My Ipod (4th gen) has about 580 contacts on it. I'm trying to synch my contacts across all my devices via Icloud. But my MacBook Pro has only 109 contacts on it, and my Ipad has 141...even though Icloud is turned on, on all my devices, and I've rebooted them all. Can someone help me figure out how to get all my contacts onto the cloud?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
Thanks for your help! Turning off the Icloud contacts then turning them back on again did the trick.
Thanks for this answer, it solved my problem too. Particularly helpful was switching off the iCloud contacts, and then back on. Cheers
