Notes added to contact on iPhone don't make it to computer

Hi all,
If I create a new contact on my iPhone, and add a note field, any notes I put there will show upon the contact's card in my Address Book the very next time I sync. Any notes I add to the contact on the computer sync over to the phone no problem.
BUT... notes I add to an existing contact on the iPhone, don't sync back to the contact in Address Book.
Am I missing something?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chip

A couple of things that might help out.
First try resetting your iphone by holding down the home button and power button at the same time until you see just the apple logo in the middle of the screen.

Also, you can try resetting the sync history on your computer.
To do this quit all the applications you have open on the computer.
Then open isync found in your applications folder.
Next open the isync preferences.
You should see a button to reset sync history.
It might take a few seconds for this button to become available.
Click the button to reset sync history.
Quit isync.
Now open itunes, connect the iphone and sync contacts again.
Hope this helps.

  • ITunes does not allow music purchased on iPhone to be sent to my computer

    So, I "purchased" (thankfully only FREE songs) two songs on my iPhone and I was told I could simply download them onto the computer when i connected. Well I can't, so I tried to download again but it told me they were already downloaded and should be there....they weren't. I followed the instructions to "check for available downloads" and I was told there weren't any.
    Long story short the ONLY way I can get those two songs is to download them again. THANKFULLY it is a MONDAY and they are STILL FREE!!!
    ***?? seriously Apple, help me out here. I suppose I MIGHT NEVER MAKE A PURCHASE ON THE GO since i cannot have that song to play on my AUTHORIZED Computer. Guess that will help me not make too many purchases!!!!!

    iTunes does not allow music purchased on iPhone to be sent to my computer
    Yes it does.
    Well I can't,
    Why not? What happens?
    I followed the instructions to "check for available downloads" and I was told there weren't any. Because you already downloaded them to your phone. You only get one download.
    Plug in your iPhone, select it in iTunes then File > Transfer purchases.

  • 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.

  • Names not appearing with contacts on iPhone 4 after adding iPad Mini

    Yesterday we added my daughter's iPad Mini to my account, synced it up in iTunes and used the cloud.  She deleted a bunch of my contacts from her iPad.  Now they are not in my contact list on my phone.  However, if I start to type a text I see their names but when I select the name and start typing, the name disappears and I only see their number.  Also, if I look at my list of recent texts the names that sent them are all gone and just their numbers appear.  Does anyone know how I can reconnect the names with the numbers and also restore my contact list?  Thank you in advance!

    Well I answered my own question.  I just deactivated all the other accounts on my iPhone except iCloud, and all the duplicates disappeared.  Before I did this, I merged duplciate cards on the MacBook Pro (from the Contacts Card menu selection).  iCloud needs to be selected as the default account on all your devices, and it seems that other accounts need to be deactivated.  Be careful - deactivating an account also erases entries associated with only that account.

  • Contact groups. My contacts get removed from the groups, not from All Contacts. I don't know why this happens. Anyone know why?

    Sometimes the contacts in certain groups are removed and the group is empty.  They do not get deleted, and are still in All Contacts, just get removed from the group.  Then I have to start all over again and add contacts to the groups.  This seems to happen randomly and I don't know why it does.  My contacts are synced with my Yahoo contacts.  I don't know if thats why.  Does this happen to anyone else?

    Thank You, thank You ...so much......that feature made me crazy!

  • ICloud does not transfer files, contacts, Pages, etc to my iPad and Mac Computer from my iPhone How can I correct this problem

    icloud suddenly stopped transferring files approximately 48 hours ago and that includes, contacts, Pages, etc to my iPad and Mac Computer from my iPhone How can I correct this problem?  prior to that I had no problems with icloud transfers. what suggestions are there to remedy this problem?.

    On your iPad and iPhone tap Settigs > iCloud
    Switch Documents & Data off then back on. Do the same for Contacts.
    On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to Documents & Data, same for Contacts then reselect both boxes then restart your Mac.

  • HT4993 How do I remove podcast stations, not individual podcasts, from my iphone 5 and make it sync with my pc?

    How do I remove podcast stations, not individual podcasts, from my iphone 5?

    Contacts and calender you can put on icloud then sync to your new phone when its setup to the icloud account. Not sure so with emails.

  • Images on iPhone don't make the jump to iCloud using Photostream

    This has more than likely been raised before, but I need to know why some images just will not get pushed from my iPhone to iCloud via Photostream.
    The last couple of days I have been out & about and on each day I have taken approx 35 photos. When I get home, it sits around waiting for a while, then eventually, through the wi-fi, it starts to push the images to iCloud. However, out of say, 35 images, it might push just 30. But it won't be the last 5 that it misses, it will be random images throughout the 35.
    This means I then have to upload the missing images (not easy if a lot of images are pretty similar) to Dropbox and add them manually - pain in the a*s.
    There seems to be no reason for this. Is there a limit on how many images will upload at once? Why does it miss some and not others? Do you need to be plugged in to the mains and charging fro it to work properly? Or is this just another Apple glitch which will hopefully be resolved in the next iOS update??
    Thanks.

    You can try resetting it to see if that turns it on, but if it does not work, the iPhone is probably damaged from the fall and you should take it to an Apple Store so that they can have a look and determine if it is repairable.  An out of warranty replacement will cost you money but much less than if you had to buy a new phone.

  • Is there an easy way of creating a distribution list from an email with multiple addresses? Those addresses are not in your contacts already, and don't need to be.

    I want to be able to take all the email addresses someone else has used to distribute an email and create the same distribution list for myself for future use.  I don't want to add all those people to anywhere in my contacts list.  I just want them to be in my "new distribution list", like "soccer families", etc.  I tried to copy and paste, but didn't get anywhere. Maybe I was close, or maybe it isn't possible.  Thoughts?

    I don't want them in contacts because they are simply a related group (like my sons current soccer team).  People I may never need to email again after a sports season.  I don't want to have to have these people in my contacts permanently. 
    You don't. When the season is over, delete them.
    But, the text clipping should work.
    The next IOS should have a feature "create mailing list from distribution list".  A fast and simple way to retain a distribution list from an email you received.  People get copied all the time using distribution lists they may want to reuse easily, like school, sports or work groups.  Oh well.
    How is that any different from adding them to Contacts? Here's the feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    There is a set of Mail Scripts that has a function to Add Addresses from an email to any group. But, it doesn't work with Mountain Lion.

  • Contacts on Mavericks 10.9.1 is slow and not adding new contacts. Can anyone assist with a fix?

    Can anyone assist? For the past week I have been unable to add new contacts to the application and am having to input them manually. It takes a while too, as the app has sloed down tremendously.
    I have around 1900 contacts in there but can't imagine that is the reason?
    Can anyone assist in whether I can fix the problem or update anything? Or suggest an alternative contacts application?

    I had a similar issue as you did -- for a few weeks now I've been suffering through agonizingly slow Contacts performance.
    The way I resolved it was:
    1) Quit Contacts
    2) Go to system preferences and go into iCloud, then uncheck contacts -- choosing to delete from mac.
    3) Go into system preferences and to Internet Accounts and again uncheck contacts under any of the accounts it's enabled on (gmail, yahoo, etc).
    4) Go to your user's library folder (easiest way is to open a finder window, hold down the option key on the keyboard and from the Go menu, select Library).
    5) Delete anything referring to Address book or com.apple.address book....   -- check these folders in particular:
         - Address Book
         - Application Support
         - Caches
         - Preferences
    6) Restart your computer
    7) Go back into System preferences and enable contacts from wherever you want (iCloud, etc.)
    8) If it's not quite enabling (appears to enable, but checkbox doesn't show), then do one more restart of the computer.
    9) Now open Contacts and allow it to sync

  • HT201239 "Card not added.  contact card issuer" anyone have this issue

    I repeatedly get this message when submitting my Wells Fargo debit Visa card. Spent hours on the phone with both Apple and Wells Fargo Tech support.  They could not fix.  I've gone as far as canceling my card number and getting an entirely new card number but to no avail. Please help.

    First make sure you are using the latest drivers...
    http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Download/Eleven-Rack-Drivers
    However the latest ones are not yet confirmed as working to OS X 10.10.3 so you may need to wait for an update from Avid....
    Test and see....
    Note: It's always a good idea not to update OS X or Logic Pro until after you have checked if there are working drivers for your external hardware first.. especially, in my personal opinion... in the case of Avid hardware drivers which are know to lag behind in development..

  • HT5868 I accidentally hit "Don't Trust" and now my iPhone won't sync to my computer. It won't ask me to trust it again even when I restart everything. Now what?

    When I connected my phone to my computer I accidentally clicked "don't trust" and now I can't change the setting to allow my phone to "trust" my computer even though it has trusted it before I downloaded the new update. What do I need to do to be able to connect my phone to my computer again?

    Ok, this just happened to me and none of the above seemed to work. But, I have found a solution that worked for me:
    go to settings > general > reset > then click 'reset all settings' (only click if you happy to reset all settings)
    Obviously, this will reset all your settings but not lose content.
    My iphone 5S was attached to the computer and itunes throughout this process .... it will power down, restart and you will notice the sync icon start to whirr!
    Obviously once redone you will have to reset security thumb/passcode - but your sync should now be working!!!
