Why is my iCloud not updating contacts?

I have a iPhone 5, iPad 3rd gen and a MacBook Pro. Recently, I've added three contacts on my iPhone and I have iCloud set up for contacts on it. But, the problem is, when I go onto my MacBook, the contacts aren't there on the contacts app - yet every other contact is? It's just happening with the new contacts.
I went onto iCloud on my Mac and went into contacts on there, and the contacts that I added on my iPhone doesn't seem to be there. However, I updated a picture of a contact on my Mac and the contact updated on my iPhone? Help!!

Open contacts on your phone and tap Groups. Do you have any contacts that belong to a non-iCoud account such as Gmail, Yahoo, an exchange account or On My iPhone?
Also go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section). Do you have the default account setting, and if so, what is set as your default account?

Why is my iCloud not working.

Why is my iCloud not working.when I try and update apps,it doesn't load.i recently got an iphone5 a few days ago,so I transferred everything from my old iPhone to my new one.please,someone help

Your question is a bit confusing. iCloud doesn't have anything to do with updating your apps. What is not working with your iCloud? What are you trying to do? What happens when you try? What error messages are you getting?
How are you attempting to update your apps? What happens when you try? What error messages are you getting?
Best of luck.

Why my ipad can not update the ios7.1.1

why my ipad can not update the ios 7.1.1

Hello there, crivera350.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for if you are unable to update your iOS device:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.
Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
Use iTunes to restore your device.
If you don't see your device in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

PC Suite: "Could not update contacts" - "Kunne ikk...

I got my new Nokia 6220 Classic yesterday and went immediately start to manage my contacts. I have pictures on about 70 to 202 contacts.
When I had to add a picture to a contact, PC Suite posted an error "Could not update contacts" Since my phone was set to via Bluetooth I tried with the USB cable without success. I rebooted phone and PC but it was the same.
I uninstall PC Suite and tried again but the USB cable and Bluetooth, without success. Today, I am at my job where I use the USB interface. Exact same error. I tried to update the firmware on the phone, but with the same, because there is not a newer version. But I get the same problem. The calendar works as it should, but messages do not work, here comes the message "The message could not be sent." - I can (From job, not at home) see the messages which have come, but can't answer or create new messages ..
Now I run a PC Suite Cleaner and reinstalled PC Suite. Same problem.
What should I try and what can be wrong?
I am happy using PC Suite and I use it very much! I want it to work .. )
Please.. ;o)

Hmm... I think I have solved this..
I started by taking a Backup this morning.
Now I finally desided to delete all and start over. I made another Back up, Restored the Back up from erliere. Then set contact memory to SIM and back to Phone...
And now it works?!?!?!!?
Only a few photoes to some contacts has to be redone, and som contacts appear more then once.. But My Suite works!
Suuiiittee!! (Sweeet!)
I really hope some one elles but me figures this out..

HT4759 Why is the iCloud not backing up?

Why is the iCloud not backing up?

Even though iCloud can hold your iOS devices backup file and can store some data it is more of a syncing service than a backup service. Care to elaborate a little more, what is not backing up?

Why is my playlist not updating as i type in the search window anymore?

why is my playlist not updating to reflect what i type on the search window anymore? just searches in the same window as you type i want it to reflect and show location on my plylist instead as it did before.

I have code within the FLA, but I am also using .as files (with classes and such). The code does not update when I try to use it, or will not run. Currently I am getting 4 errors, all of which were related to syntax and have been fixed. I know this because I hit the check mark button at the top of code field and it confirmed that all syntax is okay. I believe the error may be due to a lack of understanding on my part regarding the source path and document classes.
For example: I am using the code found here: http://www.learningactionscript3.com/download/45/ in the particle_system folder. My .as files and SWF are set up exactly the same as theirs, the example, but I can run theirs without error and mine with a perpetual 4 errors at runtime no matter how I fix it. I have made sure that the source path leads to the .as files being used ("Particle" and "ParticleDemo"), and confirmed that it should work by hitting the check mark next to the Document Class under Advanced ActionScript 3.0 Settings.
Edit: So in short, yes, I run the SWF and my code not update. If I close out of Flash and open it up again with the same SWF and .as files, then it works. However, this is an extremely inefficient thing to do. I am thinking that maybe downgrading down to CS5 may do the trick, but not sure if it's worth the time.

Keynote document saved in icloud not updating with data from Numbers? is icloud the problem

keynote document saved in icloud not updating with data from Numbers? is icloud the problem.
If both files are held locally on the computer it looks like there is no problem however if you try and do it though icloud (ie your docs are saved on icloud) you dont get the "source" oprion besides the graph etc. Is this a but or a broken function due to the new implementation of icloud.

Hi sebnor31,
This is Visual C# forum, but your question seems not related to Visual C# language itself. It most likely related to the bluetooth message transaction protocal or with the device itself.
I'll move your question to [where is this forum for...] forum where the morderator may direct you to the correct forum.
Thanks for your understanding.

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.

ITunes and iCloud not Updating

As of Yesterday afternoon my iCloud will not update my information. I called the apple help line were they took me though many steps that I had already done and finally said that the server must be down and to try to sign in to iCloud later. This is funn because he had mentioned earlier that the servers were fine. I also noticed that I can not update any of my apps on iTunes from my Macbook or iOS devices.
I am not sure were to go from here. The call didn't help and I know that my network is working fine. I haven't done anything differently then usual on my mac.
I always update everything and keep everything clean. I am running the latest updates for OSX and iOS.
Can someone help?

ICloud not updating with Outlook 2010

iCloud quit "talking" to outlook about the 2nd week of December. I was running Outlook 2010 and iOS 7 on my iPhone 5s and it was working flawlessly. Tried upgrading to iOS 8.1.2 and have just updated to iCloud for Windows 4.0.6.28 ... then signed off and back on. Calendar and contacts downloaded to Outlook but it is not "live" (new entries for calendar or contacts are NOT updated on the other platform). I'm hoping I'm missing something simple ... please help!!!

Why can. I not view contacts on webcam

Why can I not view contacts cam on messenger

.mp4 and .m4v are 'containers' and while they may well contain AppleTv compatible 'codecs' this is not necessarily the case.
Also even if a file plays in iTunes it will not necessarily play on AppleTV.
There is an app which will interrogate your files to give the codec info - the name escapes me currently - hopefully someone else will remember or I will!
On your AppleTV have you checked that these files are not appearing under the Home Videos category.
You could also potentially download the Handbrake transcoder and run the files through it using an AppleTV preset.

ICloud not syncing Contacts or Calendar to iPhone 4S.

On Saturday, I noticed my Contacts were blank on my 4S...the screen had the blue gray bar at the top with the "+" in the upper right and then where the contacts should be was white. My calendar looked correct; however, my appointments were gone. I verified my information on icloud.com and everything was backed up. I contacted Tech Support and after three hours with a level 2 senior rep, I was directed to get a new phone from the Apple store.
It turns out that it wasn't my phone afterall...it's actually iCloud not pushing my contacts or calendar to my 4S. The Genius bar, after over an hour, had to turn off iCloud on my 4S and my MacBook Air which is now causing me to sync with iTunes via a cable. Has anyone else seen this issue? Any fix?

Alright. So...this worked for me too. Finally...and no hlep from the apple store OR apple care! Got a new phone from apple store...FAIL...no call back from Sr. Tech...FAIL.
So...I did the following:
On the phone first:
1) Switch to airplane mode
2) Reboot phone by holding top key and front button until apple logo appears (not red slider to turn off phone)
3) Settings - iCloud - Turn contacts OFF - Delete From Phone (make sure you get a check mark after completion)
Then on the Mac:
4) Open address book on mac
5) Command + A to select all contacts in address book...double tap trackpad and export as V card
6) Command + A to select all contacts in address book...goto Edit...drop down menu and choose delete cards
7) Verify all are deleted on iCloud because the address book is synced to my iCloud account
8) Drag and drop vcard backup back into all contacts in address book or choose import from File menu in address book
9) Verify all contacts were back on iCloud by visiting iCloud on my computer's browser
Back to the phone:
10) Turn Airplane mode off...make sure I connected to my WiFi network
11) Settings - iCloud - Turn contacts ON
Voila! Got 483 of my 488 contacts...good enough for me...only had 99 to 149 for the past month!!!!
OH - This also fixed my calendar issue...all my appointments are back!
Hope this helps somebody!

Any thoughts as to why iWeb software is not updated any more

hello all,
I'm wondering why apple is not updating iWeb software any more. Does anyone think they will continue to support it? Doesn't make sense to me that they have abandoned it. With as much as we all use the web, you would think that Apple would want to have the best software out there for us to use with our iMacs,iPhones, and iPads. I can imagine iWeb software out there that would take our web sites built with state of the art web software that would format the sites we build to work and look the best on all the devices apple makes. Seems to me they are making a big mistake. what are your thoughts about why the have pretty much abandoned iWeb. I don't have a clue. Also seems like they are throwing a lot of people under the buss.
thanks for your opinions
donald

It is now is apparent that iWeb, and iDVD, will no longer be supported by Apple since new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD. iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features Unavailable When Publishing to a Non-Mac Server:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ RSS Feed Widget
All of these issues can be replaced with 3rd party optionsl There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and myself have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.

Why is my podcast not updating correctly?

My podcast, the jaguar tapes: https://itunes.apple.com/nl/podcast/the-jaguar-tapes/id557617194?l=en&mt=2
It's not updating anymore! The new artwork isn't showing up. Also the new episode isn't in there on the correct date.
Can someone please help me out?
cheers Thom

Your feed is at http://www.mothermusic.nl/podcast/JaguarPodcast.xml
It has 13 episodes, all of which show in the iTunes Store. However episode 13 has no date and so appears out of order; the only possible reason I can see for this is that in your 'pubDate' tag you have a comma after 2014, which is strictly not correct.
The media file URL for this episode is
http://www.mothermusic.nl/podcast/Jaguar13.mp3
and there is no file at this address.
The Podcast Image appears correctly on the Store page, and the media file for episode 12 has an embedded image. There is of course no image for episode 13 when subscribing because there is no file there.
If you have a question about your own podcast (as opposed to playing other people's) it's best to ask in the Producing Podcasts forum.

Just upgraded and now can not update contacts

I upgraded to the new iPhone software last night and now can not edit contacts. Help!

Hi icsailor,
This sounds like a known issue reported here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014
There was a workaround posted, but I've not tested it myself. Here are the steps.
# Go into Yahoo Messenger Options - Change the Window in the dropdown to Tab and press OK.
# Then go back and switch it to small window and press OK.
Once the bug is officially resolved, you could try running a Nightly or Aurora build to use the fix early.
Hopefully this helps!
