Contact sync fail

My contacts won't sync, I have set up icloud properly but it still doesn't sync my contacts on my MacBook Pro.

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.

Google Contacts sync fails

I would like to sync my Apple Contacts with my Google Contacts. The Contacts app includes a preference to do just that which seems to use ISyncManager to do that. ISync puts an icon on my Apple Menu Bar with an option to "Sync Now". When I click that icon I get the following message:
3/23/13 gconsync[300]: [0x7fde8a409c40] |ISyncManager|Warning| Could not retrieve ISyncClient with id com.apple.Keychain!
The sync never occurs. I've gone into Keychain Access and made sure that GoogleContactSyncService allows non-restricted access. No change. I've also reset the SyncServices folder using:
/System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl full
Still no change.
I assume others would like to sync these contacts. I'm thinking now it has something to do with the fact my contacts are managed in iCloud. Even so the sync should work.
Any advice and guidance appreciated.

The built-in help for Contacts has this to say:
Important: If you’re syncing contacts with Google Contacts and you add an iCloud account, Google syncing is turned off. It’s recommended to keep it turned off while using the iCloud Contacts service.

Sync Fail to update iCal and Contacts between iPhone and MacBook

I've recently upgraded my MacBook Pro to OS X Yosemite (10.10.2) and iTunes (12.1.0.50). I am trying to sync my MacBook with my iPhone 5 (iOS 8.2) and iPad mini (iOS 8.2) without iClouds. In iTunes i've selected the All Contacts under Sync Contacts & All Calendars under Sync Calendars. Once again I am not syncing to iClouds but rather manually between the 3 machines. Since I've upgraded, my calendar and contact information is not being synced between the MacBook and iPhone. When executing the sync the process completes cleanly indicating syncing of contacts & calendar was successful. But when checked on iPhone they contacts haven't been updated. Any recommendations?

Simply on the iPhone in the iCloud preferences turn off the contacts sync. It will ask if u wanna delete or not the contacts on the iphone. You answer to leave the Contacts on iphone. After that proceed to delete all contacts from all u're other devices and the iCloud site. A way to do it fast is to deselect the contact sync on icloud options in every device and when asked tell to delete the contacts from device. When u're sure that all other devices contacts are clean turn again on the contacts sync on the iCloud preferences for each device and at last the iPhone. After few the iPhone contacts will be sync to other device so u'll have same Contacts on all device. In this way when u'll made a change on one of u're device all other will have same change.

Outlook Shared Contacts Sync Issue

**Before i start, i posted this in the Outlook section and was told to post it the Outlook for Exchange section.. So i posted this in the Outlook for Exchange section and the Moderator tells me to post it in the
Outlook section.. So i'm being thrown in a loop back and forth between two forums. Please help me either post it in the correct section or help me with my issue. Links to my posts are at the bottom of this re-post.**
I have a user who adds emails to the "Notes" section of a shared contact. It has worked in the past. She now drags and drops the email into the notes folder, it shows that the email was added, she saves the contact, closes the contact,
then reopens the contact and the information/email that was added is no longer there.
Also, when she opens up the contact, on the top of the window it says "This item was not completely updated during the last server synchronization"
On the bottom of the contact's window it says "Last modified by [email protected] on 11/19/2014" So it doesn't seem to have updated for about 5 months.
The user is on Outlook 2010 - Cached Mode - Windows 7
We use Exchange 2013
We have checked her sync issues folder and see two messages pertaining to this shared contact.

Hi Allen,
Neither are correct. They open a contact in their address book and drag the email into the "Notes" section of the contact. So they do not drag the email into the Notes section of Outlook nor the Contacts section to create a new contact.
There are no errors. I have a screenshot with an example contact card but i can't add it because it says i need to verify my account.. I'm not sure how to do that. I already clicked on the verification email. For example. An email
to me from Bill titled "company announcement" is dragged into the notes section of in Bill's contact card. This is so that i can go to my contacts, click on bill's card, and see emails from him that are important saved inside his contact card.
After dragging the email into this location, I hit save and close the contact card. Usually the email stays there in the notes section but lately when I reopen the contact card, the email that I dropped into the Notes section has disappeared. Other
emails are still in the Notes section but new ones just don't stay.
Just tried doing a Send/Receive All and same issue. User is in cached mode because they have a large mailbox. Can try online mode. Do you know if the Notes section in the contact list has
a size limit?

Random Contacts sync errors

We keep encountering Contacts sync errors. We are syncing two Macs/Lion and two iPads. There is no pattern as to where the correct contact entry was created - could by any of the four devices. We don't create on icloud.com, only use that for troubleshooting and manual repair.
I am 90% sure that all of these errors are of the form [change made to device] but [no change made to iCloud.com]. If the dbms on iCloud.com doesn't register the change it will obviously not be propagated.
Repair tip: but only if the "good contact" is on a Mac. Export the contact as a VCF to say desktop (only one works, no multiples). Then drag the "good VCF" onto the Safari/iCloud/Contacts window - slow and careful until you see the + cursor. Drop it there - audit success by watching for "Importing..." in the status bar.
Q1: Is there a way to generate a "differences report", at least pairwise - say Mac Pro vs. iCloud.com? This problem has been happening for at least a month - too long to rely on failing memories as to what changes have been made.
Q2: What about a Contacts report sorted by modification date (mod dates seem to have gone away)?
I've examined all of the Apple iCloud support articles - these are good for initial troubleshooting, but do not apply to this problem.

I am 90% sure I have resolved the cause of these sync errors. It was because our MacBook Pro and Mac Pro both had Address Book/Preferences/General/Default Account set to the local Mac contacts.
I have now changed the Default Account to iCloud. I hope this still works OK when we do not have Internet access (common as we live on our boat in the South Pacific).

BlackBerry Media Sync Failed to connect to your BlackBerry device

I am trying to successfully sync my blackberry bold 9000 with itunes via the BB media sync program. I have successfully installed desktop manager and can sync contacts, email, add applications and can sync via Roxio media manager (painfully though). However when I open BB Media Sync I get an error Msg saying 'Blackberry Media Sync Failed to connect to your blackberry device - Retry or Cancel' It displays the device PIN in the window but still says please conect a blackberry device. I have mass storage mode turned on, media card support, USB drivers installed and have checked the media card is inserted correctly. When I try to find my blackberry in 'My Computer' it does not appear to be there either. What am I doing wrong?? Please help

Judging by all the error messages relating to a Palm device are you also trying to sync a Palm?
If so, try disabling that temporarily to see whether it is that that is causing the problem.

Yahoo Contact Sync when 2 accounts added?

So I just recently added my second yahoo mail account to my iPhone (yeah I have my reasons for two) but when I went to sync it, it said there was an error in yahoo address sync and to try again later.
Could this be because I have two yahoo accounts?
My second account dose not have any addresses on it.
Thanks for any help.
Message was edited by: Stephan S

After spending some time with Chat support, I have found that in order to re-establish a sync with Yahoo! contacts (should it have failed),
1. delete your Yahoo! account (all aspects, messaging, email, calendar, contacts)
2. restart the phone.
3. Open Accounts app
4. Add "Email Account" (do not choose Yahoo!)
5. Choose items that you wish to sync as usual.
For some reason, the Yahoo! setting is giving errors with the contact sync.
Hope this helps

Hi,
I have an iPhone 3G, running iOS 3.1.3
I also have a mobile me account set up.
I'm trying to delete some duplicate contact details from my iPhone. I thought the easiest method would be via my address book after the mobile me technique failed. I have selected to replace my contacts on my iPhone with the address book contacts, synced at least 3 times but it hasn't worked.
Any pointers would be good

and i guess i should mention i bought it at best buy and they ported my phone #'s from my google phone and when i got home i sync'ed it with itunes and it doubled my contacts.

PC Sync fails with USB2/BT2 dongle connection to N...

I have a problem with syncing my N2760 phone.
Its BT connection works fine with the headset but PC Sync, after working sporadically on the first day (it took 6 tries to load my 530 Outlook contacts on to the phone) no longer works at all.
I have 2 BT enabled computers, a Vista Home Premium Sony Laptop using a Bluesoleil USB2/BT2 dongle and an XP Pro workstation using a Broadcom USB2/BT2 dongle with Widcomm software. In both cases the BT stacks are listed as being supported by PC Suite.
On both machines PC Sync runs for a little while then the sync fails with a message suggesting I check the connection. The phone also partially locks up and the screen just displays the battery and BT symbols, the rest is blank. It won't come out of this condition even if I remove the battery and/or simm card. After 15 minutes or so it recovers by itself.
The PC Suite version is 6.85.14.1

I think the information I'm looking for is whether anyone has been able to get reliable performance from PC Sync using a BT dongle. AFAICT there are 3 supported BT stack families, Widcomm, Bluesoleil amd Microsoft. The one I haven't tried is MS - would it be worth my while looking for a dongle that's supported by MS?

E61 Lotus Notes Contacts Sync Corrupted Database

Sometimes the contacts data base on E61 E62 where corrupted during sync with PC Suite, I found a "(" on some phone field on Lotus Notes contacts database, the "(" must be the unique caracter on the field, then the sync fails allways.

Hi,
I don't know what happened, but one of a sudden, on Monday afternoon, everything worked back ok again.
I was about to show to a friend the famous message "cannot retrieve mail's body", but then the mail's body was retrieved from God knows where and it came direct on my pre screen.
5 minutes before it didn't work, 5 minutes later it did work.
I didnot change anything to my profile or pre or my lotus account.
I just don't understand why this worked again.
The only difference I can think of, but I am not 100% sure, is that when I "transfer" a mail to someone else; the message I send is truncated generally just after the list of the mail recipients;
Sorry not to be able to say more than that, but it is weird for me too, how did it come to work?!?

Why is contact sync from iphone or ipad to local iMac address book gone?

An option for syncing contacts from iphone or ipad to iMac seems to be gone. From searching other posts on this topic, I see where contact sync is now "through iCloud" but is this the EXCLUSIVE choice for syncing contacts? In other words, there is no longer any sync of contacts NOT through iCloud; I cannot sync contacts from my iPhone to my iMac without it all being stored in the cloud.
This is absurd. My iCloud was hacked (not a password issue on my iMac or any local trojan/etc there are support threads about this) and tons of spam sent to my contacts when I used to sync through the cloud. I turned off iCloud sync for contacts and opted instead to sync from phone to mac and from iPad to mac and this was working just fine, keeping me nice and updated every day no matter where I modified any contacts.
Now it seems that is no longer possible. Is this by design? Why on earth was this removed? Is it a "feature" of these new products to remove working sync methods and force everything through the cloud??

The ability to sync contacts, calendar and browser bookmarks directly from a Mac running Mavericks to an IOS device via USB or WiFi has indeed been removed. Synching through iCloud, Exchange, WebDAV or a similar cloud service is the only option now. You can comment to Apple in this issue via their feedback page, if you wish:
