How do I get my contacts on my imac to show up in iCloud?

I just upgraded to Lion. I have a 2008 imac. My contacts on my computer have not synced with icloud.com. Also, when I add contacts via the webstie, they show up as a different group in address book on my computer. Preferrably, I'd like all my contacts to be under one header on my computer. Am I missing something?
Thanks

The group that syncs with iCloud is the one labelled ICLOUD or your iCloud user name.
Contacts under the ON MY MAC group only exist on your Mac. You can drag and drop contacts from the ON MY MAC group to the iCloud group to make them sync with iCloud.

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...

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?

Don't see photos from icloud. Replaced broken 4s w/new phone. Help! How do I get photos back? They don't show up on icloud online but phone says broken phone was backed up yesterday under manage storage. How do I use this backup?

Please help. Replaced broken phone w/new 4s. I did as the genius bar guy said and did reset>erase all content and settings at home because he said it would take too long in the store. Last time I had to replace my phone, all the photos and video were there. Now they're not. I had set up icloud but when i typed in "my restore from icloud", nothing came up. I NEED those pictures and videos. They're the last photos and videos I have of my mother who passed away recently. Please I need them back. I feel like I've lost her all over again. Please someone help. I went to icloud>storage & backup>manage storage and i see that those pictures were backed up yesterday yet I don't see any pictures or picture icon in icloud.com. Please someone help me get those pictures back. They're priceless and they're the last I have left of my mother.

If this is your first sync and there is already data on the phone, perform the steps listed below. This will transfer your apps and other media purchased from the iTunes store to your iTunes library, perform a manual backup and restore, then sync the iTunes media back to the phone from your iTunes library. This will not transfer media from other sources such as music from your ripped CDs. As you said you never synced before, I assume all of your apps, music and other media was purchased from the iTuens and App stores. If this is correct, you won't lose anything.
Download and install iTunes: http://www.apple.com/itunes/.
Launch iTunes, go to the View menu and click to check Show Sidebar.
Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices (Edit>Preferences>Devices if using Windows) and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
Go to Store>Authorize This Computer and authorize all Apple IDs used to purchase apps and other iTunes media (music, podcasts, movies, tv shows, etc.) on your phone.
On her phone, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and turn iCloud Backup to Off.
Connect her phone to your computer and in iTunes go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer your purchased media to your iTunes library.
Right-click on the name of the phone on the left side of iTunes and click "Reset Warnings".
Right-click on the name of the phone again and click "Back Up" to back up the phone.
Right-click again and choose "Restore from Backup...", select the backup you just made to restore from and restore the backup to your phone. If prompted to back up again, decline.
Go to the Info tab and make sure nothing is checked so you aren't syncing calendars, contacts, etc. with iTunes.
Go to the Summary tab and select This Computer under Automatically Back Up.
Check the other tabs to confirm that your sync settings are the way you want them.
Click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.

How do i get my contacts back? they have just dissapeared?!

how do i get my contacts back, i just looked at my phone, didnt touch anything and they had just dussapeared! i didnt have a single one left and i dont have a clue how to get them back?!

Hi sfuentes,
You need to check iCloud to see if they are actually there. Go to iCloud.com and sign in and then look at your Contacts there to see if the old ones are still showing on iCloud.
If they are not, then you can either re-enter them while you are on iCloud.com, or you can restore your device from the backup where you saved them:

How do I get my contacts back on my phone I update it now they are missing

How do I get my contacts back on my phone I update it now they are missing

I just lost all contacts. I tried the backups but as soon as restore was completed, it would lose notes again. I disconnected after recover but still no notes.
Out of desperation, as I have all my passwords etc on it (yes, I know) but I trusted the iTunes backup system. I looked on the net and found a recovery company called Wondershare, Dr Phone. I tested it and there it all was, but it has now cost me $69 to purchase key number to download my info.
All contacts info and everything else is available. It saves it in a file which you open.
Now I have to type it all in again. I will keep manual backups now as well as using Dropbox from now on. Nightmare. I hope this helps you all.

I suppose you have/had them on your iPhone, but do not have your iPhone with you now.
Did you ever sync the iPhone with iTunes, did you ever backed up the iPhone to iCloud?
