How do I sync my iPhone Contacts with my Macbook Contacts?

I know I am supposed to be able to use iCloud to sync the two Contact address books together, however it definitely isnt syncing them.  It's almost like managing two seperate Contacts.  I have iCloud turned on on both.  On my iPhone Contacts is selected.  On my Macbook for some reason it shows my iCloud account twice, but it still doesn't seem to be syncing.  Newer contacts I place on my iPhone do not go on to my Macbook when I sync both devices and vice-versa.  Anyone know a fix for this?  It is a bit tedious to manually enter my contacts multiple times.

Macbook:  Contacts > Preferences > Accounts.  It has iCloud listed twice there. 
It states I can delete the account from the Internet Accounts, however it is only listed there once and when I do delete it and re-add it, it is the same.

    An iCloud email account is an IMAP account. With an IMAP account, all server stored mailboxes are kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account. Unless you have changed the Mailbox Behaviors with the account settings on each device, the account's Drafts, Sent Mailbox, and Deleted Mailbox are stored on the server with each device. Any user created mailboxes are also stored on the server.
    On each device, go to Settings > iCloud. Contacts and Calendars need to be turned on for over the air syncing.
    To have iMessages synced with each device, check this link.

  • HT201270 I want to sync my iPhone 4S with my MacBook Air, seems simple enough...

    I am having trouble syncing my iPhone 4S with my MacBook Air. I thought all I had to do was connect my USB cable to the iPhone and to my lapatop and voila, it wound sync, but I guess not. Any ideas?

    I didn't get any message, that was what surprised me. However I went to turn off my computer and I received a message saying it was syncing and that it would stop if I turned off my computer. I had lauched iTunes, shouldn't I have seen some messge? I thought I would see the iPhone on the desktop too. Thanks for your help.

  • HT4528 How do I sync my iphone 5 with microsoft outlook to load my contacts?

    How do I sync my iphone 5 to enable me to link my microsoft outlook contacts and vice versa?

    In iTunes, once the phone is connected, go to the Info page and where you select contacts, select Outlook as the program you want to sync with. If you have never synced them before and the contacts application on the phone is empty, you will need to put a unique contact on the phone, one that does not exist in Outlook before syncing. It will then generate a dialog box asking if you want to merge or replace. Select merge. You can always delete this contact after the sync.

  • My laptop recently broke and I had to buy a new one. How do I sync my iphone 4 with the new laptop without losing all data?

    Hi there,
    Well the title says it all really.
    I have to sync my iphone 4 with my new laptop as the old one broke. How do I do this without losing all my pictures, music, contacts & things purchased form the itunes store?
    It seems really silly that everything gets wiped off the phone when using a different laptop. This problem must happen quite often as I am sure I am not the only person who has had a pc that has broken.
    I hope you someone can help. All the stuff on my phone is important to me.
    Many thanks
