The Missing Sync and iCloud

Since Apple started iCloud I could not sync contacts between my Mac and my Android phone. MarkSpace: disable iCloud (...)
I use now the free CardDAV-sync; works fine!
Don't buy The Missing Sync.

You actually can sync contacts between the device and computer even after you've synced with iCloud. You will need to go to System Preferences and then in the iCloud preference uncheck the option to sync contacts with iCloud. Tell it to keep your contacts and this will move your contacts back from the iCloud to be local again on your computer. That local data will sync with Apple's Sync Services again so it will be able to be synced with the Android device.

After syncing with the device you can re-enable iCloud again for Contacts to sync those back with iCloud again.
