send me an e-mail if you would like some more info: [email protected]
I hope this helps you out.

How to sync iPhone photos with iPad and Mac without duplicates and deleted photos?

I have a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.8.5, iPhoto 9.4.3), an iPad2 (ios 6.1.3) and iPhone (ios 7.0.4). I take my pictures on the iPhone and use the iPad for viewing. I use the MBP for storage and backup. ios 7 seems to organize the photos nicely, so I no longer need iPhoto for organizing.
What is the best, easiest and most efficient way to share, save and backup photos (iCloud prefered versus plugging devices into the MBP) between the 3 devices without duplicates and deleted photos? With Photo Streaming turned on, I get duplicates and it retains photos that I have deleted.
On all three devices, I turned on Photos & Camera > My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams and iCloud > Photo Stream.
On the MBP, I have everything under Photo Stream EXCEPT Automatic Import (I took off recently hoping to eliminate duplicates).
If someone else already asked this question, I apologize. This is very confusing.

While waiting for a reply, you can read the documentation that was in the box your iPad came in. It's a book about a Spanish guy called Manual.
The answer is iTunes. Download it. Install it. Read the instructions. Use it.
