iPhone5 & MacBook Air are no longer automatically synching my contacts entered on either device.
IÂ don't know what I caused to make this change.
I have recently synched my iPhone 3gs with the iCloud. Then I aslo synched it with my Mac (mac pro laptop running Lion?). Result is that the Address Book on the Mac looks like the one on my iPhone. But, then I added some contacts on my iPhone, returned to the Mac, opened the Mac Address Book, but the new and updated contacts are not there. I thought the iCloud would synch these to the Mac! Also, should I have added the iCloud as an account on my Mac Address Book for this to work? My Mac Address Book preferences only shows two acconts, Yahoo and on my Mac (local).

Can this synch with the iphone? If so how?
Are there alternative email clients for the Mac that are better than apple mail? By this, i mean non web based clients.
I had to clean install, & went back to OS 10.3 uprrading to 10.3.9
I have 10.4.1 but my PowerBook G4 won't install it.
It also won't install itunes 8 , necessary to sync with my iphone.
I download apps DIRECTLY to my iPhone and iPad 2 I do not download via iTunes.
When I plug in my iPad or phone (device from now on) and sync it in iTunes, it transfers and backups MY purchases fine. However the left window pane does not show the INSTALLED apps.
Theres only a list of apps, none with check marks , even if they are present on the phone or iPad. If select sync apps, it tells me it will DELETE all the apps on my device.Â
Am I doing something wrong, or is there a way to make iTunes place a check mark or recognize what IS ALREADY on my device with out having to start from scratch and delete all my apps by forcing me To manually select what apps I want installed on my device (which are already on my device!) Â Am I missing a step someplace? Shouldn't my library on my device show up on the left side of ITunes pane with apps INSTALLED already checked?Â

I'm having trouble syncing my contacts from iPhone 4S to my new mac air. Â
Both have iCloud enabled. Both are running on the latest software updates.Â
But when I open contacts on my notebook, there are only a few names.
I am trying to move all of my contacts from my iphone to the address book on my macbook. I have carried out a back up and then tried a sync choosing the "merge info" option along the way. I have retained all the contacts on my phone but cannot get them to appear in my address book on my mac. When I look at my contacts on the iphone - when I check in the groups tab I now have two listing under "from my mac" these are the single contact i made up in order to merge and "all from my mac" which contains this single contact along with the standard apple contact that always appears. It seems the info is going to the phone but not back into my address book.

After upgrading to Yosemite and then updating the Brother printer drivers for a MFC-7840W that pervasively worked perfectly it no longer send faxes.Â
Previously after selecting Print you would select SEND FAX then FACSIMILE and at this point you had the option to add from the OS X contacts list, this no longer happens. I've deleted and reinstalled from scratch the printer drivers with no change. This is the same regardless of application you are trying to it from, including Contacts itself. How was it resolved as entering a fax number manually appears to work.Â

Image Capture no longer shoes my iPhone 4S as a device when plugged in. I've used it successfully for over a year but now it is playing up. I've changed cables, restarted the machine, my hubby has done a disk check. IPhoto recognises it still and the phone charges when plugged in. Have tried both USBs.

How do I get all my subscribed podcasts to download automatically at least once each hour? A couple of weeks ago following an iTunes update, iTunes stopped automatically downloading subcribed podcasts. There is no longer a "Refresh" button that directs iTunes to download newly available episodes. I am now having to refresh individual podcasts twith a right-click command menu item.

I have an Iphone and I have a macbook pro. Now, I used to have at my work Hosted Exchange were all my contacts were on. Now, lost my job and now I want to delete the workaccount (mail). When I do that, my Iphone erases all my contacts on my iphone, which i don't want of course.
Now, what i did, I have tagged all the boxes in entourage to sync with Icall, etc. BUT when i do a sync from Itunes, it whipes away all my contacts again, because it probably takes it from the empty folders. So that's a big issue. I'm not able to get all my contacts into Entourage or I call. Normally when you put the cable in, it should sync everything from the iphone to your mac right? Well it doesn't. It doesn't even asked the question. I have no clue what to do anymore or how to get my contacts into my entourage, so i can make a new e-mailaccount (personal one) and link everything together.
After getting my Macbook Pro, I found out about the two finger scrolling feature on the trackpad and it had made browsing around a lot more easier.
While scrolling, it reminded me of my mother's iPhone scrolling while looking for contacts, where you do a finger gesture and it continues to scroll down even though your fingers are off it already.
Is there are feature to be used with the Macbook Pro's trackpad?
Edit: I think I found an existing answer after playing around with keywords in Google
Using iTunes, I imported my contacts from my iPhone to my Mac. What I should have done is choose the Selected groups option (because I just want my iPhone contacts) but by mistake I chose All contacts, with the result that I ended up with lots of unwanted contacts (e.g. from my work MS Exchange account). So I have deleted all the contacts from my Address Book and want to start the sync process again.Â
I want to make sure I don't delete all my contacts from my iPhone.Â
If I tick "Sync Address Book Contacts", "All contacts" (all other options are greyed out) and click "Sync", what will happen? Will the fact that I have deleted all the contacts on my mac wipe the contacts from my iPhone when I press Sync?Â
If I uncheck the "Sync Address Book Contacts", I get a prompt telling me iTunes will no longer sync with my phone and asking me if I want to remove contacts previously synced to my iPhone. Out of caution I am choosing the option "Don't remove contacts".Â
I have an issue with contacts on my devices. My iPhone 4s, and my MacBook Pro. I am running Lion and the latest version of everything and yadayadayada. But I want the Address Book on my Mac to be identical to the one on my iPhone so I have numbers and emails all stored of my friends and family on my Mac as well as iPhone. However, when I go to iTunes and click sync contacts and all that, it does something with Google and crap to match them and it's just a total mess. On my iPhone I have groups of contacts that are "From My Mac" which contains about 2/3 of all my contacts. Like some synced and others didn't. Then there is an "iCloud" group. Which contains very very few contacts and doesn't do crap for me. Then there is an "All Contacts" group that actually has everything. I thought iCloud was going to sync ALL my contacts to ALL my devices? I don't know what to do right now at all. I think my Mac is syncing with Google and not my iPhone because the only contacts it's syncing are the ones from my old droid on that email, which is also my Apple ID. So should I take my Mac off syncing with gmail contacts and then I can remove all the gmail contacts off of gmail for good or whatever and then I can get my iPhone contacts on?

I've had an iphone 4 for 2 years, always syncing contacts with outlook on my old PC. Everything worked fine until icloud; I then found that any new contacts weren't syncing to outlook, I'm assuming because the phone was only syncing to icloud? No matter, decided not to worry as I wanted to buy a mac, having worked with them recently.
So my issue now is (very similar to before) that I can't sync my contacts from my iphone to my mac, again because it insists the phone is backing up to icloud. I tried this morning; it prompted me that the phone was 'on' icloud and therefore not syncing with mac etc; I checked the box to sync contacts, hit apply and merge in the hopes I could get my contacts from my phone onto the mac. Instead it's created another phone book on my iphone with just the three contacts that were on the mac?!
Now when I go to contacts on my iphone it has three groups: All contacts, all on my iphone and all icloud. The first and last have all my contacts in; the all on my iphone has zero. I know the transition to something new isn't always easy, but I'm now really confused.The Mac is on Snow Leopard, and my understanding of browsing the forums is that only lion will work with icloud. I haven't bought any software yet, so I'm not concerned about compatibilty if I upgrade. I AM however concerned as to how icloud will work if I do upgrade?
Will it use the iMac or the iphone as the 'senior' device?
If it uses the mac will I lose all my contacts?
With cloud do I not need to backup my iphone?
What's the difference between backup, sync and icloud?
they on initial sync but then stopped
