Only 90% of Contacts synced to iPhone

I recently got my new iPhone and started then to add my Contacts to the Addressbook on my MacBook.
My issue is that iTunes syncs only 48 of my 57 Contacts from the Addressbook to my iPhone. Can anyone help?
thanks
Bruno

First try resetting sync history in iSync. of that fails to fix the problem it means that you have one or more entries in Address Book that are corrupt. Try making a change to the ones that are not syncing and saving the change. It is usually just one that is bad, but that one stops the sync process. This is an address book problem, not an iPhone problem.

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:

TS4062 Contact Sync Question - iPhone to Macbook Pro

I made a change to one of my contacts on my iPhone. After I connected my iPhone to my Macbook Pro, started iTunes and clicked sync and allowed sync to finish, why does the change that I made not appear in the same contact on my Macbook address book?

Hello jonhurd,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12117
If you have problems syncing, try syncing only certain information. For example, deselect the Sync checkboxes on the Music, Photos, Podcasts, and Video panes, and try syncing only Info.
Have a nice day,

Only D-Z Contacts Synced To iCloud

I'm using iPhone 5 and have an iCloud account set to sync my contacts with iCloud. I jumped in a lake with the phone in my pocket so now it's dead and I'm looking at iCloud and only my D-Z contacts got synced. What's the deal with this? Do my contacts sync on my itunes backup at least?

Did you enable the syncing of Contacts on iTunes? Usually, if you have it set up on iCloud, it defaults to 'off' for iTunes.
Restore from your iTunes backup and see what happens.

Contacts syncing problem iPhone 3G

Hi,
I have an iPhone 3G, running iOS 3.1.3
I also have a mobile me account set up.
I'm trying to delete some duplicate contact details from my iPhone. I thought the easiest method would be via my address book after the mobile me technique failed. I have selected to replace my contacts on my iPhone with the address book contacts, synced at least 3 times but it hasn't worked.
Any pointers would be good

and i guess i should mention i bought it at best buy and they ported my phone #'s from my google phone and when i got home i sync'ed it with itunes and it doubled my contacts.

Why won't contacts sync with iphone

I'm loosing the will to live and I've spent hours trawling through the huge amount of fixes suggested on various sites but to no avail. I run a macbook pro, OSX10.6.8, Itunes 10.4 and the software on the iphone was updated today. Syncing with iTunes worked fine up until about 3 weeks ago - I don't know what happend but it just stopped. If I delete all the contacts in the mac address book (310) and run a sync nothing changes on the 472 iphone contacts. All the settings appear to be correct in the preferences. If I check the box to stop syncing contacts and delete all 472 contacts on the phone - they all dissapear. When I reset the sync contacts check box and check the "replace all the contacts on this phone during the next sync" box I get all 472 back again. Can anybody offer any help at all please before I slash my wrists!!

Clearly it doesn't work as I imagine! But I still don't understand what you mean. I'm not saying that I don't like Google's instructions,- what makes you say that? I'm saying that I think I've already followed them to the letter. How have I not? What else, exactly, do I need to do? Talk me through an example, please.
"You have added a data conduit between Google and your phone. But you have not put anything IN that conduit, save the data Google already has."
What I want to put into it is the contact data aleady on my phone (and in icloud). Google's instruction seems to say that to put something in the conduit, I just have to open Contacts on the iphone. Clearly that's not correct. So what do I do?
Here's what I'm refering to in Goolge's instructions:
"If you're using iOS 5 or iOS 6, follow these steps to set up contact syncing with Google Contacts:
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account... > Other > Add CardDAV Account.
Enter the following information in the fields:
Server: google.com
User Name: your full Google email address
Password: your Google account password
Tap Next at the top of the screen to complete the setup.
After you have completed the setup, open the Contacts app on your device. Syncing should begin automatically."
The last sentence seems to me to mean that opening Contacts will "put someting in the conduit".

Only half my contacts sync with Outlook 2013!!

I have an iPhone 4 (OS 7.1) with 950 contacts on it. I am wanting to back them up. It seems I can only back up to outlook or windows contacts. I have chosen Outlook and it syncs about half of my contacts fine. I am not sure what has happened to the remaining contacts!!!! I have spent 3 hours trying to resolve this but with no luck. The only other thing to note is my Apple ID is different to my work email ...but not sure that makes a difference!!! Also, as these are work contacts our corporate guidelines say that we cannot us iCloud.
Please someone help!! :-(

Hello Jonno F
Check out the article below for more information on trying to import your contacts that are on your iPhone to your computer. I know you said you are not allowed to use iCloud for syncing contacts, but it might by synced with another service. To look for that, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and look at your mail accounts and if one of them says contacts, then those will be on that syncing service. You can also view them when you are in the Contacts App and tap Groups in the upper right hand corner. It will then display any groups as well as any other separation of Contacts through different accounts and locally stored contacts.

Why won't Outlook 2011 Contacts sync with iPhone Contacts?

When i left a previous company i wanted to keep my outlook contacts. To do this i exported them from the company PC into a .PST file. I was then given a MacBook Air at my current company and wanted to import the contacts from the .PST file to my outlook (Outlook 2011). This was fine and i have my old contacts on my new work MacBook. My problem is that i cannot get the contacts to show in my iPhone 6 (company phone) contacts. When i go to itunes, then my device and contacts i am given the option to sync contacts from different places. The only place that comes up is OWA and there is no option to sync the .PST file that is on my outlook. I need to be able to sync these so that if i add a contact at the office on the mac or if i add a contact on my phone when out meeting a client that they then appear on both devices no matter which one it was created on.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

I did what you said and everything looked and worked perfectly...except the events still aren't showing up on my iPhone even though they are in Google Calendar. How much time does it take to populate the iphone calendar with the events from the just added calendar? I changed the settings a couple of hours ago.
Thank you!

Now Up To Date and Now Contact Sync with iPhone

I purchased an iPhone after using a Treo 700 with my Mac. All my calendar data is in Now Up To Date and all my contacts are in Now Contact. How do I best transition to the iPhone?
Should I export data from Now to the Apple applications and forget about Now Up To Date and Now Contact?
Any help and instruction would be great. I am ready to leave my treo behind!

I've been using my Treo as a go-between for Now Up To Date and iCal with software from The Missing Sync. This seems to work as a one-way sync from NUD to my iCal. I sent an email to them asking for help and here's their reply:
Description of problem:
Hi. I've been trying to use your software to get my data from Now Up To Date (NUD) to iCal so that I can have it on my iPhone. I know you don't support the iPhone, but maybe you can see if my approach is valid at all. I have a profile in The Missing Sync that only uses the NUD conduit. It is able to get any changes to my Treo 700p just fine. Then I made another profile that only uses the Mark/Space Tasks and Events conduits to get that data from the Treo to iCal. Somehow it worked a few times, but not any more. Is my idea a good one? Should I keep trying or give it up?
Steps to Reproduce:
Here's my steps.
1) Profile named NUD Treo. Has active only the NUD conduit, set to synchronize. I run the sync from the Treo and all changes I made in NUD are transfered to the Treo just fine.
2) I change to the profile named Treo iCal. I have slected the two condiuts, Mark/Space Events and Mark/Space Tasks. I have it set to synchronize all categories. When I run the sync from the Treo, it works for a bit, but none of the changes show up in iCal. Even though the items show in the Treo's calendar, they don't transfer to iCal.
A couple of times when I did the transfer I saw a comment "pushing from handheld".... and on those syncs the data showed up. But it doesn't always say that and the data doesn't transfer on thos syncs.
The reply from The Missing Sync's Support:
Hello,
Yes, that procedure should work.
First, update to 5.1.2 if you haven't done so yet. http://www.markspace.com/ftp/missingsyncpalmos5.1.2.dmg
Then follow these directions to have the Palm overwrite the Mac's Address Book and iCal.

Windows Live Calendar and Contacts sync with iPhone

I am looking at buying an iPhone. Is it possible to set the iPhone up to sync my Windows Live calendar, contacts and email over the phone network (ie without having to use iTunes), and can the calendar and contacts be edited using the iPhone and will this sync straight back to Windows?

If you are syncing Windows Live Calendar with your iPhone calendar app, then you have discovered something that neither Microsoft nor Apple have admitted can be done. There are a couple of published "workarounds" none of which are simple and which mostly just do not work.
Perhaps you could tell us what you are actually doing?

Contacts sync with iPhone, iPad & MacBook Pro but not calendar won't

OK, so on my iPhone and iPad I have software V 6.1.3, my MacBook Pro 10.8.3. I can get contacts to sync with all 3 but the calendar nothing wants to sync.

OK, I made a change to calendar on MacBook Pro and it syncd with iPad & the iPhone. I deleted it on the iPad and it syncd with the MacBook but not the phone. So apparently the problem is between the iPhone & the iPad.

Why does it only one time to sync my IPhone 5, yet to put the same playlist on my IPad Air I have to sync multiple occasions and reboot?

Lately purchasing songs on ITunes has been difficult getting them on my IPad Air. I can sync the exact same playlist to my IPhone 5, no problem. Try putting the same playlist and songs on my IPad Air, forget about it! This problem seems recent and I wonder if it is a software problem. The computer is an Mac, so it's not a PC issue. During the sync process, step 5 "Waiting for changes to be applied", takes the longest amount of time.
Any thoughts?
Dave

You can't you either set it up as a new phone and then set up all the settings again and then sync your contacts, calendars and photos. Then manually select the applications you want to include
OR
Restore your device using a previous backup

Mavericks, contacts, sync non-iPhone

Hi everyone,
It came to doing an update on my old non-iPhone, but Mavericks doesn't seem to have iSync anymore.
Is there a way to make sure my old phone, with some new numbers, can upload relevant info into Contacts?
Or is Apple cutting off support for anyone who doesn't have an iPhone?
Snow Leopard was fine.
Thanks in anticipation.

bit4net:
That will probably not work for the old phones we are talking about.
There are many of us that are still using the smaller flip phones that do not have internet or email access.
They are basic phones. I use my iPad air for my email and internet access on the go.
iSync allows one to sync contacts with those basic phones.
Using google's gmail is an idea for smartphones other than the iPhone.
It is not going to work for my trusty Motorola V3m RAZR.
