My phone won't update contacts

My iphone won't update my contacts.  My ipad has more contacts than my iphone.  They both are syncing and they both are backing up icloud. So what I am doing wrong.  The iphone contacts under settings is on.

On both devices tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Contacts off then back on.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.

  • Phone won't show contact name in recents list

    Phone won't show contact name while somebody call me, the same is in recent list under number is unknown. I already reset my phone and try to make new contact when somebody called me and it isn't work. 

    you have entered the number in the wrong format. There should be no zeros.  IF you were entering my number then that would be +617 XXXX XXXX with the + being the international dial out code and 61 being the country code  7 the area code without leading zeros and rest being my number.
    If someone wanted to call me from insider the country but from another state they would dial 07 XXXX XXXX but the international dialing format would still work.  Note that the 0 in the area code is not used in the international dialing format

  • My phone won't update to version 5.0.1

    My phone won't update to version 5.0.1 and it says that the network connection timed out but the Internet is up the entire time and I sit and watch for 45 minutes to make sure it stays lit. What is wrong and what should I do?

    If you are updating via the update setting on the phone true using
    Another wifi network. If that doesn't work. Try updating on iTunes.

  • Phone won't Synch contacts and calendar

    HELP!!  So, my phone recognizes my PC (and likewise), but won't transfer anything over (including my contacts and calendar) when synchronizing.  It's giving all appearances of synching, but when finished, nothing is showing up on my phone.  The phone is showing 14.83GB available space on the SD card, and I get a message on my PC (Vcast), "ERROR:  VMMModeselection.exe - no disk  - There is no disk in the drive.  Please insert a disk into drive D:"  Never had a disk, so I'm not sure what to do about that?  Where do I go from here to insure things are transferring from my PC to my HTC Droid?

    Dear Adam,
    I am having a similar issue with my Incredible, however mine is with the exchange active sync. I sync my calendar and contacts only, no email. If I have a new calendar item it will sync with no issues. If someone sends an update to that item, that item is then duplicated on my phone's calendar. I checked my settings and for Resolve Conflict I have choosen Replace items on phone. I have been using this tpye of sync for the last 6+ months with no issues. This just started happening in the last month or so. I have deleted the account and added it again and the first sync is fine. In addition, when I have a calendar item in outlook canceled, it does not cancel the item on my phone calander. I believe sometime in late November or early December my phone prompted me to complete a software update. Since then, I have been noticing this issue and it is driving me CRAZY! Do you have any advice?
    Thanks,
    mccpsmith

  • Phone won't update to 14.4.A.0.133

    Hi there,
    Background: I live in Australia and Telstra is my service provider.
    I received a notification for a new system update a few weeks ago but despite trying multiple times, I can't install the update. I can fully download the update, but when i got to install it, it pops up with an error immediately saying "Could not install new software version. Try again."  I then have to downlad the 168MB file again.
    My sister has the exact same phone (Sony Xperia Z1) and is having the same issue.
    Any help on why this is happening/what to do about it would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Hi Lexperia22,
    Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    Based on the error message, this sounds like an update through the Update Centre on the handset. 
    I suggest that you use one of the links Uliwooly has supplied above to perform this update using a PC Computer or a Mac computer.

  • When texting phone won't insert contact

    iPhone 5 Help?
    When I am texting or emailing, the iPhone won't auto-select a contact's name as I type it.... It used to and I am wondering why?
    I did just get a new MBP and I am wondering if maybe I have not 'synced' (my contacts...?) right or something like that.... Any help would be awesomely appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Hi. I have, yes.
    I have even been to the Apple Store and spoke to a Genius. He suggested that I erase and re-set the phone, which I have done and it is still not working.
    Anyone else have any suggestions?

  • My iphone4 won't update Contacts when I sync with my Mac

    I recently bought an new iphone 4 with a 2 year contract from Verizon.  I was told to download the VZ contact transfer app in order to transfer the contacts from my old phone.  When I used it, I was surprised that my whole address book downloaded, even though I wasn't connected to my MacBook.  Now I've noticed that new contacts and revised Groups are not sync-ing.  Does anyone know what might be happening, and how to correct it?

    "website says most recent software should be 4.3 Even for Verizon phones) "
    What website says this?
    4.2.6 is the lateset for Verizon I believe.  There is no 4.3 for Verizon.

    You have a Verizon iPhone 4. 4.2.10 IS the most current version of iOS for that phone. The app you purchased will not run on your phone until iOS 5 is released this fall. Assuming the app turns out to be compatible with iOS 5.

  • Please help, LUMIA 920 won't update.

    Hello
    First let me say that I've had my NL0920 for six months and love it, but I am really frustrated that even 5 months after Amber came out my phone won't update and even fails updating when I try using other methods that have been discussed here.  Please help, this is really frustrating because I don't have any of the Amber goodness and at this rate I know I will also miss the Black update.  Even though I love my 920 I fully expected it would be updated fairly constantly as that was one of the main things that were easy to see from the press about Nokia.
    I have a Nokia Lumia 920 type RM-821, white (RM-821_lta_lta1_546)
    product code 059S1L6,
    configuration ID 153556,
    Label ID 1232.5957.9200.10211.142,
    Application Version 3.3.32
    Mobile Operator 000-PR
    Accesories Agent 2.6.2.1
    Feedback to Nokia 2.5.0.17
    Firmware Update Notifier 1.0.1.7
    Nokia Share 2.1.2.3
    Silent Installer 1.4.1.2
    SIM Unlock 1.0.0.5
    Software Version 1232.5957.1308.0002
    The phone is an unlocked Puerto Rican Country variant and is being used in Panama Central America with the Claro Operator.  According to the Global Availability page (http://www.nokia.com/global/support/software-updat​e/wp8-software-update/) the Country variant should already have the amber update available.
    When I try checking for phone updates through the Settings menu, it tells me that my phone is up to date, which is obviously not true.  
    Please help.  I love this phone but if it won't upgrade then I am going to have to start looking at something else, because I really hoped I would get the new camera improvements, and the same with the black update.

  • Time won't update correctly

    I have travelled overseas and my phone won't update the time correctly (says it's 3:10am when's it's actually 10:10am) and I don't have my computer to sync to. What should I do?

    Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Tap Settings > General > Date & Time. Toggle the 24-Hour Time off and on and make sure "Set Automatically" is set to ON.
    If that didn't help, go here for instructions to do a hard reset. http://www.wikihow.com/Hard-Reset-an-iPhone

  • HT204266 Anyone else having problem with updates?  My apps won't update and can't download any new apps.

    My phone won't update the apps or let me download any new ones. Been going on for few days now.

    Many developers are releasing updates today because tomorrow Apple is shutting down iTunes Connect (the developer backend to iTunes) for the holidays. This could be affecting things, but I doubt it.
    You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.
