iCloud iCloud syncing issues with contacts

[jwolf6589]

I added a bunch of contacts the other day and when I text a number the name is only showing up on my iPhone and Apple Watch but not my Mac and iPad. Please advise.

Have you gone into iCloud settings on both devices and checked that contacts are turned on?

I will double check when I get off work but I believe they are on.

Contact sync is turned on on both mac and iPad but contacts are not being synced.

In the contacts app tap on groups and see if anything is hidden.

In Settings > Contacts > Accounts

See what is turned on. You may be saving contacts to an email account instead of iCloud.

On the iPhone contacts is turned on for both my gmail and iCloud accounts. But there is no option to turn on contacts for my gmail account on the iPad and I am not sure where to go on the Mac.

Got the Mac fixed so now my contacts are syncing. Its just the iPad that is the problem because I cant turn on contacts sync for Gmail as there is no icon there. Strange..

Have a look here this may help:

You can sync your Google Contacts to a phone, tablet, and computer. When you change a contact, that contact will chan

Once everything is working, I would consider turning of iCloud contacts on all devices as you are using gmail

SSL is on on the iPad. Do you think I should delete the account on the ipad and re-add it? Or will this mess things up?

Probably the best option if you can’t work out what settings playing up.

Will it mess up anything up if I delete and re-add?
