Updating 'Address Book' in iPad 2Why when i , iPhone 5, ad MacBook Pro

Why when I make a change in 'Address Book" on any device;  the other devices are not automatically updated?
I have 'Contacts' at the 'On' position on all devices inlcuding Preferences>iCloud, on the MacBook.
Thank you

The best thing to try is, starting with one device, turn off Contacts and then back on and do an update - check it on the Mac to see if it is getting pushed (this is not instantaneous - give it 5 mintues or so). If that doesn't help, then delete the iCloud account from the device and add it back on, check the options to make sure Contacts is still = ON, and try an update again, checking the Mac to see if it gets pushed.
If the one device start pushing to the Mac, double check the other devices to see if it got pushed to them or not. If it did not, then one by one, repeat the process above.
Cheers,
GB

  • ITunes error message when syncing iPhone 5 w/MacBook Pro

    I have been syncing my iPhone 5 (32GB) with my MacBook Pro for 2.5 years and still had about 2-3GB empty (I know, should allow more free space).  Suddenly, having added nothing except maybe a couple new events in Calendar, I'm getting an iTunes message when I try to sync saying that it cannot sync as there isn't enough memory -- with a note in parentheses that an additional 13+GB are needed).  I thought I'd seen this addressed here before, but in searching for an answer, I wasn't able to pull anything up.
    I have shut down my computer and rebooted several times, but doesn't change anything.  Any help would be much appreciated.

    I'm having the same problem, except I used to have 12 GB of music on my iPhone that is now gone, and the same disc space now says "Other", but there is no music on the iPod. I've tried the 5 R's, is it a glitch? I didn't have this problem until I updated yesterday. Everytime I sync, it tells me there is not enough space to download the music. What is the "Other" category? I can't find any info on it at all. Also, I am NOT a computer guru, I'm a nurse, so be gentle!

  • When syncing iphone 5 to macbook pro, photos will not sync

    when i connect my phone to my computer I get a pop up saying my camera cannot be found. what can i do to fix this? none if my photos are backed up on my comupter.
    Also, when i plug in headphones to my phone, i can only hear music in one ear bud. i have tried multiple different headphone/earbud sets and brands, still get the same malfunction.

    Also, I've tried syncing with iTunes Wi-Fi Sync but the latest music I have put on the MacBook Air will not transfer across.  I can't figure it out.  I hope someone can assist.

    The point is that someone has to program this function and maintain it as well.

    There are separate Bluetooth apps available.
    An app cannot add Bluetooth profiles that iOS does not have.
    OK, that's it then ... no Bluetooth possible in this particular case!

  • When I compose an E-mail my address book will not open when I click on TO or CC, but it does work on other computers and also if I use explorer.

    My address book will not show when I click on the TO or CC button, a mozilla page does open but there is no content. My E-mail accounts work fine on other computers. It also works fine on this computer if I use Explorer instead.

  • Maverick won't permit syncing Address Book or Calendar by USB to iPhone or iPad and permits only syncing by iCloud, which I don't want to use.  Any ideas on how to sync without using iCloud?

    Maverick won't permit syncing Address Book or Calendar by USB cable from my MacBook Air to my iPhone and iPad and permits  syncing only by iCloud.  Mountain Lion permitted this via the Info tab on iTunes.  I don't want to use iCloud.  Any ideas with Maverick on how to sync Address Book and Calendar from computer to iPhone and iPad without using iCloud?

    ymcneil - thanks for the work around. But isn't it amazing Apple forces us to do this to maintain our privacy.
    I live in Australia where there are good privacy laws protecting  citizens. I do not want to be forced to use iCloud when the data sits in  the USA with weaker privacy laws and also able to be seen by the US  Government under the Patriot Act. Further I suspect Apple will  interrogate my contacts and calendar for commercial purposes and I do  not want that either.
    I  chose to synch my calendar and contacts with my iphone and ipad. I have  relied for years on carrying around my phone with my diary on it. I can  no longer do that.
    Whoever  made this decision at Apple has to be someone who knows little about  the world. I can actually see EU regulators getting very annoyed by  this.
    I too woud like the itunes mac to iphone/ipad local backup given back.
    In the meantime - thanks for the work around

  • Can't accurately update Address Book from LinkedIn vCard

    Hi everybody,
    Unlike when I used Outlook for Windows, I have had trouble updating Address Book with LinkedIn vCards.  If a contact leaves one company for another and I try to update his information, the new company name and title end up being put into the notes field in Address Book. I asked LinkedIn this and got the following reply:
    Thanks for reaching out to us - Sorry to hear that importing your contacts isn't working.
    Unfortunately, this feature works best with Windows products, like Outlook and was not designed for use with Apple products.
    I find this unacceptable and would love any suggestions as to a plugin or extension to make this work.
    Thanks!
    Doug

    I'm not sure if this will help.
    I have saved some sheets in csv format from Excel, but it seems that the import function from the address book doesn't accept the csv extension.
    Saving the data in a txt file did solve the issue.
    Make sure that your file extension is .txt and that the data is tab of semicolon delimited.

  • Updating Address Book

    What happened before when I received an updated address book was an option to update their address. It's gone away now and only option when viewing their address attachment is to add. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    The details of this person in your address boko are slightly different to what is in the email/attachement.
    Of course you've got additional details, but I am referring to the key fields (sorry, I dont know what these are).
    Perhaps the perons name has an extra middle initial, or is missnig the midddle initial, or the mobile number is the work phone field, etc but the fields are different and thus it thinks this is a NEW contact.
    Best option is to Add the contact and then delete the old one. After all, the new one should have all his details.

  • 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.

  • My address book does not open when I click on the "To" bar in an email.

    I recently upgraded to Thunderbird 4.1.0. Since that time my address book does not open when I try to address an email from the "To" or other lines. I have to manually open the address book and cut and paste the address. How can I reconnect the address book to the email program?

    Thank you. You solved my problem. I appreciate it.

    Iam trying to download data from a group in my address book into Numbers.  When I click on the data to move and drag to Numbers nothing happens.  Using OS X ver 10.9.2 iMac

    With Numbers 3.2 (released April 2014) drag and drop works on my machine again, either onto the canvas or into an existing table.
    What also works (as Wayne described): select multiple contacts, command-c to copy, and (after clicking the canvas or a cell) command-v to paste.

  • Mac won't update Address Book from iPod

    Should changes made to "Contacts" on my Touch transfer over to "Address Book" on my Mac when I sync? I noticed today that changes I've made on the Mac ARE moving to the Touch, but not vice versa.

    Of course they should.
    I am at work and don't have my home Mac in front of me so this is a bit from memory... You need to tell it to.
    Plug in your iPod touch
    In iTunes, click on your iPod and go to the "Info" tab.
    Under Contacts there are setting to control this.
    let me know...

  • 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 &amp; 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.

  • 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.
