ICloud won't sync to my iPhone

Hi! I've migrated to iCloud and all my devices except my iPhone synced my contacts. I can see my contacts correctly on iCloud.com, on my 3 other Macs' address books. But none of my contacts shown on the iPhone contacts. I've enabled iCloud contacts sync on my iPhone, chosen delete all off the phone now it doesn't populate my contacts from iCloud. I've tried re-disabling and re-enabling again and again. It says activating contacts but its been two days and nothing happening. Is there any way?

Ok, i may have found a temporary solution. This may (virtually, not really) tie all multiple iCloud accounts together to merge all data on macs and cloud.
In my case i have two Apple IDs, one old (to purchase apps and music) and one new (mobile me), both registered valid to iCloud. I made them both have same contact, calendar and vice versa data manually. Then wiped my iPhone clean, first synced with my old Apple ID. All contact data filled in. then erased account from iCloud settings on the iPhone, chosen to leave all data on the phone intact, not to erase them. Then set up my mobile me account and chosen to merge all data on the iPhone with .me accont. It doesn't caused any problems like multiple contacts or anything.
Then to test this when all my contact apps on all devices were open (iphone, icloud and apple address book on the mac) i added edited some info on iCloud.com contacts. They all immediately synced to all devices . Now it seems working ok. This is my temporary unofficial solution. I hope it works for all of you.
PS: Because i DO NOT trust the process, in the beginning i backed up my mac address book to a file to use in any case of emergency.

  • I upgraded to 10.7.4, to upgrade to iCloud. And ever since the upgrade to iCloud, my iCal, Address book, etc. won't sync to my iPhone.

    I upgraded to 10.7.4, to upgrade to iCloud. And ever since the upgrade to iCloud, my iCal, Address book, etc. won't sync to my iPhone. My iMAC does sync with my MacBook Pro but not to my iPhone. What do I do? And though my iMac sync to my MacBook Pro, there is a little problem. My iCal shows let's say 9 AM in my iMAC, it shows 8 AM in the MacBook Pro. The scheduling in the iCAL is a bet of a mess eer since of the upgrade.
    PLEASE HELP ME SOMEBODY PLEASE!!!

    To sync to your iPhone, you need to check iCloud requirements to be sure your iPhone is compatible with iCloud and your iPhone software is up to date.
    You also need to make sure iCloud is enabled on the iPhone.
    And you need to make sure the iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi in order to sync.
    For the time difference, be sure the time settings on each device is the same with time zone and daylight saving time the same setting on each.

  • HT4858 Photostream/iCloud won't sync with PC.

    Photostream/iCloud won't sync with PC. Everything is turned on, works for iPhone and iPad just not PC. Do not want to wipe phone to fix what should be a simple (and paid for) thing. Used to work fine but hasn't in a couple of months, even though no settings were changed. Please help

    I have the same issue. My photos stopped on Nov.9th.
    I just deleted and reinstalled version 3.1 and it took 90 pictures from my Photostream and transfered them to my PC
    Thing is that I have 318 pics in my Photostream. The synching works fine between my iPhone 5S, iPad2, iPhone 3G and iPhone 5.
    My wife is getting a iPad Air for Xmas so no idea of how it will work then but I assume it will be no problem.
    I have Windows 7 and so does my mom on her laptop and PC which I also connected so I don't have to send her pics but she can just check. I had to update both machines to 3.1 and they only grabbed 85 pictures.
    This is quite annoying when you live 500 kilometers apart and all worked fine until the latest updates.
    Please Apple fix this asap as it's a lifeline for families all over the world

  • Icloud won't sync with my iMac 2013

    Hi everybody
    Maybe someone can help me out with the following issue. I bought me an Imac 27'' one month ago to replace my macbook pro which had become to small concerning the screen. I used the migration assistant to copy all of my data to my new Imac and everything went smooth except for my contacts. Icloud won't sync any addresses into the contact application and neither can I use a backup file to get my contacts into the application. Everything else works just fine with Icloud. I already tried to deactivate Icloud and reactivate it, but none did work. I thought that the update to 10.8.3 might help...but no it didn't. So here I am hoping that maybe someone out there might help me with this I'm sure tiny issue.
    Greetings from Luxembourg and thanks in advance for your help.

    Need some help: my itunes won't sync with my iphone anymore. Both softwares are up to date and I've reinstalled itunes. After I reinstall, it syncs. But then when I reboot my computer, it no longer syncs anymore and I have to keep reinstalling itunes. Thoughts???

    thought that it was possible to have the same iTunes library on any machine that was authorised, a kind of cloud-iTunes I guess. 
    That would convenient, but sadly it is not the case. Sorry!
    Either way your welcome and best of luck!

  • Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

    Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

    I think I may be having the same issue In a round about kind of way.  Just got an iPhone4S ... everything worked great until today when I started tinkering with the settings in my new phone and noticed my cloud was getting full and I had two iPhone back ups on there at 4GB a piece.  So.... I deleted the old back up of the iPhone4 and after that is when I started noticing issues.  The cloud on my phone can no longer authenticate itself , unable to tell me when the last back up was, and will not perform a back up at all. Furthermore I am unable to download apps or updates on my iphone4S, they all sit in "waiting" status....
    I also must say that I purchased an iPad 2 and still have my original ipad in the house and active.  Both back ups are in the cloud and both devices work fine independently and can download apps and back up fine as well. I'm pretty sure this may be the culprit concerning this issue and I too have no idea how to fix it. Please Help!!!

  • Swingreader for baseball won't sync with my iPhone? Any ideas?

    Swingreader for baseball won't sync with my iPhone? Any ideas?

    2 things MT, I had same problem... Go to the Apps section and make sure you are downloading the right version of SwingReader b cuz there are 2 or 3 and one says 2010 and another (w same Name) says 2012-
    Two, make sure your software for your i Phone/Pad is up to Date - 5.1 etc as I had the fun of missing on both fronts and it wouldn't load... then it would load but not work... Now all is working.  Hope this helps.
