Not all my contacts are syncing across all my devices

I'm trying to set up groups of contacts for my iPhone 4s. in order to do that I'm told I have to do it on my desktop computer. It is impossible to do it on my iPhone. However, not all of my contacts are on the computer as are on my iPhone. Most all the contacts are on the computer except for the ones I need. I have checked iCloud on both my desktop and my iPhone and iCloud is switched on for mail, and contacts along with a few others. What else do I need to do to get all my contacts to my desktop so I can make a group?
Also, if iPhone is so good why couldn't I do it on my iPhone?

Hello,
Try exporting a vCard for them all & uploading that file to iCloud...

My mails are syncing across all my devices but the ones read differ from devices

my mails are syncing across all my devices but the ones read differ from each device.

Make sure you are fully updated.
OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo) 1.91 GB

If you Control-Click (Right-click) on a folder, select Synchronize now. Does this help? If not you might want to select folder then select Rebuild under Mailbox in the Menu bar.

Having a sudden problem in that not all my contacts are syncing

Never had a problem before but now some of my contacts (on my MacBook) no longer sync to my iPhone 3.
Always the same ones. Nothing to do with groups as I don't have any.
Have synced with the replace contacts on the iPhone with those on the MB but all still do not sync neither does syncing with the contacts option unticked which deleted all contacts on the iPhone but when resyncing with contacts synced the same ones were still missing on the iPhone.
Any ideas much appreciated
Should add that I am syncing via USB as no iCloud etc.

Not all my passwords are synced across. Are there certain cases when it is not supposed to?

I have two computers, one at work and my personal laptop. Both are set up to use FF4 sync, and I checked, passwords are enabled to be synced. However, I found that certain passwords are not synced (well, one at least) -- I thought adding the page as a favourite might help but no luck. The password is still not synced. Are there circumstances in which passwords should not sync (by design)? Or is this some bug?
Thanks for the great browser, guys and gals!

It's possible that particular Password is somehow "broken" to sync. In which case, Sync will skip it.
To correct it; 
- Delete the entry that isn't syncing from your passwords. 
- Sync Now 
- Then visit the page for the password, add the password 
- Sync Now, again 
- Finally, Sync Now, from other machine.

Contacts and Calendar not sync across all devices

Installed mavericks a few weeks ago. Just looked at a contact on my iPad and iPhone and noted that changes made on my MacBook Pro are not showing up on either of these 2 devices. What is going on? I used to sync manually using iTunes. Tried this just now and does not update info in either calendar or contacts. I used to see :syncing Calendar, syncing contacts in the window describing progress - this does not appear.
Very very confused. Syncing across all devices very important. spend a lot of time in rural areas with no access to wi-fi. Am I trapped in iCloud only? if so How does that work?? Help!

Still confused - now I have multiple copies of the same event on my MacBook Pro, and iPad, and not at all on my i iPhone,
Just created a dummy contact on my iPad, and it appeared on MacBook Pro but not on iPhone. turned off iPhone and turned back on and new contact appeared.
My calendar on iPhone has no data from the time I started using Mavericks until a dummy event I added this afternoon. Do I need to turn my iPhone off and then back on to get it to sync? even with turning off and on the missing calendar items have not appeared.
I am a bit reluctant (afraid) to go to the web and look at my iCloud.com account for fear of sending yet another copy of the same calendar appointments and duplicate contacts / contacts info to myself on my devices. I have multiple copies of the same contact on my MacBook Pro. some of the contacts have 3 or 4 duplicates of the same information - example "home phone" or "e-mail address." Sometimes I have 3 or 4 copies of the same contact card.
Hope you are having a better day, I am completely confused and more than a bit frustrated. Has anyone written an app to replace sync services in Mavericks? I would gladly pay for it!

I just got the iPhone 5. It's completely synced and working. All my contacts are loaded. However, caller ID is not working when I receive a call or a text. Can anyone help me out with this?

Well, assuming all of the above, Notifications, etc., it just might be time for a visit to the Apple tore genius center for a session with the techs. See if it is a fault in the hardware or just an iOS reinstall is the answer.
One more thing you could try, backup so you have a record of content, then restore to factory conditions be an Erase All Contents and Settings. Then restore from the backup you just made. That has helped some with WiFi problems, may be it would work with your problems.
But with that behavior of another app with problems, the geniuses looks like a less stressful thing to do.

HT4759 not all my contacts are being sync from my IPad or IPhone to ICloud?

When backing up IPhone 5s or Mini IPad retina, not all my contacts are backing up or showing in ICloud?

I assume that you have enabled contacts syncing with iCloud in Settings>iCloud on your devices. If so, and some of your contacts don't appear on icloud.com, open the contacts app and tap Groups. Do you have any non-iCloud accounts listed such as On My iPhone (iPad), Gmail, Yahoo or an exchange account?
Also, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section). Do you have the Default Account setting there, and if so, what is selected as your default account?

Photos not syncing across all devices

This is more of a frustrated rant than it is a question. I have 3 devices, iPhone, iPad and Macbook pro.. all synced to iCloud. I am constantly having trouble with my photos not being in sync across all the devices.. i.e. my recent photos from my iPad were synced to my iPhone but they aren't showing up in iPhoto on my Macbook pro. Photos taken on those same days but using my iPhone did sync to my MacBook Pro. The iPad and iPhone are in sync together..
This is a maddening problem and I hope.. REALLY HOPE that upgrading to 10.3.3 and the new PHOTOS app FINALLY gets this right because up to know, I consider iCloud a fail due to inconsistencies like above.

I have just set up icloud and all my contacts are duplicated from Address Book! My new iPhone is also showing duplicate contacts even though they are not duplicated in my address book on my computer. Please can you help?

Also, what are the source of your contacts? are they created on the phone, or you synced from yahoo/hotmail etc.
If thats the case, the circular arrow wont be visible but instead show "groups"
Contacts from different accounts are not synced to iCloud.

Hi stanlaw,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The information below should help you with this.
Associating and verifying email addresses with your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68
How to verify the primary email address for your Apple ID
When you first create an Apple ID (using your email address) a verification email will be sent to that address. If you sign in to your Apple ID from the link in that email, the email address will be verified as the primary email address for your Apple ID. You can also resend the email verification if the email address is not verified:
1. Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account information.
2. Click Resend under Primary Email Address.
3. Verify your changes by following the link in the email you will receive from Apple and signing back in to your account.
I hope this information helps ....
Happy Holidays!

Emails are not being recieved by one recipient, all other contacts are recieving email

When I send emails to one particular company in my contact the emails are never received on their end its not even hitting their server. All other contacts are receiving emails from me.

I would guess they either have an edge device or a smart hosting arrangement with some company that is dropping the mail as spam for some reason.
Your mail provider will have server logs that will at least be able to identify the response their server got when it attempted to deliver the mail.
One thing to keep in mind is that the email protocols do not guarantee delivery, and many companies and ISPs rely on that in they spam policies.
