Welcome to the Apple Community.


  1. 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).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Hey I was able to complete the task.



For anybody this happens to:


you need to have your contacts in the group "icloud".


I just transfered all my contacts into a VCF file and emailed them to myself.


I then ensured that the default group my contacts go into is icloud in settings > Mail, Contacts, Calenders.


From then import the VCF.


You will now have some duplicated, if you just use an app to either delete or in my case just merge them together.


Everything should be perfect .


Thanks
