Hi Stephen, On your iMac in a Contacts > Preferences - Accounts - you should have iCloud 'enable this account' should be ticked.... NOT On My Mac. And make sure the Contacts you are adding are added to your iCloud Group and not to 'On My Mac'. Non iCloud contacts will not sync.
It's the same with Calendar only Contacts & Calendars in 'iCloud Groups' will sync. Open Contacts Choose Contacts > Preferences Click Accounts. Make sure that your iCloud account has the correct name in the Apple ID field. Turn iCloud Contacts off and back on Quit Contacts Choose Apple () > System Preferences and click iCloud. Deselect Contacts. Click Keep Contacts. Close System Preferences and wait about a minute. Open System Preferences and choose iCloud. Select Contacts. Open Contacts Restart your computer Restart your computer and check the issue.
