Iphone 4s on iOS 7 - contacts do not sync anymore

contacts in my iPhone 4s do not sync anymore. other apps (ical, photos, reminders, mail) are ok. as of now I need to sync contacts manually. I also have two MacBooks and an iPad and they are all in sync among themselves, but the iPhone itself is out of reach. Is there a way to reset Contacts only for iPhone and get it back to normal?

Hey puntodifuga,
There are a few things that you can do to get your contacts to sync over if you are using iCloud. Lets start with that and go over the article below to start that process so you can be synced up.

  • IPhone Contacts & Calendars not syncing with mobileme

    Apologies if there is a solution to this posted already, I can't find it despite extensive searching!
    My iPhone Calendars & Contacts do not sync with MobileMe. I can't find a way of exporting or saving the data on the iPhone and importing it into my desktop iCal & Contacts apps.
    I have looked at all troubleshooting help I can find, and all is suggested is deleting/ resetting the phone & syncing from MobileMe. However, if I do this I will lose lots of contacts & calendar entries.
    The data will NOT sync from my phone despite following all available instructions. My desktop apps are all set to sync with MobileMe & this works fine, it's just the iPhone data will not transfer to MobileMe.
    Please help!!

    Since you are syncing your iPhone with your Mac, it should be syncing your contacts and calendars with your Mac as well (and your bookmarks if you have it set up to sync). You should have Mobile Me setup on your Mac to at least sync your Calendars and Contacts, which should be updating your Mobile Me account. If you want to check to make sure that all of your contacts that are on your iPhone are on your Mac, simply open up the Contacts App. Once you check this, add your Mobile Me account to your iPhone and let it sync your contacts and calendars, it will delete all the contacts and calendars that are currently on your iPhone, but the same data is on your Mac anyways. Once Mobile Me syncs with your iPhone you won't have to worry about it anymore.
    If you are having problems where you already setup your Mobile Me account on your iPhone and it's not syncing properly, deleted it, restart your iPhone, then add it again.
    Does this help?

  • Since upgrading iPhone 4S to OIS 7 my outlook 2010 calendar and contacts will not sync.  Anyone have a solution?

    Everything was fine with Outlook 2010 on my iPhone 4S. Now with IOS 7 my calendar and contacts no longer sync. I have read so many comments online but no one has had the perfect solution. I feel as if I have tried everything. I have even reset my software and phone. Still nothing. Is this feature no longer available or are there new requirements to make it work? I am so unhappy!!!

    Hello there janis143,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like after the recent iOS update, your Outlook content is no longer syncing properly to your phone.
    I found this article named:

    I recommend the troubleshooting steps therein.

    Apparantly it is, On My Mac contacts don't appear in iCloud, anywhere.
    Put all your contacts on all of your devices in iCloud (assuming that's where you want them to be)
    Go to www.icloud.com, login and see what you actually have in the account.

  • Contacts are not syncing from Mac to iPhone

    iCloud Contacts are not syncing if created on my macbook. But if created on iOS they sync.  Have no clue on this one.

    It took me awhile to figure out what is actually happening here, even though it seems obvious now. Unfortunately I can find no way to do what I need.
    On MacBook Pro Contacts, over on left page, at top left it says "All Contacts", under that "On my Mac", under that ""iCloud". I have figured out that "On My Mac" contacts are separate from "iCloud" contacts (seems obvious). The contacts in "iCould" are the only ones which sync with your iOS devices.
    Unfortunately, when I add contacts through Mail (my usual procedure), they are only added to the "On My Mac" set. I can find no way to have them automatically add to the "iCloud" set of contacts instead of the "On My Mac" set. I cannot figure out how to get these contacts in the "On My Mac" set to sync to iCloud without some very fancy and complicated exporting, deleting, importing ALL contacts, and it is a lot easier just to type the contact info into a new card in the "iCloud" contact set.
    Does anyone know of some setting to allow me to use iCloud exclusivly? That's why I want iCloud and Mac, to work together.

  • HT204150 since moving from mobileme to icloud my calendar and contacts do not sync from my iphone: what should I do

    my calendars and contacts do not sync since moving from mobile me to icloud. what should i do

    After that if I go to my calendar on my macair to try and sync to my Imac, by clicking the sync button on the top bar (like I used to with mobile me) I get a drop down menu that says
    1.Time Machine not configured (in shading)
    2. Browse other backup discs (in bold)
    3.Open Time Machine preferences (in bold)
    That's where you're going wrong. Firstly the syncing method that MobileMe used, which places the icon in the menu bar, is quite different from the iCloud method and is irrelevant. Secondly, you're confusing the Time Machine icon with it.
    On this Mac you need to set up in System Preferences>iCloud in the same way, then the syncing is automatic. In iCal on both machines you should see in the Calendar list your calendars listed unrer 'iCloud', and your calendars should be visible at http://icloud.com (and choose Calendar in the welcome screen).
    If they aren't visible online, go to http://me.com/calendar - you should not be able to see them there. If you can, you haven't migrated.

  • When syncing my iphone i get a msg, "itunes could not sync calendars to the iphone because an error occurred while merging data"   I sync my calendar to outlook.  My iphone calendar has all and the most updated information.  Outlook shows only recurringMY

    I'm at a loss as to what to do. Any help is appreciated.  When syncing my iphone I get an message, "itunes could not sync calendars to the iphone because an error ocurred while merging data" I sync my calendar to outlook.  My iphone calendar has all and the most updated information.  Outlook calendar only shows my recurring events. 

    hi there,
    i've found a great & simple solution for this problem
    just open your iCloud acc on iPhone
    turn off calendars (it wil ask you to keep info or not - KEEP IT!)
    and turn back on (MERGE!)
    now SYNC it..
    and that's it
    PS in my case it was contacts so the procedure is the same..

  • ICloud contacts do not sync under ML

    I have 697 contacts in 11 groups stored in iCloud and all appear on my iPhone and iPad. They were also visible in the contacts app on my MacBook Air so far. After the installation of ML yesterday, there are only 490 contacts and no groups and changes made on the MacBook do not sync to iClound.
    Any ideas? Thanks, Tom

    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.

  • Contacts Do not sync to iCloud

    I add a lot of contacts to my phone throughout the month. 
    For some reason.  The contacts do not sync to icloud consistently. 
    I have an iphone 4S, and am running Mavericks on my imac with the latest update 10.9.1.
    I have talked to 3 Apple support techs.
    I have restored phone, turned icloud on and off of all devices, all groups are checked in contacts, my mail, contacts and calendars are set as icloud as default on all devices.
    Getting my contacts into icloud after I enter them onto my phone is not working..........

    Have you checked to see if they are visible if you go to iCloud.com? That would probably isolate the problem to either the iPhone or the computer.
