Can't sync contacts with Verizon Motorola V3m

I had been able to sync with this phone before and on this same computer (MBP) and user account. That is until I deleted the phone the Bluetooth Preferences.
I can re-add the phone via Bluetooth Preferences again, but unlike before, the Mac does not ask me if I want to set up for syncing contacts, events, modem, networking. The device is added, but doesn't get added to the iSync devices.
Any suggestions?

Ah! This explains why I have been tearing my hair out for the past 24 hours trying to get my contacts from Address Book to my new BB Torch!
I found a workaround for a one-time sync:
1. go into Address Book prefs and temporarily change Default account from iCloud to On My Mac (this makes the "All on My Mac" category visible)
2. Go back into your contacts window, select all of your contacts, and copy them to All on My Mac (this will create duplicates of everything)
3. Sync the BB.
3. Return to prefs to change default account back to iCloud, and select all the contacts in All on My Mac and delete them, thereby removing all duplicates.
This solution only works for a one-time sync and needs to be repeated for future syncs.
Let's hope BB comes up with an iCloud compatible update ASAP!

Can't sync contacts with Blackberry phone after migration to iCloud

Can't sync contacts with Blackberry phone after migration to iCloud. The only way to do is to have a local copy of address book. What else can I do (before BB will fix the bug)?

Help!! Can't sync contacts with Desktop Software

Has anyone figured out how to get around the error message that says you can't sync contacts because it can't access the database? I have un-installed PocketMac and the desktop software, and then re-installed it, but it still will not sync. My address book also doesn't show up in the applications. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

IPad can't sync contacts with iCloud

I need some help.... I have an iMac running Mtn Lion (10.8.2) and an iPad3 (6.0.1) and I'm trying to sync the two in iCloud. Contacts are giving me a headache. I've got the contacts into iCloud so I went to iTunes, clicked on the iPad and went to "info". Thought everything was OK but no contacts (actually there are a couple) on the IPad. Went back to iTunes and clicked on the iPad. went to "info" and now there is no box to check next to "Sync Contacts" and the message in the box says "Your contacts are being synced with you iPad over the air from iCloud" and "Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on your iPad." My contacts are syncing (iPad) with iCloud and I can't figure out to get the check box back so I can choose to sync my contacts. I know there are other threads out there with similar questions but I couldn't find anything that helped me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Correction....my iPad contacts are NOT syncing with iCloud

Can't sync contacts with yahoo account (and I do have internet connection!)

When I sync my iPhone 4 with my computer, it says it can't sync with my Yahoo account (as it has been for the past year) because I don't have an internet connection. I have wireless interent connection and I've checked everything - it's hooked up and I've tried to close out programs, restart etc. I have the latest iTunes version on my computer. Thank you for your help in advance...

OK, sounds like you are using Yahoo to store your contacts. If you're having a problem with this, it is highly likely it is on Yahoo's end since they often have server issues, but two things you can try:
If you're currently on wi-fi, turn that off and see if you can access your contacts via 3G.
Try deleting the Yahoo account off your iPhone and re-create it.
Last week my Yahoo account was acting buggy and didn't get resolved until I did both (turned off wi-fi, then deleted and re-created the account over 3G).

Why are you running Mobile Me? calendars and contacts are no longer available there, your Hotmail address may be OK for an Apple ID but wion't work for email in iCloud,
Outlook is dreadful anyhow, use emClient for iCloud.

Can't sync contacts with Viber and whatsapp

Hi I have a iPhone 5S running 7.1.1 latest iOS.
Since this update whatsapp can't sync to my contacts and when I installed Viber I'm getting the same issue. These apps simply just sit trying to sync or load contacts.
Privacy is turned on for both apps and there are no restriction on the phone.
I have iCloud, exchange and gmail contacts on but have tried turning off gmail and exchange. Followed by uninstalled both apps and reinstalled Viber still no resolution.
At one stage I did a complete restore of the phone.
Is there a know issue with these apps and / or can you advise of any solution. I have also raised a case on Viber.

Also tried turning off Wifi as discussed in a different tread and this did not solve the problem. I managed to load Viber on to my iPad2 also running 7.1.1 and this worked.

N97: Can't sync contacts with Ovi Suite

Everytime my N97 is connected to my PC via Bluetooth or USB, everything is syncing fine, except for the contacts.
I already updated to the most recent Ovi Suite version, but it's still not working.
When trying a manual sync, by clicking on "sync contacts" on the ovi suite, I am getting an error message:
Sync cancelled
Could not continue syncing
Reconnect the USB cable to your device or connect via Bluetooth. Then try syncing again.
Any ideas?
Solved!

Can't Sync Contacts with iPod on iTunes 12

Hello, It seems as if i can't sync my contacts and calendars to my iPod nano in iTunes 12. However, If i go to my iPhone, it shows the contacts & calendars are being synced to iCloud (under info). Why can't i sync them to my iPod???

Thanks.
Unfortunately there is no change. Here is what I did:
1) I synched one selected group only of the addressbook. The sync was successful.
2) A few days later when I reconnected iTouch to my Mac the iTouch appeared in iTunes and its software was automatically updated.
3) Later on, in the info tag, I unclicked the group that was initially selected (and addresses transferred) and changed the sync to "sync all". But during the transfer suddenly the iPod disconnects in the middle of the transfer. The iTouch is plugged in the Mac, but disconnected. Ans so says the warning message.
Note that the folder "sync all" as well as the initially selected group are both visible in iTouch contact groups.
any other suggestion?
Thaks again

@amartyno,
Could you please try the following steps, hopefully that helps:
In fact the problem seems to be a windows 7 registry problem. In the end I found the solution here (on a post related to itunes - but if anyone interested follows the thread they'll see that moving to the latest version of itunes presents exactly the same hang as trying to intall OVI - http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7programs/thread/f4dd5033-9bcb-4788-b100-5e98bd80f...)
If you can't be bothered to follow the link/read the entire post - what you have to do is:
1) Open regedit and replace the following value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\
Key: RegistrySizeLimit
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0xFFFFFFFF (4294967295)
2) Reboot

Curve 9360 can't sync contacts with Gmail

Can't sync contacts with my iphone using icloud?

I have tried to sync my contacts on my iPhone and iMac and will only go one way. From the iMac to the iPhone through iCloud. When adding new contact to the phone it won't appear on the iMac contacts. I have 696 contacts on the iMac and and 750 on the iPhone. Any ideas?

Ok. If you want the 696 contacts currently in iCloud to be the master list and have them replace the contacts on your phone, do the following:
On your phone, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts off and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted.
Download the app My Contacts Backup to your phone. Open the app, tap the gear icon on the lower right, and in the window that opens, scroll to the bottom and tap Remove All Contacts. (If you want to back them up first, you can use the app the back up the contacts on your phone as a vCard attachement to an email that you send to youself, which can later be used to restore them if necessary.) Confirm that all contacts are now deleted from your phone.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts on again. Confirm that the 696 contact from iCloud are now on your phone.
Add a test contact on your phone and confirm that it appears on icloud.com and your Mac now. If so, you should be all set.
