New contacts don't sync from iPhone to ipad

I have 88 contacts on my iPhone and only 73 sync to my ipad. But if I enter a new contact on my iPad it syncs seamlessly to my iPhone. Any suggestions

Both devices are on. It's weird that I can add a new contact on my iPad and it transfers fine to the iPhone. I have deleted and re synced my contacts .. And nothing.
No tater what I do my iPhone will not sync all my contacts to the cloud or iPad.
I even turned on the iPhone contacts to the cloud default and nothing.

  • Apps don't sync from iPhone to iPad

    Just got an iPad and although my apps from iTunes/iPhone have transferred to my iPad, the information didn't transfer....it's like it's two separate accounts...is there a way to sync them up so the information within the apps transfers back and forth and stays up to date? I have tried to figure this out, but am having no luck. Thanks in advance.

    Syncing an existing app on iTunes to a different device is like adding it new to that device.

  • My iMac calendar and contacts no longer sync on iPhone and iPad?

    I updated iTunes on my iMac a few months ago. Since then my calendar and my contacts on the iMac have not been syncing on my iPhone and my iPad. My memory says there used to be an "Info" button at the top of the iTunes interface when I had my iPhone or iPad connected to the iMac for syncing. Do not see that button any more? Have been looking and looking for some new way to sync my calendar and my contacts, but have not found anything. This is one of several disappointments with the new iTunes. How do I get my iMac, iPhone, iPad calendars and contacts to sync??
    It's been a real pain to have to enter calendar and contact information into all three! My iMac runs on Maverick, my iTunes is 11.1.3, and the iPhone and iPad run on iOS 7.0.4

    Hello Bev76,
    Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like contacts and calendars on your iPad are not being synced to your iPhone 5, but the data syncs from iPhone to iPad.
    If you are using iCloud for your contacts and calendars, start with the troubleshooting steps in the "iOS" or "Troubleshooting on iOS devices" sections of these articles:
    Get help using iCloud Contacts - Apple Support

    All the best,

  • Why is contact sync from iphone or ipad to local iMac address book gone?

    An option for syncing contacts from iphone or ipad to iMac seems to be gone.  From searching other posts on this topic, I see where contact sync is now "through iCloud" but is this the EXCLUSIVE choice for syncing contacts?  In other words, there is no longer any sync of contacts NOT through iCloud; I cannot sync contacts from my iPhone to my iMac without it all being stored in the cloud.
    This is absurd.  My iCloud was hacked (not a password issue on my iMac or any local trojan/etc there are support threads about this) and tons of spam sent to my contacts when I used to sync through the cloud.  I turned off iCloud sync for contacts and opted instead to sync from phone to mac and from iPad to mac and this was working just fine, keeping me nice and updated every day no matter where I modified any contacts.
    Now it seems that is no longer possible.  Is this by design?  Why on earth was this removed?  Is it a "feature" of these new products to remove working sync methods and force everything through the cloud??

    The ability to sync contacts, calendar and browser bookmarks directly from a Mac running Mavericks to an IOS device via USB or WiFi has indeed been removed. Synching through iCloud, Exchange, WebDAV or a similar cloud service is the only option now. You can comment to Apple in this issue via their feedback page, if you wish:

  • My calendar events transfer during sync from iPhone to iPad but not vice versa.

    When I try to sync my calendars all of the entries on my iPhone appear (even the duplicates) on my iPad but my entries on the iPad do not transfer to my iPhone. I have tried switching the order they sync in (iPhone after iPad or iPad and then iPhone) but no changes. I have the "All Calendars" box checked on my iTunes. Any suggestions?

    I assume you are syncing cal's through iTunes. While I am not sure how to solve your problem, I'd recommend using Google Exchange to sync your contacts. It works in real time and uses your gmail credentials to do so.

  • Contacts won't sync from iPhone to Mac Air

    I have had an iPhone 5C for the past year with iOS 7.1.2 (the most recent iOS).
    I recently purchased a MacBook Air with OS X version 10.9.4.
    My issue is that none of my newly created contacts will sync with my Mac's contacts. Every time I go to iTunes to sync my contacts it says my contacts are automatically synced over iCloud, which isn't a problem for me, except it doesn't work... I've checked my iCloud settings. My contacts from all my accounts are supposed to be synced, and yet I am missing about 70 contacts from my Mac contacts. I also tried to turn off Contact sync, and then see no way to manually sync my contacts.
    I use both my mac and phone to message people frequently, and its irritating and confusing when I have no idea who I am messaging on my Mac. Does anyone know where I need to start to fix this problem?

    Hello samaras,
    if you turned on iCloud Contacts Sync, then you shouldn't use iTunes for syncing your contacts between your devices.
    Please make sure that your (the same) iCloud account is set up on all your devices:
    iOS: Settings > iCloud > Contacts has to be turned on
    Mac: System Preferences > iCloud > Contacts has to be turned on
    BTW: Make sure that you saved your contacts in the iCloud section of your address book and not only locally.
    For more information regarding setting up iCloud on your devices please see also the following website: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

  • New voice memos not syncing from iphone to itunes

    My voice memos are not syncing from my iPhone4 to iTunes.  Everything has been restarted.  Everything is up-to-date.  The voice memo box is checked.  What is going on?  Thanks.

    Hey Colonel,
    I read this on another thread then confirmed it when I bought an App on my iPhone then did a sync. At first, it appeared that the App was being copied to the iTunes library, but when I checked under Applications, it was not there.
    So I went to the File menu, and selected Transfer Purchases from iPhone. It again showed that it was copying to iTunes, and this time it really did.
    Not sure why it's not automatic, but it's a minor extra step.

  • Contacts no longer syncing from iphone to imac

    If I create a new contact, or change an existing one, on my iPhone, it does not show up in Contacts on my iMac. Have I missed some critical iCloud setting?

    Check that your phone and your imac are both signed into the same iCloud account. Check that Contacts are switched on, check that you are entering new contacts into the iCloud account (on your phone)
    Go to www.icloud.com and enter a new contact, check that the new contact appears on your phone.

  • Games restarting after sync from iPhone to iPad

    I just got the iPad 2 and synced my apps from my iPhone 3GS. All of the games I transferred restarted on my iPad. How do I get it so the games are the same on both devices?

    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?

  • Aperture adjustments don't sync to iphone or ipad

    Any adjustments - color, crop, etc - made to previously synced albums or projects don't update on the iPhone or iPad. Why would iTunes intentionally sync just the master and never versions, especially while not making it an option? When streamed, like to Apple TV, iTunes sends the latest version.
    All software on all devices is the most current version/update.
    This issue has been discussed previously, the latest I could find is here:
    Why aren't Aperture edits reflected on the iPad?
    I've tried all the suggestions around updating previews, etc with no success. Deleting the iPod cache each time is kinda silly. Any thoughts or suggestions would be very helpful! I find this to be a very frustrating little feature that Apple has thrown in
    I think I'll try syncing with iPhoto, as it's a shared library now. Perhaps that will solve (kind of) the problem.
    Thanks
    Peter

    Hey Canyonlight,
    If you have iTunes Match then iTunes does not sync with your iOS devices. All syncing is done directly to iTunes Match, which does not see your playlists. See this article for an explanation -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Ibook sync from iPhone to iPad not happening?

  • Contacts cannot be synced from iPhone to iCloud

    Some existing and newly created contacts on the iPhone do not sync to iCloud but at the same time contacts created from iPad will appear quickly on the iPhone.
    Why and how to fix it?

    Thanks Randers4.  You guess is right!  The Default Account was set to On My iPhone.  I'm sure I set it to iCloud and have no idea why and when it was changed to "On My iPhone".
    Now, how can I identify all those contacts stored On My iPhone and move them to the Account iCloud?

  • TS3999 Calendars don't sync between Iphone and Ipad.

    When a calendar entry is added from my wife's phone to mine there is no entry, but it's on my mini-pad instead. Why is it on one device and not the other? I have chosen sync and all events in settings , but is still doesn't work for both devices, only the min-pad. I can add an event manually, but can't receive any notifications on the calendar if its sent to my Iphone. Please advise, thanks.

    It requires that you set up the same iCloud account on all your devices (Settings > iCloud) or at least that you share some of the calendars between you and your wife (in case that you are using two separate iCloud accounts which is by the way recommended).
