How to get my contacts from my iPhone and ipad to update my iMac

Hello

As far as I can tell, I have my contacts updated in place to sync between my iPhone and iMac.  I have 193 contacts on my iPhone and iPad.

On the iPhone and the iPad, they show that the

All the iCloud

two groups I created, family and a working group, the two appear under that.

on my iMac, I see 36 contacts and a mismash of groups which are old.

Thus, it seems that my contacts are not synchronized to the iMac.  In iCloud on my iMac, I have verified contacts.

I don't know what else to do.  Any suggestions?

Michelle

Hello BellaMichelle,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how important it is to have your contacts consistently on all of your devices, especially if you need stay in touch throughout the day. I will do all I can to help. Looks like you have configured correctly the things, but synchronization may have just gotten hung up.

One of the easiest ways we can try to kick start things must simply sign your Mac off iCloud and then again to make a new connection. After a few minutes, the contacts should begin to update. To do this, you can open your system preferences, click the iCloud and click Disconnect. Your Mac will give you the option to keep or remove certain information. Whenever the option is available, do not forget to click on "continue on my Mac.

Once you have disconnected, go ahead and reboot then reconnect and give contacts for a few minutes to download and update.

If they are not always appear, while he would have to do is go to iCloud on a computer using this link: iCloud.  When you are there, click on Contacts and see if they all appear correctly there.

The entire community is here to help.

-Best regards-

None of them are appearing

    Tones are a unique download only, they will not appear in purchased for redownloading. If you have them in the section of tones from your computer's iTunes library, you can synchronize the phone from there, if they are only on your backup of your library of downloads / you can add to your computer via file iTunes library > add to library so that you can synchronize. Or if you still have your old appliances with them to connect to iTunes on your computer and file > devices > transfer purchases and you can then synchronize with your new phone.

    Open the contacts window by clicking the address book at the foot of the folders pane. On the file menu, click export , and then select comma separated (CSV) values. If you don't see the menu bar, press ALT.

    Note that the last statement on the help page (Export contacts) is wrong: by dragging the window contacts contacts on the desktop doesn't create any kind of file. In version 12 and 15, this produces a vCard (.vcf) file for each contact, but not in the version 14 (WLMail) 2009.

    Hi all

    I just moved to a new PC (ex: Sony Vaio with win 7 pro, outlook 10 pro > new: duo of vaio from sony with win 8, Outlook 13 home office 365). I used to sync outlook contacts and calendars with blackberry and iphone and ipad on my old laptop using the BlackBerry Desktop Manager.

    Now with my new PC, iphone and ipad are always works well and they synchronize with outlook: new entries on the outlook calendar and new contacts are added to my laptop and vice versa, but when I connect my Blackberry "BOLD" I n get the updates.

    I confirm that I use the latest version of the desktop manager 7.0.

    My organizing Office Manager is configured to sync both calendar and contacts

    Any idea please?

    Thanks in advance for your help
