IOS – Link Contacts between Facebook and iCloud

contactsfacebookicloudiosmacos

I have iOS6 and OSX 10.8. Both bring Facebook integration. It was smart enough for some of my contacts to merge (or "link") them. However for some on my iPhone I manually edited the contact card and linked to the facebook account. Not so bad.

However, it seems that those manual changes were NOT replicated to my Macbook. For example, I have a "Nathaniel B****" in my iCloud but on Facebook he calls himself "Nat B****". On iOS I linked the 2 profiles, however on OSX they still appear as separate.

Am I supposed to do something? Or is this a flaw?

My suggestion would be to do ONE sync via iTunes and make sure your contacts are synced.

Once you do that, your icloud sync will be the same from one to the other.

OR

Backup your current Address book on your Mac. Then, export from iCloud.com and import into address book.

OR you can use a third party app. http://danauclair.com/addressbooksync/
