My contacts on iPhone and Mac are not the same

Hi there,
Can someone advise me how do I get my Contacts on my Mac to be the same as my iPhone. My main contacts is in my iPhone but my Mac shows less contacts.

To sync them with iCloud, you'll need to copy them to the iCloud account and then disable contact syncing with your exchange account (so you don't see duplicate contacts on your phone).  To do this, do the following:
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup.  (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer you will need the “Pro” version.  If you aren't sure how many you have, get the free version.  It will tell you if you have over 500 contacts when you run it.)  Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from your exchange account) as a vCard attachment to an email.  Send this email to yourself and confirm that you have received it.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and set this to iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap your exchange account and turn contacts syncing off.
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from your exchange account back to your device, and to iCloud.  All your contacts should now be in iCloud and appear on icloud.com and your Mac.

  • My MacBook Pro, running 10.7.3, does not recognize when my iPhone and iPad are on the same network, thus it does not synch.  Any ideas?

    Try the basics first:
       Change your router channel number.  Most times this works & is all you have to do.
    Disconnect & reconnect your modem.  unplug it for about 10 seconds.  Plug it back in.  Do the same for Apple’s routers.  Wait for everything to reboot.
    System Preferences>Network
    Click the Assist Me button.
    In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

  • If i have multiple iPhones and Mac Mini sharing the same Apple ID, can I use Facetime between the devices?

    if i have multiple iPhones and Mac Mini sharing the same Apple ID, can I use Facetime between the devices?

    Yes, but if you want these devices to have complete capability of calling each other they each must have their own separate, individual e mail address.  If they don't have individual e mail addresses, the i phones will be able to call each other because you'll be using their  individual phone numbers -- the Mac mini will be able to call the i phones, but, the iphones will not be able to call the Mac mini.  This is because the iphones will be using the mini's e- mail address to make the call, and if they have the same e mail address, they will think they are calling themselves, so the call will not connect.
    So, the way I see it is,  if you keep all of the email addresses the same, the only thing you'll loose is the ability of the iphones to call the mini.
    EDIT:  Thinking about it, my first sentence needs to be modified.  Your iphones can share an email address but it must be different from the Mac mini address.
    This isn't rocket science, but it can make your head spin. LOL

  • Personal area and EE subgroup of Infotype 01 and 77 are not the same. Help!

    Hi All,
    Good day.
    I read your thread here and I guess we have a common problem. Can I ask for your help?
    I run the program RPURACU0 to update the new race and ethnicity data in infotype 77. But why it changed the Personnel Area and Employee Subgroup. Only the race and ethnicity codes should have been changed and not the Personnel Area and Employee Subgroup.
    Please help me what causes these discrepancies in data.
    Example:
    In PA20, enter personnel number 7600634. Personal area = US81 and EE Subgroup = U0. But when displaying infotype 77 the Personal area = US02 and EE Subgroup = U1.
    The personal area and EE subgroup of infotype 01 and 77 should be the same. In this example, they are not the same. Please help me to find out what causes this problem.
    Please reply asap because this problem should be solved immediately.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi GRM,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I checked the date from the table and I found out that:
    P0001-ENDDA not equal P0077-ENDDA
    P0001-BEGDA not equal P0077-BEGDA
    Please reply asap.
    Thanks,

  • HT3500 I cannot connect Macbook (OS 10.6.8) to Epson XP 400 wirelessly. It works when connected to a USB cable. Both printer and Mac are on the same network and Norton/symantic is OFF. The Epson will not show up in "add printer". is off.

    I cannot connect my Macbook to Epson printer XP 400. Both are on the same network and Symantic anti virus is disconneted.
    Add printer does not find the Epson. All works when I use the USB cable.

    Further information on my question about the epson wireless printer and macbook.
    It seems that the epson xp-400 works wirelessly only with 802.11n wireless network not with 802.11g or earlier.
    Does anyone else know about this. I read it on the epson support site for epson xp-400.
    Also epson xp-400 will not work wirelessly if it is already connected to a computer with a USB cable.

  • Indesign CC for Mac and PC are not the same?

    I have creative cloud on a Mac and a PC. I cannot open the Mac Indesign files on the PC and it's frustrating. The whole point of getting Adobe CC was to be able to work on both platforms. The Mac version of Indesign is showing as 9.2.1 and the PC version is showing as 8.0.2. If you're never going to get the PC version the same, how can I revert the Mac back down to 8.0.2 so the files will be interchangeable?

    I just saw where CC is only available for Windows 7 and higher and I am NOT upgrading XP so CS6 is all I can have on the PC. I'm downloading CS6 for the Mac now, so from now on my files should work on both.

  • Apple ID for iTunes and iCloud are not the same?  How to change iCloud id

    My wife changed her Apple ID via her iTunes account.  Her iCloud account is set up on her old email address and she cannot access it, therefore the Cloud is not syncing.  How can I get the iCloud account to work?  Was the iCloud account changed when she switched her Apple ID and with the same password?

    She will need to sign out completely in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud and then sign back in with the new ID.

  • What do you do when your contacts with IPHONES or IPADS are not showing up in blue in IMESSAGE on my IPAD. The are showing up in RED and not allowing me to IMESSAGE them at all.

    What do you do when your contacts with IPHONES or IPADS are not showing up in blue in IMESSAGE on my IPAD. The are showing up in RED and not allowing me to IMESSAGE them at all.

    It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did. 
    Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
    I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

    Hi, MPiaM.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I would need clarification on if you are experiencing an issue with syncing photos via iTunes or iCloud to provide a better answer.  However, here are a couple troubleshooting articles that cover both scenarios.

  • TS4036 I purchased an iphone for my daughter and we are using the same account and she deleted some contacts from her phone and they were deleted off of my contacts as well. Is there a way to use icloud backup to reinstall the contacts to my phone?

    I purchased an iphone for my daughter and we are using the same account and she deleted some contacts from her phone and they were deleted off of my contacts as well. Is there a way to use icloud backup to reinstall the contacts to my phone?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can only restore them from a Computer backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
    Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.
