Why are my contacts not backing up to iCloud?

My iPhone shows I have 1676 contacts but my iCloud shows i only have 382. Why are my contacts not backing up to iCloud?

On your phone, how many of your contacts are in the On My Phone group, or any other group that is not iCloud, and how many are in the iCloud group (382?)
Why are my contacts not backing up to iCloud?
Not the same thing, don't confuse a backup of your phone with an iCloud data account. Backup is a separate function.

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.

Why are my movies not showing on my Mac Book, which is the computer that I used to purchase the movie, but showing on my IMAC at home...I am currently deployed.

why are my movies not showing on my Mac Book, which is the computer that I used to purchase the movie, but showing on my IMAC at home...I am currently deployed so this ***** a bit. Also how do I keep this incedent from happending in the future?

No, this is not the case. I know where i purchased the movie and I also know movies cant be added to the cloud such as music, TV shows can. The instance happened during the dowload. I think that depending which computer is up and running and the bandwith allocated on either network, which ever computer that finishes first is the one that gets the movie. Just a thought. So next time I will ensure my IMAC is not running. I think that fixes it.
Thanks

Re: Why are there numbers not showing up on my verizon online call and texts log?

I am having the same problem with texts not appearing on my online text log and have also noticed a huge increase in data since my two sons have had their iPhone 5s. I have the iPhone 4. Two problems here
iPhone users DO appear. In the posted questions and response below, you indicate that if we are all using iPhones then we are not using the Verizon network but using data. HOW DO I STOP THIS DATA USAGE AND RETURN TO USING THE NETWORK? I can't afford the data charges that I am getting.. HELP!! and Thank you.

If you are all using iPhones, then it's likely the texts are going through iMessages and therefore use data. Since the texts are not using the Verizon network, but the app, they do not show up in the logs. The app is not specifically blocking the texted numbers from showing up, but the information comes through Verizon as data usage, not numbers texted.

    Sparkyjames81,
Lets figure out just where those texts are going! There are many apps that can be downloaded from the Play Store for Android phones that will allow messages to be sent over the internet, and therefore they are not actually text messages and will not show up in our records. Even Facebook has their own messaging app available that does this.
If you have an iPhone, they come with a service called iMessage that allows for messages to other Apple devices be sent via the internet, and this will also not show up on our records. These are all ways to bypass our actual texting services, and since these messages are not being sent as texts they do not show up on our records.

Why are there numbers not showing up on my verizon online call and texts log?

<< Discussion moved from All Things Community to Apple for better exposure >>
Why are there numbers not showing up on my call and texts log when i look this up online at verizon? There is one number that my daughter texts and calls a lot i found from her phone log but not one time does it show when i look this up on the Verizon wireless call log??? We all have iphones is there an application or something that can block certain calls from showing up? It clearly has texts on her phone from this number why would it not be on the call log?

Thank you for your reply.
However, wouldn't an iMessage show up different than a text? It looks just like every other text on her phone. We all have iphones in this house and they always show up as texts on the call log but this one number seems to be blocked somehow from showing up on the text log. And there are texts from weeks ago and it's from an actual number not computer or any weird/odd code and yet it never comes across on the text log when i look it up.
If you are correct and it's coming across as iMessage is there a way for me to block texts coming across this way so they all show up on the text log?

Why are Facebook notifications not showing up in Notification Center?

On OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Facebook account is setup in Internet Accounts preference pane in System Preferences.
Facebook is configured in Notifications preference pane in System Preferences.
The Share Buttons widget is configured in Notifications preference pane in System Preferences.
When I view my Facebook account via my web browser I usually have notifications available, but these notifications are not showing up in Notification Center.
I do receive Calendar, Mail, etc. notifications in Notification Center so I know it works.
I can send posts to Facebook via the Share Buttons widget in Notification Center, but presently I can receive nothing from Facebook..
Anyone know of a solution to this problem?
Thanks!
P.S. I read in another thread how Facebook can be setup in iMessage, but I don't want to use iMessage if I can get Notification Center to function properly.

I got it to work yesterday. I tried none of the advice from discussions dealing with changing settings, enabling/disabling accounts, terminal commands, etc. All I did was ask a Facebook friend to respond to a post, and I was able to see the notifications in Notification Center.
I know most have their settings configured correctly in System Preferences, but this is how my preferences are configured on OS X Mavericks 10.9.3:
(1) Internet Accounts preference pane:
There isn't much to configure here. I signed into my Facebook account. I checked or unchecked the Calendar and Contacts selections. It doesn't matter. I left the Description, found in the Details button window, as Facebook, but it doesn't matter, either.
(2) Notifications preference pane:
Facebook alert style is set to Banners, but Alerts will also work just fine. This setting is crucial because if it's set to None, no alerts will be received. I left Show notifications on lock screen unchecked, but it doesn't matter if I check it or not. And I put a check mark in Show in Notification Center, and the number of Recent Items can be set to whatever available setting desired, mine is set to 20 Recent Items.
(3) Notifications preference pane:
I placed a check mark on Show share button notifications in Notification Center, which is found when Share Button is selected in the list of notifications like Facebook, Calendar, Mail etc.
Again, I did nothing else, and it just works. As a side note: before I got it to work I called AppleCare and a senior advisor spent considerable time with me trying to find out why it wasn't working. And his last bit of advice was that I should reinstall the OS. He needs retraining because that bit of advice was ill-advised, to say the least.
I simply had no experience with receiving Facebook notifications in Notification Center 'on OS X', and the AppleCare employees had no training in this area, but if Notification Center is part of OS X, and Facebook notifications are part of Notification Center training in this area should be standard, but the AppleCare employees were guessing, not advising, which certainly is not technical support. Hence, my AppleCare dollars were not at work as expected.
So without prior knowledge as to how the specifics of 'Facebook' notifications worked in Notification Center on OS X, my assumption was I would be notified each time someone tagged me, someone liked a comment, post or photo of mine, someone commented on one of my posts, or someone sent me a direct message.
When I asked one of my Facebook friends to help me test it out, the following occurred (I don't remember if I had Safari up and running at this time - Note: I was signed into Facebook via Safari. I say this because AppleCare employees did explain on OS X some applications must be launched in order to received notifications, which in my mind is wasted time and code for Apple developers. Why offer notifications if the application is already launched? Ridiculous, if you ask me. That's what configuring each applications preference to set badge app icons, if it's not already coded by default.):
(1) I sent a Facebook post via Notification Center using the Facebook Share Button.
(2) I communicated with one of my Facebook friends by private message via iOS device and asked for a response to the post I sent.
(3) My Facebook friend responded to my private message, but I don't remember if I received a notification in Notification Center.
(4) My Facebook friend liked my post, shared my post, and commented on my post. I received two separate notifications in Notification Center on OS X, yet I received notifications on Facebook for all three actions, seen via iOS device. By the way, I wish Notification Center notifications would stay in Notification Center until we manually remove them. If they did stay until we manually remove them I would have time to find out which action of my friend I was received the notification for in Notification Center.
That's it!

Why are line graphics not showing up in Preview Mode when they show in Normal view mode?

I am using CS4, I've used InDesign for 4 years. I can not figure out why this is happening...
From the Tools panel, I am using the line and circle tools. Drawing lines (arrows) and circles on my document, with a stroke weight of 1. The lines are the top item on my page, the last thing I draw. I draw lines that would go over not only other graphics, but over text as well.
Problem is that they only show up in Normal view, not Preview view. Hence, I don't think they will show up on the final document.
I've used these tools often, and the lines not showing is a new problem. Can anyone shed some light on why this might be happening?
Thanks, Louise

I looked and yes "nonprinting" was ticked in the Attributes panel. THANK YOU :-)
I knew there had to be a simple solution and I was so frustrated it was eluding me.
Thanks again.

Why are my images not showing up? Worked fine before yesterday...

First, Happy Thanksgiving!
I use iWeb for my photography business (www.rosiejohnsonphotogaphy.com). All has worked fine until yesterday. Now the images on my linked pages are not showing up. They are imported from iPhoto. Now one image is at the top (it is not imported from iPhoto) and at the bottom of the page is this "comments widget". I swear that I did nothing to my website yesterday - didn't even have iWeb open.
Any ideas why this is happening??
Thank you in advance!

Wyodor,
Thank you for taking a gander. I mistyped: www.rosiejohnsonphotography.com. Must have not had enough coffee at that point....
So I checked my website from our other computer (not the one I use to update it) and all images loaded and looked fine. I then tried it from this computer (the only one used to update the website) and no pictures! Why is this?! I think it has something to do with this "comment widgets" statement at the bottom of each web page and the RSS box at the end of the web address bar. Any ideas how to fix this and get it back to where it was working would be appreciated!
Thank you.

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 stickies not showing up?

I updated my operating system about 36 hours ago and now my stickes will not show up on desktop. I dont know if the two are related but I just noticed it today. I know they are not deleted because when I click on the stickies in the dock it shows all of them and if I go to mission control they come in from the top right and pile up on the right side of mission control. I have some important information for school on a few of them so I would like to get them back. Any help would be awesom. Thanks

Wow that worked. I haven't gotten a chance to learn all the new stuff that comes with the update all I noticed was that my apps were missing as soon as I updated my iTouch. I found them now using the search feature. Thanks for the help.

Why are my css not showing up on my website???

I am new to Dreamweaver cs6 and using it for a school research project. I have made some css and know how to make them but for some reason they are not showing up when I load my website online. Please help!! Also I am not sure how to create links in my pages to connect to other pages on my site.
http://www-personal.umich.edu/~borowjil/researchproject.html

Well it had to get put on the server somehow otherwise your URL would not have worked. How did you save/move the file so that it would be visible to us? Do that for the CSS. If you need to set this up, first ask your teacher because they should be able to help you put the files to the server. This requires login credentials which no one here would have. You can reference David's tutorial for where to go to set this up:

Why are declined events NOT showing on iPhone iOS7 (setting is marked to "on")

Apparently I and some of my colleagues are having the OPPOSITE issue from most.
We are syncing with Google Calendar.
We have set "Show Declined Events" to ON
Declined Events are NOT showing on iCal.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Richey

I noticed this too. I have a Google Apps for Business account through work.
This happens when I have Gmail configured as ActiveSync. But when using CalDAV - it isn't a problem. Does anyone have a solution or more informaiton on this topic?

Why are my applications not showing up?

After I downloaded the 3.1.1 update for my iTouch some of my applications are not showing up on my iTouch. I tried restarting the iTouch to see if that would help but it didn't. The applications still show up in my iTunes list but they are not on the iTouch. Is this problem because some of the free apps are not compatible with this update or is it something else? Please help me with this. Thanks.

Wow that worked. I haven't gotten a chance to learn all the new stuff that comes with the update all I noticed was that my apps were missing as soon as I updated my iTouch. I found them now using the search feature. Thanks for the help.
