Missing Contacts on MacBook Air

Greetings jcdbasho2,

Ensuring your contacts are syncing to your Mac from your other devices is important and you've come to a great place for help. To confirm, have you verified the contacts are synced to iCloud via the iCloud website? If the missing contacts appear via the iCloud website, you'll want to begin with the steps listed below as they're a great starting point for solving sync related issues with iCloud Contacts. If you continue to have issues after those steps, you'll want to complete the remaining steps outlined in the following article.

1. "Check the system status of iCloud Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders for services outages or connection issues.
2. If a reminder isn't showing up on some of your devices, make sure that your iPhone and iPad have the latest version of iOS or iPadOS, or that your Mac has the latest version of macOS.
3. Make sure that you're signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID on all of your devices. Then, check that you turned on Contacts, Calendars, and Reminders in your iCloud settings.
4. Check that the date and time settings on your device are correct for your current location."

If your iCloud Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders won’t sync

If the contacts are not synced to iCloud, it's possible the contacts may be synced to a different email account. You can locate these contacts by signing in to the email providers websites, and see if the missing contacts appear there. If you're able to locate the missing contacts, you can find the steps for syncing contacts from third-party email accounts outlined in the article below. This will allow those contacts to appear on your Mac just as they do your iOS and iPadOS devices.

Add contacts from iCloud, Google, and more to Contacts on Mac

Have a great day!

Thanks for getting back to us jcdbasho2, it’s appreciated.

Since it seems the Contacts from your iPhone and iPad aren’t showing in iCloud either, they may have been added to your email account(s) instead: Use other contact accounts on iPhone - Apple Support

If you have, you can add that/those email account(s) to your Mac and sync your Contacts with the account(s): Add contacts from iCloud, Google, and more to Contacts on Mac - Apple Support

Import or export a vCard in Contacts on iCloud.com - Apple Support -- If you’d rather have your Contacts stored in iCloud instead, you’ll need to import a vCard for each contact included in your email account(s).

All the best.
