iCloud & Mac Contacts Don't Match

My iCloud account "All iCloud" shows 399 Contacts and the Contacts file shows 89. Contacts are set to be saved in iCloud but they don't show up there. Both items are using the same Apple ID. I have the same issue on the iPhone as well as the iPad

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.3

Contacts All of my contacts that I had before are now deleted and the only contacts I have left are the ones with Iclouds. I don’t know what to do or how to fix it and when I try and add one that is a gmail account link with the phone, it deletes it. Please help.

Missing contacts on iCloud.com and MacBook Pro after iOS 16, Ventura update I recently noticed that after updating my MacBook Pro 14" to macOS Ventura 13.0 it started showing phone numbers and mail addresses in Messages instead of the contact name. I noticed these contacts are no longer in my contacts app. On my iPhone 14 Pro and iPad Pro everything's fine. Heading over to iCloud.com and looking into the contacts there, I noticed these contacts are also missing there as well. I already tried signing out and in again of my iCloud account on my macbook. Stopped syncing contacts on my mac and after restart re-enabled it. But I guess since the contacts are also missing on icloud.com it just doesn't get all these contacts when synching. Yesterday I have updated to iOS 16.1.1 and Ventura 13.0.1 but unfortunately this did not help as well (even after restart, stopping contacts sync, etc.). I have exported my contacts on my iPhone just to be safe. Any ideas what I could try?

Contacts won't sync Mac book pro or iPad I recently got a new iPad (6 months ago) and new Mac book Pro (2 months ago). when I signed in to both new devices I used my iCloud back up. While some of my contacts synced not all did. Mostly it was my older contacts (3years+) and my most used contacts. I have tried re-syncing my data from both sides but nothing is working. help😢

Are you signed into the same email account on all devices?

I use Gmail on all devices. Should not all of the contacts showing in "All iCloud" also be the same in the Address book?
