How can I get my contacts from Address book on my computer to iCloud?

I recently updated my IOS on my iPhone and my iPad and, of course, lost all my contacts. I've followed the directions for enabling iCloud; however, my contacts are not being sent to iCloud. I checked my Settings on my phone, Info in iTunes, and Accounts in Contacts. Anyone know how I might resolve this?

You can't. iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
What is backed up
You get unlimited free storage for:
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
Visual Voicemails
But not from a Mac. If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use it with Time Machine.

HT4910 how can I import my contacts from my Iphone 5 device to the Icloud?

how can I import my contacts from my Iphone 5 device to the Icloud?

To get the contacts from your Hotmail and exchange accounts into iCloud, do the following:
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone 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 from your external accounts you will need the “Pro” version.) Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone 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 your Hotmail and exchange accounts and turn off contacts syncing with with these accounts. If you don't you will see duplicates of your contacts (one from the external account and one from iCloud).
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the external accounts back to your phone, and to iCloud. Go to icloud.com to confirm they are there.

If you have your iPhone synced to iClpud and then turn your iCloud syncing off, you won'thave your iCloud contacts on your iphone... to get them back, just turn iCloud syncing back on...
[When you're working with iCloud, keep in mind that the main source of the informatin being sync'd to your devices is in iCloud, not on any of the devices or on your computer. ]

Yes if you have been backing up using Time Machine it should be pretty simple. If you haven't been backing up then they're gone.

How can i get my contacts from textfree app if ipod wont turn on

Can i get my contacts from textfree app on my pc if ipod wont turn on?

If iTunes does not see the iPod then:
- See if you can extrac themn from an existing backup
iPhone Backup Extractor for Windows and Mac
- Restore an iPod 2G or later, iPhone 3G or later or an iPod from existing biPod backup. The apps have to be in the iTunes library in order to have a place for the app data to go.

How can I get my contact from my iphone to outlook 2007? I only get one contact.

I have been everywhere and can not find helpful information. I had to replace the harddrive on my computer and I can not get the contact from my phone to outlook. The only one that will transfer is a new on that I just added.

Is your new phone another iPhone?
If so, just sync them via iTunes from the contact manager you were syncing your old iPhone to.

How can i get my contacts from itunes to my phone if my usb slot on my laptop is broke?

basically im looking to get my contacts from my itunes on my old laptop onto my new phone but the usb slot on the laptop is broke so i cant connect to itunes is there any way to get the contacts without connecting the phone to the laptop or is there another way to connect the phone to the laptop??

Hello Joe,
Congratulations on your new iPhone 5! If you do not have a working USB connection on your laptop, you can use iCloud to transfer contacts from your computer to your iPhone:
You can create and edit your contacts by using the Contacts app on iCloud.com from a Mac or Windows web browser. Changes you make are automatically pushed to your iOS devices and computers where you set up iCloud for Contacts. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, changes are pushed to the Contacts app. On your Mac, changes are pushed to Contacts (or Address Book in OS X v10.7.5), and on your Windows computer, changes are pushed to Microsoft Outlook. No matter which device you use to edit your contacts, the changes are updated everywhere, so you never have to connect your iOS device to your computer to keep your contacts current.
Access iCloud Contacts from a web browser
Go to icloud.com/#contacts and sign in using your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).
You can find more information about iCloud and Contacts at the following help article:
iCloud Help - Contacts overview

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

HT1296 How can I get my contacts from my iPhone even though I don't have it ?

I'm trying to get my contacts from my iPhone but I don't have my iPhone with me

It might take a bit longer, but it's risk free:
Use your iMac to send your contacts in an email to yourself
Open them using your iphone.
They should arrive as vcf format and you click to open it and hey presto!
Also works the other way round, so when I receive an email from a new contact, I register it on my iphone and click on "share contact", sending it to me which I then open on my Powerbook.
Helpful?

How can I get smart group in address book to email?

Hi
I'm trying to send an email out to a smart group I created which has about 150 members. I right click send email while in the address book. The group ends up in the 'To:' field. I do a 'cmd A' to select all and move them to the 'bcc' field. I put my email address in the 'To' field. I create the subject line and body text which containes a url and an image with a url link.
When I press send it immediately moves to my outbox and sits there with no activity showing in the MAIL ACTIVITY preview pane.... I've left it for quite a while thinking it might take a while but nothing changes.
When I send it to my self only it works. I've tried taking a smaller group last names A-C 30 recipients and it does the same thing.
Would appreciate some help if you have had the same problem or maybe know what I've done wrong. Oh, I've also tried it sending it out on me.com and shaw.ca email accounts...
Thanks

If you want to "send an email" to the group, you need to get the group into your email client's Contacts first...

*See emphasis below* -
Importing and exporting vCards
A vCard, or "virtual address card," is a standard method of exchanging data between applications. Address Book can create and read vCards, so if you have another application that also works with the vCard format, you can import or export addresses as vCards.
Also, you can send your own card to other people in vCard format. They can use the vCard to add your information to their address books.
You can also use vCards to add addresses to the Contacts list on your iPod.
To create a vCard, drag an address card out of the Address Book window.
To add someone else's vCard to your address book, drag it into the Address Book window.
To create a single vCard with multiple entries, drag more than one card out of the Address Book window.
To create multiple vCards at the same time, hold the Option key when dragging multiple cards out of the Address Book window.
You can also work with vCards using commands in the File menu.
Address Book also supports Lightweight Directory Interchange Format (LDIF). LDIF is an ASCII file format used to exchange information and enable synchronization of that information between Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) servers. You can't export information from Address Book in LDIF format; you can only import it. Address Book can import and export vCards.
To determine the format of a document, select the document and choose File > Get Info. The format, or kind of document, is listed at the top.
If another application won't accept vCards in the default 3.0 format, try changing the format to 2.1 in the vCard pane of Address Book Preferences, and send the vCard again.
