Contacts on Iphone wont upload to iCloud.

Hi,
anybody out there that can help me please.
When I add new contacts onto my Iphone 5s they dont upload to Icloud. Works fine the other way around, if i add a new contact on my Imac they download to my Iphone just fine.
I have tried already, turning off Icloud sync and turning back on. Also tried the usual turning phone off and back on again.
Hope someone has some ideas, many thanks

IPhone photos uploaded to iCloud photos on PC

iCloud is working for taking pics on iPhone and appearing on icloud on PC. However, when I try to complete an Etsy form for a new listing a problem occurs. When I click on the "photo" section of the Etsy form and then click on iCloud pics on PC pictures menu, nothing happens. Icloud photos do not appear for me to select desired ones for Etsy photos. However, iCloud pics are definitely on my Windows 7 PC. Can anyone help?

An .ithmb file is the format used to store pictures on an iPod. There are several applications that can open .ithmb files such as File Juicer and Keith's iPod Photo Reader

HT4910 Export old iphone 3 contacts to PC and upload to icloud or new iphone 4

So i cannot utilize itunes successfully to import contacts from my old Iphone 3 and export to new iphone 4. I tried backup of the iphone 3 then restore from backup to my new iphone 4.
I tried using export windows address through itunes and it was successful as a group but not in a format icloud can import. If i select vCard it is one item at a time. UGH!
So i downloaded a program that worked but only allows 20 contacts. I have MANY more...
ANyone have any ideas?

I used iPhone Contacts Backup to download my iPhone contacts directly to my PC and store them for backup.
I have an older iPhone 3G and unfortunately could not use the iCloud as a method for backup.

Backing up contacts from iphone 5s to laptop / icloud

Hi
I am desperately trying to back up my contacts from my iphone to my laptop & / Or icloud.
On my phone most of the contacts comefrom my live.com (outlook) email account - hoever when I go into live.com my contacts arent there. I was told to pull the contacts of live.com into an CSV file and then upload to cloud but on Live.com the only contacts are my linkedin contacts not the actual phone contacts
This is really becoming an issue and all the advice points towards getting the contacts from the relevant email accounts but that is proving impossible
SO i wondered if there was another way of pulling the information directly from the iphone (like in the good old days on Nokia!)
Please help!
HH

Hi head-hurtz!
If your contacts are stored on iCloud, you can export them in vCard format directly from the iCloud website to achieve this goal:

Hi there, my photos from Iphone wont upload onto Macbook Air Iphoto. It says it's loading but never does, Anyone have a solution?

hi there, I am trying to upload my photos from my Iphone 5s to my Iphoto on my macbook air, but they wont load. \
It says "loading" but it's not.... does anyone have a solution? Thanks in advance.

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

IPhone wont sync with iCloud???

Hi all....Can anyone help???
I have set up iCloud and it seems to work fine EXCEPT for the fact that I cannot get it Outlook to sync with my iphone? I am using Outlook 2010 Pro...and iphone 5s.
If I make a change on my phone calendar it does not sync the new event? If I make a change in Outlook on my PC, it does not sync to the phone.
Heres the twist....Changes, additions or deletion of CONTACTS either from my phone or my PC, work PERFECTLY.
I had the cloud page open in one window and outlook in another. I made a Contact change in outlook and watched the change take effect in the cloud within a few seconds. Also I made a change to CONTACTS on my phone and also within seconds the change happened in the cloud and in outlook just like it should....
ITS ONLY CALENDAR changes that dont work?
Can someone help?
Thanks

Hey there smginoz,
It sounds like your iCloud calendar is not syncing to Outlook and neither is your Outlook syncing to iCloud. I would use the Outlook troubleshooting from the following article to help you resolve the issue:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3999
Troubleshooting on Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Outlook)
If you're having trouble with iCloud Calendar on a PC (with Outlook 2007 or later), try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved.
Note: iCloud Control Panel does not support Outlook 2010 Personal Edition. When using iCloud Control Panel 2.0 and later, iCloud Calendar event descriptions in Outlook 2010 do not support text formatting (bold, italics, or underline), HTML, images, or attachments. The contextual menu (right-click) has also been disabled.
Verify that you are using a Windows configuration supported by iCloud.
Make sure that your computer is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in Outlook. Learn about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
Open a secure website to test if ports 80 and 443 are accessible. Outlook requires port 443 access to iCloud to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Calendar servers.
Verify that your iCloud member name is entered into the iCloud Control Panel window. Learn about setting up iCloud on Windows.
Close and reopen the iCloud Control Panel.
Make sure that iCloud is not your default account in Outlook:
In Outlook 2013 and 2010, select File > Info > Account Settings > Data Files. If iCloud is listed as the default account in the Comments column, select a different account and click Set as Default.
In Outlook 2007, select File > Data File Management > Data Files. If iCloud is listed as the default account in the Comments column, select a different account and click Set as Default.
If you recently made changes in Outlook and they are not updating on your other devices or vice versa, click the Refresh button in Outlook.
If needed, there are additional steps to try within the article.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

More than 1 phone # for a contact in iphone wont sync to outlook

When I add more than one phone # for a contact directly to the iphone, and then sync it to outlook, it will never sync all the numbers I added to the contact, it will sync just the first one added. Anybody with this issue? Its really annoying having to type all the phone #s for a contact in the iphone and then again to outlook.

Good luck getting a response on that question. I have the exact same problem, nobody will help me with it. You should return your iPhone and get an android, at least then you might get some tech support, and don't have to bother with iTunes.
Spent all day on it there last week, and got nowhere. Uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times. Did all kinds of stuff, it was all a hassle. Lots of people have the same problem, Apple won't help you fix it.

Songs wont upload to icloud, keeps repeating step 1 and 2.

When I add new songs to iTunes, Match starts it's process of going through my library, then matching my music, but when it gets to step 3 where it should start uploading my new songs, it stops and goes back to step 1. Very frustrating.

Hi,
See my reply in match forum.

I don't have icloud on my mac, how can I update contacts onto iphone

I don't have icloud on my mac, how can I update contacts onto iphone, that does have icloud?

If your contacts are correct and up-to-date on the Mac, check out the basic syncing article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
just go to the 'info' tab after selecting the device in iTunes and sync from there.
Good luck

Can't synch Notes or Contacts from iPhone 3GS after upgrade to iOS5

After I upgraded to iOS5 on my iPhone 3GS, I no longer can synch Notes and Contacts from iPhone to Outlook or iCloud. Calendar synchs OK.

After 2 hours with Apple Support, which was great, we figured out the issue. 1-800-my-iphone. When I upgraded to iOS5 and started using the iCloud, I was unaware that my previous synching settings were still set to Yahoo.com where I had been sycning wirelessly in the past. So the Apple support tech showed me that I had multiple accounts in both Notes and Contacts. I had iPhone, iCloud, yahoo, Outlook accounts and my default settings on the iphone should have all been set to icloud. Syching was occuring, but not in icloud. It took a little manual conversion of some Notes and Contacts into the icloud folders in Outlook, but now everything works and I only display and use the iCloud accounts in Notes and Contacts. Apple realizes that this is an issue for those of us that were previously using Yahoo and equivalents for wireless synching and they provded my support free. Usually they charge $27. All is well.

I have an Iphone 3 and wish to upload my Icloud contacts onto the devise. Being that the Iphone 3 can not download IOS 5, I have to figure out another way of uploading my Icloud contacts onto my Iphone 3. Any suggestions?

If you have a Mac with OS X Lion or a PC with Outlook 2007 or 2010 synced with iCloud, you can. Connect your iPhone to the computer and sync it

You can change the default account to iCloud in the Notes settings. This way everytime you make a note it will automatically be in the iCloud folder. Now all I need to do is copy and paste my old notes into new iCloud ones

How do I do that I despreatly need help!!!

To migrate your phone to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep on the phone, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; your other devices won't be effected by this), provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone (if using iOS 7) and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted . Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data to the new account.
