iPhone contacts messed up
Why is it that my iPhone has more contacts? Obviously contacts that I've entered directly into the iPhone are not getting synced with my Address Book on my mac or the Address Book in the cloudy MobileMe. I have had an entry in my Contacts called Test Entry that has never made it out of the iPhone. I also just today created a Test Entry2 in my Address Book on my Mac and that contact now appears in Mobile Me, but it does not appear on my iPhone.
How do I fix this? I am concerned about losing the contacts I made directly on the iPhone. And I'm concerned about losing edits I made to the existing records. The only thing I can think of doing is to go one by one thru my iPhone Contacts and compare them to my Mac Address Book and then somehow resync all of my contacts to the iPhone. That's gonna take me forever and it's a bit annoying.
Does anyone know why this is happening? I remember seeing Steve Jobs demonstrate how the contacts will automatically update with MobileMe but this doesn't seem to be happening for me. Why? Any ideas? Isn't it supposed to stay in sync automatically so that my iPhone, my Mac Address Book and my MobileMe Address Book all have the same set of contacts. And shouldn't I be able to edit my contacts (or add new ones) from one of these three sources with everything staying in sync, automatically?
