Contacts won't sync across 2 iPhones linked to one iCloud account.
I have 2 iPhones linked to one iCloud account. Recently, I have noticed that the new contacts I save on the second iPhone (iPhone 5), do not necessarily appear on the first iPhone (iPhone 4S). How do I ensure that this happens seamlessly? Both phones have iCloud backup enabled.
Hello kkrishna1,
It sounds like you are adding new contacts to phone 1, and they are not appearing in phone 2. I recommend troubleshooting the syncing connection between the phones, and iCloud. Start by checking to see if the contacts are visible at http://www.icloud.com. If so, use the iOS troubleshooting from the following article with phone 2. If not, then try the iOS troubleshooting with phone 1 instead:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

How many devices (e.g. computer and laptop and ipad and iphone) can be linked to one iCloud account?
Thanks.At least 255 separate devices. But if you have a lot of users each with devices of their own, then they should each have separate user accounts, separate Apple IDs, and separate iTunes accounts; this will generally require at least one Apple ID/iCloud account per user.

I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account. I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account. Any help on how I can I do this?
You'll need to create an Apple ID for each device. Use the new Apple ID for FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud on the device. Use the original Apple ID for Settings>iTunes & App Store.

Can I have two Iphones connected to one icloud account and if so, how do I change the icloud user name on the phone
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you can use one iCloud account between multiple devices.
What do you mean 'change the iCloud user name'. -
I ahve 3 Phones that are synced to one Icloud account. However, the contacts have been merged by accident. How do I unmerge it?
Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately you cannot unmerge your data, you will have to separate it manually once you have created and logged into your own iCloud accounts for each user. It is using the same iCloud account that has caused your data to become merged. -

Are you syncing your Mac Address Book contacts over the air with your iCloud account which is selected with your iCloud account settings on your Mac? You need to do that first followed by logging in with your iCloud account via webmail access using a browser to confirm your Mac Address Book contacts are available in your iCloud online address book.

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

Google calender and google contacts won't sync AGA...
I am getting very tired of Nokia now!
Actually I've had it with Nokia!
One last Change,
My wife and I have now received Nokia phones number 4 and 5 from the care center.
I now have a E7-00 with a poorly responsive touchscreen,
my wife now has a N8, wich just again is different than her previous.
I'm still haven't been able to find out whether the touchscreen is broken or...
Namely because I can hardly use the phone, again google calender and google contacts won't sync.
Got it to work last time around, but things (espacialy with Nokia) change.
Can somebody, Please, give me the page with the CORRECT instructrons? for the e7-00 and the N8?
I am very tired of clicking pages wich do not contain the anwsers.
Meanwhile, my friends and colleagues laugh at me, with their smasung's, HTC 's, LG 's, and iPhone's.
Which all sync (nearly) hassle-free with all they want.
HelpHi Gucky66,
Thanks for your post and welcome to the forum.
Please reset and update the phone to fix any software issues you're experiencing on both your E7 and N8.
Connect your phone to Nokia Suite and create a back up via Tools > Back up.
Now disconnect the phone from Nokia Suite and enter *#7370# and default security code 12345 into your phone. Once the phone has rebooted, please reconnect with Nokia Suite and click on the green arrow icon where you will be able to update the phone to it's latest software version. If no update is listed, please reinstall the current software. This option is displayed in blue.
When the updated has completed, please restore the back up via Restore > Back up.
You should now have a fully working phone. If you're still experiencing difficulties with your Email account, please delete the account and reconfigure, you can do this via Menu > Mail > Select the email account > Long press > Delete mailbox.
If the above doesn't work, please contact your local Care line where they will be able to look at your previous repairs and look for a solution.
Please get back to me if you manage to resolve the issue, otherwise I can provide further support.

Need some help: my itunes won't sync with my iphone anymore. Both softwares are up to date and I've reinstalled itunes. After I reinstall, it syncs. But then when I reboot my computer, it no longer syncs anymore and I have to keep reinstalling itunes. Thoughts???
thought that it was possible to have the same iTunes library on any machine that was authorised, a kind of cloud-iTunes I guess.
That would convenient, but sadly it is not the case. Sorry!
Either way your welcome and best of luck!
