New contacts added on phone don't show up on synced address book

I use iSync to sync contacts and calendars with my Sony Ericsson T610 phone over Bluetooth. Since upgrading to Leopard, I noticed that when I add a contact on my phone, the contact will never appear in the address book on my Mac. It works fine the other way around and calendar entries added on the phone will show up in iCal.
I've set iSync to sync all contacts. The iSync log doesn't show any errors, but also ever only shows entries like [Mac -> Phone] (for both contacts and calendar entries) and not the other way around, even if I add a calendar entry on the phone (which gets synced fine).
Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas?

It works now. Maybe it was the 10.5.2 update.

If your iMac is running 10.9, with contacts and calednar, Maverick is designed to sync those through the icloud

This information is correct for Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents.
It's also correct for Outlook if the Outlook Calendars where exported in the ics format.

Contacts added in Messages don't show up in Contacts/Address Book?

Okay, here's what's happening:
1) A friend messages me for the first time
2) At the top of the message window I hit "Add contact"
3) I type in the details
4) Now, this new contact SHOULD show up in my Address Book/the Contacts app, right? But it doesn't!

If found a thread on stackexchange dealing with several suggestions, none of which worked for me. The last message in the thread is diappointing as it basically says "don't use the add contact feature in the Message app". Unfortunately that is the answer I'll be going with since the feature is obviously broken.
Here's the link to the thread: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/36131/some-contacts-not-showing-up-but- are-still-stored-in-iphone-4

New contacts added on iphone don't make it to addy book or Mobile Me

Hey - Not sure if this is a Mobile Me or an iphone issue.
When I add a new contact by clicking the return address and selecting New Contact on an email I receive the new contact does not show up in my iphone's contact list, and even after synching my phone it does not show up in my imac's address book either.
But, if I start a new email and start typing the person's name, it will autocomplete with the address I just added.
If I then add the contact at home on my imac, and synch it into my phone I see it once in my phone's contact list. But, if I start a new email and start typing the name I will have both entries to choose from, if I entered them differently. One from the one I added on my phone and another from my imac. This is most noticable for my brother. The one I created on the phone just has his first name, but the one I created at home is under first and last name. So if I start typing his first name it will show the first name entry and the first and last name entry as if they're two different people. I do not see a first name only entry in either address book.
This behavior followed me from my iphone 3G to iphone 4 upgrade.
I am using Mobile Me and in itunes I have all the synching turned off and in the iphone's Account settings I have all the synching turned on.
Thanks!

This happened to me in a way on my new iPhone 4. I have many contacts on my phone and had them on other iPhones. My phone had been restored from my 3Gs back up when I got my iPhone 4. Someone texted me that wasn't in my contacts list and I clicked the option in SMS to add new contact. When I went to my contact list the name or number wasn't in there. However when I searched the name in spotlight it found it. I then synced to my computer and it didn't help. To fix it I just Spotlight searched, remembered the number and added it to my contact list straight up. I then had 2 results when searching spotlight and had to find out how to delete the one that wasn't exactly in my contact list and keep the one that showed up and now everything is fine.
However is there a fix for this so it doesn't happen again or an explanation to why.

When i add a new contact to my phone, their details are saved in my contact list, but the name doesn't show up when they ring or txt me, how can i change that?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

New Contacts on the Phone, and problem syncing with Outlook.

I have an iPhone4 with the iOS5 software. I recently did a sync with my phone (regular sync using iTunes and not iCloud). I had added some new contacts to my phone, but after the sync was complete, the contact was removed from my phone. I assume because it was not added to my Outlook contacts first. Is there a setting in iTunes that will add contacts that are only on my phone to my Outlook contacts? I don't want to have to keep adding all my contacts in two places just so I have them as a backup.

Hi and Welcome to the forums..
Have you tried a 'One way Sync' coming from the device to the computer only?

Why was a new contact added without my permission?

Today I had a new person added to my contacts list, (not recent conversations), that I did not approve. I have had people I don't know randomly request to be added but this is the first time where someone was added without my consent.
First off, I would like to report this individual since he has obviously circumvented Skype security features. He is soliciting his S. African business through his profile. How do I go about reporting this because aside from this forum on security I can't find a way to report on your website. I have read several other users post similar stories dating back a few years and I am surprised this is still an issue although I am grateful I have never had this happen before.
Here is the information on the unsolicited contact:

Isync Tiger BUG: Contacts created in phone don't sync into Addressbk Group

This is a bug I've encountered with iSync running on Tiger.
I use iSync to sync my AddressBook contacts with my Motorola Razor.
I have many contacts, but I only need a few of them synced with my phone, so I created a Group called "Phone" in AddressBook.app, and have set my sync preferences in iSync to sync only those contacts in the contacts group "Phone".
When I create a new contact in the phone, and then sync with iSync, the new contact does NOT appear in my designated Group "Phone", but instead in the "All" contacts category. This didn't happen in Leopard.
What this means is that if I ever need to restore my contacts on my phone, none of the contacts that I created on the phone will be synced b/c they are NOT in the "phone" group, but in the All contacts category.
If my iSync preferences are set to sync with a particular AddressBook Group, then NEW CONTACTS created in the PHONE should update to that designated GROUP, and not be considered non-categorized in the AddressBook.app.

You must be mistaken (or very lucky!). This issue was definately around in Tiger too.
Do a search on these forums for the same issue, and you'll see it comes up time and time again going back many years, relating to all versions of Mac OS X and iSync.
Here's just a few:

You can even see in iSync's window that there's an option to "Put events created on phone into:" pop-up, but no equivalent option for Contacts.

Getting contacts added on phone into address book.

I just got my iPhone yesterday and after importing my contacts from my old phone from a .csv file I had over 200 duplicate "no name" contacts. I followed the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2481 and was able to get rid of the duplicates and replace the contacts with what was in my address book. For some reason the force sync where you replace the contents of the phone contact list with your address book contacts did not work so I had to use that.
Now I STILL can not get contacts added on my phone to be entered into my address book after sync. Why is that? I thought the above step was supposed to clear out any issues and force the sync to work correctly?
I DO NOT have Mobileme but I do not think that is necessary for my contacts on my phone to be imported when I sync my iPhone 4.
How do I fix this

You were not turning in the appropriate direction before and/or in the appropriate stance. Plus the techno gods were not smiling on you.
But I am glad they finally let you sync.

My iPhone does not always send iMessages to other iPhones who have their iMessages on. Most times I text a new contact with an iPhone first, they show up as regular text messages. How can I fix this?

Yes to receive an iMessage the recipient would need an iOS device (iPhone, iPod, iPad) and an internet connection. This is a messaging serviceprovided by Apple so the recipient does not need to check emails. If the contact does not have internet access at the time the iMessage is sent then a normal SMS through your carrier can be sent instead if you have "Send as SMS" turned on in Settings>Messages.

I deleted a contact out of my iPhone 4S but when I go to send a message the contact appears although that individual is no longer in my address book. I deleted all text and call history pertaining to the deleted contact but still shows up.

The question is why do you want to show the URL?
Faces apps don't change the url with each click (as the click might be going into a region).
Can you give us a use case? Do you use bounded task flows?
JDev version?

Maverick won't permit syncing Address Book or Calendar by USB to iPhone or iPad and permits only syncing by iCloud, which I don't want to use. Any ideas on how to sync without using iCloud?

Maverick won't permit syncing Address Book or Calendar by USB cable from my MacBook Air to my iPhone and iPad and permits syncing only by iCloud. Mountain Lion permitted this via the Info tab on iTunes. I don't want to use iCloud. Any ideas with Maverick on how to sync Address Book and Calendar from computer to iPhone and iPad without using iCloud?

ymcneil - thanks for the work around. But isn't it amazing Apple forces us to do this to maintain our privacy.
I live in Australia where there are good privacy laws protecting citizens. I do not want to be forced to use iCloud when the data sits in the USA with weaker privacy laws and also able to be seen by the US Government under the Patriot Act. Further I suspect Apple will interrogate my contacts and calendar for commercial purposes and I do not want that either.
I chose to synch my calendar and contacts with my iphone and ipad. I have relied for years on carrying around my phone with my diary on it. I can no longer do that.
Whoever made this decision at Apple has to be someone who knows little about the world. I can actually see EU regulators getting very annoyed by this.
I too woud like the itunes mac to iphone/ipad local backup given back.
In the meantime - thanks for the work around

What is the best way to sync Address Book contacts?

Please help!
I run a small Mac network and I need to sync all (we have 8 Macs) the Mac's Address Book's with each other and also with 5 different iPhones. We have a Mac Server running Tiger and all the Macs are running Tiger. 4 of the Macs are Intel. The server is PowerPC.
At the moment I am just using 1 .Mac account to sync to them all, but this is causing many problems with duplications, errors and 'stress!'
The reason for the above setup is money. But, as the problems continue and the syncing become more important, money is now allowed to be spent.
My question really is, as the subject header says, 'What is the best way to sync Address Book contacts?' In the past I have tried XC Connect, and a few other apps, but with the introduction of the iPhones, the setup has become more complex.
If I were to buy all new Intel Macs and an Intel Mac Server all running Snow Leopard, would the 'Address Book Server' do the job? I have found very little information on the net and the information I did find was all negative.
Is there something Leopard can do that Tiger can't? Is Tiger nolonger a good enough system to try and run an Address Book network?
Does anybody else out there in the Mac world have a similar setup to mine, and if so, how do you have your setup.
Incidentally, ALL users, incuding iPhone users, need read & write access to the Address Book!!
Any solutions or suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks in advance

Oh, I meant Leopard does do more than Tiger Server.
I don't know enough about Server, even less abut Syncing.
SL is to new, not enough time to iron out the kinks yet imho.
One day SL will be better than Leo, but...
I'd ask over in server...
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=96
Or perhaps Collaboration Services...
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1352
They may even have a different opinion on SL.
