Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Is it possible for all contacts to appear on all 3 of my Apple devices regardless of on which device they are entered? I have an iPhone 5, iPad 2 and MacBook Pro; I'd like to see the same contacts on all. All three devices already back up to iCloud. Thanks!
iPad, MacBook Pro, iPhone 5-OTHER, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
On the iPhone and iPad, Settings > iCloud > Contacts on.
On the Mac, Apple Menu > System Preferences > iCloud > Contacts on.
They already all have iCloud>Contacts on. Anything else I can try? Have I misunderstood the purpose of iCloud? I thought that if I amended a contact in my iPhone, it'd update the contacts in the other two devices. I lost one contact over the weekend. For the second time.
No you haven't misunderstood if you have those settings on. The contacts on your phone should automatically sync to the other devices. They should also be viewable/editable at https://www.icloud.com
The following link to an Apple Support troubleshooting document may have something that will help: Get help using iCloud Contacts - Apple Support
How can I have contacts on iPhone show up on iPad and MacBook Pro? All are backed up to iCloud.
