Hi, so the world has not ended but most of my contacts still don't synch to iCloud! Why?!

I want to activate my new iPhone 5, but am trying to backup iPhone contacts beforehand. Activated iCloud but only a few (of my many) contacts synch to it. Any ideas why? I have now saved contacts using 'My Contacts Backup App' (after reading that tip here!) into my Gmail contacts. Hope I can import them to new phone with this App or via Gmail... Has anyone else already done that? Also, I would still like to synch all contacts via iCloud on the new iPhone in future. Any tips? (P.S. Don't have a Mac) Would appreciate any tips. Thanks.

Thank you - I thought that might be the case BUT why doesn't the music play that I have bought from itunes - do you happen to know please.
All that happens is it just flicks through it all and won't play any of it???
As in I select the song and it just flicks back one screen (if I am making sense).....
I am really stuck and cannot work out what's gone wrong that's all.
Considering a reset of my new iphone and trying again but done that once and it's still the same.

    Hi Shero89,
    Thanks for the answer.  I am not new to IOS software but I don't really ever bother with it, have discovered how little I take advantage of the i-phones capability, in reality I still only really use it to phone, text, check emails, listen to music and look on internet.  I'm not keen on jailbreaking it as I don't trust it to work so normally just update and leave it at that.  Only reason I wanted to downgrade was because the update had stopped my bluetooth working but Kilted Tim solved that problem for me so am now not interested in downgrading software.  I quite liked the things that IOS 5.1 gave me but wasn't happy with fact that bluetooth stopped working in car as it caused me problems.  One day I might try and work out exactly what I-phones can do but on the basis that it's a phone all I really want it to do is phone, if that bit works I'm happy.

    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and find out if it is covered by the warranty. Sometimes/frequenlty your damage is cased by abuse.operator error/accidental damage which is not covered by the warranty.

    If not covered by warranty:
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $88 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

  • HT5085 I have recieved a message which states thaat the ipad has not been backed up for 22 weeks, and when I am in icloud I still cannot manage to back it up.

    I do not know how to back up my ipad to icloud.  How do you do it

    Use iTunes. If you connect to your computer, open iTunes, select your device, then check the box to backup to either iCloud or your computer. Then either click Backup Now button or sync with iTunes.

    Question
    When trying to create a desktop icon, it does not go to the URL.....instead I get 'script' and not a website......the script has http//etc but I am not directed to the website......I previously had IE 8 (on Vista).....is that the problem?I do not have any installed plugins....at least none that I know of.....remember I am a new user......Basically, the desktop icon is not going directly to the Mozilla FF to get me to the web site I need to go to.....FF works when I use the Mozilla FF icon.....just not the icons I create.....THANKS!!! I have also tried reinstalling FF and get the same results.....HELP!!!

    The address beginning with file:/// denotes a saved file (local file). The file may not be present. You can try dragging the site icon of this page on the left edge of the location (Address) bar and release it on the desktop. Please try opening it. If it still shows an error it could be a problem with the system's zone permissions. You can try setting each zone in the Windows Control Panel or IE > '''Internet Options''' > '''Security''' tab to '''Default Level'''.

    You will need to talk to Apple, they would be the only ones who can tell you. We are just a user to user forum here.

  • On Word I was copying a sentence, but the command has not been executed and the timer is constantly circling. It has been circling for over 10 minues. How do I get out of this?

    On Word I was copying a sentence, but the command has not executed and the timing cursor has been circling for over 10 minutes. How do I get out of this?

    You probably will need to force-quit Word. Go to the Apple menu, choose "Force Quit", locate and select Word in the list of applications and click the "Force Quit" button. You will of course most likely lose any changes you made to the document since you last saved it (or it was auto-saved, if you have that option turned on in Word).
    Regards.

  • HT204053 I have put new music on my iTunes folder on my apple desktop. I have iTunes Match but the music has not shown up on my iPhone. How do I get my music to get on my phone. My iCloud is on on the desktop and iphone

    I have put new music on my iTunes folder on my apple desktop. I have iTunes Match but the music has not shown up on my iPhone. My iCloud is turned on. All my music initially did go to my iPhone

    Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.  iTunes Match is a different service from iCloud.

  • Hi,  I trimmed an audio regin in the audio track edior with "Snap Edits to Zero Crossings" on. But I zoom in.the waveform was not ended at Zero point. Why?  In the audio file editork, "Snap Edits to Zero Crossings" option works fine.

    Hi,
    I trimmed an audio regin in the audio track edior with "Snap Edits to Zero Crossings" on.
    But I zoom in、the waveform was not ended at Zero point.
    Why?

    correction needs to be made to step #14, I typed:
    14) Point to the start or end one of the clips, when you see the icon showing arrows going either way, right click and drag your clips to roughly match up with the timeline selection, then zoom in further and adjust the clip start and end points to match up exactly with the timeline selection start and endpoints.
    Here is the correction, THE CORRECTED PARTS ARE CAPITALIZED:
    14) Point to the start or end OF one of the clips, when you see the icon showing arrows going either way, LEFT-CLICK and drag your clips to roughly match up with the timeline selection, then zoom in further and adjust the clip start and end points to match up exactly with the timeline selection's start and end points.
    Another Correction:
    Originally read:
    Addendum: IF you have 2 files selected and click "Edit" to go to Edit view, it will give you the file of the clip you selected first, not 2nd. You must then go back to MT view, de-select the clip you selected first, then de-select the clip you want to edit, then RE-select the clip you want to edit.

  • Snow Leopard 10.6.3 upgrade issues..  I run the full install and my computer restarts to complete the installation, but when it restarts the software has not upgraded.  Any suggestions?

    I've tried to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.3.  I run the full install and my computer restarts to complete the installation, but when it restarts the software has not upgraded.  Any suggestions?

    Are you booting from the retail disc to do the installation, or running it while booted from Macintosh HD?
    It should work either way, but it doesn't always work when booted from Macintosh HD. The system files are supposed to be moved into place during the restart (while the HD is unmounted) making for a long restart time which sometimes causes people to think somethings wrong and abort it. Which is a bad move.
    If you're booting from the retail disc it's less obvious what the problem may be; however if you've tried it from booted from the HD and it's failed, then tried booting from the disc, it will fail again because the system components are already on the HD in a disc image waiting to be moved into place.
    Whichever way you were tryig, I'd try downloading OmnDiskSweeper (it's free)  and using it to see if there's a large package (around 7-10 GB) lurking somewhere that may contain the installer files. If you do, you'll need to trash that before the installer will see a 'clean' system again.
    It's also worth asking how much free space you have on your HD - if there's not enough for the installer to use for the temporary package or dmg, it'll fail.
    Was there no warning dialogue after the unsuccessful install?

    when I upload photos, some of the images do not show, but appear as a dotted square. has anyone had this problem?

    Hi Terence, When I am uploading photos from a memory card,not all of the photos show up on I photo as a photo image, but show up as a dotted square line. For example, I just added 12 photo from two days. The first day had 5 photos, but only 4 show up as images, then there is 1 as dotted  a square. The next day, there 7 images, with only 4 showing up as photos, and three as the dotted squares.
    I am using I photo 11, 9.1.1.
    Thank you
