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.

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

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.

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?

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

HT4489 address book not loading to icloud? it works fine in .mac but not .me com?

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.

After waiting aprox 2/3 hours it worked. Changed nothing...

"Smart Groups" in Address Book not syncing to the iPhone

"Smart Groups" in Address Book not syncing to the iPhone
Normal Groups sync but smart groups do not.
Anyone else have this issue or know of a fix?
Thanks.

This same concept applies to syncing two macs via .Mac
The method I use for iPhone is this.
Define your smart group as needed.
Define a read group with a similar or convenient name.
From time to time drag your whole smart group to the real group.
The real group is the one that then syncs to your iPhone.
As a safety factor, I usually clear all entries from my real group before I drag over the updated smart group.
Anyway, this is simple and works well.
Hope that helps.

Subscribed address book not synced to iPhone

I shared my address book with my wife, and she subscribes to it. Unfortunately, the shared contacts do not make it to her iPhone during a sync. Any Ideas why?
Also, what's the difference between subscribing to a mac address book and syncing using mobileme?
Thanks!

I also have this issue. My contacts sync fine from the computer to Mobileme, but the groups don't sync to the iphone. This leaves me with an empty "Groups" window as described by eltons. If I sync through itunes, with Mobileme contacts sync off on the iphone, the groups show up.
Any ideas? Is this consistent with the original post?

Custom image from Address book not syncing to Exchange.

I am running Mac OS X v 10.7.5. I have added custom images to contacts in address book. I have an Exchange account which will sync the data (ie name, address, email) but not the custom image. Is there away to have custom images sync to Exchange/Outlook?

I'm Running Mac OS X Lion, and have seen that changes made in the mac address book do not sync to gmail contacts but changes to gmail contacts do sync to the mac address book.
Making a change to a contact on my phone does sync to gmail contacts, and then to the mac address book.
Another test I ran was to change the same contact in gmail and mac address book. I made a change to a mobile number and notes in one contact on my mac address book, attempted to sync, and the change does not appear in my gmail contacts. I tried multiple times, restarted my web browser, restarted mac address book, the sync would not work. I changed the same contact mobile number in gmail with a slightly different change to the notes field so I could see when an update occurred, and when I told mac address book to sync it recognized a conflict. When I select the mac address book change to resolve the conflict, the gmail contact is not updated. When I repeated the experiment and selected the gmail contact to resolve the conflict the change is made in the mac address book.

Address Books not syncing on one iPhone

I am running GroupWise Mobility Service 2.0.0, Build 429. I have 25 iPhone 5c's connected to it. All but one work perfectly. One iPhone syncs email and calendar but does not receive any of the users address books (there are two that should sync). I've reset the device to factory defaults from the Mobility Service admin console, from the device and from iTunes. I've deleted the user and added back. I've resync'd the user. I've noticed that on the Mail, Contacts, Calendars screen, the Default Account parameter appears for a short period of time then completely disappears. I've configured the user's iPad which has the same Apple account as the iPhone had orginally, and have the same results. Thinking there was something in the Apple account that was causing the issue, I had the user create a new Apple account for this phone and configured it after resetting the device. None of the above helped. Email and calendar sync perfectly. The address books have never sync'd with the device.
Anyone have any ideas?

I am assuming they are both selected in the GMS webadmin for this user,
if not check there first.
Is there any address book name conflicts? I.e. Same name in GW as is on
the device?
Next would be to use mcheck

if still having a problem,
Export the contents of one of the address books, import it to new
address book, and sync it.

Address Book not syncing with Exchange 2007

My address book on Snow Leopard has 4093 cards, but not all of them are showing up in my contacts folder in Outlook Web Access. My company uses Exchange 2007. This is strange as I originally populated my address book by syncing it with my cards on Outlook. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Address Book not syncing with Google Apps

so i thought this will be resolved after reinstalling 10.5.7 (i tried a lot of tweaks in the earlier installation to make this work) but it seems that even with a clean install it wouldnt work.
address book authenticates with google but no updates are being sent or recieved.
did anyone manage to get this working ? i have a feeling its not out of the box...

Hi guys,
I have a similiar problem. My address booked has synced correctly with google contacts since 2 years
And suddenly it stopped syncing. Furthermore when I go to settings/acconts I still find
my "Local" account where i configured my google account, but now the right window is empty.
There is no button to edit or show this account !!
(I mentioned this after update to 10.6.8, but I'm not sure if it worked shortly before doing the update)
What could be wrong ?
Regards jb0815

Address Book not syncing to Gmail

I have Snow Leopard and have enabled the Sync to Gmail feature in Address Book. However, my Address Book changes are not syncing to Gmail Contacts.

Macbook Air with Mac OS X Address book not syncing with iPhone 5s completely

I have just started ICloud syncing of my macbook air address book and my iphone. Some seemingly random contacts are not being transferred down to the iphone. I can't figure this out. How do you make this work correctly?

First of all, your post title refers to an iPhone 5S. There is no such device being sold by Apple.
Aside from that, it sounds like your contacts are in more than one account on your Mac. In Contacts on your Mac, you might try clicking the button closest to the plus side in the lower left of the display to hopefully show your various accounts. You might also check Contacts > Preferences > Accounts.
