Address Book 2011 Not syncing with iCloud

Just recently my Address Book stopped syncing with iCloud and I can't figure out why. I have tried logging out and back in to the software and iCloud and signed out of Apple in system preferences. The Address Book software on my iMac 2011 has been a little buggy, in that it keeps showing double entries that are not picked up with "find duplicates." Those duplicates don't show up in iCloud, my iPhone6, my iPad mini (original mini with out ios 8 upgrade) and my macbook pro. I am still running Lion on the iMac. I can't see a way to upgrade or reinstall just the Address Book. I guess the only way to get a new version is to upgrade to Yosemite. I just don't want to do that right now, but I would like my other devices to have my updated Address Book entries from the Address book on the iMac.
Also, when I look at ICloud settings it shows the iPhone6 and Macbook Pro (with Yosemite), but not the iPad or the iMac. I have turned on iCloud on the iPad and I am signed in to iCloud on the iMac through System Preferences.
Any thoughts?

Address book will not sync with outlook

I have a bb curve 8530. My desktop PC runs windows 7 and Outlook. The address book will not sync with outlook. The calendar function, however, will sync with outlook. The error messages are:
"Runtime error: unable to locate application in system table. The product may not be installed properly; run the installer and choose repair."
Or, "Intellisyncy error encountered 0x8004fff."
or, "unable to complete synchronization."
I have pulled out the battery of the 8530 to try a hard reset. I have reloaded on my PC the latest software from the BB website. I have reset and configured synchronization settings multiple times in every possible order. I have deleted from my outlook contacts any large files. I do not know what the installer the error message refers to.
Thanks, David

you cant reset your PIN, it is hardcoded into the BB
where is your PIN missing?
when it syncs the calendar, does it look like it syncs but nothing actually happens, no errors?
or does it crash with an error?
on your BB go to options- advanced options- default services
make sure facebook is not set for CICAL

Address Book does not sync with "Truth"

Hey all.
I've been experiencing this problem for some time now. I'm syncing between Address Book, Entourage 2008 and my cellphone via iSync. Recently however, it seems that my Address Book does not sync with the "Truth" anymore. For instance, when I make changes to a contact within my cellphone, after using iSync, the changes appear in Entourage 2008, but not in Address Book. Likewise, if I import a contact's vCard into Address Book, it does not show up in Entourage 2008 or iSync back to my cellphone.
I've tried resetting Sync History through both the button in iSync's preferences as well as terminal. That did not work. Neither did repairing permissions.
Could someone help me please?
Thank you!

If you have developper tools installed, maybe you can take a look a Syncrospector, located in /Developer/Applications/Utilities/
You should see AddressBook in clients list, with last sync data and registered entities (data types).
You can also check if /System/Library/Frameworks/AddressBook.framework/Resources/AddressBookSync.app is present on your disk.

My address book will not synch with iCloud or iPhone 4

Since upgrading to lion, my address book will not synch with icloud or my iphone 4. Any idea what I should do?

I can't figure out what's going on. Been working on this all day. Yes, all the preferences are checked off and I've triple checked everything. The truth is, after many experiments, I think the problem has to do with how address book is communicating with my contact list. I use quickbooks 2012 for mac. It has all of my customers and vendors synched with my address book on my mac. If I add a customer in quickbooks it shows up in address book on my mac. But it doesn't show up in Icloud or on my Iphone. If I manually add a customer to my Iphone it synchs fine with Icloud and my address book. It seems that the only time devices can't communicate is when I add a contact in quickbooks. No matter what I do, I can't get the new contact from quickbooks to icloud or my iphone. It looks like those programs/devices completely ignore the new contact in address book that was created in quickbooks. I realize you probably can't help me here but if you have any ideas let me know.

How do I get address book contacts get synced with icloud?

I have by contacts ready to be synced to icloud, on my mac...but when I login to icloud the contacts are not visible....give me a solution for this guys....?

Make sure the contacts are in the iCloud account not the On My Mac account.

I use macbook and lion os. I want to sync gmail contact with address book. For this i goto preference in address book and select "sync with google". I put my gmail details. However, the sync does not happen. Please help.

I want to sync gmail contact with address book.
For this i goto preference in address book and select "sync with google".
I put my gmail details.
However, the sync does not happen.
Please help.

You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

ICal and Address Book no longer syncing with iPhone - HELP!

HELP!
I am a long time Apple user and rely heavily on my iPhone to keep me where I need to be, when I need to be there. I have an iPhone 4 and it is running OS 6.0.1. Everything was working fabulously until recently. Sadly I don't know when the problems started--when I updated to OS 6 OR when I updated iTunes to version 11. Either way, my iCal and Address Book no longer sync with my iPhone. And to add insult to injury, my phone is no longer automatically detecting the AT&T microcell I have in my house. I have to reboot my phone every time I come back in the house--talk about annoying.
I am not super techy, so I am hoping someone can help me with this. I LIVE by my iPhone and as a self-employed person, I can't afford for this device to stop giving me information. I also don't want to do entries on my phone AND computer everytime something changes. I do not want to go back to the more reliable paper calendar and address book.
I have iCloud turned on, and it appears to sync my address book with my iPhone. But I seem to be a mess with iCal and my desktop. And between iCal/Adress Book on my computer and iPhone, nothing is talking.
HELP!!!!

I think my company updated Exchange on Friday and since then I cannot sync with Mac Mail, Entourage does not seem to be working either?

Pages not syncing with iCloud

I am trying to figure out, why pages is not syncing with iCloud. I have Documents checked in the System Preferences of iCloud on my Mac Book Pro, I have Documents checked on my iPhone and I have the Pages app.
Can someone shine some light on this issue?

The desktop/Mac OS X versions of the iWork apps have not been updated to take advantage of iCloud yet. In the meantime you can go to iCloud.com, sign in & click the iWork icon where you can upload & download files. You could also try e-mail or Dropbox. Hopefully we will see those updates, maybe even a whole new version of iWork, soon.

Outlook not syncing with icloud on iphone

outlook not syncing with icloud on iphone?

Also make sure you are using the same iCloud account on your PC and your iPhone. Go to Settings/iCloud on your iPhone and check the account email address. Then check the iCloud account on your PC. If you have a Windows PC, click on the iCloud icon in your system tray to see what icloud email account you are logged into.
I changed the email on my iPhone and. iPad, but forgot to change the email on my PC and my calendars wouldn't sync. It finally dawned on me that I forgot to change the account on my PC.

Address Book won't sync with contacts on mobile.me anymore

I have a iMac 5,1 with MacOSX 10.6.4, mobile.me and an iPhone (4.0.2). For many, many years I have had Address Book which quite happily was in sync with the more recently acquired Contacts in Mobile.me. But now, my Address Book isn't syncing with Contacts. And the Contacts on my mobile phone syncs with the Contacts in mobile.me rather than with Address Book. I've tried all sorts of combinations of syncing to no avail. Can anyone please tell me how to ensure that Address Book syncs with Contacts in mobile.me and I would want Address Book to overwrite Contacts. The huge ongoing number of duplicates is another problem but there are many threads I can see that will help me solve that problem.
Thanks

I am having this problem, too. Gmail is my mothership, all the contacts and groups are hosted there, I just want to pull it down to my iMac and my MacBook.
The process seems to work fine on the iMac, but I sync an iPod to that Mac almost every day. I do not sync a device to the MacBook, and it does not get Address Book updates. I feel strongly that the mobile device plays a role in the sync. I will try to sync an iPod to the MacBook, and see what happens. This is a valid test, but I am not willing to erase my iPod every other day just to keep my Address Book up to date on my laptop. This should work better.
I wish there was a tool for contacts like Calaboration. Calaboration makes my iCal sync both ways to Google, and works breath-takingly well.

Is there a trick to forcing Address Book to update/sync with Google?

I cannot figure out how to force Address Book to update / sync with Google. Every time I go into Address Book preferences and check the box for Google synchronization and type in my information it shows that it is connecting. But the contacts do not update. Then when I close Address Book and open up preferences again, the checkmark for Google synchronization is gone. This happens on my Mac Pro tower and also on my MacBook Air -- both are running OSX 10.6.4. Any ideas?

Try opening up iSync in Applications. Go into preferences and make sure the "Show in Menu Bar" option is selected.
Then you can click iSync in the menu bar and tell it to Sync Now. Might help?

ICloud Calendar will not sync with iCloud

I am at a complete loss here. I have my work MBA running Yosemite and connected to my iCloud account. I also have a personal MBP, iPhone and iPad, all running the latest OS and Patch, all connected to my iCloud account.
For 98% of it, it works and syncs perfectly. Except for the calendar on my MBA. Calendar works and syncs perfectly everywhere else, MBA works perfectly with iMessage, FaceTime, Contacts, Keychain, etc, etc, etc.
Basic troubleshooting I have performed:
Rebooted MBA (obviously)
Attempted to remove calendars from syncing with my iCloud account (unsuccessful) - will not remove calendars.
Attempted to remove entire iCloud account from MBA (unsuccessful)
i have signed out everywhere on my MBA, when I go to System Preferences > iCloud and attempt to sign out, it fails.
When I go to Internet Accounts, iCloud keeps coming back as "INACTIVE" with nothing checked.
When I go through all the apps, Calendar is the only one that shows the iCloud data (iMessage shows me as signed out, same with App Store, iTunes, FaceTime, Contacts, etc)
Rebooted MBA multiple times throughout the process, to no avail or difference
Performed a repair install of Yosemite through the recovery console
After repair install, iCloud calendars still show up, even though my iCloud account under System Preferences shows me as signed out
After repair install, signed back into iCloud to see if I could re-sync calendarsiCloud shows me as signed in and Calendars as successfully setup
Upon launching Calendars, i get the spinning wheel in the top left of my calendar app and new calendar items created on the MBA do not sync with iCloud (website or other connected devices)
Created new calendar item on other devices as well as iCloud website, calendar item never shows up on MBA
So, aside from a complete format of the hard drive, can anyone think of any options I haven't tried? Or some way to completely reset one app (such as Calendar)

Needed to add some clarification here:
iCloud shows me as signed in, but Calendars are NOT checked
Internet Accounts shows Calendars as syncing

Calendar does not sync with iCloud

I have an iPhone 4S with the latest iOS. A month ago I started a brand new iCloud calendar (every other were deleted). It was working fine, when I launched the app, it synced in 2-3 seconds. But a few days ago it does not sync with iCloud, there is the running circle in the upper line and nothing happens. The interesting thing is when I try it with Wi-Fi, it works, albeit really slowly, under one minute. I did not change any setup. Has anybody an idea?

Hi Firend,
In my Calendars app, I selected all calendars to be shown. In Settings, Calendars settings are set: New invitation is turned on, Sync is turn all events on, and Calendar Default is set Calendar From My PC.
It is working well for long time.
Hope it will be helpful

My iphone is not syncing with iCloud

Hi, i have just noticed (it may have been going on for a few weeks) that my iPhone 4 (IOS6) will not sync with icloud. This has not been a problem in the past. If I put a new event on the phone, it is not shown on icloud and vice-versa.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Try Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [scroll down to the Contacts area] > Default Account.
Is this set to "iCloud"?
Do you have such a setting (Default Account)? Frankly, I don't ... all my contacts have been in iCloud (only) for years. But I'm thinking you do have this setting based on this article:
