Can't sync my contacts with iPhone 3G since started using iCloud

Hey guys
I have an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 3G. before iCloud, I used to sync both of them with my mac and everything would work like a charm. but since iCloud's running and I'm backing up my iPhone to my iCloud account, everything's ok between my iPhone 4 iOS 5.0.1 and Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2.
The problem is when I want to sync contacts between iPhone 3G iOS 4.2.1 and Mac. My iPhone 4 shows that the contacts are in a group names 'All iCloud' and it seems like I can sync only contacts from the group named 'All from my Mac' to my iPhone 3G. Eventhough I have all my contacts in my Address Book already. And it seems I would be able to sync my contacts if I can get them on my Mac, but how?
Any Ideas?

Think all we need to do is to move contacts from 'All iCloud' to 'All from Mac' somehow.
But how?!
This is not something I've been able to test, but I believe this process will do it:
Select all your contacts in the 'iCloud' list in Address Book.
From the File menu choose 'Export>vCard' and save the vCard on your Desktop or somewhere convenient.
Set 'On My Mac' to be the default account in Preferences.
From the File menu choose 'Import' and select your vCard.
Import into Address book, making sure the contacts go into 'On My Mac'.
You will now have duplicate contacts, and can delete the ones under 'iCloud'.\
As you will have gathered, you have three choices:
Keep your contacts under 'On My Mac' and sync them via USB.
Keep your contacts under 'iCloud' and sync them to iCloud.
Keep a full set under each category and sync to both. Of course any additions or changes will have to be made twice.

Since Belle update: Can't sync phone contacts with...

This question was asked in the N series boards by someone else but with no reply's, thanks paramasivan for first raising this. I have an E6 so I'll post the same query here for better luck.
Since the update to Belle the "social network" option from the contacts has been removed.
This means I can't sync my contacts with my friends/contacts from Facebook. I've logged in and used Nokia Social but there's no option anymore to sync this.
So how do we sync these again ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

From another thread on the same topic someone posted these links that worked fine, the second link in particular worked for me.

Can't sync my contact from iPhone to iPad Air

Can't sync my contact from iPhone to iPad Air.
If I add a new contact in iPad Air it appears on iPhone. If I delete this new contact on iPhone it is also deleted on iPad. But the whole contacts of iPhone cannot be imported in iPad.
Please help me! Who has any idea?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Please try the following…
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.

Can I sync my contacts with hotmail just like calendar

Just as the calendar snyc feature with Hotmail I would like to sync my contacts with Hotmail so that I have all my contact details in one place. Is this possible? Importing contacts form the SIm is a long tedious method and has limited capability.
Regards
Ravindra Bhat

Apparently that feature is already implemented in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/whats-new-firefox-os-v11#w_import-contacts-from-more-places v1.1] .
You will have to wait for your device maker to support that version or use fastboot to install it yourself.
For now, I use vcardin from the Marketplace to import contacts from vcard(s) on a memory card.

Can't Sync "All Contacts" with iPod Touch 2nd Generation

I have an older 2nd Gen iPod Touch (iOS 4.2.1) and a 2011 MacAir running Mountain Lion (MacOS 10.8) and the latest version of iTunes (10.6.3). The Contacts application on the MacAir is syncing the "All on my Mac" group (84 contacts) with my iPod, rather than syncing with "All Contacts" (100 contacts). Is there a way to change this? I never setup the "All on my Mac" group so I don't know how that group got defined. I assumed it appeared as part of the Mountain Lion (or Lion) upgrades, but I'm not sure. I realize that iTunes provides the option of syncing with "All" or "Selected Groups" I have selected "All" but am still only getting the contacts from the "All on my Mac" group rather than "All Contacts."
P.S. Since the 2nd Gen iPod Touch cannot run iOS5 I can only sync through USB cable...no iCloud.
Help!

For anyone who might read my post and have the same problem, the above link, second option to try work like a charm. I have my music back. I had to go looking for it and clicking on one of the pieces to play it in iTunes worked. Not all the music was located right away but it was still findable.

How can I sync *CURRENT* contacts with Facebook?

I searched the discussions and found numerous questions asking how to sync Facebook's contacts with Address Book but those results just put all of Facebook's contacts in your Address Book. I would like to sync the my current addressbook with Facebook and import user pictures, email addresses, etc.
I'm an iPhone user all of 24 hours but this is done pretty seemlessly on Android phones.
Is there a way of selecting just current contacts to be synced with Facebook?
I'm using an iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.3
Thank you.

I have found that syncing my contacts then un-syncing them results in my current contacts retaining all the info and picture from Facebook. I just don't have the Facebook updates, which I'm happier about anyway.

Can I sync my contacts with a supported mobile phone now with lion?

Now I've upgraded to Lion and there is no iSync, can I sync my phone (Sony Erikson that was supported in iSync)?

You can still use iSync v3.1.2 from Snow Leopard in Lion for now, however, in some OS X update in the future it will stop working as Apple has deprecated the SyncServices framework which iSync uses.

How to Sync contacts between iPhone and Mac pro using iCloud?

Like many other people i have set up both my iphone and my Macbook Pro 13' on the same icloud account and yet my contacts on my phone are not transfering over to my computer propperly? They usually dont go on at all or they go on but not fully. (ie: cell number missing, or email is missing.) This has frustrated me ever since icloud came out, and i have ended up emailing every single one of my contacts from my phone to myself so that i can get them on my computer. If anybody has had this problem or has any suggestions i would be happy to hear.

Depends how you sync. If using iCloud, set it in the iCloud settings on the phone. If syncing with iTunes, set in on the Info page of your divice in iTunes

Can't sync iPad 2 or iPhone 4 since updating iTunes on Windows 7.

Since upgrading my iPad 2 and my iPhone 4 to iOS 4.3.4 I havebeen unable to properly sync both devices with iTunes 10.4.0.80. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit. The issue is when it goes to sync my contacts and calendar with Outlook 2010, it will just sit there for > 30 mins doing nothing but “syncing contacts”, not going beyond that point. I have to cancel sync to get out of it. Steps I have taken include unticking sync contacts, calendar, bookmarks and notes, (this allows apps and photos to sync without issue) , removing the Apple USB device in Device Manager, and finally reinstalling iTunes.
I’ve never had sync issues with previous iOS and iTunesversions on this PC.
I’m out of ideas, any help out there, please?

None of the solutions in this thread or other similar threads have worked for me. I have uninstalled and reinstalled all Apple files using the correct sequence. I have disabled all Outlook plugins except for the two Apple plugins. I have disabled Bonjour and run Itunes in Windows 7 Compatibility mode.
I also seem to have a slightly different issue and I think the issue may be with the Outlook Itunes plugin or the Outlook Change Notifier plugin.
Here's my situation since upgrading to iTunes 10.4.0.80 and iOS 4.3.5 - although the issues started with earlier versions of 10.4 and 4.3. I am using Outlook 2010 32 bit version on Windows 7 64 bit version. I am using Outlook with a PST file not MS Exchange.
1. The sync appears to go okay with the backup, preparing to sync, syncing contacts, syncing calender, syncing notes, etc. Successful backups are shown in the Device tabs in Preferences and if I run iTunes diagnostics all tests are successful.
2. Any edits I make in Contacts or Calender on my iPhone are not apparent in Outlook after a sync. The Notes seem to sync just fine.
3. Edits I make to Contacts or Calender in MS Outlook are inconsistently synced to my iPhone. Sometimes they sync and sometimes they don't.
4. No for the really wierd part. If I connect my iPad and sync all of the edits that were originally done on the iPhone are present and correct on the iPad. However, again edits that were originally done in Outlook are sporadic.
So it appears to me that the data in the Outlook file is probably syncing correctly but that the display of the data within outlook is not correct. This makes me think the Outlook Change Notifier might be the issue. I just don't know how to test this or fix this. I know there is a cache used with MS Exchange but I cannot find any cache with a PST file.
Any help or other ideas would be appreciated.

I can't get my contacts from IPhone to go into my ICloud on my PC so that I can load into my IPad. Any suggestions?

I can't get my contacts from my IPhone to upload into my iCloud on my PC so that I can load them into my IPad. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure if you mean to say "back up" because a backup does not include contacts. What you need to do is go to Settings>iCloud and turn on both icloud and contacts. That should connect the phone to icloud and sync the contacts.

I can not synchro. Notes with Iphone 3GS since I have migrated to a macbook pro with OS 10.8. Can you help

IPhone: My IPhone 3GS is with iOS 5.1.1. . I have activated ICloud for Notes (And location of my IPhone only). My Notes are subsequently classified in two groups "ICloud" and "My IPhone".
Macbook pro: I do not succeed to activate ICloud for Notes on my macbook pro with OS 10.8.. WHen I tip on Notes for its activation with ICloud have a message that everytimes tells me - after several seconds - to try later !
I generally synchronize both via ITunes (wifi). There is no longuer any option to synchronize Notes.
Subsequently I can no longuer synchronize my Notes. Could you help me ? Is there any other way than by using ICloud (which I am not so much a fun) ?
Thanks

Even today, 21st Century and all, printing on Unix systems can be somewhat of a black art, and every so often a gremlin or two crawl out of the woodwork. Purging all can make sure no damaged pointers or corrupted caches linger on to make life miserable.
Glad you're peachy now.

I can't sync iPod classic with iTunes Match since I have updated to iTunes 11

When I open iTunes (11) and connect my iPod (classic) it does not recognise the device. I am using iTunes Match. My question is how do I transfer the music from PC to my iPod? I just bought a new PC and thought getting Match would be useful and save time transferring from my old PC. It was fine to begin with until the iTunes 11 update.
Any help would be appreciated!

The iPod classic not bring recognized is unrelated to iTunes Match. You should post this problem to either the iPod Classic forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipod/ipod_classic or the iTunes for Windows forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_for_windows. Probably the former.
FYI it is only iOS devices that cannot be synced via USB with iTunes Match enabled.

Can't sync google calendar with iPhone 5 iOS 7

I am having problems syncing my google calendar to my iPhone 5 iOS 7. Contacts and mail work fine...calendar not so much. Any assistance would be helpful.

JesusRamirez,
The EOS Remote App version 1.1.0 that you can download from the App Store should be compatible with your iPhone 5S. Your inability to connect may be caused by something else. In order to determine what that is, I need some additional information.
Are you unable to interface with the camera using the Remote App or are you unable to make a network connection with the camera?
Do you receive any errors when you try to connect?
When you set up the network connection between your iPhone and your EOS 6D, did your iPhone see the EOS 6D's network?

Can't sync Aperture Photos with iPhone under iTunes 10

I've recently upgraded to iTunes 10 and when I go to the photos section under the iPhone sync options, I can select either sync all photos or sync selected projects under sync with iPhoto, but as soon as I select Aperture it greys out the selected projects option, and reports 0 photos in Aperture to sync at all. This also happened when iTunes9 was first released and magically fixed itself some months later. Does anyone know why my Aperture library no longer appears to iTunes10 and how can I get it to find it?
Cheers
Garry

I am having the same problem, I cannot select Projects if A3 is selected in iTunes. If All faces, albums and projects is selected the sync crashes almost immediately after starting the image routine.
1) Deleted the iPod data directory and files - no joy
2) Repaired, rebuilt database - no joy
3) Flipped sharing preference bit on, and off between program executions - no joy
4) Searched database for filenames with symbols in the file name. Found a couple - exported them from my project and deleted the masters - no joy
Then I noticed my facebook folders were syncing files DOWN from facebook and giving them very long filenames. Well, not long in the unix community - but upwards of 50 characters in length. Im wondering if anyone else has noticed this and if this could be the culprit.
In any case - until this is run to ground I am unable to use my iPad for the primary purpose for which it was purchased - as a mobile display of my portfolio.
Going to sleep now - been up for 24 hours. I think I will try deleting my facebook folders completely (from facebook) and then will see what happens.
