Since I moved to iCloud I can't Edit or Delete Address Book Contacts using my MacBook Pro

Is not funny at all, everything was fine using Mobile Me but since I switch to iCloud I can't Edit or Delete my Address Book Contacts using my MacBook Pro or my MacPro.
In my MacBook Pro, i open Address Book and on the left I have te list of all contacts, on the right the selected contact informations, below I only have "Add Contact" or "Share", my friend have "Edit" instead of "Add Contact".
If I click on "Add Contact" this is the result:
Are you sure you want to import 1 card? 1 card is a duplicate and will be updated.
Everything fine using my iPhone or the website.
Apple, what's going on?

Here is some information and instructions from Apple:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998
Please note that iCloud is geared towards being an instantaneous (and in some cases temporary) parking place for various things with iDevices; the access and useability from a computer is more difficult and, for most things, has to be done via the website icloud.com.

  • Why can't I edit or delete Address Book "On My Mac" or sync with iCloud?

    Why can't I edit or delete Address Book cards on my Macs, now that I've migrated to iCloud?  I can edit/delete if I go to iCloud, but the changes don't sync with my Macs.  What's happening, and what's a solution?  Just wait for Apple to fix a bug?

    On your mac, if your look at the left panel of the Address Book, you'll find general categories of "iCloud" and possibly "On my mac" - if you have contacts in the latter, then they are only local to your mac, they are not shared with iCloud.  If you don't have an "iCloud" category, then your mac(s) is not set up of iCloud.  Go to system preferences and look in iCloud.  Is the mac signed into iCloud, are contacts turned on for syncing?

  • In address book on my new macbook pro I can't drag contacts to a new message or drag a group to bcc. What do I need to do?

    in address book on my new macbook pro I can't drag contacts to a new message or drag a group to bcc like I could on my 2007 macbook pro. What do I need to do? 

    The issue has nothing to do with your MacBook Pro. You are using a different version of OS X.
    If you are using Apple's Mail application, it will search both previous contacts and the address book as you type the send address.

  • Help, I can not drag and drop address book contacts into numbers.

    i have read the manual. watched videos on youtube, but I can not drag and drop address book contacts into numbers or pages.  I upgraded to Numbers 09.  set up the fields as stipulated, but when I drag a contact to the numbers canvas it just bounces back to address book.  I tried reinstalling 09 thinking it was a faulty install.  no luck.  Have tried dragging to balnk part of canvas, to the table, and to a table with fields, no luck. 
    Thank you.

    Could be a preferences setting. See Jerry's post in this thread.

  • Can't edit Vcards in Address Book

    In Address Book, the "edit card" in Edit drop-down menu is grayed out (as is the "delete").  In addition, on the bottom of an individual Address Book page, the "EDIT" option no longer appears.  Each Adress Book page shows only the Add and Share options at the bottom.

    Hi Tony ...
    Might be corrupted preferences. (It's a Mac thing)
    Quit the Address Book app if it's open. Command + Q on your keyboard or from the Address Book menu bar click Address Book > Quit.
    Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.AddressBook.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
    Launch Address Book. If you can edit your contacts now, move the .plist file to the Trash. If not, just move it back to the Preferences folder.
    If that didn't work, go to ~/LIbrary/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook/Cahce.db
    Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit then relaunch Address Book. See if you can edit your contacts now.
    ~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
    For Lion v10.7x:  To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library
    You can open a Finder window by clicking the Finder icon in your Dock (first icon on the left side of the Dock)  

  • How can i move all my address book contacts to icloud?

    I think I now understand the two accounts I have in Contacts -  one for On my Mac and one for iCloud. The On my Mac account is the complete one. Can I move the whole thing into teh iCloud account so that it syncs with my oher Mac and my iPhone?

    I jus found the answer to my question at:

  • Can anyone help new to this, e.mail slow I tried to send photo and in error attached  the application so got bounced back now can't delete it and email changed in a real mess can't seem to delete anything or receive stuff on macbook pro

    Hi any help out there, I have messed up e.mail should have had some training. I tried sending photo as attachment to e.mail but attached the whole application, of course this got thrown back, tried to delete it no luck . Now at a loss what to do mail box and mac now sooooo slow and cant seem to get rid of deleted mail??? comes up with error from imap server for gmail message to large ..has anybody else had this ?

    If the message is still 'stuck' in your gmail account, you should be able to log into the web service and delete it. Don't know why it won't delete on the Mail side. Quitting Mail should delete the sent msg - don't know why it doesn't.
    Give it a shot...

  • Are my Address Book contacts in iCloud or On My Mac?

    Is there some reason why, since iCloud, we have to have duplicates of every Contact in our Address Book?
    Additionally, when I'm cleaning up my Address Book on my MacBook Pro (10.7.3) there's no way to tell if a contact is in "On My Mac" or "iCloud".
    I have seen no clear discussion of this. If I change an entry for "John Q Smith" in my Address Book, why doesn't it "Unify" as they do on my iPhone? I end up with two different Address Book entries, one in either iCloud or "On My Mac" with the changes and another without the changes.
    There is no field on an "Address Book" contact indicating its source ["On My Mac", or "iCloud"].
    Why do I need two entries for every entry in my Address Book? This issue has been correctly identified and treated on the iPhone — I get a "Unified" classification and a change to the Contact happens synchronously.

    I am already configured for, and using iCloud as my default account.
    If I select "All Contacts", I have duplicates of every entry in my Address Book.
    When I select the corresponding option on my iPhone, I get "Unified Contacts" — this is GOOD and SMART — when I change a 'Unified' contact on my iPhone, all the entries are synchronously changed. This is how Mac OS X 10.7.3's Address Book should be treating these entries. Is there not an option somewhere to activiate this same feature?
    IF I REMOVE "ON MY MAC" FROM MY ADDRESS BOOK ACCOUNTS, I WILL BE UNABLE TO SYNCHORONISE MY ADDRESS BOOK WITH ANY OTHER SERVICE SUCH AS GOOGLE OR YAHOO. This is highly undesireable. As lovely and singular as is Apple and it's products, there are other services in the world with which I must coordinate and this is beyond my control.
    It looks like, from the responses above, that I will be editing every duplicate Address Book contact for the foreseeable future if I want to have non-Apple sync-able contact database as well as be on iCloud, which I do love.

  • Since moving to iCloud I can no longer all my mac addresses

    I have a mac family account but since moving to icloud I can no longer access them all, only my main account is available

    I think each member of the family Pack needs to move their account to iCloud. Screenshot from Here

  • Since I d/loaded iCloud I can't sync my MacBook to my iPhone,,,,please help.

    Since I d/loaded iCloud I can't sync my MacBook to my iPhone,,,,please help.

    Video podcasts have to be in SD format, not HD. Make sure you select the proper version for your touch. If you still have problems, you can click on the podcast in iTunes and select Advanced > Create an iPod or iPhone Version. That should convert the video into something that can be played.
    As far as syncing audio podcasts (I do this for video as well), I use the simple is better approach. I set iTunes to sync all unplayed podcasts and I set each podcast in iTunes to automatically delete played podcasts. The iPod is clean; iTunes is clean.

  • HT4847 How do I put my iPhone stored items into my iCloud storage?i have bought an upgrade but none of my phones stored items have moved to iCloud.i can't download new update from apple. due to not enough and yet iCloud space is empty??please help thanks

    How do I put my iPhone stored items into my iCloud storage?i have bought an upgrade but none of my phones stored items have moved to iCloud.i can't download new update from apple. due to not enough and yet iCloud space is empty??please help I don't know what I doing all I know is my phone is iPhone 4 and I can't update it. My phone on contract with t-mobile . Thanks

    You can't have content in iCloud without having it on your phone, you will need to look at deleting items from your device that you don't need. Movies and TV shows from iTunes are possibly a good start because they tend to be large and can be redownloaded at a later date.

  • I am in my icloud, I can track my phone and see my Contacts, but there's no mail. Why can't I see my stored emails?

    I am in my icloud; I can track my phone and see my Contacts, but there's no emails. What am I doing wrong?

    Not sure we're speaking the same language (my fault), but let me try again:  I launched Firefox, logged into icloud.com and gone to the mail page to find no emails there.  We have a home wifi network, and our iPad and iPhone are synched with our home email on the home computer. In the iPad settings under iCloud I turned the email slider to "ON", and it uploaded the calendar and contacts to the iCloud, but not the email.
    And to answer your question above - I can't tell if we've moved the incoming emails to a local folder. Perhaps that happened when the email was set up (a long time ago). I just assumed that if it appears on the iPad, then it should appear on the iCloud.
    The iPhone settings would not let me slide the email slider to "ON": does that block the emails somehow?
    Thanks for any help or thoughts -

  • I only show one iCloud on my IPhone that can do a restore. I synced it with my MacBook Pro and I think that may have messed things up. Prior to that I have several backups. Will a "genius" be able to access the info I need?

    I only show one iCloud on my IPhone that can do a restore. I synced it with my MacBook Pro and I think that may have messed things up. Prior to that I have several backups. Will a "genius" be able to access the info I need?

    If things seem to be going haywire with your phone, it seems that it MAY be a software issue.
    Now, that being said, that does not necessarily mean that it is a virus. Software issues do happen sometimes. It is probably just coincidence.
    What you need to do is restore the device using iTunes. This will fix any software issues. After you have done this, you can restore from an iCloud backup.
    iCloud does not back up the actual software, so no, the "virus" would not have gotten into the backups.
    The link below provides steps on restoring your device using iTunes as well as how to restore from an iCloud backup.

    Don't worry! Everything should be back to normal if you follow these steps.
