iCloud contacts do not sync on macOS Sierra

The contact.app on my mac does not download the new contacts that I have added to iClound via iPhone. I am sure the contacts are added successfully as I have checked on iCloud.com.

I have also check and unchecked "Enable this account" (iClould Account) in Contacts.app preference but it does not work. The Fetch setting is set to "Automatically" or "Every minute" but neither solves the problem.

Seems like you may have done everything I would've suggest.  If you wish, you could consider reaching out to Apple Support for further assistance.

If you've already toggled Contacts on/off under Settings > iCloud, another option would be to sign out of your iCloud account on the device and sign back in.

I have tried signing off and then signing back in the entire iCloud account but did not work.

Yep spent 3 hours with a senior advisor and solved it...

Ouch....3 hours? 

At least it's resolved now, thankfully.

If you would post how it was fixed, it might help someone else.

I have had a similar issue and this is how I solved it:

I logged in to iCloud.com, and under Settings > Advanced chose "Restore Contacts", and then restored the contacts from a backup that iCloud.com had automatically performed yesterday. Then, all my contacts appeared on my iMac. Do note that all contacts that have been added after the backup will be lost. (But iCloud.com seems to have made a backup of the current state before reverting, so it might be possible to then revert back to this state - but I have not tried it, since I had not done any important updates.

I do not know if you dare try, and if it will work for you, so perform the move on your own risk. But it worked for me, so I am happy!

(Btw, Advanced Settings are found on the bottom of the screen.)

Restoring contacts from iCloud worked for me. The process do a backup of existing contacts before restore, so you can go back.

Restoring from iCloud worked for me too.

It worked for me as well! Thank you

Hey guys!

I am very happy my solution worked for you, and your feedback is much appreciated! Cheers!

THank you so much. I was looking for this solutions for months!

a quick fix that worked for me:

1. close the contacts app
2. go to ~/Library/Application Support/
3. rename the AddressBook folder to something like AddressBook(old) just to be safe
4. open the contacts app
5. it will create a new AdressBook folder that syncs to icloud properly
6. if it's all dandy delete the renamed AddressBook folder

Thank you, so very much!

This was exactly what I needed!
