Two Macs - Multiple Contacts - Not syncing what I want

I have two Macs - one home and one office. The contact/address list I want is from my home computer. I hooked my iPhone up to my office computer and my home contacts disappeared. I reconnected to my home computer, yet it will not sync the contacts from my home computer to my iPhone. Also, I have 3-4 of the same contacts. What I would like to do is wipe my iPhone address/contact list clean, then start over. How do I do this?

After syncing contacts with the Address Book on your home Mac, you should have been provided a merge prompt when syncing contacts with the Address Book on your Mac at the office if the Address Book on your Mac at the office includes any contacts.
Try resetting the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder.

Using iCloud Glen ?
If so, on your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Select: Contacts
Give iCloud a few minutes to sync the data.
For the iPad, make sure Contacts is switched on. Tap Settings > iCloud

I had just upgraded my OS to the OS X Mavericks. After doing so, I noticed that my MS Outlook for Mac 2011 does not sync with the calendar/contacts/notes, thus, also not sync these info with my iPhone4s anymore. Please help, thank you.

Dear Sirs,
I had just upgraded my OS to the OS X Mavericks. After doing so, I noticed the following changes:
1) My MS Outlook for Mac 2011 does not sync with my Mac book's calendar/contacts/notes.
2) My iPhone4s does not sync with my Mac book's calendar/contacts/notes anymore.
Please help, thank you.

Correct, USB local sync was taken away from iphones and ipads with 10.9.1 and 2. We are not allowed to speculate on rumours it might come back in 10.9.3 plus new iTunes. Either wait and see or explore Syncmate 5 beta free trial.
icloud still works.
Cant help with the Outlook problem.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.

Contacts not syncing either way

I just noticed that my contacts are syncing -- either way.
I added a new contact to phone yesterday and have synced phone twice. New contact doesn't appear on my Mac.
So I changed one of the contacts on my Mac and synced again. The change didn't appear in the phone.
Are there any fixes for this? Thanks/

Hi,
same problem here: iPhone does not sync contacts any more, either way. I've searched Discussions, reinstalled iTunes after having deleted prefs and cache, reinitialised iSync history, restaured iPhone to factory setting, unlocked again with Ziphone 3.0, checked New phone in iTunes, nothing nothing nothing: no contacts were transferred from my Mac to the iPhone. I've tried to back up and erase my Addressbook: useless. I've tried adding a single contact. not synced. I've checked, and I don't have any particular custom filed on my Addressbook. I've noticed that on iTunes the contacts groups that I have on my AB, are not seen and checkable on the INFO tab, sync contacts section. It's like iTunes and AddressBook are not "communicating".
I can't believe such a vital function cannot work! and I have no clue what do to, since I refuse to reinstall Leopard for such an issue, too much of an hassle!
Please, help!

Mac book pro not syncing

My mac book is not syncing. When I click on the circular arrows at the top of the screen it gives me a message hat no devices are syncing. Please help.

Not syncing to what? You need to be more descriptive and provide information in as much as no one here is sitting next to you and your Mac nor are we omniscient.

TS3991 Neither of my two Macs will upload or sync iWork documents to iCloud

Neither of my two Macs will upload or sync iWork documents to iCloud. My iOS divides have no trouble syncing documents to iCloud over the same network as the Macs. I have rest iCloud, and made sure that my iCloud documents preferences were correct. This is getting extremely frustrating. Anyone have some suggestions?

Could you tell us what happens when you try to sync your documents with iCloud.

My iphone is not syncing what can I do?

my iphone is not syncing what can i do?

Hard to say with so little information.
What does "will not synch to itunes when i connect it to my computer" mean?
Does itunes recognize your iphone?
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
If it does see it, then what is the problem?
What have you tried?
What was the result?
Error message?

When I plug my iPad into my Mac it will not sync

When I plug my iPad into my Mac it will not sync and my iPad will not charge. I've used every chord that I own. In addition, I've plug other things into my Mac and they work fine. If I plug my iPad into the wall it charges.

Then it doesn't seem like its the cable then does it.
If the iPad isn't being recognized in iTunes, you can start with something very simple. Quit iTunes, reboot your iPad, restart your Mac and then try again.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If it still isn't being seen by iTunes, look for help here.

Contacts not synced - perform a repair installatio...

Just syncing contacts with Ovi Suite and it comes up with a failure message. Okay fine, but it's telling me to effectively reinstall Ovi Suite to fix it!
"Contacts not synced - Perform a repair installation of your Nokia Ovi Suite Then sync again. Error code: 83950003"
Seems it knows there's a specific bug and rather than fix it properly or provide a neat user experience so it's fixed under the hood, they just go for making the user do something they should never need to do.

I have seen this mostly happening due to Nokia Connectivity cable not working. Please try the steps provided below, might work.
1. Disconnect your phone from PC if connected.
2 .Open Control Panel and go to ‘Programs and Features’
3. From the list of available programs, choose ‘Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver’
4. Click on the ‘Change’ button on top toolbar.
5. In the setup dialog box that pops up next, choose ‘Repair’ and select ok. Wait for setup to complete.
6. Restart the computer if prompted.
7. Now connect your phone to the PC. Ovi suite (hopefully) should detect your mobile properly now and sync correctly .
Cheers

HT1925 My iphone is not syncing, what to do?

I need to sync my I phone with my apple itunes account and am not able to do it.
There was a message for reinstall itunes and accidently i have reinstalled itunes after downloading it, now my iphone is not syncing, what to do

I understand you to be saying the iPhone shows up in iTunes (e.g., you see the iPhone's Summary page), but it does not show up in iTunes' Preferences > Devices.
From the iPhone's summary page in iTunes, click "Back Up Now". That should place it there - on the Preferences > Devices tab.

Ive just brought program. It will not do what I want. I want refund!

HT4872 My gmail contacts and my iphone contacts are synced. I want to un-sync them

My gmail contacts and my iphone contacts are synced. I want to disconnect this function from my phone and be able to edit and remove all those contacts that are just email addresses. How can I do this?

Settings > mail, contacts, calendars > Gmail > contacts > off > select "delete from my iPhone." This will delete all of them.
If you want to selectively edit out what you don't want, keep them and manually edit your contact.
