Why don't ALL contact details sync

I've synched regularly with iTunes between Outlook (2010) and my iPhone 4s for years, but I've started to notice that all my contact details don't synch, in particular the "notes" that I like to keep on the contact record card. The notes are always there, but they don't sync, so the note on a certain contact that I wrote during the work day never appears in my desktop Outlook, though any other more basic fields that have been updated do sync... Any ideas?

got it... different address books: iPhone and iTunes "think" contacts in English and the rest of us (Outlook and I) are thinking "Contatti" and they are two different folders... now to work it all out

HT4436 Why don't all my contacts and calendar events on my iMac (version 10.7.4) stream onto iCloud? For instance, there are 470 entries in my address book but only 270 on iCloud. And not all my appointments in iCal are transferred.

I have the same problem transfering Address book on iMac to contacts on iPhone (old version 3G - on iCloud). this is a hard wired connection

Might you have 200 entries in On My Mac groups and some of your appointments in On My Mac calendars?

one fine day yesterday, my i phone just hangup lost all contact detail. The screen only show a picture depicting cable connection to iTune. I have tried to restore iphone to factory setting but not working . May i know how to proceed to recover lost contacts.

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

Lost all contacts with sync?

lost all contacts with sync?

Same grief here - I've found this kind of problem goes back at least 4 years!
My 'old' iPod Touch lost my stored photos and Contact list when I had to reset it.
No problem, just Sync with iTunes.... now my photos and Contacts refuse to transfer from MacBook to Touch in any way I select iTunes Sync!!!
The pictures I'm not too worried about but I refuse to tap in 115 sets of Contact details.
And I'm still to find a straight forward sctual solution...

Why don't all iTunes movies have subtitles?

How can you tell if an iTunes download has subtitles?
Why don't all the downloads have subtitles?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's not Apple's decision, they get the movies the way the studios prepare them.

Why don't all the mailboxes illuminate when I'm trying to move/ save an email

Why don't ALL mailboxes highlight when I'm trying to save something

You can either leave it in the Inbox or move it to one of the non-greyed out folders. If you havn't got any non-greyed out ones then if your email account is an IMAP one then you should be able to login to your account on a browser and create new folders there, and they should then appears in the Mail app. If it's a POP type account then unfortunately you're stuck with what you've got.
You can also, for example, copy-and-paste it into another app e.g. if it's plain text you could copy-and-paste it into Notes

Why don't my contacts sync from iCloud?

I have moved my mobile me account to iCloud. Backed up my iPhone, backed up my iPad but my contacts folder is still empty. What do I do to make it sync? I thought it was all meant to happen automatically!

I have been STRESSED about my contacts. Not only were my contacts not syncing, my computers were freezing because of 'AddressBookSourceSync.' iCloud at this moment can't support Groups, if you have groups in your address book that you have created, back up your address book on your Mac and save it on your hard drive until Apple sends out a fix.
On your Mac(s) go to Systems Preferences under Mail stop syncing your iCloud address book. Delete your complete iCloud account from iPhone, iPod Touch and/or iPad and DO NOT KEEP THE CONTACTS ON YOUR DEVICES!. Delete your groups individually on http://iCloud.com. **delete your groups, not your address book** Once you have no groups, and 'All Contacts' is the only category you see on iCloud's website, delete your entire address book on your Mac(s) -- you should have NO ADDRESSES IN YOUR APPLE ADDRESS BOOK! Go back to System Preferences and allow iCloud to sync again. When it syncs in your Apple Address Book 'iCloud Addresses' with NO GROUPS listed.
!!BACKUP YOUR DEVICES!!
On your devices, make sure you have no addresses, if you don't re-add your iCloud account and you are ready to go. Add a "test" contact and it should sync. If you can't remove the addresses from your phone, iPad or iPod, reset the phone and DON'T RESTORE FROM A BACKUP, start your phone from scratch and re-add iCloud.
When Apple fixes this problem, you can easily restore from the backup you did earlier. This does not remedy the battery drain problem on iPhone 4S, but my Macs no longer freeze and my address books are syncing perfectly.

Why don't my contacts on iPhone syncing to computer. Help!

How can I set up my devices so that when I connect to iTunes with my phone (either through USB or wireless connect) that the contacts will sync both ways. I need my contacts to get from my phone to my computer "address book". At this time it only works one way. I do not use iCloud (too old a computer).

I have the same problem. I have Itunes Match, I have the same accounts on Iphone and Mac, but purchases of songs on iPhone are not transfering to itunes.
I already tried "File > Transfer purchases from iPhone" but didn't work either. I also updated iTunes Match, but no results yet.

Backup all contact details from 6300

In my contact details I have saved addresses, email addresses etc which I need to import to my new phone. I've tried OVI but it only seems to input the phone number and alternative phone number, not the other details saved under each contact.
I don't want to have to type in all these addresses again - can anybody advise of a solution?

Hi riteoh
You would need to synchronise with Outlook and although this post refers to PC Suite the principal is the same:/t5/PC-and-Mac-Software/Nokia-6300-Syncs-with-vista-and-outlook-2007/m-p/193163/highlight/true#M2109...

IPhone 4 - iOS 5 upgrade - LOST ALL CONTACT DETAILS

I upgraded to iOS 5 and now I can't get to any of my contact details.
What I have -
The list of my contacts is displayed under the contacts option, but when I touch any contact name it takes me back to the home screen. Can't make any phone calls. But I can receive phone calls and the caller-id displays the correct name too. So my guess is the information is there somewhere, I just can't seem to find it or use it.
What I have tried so far -
1) Resynced contacts from the Info tab in iTunes. I get the following error msg - "iTunes couldnot sync contacts to the "iPhone" because contacts are being synced over-the-air
2) turned off sync over wi-fi from iTUnes. Tried syncing again. Same error message as above.
3) Tried going to "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" under settings, it takes me back to home screen. It displays the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" details screen for about half a second and takes me back to home screen.
4) Went to iCloud under settings and tried to turn off teh "Contacts" from there. It simplays doesn't turn off. I can turn off everything else listed under there, but contacts. No matter what I do, it stays on.
5) Signed into iCloud.com with my account. The contacts info there has only one contact listed (mine).
6) Tried to edit contact details from one of my recent text messages. Doesn't work. Takes me backto home screen.
Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix this. At this point I can't even use the main function a phone should be performing, i.e. make calls from my stored contacts.

I had the same problem. Time Machine proved invaluable here. I opened up Address Book, selected "All Contacts", started up TIme Machine via Spotlight, and scrolled back to the day before I ran the 4.2.1 updater. Bada bing, all contacts restored to the address book! Simply did an iPhone sync after that and all was well again.
Still, nasty bug Apple. :-|

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!!!

I try a test in the evening: I push the button "Select Folder" and have run my PC over the Night. On the next morning the Window was appear.
Also was is my problem the Public Folder Structure that the PC-Suite scans after i push the button "select Folder"

Really need help here!-Why won't all selected Photos sync to my iPod Touch?

This is really a concern to me: I can only get about 9 months of my iPhotos to sync onto my iPod Touch - but with OS 2.x I could get all the photos-- used essentially all my free space.
I just upgraded my first generation iPod Touch (Dec 2007) to 3.1.2 - OK WiFi and apps updates working fine- but as to syncing photos: I have 15,688 photos & videos from my cameras in my iPhoto library.
I don't expect to have all the photos synced, but when I check last 12 months, only about 9 months is synced - 5899 photos and there is 4.9 gb of free space on my iPod Touch. With OS 2.x I could get more photos and it would go down to just a few mb of free space if I wished.
What is going on here? Why so much free space and yet no more photos syncing? I tried to click ALL EVENTS and that simply erased all my 5899 photos and there were NO PHOTOS. So now I went back and requested last 12 months of events (about 138 separate events from end 2008 until present) - and again, exactly 5899 photos yet still some 33% of my iPod capacity is UNused?
This is really a concern to me-- if a corrupted photo or event, then why did it work just last week when I was in iPod Touch OS 2.x?
Thanks for any suggestions here. I'm trying manual syncs and other stuff - so far no luck.
Best regards,

First a really big THANKS - I was not aware that this iPod Photo cache folder existed and it had grow to over 15 gb in size! (Now it is 3.85 gb in size).
BUT BUT-- problem not solved... Although I trashed that file and then re-synced my iPod Touch, it is still only going back to July 2009 with the events - not 12 months as I request; and none of the events that I checked prior to the previous 12 months are not on my iPod Touch, first generation running system 3.1.3 (7E18). I STILL HAVE 3.0 gb of available space on my iPod. Again, I never had this problem when 2.x was the OS for my iPod Touch.
The number of events seems to be exactly 51 - is that perhaps a limit? I don't think it would be but when I look inside the iPod Photo cache folder, there are 51 folders (plus 2 other items) and the folders are numbered from F00 to F50.
I would like to get to the bottom of this - not sure if I should start a new post or ??? Thanks again and any ideas or tests to run really appreciated!
Best regards,

Not all contacts have synced? Is there still some bugs to be worked out? How can I cause iCloud to re-sync my contacts?

My sisters information in particular is showing up on none of my devices. Is there some way to make sure that it resyncs with my contacts??

For this situation, you can only try the iPhone contacts recovery software to have a try.
This post on the blog you can refer to get your contacts back.
http://easy-iphone-recovery.blogspot.com/2013/11/recover-lost-contacts-after-upg rade-to.html
Please follow the way 1 to get your lost contacts.
Way 1: Directly Recover lost contacts from iPhone
1. Run iPhone Data Recovery for iOS.
2. Connect your device (eg. iPhone 5). Choose“Recover from iOS Device”.
3. Start to scan your device(eg. iPhone 5) for lost data on it. Please click “Start Scan” to begin scanning it.
4. After the scan, you can preview all data found on your device(eg. iPhone 5) in the scan result. Click the categories on the left side of the window like camera roll, contacts, messages, etc. You can preview all the details of them (except for videos). Mark what you want and click “Recover” to save them on your computer with one click.
Good luck.
