I get new contacts regularly with my job, I enter them on my iphone and then when i go to text them from my macbook they all come up as just numbers. the contacts are not syncing between the two. After searching in here i saw they asked to go to iclould.com to se if the new contacts were there. they are not. I also checked the setting in my phone and the contacts are set to sync.
Please help!
MacBook Pro 16″
