Why do Telephone contacts NOT sync with Contacts?

When someone calls me and I Create a new Contact from the phone number, the contact appears in the Phone App, but not in Contacts?
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance, Cheers, Veit
iOS7.04 on the iPhone, OSX Mountain Lion on Mac

Tried to post as a new question but getting the alert "I cannot create new content"?? 
This started about a week ago, same time as when iMessage appeared on the desktop.  iTunes and iPhone4s are both updated.  I did the latest iTunes update last night hoping it would be fixed but still the same. 
Settings iCloud both contact and calendars are turned on.  iTunes is set up to back up to the Cloud.  I've also switched to backing up to the Computer. 
I change Calendar on the computer and it always syncs the iPhone.  Contacts almost always add on the iPhone but they never sync to computer.  I notice iMessage only shows contact names from before this happened.  Otherwise it says the phone number on the desktop and the full contact on iPhone.
Any refs or suggestions much appreciated. 
thx

  • Why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts?

    why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts?  In fact it loses contacts during syncing.
    In Itunes it is set to automatically sync to the laptop and in info sync contacts is checked and all contacts are checked.

    Why will my ipad not sync with calendars on my imac?

    I did find the info tab while trying to sync my calendars, but my iPhone5, iPhone 4S and iPad still won't sync to my MacBook Pro.
    Are you using Mac OS 10.9  Mavericks?
    There is no Info tab and you need to sync contacts & calendars via iCloud.

    My account names for iCloud and iTunes is different, is this why my Iphone4 is not syncing with my iMac?

    No, perfectly normal to have a separate iTunes account for music/app purchases to the one you use for iCloud syncing of contacts, notes, etc.

  • Why does my IPad not sync with my IPhone for Ibooks bookmarks?

    Why does my IPad not sync with my IPhone for IBooks bookmarks?  Both Pad and Phone have sync turned on.

    I must apologize as I misread your post. I though that you were talking about Safari bookmarks but you post does clearly state iBooks bookmarks.
    You may want to just try restarting both devices and see if that helps. One other thing that you could try is quit iBooks on both devices and then launch it again and see if the bookmarks are synced when you relaunch.

  • Contacts not syncing with icloud

    Contacts on my office 2010 not syncing with iCloud

    Check the iCloud Control Panel: Start > Control Panel List View > iCloud:
    Sign in with correct Apple ID used with iCloud on your device.
    Put a check mark next to top selection of Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Tasks with Outlook.
    Click "Apply" and save changes made here.
    Check iCloud.com Contacts
    Go to iCloud.com > Sign in with your Apple ID used for iCloud on your device > Open "Contacts" > Check the listed contacts and groups are properly displaying as they are seen on your device or computer
    If the above simple setup and checks do not solve your issue seek further help from the support article here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998

  • Why is my iCal not syncing with my iPhone and iPad?

    After upgrading to iOS5 and all the iCloud things, my iCal is not syncing with my iPhone or my iPad.  I've tried all the setting, but cannot figure out what I'm doing or not doing that it won't sync.  I checked the Cloud and the calendar is there.  Can anyone help?

    I had this problem, too. To reiterate, events on the iPad and iCloud were loading down into iCal on my Macbook Pro, but events I put on my MacBook Pro were not migrating back.
    It comes down to which calendar the event is listed under. In iCal (right now) your default calendars are all local. If you change the event to an iCloud calendar, the migration is seamless. So, when you create an event, just scroll down in calendars, pick the iCloud equivalent to the "On my Mac" calendars (they're mirrored/duplicated) and it all works just fine.
    I hope that helps.

  • Contacts not syncing with iPhone

    Only some of my contacts from my Mac are on my phone.   My notes are not on my phone.
    When I go to System Preferences then iCloud, I see my account ([email protected]) has everything checked. When I click on Manage Family, I see my wife, my iTunes account, and my iCloud account.
    When I look at my Contacts preference, I see my both my wife's and my iCloud account enabled, with mine as primary, and everything checked except her mail.
    When I click on my iPhone within iTunes, and look at "Info", it says my contacts and calendars are being synced with my iPhone over the air from iCloud".
    When I look at iCloud in Finder, I don't see any files - I used to use my wife's iCloud (so I could update contacts for her), but I don't see files he has there - even though I shared some folders from her computer with me.
    When I look at settings on my phone, I see that my iCloud setting is my iCloud account, with everything turned on - except "Keychain" is "Pending".   "Notes" is turned on, but are empty, while "Notes" on my Mac are populated with the same notes that are on my wife's computer.
    Both my phone and my Mac have the same messages using my iCloud account.
    I have rebooted my Mac and my iPhone several times.
    My iPad still is connected to my wife's iCloud and sees the notes and full contacts file.   iTunes shows it synchronizing "All contacts" and "All calendars"   And there are *lots* of greyed out selected calendars.
    I don't know how to get the rest of my contacts from my Mac to my iPhone.   I don't know how to get notes from my Mac to my iPhone.   And I don't know how to access the files on my wife's iCloud drive.

  • All contacts not syncing with curve 8900 and desktop 7

    I've been trying this for a year and I've had no success. This 8900 is my 4th Blackberry. While I've done backups with the others this is the first time I've tried to sync the info. When I first synced I thought everything was OK, but then I noticed a lot of the contacts didnt sync. A lot of iportant ones. I've tried everything and hit a wall. I've gone thru all the 395 contacts, deleted a bunch, fixed a bunch and made everything ready. I've talked to Microsoft, AT&T and the BB folks and still nothing. When I synced it to my PC, 179 of 395 synced and the Outlook folder size is 297kb. I just synced to my laptop and only 124 synced and the folder size is 120kb. I checked the options on the 8900 contact list and it shows my gmail address as the name of my Contact list. I've NEVER loaded my gmail info on this or any other BB. I checked my gmail and there are NO contacts listed. Never have been. I followed the instructions, went to Default Services and there is no Contacts option, only Calendar and Messaging which have my primary email ([email protected]) as the services. I have loaded info for the Netzero email, Roadrunner email and Blackberry email. Did load the Yahoo account name but never connected it. Just checked the service books and there is no gmail info. There'sno option to rename the contact list and I can't see if there are any subfolders under it. I HAVE TO GET ALL THIS INFO TO A PLACE WHERE I CAN ACCESS IT TO TRANSFER TO A NEW NON-BLACKBERRY PHONE. I've literally spent hours researching, talking on the phone and it is still not working. I lost 3 days on it this we3ek that I was supposed to be on the other coast of Florida visiting a High School beauty thats down for a week, a cousin that's fighting cancer and  a musician friend. I worked on the highest problem parts of the Space Shuttle Boosters and worked thru some seemingly impossible problems. As a result I had a mental breakdown and now have to depend on othersm whicdh I never did before. Seems like everybody that could help or might have info isn't sharing. I CAN'T BE THE FIRST PERSON THAT'S HAD THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

  • Outlook contacts not syncing with Pre via exchange server

    I am a Pre user and I am having two problems.  1.  The Pre is not syncing contacts with Outlook.  We use exchanger server and do have an SSL cert.  Email works fine.  2. Since I got my Pre some contacts have mysteriously been removed or filed in sub contact folders.  Any ideas?  Thanks!
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    Have you removed your EAS account from the device? Also did your IT do any updates to the server or your account recently? It could be your IT is blocking Contacts from syncing though EAS or an update disabled this feature.

  • ICloud contacts not syncing with my Mac address book

    When I log into iCloud and enter a new contact or edit a contact, the new contact info does not get transferred to my Mac Contacts, and I have the iCloud account enabled in Contact prreferences.
    My wife and I have found similar problems with the Calendar.
    Is there something that I am doing incorrectly or is this just a reliability problem with using iCloud?
    Note: I have been using gmail/Google to manage my mail, contacts, and calendar, and don't have a problem keeping this properly synced with my MBA and iOS devices.
    I am asking the question above, since I thought it would be nice to consolidate contacts and calendar events to one platform, but it needs to be a reliable platform.
    OSX 10.8.2

    For photo stream, if the source of the photos is an iOS device, be sure the photo app used to take the picture has been turned off, not just sleeping.
    Have you rebooted the computer?  The router?

  • RINGTONES NOT SYNC WITH CONTACTS?

    My ringtones are not syched with my contacts, since update to iOS 5.0.1.  The ringtones are on my phone, and each contact shows the correct selected ringtone, but only the single ringtone that will play is the default as selected under Settings/Sounds/Ringtone.  Anyone have an idea as how to correct?

    This is a software issue. When this happened the Apple Genius swapped out my older iPhone as it had no water damage or anything of the like. You fix this by restoring the phone and SETTING IT UP AS A NEW IPHONE. This happens when certain files needed to process the photos info get corrupted (Usually during an Upgrade of the firmware). When restoring DO NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP! SETTING UP AS A NEW PHONE IS REQUIRED TO FIX THIS.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why are my podcasts not syncing with Apple TV when all devices connect to the same Apple iD?

    Does anybody have an idea as to why my recently updated Apple TV does not sync my podcasts from my Apple iD. It's supposed to, it's not doing it, and it's very annoying.
    This is only half the aggravation; the other half is that all my podcasts have been deleted automatically twice(no apparent reason other than perhaps a bug in iOS 7.0.2 / 11A501).
    This one I have managed to comeup with sort of a temporary fix while Apple fixes this: I made a copy/backup of the "Podcasts" folder inside the "iTunes Media" which in turn is in the "iTunes" folder Within the "Music" folder in my Mac. When my Podcasts are deleted, I just drag the backup "Podcasts" folder I created into the My Pocasts in iTunes.
    Apple please fix it.

  • Nokia E6 - Contacts not syncing with Mail for Exch...

    Hello - 1st post
    Hope I'm asking this in the right place and hope someone can help
    I've got a user with a Nokia E6 that's got Mail for Exchange configured on it. Mail and calendar are syncing OK but not the contacts
    The user is 150 miles away and I don't have an E6 that I can play with here. I'm trying to talk her through editing the mail for exchange profile (and not having much luck). I'm sure if the phone was in front of me I'd sort it in 2 mins
    I've talked the user through going to Menu > Mail > Settings > Mail for Exchange > What to sync. She's telling me there's no option in there to select contacts
    Would anyone be able to tell me the exact button presses I'd need to check if contacts are set to sync and how to edit the Mail for Exchange profile to set them so that they do sync please ?
    I've tried the manual and a menu map that I found online, but I can't seem to find it.
    Thanks

    Hello Driveblind,
    I am having the same problem with a user wich has a nokia e6, did you ever find / fix the problem?
