Why are my contacts not updating?

I am syncing my contacts from my iPhone 5S to my Macbook pro and the newest information is not transferring to my macbook.  Can someone help?
I have old contact info on my macbook and want the updated info on my iPhone to transfer.

Hello dgt111,
Glad to hear the information helped!  
Happy Sunday!

  • HT1665 Why are my contacts not listed ?  They used to be there.

    Why are my contacts not listed?  They used to be there.

    I had the same thing happen to me.  It's a bug in iPhoto 9.4.2.
    The first time you run iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2, it "updates the iPhoto library".  This sometimes tickles a bug where iTunes can see all your iPhoto albums, but iTunes thinks they are empty.  Since iTunes thinks all your albums are empty, it dutifully deletes any photos from your synced iOS devices.
    It's easy to tell if this is the problem you are seeing.  Open iTunes and go to the photos sync panel for one of your iOS devices.  If you have multiple albums checked, but iTunes shows a total of 0 photos, then you have the problem.
    I spent an hour with an Apple Genius.  he couldn't find any mention of this problem in their internal support system.  His recomendation was to reinstall the operating the system.  I suspect that this won't solve it.
    The only solution I have found is to restore iPhoto 9.4.1 and the corresponding iPhoto library from your backups.
    I would refrain from upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2 until Apple has a fix for this issue.

  • Why are my contacts not backing up to iCloud?

    My iPhone shows I have 1676 contacts but my iCloud shows i only have 382.  Why are my contacts not backing up to iCloud?

    On your phone, how many of your contacts are in the On My Phone group, or any other group that is not iCloud, and how many are in the iCloud group (382?)

    Not the same thing, don't confuse a backup of your phone with an iCloud data account. Backup is a separate function.

  • I've just started using the App Tabs. I think this feature could be handy but why are the sites not updated when I start Firefox. Now I have to manually update the site which is somewhat of a downer. Does any of you know where I'm going wrong?

    To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
    Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

  • TS1702 Why are my apps not updating

    Why are my updates not working for my apps.

    Unless you're using iTunes on your computer to update, you should update only one app at a time.  If you have a bunch of apps in "Waiting" state, click all them to get them to "Paused".  Then, one at a time, click one to get it to Downloading, then Installing, and finally Open.  Then repeat on the next app, etc.

  • Why are my Contacts NOT in alpha order (neither First nor Last order works)?

    It doesn't matter what order I specify in Preferences, the Contacts are not in alphabetical order. This is crazy! What am I doing wrong?
    It has to be something very simple and it's right in front of me, but I just can't see what the problem is.
    Thanks.
    Matt

    It could be that you have spurious characters in the filenames? When you do a Manual sort a hidden file is created in the folder you are working in .BridgeSort this is just a text file with the list/order of the files. It might be worth having a look at the file and see if anything strange is happening.

  • Why are my contacts not syncing

    When I enter a new contact on my phone, I am finding that when I sync the contact are not showing up in Outlook.  I have checked the settings, and they are showing that contact should be syncing.  I suspect that it is something to do with iCloud which seems to be very selective with the calendars as well
    Can any one help, I am very confused!

    Do you have any email addresses set up on your phone? MobileMe? Google? Exchange?

  • Why are my contacts not syncing from my iphone to my mac?

    I enter phone numbers on my iphone, but they don't seem to be showing up on my computer, even after I have synced.  I have no idea why.  I'm thinking of shutting off iCloud (I don't see any benefit to it right now, unless I'm using it wrong), will that help?  I'm getting very frustrated having to enter contacts twice (one in my phone when I'm out and about, and another time if I want it on my computer's address book).

    Have you done any of Apple's recommended troubleshooting?
    See: iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts
    It's also helpful to mention what OS you are using on your iPhone and Mac.

  • Why are my contacts and calendars showing up on my daughter's iphone after I updated?  Help!

    Why are my contacts and calendar showing up on my daughter's iphone after I updated?  Is there anyway to remove them or stop
    them from going directly to her phone?  Help!!!!  Thanks guys 

    So, am I to conclude from all this that the best thing for one iMac and multiple family devices (2 x iphones, 1 x itouch, 2 x ipods) is to set up itunes account for each family member.  We don't use iCloud except for my (primary iphone)
    We had similar problems to the above, and since the recent 6.0.1 update we've started getting each others texts, on top of my wife and I's contacts being replicated to our young son's itouch, and a seemingly random redistribution of apps.

  • Why are my contacts showing numbers and not names

    Why are my contacts showing numbers and not names?

    When you added your contact details in the contact app did you fill in the fields correctly.  For example in contacts where it says "first" did you enter a number instead of a name?

  • Why are my apps not downloading?

    Why are my apps not downloading? They just sit there waiting and I keep getting an error saying that my purchases cannot be downloaded at this time and to try again later. I have tried logging out and in, and rebooting but neither has worked

    Same problem here.  Not able to update any apps or to download new purchased music.  Doesn't work on iPad, iPhone, or iTunes.  Tried with 3G download rather than wifi on the phone and iPad.  It still hasn't worked.  I changed me credit card, but without success.
    The store is currently broken for some users, maybe all.
