Syncing Ipad messed up my contacts

When I set up my Ipad the contacts are missing data fields that were on the computer. Thus when syncing Iphone it synced the missing data to the iphone as well. ***?

HI Brian,
Reset your iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Now try to sync your contacts. Make sure the sync process is finished before disconecting your iPad.

  • Syncing ipad mini with google contacts

    Hi Folks
    Well back in the iOs ownership with an ipad mini. My day to day mobile is a moto razr droid and i have my contacts linked with google contacts. I have also linked my hotmail account to share google contacts. When i view both sets they match my mobile.
    On the ipad mini i have set my mail as hotmail and tis works fine, i have sync'd my contacts to iCloud and Hotmail. This is where the probs are. The ipad address book shows an out dated list. when i go to groups and uncheck iCloud so that it shows only hotmail contacts it doesn't match the contact i have on hotmail.
    Can't fing where to force a sync either. Both accounts are set to push sync.
    Have searched online and spend the evening trying to sort, any help greatly appreciated. ps at the mo not using itunes. just OTA sync.

    I have had a similar problem. I can't find "contacts cleaner" in versiontracker. Is this an iphone app?

  • Cannot sync ipad with Outlook 2010 contacts. help

    I called techsupport when I was unable to sync my Outlook 2010 contacts with my Ipad2. The techie told me I could only sync from earlier versions of Outlook (seems kinda dumb).  She said I could sync from my gmail contacts but when I tried this gmail told me "25% of the content in your content will change on your computer". Ideas?

    The iPad manual says :
    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, 2007, or 2010 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.)
    So you should be able to sync contacts from Outlook 2010.  I don't think Outlook 2010 was supported on the original iPad until iOS 4.2+ was installed, but the iOS on the iPad 2 has (I think) always been high enough.
    What happens when you try ?

  • Successfully using Exchange to Sync iPad, iPhone, Gmail (PC) contacts. If I lose my iPhone and contacts were erased I would lose them everywhere! Backup!

    I am successfully using Exchange to keep my contacts in sync on my ipad,iPhone and gmail(windows 7). But I think that if I lost my iPhone and someone cleaned out the contacts,then I would also lose the contacts on my Gmail and iPad. How can I do a regular backup of the contacts?

    Im not sure that you can restore your Google Contacts from the iPhone Backup.
    Try this: Go to gmail page on your desktop browser then in Contacts, click More and select "Restore Contacts".

    I currently use an iPhone, an iPad, and a Mac computer for business.  The three devices have Contacts Managers that sync with each other through both Google and through Mobile Me.  Currently, this has created a mess of duplicate contacts.  Please advise me on the steps necessary for removing these duplicates and establishing a syncing solution that doesn't regenerate the duplicates.  There are several applications available that remove duplicates, but I am not sure which ones work or don't work.  I want information on this, but most importantly I want to understand how to fix this problem permanently.  Also, I read somewhere that Mac's new operating system, Lion, can help deal with duplicates.  I don't have Lion, but I would be willing to get it, if this would fix the problem.

    Had the same problem with 4 devices (two computers, an iPhone and an iPod). The solution is simple: open the Address Book application in your mac, ask it to locate duplicate entries (under one of the top menu items, "edit" I think), and then ask it to consolidate them: it took me all of three seconds after I figured it out: worked like a charm! PS: if you have more than one mac with unconected Address Books, repeating the operation in the second one may be a good idea.

  • Syncing iPad to Outlook Contacts on my PC

    I have decided not to use the iCloud for syncing because my contacts list has too much private data. I know iCloud is supposedly a secrure site, but I don't trust that much personal info of my friends and family on the Internet. So I am using iTunes to sync my calendar and my contacts to my iPad. (1st generation iPad recently updated to iOS 5.0.1)
    The calendar syncing is going really well. No problems there. But the syncing of Contacts is presenting me a problem in regards to "groups" on the iPad and "Categories" in Outlook. I have a lot of categories set up in Outlook that I rely on to manage my contact list. This seems to not translate to the "groups" on my iPad contact list. Can I reconcile these two tools? What's the best approach for me to use?
    Thanks in advance for any/all replies and help!

  • After syncing iPad Air with iTunes the Info Page no longer shows up.  Doesn't matter if I sync via wi-fi or try another computer.  Without the Info Page how do I sync my calander/contacts/mail ??

    After syncing iPad Air with iTunes the Info Page no longer shows up.  Doesn't matter if I sync via wi-fi or try another computer.  Without the Info Page how do I sync my calander/contacts/mail ??

    I think there's a big ol' discussion in the Mavericks forum about this - some folks have suggested setting up your own CalDAV server so you can continue syncing without having to route things through iCloud.
    It may be simpler to go back to Mountain Lion or Lion (assuming you were on either of those). My syncing computer is on Lion and can't go higher so I didn't realize until recently that USB syncing over contacts & calendars was no longer available!

  • How do I sync my iPad to transfer my contacts to my new MacBook Pro?

    How do I sync my iPad to transfer my contacts to a newly purchased MacBook Pro?

    Hi DennaFromFL.
    What a great question! Here's an excellent article that covers how to sync content from your iPad to your computer:
    iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1296
    I found that the section "Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks and Notes" had the information that you were looking for:
    Contacts
    To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" on your Mac.
    You can sync your contacts with:
    Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7)
    Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
    Windows Contacts (Windows Vista / Windows 7)
    Address Book (Mac OS X)
    Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
    Note: If using Microsoft Entourage, use Microsoft Entourage 2008 12.1.2 or later if syncing with Mac OS X v10.6 or later. If you would like to sync data on your Mac with Entourage, enable syncing between Entourage and Address Book.
    Notes:
    When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
    You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
    Additional options for syncing include syncing your contacts with Yahoo or Gmail/Google Mail. You will need to configure it with the user name and password for your Yahoo or Google account.
    Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities to find your answers.

  • HT1692 Have recently installed itunes and outlook on a new computer.  Have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, Help!

    My new computer is 64-bit running Windows 7 pro, SP1 and Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus 32-bit
    My phone is a 4S runing iOS 6.1.3
    Very frustrated now that I have recently installed itunes and outlook on this new computer.  Everything worked perfectly ok on my laptop which was also 64-bit Windows 7 and running 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Pro.  I have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, when I sync the calendar and contacts are empty.  Not sure if there is any way to point itunes to particular address books and calendars.
    I have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times and thank goodness have a backup
    Can anyone help please?
    thanks in anticipation

    I had my home computer set up to sync to work's Exchange server. It worked well, but I didn't like seeing work email messages and other programs trying to sync with my default Outlook folder, which was then the Exchange (& work related) .ost file. I know there are various ways to manage those problems using filters, view, subfolders, etc., but it was a hassle for me. I think it could work well for many other folks.
    For now, I have published my work calendar and subscribed to that calendar on my home computer. So I have view only access to my calendar on my home computer (and I can add/edit calendar items on my iPad (or Outlook Web Access) when away from work). This is not quite what I wanted, but it may work.
    It almost makes me long for the days when I used my Windows Mobile Treo to sync back and forth between exchange at work and outlook at home (but had many sync conflicts as a result).

  • How to stop to sync ipad apps with itunes without loosing everything?

    My iPad is synching it's apps with itunes. Now that we have icloud, my ipad already has a backup in the cloud, and the PC backup of my apps is no longer useful. My goal is to stop my apps to sync with itunes on my PC because it is useless, it takes a lot of space on my hard drive (with many apps other 1-2GB each), because it drains my network bandwidth when it syncs, and finally because it makes my music synching with itunes extremely long (because it needs to sync all apps when it sync the music), and all of that without any use.
    I tryed to simply uncheck "sync my apps" , but itunes wants to delete all my app and app data if I do so. I searched online and found out that some tryed to let itunes erase them, then use the icloud backup, but it seems that the icloud backup also backup the "sync my apps is checked", so it is not working. I tryed contacting Apple directly but for itunes they say we have to use the Fast Land, which cost money, which is conter logic (why should we pay to report bugs and get support for an unworking product that should work properly in the first place?), and also very frustrating.
    I got poor support by Apple over the years, but I now that the best support often comes from the people that uses the product itself, and that is why I am trying to get the answer from you guys over the support communities.
    None of us is paid to help each other, so thank you in advance for your time!
    PS: Apple; fast lane needs to be free, it's not normal to have to pay to get the service every company in the world gives freely...

    How do I keep these computers in sync in iTunes without iTunes re-arranging my iPhone home screen and corresponding app icons?
    You don't.  Each sync-able item (apps, music, contacts, calendar, etc) can only have one source.  You don't see it because all of the iTunes libraries have the same apps, but if they didn't, it'd be adding and deleting apps too.  So each type you sync, the one you're currently syncing with becomes the authority.
    Since you state that your goal is for all the libraries to match, there's no reason to be syncing them all.  Pick one, designate it as the authority, and on the other two, don't sync apps.
