Contacts are missing in Macbook pro and iCloud address book

Hi, i backup my iPhone to my macbook pro and Icloud . When i looked into contacts, some contacts are missing and its not sync into macbook pro and iCloud also. How to fix this? how to get all contacts to my addressbook in both macbook pro and Icloud?

I had exported an address book backup: abbu
so since i wrote, i have found my way into the cloud: selected all entries - deleted them all from the cloud.
This wiped out contacts on my iphone and i pad, and MBP, as well as on the cloud.  I then imported the abbu back into my now empty address book. 
To repopulate the crowd, i selected all in my address book and created a single card vCard for export to my desktop.  I then dragged that vcard into my empty cloud.  Now my cloud has the same clean contacts as my MBP addressbook.  The cloud then pushed the clean contacts into my empty ipad and iphone contacts. 
I had to go back to Address Book>preferences>Accounts and Add an I cloud account - but if you accidentally create a second i cloud account - all of a sudden your address book will duplicate itself.  I quickly reversed it by deleting one of the icloud accounts in my Address Book>preferences>Accounts. 
I created a new entry on my MBP and it is now on all devices and in cloud
I also created a new entry on my iPhone and it is now in the address book on my MBP.
I feel empowered!!
Have i missed anything??

  • How do i erase a corrupt contact list from iCloud,iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro and restore Address Book backup to all devices and cloud?

    how do i erase a corrupt contact list from iCloud,iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro and restore Address Book backup to all devices and cloud?
    I saved a corrected, most up to date version of my master Address Book Contacts as a back-up on my Mac Book Pro.
    then in an effort to "simplify my life"  i attempted to sync my I phone contacts - ( pre clean-up version) with my clean list on Mac Book Pro, New I pad and newly available icloud. DUH!! Using iTunes to do the sync caused the clean MacBOOK Pro list to be commingled with the dirty iphone contacts. amd now the whole mess is in the cloud. 
    I need to clear out the contaminated lists from all iplaces, and startover with Back-up on my macbook pro. BUT HOW???

  • All my contacts are gone from my iphone and my address book!!

    All of a sudden, I synced my iphone with my imac as usual and all my contacts are gone out of the phone and the address book onmy computer. Help! Thanks

    Do you not maintain a backup of your important data saved to an external hard drive used for backup purposes only or to CD media?
    The Address Book application includes a simple backup database option as does iCal which is simple to restore the entire database from in the event something like this occurs.
    Do you have a .Mac account? If so, you can recover all contacts from your .Mac online address book. If not and you don't have a backup of this data available in some fashion, you are in trouble.

  • New user. Need to know where my email contacts are on my macbook pro and how I can make a group email address

    New user. Email contacts imported to MacBook pro from PC - but I'm unable to call up entire contact list or to make a group emailing contact.

    Assuming you are using Apple's Mail application, contacts are managed via the Contacts application, in your application folder.  As for various addressing methods, including groups, maybe this:

  • Migrated to a Macbook Pro, and iCloud.  Now Mail is a mess

    I recently bought a Macbook Pro and used a time machine back up to migrate everything over to the new Macbook.  Everything is fine apart from mail.  I upgraded to iCloud and just opened Mail, and now all my inbox mails are jumbled.  By jumbled I mean the subject lines don't match any content in the emails. 
    I am not sure what to do really.  Everything else is fine such as my iPad and iPhone but Mail on my Macbook is completely out of whack. 
    Any help appreciated! 
    Thanks. 

    I'll give that a go and see what happens.  I'll report back shortly.
    Okay, worked a treat!  Thanks so much. 

  • Hi, Can i sync both my MacBook Pro and My Mac Book with the same iCloud, iPhone, iPad and all the rest?

    Hi,
    Can i sync my database both on my Macbook Pro and my Macbook? is it possible to work on both computers and share the same iCloud, iPhone, iPad etc?
    thanks

    @Zizooka : Your question is not very clear ... please re-phrase ... and iCloud is the concept where you share your data through ONLY one account on ALL your devices ...

  • How can I have my Data on my iMac, my iPhone 4, my Macbook Pro and iCloud without duplicating in any one of them ?

    I'm really tired of looking to my Address Book and see the same groups and contacts "On My Mac", iCloud and etc... . If I look at my iMac I don't want to see what is on iCloud and vice versa. I don't want to see my iCal also duplicated ... .
    I need my informations to be on my desktop computer at my  office. I need the same informations on my MacBook Pro on a meeting with my clients. I need them on my cel phone or my iPad. I need them on internet (iCloud) if I don't have any Apple device beside me. But I don't need them duplicated in none of them.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Please help, my calendar events are missing from iphone, ipad, and icloud that were there last week

    I use the calendar on my iphone and I pad for my entire life, including work, everything for my boys and all of my hubbys appointments.
    Last Friday was the last time that I inputed appointments into my calendar and everything previous was in there and on my ipad and icloud.
    I went in this morning to check an appointment time for something next week and found that 99% of the events that I had scheduled since the beginning of the year are missing. And they are missing from my iphone, my ipad, my icloud, and no longer in my Yahoo calendar.
    I am drfinately in a panic, i need these ....
    Has anyone had this problem?
    Can anyone tell me how to get them back please

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Check you aren't hiding them.
    i.e. on the phone settings > mail, contacts, calendars > calendars > sync.

  • Macbook Pro and iCloud storage questions/help

    Hi all, Im needing help here as my Macbook Pro has become extremely slow and sluggish, is this because there is too much stored on it? Having iCloud should help take extra room up on the Macbook should it not?
    Just general help and advice regarding these matters would be appreciated.

    iCloud is a syncing facility, not a separate storage one, and any data on iCloud is duplicated on your Mac. You would do better to buy an external hard disk and use it to store bulky data such as media files.

  • Contact sync issues between iphone 4gS and mac address book

    I have a miss match on contacts in my address book and on my iphone.
    My iphone has 70+ more contacts and syncing does not over-ride the contents of my address book.
    I found a link that told me how to clear the address book, dlete contents, cache settings etc etc etc .
    All followed and deleted. Hooked my iphone up and synced with iTunes and same issue, more contacts on my phone than on my mac.
    Any ideas?

    i think the issue is with the address book not the phone.
    my phone has all i want, i cant get it to overide the data/merge or anything on the mac.

  • Merge CardDav and icloud address book

  • How to restore a deleted iCloud backup? I deleted the backup to free up the 5 GB free storage and now on my iPhone some of my Contacts are missing a phone

    How to restore a deleted iCloud storage backup?
    I deleted it all to free up the free 5 GB storage and now on my iPhone 5s some of my Contacts are missing a phone # info and some of the Contacts are missing entirely. Thank you.

    I used this to restore my deleted notes from Time Machine, hope this helps others
    closed Notes,
    turned WiFi off,
    entered finder/go+option/ to 'get to library':  /Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Notes/
    entered TM and selected the 3 files/ hit restore/ keep both (just to make sure, then I deleted the newer file, not the 'restored' file when this worked out)
    opened notes and my deleted notes were back so I copied my notes into pages as a backup,
    turned on WiFi and the notes disappeared!
    replaced my restored notes by copy/pasting my backups into notes/iCloud.... 
    notes/mac would not show across iCloud.... don't remeber this being an issue prior to Mavericks when 'all' notes were selected?
    Apple needs to hear from us so they can fix glitches like this.  TM was created for instances like this, hopefully this is just an oversite.  Pass this along to Apple Feedback/iCloud/bug.  If enough of us flag such issues, hopfully it's addressed on the next update.
    Dear Apple, this should be much easier than it is. We should be able to open Notes, go into Time Machine, and restore anything regardless if it's on my Mac or on the cloud.

  • ICloud, Safari, and Mail on MacBook Pro and iPhone 4

    My MacBook Pro has OSX 10.7.5, iPhone is 4g, and Apple Mail is Ver 5.3.
    Currently, Apple Mail on the MacBook Pro is setup on the iCloud and I have many folders in the Cloud to store email.    The iPhone depicts all mail similarly as the MacBook Pro.  In addition, on Safari, I have a bookmark to iCloud.com.  Have used iCloud.com to send email, edit contacts, and calendar.  Seems to work well.
    Was wondering if one can discontinue using the Apple Mail client on the MacBook Pro and delete all the emails and folders without adversely impacting the mail and folders on iCloud.com?
    I suppose the same question applies to the calendar and contact applications on the MacBook Pro and iPhone.  If so, it appears one can use all three of the applications at iCloud.com without having to use them separately on the MacBook Pro.  Please advise.
    Thanks.

  • How can i transfer my contacts list on a macbook pro to an Ipad air

    I have a contacts list on my Macbook Pro and wish to pass it onto my wife's ipad air (she has her own icloud account which is different from mine) I am running Maverick and there is no longer an option on iTunes to sync by USB.

    You can't sync across accounts, so:
    In Contacts select all the contacts (1 account at a time) and choose File>Export>vCard),
    then on your wifes Air do the reverse, select File>Import.
