IPad can't sync contacts with iCloud

I need some help....  I have an iMac running Mtn Lion (10.8.2) and an iPad3 (6.0.1) and I'm trying to sync the two in iCloud.  Contacts are giving me a headache.  I've got the contacts into iCloud so I went to iTunes, clicked on the iPad and went to "info".  Thought everything was OK but no contacts (actually there are a couple) on the IPad.  Went back to iTunes and clicked on the iPad. went to "info" and now there is no box to check next to "Sync Contacts" and the message in the box says  "Your contacts are being synced with you iPad over the air from iCloud" and "Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on your iPad."  My contacts are syncing (iPad) with iCloud and I can't figure out to get the check box back so I can choose to sync my contacts.  I know there are other threads out there with similar questions but I couldn't find anything that helped me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Correction....my iPad contacts are NOT syncing with iCloud

  • Can't sync contacts with icloud

    I have new iPad mini.  Reminders, notes and calendar are all synching.  iMac set also to synch contacts, and all are displayed on icloud group when i click on contacts, icloud.  But none display on iPad mini even though I have it turned on in the iPad mini iCloud settings.  I have tried turning that setting on and off and waiting.  I have tried putting iPad mini to sleep and resuming.  can't seem to get it.

    never mind.  removed and repeated set-up of contacts from iMac to iCloud and it all synched to ipad.

  • Can't sync contacts with Blackberry phone after migration to iCloud

    Can't sync contacts with Blackberry phone after migration to iCloud. The only way to do is to have a local copy of address book. What else can I do (before BB will fix the bug)?

    Ah! This explains why I have been tearing my hair out for the past 24 hours trying to get my contacts from Address Book to my new BB Torch!
    I found a workaround for a one-time sync:
    1. go into Address Book prefs and temporarily change Default account from iCloud to On My Mac (this makes the "All on My Mac" category visible)
    2. Go back into your contacts window, select all of your contacts, and copy them to All on My Mac (this will create duplicates of everything)
    3. Sync the BB.
    3. Return to prefs to change default account back to iCloud, and select all the contacts in All on My Mac and delete them, thereby removing all duplicates.
    This solution only works for a one-time sync and needs to be repeated for future syncs.
    Let's hope BB comes up with an iCloud compatible update ASAP!

  • HT204150 how can i sync contacts from icloud to my iphone from pc

    how can i sync contacts from icloud to my iphone from pc

    I just went to icloud-contacts- OFF.  It asks if I want to keep my contacts on the phone and I said yes.
    Thanks so much.  Saved me a ton of time.
    One thing I noticed though is for my name, it used to have an image of a person.  That is gone now on my phone but on my computer.  Is that only in iCloud?

  • Can't merge contacts with iCloud

    I've updated my iPhone to iOS5 recently and everything's fine except for my contacts.
    Once I open one of my contacts, it  closes automatically and won't allow me to call anyone.
    I've tried syncing my contacts with iCloud but once i switch to 'ON' and press 'MERGE', it closes again and goes back to the homepage.
    I checked the iCloud settings again and  it's still 'OFF', I can't seem to turn it on as it keeps  closing the app.
    Can anyone please help me?

    Hi there - it's me again - found a solution which involved a totally clean restore as a new iPhone.
    Do NOT USE an existing BACK-UP to restore or YOU'LL END UP WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS.
    When asked to sign on to iCloud ----DECLINE ---- then put your stuff back on piece by piece. After all that's done you can switch Contacts on in iCloud and Roberts your Auntie's husband.
    Once all done back it up a few times to overwrite old existing back-ups.
    Best of luck

  • Can't sync contacts with my iphone using icloud?

    I have tried to sync my contacts on my iPhone and iMac and will only go one way.  From the iMac to the iPhone through iCloud.  When adding new contact to the phone it won't appear on the iMac contacts.  I have 696 contacts on the iMac and and 750 on the iPhone.  Any ideas?

    Ok.   If you want the 696 contacts currently in iCloud to be the master list and have them replace the contacts on your phone, do the following:
    On your phone, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts off and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted.
    Download the app My Contacts Backup to your phone.  Open the app, tap the gear icon on the lower right, and in the window that opens, scroll to the bottom and tap Remove All Contacts.  (If you want to back them up first, you can use the app the back up the contacts on your phone as a vCard attachement to an email that you send to youself, which can later be used to restore them if necessary.)  Confirm that all contacts are now deleted from your phone.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts on again.  Confirm that the 696 contact from iCloud are now on your phone.
    Add a test contact on your phone and confirm that it appears on icloud.com and your Mac now.  If so, you should be all set.

  • IOS 6.1.2 updated- tried to Sync contacts with iCloud- All contacts gone

    Help. I just updated the IOS to latest: 6.1.2 then decided to backup contacts on iCloud. When 'Merged' all contacts from phone are gone. Then I went on iCloud and the contact list there was also EMPTY. Strange enough the calendar and Notes backup were all there, but NOT contacts. I tried turning off the iCloud, etc- but can not get my contact list back--- HELP. Is this a clitch with the new IOS??

    Thanks for your response, I'm a little confused though...
    My iCloud account is set up in settings.  If the iCloud backup doesn't backup my contacts why is there an option to turn contacts on or off in the iCloud account?  And how are they "only synced if you had your icloud account in the mail/contact settings" if icloud doesnt backup contacts?  I don't think I understand that part of your response.

    Why are you running Mobile Me? calendars and contacts are no longer available there, your Hotmail address may be OK for an Apple ID but wion't work for email in iCloud,
    Outlook is dreadful anyhow, use emClient for iCloud.

  • Can't sync contacts with Verizon Motorola V3m

    I had been able to sync with this phone before and on this same computer (MBP) and user account. That is until I deleted the phone the Bluetooth Preferences.
    I can re-add the phone via Bluetooth Preferences again, but unlike before, the Mac does not ask me if I want to set up for syncing contacts, events, modem, networking. The device is added, but doesn't get added to the iSync devices.
    Any suggestions?

    Ah! This explains why I have been tearing my hair out for the past 24 hours trying to get my contacts from Address Book to my new BB Torch!
    I found a workaround for a one-time sync:
    1. go into Address Book prefs and temporarily change Default account from iCloud to On My Mac (this makes the "All on My Mac" category visible)
    2. Go back into your contacts window, select all of your contacts, and copy them to All on My Mac (this will create duplicates of everything)
    3. Sync the BB.
    3. Return to prefs to change default account back to iCloud, and select all the contacts in All on My Mac and delete them, thereby removing all duplicates.

  • Can't sync contacts with Viber and whatsapp

    Hi I have a iPhone 5S running  7.1.1 latest iOS.
    Since this update whatsapp can't sync to my contacts and when I installed Viber I'm getting the same issue. These apps simply just sit trying to sync or load contacts.
    Privacy is turned on for both apps and there are no restriction on the phone.
    I have iCloud, exchange and gmail contacts on but have tried turning off gmail and exchange. Followed by uninstalled both apps and reinstalled Viber still no resolution.
    At one stage I did a complete restore of the phone.
    Is there  a know issue with these apps and / or can you advise of any solution. I have also raised a case on Viber.

    Also tried turning off Wifi as discussed in a different tread and this did not solve the problem. I managed to load Viber on to my iPad2 also running 7.1.1 and this worked.

  • Can i sync documents with icloud

    Can i sync my documents with Icloud?

    iCloud does not provide a service like Dropbox where you can store any type of file.  You can store certain word processing files (Work and Pages) along with spreadsheets (Excel and Numbers).  Certain apps on a device also have the ability to store "their supported" files to iCloud, but again, iCloud is not like an external drive where you can store anything you like.  What types of "documents" are you wanting to sync?
