Contacts entered on iphone don't appear on mac

When i enter a new contact on my iPhone 4s ios6 they don't appear in my contacts on my Mac but they appear on my iPhone when i enter them on my Mac

IF you're signed into the same iCloud accoun on Mac/iPhone and it's only syncing "one-way" here's what I'd do.
Probably start with the Mac:
System Preferences->iCloud & Delete the account and everything that is syncing with it from your Mac.
THEN go back into iCloud settings and re-add your account in. That should do it. If it doesn't: push it up a notch and remove the account from BOTH your iPhone & Mac. Then re-add one at a time probably starting with the Mac.

ICal events entered in iPhone don't sync with Mac

I am suddenly having problems with iCal entries made on my iPhone. They do not seem to sync with my Mac's calendar or on Mobile Me Calendar. I have tried syncing and still nothing. I initially had problems when I switched to the Beta version several months ago, got that fixed but now I'm suddenly finding events I entered on my iPhone not appearing on my Mac's calendar and I'm getting duplicates again, too. Very frustrating. I went to the duplicate calendar fix instructions at Apple but that didn't seem to fix my problem; I can live with duplicates. I can't live with missing events.
Any suggestions or references to a fix? Thanks/

I don't know if you have what I've also had, but http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12382141 might help. I have this problem too. It's quite annoying. I have to keep iCal open before it syncs.

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.

Backup then restore the device...
If you've been manually managing the device and your library doesn't contain copies of all your media then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

TS4006 Contacts entered on iPad /iPhone will not appear on Mac but do on each other. Contacts entered on Mac do appear on all three

Contacts entered on iPad and iphone5 will not appear on Mac but do appear on each other. Contacts entered on Mac do appear on iPad and iPhone ?

Hi denctanner,
I did read the post. I was simply explaining that Contacts does not sync with the OTA Sync function, it syncs via iCloud if you want to sync wirelessly....
The OTA Sync option on the Info page has nothing to do with the iCloud syncing of your Contacts....
Try deleting your iCloud account on your iPhone and signing on again. Once you have signed iCloud back on, make sure all the options you want checked are checked, and then try it again. (When you delete it, you will get a message that it will delete your Photo Stream and Document but don't worry, when you sign back on, they will come back).
Cheers,

Contacts entered on iPhone 4S does not sync to iCloud

Using iCloud with an iPhone 4S (version 5.0.1).
When I enter a contact on the iPhone, it will NOT sync to iCloud. However, when I enter a contact on www.icloud.com, it WILL sync to the iPhone. And yes, I am entering the contacts in the correct group on my iPhone.
Calendar entries sync properly in both directions, so it seems to be a Contacts-only issue...
Any thoughts?

I have the same problem with my iPhone 4S and new iPad. I tried both actions:
1) Uncheck SYNC MUSIC, allow the music to be deleted from the device, and re-sync. Did not work.
2) Check Match is off (it actually was off in both my iPhone and Ipad, as well as in iTunes). Nothing.
Anyone with this problem has been able to solve it?
I created a new "Test" playlist but did nt sync with any device.
Thanks.

After last update "new photos" can`t import on the PC, because the iPhone don't appear anymore as a camera or new hardware. can anybody help me?

before in Windows XP an window opened: "import camera assistent" (I don't know it exactely in english because I use the german version) every time I matched my iPhone with the PC and new photos or films are on it. But after the last softeware update in iTunes for the iPhone, no assistent opens. And no iPhone or camera appear as a hardware on the PC...I can't open the folders or copy the photos by myself. For me, it's not logical, why a software update is the reason for "disappearing" the iphome from my PC....
Please help me, there a a lot of nice videos from my baby on the iPhone and I can't save it on the PC or CD or....
Thank you!

Try to revert the steps mentioned in this article to get the camera notification again:

Exchange server issue: contacts entered on phone don't sync

I sync my 3Gs with Outlook via Exchange Server. Calendar entries sync back and forth with no problem.
Problem #1: Recently I noticed that contacts entered on the phone do not seem to move to Outlook. Contacts entered in Outlook move to phone via fetch or push with no problem.
Problem #2: At least one contact that used to be both on the phone & in Outlook has disappeared from Outlook. I am worried this may be a sync related issue.
Would appreciate help. Thanks!

You're welcome.
Are you telling me that it is NOT possible to transfer contacts entered on the iphone to Outlook? If so, that's a major pain. If it IS possible, I would like to know how to do it.
No, that is not what I said.
When syncing contacts over the air with an Exchange account on an iPhone, the contacts are kept synchronized with your Exchange online contacts - those available on the Exchange Server, and Outlook is kept synchronized with the Exchange server. This is no different when syncing calendar events over the air with an Exchange account.
Copied from your earlier post.
I turned off Contact sync. It deleted all Outlook contacts from the phone, but left contacts "native" to the iPhone.
I assume the contacts "native" on the iPhone were manually entered on your iPhone before enabling over the air syncing for contacts with your Exchange account on your iPhone and you were provided this prompt when doing so.
I turned on Contact sync. The phone popped up a dialog box: "What would you like to do with existing local contacts on your iPhone?" Options: Keep on my iPhone. Delete. Cancel.
And you selected "Keep on my iPhone" for these contacts. If so, these contacts that were manually entered on your iPhone before enabling over the air syncing with your Exchange account on your iPhone are stored separately on your iPhone. There is not a merge option when doing so - the options are keep on my iPhone, delete, or cancel. These contacts cannot be merged with the Exchange server and are stored separately on your iPhone. You can view all contacts combined or separately, but you can't merge the two.
If you want these contacts available with your Exchange online address book, you will need to manually enter the contacts with Outlook which is being kept synchronized with the Exchange server, or manually enter the contacts on your iPhone with your Exchange contacts or address book selected.

Contacts entered into iPhone not showing up in outlook

If I enter a new contact in outlook it will show up on my iphone in seconds. If I enter a contact on my iphone it never shows up in outlook. It seems that its doing a one way sync. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

I have been a Nokia Communicator user for several years.
Now using the iPhone 4 I have not found the way to make the iPhone the main base and slave the PC to it when syncronizing contacts and callendar.
Can anyone help?

Apps can't access my photos or contacts. But they don't appear in privacy or restrictions to turn them on.

My apps can't access photos or contacts. They don't appear in the privacy or restrictions settings
so there is no option to turn them on.

Hi Nick:
Welcome to discussions!
Go into your iPhoto library and delete all of the keywords. Then restart your Mac.

Contact entered on iPhone not showing up in Daylite?

I'm using Daylite as my desktop contact management program and have been syncing it with my iPhone pretty well. However, I've added a couple of contacts on my iPhone that are not appearing on my desktop in Daylite. Any ideas why this may happen?

Hi mykguilbault,
If your talking about the Daylite Productivity Suite on Apples download page:

Contacts added in iPhone don not sync into Outlook on PC

Has anyone else had this issue: I have added new contacts into my iPhone and have tried to sync the iPhone with Outlook and the newly added contacts do not show up in Outlook Contacts. Is there a method to force sync of newly added contacts?
Thanks
Robert

Yes, the Sync with Outlook is checked on the info tab. My contacts from Outlook have been synced with my iPhone, it is just these newly added contacts on the iPhone did not sync into Outlook.

New address on IPHONE will not appear on MAC a sync problem from IPHONE to MAC

I am having a sync problem but I don't believe many who are offering answers understand the issue. I write/make/create a 'new' contact on my IPHONE 4 address book. I wait for it to sync over air. Yes, on my MAC and on my IPHONE I have it set up to sync over air. That is what it says on the INFO tab on the IPHONE page of the Itunes when I connect the IPHONE to my MAC.
No, I will not turn off the over air sync, I do not want multiple duplicates of my addresses!
On my IPAD I have no problems, my notes sync, my address book syncs but it does not do it from Iphone to MAC???
