Can't Sync Contacts from iPhone X to MacBook Pro None of the new contacts I am adding on my iPhone X are transferring over iCloud to my MacBook Pro. I have made sure everything was turned on on both my MacBook and iPhone, checked the default account on my iPhone and it is on iCloud. I've also signed out of iCloud on my MacBook Pro and it still isn't syncing my new contacts from my iPhone X over to my MacBook Pro through iCloud. I even did a manual back-up via plugging my phone into my MacBook Pro and still nothing.

Transfer IPhone Contacts to my Macbook I am trying to sync my contacts from my iPhone to my Macbook. I have followed the steps on the Apple Support Page but no contacts transferred over after following the steps. I have updated both my iPhone and my MacBook to the latest IOS update. Also, I have tried to message people from my Macbook and my contacts receive my messages but through my Apple ID email address not my mobile number.. is there a way to change that? I look forward to hearing back from you, thank you. :)

Contacts from iPhone not syncing to iCloud or Mac The contacts on my iPhone will not sync to iCloud or my MacBook Air. I've checked that the sync to iCloud in my phone settings is turned on. When I log into iCloud it says everything is synced across all my devices, but it does not show all of my contacts, only a list from years ago. I'm nervous to restore anything from iCloud because I'm worried it will replace the contacts on my phone with the old list, when I want to do the opposite. I want to be able to use the Messages feature on my MacBook but it doesn't have my complete list of contacts so it's showing numbers that are saved in my phone as though they aren't contacts, just the phone numbers.
