Syncing contacts from macbook air to iPad

So I have the sync contacts checked on the ipad in itunes on the laptop, but it is not syncing the contacts from my computer to ipad. Any suggestions?

You can sync contacts between the Mac and the iPad and vice versa via Wi-Fi if you setup an iCloud account. You get 5GB of free space. This way you have backup and storage.
Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices
iCloud backs up:
Purchased music, TV shows, apps, and books
Photos and video in the Camera Roll
Device Settings
App data
Contacts and Calendars
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
From here > Apple - iCloud - Store and back up your content in iCloud.

    i tried plugging my phone into itunes to sync my contacts from my macbook air to my iphone 4s, but itunes 11.1.3 says it's only over icloud?

  • How to sync photos from MacBook Pro to iPad 3?

    How to sync photos from MacBook Pro to iPad 3 without it automatically deleting previously synced photos, or replacing them with new ones?

    How can I create albums in the Photos app on the iPad
    Photos that were taken with the iPad (or any photos in the camera roll) can be deleted right on the iPad. Tap the trash can icon in the top right corner if you are viewing the pho,to in full screen, or if you are viewing as thumbnails - tap the arrow in the upper right corner - tap the photos that you want to delete and then tap - Delete.
    Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced -  and then re-syncing.

  • How do I move contacts from macbook pro to iPad mini

    How do I move my "contacts" from my MacBook Pro, to my iPad mini

    Not sure exactly what you mean by "move" (or what the circumstances are), but the easiest way to get those on the iPad would be to sync them via iCloud (turn on contacts in iCloud on both devices).

  • HT1386 Sync problem from Macbook Pro to iPad 4

    I managed to download the music I purchased from iTunes to my Macbook Pro. I also managed to sync the music with my iPhone 5 so that I have all purchased music on the iPhone. However, I fail to sync the same music from the Macbook to my iPad 4. Any clue?

    If you don't know what iTunes Match is, you don't use it. You have to subscribe to it before you can use it and I'm sure you would've remembered that. So that rules that one out.
    if you have two different Apple ID's - and I mean two different Apple ID's that you have purchased content with, you have to be signed into that account on your iPad in order to sync that content from iTunes.
    Podcasts used to appear in the Music App, IIRC but then Apple released a podcast app a while back. If you don't have the podcast app look in the Music App in the More button at the bottom of the screen to see if the podcast is in there. If it is a video podcast look in the Videos App for it.
    When you connect your iPad to your Mac, after iTunes is running and you have clicked on your device name in the left sidebar, you want to look in the iTunes window on the right side in order to see what is synced to your device. There is a row of tabs across the top of the window, Summary, Info, Apps, etc.
    Click on Music and you should see something like this. I sync selected items - not my entire iTunes library.
    Are you seeing this when you sync with iTunes?

  • Syncing pictures from MacBook pro to iPad

    None of my pictures on my MacBook pro have synced to my iPad.........but most of my pictures on my iPad have synced to my MacBook pro.  I thought once you were hooked up to iCloud all the syncing was automatic and it synced to each device.    HELP!

    From what I have noticed, in iPhoto, on the Mac, you have to manually add the picture on the Photostream.

  • Streaming pics from Macbook Air onto iPad

    Hi all
    I recently delved into the world of the iPad. Now I've had a play around and got myself set up but I have one question.
    On my Macbook Air (iPhoto) and on my NAS I have lots of photos. Ideally when I'm on my home network I'd like to be able to stream them onto my iPad without having to physically add them onto my iPad.
    Is this possible? I was thinking this is how my iCloud account could help but apparently not.
    Cheers, Sam.

    OK, so now the video is no longer streaming (even from my iTunes library). I'm getting a msg on the my Sony HDTV that says "This content requires HDCP for playback. HDCP isn't supported by your HDMI connection. This content requires HDCP for playback". If my connection doesn't support HDCP (whatever that is), shouldn't I never have been able to stream video (instead of having the ability only 15 minutes ago)? I haven't changed any setup/configuration since having the ability to stream video.

    Yes. See iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ

    Changes have been made to Mavericks regarding syncing contacts and calendar. That needs to be done via iCloud now. Take a moment to search the More Like This area or search for Mavericks threads that should provide you with more information.

  • Syncing contacts from Yahoo Mail to IPad

    I have tried to sync my Yahoo contacts to my IPad without success. My wife, who also uses the IPad had been successful in syncing her Exchange contacts but I can't do so from Yahoo.
    When I set up Yahoo mail as an account, it doesn't give you the option (in settings) to sync contacts. In setting up an Exchange account (which my wife did) there is a spot to indicate synching contacts in Settings. Any ideas on how to fix?

    With your iPad connected to your computer go to the Info Pane and there are check boxes for syncing various items. From page 31 of the iPad Users Guide:
    Contacts
    You can sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo!
    Address Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book,
    Google Contacts, Windows Address Book (Microsoft Outlook Express), Windows
    Vista Contacts, or Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync
    contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with only one
    application at a time.)
    If you sync with Yahoo! Address Book, you only need to click Configure to enter your
    new login information when you change your Yahoo! ID or password after you’ve
    set up syncing.

  • Syncing issues between Macbook Air and Ipad

    Hi. I have an iPad 3 and the new Macbook Air. I am using the latest versions on both my devices.  When i connect my ipad via the cable it connects and disconnects immediately, and this keeps on happening again and again and again. I have tried both the USB ports and have the same error. My iPhone chares and connects perfectly on my air on the same ports as do all other devices.
    The iPad charges fine and also sycs via any other computer so for the life of me i cannot figure it out. Please help!
    Thanks.

    You will need to enable automatic downloads on the iPad and iPhone in order for the songs to be automatically be available
    Settings App
    iTunes & App Stores
    This only works for purchases made once this is enabled.
    For previous purchases launch the iTunes app on the iPad or iPhone and select more and then purchased to download.
