Droid Maxx, NEW...Contacts will not back up!!

Droid Maxx, NEW...Contacts will not back up to cloud app. nor will it back up to backup assistance. I have tried for two days. Says synced but says there is no contact on device. I have like 400 contacts. WTH??

Bigdr78,
Lets make sure your contacts are safe and sound. Ann154 is correct - they will not back up to both, but the work-around you're thinking of should do the trick!

New contacts will not stay saved

I add a new contact to my phone. It stays saved for a few minutes. When i go back through the messages/ call list where I saved the number (to a name), it only shows the number and the contact is no longer saved in my contact list.

do u have icloud contacts turned on? do u have a computer that you sync your phone too? this happened to me a while ago when icloud was first introduced and i thought was fixed. i had contacts synced on my phone from my mac and then had a contact profile already saved in icloud prior. when i turned icloud on it had a conflict witht he new contact profile that was on my phone and the previous that was saved on the cloud. i had to delete the cloud contact by logging on to the icloud site and removing that contact list and then turning the cloud back on so it matched what was on my phone. i thought that problem was fixed so i am not sure if it will help you but thought i could maybe help

ITunes default computer - new iMac will not back up APP's from iPhone 3GS

Hi all,
I have had an iPhone 3gs since Feb and it sync'd to my Windows laptop fine, but this laptop died recently and I could not deathorise the computer before it did. I now have a brand new iMac and have installed iTunes, it will recognise my iPhone and Sync's calender and contacts but it will not sync my App's from my as it says my iPhone has another default computer, I can see them in iTunes but they are grey'd out. Before my laptop died I restored it to factory settings so even if I could get into it iTunes is not on there anymore - any help appreciated in helping me be able to sync my app's will be appreciated! Thanks, Matt

Iphone will sync itunes content to one and only one computer. When you sync to another it will erase the current itunes content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone to your computer: Without syncing - File>Transfer Purchases

New contacts will not update via cloud on mac

I first sync'ed my contacts from iphone 3GS ios6 onto new mac pro book via the cloud. It worked fine. But if I amend or change the contacts on my phone those changes simply do not seem to appear on the mac contacts list. I have deleted the list off the mac several times and started again but each time once I set the icloud sync option on the mac or iphone, the same old contact list appears and not the new amended list on my iphone. The cloud is working fine for calendar updates but not for contacts.

When I try to update from within an app (Illustrator) the Applicaitons Manager appears differently, and is appearing to work. But, I only have one version of the manager installed--at least searching for another only finds one copy... Confused!

IOS6 Upgrade - Contacts will not save

Ever since upgrading to iOS6 on my iPhone 4S, new contacts will not save to the list; however, when I type in the number their name will appear on the outgoing call. This is very frustrating. Any idea how to get the contact to actually appear in the list?

I have this problem in 10.8.2 on a mbp 2010. Don't know how long I've had the problem but noticed it when I needed to rely on some important information that I had previously added in the Note section of a contact. When I closed the app and relaunched it, the information was no longer there. It doesn't happen all the time so its frustrating and I don't know if I can rely on this app. I don't sync contacts across multiple devices or on the cloud. I just keep things simple and use it locally on my mbp.
Here's a couple of instances that confirms the problem along with a WORKAROUND:
Apple care support - advisor was able to replicate the problem and said he would report it. Kudos to the advisor for this workaround: after you edit a note of a contact, click on another contact, then click in the note area of that contact before you close the application. This seems to work most of the time.
Best Buy - salesperson was able to replicate the problem on a 15" mbp retina osx 10.8.2. The desktops, mbp's and mba's with osx 10.7.x did not seem to have the problem. (Interestingly, when the salesperson repeated this a few times, the Contacts icon disappeared from the dock and he had to go search for it and drag it back to the dock.)

my new phone will not back up all my pics and apps ???? and music

Hello reneep44,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
These two articles explain what iCloud backs up and how to manage the storage.
iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519?viewlocale=en_US
Here’s what iCloud backs up:
Purchase history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksYour iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Some types of content aren’t downloaded automatically in all countries, and previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the store.

My new iphone 6 it will will not back up my photos from iCloud.

Iphone 6 will not back up photos from iCloud. I am running iOS8, I know the photos exist in iCloud from the storage size.
I have tried resetting and following the on line instructions.
It backs up my contacts. A clue might be that it downloads only a couple of phots I took on this device. I made sure to back up from my previous device before setting up the new phone.
Have not tried iTunes yet!

So, your iCloud has 3.3 GB of available storage left.
This device has never backed up to iCloud.
The next (or first) backup of this device will require 13.5 GB.
Therefore, if you want to backup this device to iCloud, you need to purchase more iCloud storage, or you need to remove data from the device, or choose some data to not be backed up.
To upgrade from the free 5GB to 20 GB is $0.99 per month.
200 GB is $3.99 per month.
Choose one of those options under ettings > iCloud > Storage > Buy More Storage.

My iPad will not back up on the cloud or on my PC or on my brand new iMac

IS there any fix for an iPad 2 that will not back up. I have tried the cloud back up and on the pc I originally paired with the iPad. I just bought a new iMac and it will not sync on it even though I went I went through the authorizing process. As a result of not backing up I cannot upgrade to IOS 6

When trying to sync with iMac I got the following: attempting to copy to disk IMacintosh HD failed. Unknown error (oXe8004002)
When trying to back up on the cloud, the back up time bar went to about 3/4 of the way to finishing and stopped. The message said that it could not be backed up.
When I previously tried to download IOS 6 using the PC, I had originally synced with the iPad, it looked like it loaded the IOS6, but crashed during the back up phase.
When I go to iCloud.com, it asked me to set up the devise, but when I go to settings it shows my account number and the list of mail, calendar, etc. that is synced

I had an iPhone 4 and recently upgraded to iphone5 now iCloud will not back up new phone. Under iCloud it shows 2 iPhones and my iPad. Is it trying to write new phone over the old one? What should I do? I a, afraid I might lose everything messing with

I see. If you go to Settings>General>About>Name, that is the current name of your phone. The backup bearing that name should be the more recent one, and therefore the one you want to keep. I would delete the other one (presumably the one set up by Best Buy under your real name, assuming you changed it later), then see if that gives you enough space to back up again.
If it still reporting insufficient storage, use this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4847 to try to determine what's taking up all your room. In them meantime, you can perform a manual backup on your computer so your have a current one while you're troubleshooting this. To do so, connect your phone to iTunes, then right-click on the name of your phone on the left side and select Back Up.

HT4489 My iphone 4s will not back up my contact list to the icloud. Not sure why!! any ideas?

My Iphone 4s will not back up my contract list to the icloud. Not sure why? Any ideas. I have tried everything!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I assume you mean sync, not backup.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

New Time Capsule will not back up my 2009 MacBook Pro. I can see and find my last back before Mavericks but cannot backup.

New Time Capsule will not back up my 2009 MacBook Pro. I can see and find my last back before Mavericks but cannot backup. The TC will not allow me to delete or start a new backup disk. My 2024 MacBook Air did the same yesterday but today it backs up.

Seems to be working now. I left the MacBook on all morning trying to back up and now works.

Revolution-Exchange contacts will not sync

I have an issue where my exchange contacts will not update on my new Revolution. The Activesync is working fine with my mail and my calendar over my exchange account, but the phone will not load my contacts from exchange. I have called online tech support and am working with my work IT group... but so far nothing has worked... any ideas from the group?

as a follow up - PROBLEM SOLVED...
I had to make a backup copy of my contacts... delete them all from my primary exchange contact list... and then I created a test contact which started the sync process to my phone.
I could then add my 600+ contacts back in smaller groups to get them to sync to my phone.
Thanks to my IT department for the suggestion !!!

My brand new PB will not charge when in standby or when on

I played with a number of PB's so far and finally have my own but... My brand new PB will not charge when in standby or when on; as soon as I plug the charger into the USB port it detects it and brings the screen up (if in standby) showing the lighting bolt on the battery but it does not charge; the lighting bolt stays but the % charge does not change (or hopefully increase) at all; it will actually decrease (??); the only way I can charge it is when I attach the charger and the PB is powered off… the PB brings the red (or green can't remember) LED on and starts to flash it on off and charges; tried the hard reset with no change; I am running the latest OS release 1.0.8.6067. Has anyone seen this? Is it h/w or f/w? Any Fix?

Here's a final update on this... the units goes back to its maker or the store sometimes tomorrow... Why? First I tried to understand if this was s/w or h/w related or maybe both before calling support which in the end I did; so I did try a different charger, hard resetting the unit, discharging and recharging etc; nothing helped or fixed the charging in standby; the unit continued to charge only after being turned off and then plugged into the charger. Here's what I learned:
1. Going through the initial setup and OS update it is quite possible for the unit to NOT load the OS image correctly i.e. it appears that it loaded the OS and displays the OS version as if it loaded properly when in fact it did not and the image loaded is corrupt. I found this out during a live session with support when they were looking at my PC screen while the PB was connected to the PC only to point out that the Desktop Manager was showing a s/w update being available (1.0.8 bundle 6067) while the unit was reporting 1.0.0 bundle 0. Strange, I thought I already had 1.0.8.6067... after accepting the update, which takes a bit to load, I started more testing, charging, discharging, hard reset (i.e. Volume Up + Power) etc with no positive results to report. This also proved that the USB port is working, both data (PC to PB communication alright) and power (PB displays the plug over the battery bar when the power contact work)
2. The charger I have works and it is the correct one: P/N PSM09A-050RIM; make sure it is not one of the incorrectly rated chargers some received.
3. In order to reduce the amount of current the unit consumes when on, you have to run the Video Chat app at least once and acknowledge the (c) page; otherwise this remains as a background app that take more CPU cycles on the battery. After doing this I did notice a slight improvement in the sense that PB did charge some instead of discharging. The problem is that it only charged to about 60% and did not move higher no matter how long I waited (yes I did reset just to make sure it is not the s/w acting up and deciding to not update the power bar)
4. The way the RIM RMA works is like this: they start the process for you to return the unit back for repair which I understand may take 10 days; you may get a unit to use for this time if so desired, it will be charged to your CC; your unit may get repaired if possible; if not possible to repair, your new unit will be replaced with a refurbished unit; once you get some unit back you need to send the “10 day replacement unit” to RIM to get your CC charge cleared. I find that this program is good for when you can not return the unit to the place you purchased it from. Otherwise it is not good as I do not like getting a refurb for something I consider brand new (not to mention that you may get a unit with a few bright or dark pixels)
5. Throughout this process I looked at three (3) Playbooks: 2 had bright pixels and were returned immediately; this last one does not charge correctly. No win for me!
6. The battery lasts approx 4 hours with the unit playing a video clip in a loop and WiFi on with a WEB pulled stop watch running as well (had to allow multi tasking in setup/general).
Finally, my theory about this problem is that it is h/w related and that it is caused by the noise the board or the display is making when the unit is either on or in standby; a component not soldered properly (cold joint) or out of spec may be the culprit; for example a resistor in resistor divider monitoring the battery voltage or a decoupling capacitor missing or not soldered...
