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.

    i got a new lenovo desktop windows 8.1,installed itunes and synced my iphone 4 no problems. then i imported a cd of songs which showed up in recently added but not in main library ,therefore it did not sync to the iphone. how can i get new songs to appear in the main library and sync properly
    thanks
    john

    Check the songs are really not in the Music section of the library by clicking the magnifying glass in the search box and unticking Search Entire Library if it is ticked, then typing in the name of the album. If the tracks still don't show try closing iTunes and deleting a hidden file called sentinel from inside your iTunes folder. This should make iTunes run an integrity check on the database when you start it again. Make sure the tracks are checked before you try syncing again.

  • 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.

  • Updated contacts do not sync from Mac to iCloud

    Updating or adding contacts in my Mac addressbook are not synced to the cloud. But if I make changes in my contacts on my iPhone or iPad, sync works perfectly and updates are reflected in my Mac addressbook. I'm running Lions on a MBP.
    Any hints much appreciated.

    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.

  • HT1296 I have switched from a Exchange account to an imap account and now my contacts won't sync from my computer to my iPhone - what to do?

    I have switiched from an Exchange account (which I just deleted) to a imap account account. But I can't seem to get my contacts to sync from my laptop onto my new account.
    What should I do?

    What do you mean the ones "unique" to your phone? If you were not syncing them with something, they are gone. They are only part of the backup to preserve the list of favorite numbers and recent calls.
    Don't worry about having to restore the previous OS. You can not do so at all.

  • ITunes says my iPhone 4 is updated, but I've got the old Bluetooth version and haven't got the new menues? Music that i've loaded to iTunes directly is not synced to the iPhone either, but the other way it syncs...

    iTunes says that my iPhone is updated, and I've done all the updates, but I've still got an old Bluetooth version and not the new menues. If I download music to iTunes directly that music does not transfer to the iPhone when I sync it to iTunes, but music from the iPhone is copied to iTunes... Any one else who has experienced this and/or have a solution? I'm having big problems with using bluetooth handsfree and I've heard that got better with the new bluetoothversion.

  • HT1364 I got a new computer and my IPOD will not sync with the new computer?  what am I doing wrong....thanks

    I got a new computer and my IPOD will not sync with the new computer.....I have a ITUNES account on the new computer and is downloading music just fine but it will not sync to the IPOD....What should I do to sync my IPOD?  thanks

    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
    Attempts to sync an iDevice to a new computer will remove all content from the device and replace it with content from the new, empty library.

  • Photos and contacts will not sync from iCloud to iPhone

    Hi Everyone
    I have an iPhone 4 with the latest iOS (5.1.1), and have had to restore my phone due to sluggish response from the device, however I have had problems when setting up my phone again.
    When the phone was restored and I wanted to restore a backup, it said the latest backup was from 10/12/2011 (I'm assuming this was the last time I backed up to iTunes). The issue I have is all my photos and contacts are on iCloud (last updated 25/05/2012, it clearly says this on my device under iCloud section). I have looked about to try and find a way to get this information back onto my iPhone but have not had any luck.
    Can someone please help me find out how to get my photos and contacts from iCloud back onto my iPhone, having no contacts is a real pain! If anyone can help it would be really appreiciated!
    MESSAGE TO APPLE: Your support is a complete joke, why should I have to pay for your assistance on clear design flaws with iCloud and its ability to sync with iOS enabled devices. Also you should really consider allowing people to download their photos / contacts via iCloud.com

    me again everyone, I've managed to find my contacts on my iPhone. When I look under the contacts app it just says "no contacts", but if I look at the contacts tab via Phone they all appear, weird bug.
    Still problems with my photos though

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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?

  • I updated itunes and now my songs will not sync from the computer to ipod

    I just updated my itunes software and my song will not transfer to the ipod. I tryed a new port but tha seems unlikly because itunes does reconize the ipod it just will not update the songs. I restarted the ipod that did not work so i updated the installed software and refreshed the ipod noe I have no songs because it wiped out the ones that were there from the old sync. I have tryed doing a manual update as apposed to the automatic update but that did not work either. I have tryed turning off my anti virus software but that did not work??? any ideas?

    Ive had the same problem and I restored my i-pod then when i hooked up the i-pod it said it was full and asked If I wanted it to select a few songs to put on, i clicked yes thinking It meant it would just put my selected songs on but then it put 675 songs out of the library on when i only have 67 checked. they play wether tehyre checked in the Library or not, is there any way to fix this?

  • Some iCloud contacts do not display on the iPhone

    I have an iPhone and iPad.  Recently I exported my companie's contacts from Lotus Notes to a vCard and successfully imported them to my iCloud contacts.  When I sign in to iCloud on my PC all contacts show up, the number of contacts matches exactly.  When the iPad is used and only iCloud contacts are selected to synch, all contacts show up as expected.  When I do the same on my iPhone, there are about 15 contacts that for whatever reason do not show up.  Anyone ever had an issue like this?  Sounds like it could be some issue on the iPhone since the iPad is able to display all the contacts.
    I have a iPhone 5s and iPad mini, both with iOS7.1.

    Thank you for your response.  I guess I should have indicated the things that I have already tried .  I have already attempted this step couple of times on the iPhone.  I also deleted the iCloud account on the iPhone and added it back on.  None of those things had any effect.  I guess the next thing I could try is backup>full reset.

  • 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.)

  • Needed to set up my computer anre, then my Adobe Suite. Can't install InDesign from the CD anymore. What is wrong?

    I have Adobe CS 6, Production Premium Education Edition.
    I recently needed to set up my computer and obviously had to reinstall alls my adobe programs.
    But this time around, indesign was not an option anymore. What happened?

    if your computer meets the id specs, copy the installation files from your cd to a desktop directory and reinstall from that directory.
