How do i get my address book to update iCloud contacts?

i had some groups set up on my Mac Pro address book and they where syced with Icloud and my Iphone.  just a few days ago i noticed that the contacts from A to J in each group are missing.  I corrected this on the Macbook Pro but it did not change on Icloud  or my I phone.
how do i get my changes in my address book to update on Icloud?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
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.

    My iPhone is stolen. How can I get my address book back from the iCloud? I should have synchronized my iPad address book. However, I loss some recent contacts from iPhone.

    I use my iPad to get the address book backed up by iCloud from my iPhone. However, I cannot see the recent new contacts from my iPad. Is there anyway to check the iCloud server to see if my address book backup from my iPhone is still there?

  • How can I get the address book to sort by "Last" name (using v 31.3.0).

    After a computer crash, I had to load Thunderbird (v31.3.0) back into my machine running Windows 8.1, and I successfully imported my address book back up file into Thunderbird (v31.3.0).
    My problem is that I don't see an option to sort the address book by "Last" name, which was available with the version of Thunderbird I had before the crash.
    How can I get the address book to sort by "Last" name?

    In 'Address Book'
    Select address book
    'View' > 'Show name as' > 'Last/First'
    The you can sort by Name.
    Either click on 'Name' column header to change sort order,
    If reversed, then click on 'Name' column header again to reverse the order.
    Or
    'View' > 'Sort By' > choose 'Name' and 'Ascending'

  • I had to revert my PC to factory settings. I have a recovery folder. How do I get my address book and mail folders back?

    I had a serious system problem on my PC and had to restore it to its factory configuration. During the process, I was prompted by Windows to create a recovery folder on an external device. I have mostly recovered from my disaster. I have reinstalled Thunderbird, but it does not see my old email folders or my address book. How can I get them back?

    Do you have a backup of your files from the computer before you reinstalled? Otherwise this won't be possible

  • I upgraded to Snow Leopard and and lost addresses in address book.  When I go to Time Machine it does not refill my addresses.  Also told that Address Book 4.1.2 can not be run?  How do I get my address book back up and running?

    I upgraded to Snow Leopard and lost addresses in Address Book.  I'm told I have 4.1.2 and can't use this version.  I still have my addresses in Time Machine and it will not recover.  How do I update Address Book?

  • How can I get my address book data back?

    After upgrading to OS6, my address book has gone from almost a thousand entries to being totally empty.
    This is a *very* big deal for me bc I have no address book application on my PC.
    I had always assumed that if iTunes were backing up my iPod, that I would be able to restore from those backups, but now I cannot figure out how to tell iTunes to restore from a backup.   I've got a backup... just cannot restore from it.
    There's got to be a way.... and I'm probably looking right at it and not seeing it.

    It has been a very long time since I used 10.1.5 but Address Book data is not stored in a .plist file.
    The Address Book data should be located in an Addresses folder at Home > Library > Addresses.
    Locate this folder and with the Address Book application quit, move it back to the proper location.

  • HOw can I get my address book, in Lion, to import from version 5.0.3?

    I am trying to import my address book from version 5.0.3 to my new Lion, via flash drive.  Lion won't open the file.  How do I upgrade it?

    This would do the trick, thanks.  However, I solved it by making sure that the MacBook that the Address Book was on had Lion, too.  Then, I exported the entries to the Flash Drive and it worked perfectly, seamlessly.  The Lion didn't cost me because I had a few extra installs to use.

  • HT1338 How do you get the address book to show in the mail with the x10.8.3?

    Now that I up graded to 10.8.3 I no longer have an adrees book in my email. Is there anyway to put one back in the mail? I hate the fact that it's not there as when I forwarded a message I preferred to go down my contact list and select different contacts

    Thanks for the reply. After I typed this question I saw an old post for an older operating system that worked for the 10.8.3. After I opened a new mail I went to the customize toolbar and drug the address icon to the new mail. It worked for that email so I thought O.K. let's see if it will work on the next email....it did and is still working.
    I don't know why people at Apple fix something that ain't broke. 
    Thanks again.

  • How do I get my addresses back after an Archive and Install procedure?

    I recently had to archive and install because something was really wrong with my desktop. Now the desktop works fine but how do I get my address book application to open with all my former data in it? The address book application opens but there is NOTHING in it except apple's card and my user card? What I am asking is how to restore all my data after an archive and install procedure. Thank you in advance!

    Yes I archived and installed with the disk that came with my MBP and then reinstalled snow leopard and then did software upgrades....
    you shouldn't have done that. if you wanted to reinstall snow leopard (why btw?) you should have just reinstalled it over the existing snow leopard installation directly. installing an older OS version over the newer one ( like leopard over snow) is not recommended by apple and can lead to problems. it also does not let you preserve users. your old home directory should be located inside the Previous system folder. see this link on how to extract your data from it.

    specifically, for the address book you need to copy the folder homedirectory/library/application support/address book from the archived home directory to the corresponding location on the new one.

    I have a Mac 10.5.8 op system.  My Contacts do not syn with I cloud.  Trying to get my address book complete on both systems and now I have lots of duplicates on I cloud adress book.  How do I efficiently merge the duplictes that are now on I cloud?

    You cannot use iCloud with Leopard 10.5.8. The minimum requirement is Lion 10.7.2. If you have been syncing your contacts with iCloud you can only have been doing it by some sort of unsupported hack, and if it doesn't work it's unlikely to be possible to find an explanation. If you have been using other (compliant) devices by trying to sync using both iTunes and iCloud you are likely to get duplicates.
    A computer old enough running Leopard may well not be upgradeable to Lion or Mountain Lion, but if you can do so this is the only way you are going to be able to make proper use of iCloud.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). (If you are currently pre-Snow Leopard you will have to upgrade to that to access the Mac App Store: it's available in the online Apple Store.)
    You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

    It sounds like you use Quest as your ISP, or whoever you have as your ISP is being taken over by Quest. If this is the case it is possible that your email server is being transitioned to Quest and you will need to change your email address and server settings.
    I am only speculating since I do not have enough information. I suggest calling your ISP or Quest and ask their help desk about this.

  • I am having trouble trying to get my address book from my mac (just downloaded Lion for this purpose) to my 3G ipad. Set up an icloud account but still confused! Please help !

    I updated my mac with  os x Lion so that I could accomplish moving my address book from the mac to my new IPad 3G. I also set up an icloud account for this purpose, but I *still* cannot figure out how to move my address book from one computer to the other. When I'm on my mac and try to use bluetooth to export the address book, I'm able to find my ipad but I soon get a message that it does not support the necessary services. I have no idea what's going on and would appreciate any advice. tks in advance, Sarah

    The address book syncs via iCloud, not Bluetooth or iTunes.
    You upgraded to Lion so you could use iCoud.
    On the computer. go to Apple menu > System prefs > iCloud.
    Sign into your iCloud account.
    Tick everything.
    This enalbes the se items syncing to iCloud.
    On the iPad, Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Create a new iCloud account.
    Sign in with the same AppleID as your computer.
    Settings > iCloud and turn everything on.
    BAM!
    That is all you need to do.
    Your contacts (and all other checked items checked) will sync between computer and iPad.
    No need to use iTunes

  • How do I copy an address book from one user account to another?

    How do I copy an address book from one user account to another?

    You haven't understood me. Follow these steps:
    1. Log in the user where are the files you want to transfer, and open a Finder window.
    2. In Finder, select Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type /Users/Shared. Now you're on Shared folder, so leave that window.
    3. Open a new Finder window without closing the old one, go to the folder with the files you want to transfer, and copy them to Shared folder.
    4. After copying the files to Shared folder, go to  > Log Out, and log in the other user.
    5. Repeat the step 2, and you will get access to the transferred files. Now, you can open them directly from this folder, or you can copy them to a folder on your user folder

    in the iPhoto preferences  change the print products country to the UK and give it a try - there may be some restirctions on billing but it has worked for some people
