Not all data on contact syncs to the iCloud

I have many notes within my contacts in my address book. Since upgrading to icloud, only some of the data within the notes field is syncing. The worst part is, since it syncs half the information to the cloud and then syncs the incomplete contact card back to my mac it permanently erases the data!
Has anyone noticed this problem? Does it seem possible that I have identified the issue correctly?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I assume you mean sync, not backup.
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.

  • How do I backup/restore all my voicemails?  Not all of them were restored from the iCloud to my new iOS.

    I have a new iPhone 6. I went through the steps of transferring data from my prior iPhone 4s using iCloud, but none of the voicemails from 2012 were restored. Everything else was transferred completely.  Any ideas why, and what I can do to get the remaining voicemails transferred over?  They are still sitting in my old phone.  Thanks!

    Hi,
    Each track should have a download icon. If no icon is shown, this suggest that your library is still pointing to the original track. If you try to play a track do you see " ! " against the track. If so, you have two options:
    1. Select track and right click then delete - do not tick delete from cloud. Download icon now shown.
    2. Create new library, point to location you wish to download then turn on match. You will see all music you have in match.
    By the way, it would be easier and quicker to restore your music from your back up.

    When you connect the iPhone to sync with the new computer,  a number of things will happen. If the new computer/iTunes does not contain any music, then yes, you will receive a prompt saying this iPhone is synced to another library, and if you continue, you will lose your music. However, you risk losing a number of other things, such as apps, contacts and calendar data. When you ask about photos, any photos that you have on the iPhone that were synced from the previous computer would also be lost. You need to save the photo folder from the old laptop and transfer that to the new desktop. You also need to sync the contacts and calendar to the same supported application that you were using in the past, such as Outlook, unless you are using an outside web-based sync, such as Google. Also, when you first connect the iPhone, it will make a backup, or at least make sure that it does before you attempt to sync, or you will not have a backup of some of the other things, such as mail settings, SMS, and the contents of the Camera Roll. I would import the photos from the camera roll to the new computer before trying to do anything else in iTunes.

  • Help!!! My husband by accident synced his account under my account and has merged all of our contacts.  In the process of fixing the mixup has deleted contacts on both phones.  How do I restore the contact list from the original contact list.

    I hope that you aren't complaining about dropped calls INSIDE your condo because no amount of switching or upgrading devices will solve that.
    VZW will not guarantee service inside of any structure. There are just too many factors. If the problem is inside then you might want to look at one of the following:
    1.) Network Extender (may cause issues for others in a condo or apartment style setting)
    2.) A Google Voice Number (Free with a Gmail email address), downloading Google Hangouts Dialer and forwarding your calls to the GVN so that you can make and receive calls over Wi-Fi.

  • How to download all data (music.contacts,apps) from iPhone to a new PC ?

    How to download all data (music.contacts,apps) from iPhone to a new PC ?
    I mean to say that I downloaded mp3 songs from websites (not from iTunes) which I synced in my iPhone 4 using ''Manaually Manage Music''.
    Now I am in my homecountry for vacations and don't have the laptop in which my iTune library is synced and I need to add more songs to my iPhone but when I put more songs to my iPhone it tells me that all current data from iPhone will be deleted.
    Please help!

    The iphone is not a backup device.  The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases.
    " I need to add more songs to my iPhone but when I put more songs to my iPhone it tells me that all current data from iPhone will be deleted."
    That is correct.

  • How to change the contact sync settings for icloud? please advise

    how to change the contact sync settings for icloud? please advise?

    There are no settings to change. Assuming you are using Lion 10.7.2 (or 10.7.3) - which you should be - you simply sign in in System Preferences>iCloud and check 'Contacts' and any other data you want to sync.
    If you are using an earlier system you will not be able to sync your contacts, and there is no workaround. However you can sync them with Google or Yahoo contacts, though I don't know how well this works.

    Probably not enough memory on your device. Also, if most of the songs on your library are ripped from cds, you will not be able to transfer those from your device to your computer. Try checking the articles below:

    You need to copy everything back using your backup copy.

  • HELP iPhone 5 got reformatted while being updated. not all datas recovered from iCloud.

    I recently updated my iphone5 with iOS 7.0.3 but while updating it was reformatted. I tried to recover my apps and photos from iCloud but not all datas were recovered. I am sure that I was able to back up my phone regularly. Only new photos were recovered the older ones which were the first ones that I backed up cant be found. Can I still recover those datas?

    Restoring the backup should recover the photos that were in the camera roll at the time of the backup.  If that didn't happen, all you can do is try restoring the backup again.  You might try some of the tips mentioned in this discussion thread that other's found useful when they had a similar problem, such as the one by ezjules: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589.

  • My Droid2 Global will not pair to My Ford SYNC since the latest software update.  Please help!

    Since the latest update, my Droid2 will not pair to my Ford SYNC.  The phone will not find SYNC for me to place in the PIN.  It use to work wonderful before the latest update.  
    I can not drive and talk on my phone without SYNC.  Corporate Car- Corporate Policy.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello rosalee2340,
    Thank you for sharing your concern as I am more than happy to assist you! Are you able to successfully pair your Droid 2 with another bluetooth device, like an earpiece or a computer? This will help us determine if there is an issue with the bluetooth technology after the software update or is it a compatibility issue. Also, what year and model vehicle do you have? In order to successfully pair with the vehicle, the Droid 2 must be in discovery mode. Below is a link to walk thru placing the Droid 2 into discovery mode.
    http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=34745
    Once the phone is in discovery mode, the next step would be to attempt to pair with SYNC again. Here is a video link with the steps on how to pair a phone with SYNC.
    http://syncsupport.ford.com/servlet/technology/connect-phone-sync
    If the pairing is unsuccessful then you can contact the dealership for assistance with the pairing process and/or for an updated device compatibility list of phone. Let me know how the steps above works out for you.
    Thank you...

  • I am getting entries which are 'all day' entries duplicated 8 to 9 times. I have updated my software on the phone to the latest version. Entries in iCal are only once.  I have completely emptied my iPhone of all data. Has Apple resolved the issue yet?

    Simple solution. Get a real internet service and not a cell phone internet connection service it was never meant to be used as the primary internet service
    And how do you lose a home and job and be sued as you claim. What over 10 Gb of data? Give me a break
    In my city small claims is $5000.00
    And over that amount you can go to a superior court to have your issue settled.

  • Error "Not all data could be changed in LC" when running DP macro

    We are getting the error, "Not all data could be changed in LC" when running DP macros and we are not sure why. It seems to only happen when we are executing it via a Process Chain but not using the DP background processing scheduling. Does anyone know why this is happening?

    Hi Stacy,
                         I hope you are seeing this in message spool.  This message comes up for various reasons. We used to see a message saying "No data saved".
    Some of the reasons could be " the new value (lets say 3 ) after the macro execution is same as after execution (3)".
    See if some of the values are fixed and could not be changed.
    I would take a selection id with just few values and execute the job for that selection id and compare the pre and after results. That should answer all your questions.

    greetings from austria

    You cannot undo commands. When you delete/remove files with the rm command the files are not put in the trash where they could be recovered. They are gone.
    You should have your system backed up with Time machine and/or backup clone of your system. Use them to recover you files.
