Syncing contacts of iPad and iphone

How do I get the contacts from an iphone on to my iPad and keep them in sync. Both are currently backed up to the icloud

Backing up to icloud is entirely different than syncing with it. Make sure that you're signed into the same icloud account on both devices and turn on 'contacts' under the icloud settings on both devices. If you've created the contacts on your device in the icloud account, they should be on both devices. They need to both be on a wifi network in order for them to contact the icloud server and give the contacts to the other device

How do i find which Apple ID is associated with music in my iTunes? When I sync with my iPad and iPhone it tells me I have music, apps etc from more than five IDs. I am asked for PW for a number of now extinct accounts.

Go to Settings/icloud. The Apple ID at the top of the screen is the only one you need to be concerned about. That one MUST be a working ID, and you must know the password for it, or you will be unable to use the phone if it ever crashes, you want to update it, or you want to sell it.

ITunes stopped syncing videos to iPad and iPhone

I have a bunch of TV shows purchased from iTunes store on my laptop (MacBook Air, OS X 10.8.2) which I routinely sync to my iPad and iPhone. After ungrading my iPhone to iOS 6, the sync stopped working to both iPhone and iPad (which I did not upgrade yet) with iTunes saying that I can not sync these videos because I do not have permission to play them on this computer. This is incorrect as this computer is authorized to play them, and I can actually play them on this computer. I've done all the tricks I've found suggested - reset iPhone (which I didn't think would work since the iPad is affected too), deactivate and activate my iTunes account, and am stuck. Thoughts?

Hey there kuyosh!
After reviewing your issue, I have an article to suggest that will help you troubleshoot the issues with your iPad. The following article will help you do some basic troubleshooting on any iPad issues you may be seeing and their interactions with syncing to the computer:

The specific section you want to pay attention to will be "If iPad doesn't appear in iTunes or you can't sync iPad." If you are still having issues after following the steps in that section of the article, you will want to restore the iPad by following the instructions in this article:

hiii . i have encountere a problem . my notes app are not syncing in my ipad and iphone . plz help

Hi marcmartineau,
I'm not sure why this is happening, but I think I'm seeing the same thing. Many times when I get an email on the iPad or iPhone with a picture attached, I don't see the picture but instead just a placeholder icon.
I have found a work around though to at least see the picture. If I forward it and include the attachment, I see the picture in the outgoing email. I can even save the image from the sending email if I really don't want to send it. If i do send it to myself, chances are I will see the picture in the email when I receive it even though it's just a resend of the original.
weird.

HT204053 I have set up i cloud but my calendars wont sync between MacBook, Ipad and iPhone. Is there a refresh style option or does anyone know what to do to make sure the calendar on my MacBook is the one that the other devices reads. Thanks everyone.

Don't spend a lot of time trying to change it. It's an iCloud problem that's happened before, and when it happened in August it went back to the correct colors in a few days. Just be careful when you add new items to the calendar to use the right calendar (even if the color is wrong), otherwise you'll have things out of synch when the correct colors come back.

Should data entered in apps purchased in the Apps Store sync on my iPad and iPhone?

Should data entered in apps purchased in the Apps Store sync on my iPad and iPhone?

Syncing between iOS devices should work automatically once you enable it for each app in its Settings. Syncing between iDevices and your desktop, at this time, is more comlicated.

just switched from a charter email to a gmail. i am syncing fine with ipad and iphone. But cannot get email to sync through outlook 2007.

How does iCloud have anything to do with this, you have 2 email accounts, neither of them an iCloud account?
If you want to get Gmail on your iPhone add it to your iPhone. Same goes for Outlook.

First, make sure that all your devices are using the same Apple ID in iMessages including your Mac. Second, your messages that you've already started on your devices will not show up on your Mac - only ones that you start from now on will show up. Third, if you're still not syncing accross all devices, make sure you read the directions on the first page of this thread. It should work after performing those steps. Good luck!

Having trouble synching contacts from ipad and iphone to iMac

Hello, I have an iMac with Yosemite and an iPad and iPhone with iOS 8 that are all fully updated. I am having trouble getting all of my contacts to sync to my iMac. They sync between the devices fine. After a lot of searching around I found that my iMac doesn't show my outlook account as one of my internet accounts for contacts. I get my mail no problem from outlook (hotmail) on my iMac. But when I try to set up another internet account on my iMac it doesn't show outlook as a possibility. I don't know why my ipad an phone are using outlook for contacts but they are and I don't seem to be able to switch it up. Any help would be very much appreciated.

I don't know much about sim cards (being a Verizon user), but having an iPhone 4S, mysteriouly having a SIM card slot, I notices a button in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars that said "import SIM contacts. I'm not sure how you get your contacts in a SIM card, but thats obviously how you import them onto your new iPhone.
Thank you for choosing Apple.

I upgraded my wife's iMac to Mountain Lion. When I try to set up her cloud connection to sync with her iPad and iPhone, it says it is sending a verification email, but it never arrives. Any way around this. Her phone and iPad seem to already be in sync .

When I try to set up my wife's Cloud account after upgrading to Mountain Lion, I click on the "send verification email" box, but the email never arrives. Her iPad and iPhone already seem to sync up in the Cloud, but no storage is being used. Any suggestions on how to get the account on her iMac?

A friend gave me her VAIO laptop.How can I remove her ITUNES library and use mine which I want to sync with my Ipad and Iphone?

A Friend gave me her VAIO laptop.How can I remove her ITUNES library and use my library. Want to sync my Ipad and Iphone to My library.

I believe when you plug her old iPhone in to your computer it will notify you that the phone is synced with another library and ask if you want to register it with your library. At least this is how iPods work. I'm not sure about iPhones. If you want to actually use the phone as your own you may need to go through AT&T.
If you're just looking to use the iPhone as an iPod (without the phone portion of it) you may run in to some problems. The iPhone really wants to be on a cell network all the time. I think you'd have to jailbreak it to get it to work properly as an iPod.
Let us know what happens when you plug the phone in to your computer.

Once Imessage has been set up and sync between your ipad and iPhone. Then sign out of the imessage account on your ipad, if you were to sign back in would any conformation email or text be sent to you again informing you that you are now signed back in?

I have the new iPad and iPhone 4s. iMessage has already been set up syncing these two devices before, but I am now logged out on my iMessage on the iPad but still logged in on the iPhone.
My question is, if I sign back into the iMessage on my iPad will Apple send any confirmation to my Email address or phone number stating that I am now receiving iMessages etc on both the iPad and iPhone and that these's two devices are now synced again?!?
*please note that the two devices have been previously set up for iMessage and synced to both receive them, it's just a case of me signing back in on the iPad, but I would like to know if Apple send any confirmation that a certain device is now receiving the messages also, I'm assuming they must for security reasons but I guess if you've already set up the two devices they might not.
Any help would be great, thank you

No need for alarm. There are several folks a day posting like threads. Most folks know these phishing attempts for what they are and merely delete with prejudice.
To the bottom line... if you wish - and I am sure Apple will take notice - you should FORWARD the email to [email protected] and delete.
