Anyway to reset/reload the iCloud Contact list from a good know source (one way synch, from an iOS device to iCloud)?

Is there anyway to reset/load the iCloud Contact list form a good known source?
i.e. One way synch, from an iOS device to iCloud (The way we used to be able to do it with MobileMe)?
My current iCloud Contact list is messed up and I want to reset/reload it with a good know list from one of my iOS devices, but I can't find a way to do it, or at least it is not obviouse to me.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I agree ! Need to be able to flush out and reset what's in the Cloud easily/simply, then start a new sync from a known good source.
So far, not impressed (again) with Apple's syncing prowess...

    then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
    then import pics to computer

    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

    If it iwas registered to your account then you should be able to get it from your support profile : https://supportprofile.apple.com/
    If not then do you have a backup of the iPad on your computer's iTunes ? If you do then in iTunes go into Edit > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences if using a Mac) and on the Devices tab on that hover your mouse pointer over the iPad's backup : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061

  • This is a reminder that on 25/07/2013 you will be charged £28.00 for your 20 GB storage plan using your @@paymentCardInfo@@. If you do not wish to be charged, you can cancel by downgrading to the free storage plan from your iOS device, Mac or PC

    What is the charge for ?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The free iCloud storage is 5 GB, and you have 25 GB of iCloud storage, so you have to pay for the storage. If you don't want to pay, downgrade the storage

    You should be able to set up numerous IMAP accounts on your iPhone with no problems.
    IMAP will not sync contacts and calendars in your local copy of Outlook.

    n my house we have 2 iphone 4, and everytime we get the same contact list freom each other, how can we unsync the contacts so each user keeps thir own contact list?

    Hi user 1724, before icloud, we had the same issue.... 
    so yes,  the solution was to  each log  into the mac separately.
    i kept the main itunes library and apple id, and my son made his own itunes library (which linked to the main itunes/apple id)   - so we were able to maintain separate contacts lists.
    but then w/ the cloud i guess we assumed the cloud would know we each have different contact lists on diff. phones, but it seems the cloud just lumped it all together -

  • Where are the MAIL contacts list?

    Just installed Mountain Lion. Now cannot find the Mail Contacts list. There is an "Address Panel" but it cannot be edited. It's loaded up with iCloud stuff and how do I get rid of this stuff?

    I cannot believe an email program does not have an address/contacts file to enter addresses to send a new email.
    Is there no way to import my list from another email program such as AOL mail?
    The Mail program in Snow Leopard had a contact/address file and just clicking on an address entered it into the TO" field. How does this work in Mountain Lion Mail? I cannot figure it out. This makes this program virtually useless.
    This iCloud is a horror.

  • How can I replace the current contacts list and put in my own

    How can I replace the current contacts list and put in my own?  My son's name and contact list appear, inadvertently loaded when he used the iPad.  I have an iPad mini, fully updated to iOS 7.0.4.

    He must have signed into his icloud account using your device.  You need to disconnect the device from that account and then sign in using your account ID.
    Go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  Then log in using a different ID.

  • How do i erase a corrupt contact list from iCloud,iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro and restore Address Book backup to all devices and cloud?

    how do i erase a corrupt contact list from iCloud,iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro and restore Address Book backup to all devices and cloud?
    I saved a corrected, most up to date version of my master Address Book Contacts as a back-up on my Mac Book Pro.
    then in an effort to "simplify my life"  i attempted to sync my I phone contacts - ( pre clean-up version) with my clean list on Mac Book Pro, New I pad and newly available icloud. DUH!! Using iTunes to do the sync caused the clean MacBOOK Pro list to be commingled with the dirty iphone contacts. amd now the whole mess is in the cloud. 
    I need to clear out the contaminated lists from all iplaces, and startover with Back-up on my macbook pro. BUT HOW???
    Help

    I had exported an address book backup: abbu
    so since i wrote, i have found my way into the cloud: selected all entries - deleted them all from the cloud.
    This wiped out contacts on my iphone and i pad, and MBP, as well as on the cloud.  I then imported the abbu back into my now empty address book. 
    To repopulate the crowd, i selected all in my address book and created a single card vCard for export to my desktop.  I then dragged that vcard into my empty cloud.  Now my cloud has the same clean contacts as my MBP addressbook.  The cloud then pushed the clean contacts into my empty ipad and iphone contacts. 
    I had to go back to Address Book>preferences>Accounts and Add an I cloud account - but if you accidentally create a second i cloud account - all of a sudden your address book will duplicate itself.  I quickly reversed it by deleting one of the icloud accounts in my Address Book>preferences>Accounts. 
    I created a new entry on my MBP and it is now on all devices and in cloud
    I also created a new entry on my iPhone and it is now in the address book on my MBP.
    I feel empowered!!
    Have i missed anything??

  • I've a new account on iMac.  When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar.  WWhen I start keying in a name, it comes up with the address.  How do I engage the  contact list from the email?

    I've a new account on iMac.  When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar, which would allow me to select the persons I want to include on the distribution of the email.  When I start keying in a name in the email, it comes up with the person's address, which shows it is synced.  How do I engage the contact list from the email like I do on my old account (where a contact list icon shows up, along with the "attach" and other icons) ?

    With the New Message window open, go to the View menu and select "Customize Toolbar...".
    In the screen that opens, drag the item labelled "Address" into the Toolbar area of the New Message window, then click the "Done" button.
    That item should be then added to the Toolbar for the New Message window.
    Note that the main Mail window and the New Message window (as well as the separate message window if you open a message that way) use different toolbars - the settings/inclusions for one do not carry over to another.
