Hi chrisbjo,
Happy Holidays!  The resource below will provide some steps to try to resolve the syncing issue you are having with your contacts.
Get help using iCloud Contacts - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS3998
OS X Lion or later
You can use these steps with Contacts on OS X Mountain Lion or later or Address Book on OS X Lion. After each step, check to see if the issue still exists.
Make sure iCloud Contacts is on
Choose Apple () > System Preferences, click iCloud, and select Contacts. 
See which version of OS X you're using
Make sure that you're using OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later. Learn how to see which version of OS X you're using.
Check your Internet connection
Try to go to www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud contacts won't update in Contacts or Address Book. Get help with your Internet connection.
Open a secure website to see if you can access ports 80 and 443. Safari requires access to port 443 to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Contacts servers.
Check your account details
Choose Apple () > System Preferences, and click iCloud. Make sure that you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices.
Refresh Contacts or Address Book
If recent changes don't appear in Contacts or Address Book, try to refresh by quitting and reopening the app.
Check your settings
Make sure that the contacts are syncing through iCloud and not through a third-party, such as Google or Yahoo. iCloud won't sync contacts that are associated with a different service.
Open Contacts (or Address Book on OS X Lion).
Click All [iCloud Account Name] in the left sidebar.
Search for the contact that wasn't syncing properly.
If the contact isn't visible, then the contact exists in a third-party account, not iCloud.
You can import the contact from a third-party account into iCloud.
If recent changes to contacts on OS X don't appear on your other devices and you're syncing contacts with multiple accounts on your device (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo), make sure that iCloud is your default account for Contacts:
Open Contacts (or Address Book on OS X Lion).
Choose Contacts > Preferences (or Address Book > Preferences on OS X Lion).
On the General tab, make sure that your iCloud account is the default.
After setting up iCloud Contacts, you might need to quit and reopen Contacts or Address Book on your Mac. Then make sure that you set up your account correctly in Contacts or Address Book:
Open Contacts (or Address Book on OS X Lion).
Choose Contacts > Preferences (or Address Book > Preferences on OS X Lion).
Click Accounts.
Make sure that your iCloud account has the correct name in the Apple ID field.
Turn iCloud Contacts off and back on
Quit Contacts (or Address Book on OS X Lion).
Choose Apple () > System Preferences and click iCloud.
Deselect Contacts.
Click Keep Contacts.
Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
Open System Preferences and choose iCloud.
Select Contacts.
Open Contacts (or Address Book).
Restart your computer
Restart your computer and check the issue.
iCloud.com
If you have issues with web-based iCloud contacts at icloud.com/contacts, check your browser.
Go to iCloud Help and search for information about your issue.
If you don't see updates from other devices or Contacts doesn't appear as expected, switch to another app. To switch, click iCloud in the upper-left corner of the browser window, then select the app, such as Calendar, you wish to use.
Go back to Contacts.
If you still see the issue, sign out of iCloud:
Click your name in the upper-right corner.
Choose Sign Out.
Sign back in.
I hope this information helps ....

  • Why don't my iCloud contacts sync on mini pad with iPhone?

    Why don't my iCloud contacts sync on mini pad with iPhone?

    When you add a contact to your iPad Mini, does it appear on icloud.com when you check from your computer?

  • ICloud Contacts Sync with Outlook 2007

    I have an iPhone5 and an iPad2. I have been using iCloud to sync Contacts between these two devices for a few days without any problems.
    Today I installed iCloud Control Panel on my PC (running Windows 7 and Outlook 2007) to let me keep Contacts in sync between my iPhone5, iPad2 and Outlook.
    Everything seems to be working correctly and Contacts are in sync between all three devices. However, in Outlook I see a message at the bottom of the window which says "Synchronising Hierarchy" - there is a rotating icon to the right of the message. This message has been displayed for the last 3 hours.
    Does this indicate some aspect of sync is still in progress or is there a problem?
    Thanks in anticipation of your help.

    On his phone, sign in Settings>iCloud and enable Mail so that he can have his own email address. Then add your account in Settings>Mail, Contacts & Calendars and enable Contacts and Calendars. They will then appear on his phone alongside any syncing he has set up. This will keep your emails separate, or you can add Mail as well so that you can both access that if you want. You can add his account in the same way on your phone and enable any data types you want to sync.

  • IPhone, Google & iCloud contact syncing issues

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having some issues getting my contacts synced correctly between my iPhone and Google account. I have searched a few forums looking for an answer for this particular problem and haven't found a solution yet so my apologies if I'm just missing something here.
    I have always synced my contacts via my Gmail account. In my Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars section, I have iCloud set up and then Gmail set up through Exchange for Contacts ONLY. If I added a contact on my iPhone, it would always sync directly to my Gmail Contact Manager. I only noticed that there is an issue all of a sudden because I was given an iPad mini as a gift recently and noticed that not all of my contacts synced. I checked my Gmail Contact Manager this seems to be because any of the contacts I have added on my iPhone since probably last December are NOT listed. If I log into iCloud and check my contacts there, the only contact listed is me as I have always only had contacts listed which are from my Google account.
    If I go into my Contacts app and hit Groups at the top left, all I see is Gmail/Exchange, Contacts (checked), Gmail/Exchange Global Address List (unchecked - if I try to click this no contacts appear at all), iCloud, All iCloud (checked). If I go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and scroll down to the Contacts section, the Default Account is listed as Gmail/Exchange. I have tried clicking "Import SIM Contacts" to no avail, changing the Default Account and clicking and unclicking Groups.
    Where are the contacts I have added since December(ish) being stored? If they're not in my Google contacts nor in iCloud? How can I make them sync to my Google account again? Is there a way to "push"(?) everything to Google that I'm missing?
    Thank you all in advance!

    Best way is to use a 3rd party app managing groups. Easy Group is a free one I have developped.
    Launch it, all your groups will automatically appear
    Tap on "Edit"
    Tap on red cross next to the groups you want to delete

  • ICloud contacts sync questions

    Since I got an iPhone and followed the advice of the salesman at the Apple store, essentially to "Turn everything on" in iCloud, things have gotten hopelessly confused.
    Both Address Book and Calendar now have seperate, (almost) duplicate sets of entries, titled "On my Mac" and "ICloud".   Making an entry in one place does not necessarily mean that it will show up in the other.
    I want to keep a local copy of everything on all my devices, and I want them all to be the same. 
    I want to have a way to compare both lists and see what differences there are so I can reconcile them.
    I have never had this problem with my old Android phone and my Google account!
    Please, someone explain how "On my Mac" and "Icloud" interact and how I can get them properly synchronized.  I'm afraid to do anything at this point for fear of losing all my information!
    TIA
    Walt

    Only data listed under 'iCloud' can sync - in fact it isn't actually syncing as such, because the data lives on the server and is read from there by your Mac and devices.
    Data listed under 'On My Mac' is, as it says, on your Mac and is not connected to iCloud: therefore this data cannot be seen on the iCloud website or on other devices signed into iCloud.
    The intention is that all your data should be kept on iCloud in order to facilitate syncin, and that you should not keep data listed under 'On My Mac'.

  • Google CONTACT sync with iCloud Contact sync?!

    i am trying to finalize a sync of my contacts so that i have PHONE NUMBERS sorted in groups on my iPhone but i /also/ have email addresses to use in the autocomplete function in Mail on my phone.
    if i don't have the Phone Numbers sorted into groups i will not be able to find anything and if i don't have emails in the autocomplete then i have to literally run a search in (what i have found to be a weak search function on the iPhone in Mail) then i have to find an email sent from this person, then i have to COPY the address than i have to paste it into an email.
    i /currently/ have a sync using iCloud of my MOST IMPORTANT phone numbers and the "Previous Recipients" email data that i have run a applescript to get into AB/Contacts. So now the phone numbers and this Previous Recipients data is available to all devices.
    i won't bore you with the details but i am finally uploading everything else (business cards etc, etc) to Google Contacts.
    does anyone have any suggestions at this point as to whether i can ADD a sync with Google presumably by checking something in iTunes OR whether there is a way to add a GMail as a Microsoft Exchange Account?

    SHOULD I JUST EXPORT MY CONTACTS/ADDRESS BOOK DATA and import it to Google and just do a Google sync?
    CAN I DO BOTH SYNCS AT THE SAME TIME?
    WILL THE GOOGLE DATA SHOW UP in autocomplete in MAIL on all my devices?
    anyone done this in a way that works?!
    THANKS

    Preference -> Accounts
    Under accounts you have your local On My Mac account, which Apple supplies the ability to sync with google and yahoo. Then there is no way to sync it with icloud. When you add your icloud account as well you just have 2 seperate address books in the same app, with no way to keep them in sync.
    Do you mean like this?
    I don't seem to be having any issue adding an iCloud account to address book.

  • Iphone 4 Voice Control not working Properly after iCloud Contacts sync

    Hi All,
    I am facing a strange problem. Recently I enabled iCloud settings to sync contacts from my iPhone to iCloud.
    It asked me that do I want to merge the contacts from iCloud onto this iPhone. Obviously I clicked yes.
    What it did was actually not sync all but around 1/3 of my contact list and erasing the remaining. The other 2/3 of my contact list wasn't on both iCloud or iPhone.
    So I decided to restore my iPhone from the backup i took just before enabling iCloud. But I forgot to switch off the iCloud settings for not syncing Contacts.
    Although I recovered all my contacts from the backup, my voice control has stopped recognizing my remaining 2/3 of the contact list that did not actually sync.
    It can recognize all the contacts that were synced with iCloud, but not the ones that got erased.
    After backup restore, iCloud settings was switched to off state and I did not dare enabling it back on.
    Has anyone observed this behaviour? I just cannot seem to get the voice control recognize the remaining 2/3 contacts at all. I tried renaming the contact that it recognized to some other name and it still does not recognize the new ones.
    Please help me find out the reason for this  and how can i fix it?

    I'm getting this too. It's very slow and apparently thinks "Call Sue Newport" sounds like "Call Halfords" or "Call Halyards" and, most surprisingly "Call First Great Western".
    I was wearing my Jawbone Bluetooth headset so it's nothing to do with background noise.
    I tried the new "What time is it?" command which works but takes about 10-15 seconds to activate.

    Tell iCloud what to sync.
    Have you installed the iCloud control panel on the computer?  Without that, nothing will sync from the computer to iCloud.

  • Frustrating question about icloud contact syncing

    I have several macs and an iphone. I have them all (well, the ones running new enough software...) syncing contacts via icloud.
    It works.  Except sometimes when in-explicitly, it does not.  For example, i have a contact i updated, and while others updated on other devices, this did not.  I checked icloud settings on all devices - correct.
    Finally i saw a little grey list that said "on my mac" and "icloud". When i clicked on them, voila, they were different.  Ok, edited the icloud one, and it suddenly updated (duh).  But that's inconvenient. How did this happen?  I cant manually edit all 2500 cards....
    Any takers?
    TIA,
    Grant

    Try exporting the contacts from On My Mac and then import them into iCloud. You can then check for duplicates and retain the correct contact information.

    I have two contact groups on my iPhone with no contacts in them.  How do I delete them from my iPhone?  They are annoying. I have read multiple threads on this topic and still can't figure it out.
    Also, after backing up to iCloud - not one of my 84 contacts actually backed up?  Is there some setting I am missing? Only one contact showed up and it was my own name and email address?
    Any help would be great.

    Bonjour,
    J'ai donc commencé par exporter sur mon Mac, en vCard, tous mes contacts depuis l'appli "Contacts", ensuite je suis allé dans Utilisateurs/Bibliothèque/Application Support/AddressBook et j'ai supprimé tout ce qu'il y avait dedans !
    J'ai alors re-démarré "Contacts", j'ai initialisé le compte iCloud que je souhaitais revoir dans mes contacts et ces contacts qui étaient sur le Cloud sont revenus dans "Contacts" et également dans le dossier que j'avais vidé précédemment !
    Mais ne pas oublier d'exporter sur ton Mac tous tes contacts avant de vider le dossier "AddressBook" pour être certain de ne pas les perdre !
    Voilà et j'ai donc retrouvé mes 3450 fiches de contact et Groupes modifiables depuis "Contacts"
    Bonne journée.

  • Contacts syncing then disappearing then resyncing on iPhone/iPad with Exchange Activesync 2010

    Using iPhone 4S and iPad with 5.0.1 and Exchange 2010 activesync, user has about 1600 contacts, inbox is clear/empty.  ISSUE: After migrating client to Windows 7 and Exchange 2010, contacts on devices sync slowly but rarely get to the total number of 1600.  Gets to about 1000 contacts after 1hr of syncing, but sometimes resets after a few hundred contacts appearing. Randomly, the phone/ipad will stop syncing and all synced contacts disappear, then start resyncing again.  Have set up this users login on another iPhone 4S with 5.0.1 and same issue occurs. Is not device dependent nor is the reset timer consistent so we don't believe it's a timeout issue - reset time is random. Prior to migration, user didn't experience this issue.  We cleared the inbox to ensure large emails weren't causing a server timeout. Inbox and calendar appear synced. Have tried all combinations of push/fetch/# of mails etc, but sure it's not device or setup dependent.  It seems something in the new server combination with 5.0.1 or perhaps a "bad" contact that the server encounters will cause the contact list "reset" and begin resyncing.  Seems to be an isolated case in this enterprise server/space.  On the iPads/iPhones, other contacts or mailboxes are synced, no local contacts on iTunes, and Cloud is turned entirely off. Have checked contacts for "large" contacts - total contact list folder is < 20MB due to some card images.  Would appreciate any help or suggestions. Alan.

    I have the same issue in my iPhone 4S (IOS 5.1.1). 3 others in my company have the same situation.
    The problem started last Friday. I have not changed anything in my iPhone.
    I tried turning off iCloud contacts sync, I tried recreate my Exchange account. I tried a complete reinstall.
    After that I could do a full sync on Sunday.
    On Monday I lost my contacts again and I could no longer do a full sync. I have 1200 contacts and I can not sync more than 400, the synchronization stops and all contacts disappear, then the resynchronization starts again.
