my contacts from macos sonoma do not sync to icloud

I’m experiencing the same issue with contacts on my Mac. I spent 1 hour on the phone this evening with a level 2 text support person at Apple and her solution was to have me take my Mac back to the factory default and reinstall everything including the operating system ! The call then got dropped and she never even returned my call. Not the kind of service that I would expect from Apple. I hope that Apple is reading comments on this forum.

Huge problem. No answers.

Agreed. Total BS. It's a bug.

I was hoping that the update to Sonoma 14.3 would fix the problem. It hasn't. Do the Mac IOS geeks read these posts? If so - please fix it. I'm unable to access my contacts on my iPhone - and its way too much work to manually transfer them from my Mac.If they don't read these posts, is there some way this issue could be communicated to them with a request to fix the bug?

I am having a nightmare with it. Contacts created on my laptop will not show up on my iPhone or in the cloud. Same if I create the contact on my phone, it will not show up elsewhere. Yes, I am signed into iCLOUD, yes it's the correct account and yes I have Internet signal.

However, if I create the contact in iCLOUD itself (Logging on through safari) it works on all devices.

Laptop is Sonomo 14.0, iPhone is 14 pro max with iOS 17.1.2

Same for me: I’ve just spent hours updating contacts on my MacBook Pro (Sonoma 14.2.1), wiped contacts on my iPhone, plugged it in directly to the MacBook, Hit ‘Replace Contacts’ then ’Sync’. Process gets to Step 2 and stops. Now I have zero Contacts on my iPhone.

Have you been able to find a fix yet? I've just discovered the same problem.

Thanks for the swift response. Hard to believe that Apple isn't aware of this.
