Skype and Iphone contacts integration

I just set up a new IPhone 4s with iOS8. Upon installing the Skype app, all my Skype contacts appeared in the main contact list of the Iphone (i.e. when I go to make a call, I can call them using the cellular service). I assumed this meant the contacts would sync. However, I have just added some new Skype contacts (via Skype on my PC). While it updates the contacts in the Skype app on my iphone, these new contacts do not appear in the main contact list. What do I need to do to make them appear there? Or does this import only happen upon installation of the Skype app?

The iPhone's ear buds will not work on your MacBook with Skype. You will need to get a headset with a separate mic and earphone input, or a USB headset.

Why do phone numbers disappear in Address and IPhone Contacts?

I've noticed that my wife's phone numbers get cancelled out of the Address Book and IPhone Contacts after a sync. I have only noticed my wife's phone numbers missing. Don't know if others numbers are missing too. Her name and email address and notes stay. Only the phone numbers get deleted.

Check your address book on your computer to make sure everything is in order first, then go into iTunes and choose the box under the sync options for your iPhone that "Replaces" all the information on your iPhone with that of your PC in the category of the address book. See if that helps.

Syncing Google Gmail Contacts with Address Book and iPhone Contacts

Can anyone recommend a good way to sync Google Gmail Contacts with the Address Book on the Mac and with Contacts on the iPhone?
I tried using ABGMerge, but could not get it to work so and am looking for other options. Thanks.

The Plaxo 3 non-pubic beta application currently supports only Mozilla and FireFox 1.5 and Internet Explorer 6. Safari support, and support for updated OS X thrid-party browsers, has not yet been released. To say that there are some anomalies and visual artifacts with Safari 2, would be an understatement. But, then, I often find this to be the case with beta—particularly, pre-public beta, software.
The current release—build 356—supports these 'sync points:'
• Mac OS X through a System Preferences pane
• AOL and AIM
• LinkedIn
• mobile access
• MSN and WIndows Live
• Outlook
• Outlook Express
• Windows Mail
• Yahoo
It does not yet support Google. Or, not yet reliably or completely. The little 'hippo' that pops up periodically in the beta says, "Google Calendar Sync has been temporarily disabled. We are working diligently to resolve the problem. Sorry for the inconvenience."
The verdict at the moment: contact synchronization performs as it always has with Plaxo. Calendar synchronization is clearly not yet ready for prime-time, even to the Plaxo 3 web interface itself.

Ipad and iphone contacts cross over! dont want it! heLp!

forgive typos. i hate typing on ipads.

Hello JellyFishFun,
It sounds like you are wanting to stop certain data from syncing between your families devices. From what you describe it seems that the same iCloud account is signed in on them. You can configure each device to sync only certain content with iCloud or each other by disabling the options you do not want to sync on either your iPad, or their devices. This article outlines where to check for these settings for you to customize for your situation:
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
I understand that you have not changed the Apple ID but the article lists services that use an Apple ID for you to check to see if the account is setup with those services.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Address book and iPhone contacts not syncing

I have just got an iPhone 4. However, I now realise that all of the contact info that I'd been adding over a very long time to my old iPhone 3G has not come across. None of it seems to have synced with the address book on my iMac. Why is this so? It seems that the iMac address book has been overriding my iPhone contacts during the sync (which I do very regularly). Can I get this info back from my Time Machine backup?

Go into System Preferences -> iCloud. Firstly check that Contact syncing is enabled, and then check that you are signed into the same Apple ID.
Otherwise turn Contact syncing off and then back on. Then select to merge when prompting.

.Mac and iPhone Contact Error

Hello all,
I have a .mac account, three macs, and an iPhone. I have successful sync'd my iphone with my work computer (PeeCee) and outlook. So have been able to migrate my work contacts to one of my macs. Since my contacts list has changed dramatically, syncing them with my other macs will not work. I select replace, and I am contantly getting ".Mac Sync Error: An inconsistency detected on .Mac for your contacts data preventing your sync from completing! You should consider resetting .Mac from a computer with good data." Then I have reset the data from the 'good' computer, but it doesnt help at all. Same issue on all the other computers.
Suggestions? Thanks in Advance

I know this seems a bit harsh, but as I'm sure you've experienced, nothing else worked. Go into your User Library Folder -> Application Support and Delete the SyncServices Folder. I don't know if it messes up anything else, but it fixed this issue for me.

Yositme and iPhone contact syncing

I am unable to sync or import contacts from my phone which is a 5s fully up to date to my bmp which is on yosimite and up to date. I have my phone set to sync with iCloud and I'm logged in to iCloud on the mac including having it linked in the contact app itself but I can not find anyway to get contacts from my phone to the mac. So when I use messenger on the mac everyone shows up at phone numbers and I do not want to have to create new contact cards for everyone when they're all right there on my phone

Hi Greenneck,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these syncing issues between your devices. If both your iPhone and your MacBook Pro are using iCloud Contacts, but the contacts in question do not appear to be syncing correctly, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

hi me kashif Hello people,
I lost all my contacts on my iPhone. Facebook contacts integration is turned off. When I got to know that I have no contacts on my iPhone. I checked my settings and iCloud backup and contacts on iCloud (in settings) were off.
Is there a solution to get all my contacts back? Please help me. I want my contacts back, as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance.

Unless as part of a backup, or stored somewhere else, they are gone.
Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. He can continue to use yours for iTunes content, but for everything else, he needs his own.
When you did what you did, as far as iCloud knows, this is the same person with multiple devices, and that's they way things are supposed to work: keep everything in sync.

Skype not working at all for Mac and iPhone

Hi! I'm running Skype ver.7.10 (777) on OSX Yosemite (10.10.3) on my MacBook Pro. I'm also running Skype ver.5.14.72 on my iPhone 5s on iOS 8.4. I've been having problems with Skype for Mac for the past week. It started with lagging messages in Group Chats (We have around 23 people in there, though usually only half would be online at the same time). It would take anywhere from 2 to 15 minutes to send a single word. Later, I would receive messages 30 minutes after it was sent from friends. Now, I can neither send or receive messages on Skype for Mac. Also, I would be able to chat with my contacts in private one on one chats, but when I tried to uninstall and reinstall the application, I could no longer chat with them and they would appear offline to me, even though I can confirm through webversion of Skype that they are indeed online. As for Skype for iPhone, I noticed I stopped receiving messages late yesterday, but I only got the chance to check it out now. I can no longer send or receive messages from my groups or people I've chatted with on Skype for Mac. In short, my Skype for iPhone now has the same problem for Skype for Mac. So far, I've only tried uninstalling, restarting my MacBook and reinstalling Skype. Same goes for my iPhone; uninstall, restart, reinstall. Really need help here since I have an important Skype conference call scheduled in a few hours. I'm not sure if webversion of Skype supports conference calls...? I hope this issue will be resolved soon though for now, any help will be appreciated.

I've been having a similar issue that began at approximately 7:00 pm EST last night - really hoping there's a solution soon! I've begun to receive messages from a group chat I'm in, but they're still few and far between.

I found My iPhone contacts on my friends Iphone we both have 4s! But we use the same apple ID and ICloud ID! How can undo what happened? all my private stuff is now on his phone!!! help me plz!!?

Of course if you are both connected to the same iCloud account you have the same contacts - what did you expect?. The contacts live on the server and are read from there by the devices; so as you've both managed to sync your contacts up to iCloud they are now inextricably mixed. You can only delete your contacts by deleting individual ones, and doing that will delete them from your phone as well.
You can only unravel this by
1. In the iCloud contacts page at http://icloud.com, select all the contacts, click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Export vCard'.
2. Sign out of System Preferences>iCloud
3. Create a new Apple ID and open a new iCloud account with it for your own use.
4. Import the vCard back into the iCloud contacts page.
5. Go to http://icloud.com and sign in with the original ID. This is now his ID. Work through the contacts individually deleting the ones you don't want him to have. When done sign out and advise him to change his password.
6. Go to the new iCloud account and delete his contacts individually.
Of course if you have also been syncing calendars and using the same email address there are problems with doing this.

Hello, I've updated the iPhone I have got I have a problem I hope you respond to some of the applications no longer work, such as the safari and skype and many applications are no longer working with the ios7.0.4

Standard troubleshooting...
1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
3. Remove apps from Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
- Press the home button when done.
4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

Not receiving texts from iPhone contacts when I'm not connected to wifi or cell data. I can't send and receive regular SMS texts with non iMessage users but iMessage users message are not being converted to text when I don't have internet connect

I can send and receive to any non iPhone user. I can send a message as a text to an iPhone user but if I'm not connected to cellular data or wifi I do not receive messages from iPhone contacts. From what I understand these message should automatically send to me as texts instead of iMessages but since the update it's not functioning properly. Please help. I've tried turning iMessage off and I still don't receive the messages until after I reconnect to wifi.

I have the same problem! Before the upgrade, if I wasn't connected to the internet, any messages sent to me from an iphone would convert automatically to a text message. I have payg tarriff, so I turn cell data off, as it costs too much to use it. I have wifi at home and work, but if I'm out and about, I don't receive texts from iphone users until I'm on wifi. I get them ok from non iphone users. There was never any problem until ios7

Face time fades out and then tries to reconnect on new ipad retina display on WiFi. Iphone 4s has no problem with face time from exact same location and same contact. WiFi signal strong on both devices. What gives?

Is the router to small?
Not necessarily, if you are using Facetime all the data goes through your WiFi router, your cable/DSL modem, your ISP and the internet to Apple's Facetime servers and then, in reverse, down to the Facetime recipient. If your ISP connection is too slow or there is excessive traffic on the internet you can have Facetime problems.
Most WiFi routers can handle this unless others in the house are also using WiFi at the same time. The problem may be your ISP connection or congestion on the internet, etc.
