Contacts on mac won't sync with iphone

For some reason yesterday my contacts stopped syncing (iPhone 5 and MacBook Pro).  I have phone numbers in my iPhone address book and in my favorites that for some reason just disappeared.  I have looked in my contacts on my MacBook and they are all there.  What the heck is going on?  Can anyone help with this?  Thanks!

don't use the cloud, I've had amazing trouble in the past, it double booked appointments and left some out, so I don't use the cloud
is there another way, can I go back to Mountain Lion, don't want my files in the cloud, privacy for clients etc

  • 1 file in iTunes on Mac won't sync with iPhone 3GS

    I have one big mp3 file (around 100 MB) that's in iTunes 9.2.1 on my Macbook that won't automatically sync with my iPhone 3GS (iOS4.1).
    When I turn 'manage manually' on, I can drag this file to the iPhone and that does work.
    But when I turn 'manage manually' off again, the next sync this file is removed again from my iPhone.
    Any ideas how to solve this? I removed the file from iTunes and reloaded it back in, but no luck.

    Thanks. I checked that already and the weird thing is, that is says 'Music' there, but in list view in iTunes it's ranked under 'Podcast' (in the Artist column). When I imported the file in iTunes, it was correctly categorized under the right artistname (not in 'Podcast'), but after syncing with my iPhone it was suddenly categorized as a podcast.
    Weird...

  • ICal in Mac won't sync with iPhone or iPad

    I just updated to Lion on my MacBook and I am trying to do the wireless/iCloud sync for my appointments in my calendars.  Everything works fine between my iPad and my iPhone but there is nothing happening from my MacBook to my devices.  Appointments put in my MacBook do not show up in my iPhone and appointments put in iPhone don't show up in the Mac, even with a wired sync. Before the update I was doing the regular wired sync and it was working fine, and now nothing.  Is there a setting I am missing?  Yes, I am connected to the internet etc.  I do not use MobileMe or anything else.  This is just a iCloud, iTunes or iCal issue.
    Thanks!

    Maxine,

  • Contacts, calendars, etc won't sync with iPhone v1

    Hi,
    Although I am able to input my data into my iPhone v1 for my MobileMe/iCloud account, I cannot get the contacts, calendars and Safari favorites to sync.
    Emails come in fine, but not the rest.
    Being an first version iPhone, it cannot be updated beyond iOS 3.1.3, but MobileMe sync used to work in the past, so I wonder what's happening.
    Phone has been restored several times, including from scratch (i.e.: Without restoring the backup data), and the MobileMe account has also been deleted and reconfigured several times, to no avail.
    Does anyone have an advice or a workaround?
    Thanks,
    K.

  • My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update

    My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update. The "sync calendars" option is no longer available after I installed this update. Any ideas???I have tried a few times to sync, and nothing has changed on my calendars. I have had so many troubles with this update. Grrr...

    I tried the same but it did not worked. But, i got a solution. I accessed gmail on my laptop. Went to gmail settings. There is a option to add a device. A iPhone was already listed. I clicked Revoke to remove it. Then i clicked add new device and gave it iPhone name and a new 16-20 character password was geenrated. I used it to configure gmail on my Iphone and it worked beautifully. So glad i have been able to fix this. That password is a one time password to authenticate that device.

  • Mac calendar and contacts won't sync with iPhone 5 since upgrading to Mavericks.

    Please,please, help,
    My mac calendar and contacts (and who know what else) won't sync with my iPhone 5 since updating to Mavericks. I have lost new medical appointments on my mac which never synced to my iPhone. I am completely frazzled as I am a very busy mum (who isn't!) and the call centre is closed! A am a bit of a technophobe but have discovered the "info" tab that appears when I connect my iphone to my mac to sync has disappeared with Mavericks. I hope someone out there can help me.

    Yes, you can reinstall your system from the backup you made before installing Mavericks. See this link

  • 2 songs that won't sync with iPhone 4

    I have 2 "songs" in iTunes that won't sync with my iPhone 4. I say "songs" because they are 30-minute treadmill workout songs that I purchased a long time ago when I had a 3rd generation iPod Touch and used the old Nike+ system that required a sensor in my shoe as well as a tracker attached to the iPod. I think it was one of the first issues of the Nike+ system. Anyway, I purchased OK Go's Master the Treadmill and another Treadmill Training compilation. Both albums contained a 30+ minute voice-over track with the songs and guidance for running. Then, the individual songs were included for you to listen to without a guiided workout if you wanted. Since I've had my iPhone 4 (about a year now), I haven't been able to figure out how to get these 30-minute voice-over songs to sync (the individual songs sync fine). They appear in a "Workouts" folder in iTunes - I think that was linked up to Nike+, but I'm not actually sure where that folder came from. They play on iTunes, but no matter what I do, I can't get them to appear on my iPhone. I've tried adding them to a playlist, creating a new playlist, but nothing works. The songs don't show up anywhere on my iPhone. Can anyone help?
    (I'm using iTunes 10.7.0.21 and iOS 6.0.1 on my iPhone 4)

    I'm in the same boat. I have an original iPhone which has been working fine for years. Always updated contacts, always synced with my calendars and contacts. Now my iPhone has done a software update and I'm stuffed.
    I can select the tick boxes to tell it to update contacts and calendars, then when the option to apply is selected it removes the ticks and starts to do a sync without actually updating anything.
    Part way through is comes up with the error that iTunes cannot update because a sync session cannot be started. I've tried a hard reset of the phone, re-installing iTunes, deleting multiple calendars. I've tried everything I've had suggested. Apple won't offer any support when I rang because my phone is old. They'll willing sell me new phone ! ! ! !
    I've trawled through nearly every web and forum I can. I've tried a multitude of so called fixes all to no avail.
    Having been an avid supporter of the iphone/itunes and apple, I am now so pi**ed off with it.
    I've been trying solutions for 3 days ! ! !
    And I STILL have no contacts or calendars on my phone.

  • Playlists won't sync with iPhone

    Playlists created in iTunes 11.3 won't sync with my iPhone 5S running iOS 7.1.2. I am using Mac OS X 10.9.4 and connecting the iPhone via USB.
    Playlists created in the iPhone will sync to iTunes but if I add songs in iTunes, they are not added to the iPhone during sync.
    Any ideas on how to fix the problem?

    Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the syncing troubles?

  • Contacts and Calendar won't sync with Outlook

    It seems that ever since the last upgrade to iTunes (8.1.1) my contacts and calendar won't sync.
    I've tried all the steps in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692 up to and including uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes but, nothing has worked.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    The contacts and calendar do sync into another user account but _only some of the records_.
    ZoneAlarm. And there is no difference whether it is running or not.
    One odd thing:
    In order to try to find which record(s) might be causing the problem I sorted my calendar on the "Date Created" field hoping to be able to go back in history and see exactly when things went wrong. Much to my surprise I found that the 13 most recent records did not sync to my iPhone. Then the next 2 did. Then the next 3 did not. Then 1 did. etc.

  • Moved picture folders around now won't sync with iPhone

    I recently moved around some pictures and now most of my pictures will not sync to my iPhone.
    I have tried deleting the photo cache, moving pictures into a single folder and resetting the sync history, uninstalled iTunes, restored phone, copied all my photos to another location, and each time I get an error that that my iPhone can't be read or written to or the device times out.
    The strangest thing is most of the folders or pictures it doesn't seem to like were pictures that were on the phone previously or were not touched when I moved stuff around.
    I am running Vista and have even tried single folders and that works for some but most error out.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I dowloaded the songs, and now it won't sync with my iphone.  I use icloud for my songs, and I also have imatch.  WHy can't I get these songs on there?
    It is possibly an incompatibility with audio format or sample rate. 
    First, make sure that the songs play in iTunes on your computer.  If so, right-click and choose "create AAC version."  Use the new AAC version with your iPhone.

  • Ical won't sync with iPhone 5, iPad 2 or macbook pro.

    I have updated my devices and now my ical won't sync with iPad 2, macbook pro or iPhone 5.  How can I refresh them so they will all sync together.  I just noticed that when I added an event on my ipad2 it did not show up on my macbook pro.  I turned iCloud off then on again.  I also turned calendars on and off again.  Then the event disappeared from my iPad also.  So now it is only on my iPhone 5.  How do I sync ical with all my devices?

    Anna,
    I have tried everything suggested by the apple support webpage.
    It would be helpful to know if you used this support article: iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar.

    Thanks John, you're a star! it's back to normal, it was hours last night resetting my iphone but no luck. I reset my sync services this morning and it works!
    Why have Apple made it so difficult to do this, why hide things away? I spent ages looking for my library the other day as that was hidden! Mad!
    Much appreciated John,
