Adressbook sync with iPhone contacts

I got this new iPhone 5 and restored my iPhone-4-contacts on it. Then I made the facebook-sync and now I have all the added data (pics, email-adresses, ...) in my iPhone-contacts.
These added data will not show up in my adress-book on my Mac (Mountain Lion). What did I do wrong?
Sync with iCloud is on.
Thanks, Gernot

Hi Shady!
I don't think that clearing the sync history is the only cure to this problem. At least it does not help for me. I believe that the problem with contact syncing is not monocausal, hence the cure with the sync history won't heal the manifold of root causes.
My situation is as follows:
What works great when syncing back and forth between the iPhone and the addressbook.app
. *Adding new* contacts or updating contacts +on the iPhone+
. *Editing or updating existing* contacts +on the iPhone+
. *Adding new* contacts +in addressbook.app+
What does not work at all:
. Choosing any existing (created before using or syncing with iPhone) contact and sync it with the iPhone
I sync only a certain group in addressbook.app, not all contacts.
The only way to cure this problem for me so far: Adding a new contact on iPhone or addressbook.app, which is a pain given that all the contact data is already present.
Interesting enough this was not a problem from the beginning. During the first couple weeks or months I could choose any of my "old" contacts and grow that group as I saw fit and everything worked flawlessly...
Very disappointing...

  • Is there a domestic telephone system that can sync with iPhone contacts

    I am wanting to purchase a 4 station domestic telephone system that I can sync with my iPhone contacts. Is there one available for Australian use?

    Are you talking about the Apple iPod Universal Dock? It connectors for S-Video out, audio out (with composite video) and dock connector, which you can connect an iPod AC Adaptor for charging the iPod while using it in the dock.
    This is all available in the iPod AV Connection Kit.

  • Why won't Outlook 2011 Contacts sync with iPhone Contacts?

    When i left a previous company i wanted to keep my outlook contacts. To do this i exported them from the company PC into a .PST file. I was then given a MacBook Air at my current company and wanted to import the contacts from the .PST file to my outlook (Outlook 2011). This was fine and i have my old contacts on my new work MacBook. My problem is that i cannot get the contacts to show in my iPhone 6 (company phone) contacts. When i go to itunes, then my device and contacts i am given the option to sync contacts from different places. The only place that comes up is OWA and there is no option to sync the .PST file that is on my outlook. I need to be able to sync these so that if i add a contact at the office on the mac or if i add a contact on my phone when out meeting a client that they then appear on both devices no matter which one it was created on.
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

    I did what you said and everything looked and worked perfectly...except the events still aren't showing up on my iPhone even though they are in Google Calendar. How much time does it take to populate the iphone calendar with the   events from the just added calendar?  I changed the settings a couple of hours ago.
    Thank you!

  • Sync existing contacts from Adressbook.app with iPhone fails

    Hi!
    Syncing works as advertised between my Mac, .Mac, Addressbook.app and my iPhone for ALL NEW CONTACTS, no matter where they are created (iPhone or Mac).
    However ... if I choose to sync an old contact from Adressbook.app with iPhone the sync process in iTunes will always stall!
    My setup, looks like this:
    I sync a dedicated group of Addressbook.app with iPhone. Whenever I choose to add an old, existing contact from my Addressbook database to this group the next sync and all ongoing syncs will quit unexpectedly. iTunes will show a message telling me that iPhone disconnected.
    The only way to cure this behavior I have come across is to manually
    * enter a new contact with the existing data in Addressbook.app and adding it to my iPhone group
    * delete the existing contact in Addressbook.app
    * sync via iTunes
    This is VERY annoying and tedious.
    Anyone with a solution besides resetting sync history in iSync? This doesn't seem to help.
    Thanks

    I just bought a Macbook Pro and want to sync my iPhone contacts.  How do I do this?

    Use the usb cable that comes with your iPhone to connect it to your Mac. Read the directions that came with the iPhone. Post in the iPhone forums where the iPhone gurus are. Google... Look to the right of your post in the "More Like This" column...

    Thank you.

    So you have business contacts that were lost... do you not have these on a Database in some shape or form? Sounds like you need to invest in a RAID1 backup setup for your computer so you dont have this issue in the future.
    As for repairing your problem, sounds like you are going to need to start from scratch at this point or if the data is still on your phone look into a program that can take the information from the phone onto iTunes.

    Hold down the mute button on the steering wheel until you hear,"Ready" and then say "Voice". That will bring up Siri.

    The sync process for contacts with a supported address book app on your computer is a bi-directional or true sync process, or should be. There is no setting to enable or disable this.

  • Why won't contacts sync with iphone

    I'm loosing the will to live and I've spent hours trawling through the huge amount of fixes suggested on various sites but to no avail. I run a macbook pro, OSX10.6.8, Itunes 10.4 and the software on the iphone was updated today. Syncing with iTunes worked fine up until about 3 weeks ago - I don't know what happend but it just stopped. If I delete all the contacts in the mac address book (310) and run a sync nothing changes on the 472 iphone contacts. All the settings appear to be correct in the preferences. If I check the box to stop syncing contacts and delete all 472 contacts on the phone - they all dissapear. When I reset the sync contacts check box and check the "replace all the contacts on this phone during the next sync" box I get all 472 back again. Can anybody offer any help at all please before I slash my wrists!!

    Clearly it doesn't work as I imagine! But I still don't understand what you mean. I'm not saying that I don't like Google's instructions,- what makes you say that?  I'm saying that I think I've already followed them to the letter. How have I not? What else, exactly, do I need to do? Talk me through an example, please.
    "You have added a data conduit between Google and your phone. But you have not put anything IN that conduit, save the data Google already has."
    What I want to put into it is the contact data aleady on my phone (and in icloud). Google's instruction seems to say that to put something in the conduit, I just have to open Contacts on the iphone. Clearly that's not correct. So what do I do?
    Here's what I'm refering to in Goolge's instructions:
    "If you're using iOS 5 or iOS 6, follow these steps to set up contact syncing with Google Contacts:
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account... > Other > Add CardDAV Account.
    Enter the following information in the fields: 
    Server: google.com
    User Name: your full Google email address
    Password: your Google account password
    Tap Next at the top of the screen to complete the setup.
    After you have completed the setup, open the Contacts app on your device. Syncing should begin automatically."
    The last sentence seems to me to mean that opening Contacts will "put someting in the conduit".
