Why my iPad contacts not syncing?

with my computer?

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 do Telephone contacts NOT sync with Contacts?

    When someone calls me and I Create a new Contact from the phone number, the contact appears in the Phone App, but not in Contacts?
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks in advance, Cheers, Veit
    iOS7.04 on the iPhone, OSX Mountain Lion on Mac

    Tried to post as a new question but getting the alert "I cannot create new content"?? 
    This started about a week ago, same time as when iMessage appeared on the desktop.  iTunes and iPhone4s are both updated.  I did the latest iTunes update last night hoping it would be fixed but still the same. 
    Settings iCloud both contact and calendars are turned on.  iTunes is set up to back up to the Cloud.  I've also switched to backing up to the Computer. 
    I change Calendar on the computer and it always syncs the iPhone.  Contacts almost always add on the iPhone but they never sync to computer.  I notice iMessage only shows contact names from before this happened.  Otherwise it says the phone number on the desktop and the full contact on iPhone.
    Any refs or suggestions much appreciated. 
    thx

  • Why are my contacts not syncing

    When I enter a new contact on my phone, I am finding that when I sync the contact are not showing up in Outlook.  I have checked the settings, and they are showing that contact should be syncing.  I suspect that it is something to do with iCloud which seems to be very selective with the calendars as well
    Can any one help, I am very confused!

    Do you have any email addresses set up on your phone? MobileMe? Google? Exchange?

  • Why are my contacts not syncing from my iphone to my mac?

    I enter phone numbers on my iphone, but they don't seem to be showing up on my computer, even after I have synced.  I have no idea why.  I'm thinking of shutting off iCloud (I don't see any benefit to it right now, unless I'm using it wrong), will that help?  I'm getting very frustrated having to enter contacts twice (one in my phone when I'm out and about, and another time if I want it on my computer's address book).

    Have you done any of Apple's recommended troubleshooting?
    See: iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts
    It's also helpful to mention what OS you are using on your iPhone and Mac.

  • IPad 3 not syncing music or videos from iTunes.  Can any one help?

    Hi everyone!  First time in submitting a question for me.  Driven to doing it by my iPad 3 not syncing music with iTunes.  In fact it almost seems to be automatically deleting music from my iPad for some reason.  Had a look down similar questions and issues but not real solutions appear to be coming up.  Was working fine about 3 or so weeks ago then simply started developing this issue.  Backs up ok but then says it is waiting for the changes to be applied then a few seconds or so later it says it is complete when it isn't.
    Hope Apple are looking into rectifying this?
    All help gratefully received, thank you!!

    Hi Graham2307 and everyone else.  I too have a similar problem, and similarly this is my first post also.  Apart from your question I found I couldn't find any similar questions or solutions.
    I have quite a few different Apple products all of which have no problem with syncing, backing up and transfering purchases when I connect to itunes on my computer...... apart from my iPad 2 (iOS 7.0.4).  Apart from tonight the last time I connected my iPad 2 to my computer, about 3 weeks ago, there was no problem syncing.
    Then when I have tried tonight to do the same the iPad backs up, then says that it is waiting for sync to start, preparing to sync, waiting for changes to be applied, but all of this takes less than 2 seconds and when i check the pad it hasn't synced my updated apps from my computer to the iPad.  I have kept re-syncing my iPad and sometimes the number of apps that need updating might reduce by a maximum of 2, but most times it doesn't reduce.  I am now stuck with 44 apps that are showing up on my iPad as needing to be updated.  There is no logical process or pattern to why it doesn't update and/or rarely updates 2.
    I could update my apps from the App Store on my iPad, but i don't see why I should download them again when they are all up to date on my computer, when a simple sync to the computer and a couple of minutes wait and 'bob's your uncle' and 'fanny's your aunt' I can go on with using my iPad in blissful ignorance once more.
    I'm sorry I haven't answered your question Graham2307, but merely added to the burden that yours is carrying.
    I too hope Apple are looking into this as it has become a real pain keep pressing sync and hoping something might happen.
    Any help would be appreciated, Many thanks!

  • Why my ipad can not update the ios7.1.1

    why my ipad can not update the ios 7.1.1

    Hello there, crivera350.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for if you are unable to update your iOS device:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.
    Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
    Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
    Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
    When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
    iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
    Use iTunes to restore your device.
    If you don't see your device in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • My Mac and iPad are not syncing. what am I doing wrong?

    my mac mini and ipad are not syncing with the icloud. If I plug the ipad into the computer it syncs calendar info from the computer to the ipad, but not the ipad to the computer. i want it to sync without having to plug it in.

    Have you setup iCloud as described here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    If so, follow these troubleshooting articles:

  • My account names for iCloud and iTunes is different, is this why my Iphone4 is not syncing with my iMac?

    My account names for iCloud and iTunes is different, is this why my Iphone4 is not syncing with my iMac?

    No, perfectly normal to have a separate iTunes account for music/app purchases to the one you use for iCloud syncing of contacts, notes, etc.

  • HT1665 Why are my contacts not listed ?  They used to be there.

    Why are my contacts not listed?  They used to be there.

    I had the same thing happen to me.  It's a bug in iPhoto 9.4.2.
    The first time you run iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2, it "updates the iPhoto library".  This sometimes tickles a bug where iTunes can see all your iPhoto albums, but iTunes thinks they are empty.  Since iTunes thinks all your albums are empty, it dutifully deletes any photos from your synced iOS devices.
    It's easy to tell if this is the problem you are seeing.  Open iTunes and go to the photos sync panel for one of your iOS devices.  If you have multiple albums checked, but iTunes shows a total of 0 photos, then you have the problem.
    I spent an hour with an Apple Genius.  he couldn't find any mention of this problem in their internal support system.  His recomendation was to reinstall the operating the system.  I suspect that this won't solve it.
    The only solution I have found is to restore iPhoto 9.4.1 and the corresponding iPhoto library from your backups.
    I would refrain from upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2 until Apple has a fix for this issue.

  • TS3999 My iPad is not syncing calendar events via iCloud that I enter on my iPhone 5, but events entered on the iPad are syncing with the iPhone.

    My iPad is not syncing calendar events via iCloud that I enter on my iPhone 5, but events entered on the iPad are syncing with the iPhone.

    On you phone, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar and make sure you have selected a calendar listed under your iCloud account as your default.  If not, make this change, then enter a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.
    If your settings are already correct, or if after changing them it still isn't syncing properly, make sure all the calendar events on your phone are in your iCloud calendar.  If not, enter any missing events either on your iPad, or on icloud.com from your computer.  Then, after your iCloud calendar is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn Calendars to Off.  When prompted, choose Delete from My iPhone.  After a minute or so, turn Calendars back to On to sync your iCloud calendar back to your phone.  Then try adding a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.

  • IPad will not sync photos

    I recently replaced an iPad that was working perfectly, except the screen cracked. The new one syncs with everything fine, except for photos. Photos worked perfectly on the original one. I am using iPhoto to sync. I haven't done anything differently than with the first iPad. I called the support line and after 90 minutes of trying everything from deleting the photo cache to creating screen shot photos and testing those, nothing worked. I am scheduled to go in and visit the genius bar. In the meantime, I am wondering, has anyone else seen this? Upon syncing, all items work fine, and the photos go through optimization. However, when it is done, it says it is syncing photos for a few seconds, then stops and gives the error: iPad can not sync because the file is missing. What file? Nobody seems to know.

    Before you start, you need to secure a computer, of course. Once secured, plug the iPad device into the pc to start the syncing process. After plugging the device, the management screen of the iPad will show up. On this screen locate the Photos tab (uppermost part) and click on it. You should then see a Sync Photos box on top. Put a check on the box. There is a drop-down menu next to it where you can choose the folder or application that restrains the photo library. Options will vary according to what application you select and utilize. Among with these are the option to sync individual galleries and the other choice is to sync the entire photo album.
    To sync one folder of photos, you can search the hard drive for the right folder to sync and then continue with syncing the entire folder or subfolders to the iPad system. Once you make sure everything is correct, you can go ahead and click the Apply button at the lower-right side of the iTunes screen to re-sync and save photos to the iPad contrivance.
    Or you can refer to this page about [How to transfer iPad/iPod/iPhone contents to computer?|http://www.softwarebbs.com/wiki/IPod/iPhone/iPadTo_Computer_Transfer_%26_Backup_SoftwareReviews] It includes the transferring of music, photos, videos, SMS, Contact ect. between iPod/iPhone/iPad and computer(PC or Mac).
