I have 3 Apple Laptops, an iPhone and an iPad.
Contact syncing works with 1 Laptop (MBP 2009) and all iOS devices.
Two Laptops (Retina MBP 2013, MacBook 2015 12-inch) cannot sync contacts (rest of iCloud syncs well). I have deactivated/reactivated syncing and even re-installed OS X on my MBP 2013 - without success.
All Laptops run the latest OS X version.
Any help much appreciated
MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
Hi Eric
Thanks for this post.
I went through this support doc many times in the past - it could not solve my problem.
As a matter of fact, I have iCloud contact syncing enabled, but in the Contacts-App, there is no "iCloud" and "local" area in the left hand pane. When I add a new contact or modify an existing contact either on my MB or in iCloud, syncing is ok (but still without "iCloud" and "local" area).
Any other ideas how to solve this problem?
You are welcome. System Preferences/Internet Accounts - is iCloud set up there with Contacts checked?
yes, it is
On the ones that aren't syncing, System Preferences/iCloud and turn off Contacts syncing. Wait a couple of minutes for the connection to break, then resync.
Hi Eric
I tried this a couple of times, but only new or modified contacts do sync. The rest - 800 contacts - do not sync at all.
Cannot sync iCloud contacts - it just doesn't work
