I'm so confused!!! I have Address Book on my MacBook, Contacts on my iPhone, Contacts on my Yahoo Mail account (which I access over the web, not Mail), and Contacts in iCloud, but I can't get them all to sync with each other! To try to get to the bottom of it all, I manually entered a unique contact name, etc. into each of the 4 app's/devices, and waited about half an hour. Results:

Address Book on MacBook: Had the contact names that I had entered from the Address Book and from the iPhone.

iPhone Contacts: Had the contact names that I had entered from the iPhone and from Yahoo.

Yahoo Mail: Same, i.e. had the contact names that I had entered from the iPhone and from Yahoo.

iCloud: Only had the contact name that I had entered via iCloud.

I would like to start using Mail on my MacBook, which uses Address Book, but I need to have Address Book sync with both my iPhone and my Yahoo Contacts. I thought they all sync'ed thru iCloud! What am I missing?
