My contacts on my iPhone no longer synch to my mac mini since the update to iOS 5

Ever since I started using iOS 5 on my iPhone 3GS my contacts have not been synching with my Mac Mini (10.6).  This means that i need to enter all my contacts that I add on my phone by hand to my Mac Mini which essentially duplicates entries on my iphone
There has to be a way to resolve this

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check your contacts aren't in another group other than iCloud, only iCloud contacts will sync.

  • My daughter and I both have iPhone 4s'.   Last night she switched to ios7 and I am still using ios6.  I use the find my iPhone app to keep track of her and since the update it no longer works.  Her phone says its on. ???

    My daughter and I both have iPhone 4s'.   Last night she switched to ios7 and I am still using ios6.  I use the find my iPhone app to keep track of her and since the update it no longer works.  Her phone says its on but when I try and locate it from either my phone or laptop it shows it offline.  Any suggestions.  It's my only peace of mind! Thanks!

    Does she have her own iCloud account?  You can have more than one iCloud account installed on a device, and some users install a secondary iCloud account which is common to others in the family to allow "Find My iPhone" to be used from one account while keeping separate iCloud contacts, mail, etc.
    But with iOS 7 although you can still have multiple iCloud accounts installed, only the "primary" iCloud account supports "Find my iPhone".  So if her iCloud account is the primary, you can no longer track her from your iCloud account.  Is that what happened in your case?

  • Iv bought a touchpad app for my iPhone 5 to use on my Mac mini, all the functions work accept the zoom one, how can I fix this problem

    Iv bought a touchpad app for my iPhone 5 to use on my Mac mini, all the functions work apart from the zoom one. How can I fix this please

    Considering the app for the iPhone is for iOS, you may have problems using it on the Mac (Mac OS X)
    Two different operating sysems.
    From iTunes for the touchpad app:
    Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 5.1 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.

  • My iTunes won't sync and I can't download an app onto my iPhone 4S. It's been really bad since the update!

    Hi,
    Two problems here guys
    1. My iTunes won't sync. Since the update to iTunes 11 it refuses to transfer purchaces from my iPhone 4S and won't put stuff from my phone into my iTunes library and I can't put anything on my phone through my laptop. Both the laptop and the phone say that they are syncing but nothing actually happens
    2. As the Avengers Initiative app is currently free I decided to try and download it straight on to my phone, but every time I try it says I don't have enough memory, even though I deleted stuff especially so I could download this and I now have 3.6 GB free, so I downloaded it on to my iTunes on my computer, but of course my iTunes won't sync
    I've reinstalled iTunes twice and it hasn't worked!
    Somebody help please

    Same problem, any assistance would be appreciated.
    thanks

  • I can no longer zoom in on my videos since the update

    Since the update I can no longer zoom in on my videos that I have taken whilst watching them. Any ideas...

    The zoom has been replaced by the pinch and zoom method just as you would do in zoming into or out of a document or photo. Hope this helps.

  • My iPhone 4, is not sending or receiving pictures since I updated to iOS 7

    Every since I have updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 7, I have not been able to send or receive pictures through text messages. I know it is not a carrier issue since I was able to send them before but now I am unable to. I need to get this fixed ASAP and help would be greatly appreciated!

    Do you have MMS turn on in settings.
    If the above link doesn't help, then you will need to contact your phone carrieras MMS is a carrier feature.

  • My iPhone 4 has been acting weird since the update to iOS 5.1.1

    I charged it to 100% yesterday morning and by the time I went to bed it was at 13%.  I didn't do anything I don't normally do.  A few games, email, check weather, sports scores; a couple hours of use. 
    Then this morning I was texting a buddy that's in town and when I got a response my screen just flashed on then off really quick and it make a weird static noise instead of the bell when I went to unlock the phone to read the message.  Just before this I changed the volume of the ringer in settings because it sounded really high.
    Has anyone else experienced anything weird since updating?  I'm trying a reboot and will watch it for a while.  Might be time to take it in and have it checked out.

    hi Allan,
    Can't make or receive any calls. When making a call, you see the thing dialing but no tone, it rings at he other end however. When somebody trying to call me, it does not ring at my end. If you try to end the call, the phone page will just freeze, when you exit the phone page to go try the MP3 player for example, and come back, the phone is still trying to end the previous call. I tried resetting the network settings, turn the phone off and on , no difference at all. It's easter Sunday, everything is closed here in Montreal.

  • Although I am using the original cable of my iphone 5 but since the update of io7  I am facing this cable of accessory is not certified warning, how can i fix it?

    I have proble that appears on my Iphone 5 since the update of ios 7, the warning message says" the cable or accessory is not certified"
    Although I am using the original cable but still appearing.
    how can I fix it?
    thanks

    Apple blocked a lot of cable keys. Including official keys that were suspected of being used on non-MFI cables.
    Sony, Panasonic, belkin etc all pay big $$ to have a licence to use the proprietary 'lightning' cable. Which is basically a USB cable that apple wants everyone to use. The EU has laws against creating these kinds of devices but because Apple is a monopoly they can do anything they want. USB, more particularly micro-USB is the standard for every phone and tablet device. Apple is the only manufacturer who appears ignore ewaste laws and continue to insist on ID chips in everything it makes. They would put on in your food and your brain if they could lol.
    If I was a business I'd do it too ;) money money money! It's the name of the game.
    Anyhow.... The bypass is software based and to bypass the block do the following.
    Turn phone off.
    As the phone is powering down, when the spinning icon is on the screen plug it in.
    The phone will now charge, leave it for a few hours and turn it back on.
    Warning - if you plug it in when it's already fully powered down the phone turns on and blocks the cable.
    I know it's not ideal but it will charge your phone at least till you but some MFI / iOS 7 cables from eBay.
    USB cables have never killed anyone yet somehow apple is trying to convince everyone they do lol... At least that's what their marketing team is trying like the devil to prove. I wish I could make a 50 cent cable and charge $25 for it lol.
    No offence to apple but they are sliding down a slippery slope. Everyone can see the iphone walking down the path of blackberrys and Nokia over the next 5 years until it's a faded memory of a good idea that didn't innovate.

  • Notes in a contact in OUtlook are no longer synched with my contacts on iphone

    Hi I noticed recently that the notes that I make about a person in their contact in Outlook is no longer synched with the Iphone.
    Does anybody know if there is a way to make this synch again?

    What about the opposite way:
    Create a test contact on iCloud, wait a few minutes, do you see it on the Mac?
    In Mac's Contacts > Preferences... > Accounts > Is the iCloud account enabled?

  • I updated my Iphone4 and had the m.calendar app with all of my daily temperatures saved, since the update after even after synching the iphone to itunes I have lost months of tracking I am devastated!! can anyone help get it back

    I updated my Iphone4 and had the m.calendar app with all of my daily temperatures saved, since the update after even after synching the iphone to itunes I have lost months of tracking I am devastated!! can anyone help get it back

    I don't understand this answer. What do you mean " your contacts should be in whatever program/service you have selected to sync."? The address book is created on the phone not in Itunes or any other program/service. When Itunes says backing up phone I have to assume it backs up everything on the phone. Most of what's on my phone does not come out of itunes. I download apps directly on the phone. When the software updates it does not bring those apps back. I have to go into the appstore and install them all over again. Itunes music library syncs with whatever is on the device your linked up to BUT the phone book just dissappears after you update the phone. There is no way to save it anywhere else.

  • When I sync my iPhone 5 to Outlook 2010, the email addresses that I have listed as Email 1 for any given contact in my iPhone will be automatically moved to Email 3 in the Outlook file. Is there a way to fix this?

    iCloud email supports 'plus' addressing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Address_tags
    So your friend could just add '+research' to the username part of your email address, and you setup a rule at icloud.com to put all emails sent to that address into a particular folder.
    For example:
    [email protected]
    There's no way to do it without rules on the server though.

  • Since the update, I cannot open my contacts on my iPad2. Help!

    Since the update the other day, I cannot open my contacts on my iPad2.  My iPhone is ok so far.  I'm not sure about what to do to get it open.  Any help would be much appreciated.

    I tried that too and it didn't work.  I can open Contacts but when I click on a name, nothing happens.  The right side has three options, Create new contact, Add to Existing Contact and Share contact.  If I click on add to existing contacts, a list comes up but when you click on a name, Contacts closes.  If I click on create new contact, a box opens to set it up but it is small and doesn't look like the usual page to fill out for a new contact.  This is so strange.  My contacts are intact on the cloud and my iPhone but not on the iPad.  Also, why do I lose some but not all phone numbers?
