Why aren't my contacts not syncing between my iPhone and iPad ?

I normally add contacts onto my iPhone and I noticed that the new ones are not appearing on my iPad contacts so I end up having to share them via messages or email. Anyone know why this is happening? Thanks.

First things to check is to make sure iCloud is on on both devices and you are signed I n to the same account on each device. Also check to make sure Contacts syncing is on on both devices.

  • Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

    Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

    I think I may be having the same issue In a round about kind of way.  Just got an iPhone4S ... everything worked great until today when I started tinkering with the settings in my new phone and noticed my cloud was getting full and I had two iPhone back ups on there at 4GB a piece.  So.... I deleted the old back up of the iPhone4 and after that is when I started noticing issues.  The cloud on my phone can no longer authenticate itself , unable to tell me when the last back up was, and will not perform a back up at all. Furthermore I am unable to download apps or updates on my iphone4S, they all sit in "waiting" status....
    I also must say that I purchased an iPad 2 and still have my original ipad in the house and active.  Both back ups are in the cloud and both devices work fine independently and can download apps and back up fine as well. I'm pretty sure this may be the culprit concerning this issue and I too have no idea how to fix it. Please Help!!!

    You don't sync the MM calendar anymore, you subscribe to it in iCal,
    iCal>Preferences>Accounts, enter the details here.
    MM should be the default calendar on all clients.

  • Why is my iCal not syncing with my iPhone and iPad?

    After upgrading to iOS5 and all the iCloud things, my iCal is not syncing with my iPhone or my iPad.  I've tried all the setting, but cannot figure out what I'm doing or not doing that it won't sync.  I checked the Cloud and the calendar is there.  Can anyone help?

    I had this problem, too. To reiterate, events on the iPad and iCloud were loading down into iCal on my Macbook Pro, but events I put on my MacBook Pro were not migrating back.
    It comes down to which calendar the event is listed under. In iCal (right now) your default calendars are all local. If you change the event to an iCloud calendar, the migration is seamless. So, when you create an event, just scroll down in calendars, pick the iCloud equivalent to the "On my Mac" calendars (they're mirrored/duplicated) and it all works just fine.
    I hope that helps.

  • HT1535 My iMessages will not sync with my iPhone and iPad , they did before. I plugged them both to my computer to my iTunes account and tried re booting as well

    I am having trouble getting my iPhone and iPad to sync in my iMessage app. I tried plugging them into my computer to iTunes and re-booting  they did before and now the iMessage win't sync. Any suggestions?

    Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
    I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.

  • Contacts do not sync between Windows7 PC and iPad 2 and iPhone 4

    Hi,
    I have installed iCloud on my PC, ipad 2 and iPhone 4s and until 2 weeks back, all the data used to sync seamlessly between all the three devices. However, since last two weeks, my iPad2 and iPhone 4s does sync contacts, photos,etc between each other but my Windows 7 PC does not get the updated information. I have looked at all the settings on my PC but cannot seem to figure what could be the problem. On my Outlook also I have refreshed teh iCloud account multiple times, yet I do not receive the new contacts uploaded on iPad /iPhone.
    Please help!!!!!!!!
    Regards,
    Aastha

    What contact list is set as default on the device?  Does the rest of Outlook sync properly? 

  • Why are apps not syncing between my iPhone and iTunes?

    Hi!  When I connect my iPhone to my computer and sync with iTunes, everything gets synced except my apps!  If I get a new app in iTunes, it will not sync across to my iPhone.  I have to download the app from the App Store on my iPhone.  If I delete an app from my iTunes, it does not delete on my iPhone.  I have to delete it myself from the iPhone.  I cannot move apps across iPhone pages in iTunes and have it sync to my iPhone, either.  Yes, my iTunes is authorized, and the Run Diagnostics all works with no errors.  What am I doing wrong?  What setting do I need to change?  Thanks!

    I just want to clarify that the syncing process goes through all its steps:  preparing, contacts, calendars, notes, email accounts,... then "determining apps to sync" flashes really fast, and the syncing ends without doing anything with my apps!

  • How do i get my contacts to sync with mac, iphone and iPad?

    I am having troubel getting my contacts sync between the ipad, iphone and mac.  Do you have any suggestions

    If you already have an iCloud account, on the Mac, go to Contacts Menu Bar/Contacts/Preferences/Accounts/Select your iCloud account: Select "Enable this Account.
    Tha same basic idea applies to the Contacts Preferences on the iPad and iPhone

  • HT4990 Does Cards sync between devices (iPhone and iPad)?

    When creating a Card on one device and saving it as a draft, will it sync via iCloud to other devices too?  Same question for already purchased (sent) Cards?

    My problem was that I had NOTES generated before I began using iCloud, so they were associated with a different email address that was set-up as a POP3 account and was not tied to my apple ID.  As soon as I created a new IMAP account on both devices for that same email address the NOTES sync'd immediately. 
    You can see the email account that the NOTES are associated with by tapping on the ACCOUNTS button in the upper left of the NOTES screen.

  • Contacts not syncing between phones iPhone 4 to iphone 5 after upgrading to ios8 on iphone 5

    after upgrading my phone to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5... When ever I add contacts to iPhone 4 they no longer add to 5 automatically like it did before I think this was due to iCloud ... I made sure both have this on but on iPhone 4 when I click groups in contacts it only shows facebook ... Not iCloud anymore

  • EPub books not syncing between Maverick iBooks and iPad

    The books on my Mac won't sync to my iPad. I can read them fine on my laptop but can't transfer them. I tried moving the files to ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/Books as was suggested somewhere here but they still won't sync. I cannot buy ebooks from the iBook store because there is none in my country; how am I supposed to read them on my iPad/iPhone?

    Hey, calm down everyone.
    There IS indeed a solution to this. You only have to do 2 simple steps that all your books are wirelessly updated no matter where you annotate them, on Mac with Mavericks or on iDevices running iOS7.
    On Mvericks, the auto update feature is already set to be syncing. Go to the iBooks Preference > General and check the Sync Notes, bookmarks etc. This is a default setting. So there's nothing to do.
    Then go to your iDevice and open up Settings > iBooks > Check the Sync Bookmarks and Sync Collections.
    Then comes the magic. Everything will set up and sync automatically. Everything from notes, highlights and colections.
    Voilla! 

  • My icloud will not sync between my ihpone and ipad

    I've got an ipad and iphone 4, and I have an Icloud accont on both items.
    Although, they want sync... Not bookmarks, pictures, calender...
    Someone who know what to do??

    1. get sure you have the same icloud account (AppleID) on both devices
    2. try to remove the icloud account from a single device first - keep your data locally saved on the device
    3. re - enter your icloud account on that single device and merge data if prompted for
    4. goto : icloud.com and log in with your AppleID used with iCloud Sync
    5. get sure that the device Data is on iCloud.com synced well

  • Why are my key photos of my events in iphoto on the mac not syncing with my iphone and ipad?

    anyone?

    Since iPhoto can handle 1,000,000 photos probably not
    a wild guess is event sort - view menu ==> sort event
    If you give us some details we can help - what version of iPhoto and of the OS? How much free space do you have on your hard drive?
    what exactly are you seeing happen? any error messages? any recent changes?
