Contacts created on iphone not going to lap top when syncing

Contacts are not going from iphone to laptop, either via the cloud or when I sync. I am using .mac instead of .me in my account settings. Will this be the issue ?

You can sync contacts over the air with a MM account, or direct with a supported address book application on your computer via the iTunes sync process. You can do one or the other, not both at the same time. When you are syncing contact info over the air with a MM account, the account information is not touched during the iTunes sync process.
Using your former .Mac address or account does not make any difference.
If a new contact entered on your iPhone, or changes made to a contact on you iPhone is available with your MM online address book when logging into your MM account with a browser, what is your setting for your MM account on your laptop for syncing MM contact info with the supported address book application on your laptop?
Any problems syncing calendar events with the supported calendar app on your laptop?

  • Contacts Created on iPhone not syncing over to Address Book on laptop.

    Contacts created in Address Book on laptop do sync over to iPhone - no problem - but not the other way around. I must retype contacts daily created in the field to laptop. Apple specialist unable to find the problem. Passed on to engineering, end of January. Haven't heard a word.
    It worked fine until I updated 1.1.3. I had many issues after that update and am really leary of 1.1.4 after reading threads here. Have not updated.
    Also drives me crazy having to spin that stupid wheel to find contacts. Come on do designers actually use this thing?
    On the whole I'm happy with the iphone

    I tried erasing all the phone data as you suggested, but to no effect whatsoever (apart from having to setup my email/wifi etc. all over again).
    There's definitely something strange going on with the iPhone -> Mac connection. iPhoto shows the iPhone as being connected, even when it's not, and is still showing 23 pictures, which is what was on the phone before I reset it (they are now gone from the phone). iPhoto also calls it 'Apple iPhone', while I've changed the name to something else.
    Calendar syncing is still functioning flawlessly, but contacts created on the phone are still not being transferred.
    What's more, the contacts I added to the iPhone before I reset all the data were still on the phone afterwards.

  • Contacts created on iPhone not being added to Address Book

    I want to sync all my Address Book contacts to the iPhone, which is working fine, but any contacts created on the iPhone are not copied to Address Book during syncing, which is rubbish.
    In iTunes I currently have 'All contacts' selected for sync. Am I overlooking some iPhone setting somewhere?

  • Contacts created on iPhone not sync with iCloud

    I'm having this problem for a while now. Since my last iPhone.
    Currently I have:
    an iPhone 5, an iPad, a MCB and an iMac.
    All updated with last versions, all using iCloud to sync contacts.
    If I create a new contact on the MCB or on the iMac, it will sync to iCloud and to the iDevices. If edit this contact, or even delete it from the device, it will be deleted from iCloud, MSB and iMac.
    If I create a contact in the iPad, it will work fine if on settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars, the "Default Account" for contacts is set to "iCloud" instead on "On my iPad"
    The problem is: if I create a contact on the iPhone, it will not be synced with iCloud, MCB, iMac or iPad. It will remain only on the iPhone. And on the iPhone, under  settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars there is no "Default Account" for contacts, so I'm assuming it is set to "On my iPhone" by default.
    Does anyone know how to add the option? or how to force the iPhone to create contacts on iCloud instead on the device itself?

    Ensure that indeed you have your iCloud contact sync enabled on your iPhone. If this is true, try forcing the Default Account option to appear under Contacts on your iPhone Settings > Mail, Calendars, Settings. Then follow the instructions from here: iCloud contacts not syncing.
    To force the Default Accont option to appear, simply enable an additional contact sync account such as Exchange or CardDAV

  • Contacts created on iPhone not getting copied to iCloud

    Twice now, I have created a new contact on my iPhone 5s, only to not find it on my MacOS contacts list nor when I log into iCloud.  Oddly, the contact appears on my old iPhone 4S, which is connected to the Internet via WIFI. It has been maybe 15 minutes since I created the contact.  Showed up on the old iPhone immediately, but not yet on my Mac or in iCloud online. 

    One quick update, the contact in question DOES NOT appear on my iPad also running iOS7.  Not sure why the contact was copied just to my old iPhone and not my iPad.

  • Contacts created on iPhone not syncing

    I've noticed that if I create a contact on my iPhone, that content doesn't sync to the other address books. So everything looks fine on my phone: I can see their name in Messages, for instance.
    But when I move to my desktop Mac, I can see only the phone number in Messages, the contact doesn't appear in Contacts, etc. If I go the other way and create on my computer, it's properly synced to the other devices.
    I have multiple mail/contact profiles/accounts (several Gmail accounts, my work account, etc.) on my phone. It's almost like the contacts are getting "assigned" to my work account rather than my main Apple ID account, so they are fine on the phone, but aren't part of the Apple ID sync.. so to spe

    You need to move the contacts to the correct contact group for them to sync. The factory Contacts app does not provide a way to do this; you need a 3rd party app such as Speed Names, which lets you assign contacts to a group and to move contacts between groups.
    You can go to Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendars and scroll down to Contacts. Make sure the default account is iCloud so new contacts will go to a group that syncs.

  • Contacts created on iphone not saving to icloud

    When I create a new contact on my iphone4 it is not saving in the icloud ... therefore not transferring to my PC.  If I create a contact on my PC it is saving in the icloud and transferring to my iphone4.  Any ideas as to why this is happening?

    That must be the issue ... but how do I make sure when adding a new contact on the iphone that I am in the 'icloud' section?  I am looking at the new contact screen on the phone and do not see that as an option.
    thank you so much

  • I reset my macbook, and now I want to sync my iphone with my Mac, my contacts  from the iphone are going to my Macbook?

    I reconfigurate my Macbook and now is almost empty, Now I want to sync my Iphone wwith my Mac, I'm not sure if the contacts from my Iphone are going to My Mac?

    If you no longer have access to the old PC or a backup see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • HT201269 Contacts on my iPhone not showing on my iPad

    Contact on my iPhone not showing on my iPad, how can I sync :)

    Well, you nailed that one, thank you.
    I had 3 accounts checked off: iCloud, Yahoo and "From my Mac."
    When I unchecked my Yahoo contacts from my iPhone, the contacts that were not syncing to my Mac disappeared from my iPhone - so that explains why some of my iPhone created contacts were not syncing with my Mac.
    Thanks again.
    However, this now begs some new questions:
    What is iCloud trying to tell me regarding that message in my account that says I can't review my devices unless I have iOS 8 and/or Yosemite?
    When I am creating a contact, how can I tell if it is being saved in Yahoo or iCloud accounts?
    How can tell what account a contact is associated with by looking at a previously created contact?
    How can I transfer Yahoo contacts to iCloud?
    And when I look at the accounts checked off under 'accounts' on my iPhone Contacts, what the deuce does "From my Mac" mean and imply?
    Everything used to work fine when I first set up my iPhone and my Mac.  What have I done to screw this up?  lol

    It's a good idea to backup your Mac Address Book application and iCal Calendars application from each application. This way you can go back and pull out items if you lose something. I do this everyday.

  • How can I avoid duplicates on contacts and how do I get contacts created on iPhone/ipad synchronized on my mac? so far it doesn't work correctly, just sometimes. same for icalendar

    how can I avoid duplicates on contacts and how do I get contacts created on iPhone/ipad synchronized on my mac? so far it doesn't work correctly, just sometimes. same for icalendar

    On your Mac, for duplicates, switching Contacts off then back on in System Preferences > iCloud may prevent duplicates.
    On the iPhone / iPad tap Settings > iCloud. Make sure Contacts and Calendars are swtiched on.
    Try restarting your Mac and your iOS devices when items won't sync as they should.
    To restart an iOS device:  Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

  • HT204150 Following problem: I have around 600 contacts on my iphone and Ipad and would like to sync with contact list on my mac book air but its not working and whatever I do I get stuck on the 44 contacts I have on my mac  contact-list. Please Help!!!! 

    ollowing problem: I have around 600 contacts on my iphone and Ipad and would like to sync with contact list on my mac book air but its not working and whatever I do I get stuck on the 44 contacts I have on my mac  contact-list. Please Help!!!!  thanks

    First, be sure that the contacts on the devices are in the "icloud" section and not the "On my iPhone" (or iPad) section of the contact listings/groups.
    Missing contacts:
    Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Contacts page.  If most of them are gone, then they are gone. 
    If they show up, then the problem is that your device is not connecting to the Contacts database on icloud. 
    On the device, go to Settings>icloud.  Be sure icloud is on and using the right ID.  If not, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Delete Account - this just disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost.  Then log back in using the correct ID.  ALSO - be sure the Contacts are turned on (on the same screen).
    Note:  Contacts are not part of an iCloud backup, since they are part of contacts database on iCloud's servers.   So performing a restore will not help.
    Contacts are gone from icloud.com.
    Then they have been deleted.  There are many reasons for this.  One possibility is that someone else is using the same iCloud account (family member, etc.) and they deleted contacts, thinking they did want them on THEIR device.  How to get them back?  Unfortunately, an iCloud backup does not include any of the sync databases, like contacts, notes, calendars, reminders, etc. because the data is already stored in these databases.  Your only hope for restoring the data is if you had that data on a computer (like a mac's Contacts, Calendars, etc.) and that data was backed up using whatever backup software you typically use (e.g. Time Machine on a mac).  Just restore the data files back to the computer.  Other than that, I'm afraid the data is gone.

  • Events created on iPhone not syncing to iCal when I bought new Leopard iMac

    that pretty much says it all... i had a powerbook g4 and no problem syncing. bought new iMac with Leopard. just noticed that events created on iPhone not showing up on iCal. Ideas?

    Ok, this will work.
    1. Turn off .Mac Sync in System Preferences.
    2. Open iCal and back up your calendar. File>Back up iCal. +(Just to be safe.)+
    2. In iCal, export all your calendars as file(s). File>Export. +(Note: You can safe these to folders that are in a similar order to the calendar groups that you might have for ease in importing them back in later.)+
    3. Delete all your calendars from iCal. +(Note: You will need to create a new "temp" calendar as iCal requires at least one calendar. *Also, it is very important to save the URL's of the calendars that you subscribe to for later importing.*)+
    4. Import the calendars you just exported. +(Note: First add a new calendar to iCal and use the same name as the calendar that you are importing. All the data from your exported calendar will be added to your new calendar.)+
    5. Open iTunes sync with iPhone, telling iTunes to reload all the info on my iPhone +(pertaining to iCal)+ INFO Tab>Replace information on this iPhone>check Calendar.
    It's a pain and takes a while if you have a number of calendars, but it will work.
    Good luck!

  • Contacts created with Lotus notes are not seen in Exchange 2007 SP3 Rollup 7.

    Contacts created with Lotus notes are not seen in Microsoft  Exchange 2007 SP3 Rollup 7. the same is seen in Microsoft Exchange 2010 without issues.
    when we create a new contact on Microsoft Exchange 2007, the contacts gets created but it is not seen unless we filter the EMC to list the contacts. Microsoft Exchange 2010 does not have any issues. 
    any help or inputs will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sid

    You shouldn't be using the 2007 EMC or cmdlets to create new objects if you have a more recent release installed in your organization. Use the 2010 software.
    If you create the mail-enabled contact with the 2010 EMC or cmdlets do you see it in the 2007 EMC?
    When you say the contact "is not seen unless we filter the EMC to list the contacts", does that mean you don't see the contact when you're looking at the "Recipient configuration" container? Is there a default filter on that container? Do you have a limit
    on the number of objects shown?
    As for the objects created by 3rd-party software (Lotus), are they creating the contacts correctly?
