Contacts from gmail not syncing to icloud

Hi,
I am using an iphone 6 and having a difficult time trying to sync the contacts to icloud.
Already synced contacts from my gmail to iphone using carddav account information in the contacts settings.
But this contact list is not being synced to icloud (Ony the new contacts i add are being synced)
How do I sync these contacts to icloud?
Thanks

Hey firedude3!
It’s possible that you have iCloud syncing turned on for your calendar, but not turned on for your Contacts. Make sure that the Contact syncing is turned on by following the instructions listed here:
Add contacts - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph14a87326
Besides entering contacts, you can:
Use your iCloud contacts: Go to Settings > iCloud, then turn on Contacts.
If that setting is already turned on, then you will want to use this article as reference for troubleshooting the issue:

How do transfer my contacts from gmail and exchange to icloud?

How do i transfer my contacts from gmail and exchange to iCloud?

No it won't. As far as i know there is no ways to have contacts synced with both Google and iCloud at the same time. Linked card concept is just a means to help you organise cards representing a same identity.
When you make changes to a card, it will push the change to the account that this card is synced.
Hope this help.

Contacts from iphone not syncing to cloud

Hi,
I am able to use iCloud (Very quickly I might add) to sync between my Mac, iPad and iPhone. However, there are some contacts on the iPhone that won't update or sync to either the iPad or Mac. For intance, A.B. Smith's address can be changed from any device and the others will change almost immediately, but John Baker can only be seen on the iPhone.
Why would only some of the contact not sync?
Eagerly,
Andy

anyone?

Why are my contacts from yahoo not syncing correctly?

When I sync my contacts from Yahoo, they corrupt the entries on my iPhone 3GS. Some entries are duplicated, some data within enties are doubled or tripled, and some extra characters are inserted in the entry fields. The contacts won't copy to my iPad 2 at all. Is this an issue with Windows 7, Yahoo, iTunes, or? Is it possible to sync them accurately?

Thanks Meg, this works, at least in part. Now the Contacts app populated, but only with 99 contacts, hardly all of them. Do you know how to get all my Google contacts to sync?
Also, should I delete the Gmail account I had previously set up on the iPad now that I have set up as an Exchange account?

ICloud Contacts on mac not syncing to iCloud

Hello,
I have an issue syncing all my icloud contacts. When I open the "Contacts" app on my mac and click on the filter "All iCloud", it displays numerous contacts. But then when i go and look on icloud.com, it displays only half of them. I first though it just needed some time to sync all of my contacts on the cloud, but after a day, the issue is obviously something else.
On my iPhone, half of the contacts are missing too.
It is not an icloud storage space problem (i have 4.5gb free on 5gb). Contacts synchronisation in iCloud have indeed been activated (on my mac and on my iphone). And the contacts that are missing are contradictorily indeed present in the Contacts mac app and as icloud contacts.
To explain the issue a bit further, it all started when i gave my old iphone to a friend and forgot to unconnect my icloud account on it. She then deleted all of my contacts, calendars and reminders which caused them to be deleted from all of my devices. After asking her to disconnect my account and to sign hers in, i went into my time machine to fetch my previous contacts and calendars. My icloud calendars and reminders are now synched and back in order. But for my icloud contacts, only half of them synched.
Thank you for your help,
Pierrick Allan

I have a Google account linked to my contacts too. But there is no contacts attached to my google account. I do not have any contact on my mac either.
Here's a screenshot that shows the problem well. Notice the contact "Edwin Allan": he's listed in my "all icloud" contacts nevertheless he is not on icloud.com, neither on my iphone.

How to Display All Contacts From Gmail ..?

I hate Blur. There's something there that only shows a subset of my Gmail Contacts. I know on my wife's Ally and my OLD Nexus One I just went in and added the extra "groups" but I don't see that on the X.
How do I get to see all my Gmail contacts?
Update: looks like it's only displaying My Contacts from Gmail, not the groups I have.

So is the only way to get all contacts to sync across (or at least, to appear; they are on the phone, just not displaying - search and you can find them) is to make them all in the My Contacts group in Gmail? That is pretty silly. Isn't there another way?

Since I upgraded to iOS 7.1.2, new Outlook calendar and contact items will not sync to/from my iOS devices - I am not using the iCloud, just sync'ing direct to/from laptop. Does anyone have a solution?

My Calendar and Contacts list is not syncing from desktop even though my icloud is active on my phone

My Calendar and Contacts list is not syncing from desktop even though my icloud is active on my phone

Is iCloud active on your desktop?
Turn it off on both devices then turn it back on on both devices.

Iphone contacts and photos is not syncing to iCloud

iphone contacts and photos is not syncing to iCloud

I also have this problem, just from the iPhone 5s which makes my life crazy, too.
The problem of having multiple devices doesn't seem to help, but the odd part is when everything I am doing is correct, it still doesn't sync like it used to do before iCloud, and when we had to USB wire connect the iPhone to the Laptop to make contacts sync.
Might I add that I am not using MAIL on my LAPTOP?
but ?Britty sounds like her issue is easier as gmail sometimes can create duplicates so you are in good if you are not having that problem or nightmare...
IF ANYONE ELSE can PLEASE ADD to this THREAD? I would be thankful
as there seems to be a TRENDING on iPhone 5s not syncing with other devices or backwards.....(I have added contacts to the iPhone 5s and they never get added to the iCloud or the iPad or the Addressbook or CONTACTS on the LAPTOP....
This should be working and I have checked the CONTACTS on the laptop GROUPS , iCloud, vs ALL ON MY MAC
it just isn't syncing and in some cases I am getting a WEB DAV error or CAL error...-1
what is that? iCloud will not sync all contacts?
something is crazy
but I want to remain at 10.8 MOUNTAIN LION and not upgrade to MAVERICKS......or use MAIL on my LAPTOP...just CONTACTS ONLY......

Syncing contacts from GMAIL to IPHONE

So OF COURSE, like all things tech/software related for me, I've tried everything I've found on how to delete contacts, clean up contacts, sync from Gmail, and I just flat out CAN'T.
Tried this: http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&topic=14252&answer=138740
and of course, the "What would you like to do with existing local contacts on your Iphone" screen does not come up. I already freaking HAVE gmail on this phone, adding it as an MS Exchange account does nothing for me.
Tried mass deleting via itunes info tab>advanced. It simply "syncs" and is finished in 2 seconds. Go into my phone, I STILL HAVE 3800+ CONTACTS. So that didn't work either. SHOCKER.
Tried like 3 apps, looks as if I've succeeded. Go into my phone, 3800+ contacts.
Besides WHY ME? my question is, does iCloud have anything to do with why these freaking things won't go away?
I want to accomplish 1 of these 3 things:
Have ALL my contacts currently in my phone (or on the cloud) replaced with my gmail contacts.
Have ALL my contacts currently in my phone replaced with gmail contacts AND facebook contacts, with all data (phone numbers, bdays, email addresses, ect) related to that person, under ONE contact. I have 2 numbers, and 2 email addresses for Maddie Jackson, why the **** would I want to display that as 4 contacts?!
Delete ALL contacts currently in my phone (or on the cloud), so I have ZERO contacts when I tap the freaking phone button, then export my gmail contacts FROM gmail onto the iPhone. Can someone PLEASE help me?!

Reverse Syncing from Gmail notes to iOS

Hello,
I am using the default notes application on my iPhone 4. I had switched to Android for a month and bought Gnotes in Google play store and created lot of notes and it synced with the same notes in my gmail account as it did before on my iOS5. Recently when i switched back to iOS6 the notes i created on my gmail is not syncing back onto my iPhone.
Although all the new notes i am creating on iPhone are getting synced to my gmail account but older ones are not downloaded on iPhone. Any tips to get it back ? Worst thing, i will write them again on my iPhone.

Thanks man... it did help me mostly. Although i had to manually copy paste from Gmail to iCloud.com and it came on my phone but it didn't sync both the notes from Gmail as well as iCloud so its either Gmail or iCloud. But this is still good and better than manually writing it
Appreciate your help.

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.

ICal not syncing on iCloud from iPhone to MacBook

Recently noticed that new entries on my iCal on iPhone are not syncing on iCloud with the iCal details on my MacBook. No problem the other way (initial entry on MacBook syncing with iPhone) or indeed any other apps / Mail / Contacts etc. Have checked all items are 'on' in systems preferences and have re-booted the iPhone - to no avail.
Any suggestions?

I followed the steps Ticklesneezer suggested (disable 'Calendars' in iCloud, reboot each machine, re-enable 'Calendars' in iCloud, starting with iPhone), and it did not work.
I think it has to do with the fact that I just started syncing my iMac calendar about a month ago. Since then, the following has occurred:
- For iCloud entries: new entries sync fine, but older entries (older than one month) only show up on my iMac, not on my iPhone -- and those are the entries I actually created on my iPhone, so they appear to have been added to the iMac and deleted from the iPhone. I checked to make sure that the older entries are in the iCloud calendar, and they are.
- For Exchange entries (the calendar synced through my Outlook mail account from work): new entries sync fine, but older entries (older than one month) only show up on my iPhone, not on my iMac.
I need to be able to access the older entries from both devices.
Any other suggestions?

HT204150 will merging contacts from a macbook air with iCloud duplicate my contacts? There is no sync option given, only 'merge'!

will merging contacts from a macbook air with iCloud duplicate my contacts? There is no sync option given when I select contacts in my iCloud preferences screen, only 'merge'! Before I do it I'd like to know if I'll create a ton of duplicates. If yes, then how do you link contacts from your macbook with icloud? Thanks

If the same contacts exist in iCloud and on your MBA then there will clearly be duplicates. Export the contacts from the MBA, (On My Mac account) and then delete the content of the On My Mac account, then join iCloud on the MBA.
