All of my contacts not synching?

Using Address Book 4.1, I am unable to synch certain contacts to either of my i
Pod Touches. I have deleted the contacts from Address Book and re-entered them, though they will not synch over. Any ideas?
Thanks.

I'm guessing you mean folders in the Address Book program? If so, they are all in the same folders.

Contacts not synching

Using Address Book 4.1, I am unable to synch certain contacts to either of my i
Pod Touches. I have deleted the contacts from Address Book and re-entered them, though they will not synch over. Why is this?

It is definitely set to synching contacts, some are synching, just not all of them. It is a few that will not synch.

HT204150 iCloud Contacts not synching

I have synched my iPhone 4 to iCloud and only 29 of my contacts are appearing in the iCloud contacts even though I have a lot more than that on my phone. How do I get the rest of my contacts into iCloud without doing it manually?
I am now the proud owner of an iPad and unable to put all my contacts into the iPad from iCoud due the above problem.
Thank you for your help

Welcome to the Apple Community.
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.

IPhone 3GS / Exchange 2007 - One Contact Not Synching

Hi there,
We have a 3GS phone that is not synchronizing 1 contact (only the one we know of about 250+) when the contact is definitely in the users Outlook 2007 / Exchange 2007 system. As best we can tell, all of the users other contacts our showing up fine on the iPhone.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

The wrong contact Group was selected. Once we selected the Exchange accounts "Contacts" all the accounts were there.

Contacts not synching from Apple Address Book to iPhone

I updated to iTunes 10.6.3 on MacOS 10.8.1 and my Contacts no longer synch.
In fact, on the iTunes Info page, the groups don't even display when Synch Contacts and All Contacts are both selected.
The iPhone has iOS 5.1.1, which is current.
I checked Software Update. Then I synched with the advanced option to overwrite Contacts on the iPhone with the Apple Address Book on my iMac. No luck.
Then I searched online and didn't find anything on point, so I came here to share this issue in the hopes that you have some inights and ideas to fix this problem.
Any suggestions?
BTW, this clears Contacts on the iPhone.
Thanks in advance!

Oops -- I just had to turn iCloud on in the System settings on the iPhone, then the Contacts synched.

Contacts not synching through cloud

I added my contacts to the cloud, they all showed up on my air book, but when I add a new contact to either my iPhone or air book, it does not show on both devices. What am I doing wrong?

Open Contacts>Preferences>General and verify that iCloud is the default account on your Mac. Then do the same thing on your iPhone. Settings>Mail, Contacts and Calendars>Contacts>Default account.
Same applies to Calendars.

Contacts not synching properly...

Hi Guys,
Just been tidying up my Address Book on the Mac and reset the sync to .Mac Have also just synched to my iPhone and some of the contacts have information missing like phone numbers etc!
Is their a reason for this or even a workaround? Plainly a phone with missing numbers is about as useful as a chocolate ashtray...
Cheers

I couldn't have put this better as I too have the same **** problem - what is going on! Surely this is a simple function that Apple should be put away for screwing up - unbelievably slack performance

Photos, calendar entries, contacts not synching between my iPad, iPhone, and PC. Was working a few weeks ago!

Until a few weeks ago, any photo I saved on my iPad automatically showed up on my computer. The same with changes to contact information, calendar entries, etc. If I made the changes/additions on one device it automatically showed up on the other. Now, that doesn't happen. What do I need to check/fix to get that working again?

im in the same situation except, i cant even load my old backup onto my phone, itunes gives me an error message, no number, and acts like there was no problem, syncs all my music and i have to use my phone as a new one, i have no contacts or anything now, and i cant even go back to 4.3.5 now, that wont even let me, itunes keeps making errors.....

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!

HT4796 recently purchaced a macbook pro and cannot transfer music,contacts,notes etc. from my iphone 4 onto my new macbook pro!! please help

Im a ex windows vista user, who evently became fed up and converted to a macbook pro. i just purchesed the macbook pro yesterday and have been trying to transfer all my music, contacts, notes, apps, etc. from my iphone 4 onto my new macbook pro. nothing seem to be working without it trying to erase all my info off of my iphone 4. I didnt think this would be a issue where they are both apple devices, but im now starting to regret the decision to purchace this macbook pro. please help me so i dont loose all my info trying to sync both devices. thanks for you help and advice

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can only sync the iPhone with one Mac or PC, so your Mac is asking you to erase the device because you synced it with another Mac or PC. To avoid this, I recommend you to copy the "iTunes" folder of your old Mac or PC (in Music folder) to the Music folder of your Mac, so you'll have the same data on your Mac as the data you had on the PC.
To transfer contacts, notes, etc., I recommend iCloud > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

Ipod nano does not synch all contacts

ipod nano does not synch all contacts. When it synchs, it only transfers 7 of 2000+ contacts

My point in the original posting that this is a bug seems to have been answered affirmatively by the notations of the quirkiness of the action. The argument that it must not be a bug because it would have been solved by now is totally disingenuous. Apparently Apple programmers (or their management) are not any superior to Microsoft programmers in that they focus on adding new bells and whistles while allowing longstanding problems in the core code to continue to fester.

IMac contacts do not synch with iCloud, iPhone & iPad contacts do

When I add/modify contacts on my MacBook Pro, the changes do not synch to iCloud, or my iPhone or iPad. Calendar items and iCloud mail do synch and contactys synch between my iPhone and iPad. What am I missing? I have Lion.

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.
