Contacts only partially sync'ed

Hi,
For whatever reason, only about 30 of my 300+ contacts on my iPhone are sync'ed to the iCloud. I've tried turning the contact syncing in iCloud settings on and off but that does not seem to work. I've noticed that all the contacts that actually got sync'ed to the iCloud are the latest ones I created on my phone or my address book. Does anyone else have the same problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Doniel

its the same here as well. i.e: 300 on both Mac and iphone, but only 248 on icloud. it's really frustrating.

  • Facebook contacts only partially syncing.

    I addded my facebook account  in system preferences in hope of syncing my contacs and their birthdays but it seem that OS X is unable to sync all contacts.
    I have on 80 or so contacts of my 400+ friends synced with OS X. Is it a known problem? How can I solve it?

    Ok. Now there are almost 200. I found out that only contacts who have made available their phone numbers appear in my contacts. None of the others appear. That's a bug. Is there somewhere we can report this bug?

  • I made the mistake of resetting my iPod to factory defaults. Now it will only partially sync to my music library. I continually get an error message saying that certain songs are not authorized for my computer. Any ideas?

    I made the mistake of resetting my iPod to factory defaults. Now it will only partially sync to my music library. I continually get an error message saying that certain songs are not authorized for my computer, although they are in the iTunes library on the computer and will play. It's these songs that won't transfer to the iPod. I have deauthorized and re-authorized the computer but no joy. Any ideas?

    Hello there DesertRat71,
    I was thinking that some of the songs in your library may have been purchased under a different apple id. You have already done the first thing I would have done by de authorizing and re authorizing. To verify this, highlight one of the songs that will not sync over and use File>Get Info. Here is the help menu link for it if you need it help://bookmark='https://help.apple.com/itunes/mac/11.0/help/index.html?localePa th=English.lproj#itns2937'
    In the Summary section there will be an Apple ID entry. If it shows something different than what you are currently using then I recommend signing into the Apple ID it shows and authorizing the computer for that one as well.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • "Notes" only partially sync'd

    Hi.  I recently purchased my first Mac - iMac 27" late 2012.  At some point during the setup the Notes from my iPhone 4s got partially sync'd to the iMac.  There didn't seem to be a pattern, some old, some new, but only about 7 or 8 out of several dozen ended up on the iMac.  It looks like a couple of recent Notes are also now on the iMac. 
    As I sit here testing this, I can create a new note on the iPhone and it will sync to the iMac, and vice versa.  This occurs over the wifi or if the iPhone is connected directly. Doesn't matter.
    There are some notes dated on the iPhone many months before I purchased the iMac that are displayed on the iMac, and if I edit one of them on the phone or mac the change is sync'd.
    There are other notes on the iPhone that even if I edit them they don't sync to the iMac.
    iPhone: 7.0.4
    iMac: 10.9.1
    This isn't a big deal, but one of those things that just bugs me becuase it doesn't seem to be working!
    Thanks a lot for the help.

    OK I figured out the category distinction - just a matter of Notes being stored locally on iPhone or on iCloud.  Did a lot of Googling and found a lot of discussion about this, but no straight forward method to transfer Notes stored "On My Phone" to iCloud.  I tried disabling Notes on  both iMac and iPhone and re-enabling, but that doesn't seem to do anything. 
    This isn't a new issue.  I see threads going back several years.
    Any suggestions how to get Notes in "On My iPhone" to iCloud?

  • Audiobooks only partially synced

    I synced my Ipad2 with my Macbook Pro but my audiobooks on iTunes only got partials on many of the audiobooks. I know I can't redownload the audiobooks. And unfortunately I didn't notice this error and have deleted the audiiobooks from my Ipad.  Is there anyway I can recover the lost portions?

    Honestly, nobody around here thinks that this is somehow problematic and that it shows a lack of intelligence or at least ignorance???
    By the way, in the meanwhile I have found several other online stores that provide a great range of audiobooks at the same price (or less) and guess what - they are all able to offer them in consumable segments!
    Well, from now on I will be shopping there and if you want some links just let me know!
    Sorry for disturbing - please keep on weeping for your lost 99 cents or whatever you do in this forum...

  • Contacts only partly syncing

    I have latest Nokia PC Suite, Outlook 2007.  I sync from Outlook to Nokia only.
    If I update the "notes" field of an outlook contact, the change is sync.ed to the Nokia.
    If I update the "e-mail" field of an outlook contact, the change is NOT sync.ed to the Nokia.
    Have neither the time nor inclination to try all the other possible fields but clearly it's not working properly!
    Ideas?
    papadeltasierra.

    OK, I updated the firmware on my phone (simple but it trashed my settings despite me backing up and then restoring them) and things are slightly better.
    The new e-mail addresses are added to the Contacts on the phone, but the old ones are not being removed.
    Also, deleted calendar entries are not being removed from the Calendar on the phone and looking closer it seems that PC Suite has created a new copy of some repeating entries every single time I sync.ed.  How many times do I need to remember my mother's birthday?????
    So better, but far from getting a cigar!

  • Contacts only partially Synching

    So about two days ago I went to make a call via my "favorites" and I noticed all the numbers were still there, but there were no names attached. Now when I go into my contacts I see people's names, but no numbers, emails, or addresses. I've tried resynching, turning the phone and computer off and on, I've even restored my phone and I am still having the same issues. I synch to Outlook 2003 and I did verify that all my contact information is still in outlook. Any thoughts?

    Some times, just doing on reset, sync history or replace all contact info, does not work.
    Try combining both.
    Open itunes with out connecting the iphone.
    Click on edit at the top of itunes and choose preferences.
    When the preferences window opens, click on the syncing tab to the far right.
    Check the box to disable automatic syncing for all ipods and iphones.
    Then click the button to reset sync history.
    Click ok on the preferences window to close it.
    Now connect the iphone.
    When itunes detects the iphone, click on the info tab and go to the bottom advanced section.
    Check the box to replace all contact data on the iphone.
    Now click the apply button on the bottom right of itunes.
    Hope this helps.

  • ICloud only partially syncing

    I have a new Macbook Air, and I've noticed that not everything is syncing.  In Mail, my Sent iCloud messages are not syncing between devices, and messages moved to IMAP folders are not showing up the same way on the Air. 
    Also, only the past couple of months of my Photo Stream have made it to the Air. 

    My son informs me that a listened-to podcast will be removed from your iPod automatically, regardless of the "keep all episodes" setting. Is this true? What about the fact that the podcast was not completely listened to? Is starting it enough to get it deleted?
    Besides, this doesn't match the behavior of some other podcast episodes, which are remaining on the player even though they've been listened to.

  • Podcasts only partially syncing

    Hi, I've searched for this problem but I haven't seen the exact problem that I have. I have an iPod classic, and the latest version of iTunes for Windows. I've subscribed to several podcasts (for years actually, but only recently got the iPod).
    I have 'keep all episodes' and 'only sync checked items'.
    The problem is that some episodes randomly get deleted from the iPod after they've come over there. For example: a podcast has 7 episodes checked on iTunes. I'll be listening to one on the iPod, and then after the next sync it will be gone from the iPod. There might be now 5 episodes on the iPod. In iTunes, it's still there, and there are still 7 episodes checked.
    I've tried unchecking/syncing/checking again/syncing again, and that doesn't help. What am I missing, or is this a bug?

  • IPad only partially syncs with iTunes

    I'm so fed up with dealing with iTunes Support... They are more than useless - it would help if they could actually understand my problem, but they dont seem to have a grasp of the english language, let alone have any ability to assist me with my issue.
    Okay, so here I am, begging for help as this is now the 4th week that my iPad hasnt been functioning!!
    I purchased a couple of TV series on the iPad (along with applications). When I sync the iPad with my iTunes account, the applications migrate over with no issues. However, when I try and sync the TV Series, it tells me they werent bought using the same account as my iTunes account, so wants to erase the programs before syncing with iTunes.
    When the iPad is plugged into iTunes, you can right click on the TV Series stored on the iPad - it clearly states under the 'get info' that the shows were bought with the same account (funny that!)
    Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone have any bright ideas? Apple support clearly doesnt and I'm really starting to get fed up with their imbecilic responses!

  • Yahoo imap inbox only partially syncs inbox on iPad

    I have both an iPad and iPhone. I can go several days without having Internet access. 
    When I do get it I may access my mail on either device.  The  problem is that messages which show
    In the inbox On one device may not show on the other.
    For example my iPhone has all my messages from yesterday but these don't show on my iPad. 
    Messages from today show on both devices.
    I can search the yahoo server for one of yesterday's messages and it is found on my iPad.
    However it doesn't show in my ipad inbox.
    Is there a way to get these messages in my Yahoo inbox? I am unable to contact apple support at this time.
    From my iPad

  • Holidays only partially sync

    This just started.  US Holidays appear on iCloud on the web and are reliably synced to both my iPhone and iPad 2 but not to my iMac.  I tried going to System Preferences>iCloud and unchecking the calendar box, then restarting the machine, then re-checking the calendar box.  All other calendar items sync fine, just not the holidays.  Ideas?

  • Partial sync to iPhone

    Hi,
    The most recent two events in my iPhoto library are only partially syncing to my iPhone. I tried making them into an Album instead but the same thing happens.
    14 out of 82 photos and 3 out of 9 photos have synced, but not the others.
    Older events have a 100% sync.
    There is over 10GB free on the iPhone (32GB), and over 140 GB free on my hard drive.
    I have started iPhoto holding Cmd-Opt and selecting the option to rebuild the file permissions with no joy.
    Or is it an iTunes problem?

    Update: deleting the iPod Photo Cache solved the sync for my iPhone, but iTunes will not sync some events with an iPod Touch.
    Should I try to restore the Touch?

  • HT4910 Feeling a bit frustrated that my contacts, mail, notes & calendar do not appear to be either backing up at all or only partially to iCloud when that was the purpose for using it to begin with. Anyone have suggestions or instructions how to get this

    Feeling a bit frustrated with iCloud as it has either not backed up my contacts, mail, notes, & calendar on my phone or only partially. How helpful is that?? It has already resulted in "losing" data for me in my calendar & contacts since I've owned it at the beginning of this year. Would really appreciate any instructions or suggestions others have used successfully to "fix" this problem. Thanks so much in advance for your time & information!

    Apple used to strive for smarter solutions but that has changed.
    After "upgrading" to Mavericks you can no longer sync device to device with USB or WiFi.
    This is so stupid! First, when you travel there are long periods of no WiFi or 3G/4G. Second, cloud-based services are still pretty worthless because it's slow. Third, cloud-based services are still pretty worthless because of low security. Fourth, cloud-based services are still pretty worthless because of low capacity (I have a calendar from my first Newton of 1996 and iCloud can't handle the amount of data).
    Why would you prohibit safe and fast syncing via USB??? It's just plain stupid!
    Do NOT upgrade to Mavericks if you want to keep your safe and fast sync for Calendars and Contacts.

  • HT204150 im not sure why only a few of my contacts have been synced and not everyone? How do i sync all contacts from my iphone to my ipad? I have synced my phone with Itunes on my laptop.

    im not sure why only a few of my contacts have been synced and not everyone? How do i sync all contacts from my iphone to my ipad? I have synced my phone with Itunes on my laptop.

    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.
