Address book on MacPro doesn't sync with iCloud

I have put contacts in my address book and it's not being sync to my other devices or the iCloud.
I tried to uncheck the addressbook in icould on my mac and then rebooted and checked it again. Still won't sync.

First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

Why can't I edit or delete Address Book "On My Mac" or sync with iCloud?

Why can't I edit or delete Address Book cards on my Macs, now that I've migrated to iCloud? I can edit/delete if I go to iCloud, but the changes don't sync with my Macs. What's happening, and what's a solution? Just wait for Apple to fix a bug?

On your mac, if your look at the left panel of the Address Book, you'll find general categories of "iCloud" and possibly "On my mac" - if you have contacts in the latter, then they are only local to your mac, they are not shared with iCloud. If you don't have an "iCloud" category, then your mac(s) is not set up of iCloud. Go to system preferences and look in iCloud. Is the mac signed into iCloud, are contacts turned on for syncing?

Address Book Associates Field does not sync with iPhone

Apple went to the trouble of getting custom field names in the Mac OS Address Book to synchronize with the iPhone (which is wonderful), but they left one field 'unsyncable'; the associates field. If you list a contact's manager name, spouse name, child name, etc. in Address Book, it does not sync with the iPhone (OS 3.0.1) 'Phone' application. This is very useful (and embarrasment-preventing) when needing to remember the name of a contact's manager, wife, child, etc. Does anyone have any idea why Apple left this out of the sync? Certainly it couldn't have to do with saving memory...

Oh yes! i have this same problem - i have tried emailing Apple Customer Support but they were unable to help me. They advised me to speak to technical or raise the issue on the Apple Support board (but someone already has!)
so if someone can help us both out here with how to sync additional field information added on Address Book on Mac to then sync all this additional information to iPhone, we would be greatly appreciative!!Thanks,
Mark

How do I set up iCloud without duplicating my contacts in address book?--I'm not syncing with iTunes.

I'm going around and around in circles trying to set up iCloud on my iMac and iPhone. The contacts are not duplicated on iCloud/contacts, or my iPhone, but they are duplicated on my iMac in address book. Sync calendars and Sync contacts are unchecked (turned off) on iTunes. I just went through my address book on the iMac and deleted all the duplicates, but they were all added back immediately. I've been trying various solutions from the forums. I tried merging duplicate contacts--didn't work. Help!

Okay--I'll try this, but before I do, can you answer another question?
When I deselect the box next to contacts on system preferences > iCloud, I get a scary air message that says, "Do you want to keep a copy of your iCloud contacts on this Mac? If you don't keep a copy, iCloud contacts will be removed from this mac but will still be available on other devices using iCloud."
My mac has all of my contacts, but there are some that are not on my iPhone (Chistmas card list). Will I lose the contacts that are not backed up on my iPhone?
Should I select "Delete from Mac" or "Keep Contacts"?
Similar air message with calendars, so I assume whatever I do with contacts will be the same as calendars.
Thank you so much for your help--this has been so confusing for me!! I"m sure this has been discussed over and over and I looked through the messages to find a solution, but just got more confused.

Address Book bluetooth connection doesn't work with Nokia N90

I can't set up my Nokia N90 to work with the Address book for bluetooth dialing & sending SMS.
Does anyone else have this problem?

I found this info on the forum.
1. Check if the isync agent is installed on your phone. If not get go to your application folder/isync. control-click on the icon and choose "show package content". Navigate to /Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevices/Contents/Resources/Agents and drag a copy of AppleSyncAgent-s60v22.sis to your desktop.
2. Use the bluetooth "send file" option to send that file to your nokia. You will receive a message on the phone. Open that message and install the agent.
3. Remove your phone from the device list in isync and add it again.
4. Open address book and click bluetooth. It should connect straight away (no pairing request).
5. Now sending sms should be enabled.
6. Open isync and sync your device.

Address book gives no option to sync with gmail contacts

On my iMac, there is an option to sync with google contacts. On my MacBook there is not. How can I get the gmail contact option on my 2 year old MacBook

I'm guessing your iMac is new enough to be running Snow Leopard and the MacBook is not, if so, install Snow Leopard on the MacBook.

How do I set up a calendar on my iphone that doesn't sync with iCloud?

I have an iPhone, iPad , iMac and Mac mini all connected to iCloud for syncing of iCal, Mail, Address Book etc.
I want to set up a calendar on my iPhone that doesn't sync to my other devices, so that I can set reminders that will only pop up on the iPhone.
Can anyone help with advice? Does iCal/iCloud handle this?

Have read the printer manual, it will contain instructions for connecting it to a network, and then to your Mac. You don't identify this printer so it's difficult to be more specific.
You can also go to the printer manufacturers website and seek assistance there.

My bookmarks of my books on iPhone doesn't sync with mac OS X

Hi when im reading with my iphone, but when i stop i put bookmark in my iphone and later im going to continue reading with mi macbook (mavericks) and i dont have my bookmarks. It extrañe cause when im reading with a my mac and i put a bookmark with the mac i can follow my reading in the iphone with out problmes but not in the other way.
Any solutions Please help!

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Photo app (Mac) doesn't sync with iCloud

Hi All,
I have taken couple of pictures at home with my iphone which are in my iphone photo library and have by now also made it to the iCloud online.
However, when I start the photo app on my Mac (OS Yosemite) these photos are still not there. While I expect that they should be there instantly, they have had now couple of hours (within a wifi network) to be synced.
(Having a flawless synchronisation between apple devices was one of my key factors why I have bought an app. However, this hardly every works.)
Does anyone know how I can force the photo app only my Mac to refresh and thus get the latest pictures from iCloud?
I would much appreciate any help!
Many thanks
Alpha

Make sure you have ticked Numbers in System Preferences > iCloud.
You may need to sign out of iCloud and then back in again to "jumpstart " the syncing.

Why after IOS6 Ipad calendar not syncing with Icloud?

After I upgrade Iphone and Ipad to IOS6, my Ipad calendar doesn't sync with ICloud using exactly same Apple ID. Any sugestions?

1. Fire up your Mac and connect the iPad.
2. Open iTunes and confirm that you are NOT syncing via the cable. Change settings as appropriate. When finished, disconnect the iPad and power it down.
3. Open iCal on the Mac and confirm that the events are correct. Add/delete events as appropriate. Quit from iCal.
4. Open System Preferences > MobileMe > Sync
5. Click on "Advanced" and then click on your Mac when it shows up.
6. Click on "Reset Sync Data"
7. At the top, Replace: Calendars
8. Click the right-pointing arrow so that the complete text states: "Replace Calendars on MobileMe with sync info from this computer."
9. Click "Replace"
10. You've confirmed that your Mac and MobileMe are set up properly. Now the iPad. Fire up the iPad and go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
11. REMOVE Calendar syncing from the account that's identified by your email address.
12. Follow the instructions below.

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?

How to sync Address book with iphone on 10.5, while iphone synced with iCloud?

My mac runs leopard 10.5.8. Meanwhile iPhone is updated to 5.1. and synced with iCloud. As we know, OS X 10.5 can not be synced with iCloud. How to sync Address book with iphone? My Address Book on my mac has almost all contacts that can be found on my iPhone. Even with pictures from FB and extra info such as twitter accounts, etc.
The question is - how can I manage my contacts? Now I have added several new entries to my iPhone, but they won't appear on mac's address book. In iTunes the contacts sync box is unchecked due to the fact that iPhone syncs with iCloud. But then I'm wondering where did Address Book get all the contact updates that were made on iPhone?
I'd like to control this whole thing. And is there such thing as one data base, that could used by all devices and would change entries on all of them, if I change or add something on my iPhone?
Or I just have to get Lion and let the iCloud do the magic?
Thanks,
Lauris

I just synced my new iPhone (iOS 5.0.1) with the Address Book on my Mac which runs 10.5.8 and iTunes 10.5.2. I launched iTunes and then I connected the iPhone to the Mac. It appeared on the DEVICES list in the left column in iTunes. I selected it and then the Summary screen appeared in the right part of the iTunes window.
In the Backup section of the Summary you can choose whether to 'Back up to iCloud' or 'Back up to this computer'. Even if you have 'Back up to iCloud' selected, there is a 'Sync' button in the bottom right hand corner of the iTUnes window where you can manually initiate a sync with the Mac.
Hope this helps,
Dave

My iPod touch 2nd generation does not sync my contacts. I only have iCloud contacts in my address book. How can i sync that?

My iPod touch 2nd generation does not sync my contacts. I only have iCloud contacts in my address book. How can i sync that?

I do not fully understand you question. To use iCloud on an iOS device requires iOS 5 and the 2G only goes to iOS 4.1.2 and thysyu can't access iCloud, including contacts.
Maybe you could sync the iCloud contacts with anopther program and sync that program with the 2G iPod.
The following smple states the following for Contacts:
iCloud: What if my device or computer doesn't meet iCloud system requirements?
Contacts
If you want to check your iCloud Contacts, you can do so by visiting icloud.com from a Mac or PC (as long as it meets the browser system requirements for icloud.com).
