Contacts don't match

Hello,
I added a new contact to my contact app on my iPhone. After doing all syncing and back ups, the new contact appears on the iPhone and iPAD, but not on my desktop computer (iMAC) - At my iMac, when I open the contacts app, I get the following list:
iCloud - All iCloud
On My Mac - All On My Mac
Facebook - All Facebook
iCloud - All iCloud
My Gmail Email Address Contacts
Yahoo - All Yahoo
Smart Group - Last Import
I'm not sure where the disconnect is or why the contact shows on my IOS devices, but not on the iMAC? Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi Scott
Did you get this sorted out? I am having the same problem only with phone numbers and SMS. I select a name from the contact directory for an SMS and it appears correctly during the message edit. When I send the message it comes back with a different name, but the SMS has gone to the correct contact.
My environment is:
Master Contacts:               MacBook Pro with Lion (OS X 10.7.2)
Phone:                              iPhone 4S
Synch Via:                        Direct connection via USB
Cloud Services Synch:       None
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

IPod touch and Mac Contacts Don't Match after Sync

I've set iTunes to force an overwrite of my iPod contacts/address book from my MAC. After syncing, the iPod as 49 entries and the iMac has 70+. I've repeated this several times. I'm at a loss as to how to pull in the other addresses. Any ideas? Thanks.

Welcome to the discussions,
did you try to reset the sync history in iSync/settings?

Contacts on Phone Don't Match Contacts on Gmail

My DroidX is set up to sync calendar and contacts every night, but my phone contacts are not going into my gmail account, thus, the contact lists don't match. I "unchecked" and "rechecked" sync to see if it would reset itself, but it did not. When I transferred (or should I say, the Verizon rep transferred) my contacts from my BlackBerry to my Droid, about 25% of the contacts didn't make it. It took me over two hours to compare the contact lists to make sure I had everyone on my new phone. Any ideas?

Thanks. No, I have 10.7 nowadays, have had it for a while. I discovered in Contact preferences that Icould was not activated. Now it is and the contacts are syncing again, although they appear twice, if I have both "on my Mac" and ""ICloud" activated. Any way to avoid this?

I can't change my apple id password because my security answers don't match. It won't give me any other options and just keeps asking for the answers. What do I do?

Data in my iMac address book and iCloud contacts do not match.

The data in my iMac address book and iCloud contacts are different. How can I get my iCloud data to accruately reflect that of my iMac address book? It appears to be an initial synchronization issue. New entries synchronize fine. Appears that initial entries in my Address Book are not showing up in the iCloud Contacts list. Hense, My iPhone coantacts don't match those in my iMac.
Is there a way to clean out my iCloud contacts on reload/re-sychronize it with my iMac Address Book?

Nuts isn't it. This seems to have been an issue snce dAY 1. iT FROSTS ME THAT THERE IS NO SIMPLE QUICK WAY TO UPDATE OR CORRECT the data in both programs simultaneously.. Thats why i decided to just put everytning into the i cloud address brook, and let the one other sit and rot.
then i got smart and said, why don't I delete the outlookaddress book files. and save on confusion.
result - both addresses books and their contents became invisible to outlook.!!!!!! and I can find no way to correct this...to go back to the imperfect world that was.
I did get the outlook contact s back from an archive - but any thing from icloud has become inaccessible from outlook. (fortunately i can get the vcard infformation directly from icloud. but I can't access it from outlook mail.... means no replying, forwarding etc - and a time swallowing nuisance..

Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorisations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Payments and Bills don't match

Hi,
the activation fee for my verizon double play bundle was supposed to be split in three parts. I have made the three respective payments as shown in the payment history.
However, under Bill & Payment, I can only find two bills and the third is still due including the third activation fee payment.
Could you please elaborate why these bills don't match my payment history?

Just a friendly reminder, this is a forum where users help other users. It looks like your issue may require a Verizon representative to review your account details. Please visit our Support page for a variety of ways to contact Verizon, including “Ask Verizon,” our virtual chat agent, and customer support phone numbers.

Geofence locations in "Reminders" don't match address book

If I go into "Reminders" and try set a location-based reminder for Home or Work, the addresses listed aren't the same as the ones in my address book. They're within a mile of me, but never close enough that I reliably enter that location when I'm at home or at work. The post code shown in Reminders is just the first four characters of the post code listed in my address book, and the addresses it gives me do lie within that postcode region.

Sorry all, re my question above, since reading a response, from Winston Churchill, to another question I realise that I have two address lists on my iPhone (iCloud and On My Mac). They match each other and (MacBook)Address Book but don't match the Mail Contacts. Thanks, M

If you can't correctly guess that address, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

Trying to upgrade to Fibre. Postcodes don't match?...

Hi all. Been a loyal BT customer for 14 years now. Started off with dial up, then Broadband. Now our village has gone fibre so i thought i'll order it up and get superfast. Anyway, doing the order through BT's website, i enter all my details, including the telephone number / postcode form fields then when i select to proceed, the order for comes up with "postcode does not match telephone number" and i can't continue.
Anyways, after about half an hour on the phone to them last weekend, i spoke to 2 different departments and explained that my phone bill has the correct postcode (it used to have the postcode for the street down from me) after me telling them around 5 years ago that the postcode was wrong but they saying that the broadband database is clearly not matching the phone line database.
So the call centre agent finally comes back and says she can't put the order for fibre through at her end and give it 5 working days them try order again.
Low and behold, i try yesterday to order again, same thing, postcodes don't match telephone line? then they have the cheek to email me stating that i haven't completed my order.
Another thing is that i registered my interest as to when fibre was available and they confirmed it was, by email, around 2 months ago o i'm assuming it's the postcode that's stopping me ordering.
I'm pretty sure there is data protection issues also as databases aren't supposed to have redundant data in them? under data protection act.
After my last fiasco with me paying double for years i'm just about ready to dump BT if i don't get some sort of solution soon.
Anyone else have any ideas?
regards, Barry

You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to upadte your rescue email address for potential future use

Apparently I have 2 apple IDs. The first is my former email address. I want consolidate them using my current email. I can't remember my old password. I can't do a reset bcz. it sends the link to my former email. Security Qs like d.o.b. don't "match." SoS

Apparently I have 2 apple IDs, but not on purpose. The first is my former email address used for my iPod Touch. When I later purchased an iPad2, I thought I updated my Apple ID using my new email and new married name. Apparently I created a second. I want to consolidate them using my current email, etc. But I can't remember my old password. I can't do a password reset bcz. it sends the link to my former/deactivated email. Security Qs like d.o.b. don't "match." So, when I use my iPod & it requires my password to carry out certain functions, I'm stuck. Please help! Thx

No.
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

Initial Time Machine Backup. Event Store UUIDs Don't Match.

This is an initial backup and 25% (about 100 GBs) of the backup completed in 1 Hour. The remaining 75% (about 300 GBs) is stuck at the same place for 9 hours now.
I'm working on a MBP Mid-2009 15", 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X 10.5.8.
All software is up-to-date.
Backup Drive is a Seagate 2GB (USB), Formatted for Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
No 3rd Party Backup Software or 3rd Party Security installed.
Spotlight has already been re-indexed.
Name of Computer is: MBP 2013
Time Machine Buddy indicates only that the Event Store UUIDs Don't Match. No error messages. Other discussion posts say wait. Any other suggestions? Is there a way to reset the Event Store UUIDs?

Well, I dislike TM myself, never use it due to all it's quirks, & even IF it appears to work, when it comes time to use it/relly on it, you may find more quirks or nearly impossible to use.
If you wish o continue trying TM, I'll certainbly try to help, or even ask for help from others, but...
