My contacts are not syncing from my iPhone to Outlook on my pc

For some reasson my contacts that I enter on my iPhone stopped syncing to Outlook on my PC at home. Can anyone help me with solving this?
Thank you.

Just to confirm, if you go to https://www.icloud.com/ and sign in with your appleID and password, do you see all of your iphone contacts in the icloud? Also, on your iphone settings, under iCloud you have iCloud setup to synch your 'contacts' set to 'on'? Make sure you are running the latest apple iOS too under General/Software Update (5.0.1). If you use iTunes to synch info with your phone, I would disable 'synch contacts with outlook' as it's not required any longer. When your phone is plugged into the PC, you will notice that setting by clicking on your phone under 'devices' on left and then going to the 'info' tab at the top, first setting.
I have Outlook 2007, in the left sidepane, you should see a "contacts" button, select it. Up at the top on the left side you should see "My Contacts" where your old outlook contacts are stored (the default contacts) and now below that you should see "contacts in iCloud" where your iphone contacts were synched to Outlook. Additionally, from the menu you can select Tools/Address Book.. There you should see all your contacts in the various address books. There is a drop down where you can select a particular address book, such as "iCloud" or the default "Contacts". These are two seperate address books, only one is synched to your phone/icloud.
Hope this helps.. frustrating these issues can become.

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.

My groups of contacts are not synced to my iPhone.

My groups of contacts that I created with Outlook 2010 are not synced to my iPhone. What shall I do?

Having a similar problem. I added a calendar event only to discover it hadn't synched via iCloud to my iPhone and thus did not get an alert I needed.

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.

My contacts are not syncing from icloud to my pc and iphone

Though my iphone has all my contacts listed only of few of those contacts show in my icloud contacts and my outlook contacts. Can anyone help me to fix this problem? I thank you, in advance, for your assistance.

My contacts do not sync from my iphone over iCloud to my mac.

Sorry if this a repeat but I've searched and can not find an answer. I have an iphone and a mac book pro both os5 with the cloud set up to sync everything. When I snap a picture with my iphone it shows up on my mac no problem. However, when I add a new contact to my iphone, I can access the updated contact list from icloud.com on my mac, but the contact does not show up on my mac's contact list. I was under the impression it should? Again, I have sync contacts checked on both. Please advise. Thank you.

hi randers4 .... this might be the solution. Question, what do you mean by "if you have any contacts or calendar events on your iPhone or iPad that are not on icloud.com, add them there." Where is "there" and how do I get to "there".
Now,... I do have contacts and calendar that are on the iPhone but was not signed on to the cloud. Do have an ID and PW. So I logged onto the cloud .....that turn on the cloud on the iPhone and did a backup. Is that what you mean when you say add "them there" on the iphone?

ICloud sync: Contacts are not syncing from Mac to iCloud, other services OK.

Notes and calendar data are syncing fine. Syncing between iPhone and iCloud on all 3 appears to work fine. I have toggled syncing through the control panel; did not help.

Go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac, then go back and sign back in. (This deletes the account and iCloud data from your Mac, but not from iCloud. Your data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

My iCloud is set up and seems to work. However, a newly added contact does not sync from the Macbook to the iphone and iPad. What am I doing wrong?

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.

My photos are not streaming from my iPhone 4 to my iPad 7. The settings are correct and it always has before I had a recent holiday in Cuba. Those photos didn't stream and now new photos since home in Vancouver, Canada are not?

My photos are not streaming from my iPhone 4 to my iPad 7. The settings are correct and it always has before I had a recent holiday in Cuba. Those photos didn't stream and now new photos since home in Vancouver, Canada are not? Both are updated to IOS 7.1.2

Hmm... It looks like they are gone forever now then. I can't think of any other way of getting them back apart from restoring from an iTunes or iCloud backup. Somebody else might be able to help but I think they're gone forever. I don't know why they were wiped from your iPod but it could be something to do with security. In the future I would recommend syncing to iTunes or iCloud to prevent it from happening again. You can always make a reservation at the Genius Bar and see what those guys can do because it seems that they are still there, they are just 'hidden' from view. http://concierge.apple.com/reservation/gb/en/techsupport/

My yahoo contacts are not updating on my iphone

for the last several weeks, changes i have made to my yahoo contacts are not updating on my iphone. any idea why this may be?

That was the first thing I checked, but it wasn't the problem. A few days later the same thing happened to her daughter's 3gs. I don't know if the problem is on Yahoo's end or on apple's. For the time being, I turned off yahoo contact syncing and told her to put her contacts in manually.

Okay, so we're moving forward now. no problem. while waiting for a response I noticed that both NUMBERS and PAGES sync-ed to the iCloud on iphone5. However, I am still waiting for the iPad to sync. post IOS8. Should I go get a cup of coffee or is there a way to expedite the sync process?
