I have ICloud set up on all of my iOS devices, all of which are running iOS 10. All of them have contact syncing enabled. Further, I have contact syncing enabled on all of my macs. All of them are on the exact same wifi network, and all of them are signed into the exact same ICloud account. On my mac, when I open the contacts app, I then hit command+N to add a new contact. In Sierra, at least, I'm told that the currwent card is in "All ICloud," which makes complete sense. On a sidenote entirely, did Voiceover used to say that in El Capitan? I don't remember it doing so. Anyway, getting back to the problem, I get the tontact's info filled out, stop interacting with the scroll area, hit VO+Space on the Add button, which then turns to an Edit button. I then quit Contacts with Command+Q. Now, If I go over to my iPad, or my iPhone, or one of my other macs, and I look in contacts, I don't see the contact showing up. I wondered if somehow I was putting the contacts only locally on the mac, not in ICloud, but that isn't the case. Looking on the mac side, it appears that the contact is indeed going into All ICloud. So, what in the blessid world is going on here! I really don't get this. Before anyone says, and, you're absolutely sure you're signed in and syncing contacts on all devices... yes. I am. Trust me. I looked. Where did you look. Well, on iOS, I went settings>ICloud. Under there, I see Contacts: On. and it shows my Apple ID on that screen correctly. Have I rebooted the devices? Yes, I have. Many times. How about the mac? Yes. Again, many times. On the mac, I'm going to system prefs, ICloud, then am looking in the services table, and contacts is definitely checked. Yes, I tried on all devices turning contacts off and back on to refresh. Upon turning contacts back on, I was asked what to do with existing contacts, and I said merge. I'm confident that the contacts are not showing up on iOS, as Siri can't find them, and when I look manually in the Contacts app, I move the table index to the correct letter, then flick down through the contact list, and they are not showing up. I even not only turned contacts off and back on to refresh things, I even signed completely out of ICloud, and then back in on all devices. No good. So yeah... What on earth!
