All Contacts Lost from Computer, then iCloud, now what?

As above, but I had a backup from a month ago, still lost a lot of added things but it could have been worse. I guess you have to back up iCloud / your Address Book with an archive daily.
The problem is that when I import my remaining contacts back into the Addres Book, they disappear after a few seconds and never end up on my iCloud web page at my iCloud account. Now what???
I tried deleting the iCloud account, re initiating, all sorts of things but no joy.

  • Same iTunes, different iCloud accounts: all contacts lost from one iPhone appeared on the second iPhone

    Hello there.
    Got following situation:
    iPhone A - iTunes Store (Apple-ID) account = [email protected] / iCloud account = [email protected]
    iPhone B - iTunes Store (Apple-ID) account = [email protected] / iCloud account = [email protected]
    Somehow all contacts in iPhone B disappeared and appeared on iPhone A (together with the ones already existing).
    My questions:
    what's the cause of this?
    how do I get back (iPhone A with only its original contacts, iPhone B with the "disappeared" contacts)?
    After I will have put everything back as it was a couple of days ago, I'd change the iCloud email for iPhone A, so that it doesn't match the Apple-ID anymore: do you think this might help?
    Thanks and regards,
    Flavio.

    Hi there.
    Thanks for your reply. Somehow after logging into the iCloud account of "iPhone B", the contacts reappered on the iPhone B itself!!! Weird!
    Now, I'd still like to do the change for "iPhone A" and move the iCloud login/account away from the Apple-ID: is this achieved by simply disabling iCloud sync and re-enabling it with a different email address? What about the "old" data which would remain on iCloud? Any way to do a "clean" migration here?
    Thanks and regards,
    F.

  • All contacts lost after turning on icloud IOS 5.1.1

    Today I turn on icloud on my iphone 4 using ios 5.1.1 to sync my contacts, once it done, all my contacts disappeared from my address book.
    I have done everything I can and search on the internet but no way I can get the contacts back. I already tried turning off icloud and choose Keep on my Iphone option, tried turning on icloud again but also no luck, when I log into www.icloud.com with my account, my address book is also empty.
    What must I do now? Why on earth Apple allow a software to wipe all the data (in my case - my contacts) from the user's phone without providing a convenience way to backup in a user friendly manner?

  • TS4036 all contacts lost after sync with icloud

    I activated the icloud using my iphone 4s. Suddenly all of my 1000s of contacts were gone. I hope they would still be there on my desktop (till recent sync). There were probably no contacts in my icloud and it wiped those on my cell. This should have been merge and icloud should have updated. Now should I turn off icloud and just sync my iphone.

  • All contacts lost from phone

    My phone has lost its entire contacts list. I have an iPhone 3GS and have recently updated to iOS4. When I go into messages to send a text, the phone seems to remember my phone's entire contact list when I search for people, but I can't actually pull up my phone's cotact list to actually CALL anyone.
    It's a little annoying.

    Restore from your last backup.

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

  • How do you sync contacts with gmail, not other place on computer? I don't know where the contacts came from on that are now on my new phone. There are way too many and it is not my list of contacts I have on gmail. Where else is this from?

    I don't know where the contacts came from on that are now on my new phone. There are way too many and it is not my list of contacts I have on gmail. Where else is this from? I spent a LONG time on gmail going through my list of contacts. There were about 400 and I got it down to about 90. When I went to sync my new phone, ALL 400 synced.
    Thank you for any help!

    Sorry for the repeat...new here. OBVIOUSLY.

    ipad seized up and it said to hookup with home computer... now what?

    Did you try connecting the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes and see what happens? I assume that you will have to restore in this case but you can try that and see what happens first.
    This article explains the restore process.

  • I had to change my password to get into my iTunes account. I had $11.11 remaining on a card I had. I no longer have that card but it wants the code from the card. Now what?

    I had to change my password to get into my iTunes account. I had $11.11 remaining on a card I had. I no longer have that card but it wants the code from the card. Now what?

    First, please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. The only people who will reply to your posts are we your fellow users. iTunes Support will never respond to posts made here.
    As to your issue, confirm with your bank that they do not block access from on-line services or otherwise have restrictions on with whom a card can be used. For some company cards, such blocks can be set up. If you confirm that no such restrictions are in place, post back and we'll go from there.
