After iCloud sync I lost all contacts from Iphone and iCloud

I upgraded my iphone4 to ios6.
All worked.
After I settings->icloud->contacts on  (backup on icloud is off)
After a while I noticed that all my contacts are empty.
Checked on www.icloud.com if my contats were available, but nothing.
Can I recover my contacts?

Itunes does not store contacts.
The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly.  Your contacts should be in whatever program you have chosen to sync.

    Dear rep
    I've lost all contacts from my iPhone I've backed it up but still no contacts. What can I do?

    Are you using iCloud to sync Contacts to your iPhone? If not, do you have a backup on iTunes?
    Could you try to explain the issue with more details please.

  • ICloud won't sync all contacts from iPhone to iCloud

    Hi,
    So I have 1090 contacts on my iPhone 4S. I have iCloud set up and when I go to iCloud.com or when I sync my MacBook Air (Lion) with iCloud only 590 contacts are merging. I have turned iCloud on and off on my iPhone to see if this would trigger a new sync but the same amount of contacts seem to merge. Does anyone have any idea how I can get all my contacts from my iPhone to merge to iCloud?
    Thanks so much community!!!
    Cheers,
    Colin

    I know this is an old thread, but since I had the same issue and finally solved it, I'll post this for future reference.
    I had over 300 contacts on my iPhone 4 but only about 60 were showing up in iCloud. Saw lots of discussion, tried a few things, but here is the fix that worked for me.
    1. Got to Settings
    2. Go to iCloud
    3. Slide Contacts option to Off (You'll get a warning, make sure you choose to save the Contacts on your phone)
    4. Close out of Settings
    4. Wait 5 minutes or so
    5. Go back to Settings\iCloud
    6. Slide Contacts option to On (You'll get a message asking to merge Contacts, say yes)
    7. Go to Settings\iCloud\Storage & Backup
    8. Select Back Up Now
    That should do it. All of my iPhone Contacts are now in iCloud

    how to copy all contacts from iphone 3gs to google nexus 5 ?

    Copy the contacts to a supported application on the computer to sync to the Nexus, or you can sync the contacts to a Google account, which you will have with the Nexus and then sync them to the Nexus.

  • Merging Contacts From iPhone to iCloud

    This is not a question.  This is an explanation of how to merge contacts from iPhone to iCloud.
    I cant believe how difficult Apple makes this process.  I figured it out on my own because Apple does not explain it.  In fact, Apple hasn't even provided directions or guidance on this topic since 2012.
    Here it is.  Go to Settings on your iPhone.  Go to iCloud.  Un-hook the slider next to Contacts.  Hook the slider next to Contacts.  A pop up asks Merge, hit merge.  This will copy all contacts in your iPhone to the Cloud.
    Apple needs to get back to basics or risk losing customers.

    Hello jessica13loose
    If the contacts are solely on your iPhone and not apart of iCloud, go to Settings > iCloud and turn off Contacts. It will ask if you want to delete or keep the contacts on your iPhone. Go ahead and keep them on your iPhone. When that is done, turn it back on and iCloud will merge all that contact data back onto iCloud.

  • I lost all contacts from my iCloud folder in Outlook

    After messing up with Outlook and a software utility from Code Two who syncs all contacts from Outlook back to iCloud (http://www.codetwo.com/sync-for-icloud/) I managed to erase all the 1490 contcts I had on iCloud. And also deleted them from my ipad and iphone. I decided thta the only solution was to restore them from my itunes backup but after restoring my ipad i saw that no contacts are restored. The same empty address book!!! Is this logical ? The itunes back doesnt keep all the contacts ? Whats the reason of doing a back up if it only keeps certain things but not the so so important contacts list!
    Can anyone help ? Any suggestions ?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Click on the first contact, then shift click on the last one to select all contacts, then use the delete key on your keyboard. Make sure you have only chosen contacts from the iCloud group.

  • HT4528 I have 3 iPhones, one Ipad, and two PC's that I have tried to "connect" using one iTunes account and am having issues.I connected iPhone #3 to one PC, it removed all contacts from iPhone #3, replaced w/ contacts from iPhone #2. How can I get back?

    I have 3 iPhones, one iPad and 2 PC's, all using the same iTunes account.  I want to be able to have each iPhone keep their own list of accounts and music list and the I pad different as well.  I want to 2 PC's music list to match.  How do I do this?
    Additionally, when I connected iPhone #3 to one PC, it removed the contacts from #3 and replaced it with contacts from iPhone #2.  How do I get those contacts back and prevent this from happening again?

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

    or here:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • How can I move all my contacts from iPhone to iCloud?

    On my iPhone, all my contacts are synched with my MobileMe Account. Now I've set up iCloud on my iPhone by creating a NEW iCloud account, with a different Apple ID (I mean, different from my MobileMe account and from my Apple Store/ITunes account, to test the new iCloud).
    In fact I would like to move all my iPhone contacts to my new iCloud account. I have chosen the appropriate settings under iCloud settings, but (even after several days) my contacts have not synched with iCloud.
    How can I do this?
    I would like to avoid migrating my MobileMe account to iCloud for the time being.
    Thanks for your help,
    Marco

    Windows 8, Outlook 2010, I'm trying via Google, but the other problem I have, is that I can't update my contacts in iCloud, I tried from the web on the tab that says update contacts, but is not synchronizing them...

  • Syncing contacts from iphone to icloud

    My iPhone 4 won't sync the "all contacts" section of my phone to the iCloud contacts. I just want to put all of my contacts from my iPhone onto iCloud so they can then be synced to my Macbook Pro. As of right now I have an incomplete contact list on my Mac. Thanks for the help!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • ICloud Contacts on iPad are Not the Same as the local Contacts on my iPhone..how can i put all my Contacts from iPhone into iCloud?

    I want to have all my local iPhone Contacts in the cloud to have them also on my iPad.
    iCloud only saved 36 from 225 total Contacts. My IPhone Contacts are saved on the iPhone itself, but how can I Transfer them into the cloud?

    The Mac uses Mac OS X and iDevices use iOS. These are two different operating systems and the apps must be written for each operating system specifically, even when the apps go by the same name, such as the iWork apps, they are two ifferent versions of the same app for the two different platforms.
    So, as an example, Safari has been written for three different operating systems, Mac OS X, iOS and Windows. And the Safari apps, as similar as they are visually, are not interchangeable for the different platforms.
