Sync Issue between iPad & Macbook Pro

Ok so here is the issue...
My iCloud settings have been enabled for both the Macbook Pro and my iPad2 for everything except for mail and photostream. I mainly need iCloud for my iCalendar Calendars and documents through Pages, Keynote, and Numbers.
For example, my Macbook Pro says I have 4 contacts, yet my iPad has a couplw dozen. I've backed up the iPad2 yet the Macbook dosn't change at all. I've recently a convert from PC's and don't know much about the Mac OS yet so I'm hoping someone can help the newbie out!

For example, my Macbook Pro says I have 4 contacts, yet my iPad has a couplw dozen. I've backed up the iPad2 yet the Macbook dosn't change at all.
On the Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Contacts then reselect then restart your Mac. You can do this from the Apple menu.
(You can open System Prerferences from your Apple menu (top left in your screen), or from the Dock or  from your Applications folder)
On the iPad tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Contacts off then back on then reset the iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Hopefully your Contacts will sync as they should now.

  • Syncing Issues between Ipad 2 and MacBook Pro

    When we sync our ipad with our macbook pro we get over 100 errors for songs that won't sync to the ipad.  These are all songs we have purchased on itunes or downloaded from cd's.  Anyone encounter this before and have a suggestion on how to fix this?
    Thanks

    The underlying issue here is that you have chosen to use POP3 rather than IMAP mail accounts. Only IMAP mailboxes are 'synchronized' by default: it is virtually impossible to synchronize POP3 mailbox content.
    For a discussion of POP3, IMAP and mail synchronization options, take a look at the Mail & Address Book - Tiger forum located here.

  • IBooks Library not synching between iPad & Macbook Pro

    I've loaded PDFs into my iPad and Macbook Pro ibook libraries, but they are not synching between the devices. All synching has been turned on in preferences on my Mac, iTunes and iPad. Any suggestions as to how to get both devices listing same ibook library contents?

    Tack on another user.  Annoying to say the least...
    Found another thread on another forum that mentioned disabling and re-enabling the "automatically download books" opton under settings / itunes & app stores and after doing that, the two started syncing again even though I don't purchase my books through the itunes store.

  • Contacts sync with iPhone, iPad & MacBook Pro but not calendar won't

    OK, so on my iPhone and iPad I have software V 6.1.3, my MacBook Pro 10.8.3. I can get contacts to sync with all 3 but the calendar nothing wants to sync.

    OK, I made a change to calendar on MacBook Pro and it syncd with iPad & the iPhone. I deleted it on the iPad and it syncd with the MacBook but not the phone. So apparently the problem is between the iPhone & the iPad.

  • Sync issues with new MacBook Pro

    Just got a new MacBook Pro and my Iphone 3gs won't sync, Itunes crashes every time I try to sync. Has anyone had a similar problem or know of a solution? Thanks

    Welcome to the discussions,
    did you already reinstall iTunes and Apple Mobile Device Service? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747
    Do you have any podcasts or slideshows on your phone? If yes, try to delete them before your sync. Also copy your pictures to your mac and delete them on the phone.

  • Icloud document sync issue between ipad and mac

    So was very excited when mountain lion could sync my spreadsheets (numbers) documents with my iPad, but having a weird issue (I think).
    So I took one of my spreadsheets from my Mac, and moved to iCloud. Opened it up in Numbers (Mac), made a few changes, and saved it.
    Now I go on my iPad, I see it. I open it up - great.
    Now for some reason, I have a duplicate spreadsheets named 'Untitled'. I have no idea how it got there, I am not sure what happens if I delete it (or if I should).
    Anybody know whats up with this?
    Thanks -

    When you place a document into iCloud from your Mac and then try to open it on a mobile device, you will be given the option of opening the original document or opening a copy. It sounds to me that you have chosen to open a copy.

  • New Apple ID email has caused sync issues between iPad and iPhone

    I changed the email of my Apple ID and made sure to save photos and delete old iCloud backups. The calendar noon get syncs but instead eats any new events. Photos from my iPad appear on my iphone but it doesn't work the other way around. Instead my iPad still has an iCloud photo album from my previous Apple ID email. I've made sure that my email is updated on both devices and that everything syncs to iCloud and has been recently backed up. I even deleted the new backups and did it again. I turned off photo steam and turned it back on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. One more detail, even in iTunes, I do not have photo albums being synced from my computer. I just have photo stream with iCloud.

    I'm not sure what caused the issues but backing everything up and restoring both devices has fixed photo stream as well as notes/calendar icloud issues. It even syncs to my computer again! The icloud photo album from the old apple id email is also gone.

  • ICloud Sync issues between iPhone and MacBook

    I have a peculiar problem. I have iCloud turned on for Contacts, Calendar and Notes between my iPhone 6P and my MacBookPro running OS X 10.10.2. If I make  a change or add an entry on the MBP, it does not show up on the iPhone until I make a change to something on the iPhone, then the iPhone changes go to the MBP, and the MBP changes then, and only then, appear on the iPhone.
    I have the same iCloud account on both devices. Very confused. (I have not done anything regarding Family Sharing, and I do have the iCloud drive turned on.)
    Any clues?

  • Major sync issues between iphone and itunes + outlook

    I have an iphone 5, mistakenly pushed the button to update to ios7, got a new window pc with win8 and office13, and mistakenly again got updated itunes 11.1.3...after many years of pretty seamless itunes/outlook calendar/contacts/podcasts/ etc etc syncing experiences, now itunes doesn't sync playlists with my phone, constantly wipes out my podcasts even though i chose "no sync with podcast", doesn't sync into outlook calendar/contacts/etc at all. i tried to roll back to itunes 10.7 (used the tips from this forum), but it says my phone won't work with versions older than itunes 11. it's like nobody's able to talk to anyone any more. what's going on????

    Hi - I'm trying to sync iBooks on my Macbook Pro with iBooks running on my iPad. I have some pdf's download from the net I want to share between devices and I can't work out how to sync the two devices. Any help please? I'm running Mavericks

    Thanks for your help Brij011 - much appreciated. Apologies as I'm a newbie but I've looked at the info for synching and I appear to have all the switches flicked on my iPad. Does the iPad and iBooks only sync in iCloud for purchases as I appear to be doing something wrong. I could sync ok when books was in iTunes but since migrating to Mavericks I think I'm doing something wrong!!

  • Since downloading Maverick iCal no longer syncs between my MacBook Pro, my iMac or iPad - how do I rectify this?

    since downloading Maverick iCal no longer syncs between my MacBook Pro, my iMac or iPad - how do I rectify this? (my first post ever)

    I know Pete, but what if I don't have good internet connection sometimes?
    Imagine:
    this morning planning the whole next week with my iMac, bussiness around Europe.
    I must go this evening.
    Just now internet line fails in the neighborhood.
    Stupid situation, and not so uncommon, cause not all of us are living in Manhattan. (this is what Apple thinks)
    Cable must be an option beside iCloud.
    true or not?

    You probably want to open a ticket with the maker of the app.
