Sync iphone contact with icloud

I've entered new contact information on my iPhone, but those phone numbers are not appearing for that contact in the iCloud subfolder in Outlook. What is the best way to sync contact information in Outlook so information on my iPhone is updated in my iCloud (in Outlook).

The first thing to check is to go to icloud.com on your computer, then enter a new contact on your phone and see if it appears in your contacts on icloud.com. Then do the same thing in Outlook.
When you do this, which is not syncing new contacts to icloud.com?

Syncing iphone contacts with iCloud does not work

I navigate to my iPhone 4 Settings and from there chose the option which is named iCloud
I turn OFF Contacts choosing to keep contacts on my iPhone and then turn it ON again.
I get prompted with the option to Merge my iPhone contacts with the ones I have on the iCloud already. I click "Merge".
I wait until the iCloud service is turned on for my iPhone contacts.
Finally, I go back to the Contacts app on my iPhone and click Groups, which is there I assume because I have multiple email accounts linked to my iPhone. I refresh my contact list by clicking on the circular arrow in the top left corner of the screen on the iPhone.
Contacts I have recently added to my iPhone are NOT transferred to iCloud.
Why is this not working?
<Personal Information Edited by Host>

Go on system preferences / iCloud and check if Calendar is turned on.
Then take your iPhone 4 and go on Settings/iCloud and check if the Calendar is turned on.
If both are on with the same Apple ID, it should all go fine.
You can go on iCloud.com, logon with your Apple ID and click on the calendar to verify.

How do I sync iphone contacts with icloud AND gmail on PC without Outlook

I own an iphone and ipad and use a PC. I will eventually change the PC to a Mac but until then I would like to know that any new or edited contacts (on my iphone) are being backed up somwhere. I am using the icloud but my PC tells me I need Outlook. I don't want to buy Outlook (knowing that I will eventually move to MAC).
I paid extra storage for icloud thinking it was backing my photographs and contacts up but this isn't happening.
I currently have two copies of all my contacts (over 1000 of them) on my iphone and ipad and nothing showing on my PC. My google account (which I like to think of as my 'main' place to store contacts) isn't being updated with changes on my iphone

I manage all of my email in Outlook, delete email and trash it however the update isn't reflected in the Cloud and\or Apple email. I have to then open up Apple mail and delete again.
Then something is setup incorrectly, which version of OSX are you on, and is this an iCloud mail address (@mac, @me or @icloud)
From your description of the issue I suspect that it is Outlook that is incorrectly setup.

Syncing iPhone contacts with a specific Group on iCloud/computer

I am using iOS 7 and run Mavericks. I want to sync (be it either through iCloud or through the desktop) the contents of my iPhone contacts with a specific group of contacts on either iCloud or a group in Contacts. How do I do that?

Hello Jim,
It took forever. With MobileMe, it was immediate.
Up in the cloud the clocks seem to tick differently and time is relative, so we will just have to learn to be patient ...
To be serious, the first iCloud experiences seem to be different on the different continents, depending on the time zone you are in. In Europe there does not seem to be so much traffic up in the Cloud during day time as in the states,

Overwrite iPhone contacts with iCloud contacts

How do I overwrite the contacts on my iPhone with all of my contacts on iCloud? My husband gave me his iPhone after mine was stolen and it has all of his contacts currently. All of my contacts are successfully stored on iCloud, but I don't want to turn on iCloud -> Contacts sync and have his 1000+ contacts merged from this iPhone up to my 1000+ contacts on iCloud.
I tried to delete all of his contacts from the iPhone but I no longer have the Edit button on my Contacts after upgrading the device to iOS5.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the tips everyone. I finally figured it out.
I first put the iPhone in airplane mode so it couldn't sync. Then I went into Settings -> iCloud and turned on Contacts, saying I wanted to Merge the contacts. I was then able to start deleting Contacts (the Edit button was now available in my Contacts screen). After deleting a few contacts and deciding that would take way too long I went back into Settings -> iCloud and turned off Contacts. It then asked what I wanted to do with all of the contacts on my iPhone that had been merged with iCloud contacts (though they really hadn't b/c I'd been in Airplane mode all the while). I said I did not want to keep them. I went back out to check my Contacts and they had all been deleted. Success!
With an empty Contact list I turned off Airplane mode, went back into Settings -> iCloud and turned Contacts sync back on and my iCloud contacts started immediately sync'ing down to my newly cleaned out Contact list.

How do I sync iPhone contacts with osx 10.9.4 contacts?

I have an iPhone running iOS 7.1.2.
It has 143 contacts in it.
I have a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.9.4 with 'Contacts' 8.0.
It shows the same 33 contacts I entered when I got my iPhone in 2012.
I have been trying to update, i.e., SYNC, the contacts in my MacBook Pro's Contacts 8.0 using a USB cable without any luck. I'm not a big fan of iCloud.
I have SYNC CONTACTS checked in iTunes 11.2.2 INFO with my iPhone connected via USB.
Since the MacBook Pro's Contact 8.0 is where my contacts SHOULD be saved and THE most BASIC way to save the contacts, I'm amazed at how convoluted and difficult it is to sync my iPhone's contacts with Contacts 8.0 on my MacBook Pro.
What am I missing?

Hello AuCountry,
Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities.
You don't say what you have tried and what you see when you do try to sync, but this article is the place to start to sync your iPhone.

Sync iPhone contacts with Gmail contacts whille having Outlook contacts

Hi,
I am currently syncing my iPhone's contacts with itunes ->Outlook.
Which means that all my contacts being saved on my Outlook account.
I also have many people/contacts on my Gmail accound that I wish to get in to my iPhone.
BUT:
The problem is that I am afraid to sync and get many many duplicates.
There is a way to merge both without making a MASS?
Plus:
It could be really nice to have all the contacts from my iPhone backed up on my Gmail account.
Thanks!!

Do you want to sync with Outlook.com or Windows PC Outlook? I'm guessing the latter since it sounds like you prefer to protect your privacy by not synching with the cloud. Try http://www.akruto.com. I've been using it with my iPhone and iPad without any problems. Website doesn't mention iOS, but I found out from a friend that it works with iOS and it does.

Sync iphone contacts with ipad

I just purchased a new iPad Mini and cant seem to sync up my iPhone contacts to appear on my iPad.. any help here would be appreciated.
thanks,

You first need to make sure you sync all of your iPhone contacts to the iCloud (not back up to the iCloud but sync). To do, on your iPhone, go to Settings > iCloud > and turn the Contacts switch to ON. Next, tap on "Merge".
Do the same action on your iPad too. Make sure you use the same iCloud account credentials on both devices.
Both your iPhone and iPad contacts should now be synced

Syncing iphone contacts with Gmail contacts through itunes

is there a way to sync my iphone contacts and calendar with Gmail contacts and calendar directly through itunes?
when i am on itunes and i open teh drop menu next to contacts, i only get teh option of windowns contacts or outlook. i saw in some blogs this same drop menu having google contacts as well.

hi ArtisticGeek
i am more concerned with syncing contacts and calendar (just the same way i sync them now with outlook)
i am refering to the attached picture and the dtop menu in it and wondering why i don't have the same.
reason being that i have a samsung tablet and an iphone and i just want to be able to have the same contact list and calendar notes on both and the only common platform to do that is Google contacts.

Is anyone else having difficulty syncing yahoo contacts with icloud?

I don't know how long it has been since my yahoo contacts quit syncing with icloud to my ipod touch 4g. I've tried every possible combination today and nothing will get it to work other than going back to the old way of syncing through itunes with the cable connected.
The yahoo group of contacts is blank on my ipod but it seems to be syncing with the "All from My Pc" group which I don't quite understand. I thought before the yahoo group of contacts was full of the yahoo syncd contacts.
I use Yahoo mail so I'm not crazy about moving over to Google although I did already move to use the Google calendar with an android tablet and I am syncing the google calendar just fine with both the android tablet and the ipod touch.
Thanks,
Nic

Yes, I've had call quality issues with my S5. I can hear callers just fine. To them, I sound broken, or they hear nothing but static and garbled noise. Speakerphone works, but is not ideal. Bluetooth works, but I'm not always in my car or connected to bluetooth. A plugged in headset works.
For a time, turning off bluetooth seemed to resolve this. Then I did the update to Lollipop, and the issue intensified. I've tried multiple setting combinations (HD calling off and on, Bluetooth off and on, network Global to LTE/CDMA, Noise reduction off and on, etc...) I've done a system cache clear, FDR, deactivated and reactivated.... finally activated another phone I had available since the S5 was pretty much unusable as a phone. And I'm waiting for a patch to see if it makes a difference.
I wish I had a solution....

Struggling to Sync iPhone contacts to iCloud? Here's a possible solution!

I was struggling all day trying to figure out why my contacts were appearing on my iPhone 5, but not on my Macbook Pro Late 2011 Edition. To make a long story short, I was able to add contacts to my Contact app on my Macbook and have them sync immediately to my iPhone, but was not able to do it vice-versa.
Here was the cause:
I opened up my Contacts app on my iPhone 5
I hit 'Groups' at the top left side of the app.
I was given three options; Show All Contacts, All Outlook, and All iCloud.
I had All Outlook and All iCloud checked.
I created a fake person on my Mac Contact's app and it showed up immediately under my phone.
After thinking on it for some time, I came back and unchecked All Outlook.
By doing this, only my one fake contact appeared.
This was then a red flag to me that I had stored all of my contacts as Outlook contacts, not as iCloud contacts. If you're having a similar problem, it could be that you are storing your contacts under your email, not as iCloud, which is a huge problem for Mac users who want to integrate everything together. I like to go to my Messages app on the Mac and have a name to go with each conversation, and when my phone is charging pick up the conversation on the Mac. First, go into your iPhone settings and assuming you're running iOS 7, others may differ, hit 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars', scroll down to the sub category 'Contacts' and make sure your Default account is set to iCloud. Mine was set to Outlook which is why all of my contacts were stored in Outlook.
I found a very easy, quick fix to migrate the contacts from my Outlook to my iCloud! This solution works as a Verizon user.
Download the Backup Assistant app from the App Store on your iPhone.
Run the Backup Assistant.
Log into your Verizon account and hit "Manage Contacts"
You will then be brought to a page with contacts from your phone.
From here, Select All Contacts and hit the 'Gear' icon.
Click "Export Contacts"
This will create a file for you to refer to in the future so remember where you save it and make multiple copies.
Head over to your iPhone and download MultiDelete contact app. This app is used to delete multiple contacts instead of going one by one.
Once you have finished deleting your contacts from everything, including iCloud and your email program (mine was Outlook), you will have a clean and empty contacts book on your iPhone.
Go to your Mac now and open up Contacts.
Find the MyContacts.csv file and within Contacts, hit 'File' - 'Import' and browse to where MyContacts.csv is.
This will then add all of your contacts back into your phone, but as iCloud contacts, not as Outlook contacts or association with any other email address
Open up MultiDelete one more time and search for duplicates. Once you have found that there are no duplicates, you are all set.
Some people just like to turn off Contacts under their Mail, Contacts, etc... folder on their iPhone but that's not deleting them. This deletes them from the email program on the phone and makes them into iCloud contacts. Now, if you navigate to iCloud.com and log in, hit Contacts, all of your contacts are available. This is especially nice to have because if you ever use Messages on your Mac, you can text message right off your Mac!
This solution is only used for people running newer versions of both iOS and OSX. I am running iOS 7.1 currently and running the latest, most up-to-date version of Mavericks at the time this article is being written.
I figured after all of the trouble I went through today, I would share hoping that maybe somebody in a similar situation can get the fix they desire. Always enter your contacts app on your phone and uncheck your email version to test and see if they are iCloud contacts. As an Apple user with mutliple devices, this is especially helpful. You want all of your Apple devices integrated together from iPod touch to iPad, to Mac, to iPhone, as long as everything is in iCloud, you can sync them across multiple devices effortlessly.
Also, if this solution doesn't help, I'd start by troubleshooting and checking the following:
Making sure your iCloud is set up on each device and that you have turned on exactly what you desire to share between devices (whether it's contacts to calendar events)
If that's all set up, definitely look into my solution above.
If you're still having trouble, contact Apple Live Chat or give them a call. They were stumped by this issue I had, however after brainstorming a bit I figured it out myself.
I hope this helps a few people!

Syncing iPhone Contacts with Windows Contacts and Windows Live Mail Contacts (Windows 7)

Please see the following graphic in which I have attempted to depict this situation from what I have been able to find, and please refer to the following thread (third post) for further details:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3728606

Allan Sampson wrote:
Microsoft copied Google and now supports accessing a Hotmail or Windows Live Mail account as an Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app. This provides Push access for received messages and for syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with the account on your iPhone.
For syncing calendar events direct with an application on your computer via the iTunes sync process, you need Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010.
I understand your second statement about the needing Outlook - but I'm trying to reconcile it with your first paragraph - there is support for calendar events over the air between Windows Live and iPhone? So it can be done, just not physically through syncing via iTunes?

Sync iPhone contacts without iCloud by using Bittorrent Sync?

iCloud (or iTunes) has messed up my contacts again, duplicating and altering some. Bittorrent Sync is highly recommended for syncing folders between multiple devices without going through any cloud server. It would be perfect for syncing contacts but it's not possible to find the contacts data on an iPhone. Is there a way?

Ask Bittorrent
