Contact information missing on iPad after migration to iCloud

I used mobile me on my iPad and iMac without any issues.  I migrated to iCloud and have been struggling with it for days.
iCloud has all my contacts and info, but iPad displays only the list of names with no information on phone numbers or addresses.  I know the information is there because other apps on the iPad, like my navigator, have no problem accessing the information.
I tried the suggested remedy of turning off iCloud contacts and then turning it back on several times with no change.
Mysterious and frustrating.  I'm hoping I've missed something obvious.  Has anyone had a similar problem that they fixed?

Ok, here is my theroy.   In looking at the settings on the iPhone & iPad under mail/account/advance/outgoing mail server/primary server/
The Server is on (cannot turn it off)
but under Authentication it is set for Apple Token.  Since you cannot turn off the server and change it to id/password I came up with this temp solution until apple comes up with a fix:
I did the following:
under mail
Add Account: (other)
Mail
Add Mail Account
Name (Your Name)
address (account [email protected])
Password (iCloud Password)
Incoming Mail Server
Host Name: imap.mail.me.com
address (account [email protected])
Password (iCloud Password)
Outgiong Mail Server
SMTP smtp.mail.me.com
address (account [email protected])
Password (iCloud Password)
After your done filling out the information hit the next button & it will start to verify.  It my verify sucessfuly or come back & say it was unable to verify.  if the latter, then just hit continue.
Hit the save button & you now have access to your mail.
It worked for me.
Home it works for you

  • Can't sync contacts with Blackberry phone after migration to iCloud

    Can't sync contacts with Blackberry phone after migration to iCloud. The only way to do is to have a local copy of address book. What else can I do (before BB will fix the bug)?

    Ah! This explains why I have been tearing my hair out for the past 24 hours trying to get my contacts from Address Book to my new BB Torch!
    I found a workaround for a one-time sync:
    1. go into Address Book prefs and temporarily change Default account from iCloud to On My Mac (this makes the "All on My Mac" category visible)
    2. Go back into your contacts window, select all of your contacts, and copy them to All on My Mac (this will create duplicates of everything)
    3. Sync the BB.
    3. Return to prefs to change default account back to iCloud, and select all the contacts in All on My Mac and delete them, thereby removing all duplicates.
    This solution only works for a one-time sync and needs to be repeated for future syncs.
    Let's hope BB comes up with an iCloud compatible update ASAP!

  • Duplicates & triplicate Calendar items on my ipad after using the iCloud..

    i have duplicates Calendar items on my ipad after using the iCloud.. what am i doing wrong?? and how do i fix it?

    This solved my triplicate calendar issue:
    (short version)
    Settings ==> iCloud. Turn off Calenders.
    Delete exisiting calendar information when prompted.
    Settings ==> iCloud. Turn on Calenders.
    Restart Calender App.
    (verbose version)
    On your iOS devices go to Settings App ==> iCloud. Turn OFF Calendar Syncing. It will ask if you want to keep or delete previous Calendars on your phone, Choose Delete. Restart your Calendar app and see if it's squeaky clean. I had just birthdays and anniverseries. If you are still seeing items other than those (like birthdays) generated by the device then you are bringing in calendars from multiple sources. You'll need to turn off the other sources (if you have their entries duplicated already in the cloud).
    Now go back to Settings ==> iCloud and turn the calender back on. Restart the Calendar app, everything should look good now.

  • I use Windows Vista and Microsoft Outlook. After migrating to iCloud, the calendar of iCloud tranferred only part of my past Calendar items to the folder iCloud Calendar in my Outlook. How can I transfer all the entries?

    I use Windows Vista and Microsoft Outlook. After migrating to iCloud, the calendar of iCloud tranferred only part of my past Calendar items to the folder iCloud Calendar in my Outlook. How can I transfer all the entries? In iCloud's site all are there.

    If the calendar is on iCoud.com, all you would need to do to get it on your phone is go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your iCoud account and turn Calendars on.  The iCloud calendars will then download to your phone.

  • Missing Discoverer reports after migrating the EUL to new Database.

    Our Environment is Discoverer Relational- OLTP
    We have recently migrated the source database from Oracle 9.2.0.6 to 10.2.00.0 RAC, this made us to migrate the Discoverer to new database in production.
    Below are the database objects we migrated to new database.
    1. EUL schema
    2. Schemas referred by the Objects in the EUL (schemas containing functions, tables, views etc)
    3. Based on trigger we created to filter active discoverer database accounts, migrated only active database users to new database.
    Note: we had almost 4000 Discoverer users from 2005, since many of these users moved out of company or not using discoverer permanently, and there are users who used discoverer once in year or once in 6 months.
    Finally we come up with 300 Active Discoverer users to be migrated to new database.
    Issues: After migration
    Some of the migrated users did not get their reports migrated which are shared by other users? [Since we didn’t migrate these users schemas as they are not active].
    We have queried the EUL5_DOCUMENTS table in new database for a particular inactive users account (account which is not migrated) is not showing any reports owned by him.
    Since we have migrated EUL schema and active users new database, is this will effect the EUL, [Information related to non active users gets deleted from the EUL in New Database]
    Some users who are not figured in the active migrated list are requesting to get access to discoverer on new database. Can you please suggest the correct way to migrate these accounts.
    Exporting the accounts will work?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi ARS,
    Please check the following item in your new database.
    1. log_archive_max_processes Most properbly value set for this parameter is low ( may be it's set to 1.) Please increase up ( 4)I am curious to know what makes you think 4 is the right magic number for log_archive_max_processes - after all, he's only got one archive destination.

  • Missing Index entries after Migrating Repository from 1.3.2 to 9i

    Hi,
    We have migrated our repository from 1.3.2 to 9i.
    Index entries were created for both the Primary keys and Foreign keys.The indexes were created by us and not by designer.
    After migration to 9i the index entries for primary and Foreign are missing in the design editor.When we generate a table we get an error because these index entries are missing.
    Does designer 9i support index entries?Or How are indexes handled by designer 9i?

    To clarify, your index entries were in the database but NOT defined in Des 1.3.2 model? Because if they were in the model, then I'd look back at your intermediate migration definitions to make sure the indexes were still defined properly in there.
    In Des 2.1/6.0/6i/9i/10g, Indexes are a separate sub-element (SACs) for a Table Definition. They don't have to be associated with a key structure. And in newer database versions, a PK / UK has an implicit index constructed for it in the database, so Designer doesn't bother showing you the Index in the model. Just the PK or UK itself (again, these are also separate SACs).
    And it's not clear where you're getting the error. During the generate? Or during the instantiation into a database? Neither situation is a common fault.

  • AddressBook groups lost after migration to iCloud

    Hey everyone, just to share the solution with you.
    If bought my wife an iPad2 2 weeks ago and in order to allow for a smooth transition I upgraded her MacBook a week earlier to Mac OS X Lion and set up her iCloud account, i.e. I migrated her Mobile Me account to iCloud.
    However, during the migration (Mac MobileMe > iCloud) her AddressBook lost all Groups (I checked this with the corresponding date of out Time Capsule backup). Any attempt to restore the backup and sync the contacts again does not restore the groups. After some reading on the Apple Support Communities and on other sides here's the solution.
    Note: I assume you use Time Capsule and your backup is properly working.
    1. In case you've changed/added addresses create a back-up of all contacts:
        - On the Mac user AddressBook make sure you have "All Contacts" selected, then click on one contact ans select all by CMD-A
        - export all contacts by FILE > EXPORT ... > EXPORT vCard ... and save the file on your Mac (don't worry about duplication - we merge the contacts later)
    2. Now switch of iCloud sync for Contacts on all devices
        - Mac: Open System Preferences > iCloud > untag Contacts and delete data on your Mac
        - iOS 5 devices: System Preferences (Settings) > iCloud > Contacts OFF and delete data on your iOS 5 device
        - Rem: you have to do this on all devices you sync with your iCloud account
    3. Open your account on www.icloud.com and delete all contacts
    NOW all should be clean!
    4. Do a full restore of the AddressBook data from your Time Capsule backup. In order to to this you need to open the Library folder of your account on the Mac. Since the advent of Mac OS X Lion this folder is hidden. However you can easily open it by CMD-Shift-G and type in "~/Library/". Then go to the folder "Application Support" and leave the "AddressBook" folder selected (blue background).
    5. Open Time Capsule and go back to the date when the AddressBook still contained all groups. Then restore the entire folder "AddressBook". Time Capsule will ask you if the existing folder should be "Replace"d. Confirm "Replace" and your AddressBook is (Tip: If you do not know the date, Leave AddressBook' group view active and open TimeCapsule and while moving back in time you'll see the groups re-appear at the appropriate date).
    6. Now import the earlier vCard backup into Address Book (in case you've added, changed contacts)
    NOW your Mac AddressBook should be up to date, including Groups.
    7. Connect one of your iOS5 devices via USB cable to your Mac and open iTunes.  Click on the name of your device under DEVICES.
    8. Click on "Info" on the top row menu in iTunes. Tag the option "Sync Address Book Contacts" and press the button "Sync".
    9. After the Sync eject the iOS 5 device from your Mac
    Now your iOS 5 device is updated with all contacts and groups. (check if you want)
    10. on your iOS 5 device open SETTINGS > MAIL, CONTACTS, CALENDAR and choose "iCloud". Switch Contacts ON.
    11. Check your iCloud account on www.icloud.com if all contacts and groups are properly restored.
    Now your iCloud is updated and we can execute the final step.
    12. On your Mac: Open System Preferences > iCloud and switch Contacts ON and/or tag Contacts.
    13. In your Mac AddressBook> Check (this may take some minutes) if all contacts and groups are properly sync'ed.
    DONE!

  • Contacts on iPhone and iPad not connecting to iCloud

    Just set up iCloud today to sync Contacts between MacBook, iPhone, and iPad.  Initial setup worked ok.  Now, MacBooks is working OK, but iPhone and iPad cannot connect to server.  Open Contacts app and icon on status bar at top of screen just spins (for hours).  Have tried to disable Contacts sync on iPhone, but but same behavior.  Have tried to delete iCloud account on iPad...same.  Have rebooted both devices...same.  Any suggestions?

    iCloud won't sync Gmail contacts, it will only sync iCloud contacts.  If he wants to use Gmail for contacts, he should add his Gmail account to his Mac too.  If all of the contacts on his phone are not appearing on his Mac after doing this, then some of them must not belong to the Gmail account and would need to be added to his Gmail contacts.
    If he wants to use iCloud to sync his Gmail contacts instead, he can copy all of his contacts to iCloud as follows:
    Go to Settings>iCloud on the phone, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer you will need the “Pro” version.)  Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from Gmail and any other non-iCloud accounts) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and set this to iCloud.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap Gmail and any other non-iCloud accounts and turn off contacts syncing with these accounts (otherwise you will see duplicate contacts on your device).
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the other accounts back to your device, and to iCloud.

  • Why does iCal ask me to login to MobileMe after migration to iCloud?

    Ever since the migration to iCloud, my iCal account asks me to login to MobileMe.  I go to MobileMe on the web and obviously it says that I successfully migrated to iCloud.  Sadly my calendar doesn't seem to think so.  Has anyone expiriences this problem?  More importantly, has anyone solved it?

    I've been having this happen as well, ever since the last update. When you download podcasts everyday, it is really annoying. Hope we can get an answer.

  • Mail contacts calendars missing in settings after 3.0

    After I upgraded to the 3.0 firmware, the mail contacts calendars section under settings is missing completely. Anyone experienced this or know of a fix short of wiping the phone?

    I can confirm that what /Esnes/ suggested fixed the problem of having no Mail, Contacts, Calendars option in Settings.
    I wonder what other options are m.i.a. due to apps being 'hidden' or 'tucked away' in a 'folder'? Has me curious.
    Thanks, /Esnes/! No idea why contacts are sorted by Last, First by default... maddening!
