  • Contacts sync on iphone and ipad but not on Macbook

    Hi guys, maybe someone can help me out wit this this problem.
    I have the iPhone 4s, Ipad3 and a PC, iCloud was working operfectly bewteen all devices. I recentlky bought the new Macbook air and when I turned iCloud on all my contacts cam in automaticaly.
    My surprise came later when I realized that not all contacts where in my Mac. I checked my iPhone and Ipad and all where there. I then checked iCloud.com and not all my contacts where there. So this is very strange. I cloud transferred the contacs bewteen my iphone and Ipad but not into iCloud.com and to my Mac.
    I did a test with one of the contacts and deleted and create it again and then this was transferred to iCloud and to my Mac, but I really do not want to do this with all my contacts.
    Anyone can help me out with this???
    Thanks,
    Michel

    POP mail is not synced. POP mail is picked up individually by each email client. If you want to pick up less on one device than the other, set the one device you want to master the account with to delete mail from the server after you pick it up. That way, it would not be available to the other mail clients. Otherwise, you would need to delete whatever mail you do not want on the individual devices. You can also keep in on whatever devices you want and it will not affect the other devices.

  • Airport extreme will connect to some iPhones and iPads, but not all, and will not connect to MacBooks.

    Why will the airport extreme not connect internet to macbook or some iPhones? It will connect to all our iPhone 6's and iPads but not to the MacBooks. The macbook says wi-fi has the self assigned ip address of ___,____,____,___ and will not be able to connect to the internet,

    Have you done a full restart of the network in correct order?
    Shut down everything.. OFF not standby.
    Power on in order.
    Modem.. wait 2min
    Router.. (Extreme??) wait 2min
    Macbook.. Only the Macbook.. do restart anything else yet.
    Any luck??
    No luck reset the Extreme to factory and redo the setup.. this time use all short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Bonus for names <10 characters.
    Use passwords with the same rules.. only can be 8-20 characters.. mixed case and numbers.
    Try again with the Macbook..
    No luck give explicit details of the setup of the whole network.

  • ICloud syncing iPhones and iPad but not to iCloud nor my Mac

    I have two iPhones, an iPad and two MacBooks. iCloud is used for syncing the content. This all works ok, except for the Address book. Address book content is synced only between the iDevices but neither to the iCloud Web-Portal nor to my Macs. This is very puzzling because I thought all the synchronization is done through iCloud, so how can the iCloud Portal and my Macs be left out. Especially given the fact, that the calendar sync works perfectly.
    Here's what I did to verify:
    - create a new address record named "test iPhone" on my iPhone. The record shows up on my iPad, but not in the web and not on my Macs
    - create a new address record named "test iPad" on my iPad. The record show up on my iPhone, but not on the web and not on my Macs.
    - create a new address record named "test Mac" on my Mac. The record shows up in the web and on my iDevices
    - create a new address record named "test Web" via iCloud web interface. The record shows up on my Macs, but not on the iDevices
    any ideas?

    You can have each individual service turned on or off, so while you may not be using 2 iCloud accounts, it is perfectly possible to use 2 accounts and get exactly the results you are getting.
    Why don't you look to see if you are using 2 accounts, you could check settings > mail, contacts and calendars on your phone and iPad or just look at the contacts app.

  • TS4036 I cant access my Itune store from my PC. I have entered my ID but still can't access the store. I have tried removing it and re-installing it but to no avail. I can access the Itunes store with Iphone and Ipad but not my PC.

    I can't access my itune store through my PC. I have tried removing and reinstalling Itunes,but to no avail. I also tried accessing trough I cloud on my pc but it say apple ID not correct but my Apple ID works on all my other devices such as Iphone 4s and Ipad 2. If I go to Icloud.com I can access my account but can't get to Itune store.
    Help
    Thanks

    The apps I currently have are for the i phone and i pad but i would like to see this on this computer
    On the Mac Air launch iTunes. Then connect either the iPad or iPhone.
    Select the iPad or iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window in the source list.
    Then select Apps from the menu on the right.
    If you don't see the apps listed there, from your iTunes menu bar (top of your screen), click Store > Authorize This Computer.
    See if that makes a difference...

  • Started getting repeat copies of deleted emails on iPhone and iPad, but not iMac...any solutions?

    I've started getting repeat copies of deleted emails, every time I turn on my iPhone or iPad...but not my Mac...any solutions?
    Thanks

    The inkjet spam email is the same one that is causing my iPad's issue! I'm having the exact same problem as you're having --touching the email or having the email at the top of the screen freezes/shuts down ipad. I've been to two Apple stores and no one seems to know what's going on, plus, they claim they haven't heard of this problem i suggested they go to the Apple Commnity to get a feel for what's going on.
    No, the issue has never been resolved!!

  • Incessant dropping of Wifi on both iPhone and iPad but not laptop

    I have a Verison MiFi (Samsung unit) which I use with my laptop, my iPad 3 and my iPhone.
    I have no problems at all with the laptop but, within the past week (when I updated IOS on the devices) the phone and iPad have started dropping the WiFi connection every five minutes or so. I go to utilities and recheck it, and it hooks right up with no problems, then five minutes later the same thing again. The laptop is able to stay connected during this entire time.
    This happens whether the MiFi is in the next room or less than a foot away from the iPad or iPhone.
    What I've tried so far:
         Resetting the MiFi to its factory settings
         Closing all apps running on iPad and iPhone and rebooting both devices
         Not using my Bluetooth headphones and turning off Bluetooth
    None of these has fixed the problem.
    Is there a way to roll back to the previous IOS version which had no problems? Any other ideas? Thanks

    tasks are reminders, that are synced with your apple id. If they use your apple id - they should not have a problem. I suspect that your ownership of the list only allows them reading privileges on Outlook and hence does not sync to their apple id.

  • How can I sync email on iPhone and iPad but NOT PC laptop?

    It's a COX POP email and I keep more on my laptop and  in folders than I want on my phone or iPad.

    POP mail is not synced. POP mail is picked up individually by each email client.

  • This is the closest community that might solve the followingroblem:  Icloud is supposed to work from a pc.  It works fine from my iphone and ipad but not my pc.  I keep getting the error message: ApplePhotostreams.exe has stopped working.

    Iclouds is supposed to work from my PC but doesn't.  Loaded the program several times.  I have all the corrected software.  I keep getting the error message: ApplePhotoStreams.exe has stopped working.  Anybody out there that uses icloud with a PC???

  • Reminders not working on iPhone and iPad, but are on MacBook Pro

    My reminders on my MacBook Pro are showing up 24 hours in advance of the set time for that reminder, but they are not showing up on my iPad 3 and iPhone 5. I have to power the iPad and iPhone off for the reminders to show up in the notification center. Does anyone know what's going on or how to fix this?

    Hi Bartman27p229,
    If your Reminders are not appearing on your iPad 3 and iPhone 5 automatically in notification center, here is an article of troubleshooting steps by device:
    iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Reminders and Tasks
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4000
    You may also want to verify that Notification Center is set up as you would like for Reminders:
    iOS: Understanding Notifications
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3576
    Step 4 of Troubleshooting Notifications explains:
    Check Settings > Notifications to ensure that the app is configured for notifications.
    If notifications do not appear only in the Notification Center, verify that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled.
    Cheers!

  • I cannot get iCalendar to display in List view on my computer since I downloaded Yosemite.  It works on my iPhone and iPad but not on my computer.  Any suggestions?

    Since downloading Yosemite, I can no longer view my calendar days in iCal in "List View".  I still have this view option available on my iOS devices.  Is there a setting on my computer to get "List View" back for iCal?  Or, is this feature no longer available on the computer?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
        3.    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
        4.    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
        5.    Restart your router.
        6.    Restart your mobile device.

  • TS3276 I'm now having trouble getting mac mail to work on my mac. The mobile me account works great on iphone and ipad but it won't connect to my mail account. Password is correct. What else can I do? Using OS10.68

    HI,
    The Apple IDs from @mac.com and @me.com (Older MobileMe and more recent iCloud Names) are also Valid AIM Screen names.
    Any other sort of Apple ID is not a Valid AIM Name.
    A Google ID that is associated with Google Mail Account (And has "Talk" enable on your Google Settings) can be used in iChat as  Jabber Name/ID.  (Google Run  Jabber server).
    Jabber and AIM are different IM Services and it is not easy or straight forward to add Buddies from one Service to the Buddy List of another.  (As A Starting point consider it "impossible")
    iChat 4 and 5 have links to the registration page of @Mac.com here with a "Get an iChat Account" button in the add (Account) screen  (You select @mac.com or MobileMe and then press the Button - Choosing AIM and then pressing the button used to lead to the AIM registration page but AIM moved their page).
    Apple IDs can be any valid email (or an @mac.com or iCloud registration)
    Therefore you could make a Google ID into an Apple ID.
    However this will not be a valid AIM Screen Name the way @mac.com or MobileMe/iCloud ones are.

  • I just hooked up Internet at my house today and I'm trying to connect to it on my IPhone and IPad but neither are connecting. My grandma's Android phone is connected and is working just fine. Why isn't any of my apple products working?

    Since you give no clue as to what make/model/version WiFi router you are using or how you have it configured it's hard to comment.
