I have just got 4S. I have set-up icloud and can locate my phone, but none of my contacts are being synced to icloud. I have gone through and cannot seem to get it to work.
Cannot update personal info (contacts, calendar, reminders) without being forced toive up all my private data to Apple via the iCloud. This really ***** and I'm sure probably illegal somewhere. Sometimes feel like just trashing my iphone and getting an Android. I am not the only one with this issue. Apple refuse to help saying I have to give up all private information to them by putting it on their servers (iCloud).
Ive backed my Contacts up on my 4S to iCloud and i restored my iPad but my contacts never restored? Is there any other app i can use? I cant back them up to my sim card as i have just over 1,700 contacts
I purchased a new iPhone 3GS and started using it. I set up iCloud backup, and chose to save all my contacts etc to iCloud.The device was defective, so I had to exchange it. When setting up the new device, it doesn't seem to see the backup I made. It makes me setup a new device. After I setup the new device when I go to iCloud settings, I can see the backup I made earlier, but there is no way to restore it. What should I do? There is no apple store in my country.When I erase the phone and try to set it up it doesn't "see" the backup, and makes me setup a new phone.After setting up the phone it can see the backup (In iCloud settings I can see it), but there is no restore option.When I log into [URL], I can see all the contacts, so it has indeed been backed up. I just don't know how to get it on the phone.
My contacts don't sync on icloud on my iphone some contacts disapear on iphone and some contacts hae been merged together to make one contact when they are not related.
I only have an iphone.(No other devices). If i back up to the icloud will this save my contacts in the icloud? Will I be able to restore them from the icloud?
If I create a new contact on my iphone and I am not connected to either wi-fi or the network, the new contact doesn't appear on the icloud sync, even after I then am near a wi-fi connection. (I tend to keep my network connectivity off because I have a very small data plan)
I have tried a manual backup from the iphone at the time I do get to my wi-fi. That still doesn't recognize the new contacts.
If I then edit the contact, maybe change one letter or number, it is then synced up.
PS: The phone contacts says 380 contacts. Sorry I can't capture that screen to upload it here.
I feel like this should be a very simple task. I simply want all of my contacts (i.e. yahoo, google) to be merged and saved into iCloud. How can I do this?
i was trying to create a new i cloud account because my other one wasnt working good. As i deleted the current account it deleted ALL of my contacts ! way to restore theese contacts! i dont have them syncd im my mac or anything
My icloud contacts started to get duplicate by itself, but the duplication of contacts were not seen on the icloud website as well as on my laptop. The main problem started when I deleted the duplicate contacts from my iphone icloud contacts list, contacts which I deleted were also deleted from my laptop & icloud website. Now I cannot see the deleted contacts on my iphone, laptop & icloud website. Is there any way I can restore the deleted contacts from my icloud backup & also would like to know why this problem started all of a sudden.
I reset my iPhone 4s. I had backed it up to the computer, a Mac Book Pro. iCloud back up was on on the phone. Only a few of my phone contacts saved to the cloud. I didn't realize this until after the phone was reset. Apple said that they probably didn't all save because there wasn't enough icloud space. The genius bar has tried to help and tech support has also. No luck. One apple genius bar person said that they were gmail contacts and get them from gmail. I I can't find anything but my email addresses on my gmail account.
I just created a new contact on my phone yesterday (iOS 7.1.1 / iPhone 5s). But it's not showing up in iCloud when I log into iCloud.com or when I look in the Contacts.app on my Mavericks iMac or in Contacts on my iPad.Â
I seem to have about 30 contacts in the contacts group "On My Phone" that only exist on my phone and not on iCloud. (I assumed all contacts I create on my iPhone are synced to iCloud??)Â
Why are these "stuck" on my iPhone? How do I move them to iCloud?
My iPhone 4S randomly lost all of my contacts. But about a day or two ago in the evening I noticed they were gone.Â
However, they are all still safe and sound in my iCloud account when I access it online from my Mac. How do I get them back onto my phone from my iCloud account?
I'm switching to a different phone so I'm wondering how I save my iCloud contacts to a SIM Card ? I was going to save all my contacts to a micro SIM then go to my phone carrier and get them flashed to a regular SIM and get a new phone .
I have iPhone of the first generation and have recently bought a new 4S. How can I back up my old iPhone contacts to my PC and then transfer them to my new iPhone?
I obviously cannot use the iCloud with the old iPhone. I also do not want to sync the iPhone with iTunes in order to transfer the contacts to the PC since I am on a new laptop and the music on the iPhone will get deleted during sync with my new empty iTunes library. I am getting a similar message each time I want to transfer the contacts over to my computer via iTunes sync:
In Outlook 2010 I have: 1. Contacts from MS Exchange, 2. Suggested Contacts, 3. Conctats (iCloud Archive) and in another category I have Cloud Contacts.
I need to sync both iCloud ans MS Exchange contacts on my iPhone and keep them as different groups in outlook 2010.
I recently got a replacement iphone and backed up all my contacts on icloud to the phone. I had over 200 contacts saved. This morning I had all of my contacts, now they are gone. My phone was in my locker the entire day, I did not touch any settings. Now my contacts are gone! I even went to icloud on the internet and they aren't there any more!
We have an apple family consisting of an iPhone 4, iPad2, and an iphone 3G which we just upgraded to an iPhone 4 today. When we were setting up the new iPhone 4 to connect to iCloud and our apple ID we accidentally merged all the contacts via iCloud from both iPhones into 1 large contact list (the same list on both phones). We keep separate contact lists for our phones, but use iCloud to sync everything else together. I already figured out how to turn off the syncing of the contacts, but is there any way to revert/delete or however you want to word it, the contacts list back to each phone having only their original contacts? When I turned off the contact syncing in the iCloud settings it did ask if I wanted to keep the contacts from icloud or delete them so out of fear of it deleting ALL my contacts I tapped Yes to keep them (probably the wrong choice there). On my wife's new phone it is no big deal, I just manually deleted the 20 or so contacts that were added from my phone, but she has 100+ contacts that are now on my phone that I would rather not delete one by one manually. I also figure I could just do a restore from a backup on my phone through iTunes, but its been a while since I did one and I would end up loosing recent data and contacts so that isn't an option.
