Can I import contacts and calendar into iCloud?

Here's my situation:  I have a ton of contacts and calendar items on an old Powerbook G4. It's old enough that I can't upgrade to OSX Lion, so therefore I can't use it to sync with iCloud. But I am getting an iPhone 4s, and want to figure out how I can get those contacts and calendars on the phone, hopefully using iCloud as the intermediary.
Is there a way in iCloud to do a one-time manual import of a contacts or calendar file? I could then synch the new 4s with iCloud. I'm eventually going to get a new desktop, but in the meantime need to use the 4s as a standalone device.

  • How can I import my Google calendar to iCloud calendar via web or ios?

    I've decided I want to move from contacts/calendar in gmail to icloud. I was going to do the same with mail, but it seems iCloud doesn't have the level of functionality that gmail does.
    My problem is that all instructions for importing my gmail calendar into icloud require some sort of desktop (I use PC) mail/calendar program. I don't use one. I manage my mail & calendars purely on my iphone or on the website(s). How can I import my .ics file into iCloud calendar via either the iCloud web interface or via my iPhone?

    The only possible way I could imagine it might work ( can't guarantee it ) is as followed.
    #1 Your Google Calendar is synced with your iphoen and you go into settings to turn it off.
    #2 It will ask you: "What would you like to do with excisting local calendars on your iphone", you click keep them on iphone.
    #3 Now you sync your empty icloud calendar with your iphone and hopefully the local calendar would sync on your icloud calendar?
    Might work...not sure, play around with the settings in the iphone calendar app etc...

  • Importing contacts from aol into iCloud

    I have imported contacts from AOL into iCloud.  The nature of AOL's contacts results in many email addresses listed as "undefined."  I culled through the undefineds either deleted the entry or added it to an existing entry.  BUT NOW the "undefineds" are back!  Am I missing a setting or is there a way to make sure the "undefineds" do not keep popping up?
    Thanks

    I think the point of backups is to have your data available should you need it in a device crash, etc.
    You can backup using your DM and then move the *.ipd file to your Media Card. Should you be travelling, and have a crisis, you can move that IPD file to any computer or laptop and do a restore.
    I am not aware of a way to import your contacts from the Media Card, however.

  • Can I synch contacts and calendar with outlook on my office computer and media in family itunes library on my home computer?

    I am purchasing a iphone4s. Can I synch contacts and calendar with outlook on my office computer and media in my family itunes library on my home computer?  If so, how?

    I'm having the same issue. Upgraded my 3G to OS4 which wiped out my contacts from the phone. I also use CompanionLink (Express) to sync ATC with Outlook and iTunes and the phone. Have spent hours/days on the phone with second level Apple tech support to no avail. CompanionLink IS syncing with Outlook but Outlook isn't syncing with the phone. Have tried syncing to Outlook directly (without CompanionLink) but no good result. Tried syncing through MobilMe. Can sync all Outlook contacts from my computer to me.com through MobileMe but does not sync with the phone. Tech support suggested trying to sync fewer contacts at a time as their might be a problem with the contacts file. DID manage to get 4000 of my 5600 contacts back in but can't get any more in. Previously had NO problem syncin all contacts directly and through CompanionLink. VERY frustrating.
    Also, I use Outlook Express for email. Since installing MobileMe I get an error message saying that Outlook isn't my default mail handler and I need to change the settings to make it the default mail handler. I DO NOT have "sync mail" checked as I'm not trying to sync my email accounts...only contacts and calendars. Made Outlook the default mail handler which stops the error message but still can't sync the contacts and I want to keep Outlook Express for email.

  • I can't set up contacts and calendar for iCloud on my PC

    I'm trying to set up iCloud so it'll sync my Mail, Contacts, and Calendar & Tasks between my Windo. However, the iCloud Control Panel won't let me set up the Contacts and Calendar & Tasks. When setting up, it asks me to shut down Outlook (which I do). Then it tells me that I need to restart Outlook with Mail enabled and that I need to add my iCloud account in order to add Contacts and Calendar & Tasks. I have no idea what the former means. I have added my iCloud account although what I REALLY want to sync is the Contacts and Calendar data from the e-mail I use Outlook for (which is also my Apple ID). I have Outlook 2010. Any idea why I'm getting this message and how I can set up iCloud?

    Hi there bakingcountrygirl2011!
    I have a couple of articles here that should help you get iCloud set up on your Windows machine. The first is about activating iCloud mail in Outlook, and can be found below:
    iCloud: Set up iCloud Mail on your devices and computers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2621
    And here are the steps you need to follow:
    Set up iCloud Mail on Microsoft Outlook 2010 or Microsoft Outlook 2007
    Open the iCloud Control Panel, select (to turn on) the Mail, Contacts, Calendars, & Tasks checkbox, then click Apply.
    To open the iCloud Control Panel in Windows 8, move the pointer to the upper-right corner of the screen to show the Charms bar, click the Search charm, then click iCloud Control Panel on the left.
    To open the iCloud Control Panel in Windows 7 or Windows Vista, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
    Your iCloud Mail account is displayed in the left column of Microsoft Outlook.
    To view your iCloud Mail account in Microsoft Outlook, click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iCloud email account.
    If you are still having issues with your contacts after following the instructions in that article, you will want to see this article, about troubleshooting sync issues with your iCloud contacts:
    iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998
    You will also probably want to pay special attention to this particular part of that article:
    Ensure the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active within Outlook.
    For Outlook 2010, follow these steps to verify the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active:
    Open Outlook 2010.
    Click the File menu.
    Click Options in the left panel of the Outlook window.
    Click Add-Ins in the left panel of the Outlook Options window.
    Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins," and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed
    For Outlook 2007, follow these steps to verify the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active
    Open Outlook 2007
    From the Tools menu, choose Trust Center.
    Select Add-ins from the left column.
    Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins," and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
    For additional information about managing Add-ins with Microsoft Outlook, see this Microsoft support document.
    Hope that helps. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

  • How can I sync contacts and calendar via iTunes 11.1.8 to iOS 3.1.3 (iPhone 1)?

    I am proud owner of an iPhone 1 and it still works fine, but runs on iOS 3.1.3. I updated my 2 year old iMac to Mac OS X (10.9) and I am now using iTunes 11.1.8. Actually, I bought my iMac because I was so enthusiastic to see how smooth syncing with my iPhone worked. Now, since OS X, I can not sync calendar and contacts anymore. I had to reset my iPhone and start from scratch, so contacts and calendar are empty.
    Sync via iTunes does not work anymore because Apple deleted the direct sync function and my iPhone's iOS does not support iCloud.
    Sync via CalDav does not work, beause for some reason my iCloud account is not approved when trying to create it in mail/calendar/contacts (I tried several times, crosschecked, all data appear correct to me and work in the browser access).
    Sync via Google does not work, because obviously, my iOS does not support their calendar and contacts function.
    Sync via Windows PC might work, but I would have to set one up from scratch.
    Downgrading to iTunes 10.7 failed, because OS X didn't allow it. Downgrading the Mac OS might be an option, but I am already running e.g. Books and using it a lot.
    Any help is welcome.
    Iris
    P.S.: I still remember Steve Jobs saying "it simply works!"

    Thank you Meta, but I could not get the calendar and contact sync with Gmail to work. Apple support already suggested to use Google or a Windows PC. Maybe I should actually reset and try my old Windows PC. Seriously, ... can this be the solution after a Mac OS update for pure Apple users?

  • Can I sync contacts and calendars with iTunes Match enabled?

    I’m getting an iPhone in a couple of weeks and really want iTunes match but the more I read about it the more I’m wondering whether it’ll be worth the hassle. I’ve loads of old CD rips at 128 kbps and protected iTunes files, also at 128 kbps, and what really attracts me is the idea of upgrading all these to unprotected 256 kbps.
    I have a Macbook for personal use and a PC for work, being able to sync both computers to the phone will be essential for me. I know that I wouldn’t be able to sync music with iTunes match enabled but if I can sync contacts and calendars and drag Office documents to the phone from both computers that would be OK.
    Please could someone tell me whether this would be possible?

    I think I understand now, it's nothing to do with syncing music - everything is synced through iTunes. Have I understood properly?
    Yes. Including music.

    This could be a major blow for me as I'll be using the iPhone mainly for work so I will have to Sync with the PC. If I understand this correctly, once I decide to sync with Outlook on the PC as the main priority I can no longer sync with the Macbook?
    What if I ditch iCloud and sync everything through USB?
    If it is possible for you to do so you might want to consider signing up for an iCloud account <http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html>. Keep in mind that iCloud and iTunes Match are seperate services. One does not require the other. However iCloud will work with Outlook 2007 and up so you can keep all your contacts in sync across the devices. You can also sign up for iTunes Match if you want. Or you might even consider using Google to do what you want. It is not necessary for you to keep syncing via USB, unless that is just what you are comfortable doing.

  • Can't sync Contacts and Calendar on my Centro

    Palm Product: Centro (for Sprint)
    Problem: I can hotsync my Centro with Microsoft Outlook for all of my applications except for the 2 most important apps: Contacts and Calendar appointments.
    I have reviewed most Forum postings, and don't see one directly related to my problem.
    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    I, too, have this problem.  I have Office 2007, Palm Desktop 6.2/HotSync Manager 7.0, and a Palm Centro (with the latest Sprint rom).  I can sync everything except my Outlook Calendar and Contacts.  HotSync manager is set to have my Centro overwrite Outlook when there is a conflict and sync is enabled for all items (including Calendar and Sync).  When I sync, the details view shows the sync task "Contacts (Outlook)" and "Calendar (Outlook)" and both are checked off as the sync completes successfully.  The HotSync log lists Outlook Tasks and Notes (both of which actually DO sync) but does not list Calendar or Contacts.  I have successfully set up an exchange account on the Centro and have many calendar items and contacts I'd like to sync.  Oh, and I only have one Outlook Profile (which is selected under the conduit settings of HotSync Manager) and the correct "Calendar" folder is selected.  There.  I think I covered all the bases.  It seems like I'm having the same problem as the OP.  Any ideas?
