Getting all contacts into icloud

How do I get "All Contacts" that are on my iPhone 4 over to my iCloud.com account?  The group "All iCloud" on my phone  has many less contacts than the All Contacts.  I'm concerned that if I lose my phone or the data gets corrupted, I'll lose all the extra contacts.  I don't have an Outlook account, but that seems to be the only type of account you can sync with.
Thanks, Ron

Winston Churchill's solution looks promising, but seeing your experience I'm reluctant to try it. Can anyone tell us how to merge the contents of "All Contacts" on the iPhone (a non-iCloud group) with one of the iCloud groups? (I have a couple; do not remember how they got put into iCloud while several other groups on the phone, including the big "All Contacts", did not.
I apologize for my ignorance. I'll be grateful for guidance.

  • HT1296 How do I get iPhone contacts into iCloud

    I have 213 contacts on my phone that I scanned in using ScanBizCards app.  Unknowingling, I had my settings set to Default Account On My Phone instead of iCloud. 
    How do I get the 213 contacts off my phone into iCloud? 
    When I go into info via iTunes, it says contacts are syncing over iCloud, but it is not picking up the 213 that were just scanned in.... HELP?  I don't want to have to add them one by one.

    Hey jjwilson98,
    The easiest way is to turn off the contacts in iCloud section in settings. Remember to keep data. After that it is turned off, just turn it back on to merge data and you will be set.

  • All contacts into iCloud?

    When I enter new contacts on my iPhone, they don't sync back to iCloud.  So there are many contacts on my phone that aren't backed-up in iCloud.  How can I correct this?

    Hi brian,
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts off. When it asks if you want to keep the contacts on your device, click on "Keep on My Phone". Then turn Contact back on. When it asks if you want to merge your iPhone contacts, click on Merge.
    See if that gets them in sync.
    Cheers,

  • How do I get all contacts from my iphone 4 to icloud?

    how do I get all contacts from my iphone 4 to icloud? I've just got some of them.

    All you have to do is enable iCloud on your phone and turn notes on.  They should automatically appear on your phone.

  • How do i get my contacts from ICLOUD over to sync with Mobile me?

    All of my contacts are in ICLOUD on my mobile device. But my IMAC only Syncs with Mobile me. How do I get my contacts from ICLOUD over to sync with Mobile me?

    Well, you can go into setting>mail, contacts, calendars>add new account or through iTunes you can plug your phone into your computer, open iTunes, select your device, then select info. I hope this helps. Au revoir!

  • I've just purchased an ipad2 and have synced it with outlook to get all contacts.  I've also set up my earthlink mail account and it sends/receives fine.  IS there a way to sync it so I get all of the legacy emails sitting in the OUtlook inbox?

    I've just purchased an ipad2 and have synced it with Outlook to get all contacts, etc.  I've set up the mail account and it is working just fine.  The sync doesn't pull over legacy emails from Outlook and my Outlook has been set up to remove them from the webmail server therefore they aren't available from webmail anymore.  Is there anyway to pull them over to the iPad? 

    But is there a way (simple or not-so-simple) to find
    out EVERY SINGLE FILE that's referenced on a
    timeline? (I have lots of stuff imported into the
    project that I know isn't used on any timeline, but
    I'm afraid of moving or deleting things for fear of
    never finding it again.)
    I'd love to get some sort of "printout" (a list or
    something) of every single file.
    There is, go to browser and cntrl click on any one of the columns,
    and select - show/source. A new column named "source" will pop up and will show where everything "lives". Click on the header at the top and it will justify the column as well. You'll notice this won't show anything for your seq.'s. of course, but will show stills/audio/motion files...
    Once you have the new column, you can drag it next to the "name" column and get a grab of it and print it if you like, or whatever.
    If you want to do this for just 1 seq., then can create a new bin and double click it to open it. Cntrl-A (select all) in your main seq. and just drag all into the new bin. You will see only what's in that seq. with the "source" column right next to it.
    From what I've read, you seem to get the MM thing and it's obviously what you'll need to do to archive as the guys said. But what your missing is a file path system to where everything resides.
    Hope this helps and that I've read you properly,
    Peace

  • How do you get your contacts into groups?

    how do you get your contacts into groups?

    When you ask a question, please include the version of Mac OS X on your computer. iOS is not a Mac operating system.
    Assuming you are running OS 10.9.1:
    Open Contacts. Click File in the menu bar and select New Group. Enter the name of the group in Contacts on the left.
    Go back to All Contacts (on the left) then drag and drop the names you want in that group on to the folder you just named.
    Repeat as necessary for other groups.
    Note that the names remain, as they should, in All Contacts, even after you have added them to a group.. You can delete a group if you want. The names will still remain in All Contacts.

  • HT204150 i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad?

    i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad? I have switched my iphone to airplane mode so it is not connected to the internet and so icloud can not wipe it at the moment.
    thanks roy

    There's a menu choice (I think under "Files") that lets you sync purchased items on a device back to itunes.  Look for that.
    iCloud does not store music.  If you want to do that you'd have to subscribe to itunes Match, but to get music to the match servers, you need the music in the itunes library on your computer.

  • Getting all contact person names through XL Reporter

    Hi All,
    I am trying to get a list of all contact persons associated with a business partner.
    I am having difficulty to pull all contact persons associated with a business partner. I am trying to get this information through the Report composer of XL Reporter.
    When I drop the Business Partner and Contact Person dimensions from Business Partner tab into Report Composer and run the report, I only get Business Partner and just one contact person(the first contact person created for that BP).
    I am trying to get all contact persons associated with that business partner. Is there something I am missing or is this the issue with XL Reporter.
    Please let me know. Than you for your input.
    Regards,
    Payal

    Hi Gordon,
    Thank you very much. Yes, I know a query will work.
    But, the customer is more inclined to get this information via XL Reporter. I just wanted to check if it is possible to achieve via XL Reporter and that I am missing anything.
    Thank you,
    Payal

  • Why does my mrs phone keep getting my contacts from iCloud and more importantly how do i stop it!?

    Hey guys an gals sorry if this has been asked 100's times before but...
    Why does my mrs phone keep getting my contacts from iCloud and more importantly how do i stop it!?
    Thanks for your help :-)

    Thanks for you reply, she already has her own account and wants to back her own contacts up to the cloud, we have tried turning both contacts off in icloud settings, also deleting from phone when prompted, then, we also deleted all her icloud backups to start a fresh. However soon as she turns contacts back on.. Bam they re appear. We also have ipad in the mix so we did the same to that, turned off and deleted contacts on there also to no avail. Somehow they are linked to my acount just cant work out how or where?

  • HT1473 When downloading a CD album, if it contains different artists, the album is split up into separate albums/icons. How do I get all songs into one album (just like the original CD)?

    When downloading a CD album, if it contains different artists, the album is split up into separate albums/icons. How do I get all songs into one album (just like the original CD)?

    Generally, in iTunes, all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist to keep things together. For older iPods each track from the same album should have the same artist, or be marked as a compilation where appropriate. For iOS devices you may need to go to Settings > Music > Group By Album Artist > On.
    For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • How do it get my contacts into the cloud contacts for siri to recognize

    I've looked through the Siri help stuff, and there' slots of things that tell me to put my info/contact into Siri at Settings / Siri / My Info.  Great, but when I select that, I get an "All icloud" contact list.  Since I have mself, wife, colleagues already in my contacts (MS Exchange) already -- how do I simply "copy" them into the icloud contact group????  I certainly don't want ot have to re-enter them twice. Also, I'm on a PC, is there no web interface from my PC to my icloud account?  Any help greatly appreciated -- I'm obviously on the new 4S ...

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you deleted your contacts from your contacts app, they will also be deleted in iCloud.
    However if you deleted your account or simply turned contacts syncing off, you should be able to log back into your account or re-enable contacts syncing and they would repopulate your contacts app.
    Could you perhaps tell us which of these you have done.
