Sync iPhone 5 contacts to iCloud and/or MacBook Pro

I've been trying to sync my iPhone 5 contacts with iCloud, but nothing works. I have manually backed up my phone both to iCloud and to my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.2) but my contacts still haven't appeared in the cloud. Help is appreciated!

iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.3

It's probably because your contacts do not belong to the iCloud account.


Open the contacts app on your phone and tap Groups. Do you have any non-iCloud accounts listed, such as On My iPhone, Gmail, Yahoo or an exchange account?


Also go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section). Do you have the Default Account setting there, and if so, what is selected as your default account?
