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).

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.

How to sync Address book with iphone(iOS 6) and 10.7.4?

How to sync Address book with iphone(iOS 6) and 10.7.4

i'm having this issue too. it's a bit more complex though i think so i'll give the details:
a few days ago i added some people to my contacts using my phone. the thing they have in common is they're all new contacts.
they synced over to my macbook address book ok.
then a few days later i had to do a full restore of my iphone for various reasons (the new one, already!) which i did. when i then looked in my iphone contacts, these contacts were no longer there. they WERE however, still in my macbook address book.
so i figured i'd switch icloud syncing off for contacts and then resync to get them back on my phone. it didn't work. so i then turned off icloud sync and tried a good old manual sync via itunes, making sure to check the box for syncing contacts. it still didn't work.
now i'm at that odd place where the contacts are in my macbook address book but not in my phone and i can't seem to get them onto my phone (which is frustrating as ultimately they are phone numbers and in my phone is the best place for them!)
any ideas?

How to sync Address book with iphone on 10.5, while iphone synced with iCloud?

My mac runs leopard 10.5.8. Meanwhile iPhone is updated to 5.1. and synced with iCloud. As we know, OS X 10.5 can not be synced with iCloud. How to sync Address book with iphone? My Address Book on my mac has almost all contacts that can be found on my iPhone. Even with pictures from FB and extra info such as twitter accounts, etc.
The question is - how can I manage my contacts? Now I have added several new entries to my iPhone, but they won't appear on mac's address book. In iTunes the contacts sync box is unchecked due to the fact that iPhone syncs with iCloud. But then I'm wondering where did Address Book get all the contact updates that were made on iPhone?
I'd like to control this whole thing. And is there such thing as one data base, that could used by all devices and would change entries on all of them, if I change or add something on my iPhone?
Or I just have to get Lion and let the iCloud do the magic?
Thanks,
Lauris

I just synced my new iPhone (iOS 5.0.1) with the Address Book on my Mac which runs 10.5.8 and iTunes 10.5.2. I launched iTunes and then I connected the iPhone to the Mac. It appeared on the DEVICES list in the left column in iTunes. I selected it and then the Summary screen appeared in the right part of the iTunes window.
In the Backup section of the Summary you can choose whether to 'Back up to iCloud' or 'Back up to this computer'. Even if you have 'Back up to iCloud' selected, there is a 'Sync' button in the bottom right hand corner of the iTUnes window where you can manually initiate a sync with the Mac.
Hope this helps,
Dave

Unable to sync iMac address book with iPad. Can you please help?

Unable to sync iMac address book with iPad. Can you please help?

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.

Sync Address Book with iPhone

It does not work. Everything else works fine. I tried all combinations for sync address book from MacBook Pro to iPhone and I can not do it....
I also so a cople of postings... asking if it works both ways... someone responded; Yes it works from iPhone to Mac & from Mac to iPhone...
Anyone else having this problem? It should be a breeeeezzzzeeee, but I am not be ing successful... HELP

Hello,
One more thing to try:
Reset your sync history.
Go into Applications and launch iSync. Click the iSync menu and click Preferences. The Reset Sync History button is towards the bottom, underneath Advanced.
After this, verify your settings are still set correctly, and sync again.

Reset the device. If it doesn't work try removing your account and adding it again. If that doesn't work then try restoring the device to factory settings by pluggin into iTunes and clicking "Restore".

Sync Address Book with Yahoo Address book?

Hi there,
just wondering if its possible to some how sync Address Book with Yahoo Address book?
That is... I have an elaborate Address Book setup on Yahoo, I'd like it so that if I use Yahoo Address Book and create/delete contacts that when I get home and use Address Book, Address Book syncs the contacts structure to the yahoo structure, without me manually intervening...
Is this possible or is there a tool/widget that does this already?
Thanks

while looking for somehting else, i found something here in the discussions that might do the trick. it involves another web-based address book, but might work for you. try getting the plaxo address book plug-in, and then sync your yahoo contacts with plaxo, and then sync that with address book. i'm not sure of the order that would give you the best results, but i'm working on using plaxo as an online backup of my address book, as i will most-likely not be using plaxo otherwise.
my concern for you would be whether one would write over the other, so back up your address book first, or even export the entire thing as a vcard file to your desktop, and then you can re-import and merge them... that way you can sync with your yahoo account, and then add whatever is already in your address book and merge whatever is necessary.
search here in the discussions for the plaxo plug-in, and see if that sounds like it would work for you. the only issue i have right now is that it seems that the plaxo install has somehow affected my icalfix plug-in, but i'll look into fixing that this weekend, i'm sure i just need to move some plug-ins around.
cheers,

Sync Address Book with Mail Addresses

What's the trick to sync Address Book with Mail Addresses. My Mail Addresses has only a handful of my addresses from addresses from Address Book.
Thanks

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, when composing a message, the address is not completed when typing is begun. I have checked the Mail Preferences - Composing and there is a check mark beside "Automatically Complete Addresses". The "Configure I.DAP" window is blank and I do not know what, if anything, should be in that window.

ITunes doesn't sync address book with contacts

Syncing IPad2 with IMac address book doesn't update groups and contacts on IPad.

If you're using Mobile Me, you can try this: On the iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contact, Calendars > Account Name. Turn OFF contacts syncing. The in iTunes on the computer, view the Info tab on the iPhone item page. You should now be able to check the Sync Address Book checkbox and then click the Sync button. This might work with non Mobile Me accounts too.

Can't sync Address Book to iPad

I have a new iPad and have Snow Leopard on my iMac with all software up to date. I have configured the iPad to sync over WiFi. Using iTunes, sync works fine for Calendar and Safari bookmarks. But I can't get iTunes to sync the Address Book properly. (I have iCloud Contacts switched off.) What happens is that the Address Book group names are copied to the iPad, but the groups are empty once they get there.
I can create new contacts on the iPad and they work OK, so it's not that I don't know how to use the Contacts app. I can even create a new contact entry on the iPad within one of the groups brought in from the iMac. But synching individual contact names within the groups from the Address Book just doesn't happen. (It doesn't work either if I initiate the sync from the iPad.)
Any ideas why this happens would be much appreciated.

I am a mac lover since 1982.
I bought an ipad (3rdgen retina), to be sure that communication with my (old?) macmini core 2Duo 10.6.8 would be simple.
After hours and hours reading posts on forums, I have understood that sync between Address book and iPad will not work "OTA" (over the air i.e. through icloud ?).
The best I succeeded to get is :
* safari/icloud <==> ipad/contacts sync (both directions, within a minute, with iCloud Contacts switched ON)
* ipad/contacts (or iCloud?) <==> address book sync through USB with iCloud Contacts switched OFF upon a manual backup demand.
Apple used to be more intuitive !
To reach my goal, i.e having iCal and Address Book synchronized between macmini and iPad without any manual action, I am looking toward "owncloud" on my NAS ; this, at least, will avoid that these personnal datas will be stored elsewhere than on my disks, on a "cloud" whose I have not (yet?) understood mechanism.
