ICloud Contacts on mac not syncing to iCloud

Hello,
I have an issue syncing all my icloud contacts. When I open the "Contacts" app on my mac and click on the filter "All iCloud", it displays numerous contacts. But then when i go and look on icloud.com, it displays only half of them. I first though it just needed some time to sync all of my contacts on the cloud, but after a day, the issue is obviously something else.
On my iPhone, half of the contacts are missing too.
It is not an icloud storage space problem (i have 4.5gb free on 5gb). Contacts synchronisation in iCloud have indeed been activated (on my mac and on my iphone). And the contacts that are missing are contradictorily indeed present in the Contacts mac app and as icloud contacts.
To explain the issue a bit further, it all started when i gave my old iphone to a friend and forgot to unconnect my icloud account on it. She then deleted all of my contacts, calendars and reminders which caused them to be deleted from all of my devices. After asking her to disconnect my account and to sign hers in, i went into my time machine to fetch my previous contacts and calendars. My icloud calendars and reminders are now synched and back in order. But for my icloud contacts, only half of them synched.
Thank you for your help,
Pierrick Allan

I have a Google account linked to my contacts too. But there is no contacts attached to my google account. I do not have any contact on my mac either.
Here's a screenshot that shows the problem well. Notice the contact "Edwin Allan": he's listed in my "all icloud" contacts nevertheless he is not on icloud.com, neither on my iphone.

Since I upgraded to iOS 7.1.2, new Outlook calendar and contact items will not sync to/from my iOS devices - I am not using the iCloud, just sync'ing direct to/from laptop. Does anyone have a solution?

Is iCloud active on your desktop?
Turn it off on both devices then turn it back on on both devices.

Address Book Contact Photos will not sync over to iPhone 2G

So here is the deal. I just bought a new 21.5" iMac w/ Snow Leopard. I had a iMac G5 with Leopard previously and rather than using migration assistant, i just copied over the applicable folders and files (per my research) so that my contacts would be present on the new computer. Everything seems fine except the contact photos will not sync over to my iPhone. Has anyone run across this? Help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers

any body?

Simply turn off the iPhone for about 60 seconds, and see if they reappear. If not, I would call Apple Care at 800-676-2775.

I just installed messaging app on Ipad2. Contact names do not sync. Anyone have a solution.

If it's a 3rd party app you may need to go into Settings and give the app permission to view and sync with the contacts. Go to Settings > general > restrictions and choose 'Enable Restrictions.' Then go down to 'Contacts' and make sure that the app you installed is turned off so that it has access to your contacts.

Mac not synced with iCloud (iPad/iphone)

Nothing is synced with the new install of ML. I've updated apps, made sure i'm signed in icloud but i can't seem to get anything to work.
EX: when i click on the cloud icon near the address bar, it just says that it will show open tabs on other iOS devices. i have open windows, but it doesn't work
Also, Pages is fully updated, but when i make a change on my mac, it will not show up on my ipad.
any suggestions? what did i miss?
thanks.

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

Contacts from gmail not syncing to icloud

Hi,
I am using an iphone 6 and having a difficult time trying to sync the contacts to icloud.
Already synced contacts from my gmail to iphone using carddav account information in the contacts settings.
But this contact list is not being synced to icloud (Ony the new contacts i add are being synced)
How do I sync these contacts to icloud?
Thanks

Hey firedude3!
It’s possible that you have iCloud syncing turned on for your calendar, but not turned on for your Contacts. Make sure that the Contact syncing is turned on by following the instructions listed here:
Add contacts - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph14a87326
Besides entering contacts, you can:
Use your iCloud contacts: Go to Settings > iCloud, then turn on Contacts.
If that setting is already turned on, then you will want to use this article as reference for troubleshooting the issue:

How come my notes on outlook for office Mac not syncing to iPad 2

Hi folk,
I am a bit curious as to why when I created notes within outlook 2011 ( office Mac 2011) I don't see them on my iPad device?
On my iPad/cloud services/ notes sync is on
Also under settings/ notes "iCloud" is checked
What am I missing here ?
Thanks in advance...
Rich

First, keep in mind that Notes in Outlook is not the same as the Notes in Mountain Lion (in terms of applications).
Notes in Outlook sync with Exchange. On the iMac, you can sync the Notes app with Exchange, so you will see your Outlook notes in the Mac Notes App (in addition to any iCloud notes you have). To set that up, go to Settings, Mail Contacts Calendars, and select your Exchange account. Check the box next to Notes. Now if you go into the Mac Notes app, you will see you have two Accounts, an iCloud account and your Exchange account, each showing the respective notes.
Now, on the iPad, things are a bit different at present. Here, you can only sync your iCloud notes. Under iOS 5, it is not possible to sync notes from Exchange anymore. Hopefully this will be addressed in iOS 6 coming out this Fall.
One workaround I've used for the omission of syncing Notes from Exchange on the iPad is to instead turn them into Tasks in Outlook. Under ML and Exchange, Reminders syncs with Tasks in Outlook, so you will be able to see those Tasks in the Reminders App on both your iMac/ML and your iPad.

Contacts in "Groups" not syncing correctly on iPhone/iPad

I am using iCloud to keep my Address Book/Contacts synced between my Mac, iPad and iPhone. For the most part, the service works as advertised, i.e. editing, creating, deleting, etc. across all three devices.
However, although all of my 1000+ contacts can be found on all three devices, only Address Book on the Mac displays my contacts in the correct Group, or in any Group for that matter.
For example, my brother's contact card is in a group called "Family" on Address Book on my Mac. Although the group "Family" also appears on the Contacts app on both of my iOS devices, his contact card is not in the group "Family"! However, if I look through "All Contacts" on either iOS device, his contact card is there; it's just not in the "Family" group where it is supposed to be. The bug is not isolated to this single contact; I have dozens of contacts that are not appearing in any group on either iOS device, yet they appear in the correct group on Address Book on my Mac.
Any ideas how I can fix this bug? I guess I should be thankful that the contact is even there, but if I can't count on iCloud to keep my "Groups" correctly synced, it kind of defeats the purpose of "Groups"...

I have a very similar issue across my 3 iCloud synced devices (Mac Pro, MacBook Pro and iPhone 3GS). The contacts themselves are mirrored beautifully across every device, but the groups are syncing erratically.
I have made quite a lot of changes to my groups this afternoon (bith adding/deleting groups and adding/deleting contacts). The changes I have made to the groups themselves show up fine across the three devices, but it is the contacts within them that are a little more ad-hoc! Quite a lot of them show up in the appropriate group on one device, but not on another.
Can anyone shed any light?

Contacts from iphone not syncing to cloud

Hi,
I am able to use iCloud (Very quickly I might add) to sync between my Mac, iPad and iPhone. However, there are some contacts on the iPhone that won't update or sync to either the iPad or Mac. For intance, A.B. Smith's address can be changed from any device and the others will change almost immediately, but John Baker can only be seen on the iPhone.
Why would only some of the contact not sync?
Eagerly,
Andy

anyone?

Dot Mac not Syncing Address Book

Syncing won't replace web version of my address book with that from my desktop. I've done the replace from System Preferences, I've even deleted my web based .Mac contacts and then synced, but the old Address Book appears. How do I get the new contacts into .Mac?

Depending on circumstances, this may be WAD (Working as Designed). All reconciliation is between the BB and your email service...there is no reconciliation between the BB and your PC. See this KB for reference:
KB05133Email reconciliation features for the BlackBerry Internet Service
If your email service is capable of reconciling, from the BB (via BIS), deleted items, then it is a matter between your PC and your email service. You've not said how you are accessing your email from your PC -- webmail, email client (e.g., Outlook, etc.), etc...the answer to that will tell you if you are seeing things as WAD or if things are amiss (since most email clients, Outlook for sure, cannot reconcile items deleted at the server back down to themselves).
Good luck!

My Contacts, Calendars are NOT syncing on a Clean Install of Lion

Does iBooks for Mac not sync with iBooks for iOS?

I just created an iBook in iBooks Author, exporting to a created iBooks file, but yet is all pointless, as I cannot seem to share it with anybody - not even with myself! Trying to get it on my iOS device, I'm frustratingly unable to do so.
I am able to open it on my Mac with iBooks, but that's it... I tried to sync it to my iPhone by old school hardwiring it to my Mac to sync, but can't get my iBook even into iTunes in order to have it sync!
What's the whole point of the thing if you can't share what it is you created with anyone?!

yup, I have the same thing, i can't see Book on itunes, when i upgrade 10.9. How should i do to sync ibook,
Please help, many thanks
