HT204150 Contacts syncing with my phone

I have all my contacts on my iphone 5s, but they are not syncing with icloud. How do I get them to sync back to icloud. I originally populated my phone contacts through my google account.

Just set up your iCloud account on your phone (Settings > iCloud) and then choose the option to merge contacts with iCloud.

I have my contacts synced with icloud and exchange. I want all of them to be synced via icloud, I have tried turning contacts off and then clicking merge but that doesn't copy all of them over. How do I transfer all contacts onto my phone and then icloud?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you can't do this on a computer, which would be much easier using drag and drop, then you will need to share the contacts with yourself in order to move them to the iCloud account.

How do I stop my contacts syncing with Outlook 2011?

Hi - I have been using Outlook 2011 but I want to stop using it because it's really buggy. I have opened sync services in Outlook and unchecked all, but how do I make my contacts sync with Address book again? At present they will not

What is syncing between them ? If calendars, contacts, safari favourites then are you using the same iCloud account on both devices and have them enabled in Settings > iCloud on both ?
If apps, music, and/or ibooks that you buy on one device are automatically downloading on the other device then do you have automatic downloads enabled for them in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone/iPad ?

Why won't contacts sync with iphone

I'm loosing the will to live and I've spent hours trawling through the huge amount of fixes suggested on various sites but to no avail. I run a macbook pro, OSX10.6.8, Itunes 10.4 and the software on the iphone was updated today. Syncing with iTunes worked fine up until about 3 weeks ago - I don't know what happend but it just stopped. If I delete all the contacts in the mac address book (310) and run a sync nothing changes on the 472 iphone contacts. All the settings appear to be correct in the preferences. If I check the box to stop syncing contacts and delete all 472 contacts on the phone - they all dissapear. When I reset the sync contacts check box and check the "replace all the contacts on this phone during the next sync" box I get all 472 back again. Can anybody offer any help at all please before I slash my wrists!!

Clearly it doesn't work as I imagine! But I still don't understand what you mean. I'm not saying that I don't like Google's instructions,- what makes you say that? I'm saying that I think I've already followed them to the letter. How have I not? What else, exactly, do I need to do? Talk me through an example, please.
"You have added a data conduit between Google and your phone. But you have not put anything IN that conduit, save the data Google already has."
What I want to put into it is the contact data aleady on my phone (and in icloud). Google's instruction seems to say that to put something in the conduit, I just have to open Contacts on the iphone. Clearly that's not correct. So what do I do?
Here's what I'm refering to in Goolge's instructions:
"If you're using iOS 5 or iOS 6, follow these steps to set up contact syncing with Google Contacts:
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account... > Other > Add CardDAV Account.
Enter the following information in the fields:
Server: google.com
User Name: your full Google email address
Password: your Google account password
Tap Next at the top of the screen to complete the setup.
After you have completed the setup, open the Contacts app on your device. Syncing should begin automatically."
The last sentence seems to me to mean that opening Contacts will "put someting in the conduit".

Why is syncing with Motorola phones so BAD?

By now I would have thought the leader in mobile phones (Motorola) and Apple would have their act together, especially since they share technology putting iTunes in the ROKR and SLVR and RAZR.
I just bought a new SLVR and the syncing is as bad as it was with my black RAZR:
1. every phone number in Address Book gets a new contact in the phone, with an ugly -1, -2, etc. appended for multiple numbers belonging to 1 name
2. Address Book photos don't sync
3. iCal recurring appointments don't sync right-- they go to the phone, then on the next sync iSync thinks their new and adds them AGAIN to iCal in a messed up "detached" fashion (no longer recurring)
3. Address Book companies are listed only by the person's name in that company (if one exists) when it should be listed by Company Name, or better yet, changeable as a preference
4. company names have dashes in them instead of spaces
5. Motorola apparently doesn't believe in middle names, prefixes, or suffixes in a name
I mean, come on. What does it take to program text fields properly? This is 2006. All new phones should be good enough to use as simple PDAs at this point, ESPECIALLY a new $400 phone from Motorola, an Apple partner. The **** thing comes with a 512MB memory card!!! Yet they still can't store a decent contact.

1. Motorola Address Book model is based on phone numbers and not on contacts. One entry IS a phone number...
2. Motorola phones DON'T SUPPORT REAL SYNC AT ALL... So every time iSync has to sync with the phone, it has to download all the contents of phone's Address Book and Calendar, compare it to what it "should be" (without forgetting that datas on the phone are a degraded version of Mac's data since Mac has a much much richer model for Address Book and Calendar). This explains, for example, why syncs with Motorola are much slower than with other phones and why iSync has to handle much problems and edge cases.
3. Communication protocol provided by Motorola phones to access Address Book and Calendar is based on AT commands which is very (very) limited... many attributes (like contact pictures) can't be accessed or modified this way.
All in all... any minor iSync bug might have bigger consequences with Motorola phones.

Contacts sync with the wrong e-mail address

i added an e-mail address to my blackberry storm 9350, and now all of the contacts are syncing with that e-mail address - not the one that I want! Anyone else having this problem, and if so, how to fix it? I've gone through my phone over and over and haven't figured out a way to select which e-mail address my contacts sync with....

I have the same problem as the emails go to my iCloud account that I cannot access!!! I cannot answer the security questions as someone else must have set up my iCloud account. Nothing seems to work. It would be great if someone has some ideas as what can be done to recover the situation?

My iPhone has two identical options under "iTunes wi-fi sync" that are the same computer. I only have one user on my computer, and I tried moving my iTunes file in Finder to organize it and now my library's not synced with my phone. Help?

My iPhone has two identical options under "iTunes wi-fi sync" that are the same computer. I only have one user on my computer, and I tried moving my iTunes file in Finder to organize it and now my library's not synced with my phone. Help?

I have the same problem. Right now my iPhone 5S shows 3 instances of the computer to which it is connected under Settings » General » iTunes WiFi Sync. I'm having problems connecting and syncing, and this is probably the cause: the phone chooses one of these connections, and it isn't the one that's actually in use. What's probably happening is that the phone and computer establish a connection using a dynamic IP address, the address becomes "disassociated" due to error, another address is associated, the phone retains each address/link, and each link is displayed as if it represents a separate computer (the fact that the name of the computer is identical is ignored, as the only thing that is considered important is the IP address). But that's all conjecture. More important, I'm not sure how to fix the problem. A network reset doesn't do it.

TS3682 i had a iPhone 4 and then got a new computer, i installed iTunes but i couldnt sync with my iTunes it didnt see the iPhone, i got a new iPhone 5C and up dated it via iCloud and still my computer will no sync with the phone, again it fails to see it

Hi
I had a iPhone 4 and then got a new computer, I installed iTunes to it but my new computer refused to sync with my phone, i backed up my phone via icloud and purchased tracks etc from iTunes, but now i have a new iPhone 5C and I backed it up via the icloud, not all data was transfered, music etc.
Again my computer will not sync with the new phone, it doesnt see the phone within my libary, doesn't give an option to do any thing with phone
Can so one please let me know were Kim going wrong, I have authorized my computer to itunes I really don't know what to do now?

Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.
To save the photographs you may have to use third party software. Google is your friend.

Home share got nothing to do with sync. Figure out which one you want off and come back.

Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
Thanks

Try to force your phone into recovery mode. Disconnect it from the computer's USB cord. Turn it off if you can by holding the sleep/wake switch until you see the red slide to off. If you can't turn it off, please continue. Press and hold the home button while plugging it into the computer's USB cord. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Then you can restore your phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

HT1296 I'm having difficulty syncing my iCal between my home computer and iPhone. New entries from my home are not syncing with the phone and vice-versa. I didn't have any problems with this before until the latest phone update. Any suggestions?

It could be that the existing wire in your appartment is not clean enough to provision DSL only. When combined with the phone possibly it has a higher line voltage and worked before. Now that the line is to be provisioned without phone service it may be giving them trouble that did not show before they came out and ran the new line test. So a new jack dedecated for your DSL line may require a new wire be run to your appartment. Also the account for internet only used to require direct billing to a credit card or something else. This was a number of years ago. Most accounts are linked to a phone number, and without a voice number it adds to the confusion.
If you are getting the voice and everything turned on as before, then I am at a loss for words.
