Private Fields on me card not respected with iCloud sync

I have set certain fields on my Me card as private (not to be shared.) When my me card is synced to icloud and back down to my iPhone my iPhone does not respect the private fields when sharing my Me card from that device. The fields are respected when shared from my laptop.
I've been sharing private data with my customers that I expected to remain private. How can I fix this?

Yes, clearly post iCloud, QuickSync cannot 'see' the contacts list.
However, here's my question: is it possible to put a duplicate set of contacts where they used to be stored on the local Mac prior to iCloud? Then QS would see them and import them?
They could always be deleted afterwards if they caused a duplicate set to appear in Address Book for any reason.
Obviously this is a bit of a kludge as it won't get updated as you add/delete from Address Book. But I'd settle for my 500 contacts being at least transfererd! I could put up with repeatign this workaroudn occasionally.
Thoughts?

  • MBP will not register with iCloud servers (and most iCloud features + Handoff and Continuity do not work)

    Hi all,
    I have an extremely strange issue on my rMBP which has not been solved yet despite over 2 hours on the phone with Apple support, and another hour after being put through to a Senior Advisor, and several online chats.
    I have a Apple Certified Refurbished Late 2013 Retina Macbook Pro, which has a 2.3Ghz i7, 16GB of RAM, 500 Flash Storage and the NVIDIA discrete graphics. It was purchased in December 2014 on the Apple Store. It is running 10.10.2.
    For some reason, my computer WILL NOT register with iCloud. Messages and Facetime both would not work, my iPhone 4S which is capable of text message forwarding would not recognise it and allow me to turn it on. Handoff, Continuity and Instant Hotspot - basically any of the features to do with iCloud or connecting to another device - do not work.
    Originally I believed it was just an issue with Messages and Facetime so I reinstalled the OS back to 10.10.1, but that did not solve the problem. All my Messages contacts kept on coming back as 'not registered with iMessage' and I could not turn on SMS Relay either.
    I contacted Apple on Wednesday night and ended up talking to several different people, the Senior Advisor was the most helpful - really tried to help me figure out what was wrong, and to fix it - wonderful help, really was. They used screen sharing and were quite confused. They figured out as well that Handoff, Instant Hotspot, and all those other features don't work either. At this point, they made me update to 10.10.2 to see if it was an issue with the update, but to no avail.
    Eventually, the SA checked my iCloud account and saw that the computer hadn't even connected to iCloud, and wasn't even showing up as one of my devices, despite the fact that I had signed into iCloud on this computer.
    The SA told me that he suspected it must have been something to do with hardware, but didn't know what it could be. He said the only time he had seen this before was on a refurbished laptop when the serial number hadn't been put back on, but my serial number was there, so he said it must have been something to do with Bluetooth or Wifi.
    Wireless seems to work completely fine, but there is a strange thing with Bluetooth in which within System report says that the computer is not discoverable or connectable, despite the fact that in the Menu Bar it says it is on and discoverable. It becomes discoverable and connectable once you toggle the switch in System Preferences.
    I was planning to book a Genius Bar Appointment as suggested by the SA, but something strange happened today - all of a sudden, some (not all of them) of my iMessages from earlier today came through. Still no working Handoff or Facetime or Continuity, but now I am starting to wonder what is really wrong.
    Despite the fact they said it was hardware (especially Bluetooth), what could explain why it (seldom) or will not register with iCloud? Can anybody shed some light on the situation and whether a Genius Bar appointment could help fix it?
    Cheers and thanks in advance.

    Needed to add some clarification here:
    iCloud shows me as signed in, but Calendars are NOT checked
    Internet Accounts shows Calendars as syncing

  • TS4139 I had 2 MobileMe email addresses, but only went thru ICloud process with one (my main address). Now the secondary address is not working with iCloud. Did I have to go thru the process with both addresses? Can I get that address back?

    I had 2 MobileMe email addresses, but only went thru iCloud process with one (my main address). Now the secondary address is not working with iCloud. Did I have to go thru the process with each address? Can I still get that secondary address to work with iCloud?

    It was totally separate. I just now went back to a previous email from Apple to that secondary address which urged me to transition to iCloud. I followed the link and it prompted me thru the process and the address is now able to send/receive emails. Thanks.

  • IPhone 4 not synching with iCloud or Macbook

    Hi,
    I have an iPhone 4 that is not synching with iCloud correctly.  For contacts there is over 500 on my phone and only 41 in my iCloud.  Also, there is a similar issue when I synch through iTunes (10.7 version 21).  I run a MacBook with Snow Leapord.  Any ideas on what I must do?
    Thanks!

    Suggest a small trial - create on the Computer a small playlist of Songs - using the iPhone on local WiFi select the playlist scroll to the end and select the option to 'download all' - you should find that the Songs are immediately available for playing on the iPhone.
    If the trial does not work there is a more serious issue ... do post back the progress you make.

  • Numbers not synching with iCloud

    Dear Apple
    Numbers on my iOS devices and my iMac do not synch with iCloud.  I have been struggling with this issue for 2 months.  When oh when will Apple fix this.
    My decides:
    iMax iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2010) running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1(14B25)
    iPad series 2 running iOS 8.1.1
    iPhone 6 plus running iOS 8.1.1
    Help please as the only way i can work is to use my iPhone only at present.

    Dear Apple
    Do I really think you read the message above...well no I don't think you have the time.  However, the problem seems now to be fix.  Last evening the iMac and iPhone started to be in sych and I fully tested changes in both directions. At that time the iPad was still not synched.  This morning the set of files that the iPad was looking at seemed to be more up to date.  I then started my iMac and ran the iTunes synch again for the iPad and iPhone.  Magically all devices are now in synch. No time to test that changes from the iPad now but I believe all will now be well. How odd!

  • Rules not working with iCloud anywhere

    Hi, Rules are not working with my icloud account, if I set up a rule at icloud.com the mail arrives in my inbox and ignores the rule, same thing on my Mac in the mail app, all my rules that worked great with mobileme are not working with icloud, the mail is just piling up in the inbox. Other accounts are fine but icloud is ignoring all the rules . . . . . anyone else experiencing this please?

    come on Apple.  are you listening?
    "It just works"?   Really?
    the worst PR is a product that doesn't do what it says it will. 

  • My address book will not synch with iCloud or iPhone 4

    Since upgrading to lion, my address book will not synch with icloud or my iphone 4.  Any idea what I should do?

    I can't figure out what's going on.  Been working on this all day.  Yes, all the preferences are checked off and I've triple checked everything.  The truth is, after many experiments, I think the problem has to do with how address book is communicating with my contact list.  I use quickbooks 2012 for mac.  It has all of my customers and vendors synched with my address book on my mac.  If I add a customer in quickbooks it shows up in address book on my mac.  But it doesn't show up in Icloud or on my Iphone.  If I manually add a customer to my Iphone it synchs fine with Icloud and my address book.  It seems that the only time devices can't communicate is when I add a contact in quickbooks.  No matter what I do, I can't get the new contact from quickbooks to icloud or my iphone.  It looks like those programs/devices completely ignore the new contact in address book that was created in quickbooks.  I realize you probably can't help me here but if you have any ideas let me know.

    Hi Kenster19,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you need to verify the email address you use with iCloud, you can use the steps in this article:

  • Are messages gone after not restoring with iCloud?

    Because of a bad backup with iCloud my CameraRoll did not work correctly. So i decided to restore my iphone through itunes, but not restore with Icloud untill after I got into the iphone. I saw then when i synced with icloud again the messages did not sync.... does that mean the messages are gone forever?

    If the device was backed up prior to the update (it should have been as this is part of the update process) simply restore from the backup.  Otherwise they are gone.
    Why do you choose to not backup the device regularly?  The same "loss of data" would occur should the device fail, be lost, or stolen.

  • Is there an issue with iCloud syncing on iWork apps?

    I thought everything was ok with iCloud syncing but I seem to now have issues.
    I created a spreadsheet under Pages on my iPad (3rd Gen) and, after pressing the 'spreadsheet' button to show thumbnails of all docs being worked on, I'm seeing a small arrow pointing upwards on the thumbnail.  Before, I used to see a progress bar updating in the thumbnail (which I presume is updating to iCloud). 
    Now? Nothing.  The arrow stays and nothing is updated on my iPhone 4.   In fact, a previous version of my spreadsheet is shown on my iPhone with the same upwards pointing arrow but with the whole thumbnail 'greyed out'.  I can't even open it on the iPhone to delete it!
    Is this a know issue and are there any fixes?  I've tried the usual turning iCloud off and on for both devices but this has not had any effect.

    This is ridiculous!
    I have now established that there are issues with Pages, Numbers and Keynote documents!!!  They surely cannot all be corrupted?
    I have managed to salvage an important Numbers Document which I have copied in to iTunes (and subsequently on to my external HD).
    To try and rectify the situation I have then turned off iCloud on all 3 apps on both my iPhone 4 and iPad and deleted all documents under each app.  I have then gone on to iWork under iCloud and deleted all documents off there (some of which I noted were not the up-to-date documents I had been working on in iOS).  I had to turn off iCloud regardless to delete a couple of the documents on my iPhone (under all 3 apps) as some documents were greyed out (see original post) and could not be deleted.  As soon as iCloud was disabled it enabled me to remove off the local device. 
    Having switched iCloud back on to my iPhone and iPad (and bearing in mind I had deleted all documents off both iOS devices and in iCloud) the greyed out thumbnails re-appear (and cannot be deleted or altered!!!!)
    Anybody? Aaaaarrrrrrgggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!

  • AirPort Extreme card not compatible with Mac Pro???

    Hey,
    I recently purchased my Mac Pro without thinking to include any hardware for connecting to a wireless network.
    I have recently moved into a new apartment which I am keen to join to a wireless network which has just been set up by my roommate for his PC and Laptop.
    I was going to buy an AirPort Extreme card, but I have read that it is not compatible with the Mac Pro. Yet when I looked at the configure process for a new mac it was listed as one of the devises offered for wireless networking!!
    I am very confused...
    I was wondering if anyone could help me, i just need to know what hardware i will need and how it would be installed.
    thanks, all help will be greatly appreciated!
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    the mac pro takes a slightly different airport express card. you have to purchase it at the retail store and have them install it. in my experience they will not allow you to purchase one and install it yourself due to the difficulty of installing it. best thing to do take your macpro into a apple retail store and see what they can do.

  • Sound Card not compatible with WIN 7

    I have a Dell 8200 Dimension Desktop (vintage 2002)?that I?ve just upgraded from XP Pro to Win 7. My Turtle Beach sound card no longer works since it is not compatible with Win 7. When I tried to install a non-Dell sound card, I found that the two sockets were not compatible with the Dell cables. I was told that I must have a Dell card since the plugs were proprietory Dell. I was given a Dell part number (38FRH) which supposedly was the card that would work as a replacement, i.e., be compatible with Windows 7. Dell no longer stocks this card since they stop supporting their computers after they are 5 years old.
    Can?anyone help me solve my problem?

    Which Dell cables? To the speakers? If so, time to change the speakers then.
    Also try online such as eBay. Google for "Dell 38FRH". Ignore the Windows 7 drivers links. First few I found were fakes/scams. Scroll down. On the first page there were a couple of sites that carried it.
    I would rather change the sound card [get something "modern"] and speakers than continue to use proprietary stuff.
    Using Win 7 on an 8 year old system? Yeeesh.

  • SD Card not mounting with Yosemite, Disk Utility Yes, Finder No

    Hi Everyone!
    mid-2012 15" rMBP
    2.7 GHz i7
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Yosemite 10.10
    Installed Yosemite about 2 weeks ago.  So far things have been fine.
    Just this morning tried reading a Nikon formatted Sony Class 10 (40MB/s) 16 GB SD card through the internal SD card reader - and nothing happened.  After some poking around I noticed that the SD card is recognized by both the Disk Utility and the System Software, but not by Finder.  The SD card will not mount.
    It is not the SD card because it will mount on my buddies MBP running Mavericks (I had to upload the photos through Dropbox off his MBP).
    I have already tried resetting both the PRAM and the SMC - it did not change anything.  The system would still not mount the SD Card.
    Here is the interesting thing.  I have taken an old Class 4 8GB SD card which also wasn't being recognized and using Disk Utility, reformatted from MS DOS FAT to EXFat.  Now Finder will in fact mount the drive.  However, my Nikon or other devices will not accept an ExFAT formatted SD Card.
    Check this out:
    Anyone have any ideas?
    THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

  • Card not present on hot sync

    I am using Palm TX with Doc To Go v10.002 and Palm Desktop v 6.2.2.  My expansion card is a Palm 128 mg.  When I insert the card into the Palm, it reads it as having some memory taken, but the documents do not read on the Palm.  When I hot sync, I get the message "card not present" in the card section of the Hot Sync Manager.  I have refomatted the card.  When I read the card from my pc, the folders for palm system are there.  I have added a couple of documents from the pc to the card, bypassing the Hot Sych Manager, but my palm still does not read them/acknowledge them.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi John,
    this is a common issue.
    You have the following: cascading syncBOs - have a look into MEREP_PD and yu see a column with some numbers in boxes. Click on these boxes and you see if a syncbo is related to another one.
    In your case: you tr to download MAM010 BO for example. But this will only come down if the related order (MAM001) is available as well. But MAM001 will only be on the device, if related FunctLoc or Partner is on device as well - and so forth. And nothing will be on the device, if MAM090 is not available.
    What I want to say: have a look into the relations. If you see this warning in MEREP_LOG, check if you see this warning as well for other BOS and see why these are not on the middleware available. Check the GETLIST/GETDETAIL handlers on the backend and so forth. This is a little bit of a frustrating work, but it is because the dataset will only be on the device if all related information is available as well.
    If you go to the device and open MAM and then type the url:
    http://localhost:4444/MAM/start.jsp
    where MAM is the name of your MAM installation (so change it to our needs) you will see the persistence on the device. Select MAM001 and show the data. The related entries are there with the SyncKEY of the object. If you then select the partner for example and search for the information shown for MAM001 you will find it on the device as well. IF the partner would not be there you would get an error in the app. To avoid that, an order will not come down if the patner is not available for download.
    A little confisung at first I guess - but if you think about it is hopefully makes sence - if not - ask, we will clarify this hopefully.
    Regards,
    Oliver
