Address Book not synching on icloud

Computer at work (iMac) has new Address Book entry, not seen on computer at home (Mac Pro).  Both running 10.7.4 with iCloud updated and Address Book checked.

I just unsuccessfully tried going to iCloud on the home MacPro, unchecking contacts, agreed to deletion of files on my Mac, then rechecked.  Happily all old contacts still there but the new one was not....

    address book not loading in icloud. loads fine in .mac account but .me will not load?

    [email protected] and [email protected] are the same accounts.
    Are you saying that you are trying to sync your contacts to iCloud?  Are the two accounts you  mention ".mac" and ".me" actually different in that they are [email protected]  vs.  [email protected]?  If so, your device can only use one account at once - and you should stick to only one account.

  • Why does my address book not sync to iCloud?

    Why does my address book not sync to iCloud?

    I believe the duplicate address book accounts stems from the move from MobileMe to iCloud and both accounts still being active.
    This is how I merged the two address books:
    1) To make sure all the contacts are in both:
    a) I selected On My Mac account - clicked on any address - Command A to select all - drag the contacts to the iCloud account - answered OK to merge and resolve duplicates.
    b) same in reverse: select the iCloud account - click on an address - click Command A to select all - drag the contacts to the On My Mac account - answer OK to merge and resolve duplicates.
    In system preferences I found an iCloud icon and also a MobileMe icon. I was logged in under both.
    1)  In the Address Book preferences I selected iCloud and unchecked Enable this account.
    2)  In the Address Book I selected iCloud and clicked on the minus “-” to remove that account – leaving only the local Mac address book.
    3)  I went into system preferences and logged out of MobileMe
    4)  In system preferences I opened iCloud and the “Contacts” was not selected (from above) and I selected it.
    I got a dialog box asking if I wanted to merge the iCloud contact with the local contacts – clicked YES.
    … spinning wheel for a minute … voila – only one address book account – iCloud with syncing to iCloud and my iPhone.

  • Why is my address book not synching

    Since upgrading to OSX Lion on my MacBook and also joiningiCloud, I can no longer synch my iPhone and Mac.  I think it may have something to do with the Mac and the iPhone pointing to iCloud... not sure.  Now when I plug the iPhone into the Mac Address Book and iCal no longer synch.

    thanks for the question!
    i have an iphone that uses addresses/contacts.  i don't use icloud because i was getting doubled calendar entries.
    updating is done "via itunes on this computer"

  • New contacts in address book not synching with mobile me

    Just thought I'd add a solution to anyone who had a similar problem as mine. This had been going on for a while and I just finally got around to trying to fix it.
    I'm using mobileme. The specific problem I had was adding new contacts on my main computer's address book, and then they were not updating the mobileme address book, and in so doing would keep deleting the newly inputted contact on my main computer's address book. Really frustrating. All the old contacts were synching fine, it was just new contacts that I added.
    In the end, I found the answer, and it was a corrupted 'Addressbook-v22.abcddb' in my home folder/library/appl support/addressbook I moved it to the desktop and restarted address book.
    Now, everything works as it should.
    Just thought I'd share if anyone else is having the same weird issue.

    Thanks Philip!

  • Address book not syncing via iCloud ....

    Hey All,
    So i've read some other posts saying to make a backup, and then remove it via sys preference, uncheck contacts, delete them, and then re-check the box, that hasnt worked
    here is my current setup that I use everyday
    iMac 1 - Home
    iMac 2 - Office
    iPhone
    My phone and iMac 1 have the same sync, I created 2 more "categories" on iMac2 and added a bunch of contacts to that group (all 3 devices are using the same username / password) - however, iMac1 and iphone do not get these new contacts / groups, no matter what
    any suggestions?

    FYI, iCloud DOES NOT SYNC, you subscribe to it and that makes it very different from sync systems (including Mobile Me)
    I just moved, yesterday, from MobileMe to iCloud.  I have an iMac, a MacBook Air, an iPhone 4, and the original iPad.
    Would you be kind enough to elaborate on your statement that I have quoted, above?  I fear I don't understand the difference between sycning to MobileMe and subscribing to iCloud.
    I am about to make my first change to my Address book and am unsure where to make it:  on iCloud, my iMac, my MacBook, etc.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Bob

  • Address Book not syncing in iCloud

    I can't seem to get my address book on my Mac to sync in iCloud. Only new contacts that I add on my iphone 4s are uploaded to the cloud.  But I'd like it to backup all of my existing contacts as well. Any thoughts?

    similar issue here. i'm running iphone 4 and snow leopard and the syncing between the two devices is fine. but contacts in icloud have not updated to include new contacts made on SL (despite appearing on iphoen and therefore should be in icloud?
    any help would be great. thanks

  • Why are some of my contact photos address book not uploading to iCloud contact

    I have added some new contact photos to my address book in my powerbook but it absolutely refuses to upload to the icloud and hence my iphone and iPad.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi MoLovin,
    If you are having issues with your iPhone's photos not displaying in the correct order, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

  • Address book not syncing to iCloud

    I recently upgraded to Lion 10.7.2, but my contacts aren't syncing from iCloud into the address book.  I've gone to system preferences, enabled iCloud and selected contacts.  It doesn't take, and so when I go back to the preference window, it's back to being unchecked.  In AB, there are no groups visible and I can't add an iCloud account there, either.  The contacts are present in iCloud on the web interface.  Calendars also seem to be working fine.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • ICal & Address Book Not Updating from iCloud

    I updated everything Apple throughout the day today, including my iPhone & MacBook Pro. I now have iOS 5 on my iPhone 4, OS X 10.7.2 on my MacBook, and all the apps associated with those 2 have been updated as well. I have iCloud set up on both my iPhone and MacBook. From what I understood from the demonstrations and ads about iCloud, when I add a calendar entry or change an address book entry on my iPhone, it will immediately be updated on my MacBook. I tried adding an event on my iPhone after everything was set up, and 4 hours later, it still is not showing up on my MacBook. The address book entry that I changed is also not showing up on my MacBook. Photo Stream is set up and running on both my MacBook and iPhone, so I know my credentials are entered correctly. I have Address Book and iCal checked in the options to be a part of iCloud on my MacBook, so it appears that everything should be staying in sync.
    Any ideas why the changes on my iPhone would not be showing up immediately on my MacBook?
    Thanks

    Install the Lion 10.7.2 OSx update or later.
    In Apple/System Preferences/Internet/Wireless, connect to iCloud account.
    1. In iCal/Preferences/Accounts, add iCloud.
    2. In iCalPreferences/General, change the default calendar and reminder group to ones from iCloud, otherwise adding new appointments in iCal will default to the On My Mac calendar and they not show up in the iCloud calendar.
    3. In iCal/Calendars deselect the On My Mac calendars.
    4. To get subscriptions back, go to each of the subscriptions under iCal/Calendars and select Get Info then change the location from On My Mac to iCloud.

  • 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.

  • Synching Address Book and iCal to iCloud with Snow Leopard

    My Macbook Pro is not capable of upgrading to Mountain Lion, as it only has a 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo processor. Ever since Apple retired iDisk over the summer, my Macbook has not been able to sync the Address Book or iCal with iCloud's Contacts or Calendar. I am still running OS 10.6.8. Does anyone know of any way to get Snow Leopard to sync with iCloud?
    Thank you!

    I am at work right now and don't have access to my Mac. But I need to as if your Dad is on Windows Active Directory network? I also found these directions for Princeton's 2010 Exchange that might help. Did he set up the Address contacts & iCal Calenders were enabled when setting up the account in Mail?

  • Synch outlook contacts to contacts in blackberry storm 9550 with wired connection: "address book not installed"

    I have been synching outlook, calendar, address book contacts, task and memos, to my blackberry storm 9550 using outlook 2003 for about 6 months.  Somewhere along the line, MS Outlook on my PC no longer synchs with Blackberry contacts. I can still synch calendar, tasks and memos, but get a "not installed" for the address book contacts.  I have installed the latest blackberry desktop 6.1.0B38 and tried to reconfigure.  I still get "address book not installed" for the contacts.  This is a wired synch and wireless is turned off.  Any ideas how to fix?
