Some contacts on my iPhone are not syncing to iCloud

Most of my contacts sync from my iPhone 4 to iCloud but there are some that do not. I check iCloud.com and cannot find them but yet on my phone the contacts appear on the iCloud section of my "Contacts".
Have searched the forum and cannot find anything that might help me.
Some contacts I find that do not sync have custom labels - but other contacts do have custom labels and sync without any issues.
Stuck as some of the people that don't sync are people I contact often!
Thanks for any help given.

YAY! So I figured out a simple way to do this. I'll try to keep the steps simple.
1. I went to icloud.com and into my calendar.
2. I created a new calendar for each of my calendars. (for instance, I have family, friends, business, etc.)
3. I then went to the iMac ICal and exported each of my calendars (those which i just created a new calendar for on icloud) under "on my mac".
4. I then imported them into those new folders on the Mac into the "Icloud" calendars I created moments ago. Be sure when you import you SELECT that calendar.
5. Once that is all done you can delete the calendars "on your mac" so there aren't duplicates.
6. NOW all your events should sync. Apparently Icloud doesn't sync calendars "on the mac" only in the "icloud", which is obviously different from what mobile me did.

My iPad and iPhone are not syncing my notes, contacts and calendars

My iPad and iPhone are not syncing notes, calendars or contacts.

Hello
Notes, Contacts and Calendar event can come from other sources too.
> Email accounts Like Gmail, Outlook ....
> Social Media, like FaceBook Twitter ...
> Apps you might be using.
Are each of your devices signed in with each account, that could be used to sync them?
Best of Luck

Contacts on my iphone does not sync properly with icloud.

Contacts on my iphone does not sync properly with icloud. I have merged data with facebook contacts, and this merged information appears as I want it to be on icloud.com. But on the iphone, the facebook contacts and the icloud contact appear separately.
I have tried exporting the contacts out of icloud.com, then deleting all contacts on both icloud.com and on the iphone; then importing the vcard back into icloud.com, but the facebook details still appear as a separate contact. It is too time consuming to merge all of my contacts manually What should I do in order for the iphone to display the contacts as it is on icloud.com?

Is there some sort of Facebook tag on the vCard?

Hi

On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Contacts off then back on then reset the device.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Contacts added in iPhone don not sync into Outlook on PC

Has anyone else had this issue: I have added new contacts into my iPhone and have tried to sync the iPhone with Outlook and the newly added contacts do not show up in Outlook Contacts. Is there a method to force sync of newly added contacts?
Thanks
Robert

Yes, the Sync with Outlook is checked on the info tab. My contacts from Outlook have been synced with my iPhone, it is just these newly added contacts on the iPhone did not sync into Outlook.

Your question doesn't make sense. Facebook has nothing to do with syncing an iDevice. Explain your problem if you want an answer.

My contacts on my iphone won't sync to icloud. Any suggestions??

My contacts on my iPhone won't sync to iCloud. Any suggestions??

Yes contacts is on and the account listed is the iCloud account (@me.com)
When I go onto iCloud the only contact there is my @me.com email. This account was set up so I could use iCloud but I also have a yahoo account on my iPhone if this has anything to do with it.

Contacts on iPhone do not sync to iCloud

I use Outlook on Windows7 and iPhone 4 to sync thru iCloud. Calendar, Photostream and Contacts sync successfully, but Contacts sync only for the first time. Added contacts or edited contacts do not sync between iPhone and iCloud, but they sync between Outlook and iCloud. I just realized now that the "working" circulating icon appears all the time when I open Contacts and it never disappear, so it is trying to do something but never synced to iCloud. What would be the problem?

Here's how I fixed it:
When you're in contacts on ipad or iphone, touch "groups" on upper left. I was making all changes on my ipad/iphone when I had the group "all contacts" chosen. Choose "all icloud" group and leave it there and when you add or make changes, it will sync to icloud. All my contacts were on my google account, but not in icloud so I used the following instructions to sync my google contacts to icloud. It worked perfectly. Now I leave my ipad/iphone group set to "all icloud" and it's all syncing to icloud between the ipad2/iphone 4s and imac.
Thought I'd share how I did this since I'm new to iPhones, iCloud.
I found other tutorials that involved iTunes and such but I didn't want the hassle.
Requirements are Gmail Account and a valid iCloud account (Apple ID)
1. Go to your Google Contacts
2. Click the More menu > Export
3. Choose the group or all of your contacts you wish to export, whichever you prefer.
4. Choose vCard format and click the Export button.
5. You will now have a contacts.vcf which has been downloaded to your computer. Put it on your desktop if you prefer.
6. Rename contacts.vcf to yournamehere.vcf (example: stephan.vcf)
7. Log in to iCloud. www.icloud.com
8. Click Contacts
Important Note: Make sure there are no contacts listed here before importing or this may not work. The page needs to be blank.
9. Drag the .vcf file into the window under All Contacts.
The page will highlight with a blue rectangle when you drag the .vcf onto it. Wait a little bit. (It took about 8 seconds for mine to import. I only have 136 contacts though.)
On your iPhone, go to Settings > iCloud and make sure Contacts is listed as ON.

IPhone 4 (IOS 4.3.3) Exchange 2003 Contacts created on iPhone will NOT sync w Exchange

if a contact is created in Exchange (via Outlook or OWA) it will sync into the iPhone flawlessly. But if it is created on the iPhone, it WILL NOT go into Exchange. I sync to my PC; I make sure enough time has passed for a iPhone sync-still DOES NOT WORK.
HELP PLEASE

This sounds very much like the sync is set to the wrong account when you have more than one email account you must set the correct account to be the one to sync to.... in settings mail contacts and calendars check to see which is the default account... and ensure the exchange one is the default account if that is what you want to sync with ref contacts. Also do this in the calendars section at the bottom default calendar. i have this a lot with my directors they add entries into the iphone calendar and not the exchnage caledar and wonder why they are not syncing !!!! you can also see this in calendars itself their is a tab in the top left corner showning which calendars are being used, also each calendar entry will tell you which calendar it is using

How to insure that contacts and calendar are NOT synced with ICloud?

Hello,
I do not understand, why it is not possible anymore to sync your contacts and calendar data between your mac book and your mobile devices using USB cable.
I also heard that with Maverick and Itunes 11.1.2 you can not sync anything using USB anymore, is that true?
Why is it not possible to let the customer decide how to sync their data? Why not leaving both options?
In case it is true that with Maverick and Itunes 11.1.2 you are not able to sync using USB anymore, does anybody know a good app to sync your photos and address data between your computer and mobile devices?
How can I insure that my contacts and calendar data are NOT automatically synced with ICloud?
Yesterday I synced some Photos from my macbook to my IPad and wondered why I had the photos twice. I realized that my IPad had ICloud enabled, after disabling ICloud one picture folder (Photostream) was gone. What do do to avoid that my MacBook is sending Photos to ICloud?
However, when I opened ICloud today, I did not find photos, but I found some address data from my MacBook in the Cloud.
I do not want to have my contacts and calendar data anywhere else on a server.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Hark

Connect your phone to your computer using the USB power cable that you charge your phone with.
Launch iTunes, it will go thru the normal sync back up progress bar thing at the top, let it finish.
Then
double click on the phone in the left side bar then click INFO at the top of that pane, it will allow you select what you want to sync (contacts,calendar,etc) make your selections and click apply, then click sync. There buttons along the top for different functions (Movies, Apps, etc) just make sure that you do not have anything checked (like your whole music library) that will not fit on the phone.

My iphone is not syncing with iCloud

Hi, i have just noticed (it may have been going on for a few weeks) that my iPhone 4 (IOS6) will not sync with icloud. This has not been a problem in the past. If I put a new event on the phone, it is not shown on icloud and vice-versa.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Try Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [scroll down to the Contacts area] > Default Account.
Is this set to "iCloud"?
Do you have such a setting (Default Account)? Frankly, I don't ... all my contacts have been in iCloud (only) for years. But I'm thinking you do have this setting based on this article:

Calendar events on my iPhone are not synching to iCloud. iOS latest, Calendar 6.0

I can't get my iPhone calendar to update events to or from iCloud. I've tried event setting I can find. I've set the Calendar 6.0 programe on my MacBook and it works fine with iCloud and I can see my MacBook events on www.icloud.com. But events on the iPhone are not there and vice versa. What could I possible have missed?
I've read a lot of disscusion, didn't understand most of it. I'm at wits end.
Thanks,
John

On the device, go to settings>icloud and look to be sure it is logged into the right account and be sure the Calendar sync is turned on.
Is the device syncing with icloud with any of the other services, like contacts?

HT5824 photos taken on my Iphone are not appearing in ICloud/IPhoto. ( to my knowledge, the settings are set for "share/upload"

Photos taken on my Iphone do not appear in ICloud. I've checked the settings but am unable to determine
what, if anything, I need to do inorder to syn the photos.
Technically, I need to review the settings on my Iphone and ICloud that will enable a seamless transfer of photos.
Additionally, I need to review the computer (microsoft)setting that enable a sync of photos with ICloud.

Everything is fine, because there is no web application for photos at the moment. These are the options to view your Photo Stream:
-On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, your photos will appear in the Photos app in the Photo Stream album.
-On your Mac, they appear in the Photo Stream view in iPhoto or Aperture.
-On a PC, your photos download to the Photo Stream download folder. By default, this folder is located at C:\Users\Apple\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream. You can change this location by visiting Photo Stream Options in the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
-On Apple TV, your photos will appear in the Photo Stream view under Internet in the main Apple TV menu after you sign in with your iCloud account.
