All my contacts are gone and won't sync up with cloud

After I installed mountain lion on my Mac book pro . My contacts have disappeared and won't sync up from iCloud .
They are on my other devices and on the c.loud

I am having the exact same problem.  Not only will the contacts not sync, but when contacts is open, it slows down the ENTIRE computer.  I installed Mountain Lion last night and the contacts list is the only thing that I have spotted that is having a problem.  I even tried exporting the vCards from the iCloud website and contacts still won't accept it.  I hope they come out with something to fix this quick.

    Cant sign in to iCloud 

    Did you backup as part of the update?
    You don't have them on your computer?
    Have you checked what your sync setting in iTunes are?

  • My daughter register her ipod with my account and now all my contacts are gone?

    my daughter register her ipod with my account and now all my contacts are gone and I have her contacts in my iphone I need my contacts back!!

    If you are sharing the same iCloud account your data will be merged.  Then if she deleted your contacts from her device, they would have been deleted from yours too.
    The first thing to do is migrate your daughter's iPod to her own iCloud account (you can continue to share the same iTunes ID; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud).  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos she wants to keep to her camera roll (unless already there) by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create her new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once she is on her own account, you may be able to recover your contacts from your iCloud backup by following these steps: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

    If you need assistance with finding any of your restores or attempting to restore from any that happened prior to his incident follow this article
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    IF you do find a backup that has your contacts; I'd /highly/ recommand turning off your wifi network after the restore is finished because if the issue is with your iCloud your contacts may merge back with her's.
    With iCloud you DO NOT want to share the account; bad things happen Evil evil thigns...
    But in all seriousness; if two devices have the same iCloud; iCloud is told to merge and sync infomation between hte two and can't tell that it doesn't belong to the same person

  • While synching iPhone, box popped up and said changes will be made to my contacts. If I didnt allow change, it wasnt going to continue to sync. Now half of my contacts are gone and I have all of my wifes contacts. Any way I can get mine back?

    While synching my iPhone, a box popped up and said that so many of my contacts are going to change.  That happened before and my contacts and my wifes contacts ended up in each others phones. So we just had to go through and delete the ones we didnt want.  When I did it this time, half of my contacts are gone and I have all of my wifes.  Any way I can get my contacts back?

    You should have been sycning them with your computer all along.  Sync them from your computer back to the iphone.

    Hi stanlaw,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The information below should help you with this.
    Associating and verifying email addresses with your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68
    How to verify the primary email address for your Apple ID
    When you first create an Apple ID (using your email address) a verification email will be sent to that address. If you sign in to your Apple ID from the link in that email, the email address will be verified as the primary email address for your Apple ID. You can also resend the email verification if the email address is not verified:
    1. Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account information.
    2. Click Resend under Primary Email Address.
    3. Verify your changes by following the link in the email you will receive from Apple and signing back in to your account.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Happy Holidays!

    If you were not syncing and backing up your phone to either iTunes or iCloud, then they are gone. There is no "undo".

    Hey there denise.ca,
    I see that you have a question about one of the functions of USB syncing. To answer your question, yes, you can sync contacts from your computer to your iPhone using USB syncing and iTunes:

  • Upgrade iPhone to the new OS4 and now all my contacts are gone

    I took the new OS4 update and now all my contacts are gone! I tried restoring from a previous backup and they're still not there!
    This is very disturbing.
    What can one do to restore their contacts (that should have never been deleted in the first place)?

    I’ve contacted a friend that works for Mac; He is a bit of a genius. Apparently when you reboot there will be a copy of your backed up phones details from before you installed the new software. I'm currently trying this and just pressing ok to all of the error messages. Looking at the screen on itunes that displays the usage, over time it’s filling up more and more. Maybe also give it a go and see if second time lucky things come back, especially all those contacts. Ill let you know how I go.... I’m definitely considering blackberry after this and I have been an iPhone devotee from the start!! NOT HAPPY JAN

  • All my contacts are gone from my iphone and my address book!!

    All of a sudden, I synced my iphone with my imac as usual and all my contacts are gone out of the phone and the address book onmy computer. Help! Thanks

    Do you not maintain a backup of your important data saved to an external hard drive used for backup purposes only or to CD media?
    The Address Book application includes a simple backup database option as does iCal which is simple to restore the entire database from in the event something like this occurs.
    Do you have a .Mac account? If so, you can recover all contacts from your .Mac online address book. If not and you don't have a backup of this data available in some fashion, you are in trouble.

  • I have a 3gs that just updated to 5.0 all my contacts are gone. how can i get them back?

    i have a 3gs that i just updated to 5.0. all my contacts are gone. how can i get them back?

    Are your contacts still on your computer? If yes, set one contact up on the phone and sync it, you'll get the option to merge data.
    If there are no more contacts on the computer, see if your latest backup still has the info, if you did not sync after you lose the info, they are still part of the backup.

  • HT4528 I was in a pub in Scotland & used their wi-fi.  An update offer that looked legit came up & I did it.  Took several minutes, everything seems to be working OK except all my contacts are gone.  Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    I'll give those drivers a try the next time I install Windows 8. However I still don't understand how they would be any different to what is included in Boot Camp Assistant that came with Mountain Lion. Can you or anyone else confirm that they are different?
    Can you also confirm that you have the Bluetooth radios in Device Manager and that you can discover Bluetooth devices under Windows.
    Last question - do you run more than 1 partition in Windows?

    Have you tried toggling contacts off and back on again? Anything trickle in, thereafter?
    If not, restore from your iCloud backup. Go to settings/general/reset/ erase all content and settings. When prompted on how to setup the device, select the iCloud backup : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859
