Can Outlook contacts be synched into iCloud?

Feels like the Outlook contacts belong to MS, you only can view them from Apple devices, but you never can transfer (copy or move) them into your iCloud. This is what I found after several days trying.

Hi NZDayu!
This program ought to be able to help you sync those contacts from Outlook into iCloud:
iCloud Control Panel 3.1 for Windows

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

HT5824 can I stop contacts from going into icloud?

Other than removing my contacts from my iPhone 4S, can I stop my contacts from going into iCloud?

You could simply turn off iCloud contacts sync on your iPhone in "Settings > iCloud > Contacts".

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.

Importing contacts from pst into iCloud using Outlook 2010

I am trying to import contacts from a PST file into iCloud by importing it with Outlook 2010's standard import tool. I have set up iCloud on my desktop and have a node in my Outlook 2010 Contacts menu for iCloud. There are about 2000 contacts in the PST, but the import completes with only 511 contacts every time. The pop-up message at the end says "some items cannot be copied. they were either moved or deleted, or access was denied."
How can I troubleshoot this? Or, is there an alternate way to bring these contacts into iCloud for use also in Outlook and my iPhone 4?

i'm not sure this is possible. as far as i know you can only get contacts onto the ipod from either outlook OR windows contacts (which i think is only available with vista.)
there is an app called funambol, which will allow you to sync your contacts to an internet server, your ipod, and your mobile phone, using wifi.

TS4002 How can I get my messages into icloud

How can I get my text messages into icloud from iphone

Messages are only backed up to iCloud as part of a full iOS device backup, which can be restored in full to another, or the same iOS device.
Messages are not available separately in iCloud, nor can they be viewed.

I use Touchdown from Nitodesk for my work email. Its a little pricey, but it works with your companys OWA (Outlook Web Access) portal. They do have a 30 day trial that they insist that you try to make sure it will work for you before you shell out any money for the app. It syncs the Calendar, notes, tasks, emails etc.
It has a discovery feature that it will figure out what it needs to configure. All you need to provide is how you log into OWA (Username/password, website) and the program does the rest. It works very well for me.
No I am not employed by Nitrodesk. I only use the program. There was no need to ask my IT people to set anything up for me.
Give it a try, it might work as well for you too.
One day I will have to give this app a try, I am just use to configuring my device to sync without a 3rd party app but I have heard that Touchdown seems to be the best thing going to setup a corp sync process..

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.

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.

I cannot import .abbu contact back up into iCloud.

I have lost my contacts. Fortunately, I did back up the contacts through the Contact back-up program. Now I only need to know how to import these contacts into my iCloud account. I have two iCloud accounts, one for home, one for work. If I try to import into my contact account into my home Contacts program, I get a message that all the existing contacts will be deleted. Can someone help me?

Ok. The story is a little long. I have three iCloud accounts. One for 'home', one for 'work', and one for a 'new job' I recently started.
I have all three files showing in my contacts application on my iMac.
I wanted to import the .abbu back up from my 'work' contacts file into my 'new job' contacts file on my iMac. When I tried to do this, a pop-up stated that it will delete all my contacts. Since I had only one contact in my 'new job' account, I thought that would be alright. Instead it deleted all the contacts in both the 'work' account and the 'new job' account leaving me with both those files empty. My 'home' contacts file was left unchanged. A funny thing happens when I try to import the file. all of the contacts show, but after about three seconds, they all disappear again. So they must be in the file. I just can't get them to stay.
There are about 3,000 contacts in my 'work' account and 275 in my 'home' account. I am scared of loosing my 'home' account at this point.

How I share my Outlook (contact, and calendar) with iCloud and Blackberry?

I have Window 7 with Outlook 2007. I am trying to sync my contact, and calendar between my blackberry and iCloud such as iPod touch or iPad. I am having a hard time to track down by google and found tons of answer where is not the best one. I am using BIS where normally my blackberry sync with Blackberry Desktop Manager with my Outlook. I do not have exchange server or exchange thing at all. When I got iPod touch or iPad, all my regular contacts and appointments had moved to iCloud and ingore my regular one with Blackberry. I need to make it work between blackberry and iPod touch or iPad along with my outlook where I can control everything in Outlook.
I had one idea which I tried to change the map folder under Blackberry Desktop Manager for sync where I see all my folders in "Microsoft Outlook Folders" I see one of them said iCloud and trying to add it and got an error message which said, "Error encountered. Error code- 0x80043bea. Check documentation"
Any clue?
Thanks.

Hi Bormond65,
Can you tell us a little bit more about your configuration? Are you using Exchange? Are you currently run Outlook for Mac (Office 2011) on your MacBook Pro? Or are you looking to migrate data from a PC to Outlook for Mac on your MacBook Pro?

Contacts not going into iCloud from MacBook.

My contacts APPEAR to be missing from my address book on my iPhone 4 (5.0.1), but they are invisible. I can choose a contact when starting a new message, but the address book itself seems to only contain my name. In iCloud, my address book is also empty, save for my name.
I can't find where the problem can be fixed. In iTunes there is no Contacts sinc and in Contacts I can't find a way to tell it to upload to iCloud. I'm a newbie to Apple.....

OK. So last night I got an invitation from Apple to create an @me.com email address. When I bought my Macbook Pro this spring I created "[email protected]". Fine, I thought, I'll create 'another' since they invited me. So I followed the steps and created "[email protected]". POOF! My contacts appear on my phone. Thankyou I thought. So this morning I get out my MbP and open up MAIL to add [email protected] to my accounts. No go. I'm thinking I need to deleat the [email protected] off of my iPhone and off of my MAIL on my MbP. I'm afraid to do that since I have the contacts showing up on my iPhone now. The mail in iCloud works now too - since the [email protected] was created. Hmmm... Photos still not showing up in iCloud, but the stream is working on my iPhone.
Well, waiting to see has worked for me in the past, so I think I'll do the "wait and see" remedy again. I'll leave the [email protected] on both my phone and laptop and leave the [email protected] on the phone.
Learning all this stuff is neat, if a little scary, but it's worth it since I don't want to become a dinasour. "LOL" as they say.....
