ICloud contact not syncing

Why don't my iCloud contacts sync to my Mac? only some are showing the names and others just show the number? my iphone 5s does have this problem. I have already signed out and back in on my Mac nothing....... i have restarted my mac as well and nothing ??? help!....

Bonjour,
J'ai donc commencé par exporter sur mon Mac, en vCard, tous mes contacts depuis l'appli "Contacts", ensuite je suis allé dans Utilisateurs/Bibliothèque/Application Support/AddressBook et j'ai supprimé tout ce qu'il y avait dedans !
J'ai alors re-démarré "Contacts", j'ai initialisé le compte iCloud que je souhaitais revoir dans mes contacts et ces contacts qui étaient sur le Cloud sont revenus dans "Contacts" et également dans le dossier que j'avais vidé précédemment !
Mais ne pas oublier d'exporter sur ton Mac tous tes contacts avant de vider le dossier "AddressBook" pour être certain de ne pas les perdre !
Voilà et j'ai donc retrouvé mes 3450 fiches de contact et Groupes modifiables depuis "Contacts"
Bonne journée.

  • HT204150 iCloud Contacts Not Syncing

    Product - iPhone 6 128GB Space Grey
    iOS - Latest 8.1.3
    My contacts have stopped syncing with my iCloud account. I have done all the usual suggested steps (restored, new setup, computer back up, etc...) and then was provided a replacement phone. The issue persists.
    1. I've got three accounts setup across three Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro 2013), when I update a contact from the MacBook and check iCloud's web interface it fails to update.
    2. My iPhone contacts do not update to iCloud.
    3. My iPad contacts do not update to iCloud.
    We've got an engineering request in - but this is incredibly frustrating. All accounts are set to the iCloud account for the contacts default account. iMessage and Hand-off are working fine.
    Anyone?

    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.

  • ICloud contacts not syncing with my Mac address book

    When I log into iCloud and enter a new contact or edit a contact, the new contact info does not get transferred to my Mac Contacts, and I have the iCloud account enabled in Contact prreferences.
    My wife and I have found similar problems with the Calendar.
    Is there something that I am doing incorrectly or is this just a reliability problem with using iCloud?
    Note: I have been using gmail/Google to manage my mail, contacts, and calendar, and don't have a problem keeping this properly synced with my MBA and iOS devices.
    I am asking the question above, since I thought it would be nice to consolidate contacts and calendar events to one platform, but it needs to be a reliable platform.

    For photo stream, if the source of the photos is an iOS device, be sure the photo app used to take the picture has been turned off, not just sleeping.
    Have you rebooted the computer?  The router?

  • ICloud contacts not syncing to devices. Any hints appreciated?

    The Contacts I'm adding to my Macbook Pro (Mac OS X 10.7.5) are syncing to iCloud, but are not then syncing to my devices. (iPhone 4S & iPad 2)
    I've used the reset documents function in iCloud to no avail.
    I've deleted my iCloud account from the devices and then reopened it. No change.
    I've turned contacts on and off in the devices. No change.
    Any hints or ideas on how to resolve this will be greatly appreciated?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for that. Much appreciated.
    I found that I had put the contacts in the iCloud group, but in checking it led me to investigate what else I'd done in entering the contact.
    The original contact had come from a contact card I'd sent from my work computer, which I'd entered directly onto the Macbook Pro. I've previously done this by importing using my phone or pad, without any problems. I did this again using the phone and it synced across the Pro and the other device. It would seem that sometimes importing using the Macbook Pro affects how it syncs? Who knows.
    Interestingly, if you enter the data manually onto the Macbook Pro you don't have this issue.
    Once again thanks.

    Unfortunately Office for Mac does not support the correct protocols to work with iCloud.

  • Photos and contacts not syncing

    I have selected photo folders checked for syncing, and "sync contacts with windows contacts" checked, but when syncing I do NOT have the photos or windows contacts on the iphone.
    Using an iphone 4 with ios 4.
         

    I also have this problem, just from the iPhone 5s which makes my life crazy, too.
    The problem of having multiple devices doesn't seem to help, but the odd part is when everything I am doing is correct, it still doesn't sync like it used to do before iCloud, and when we had to USB wire connect the iPhone to the Laptop to make contacts sync.
    Might I add that I am not using MAIL on my LAPTOP?
    but ?Britty sounds like her issue is easier as gmail sometimes can create duplicates so you are in good if you are not having that problem or nightmare...
    IF ANYONE ELSE can PLEASE ADD to this THREAD? I would be thankful
    as there seems to be a TRENDING on iPhone 5s not syncing with other devices or backwards.....(I have added contacts to the iPhone 5s and they never get added to the iCloud or the iPad or the Addressbook or CONTACTS on the LAPTOP....
    This should be working and I have checked the CONTACTS on the laptop GROUPS , iCloud, vs ALL ON MY MAC
    it just isn't syncing and in some cases I am getting a WEB DAV error or CAL error...-1
    what is that? iCloud will not sync all contacts?
    something is crazy
    but I want to remain at 10.8 MOUNTAIN LION and not upgrade to MAVERICKS......or use MAIL on my LAPTOP...just CONTACTS ONLY......

  • My iCloud is not syncing with my outlook

    my iCloud is not syncing with my outlook

    How do I upload my Microsoft Outlook to replace the Calendar and Contacts on Icloud?  My computer is Windows 7 and Microsoft Outlook 2007.  Icloud is all messed up and will not let me delete incorrect information.  It keeps saying it cannot delete because of server error.
    My iphone 4 and my computer are correct.  Only Icloud is wrong.  I have had to disable Icloud until I can figure out how to correct it.  If anyone knows what I should do, please let me know.
    Thanks.

  • Icloud calendar not syncing

    I've added appointments to my calendar on iMac and it doesn't sync on iPhone and iPad.  Same with the address book. I will change info on one of my devices and it doesn't change on the others.  I checked in System Preferences under iCloud, both calendar and address book are selected.  Same with devices.
    Any other things I should be doing? Or where can I find more troublehshooting tips. Thanks.

    Contacts not syncing.
    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.

    Calendars not syncing.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • ICloud Drive not syncing photos before 2013 to iPhone 5 -

    My iCloud Drive ios 8, not syncing propenly with Windows 7 laptop. Storage fine on iCloud, but iPhone and iPad 5 only receiving photos back to 2013, photos before 2013, in same Windows  laptop folder, not appearing on phone or pad.

  • ICloud is not syncing photos

    iCloud is not syncing photos from phone to ipad?  When I login to icloud.com there is no Photo folder?? I read somewhere that you must close camera on iphone for photos to sync, have been doing that, but that's not doing it now. 

    Photo stream photos are uploaded when the camera app is closed, the device is connected to wifi and has at least 20% battery life remaining.  Also, only photos added to the camera roll after enabling photo stream are uploaded, not earlier photos.  If those conditions were met and the photos are still not uploading, try turning photo stream off, then back on.  Before turning it off, if you have any photo stream photos on it that are older than 30 days and are no longer in the camera roll, save them to the camera roll or you will lose them.  (Open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward pointing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll.)

  • Contacts not synced - perform a repair installatio...

    Just syncing contacts with Ovi Suite and it comes up with a failure message. Okay fine, but it's telling me to effectively reinstall Ovi Suite to fix it!
    "Contacts not synced - Perform a repair installation of your Nokia Ovi Suite Then sync again. Error code: 83950003"
    Seems it knows there's a specific bug and rather than fix it properly or provide a neat user experience so it's fixed under the hood, they just go for making the user do something they should never need to do.
    E72-1 UK CV 052.005

    I have seen this mostly happening due to Nokia Connectivity cable not working. Please try the steps provided below, might work.
    1. Disconnect your phone from PC if connected.
    2 .Open Control Panel and go to ‘Programs and Features’
    3. From the list of available programs, choose ‘Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver’
    4. Click on the ‘Change’ button on top toolbar.
    5. In the setup dialog box that pops up next, choose ‘Repair’ and select ok. Wait for setup to complete.
    6. Restart the computer if prompted.
    7. Now connect your phone to the PC. Ovi suite (hopefully) should detect your mobile properly now and sync correctly .
    Cheers

  • My iPad and iPhone have the same syncing calendar but my Windows 7 PC with iCloud does not sync/show the same calendar...please help!

    My iPad and iPhone have the same syncing calendar but my Windows 7 PC with iCloud does not sync/show the same calendar...please help!

    iCloud will not sycn a calendar from an external source.  In order to use iCloud to sync it, you would have to move it to iCloud and stop using Google.  I know how to do that on a Mac, but I'm not sure how to do it on a PC.  If you're using Outlook, I suspect you export it as an .ics file to your desktop, then import it to the iCloud account in Outlook.  I'm sure you could use Google to find the specific steps.
    However, there's really no reason not to just use Google to sync your calendar across your devices.  Instead, just continue to use Goole calendar on all your devices and they should stay in sync.  Take a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0Jj0KFgbYI.

  • ICloud calendar not syncing with Mac calendar

    I deleted the default "all calendars" calendar from my iCloud calendar in a browser because it was the only way to solve a bizarre issue where I had 2 sets of every event from an extra calendar that I had subscribed to and then unsubscribed from in Google Calendars.  After I fixed my Google calendar (deleted, re-imported) and re-subscribed to the Google calendar from my Mac calendar everything looks back to normal in my Mac calendar and on all my devices.  HOWEVER...I can't get anything from the Mac calendar (which is getting its data from my Google calendar) to come back and repopulate the iCloud calendar viewed from a browser.
    If I enter a new event in either the iCloud or the Mac calendars it appears in the other calendar within a minute, but all of the events that populated the Mac calendar when I imported my old google calendar to repopulate it have never migrated (unless I manually go to each event and change it from a gmail calendar event to an iCloud event in the Mac calendar). 
    Help!  Any ideas??

    iCloud will not sync your Google calendar.  To get it into iCloud, you have to export it as an .ics file, then import that to an iCloud calendar on your Mac.  See http://www.groovypost.com/howto/osx-lion-import-google-calendars-icloud/.

  • ICloud calendar not syncing with mac

    on my iPhone, when I input an event in my iCloud calender, it doesn't sync to my iCal on my Mac.  (BUT, it does work the other way - if I make an event on my Mac it does show up in that calendar on my phone...) Any help much appreciated.
