How do I replace the icloud contact list with the one on my mac?

The contact list on my icloud account has too many duplications. How do I replace it with the one on my mac (which is cleaned up?)

can you open windows for each set of files, next to eachother on your desktop? If so, bring the files from the transfer into the window for the present computer- taking them out of the imported file...
try that and report back

Anyway to reset/reload the iCloud Contact list from a good know source (one way synch, from an iOS device to iCloud)?

Is there anyway to reset/load the iCloud Contact list form a good known source?
i.e. One way synch, from an iOS device to iCloud (The way we used to be able to do it with MobileMe)?
My current iCloud Contact list is messed up and I want to reset/reload it with a good know list from one of my iOS devices, but I can't find a way to do it, or at least it is not obviouse to me.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I agree ! Need to be able to flush out and reset what's in the Cloud easily/simply, then start a new sync from a known good source.
So far, not impressed (again) with Apple's syncing prowess...

If both computers are running Lion the easiest way would be to sign up for a free iCloud account and let Apple do it for you via the cloud.

I do not need anything to change on my email that is working fine on both.

gspielman,
Help has arrived to assist you with getting those contacts on both your devices. The Verizon cloud service is definitely a great tool to use and you can also use Apple iCloud as well. When you sign into the Verizon cloud on your iPad does it give an option or message to restore?

How do you delete an iCloud email associated with the primary account?

For instance, my @mac.com, me.com, and icloud.com are all the same address. Someone got ahold of my me.com and is spamming me. I want to delete that one but I can't. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Oh yes now!
Simply goto appleid.apple.com (sign in) and do it all by yourself.
This is not possible. [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected] are all the same thing, and you can't separate them.
The solution is to set up a Rule on the iCloud website redirecting all messages addressed to [email protected] to the Trash or another folder.

HT1692 Can I clear my contacts off y iphone, and then sync with iTunes and return them back to y iphone, my IPHONE keeps retaining nos that it shouldn't, I delete them off, during edit, and they just return and added to the new contact along with the new

I Really would like some help, this problem has been with me for a couple of months,
i seem to be having problems with my contacts.
WHen I edit a contact, and pop in a new contact number, and delete the old number. It looks like it has been done. when I go to write a message or go back into the contact, it has the old number there again, I have deleted off the computer contacts as everything is under I cloud anyway. It seems fine on my iMac, but still retains the old nos, and other info, mainly on my IPHONE. Would it be useful to take all contacts off my phone, and reinstall them from my iTunes, or back up of whatever.. I am a nana, so please. Be gentle with me..
Regards
Jan .

How can I sync my yahoo mail contact list with my ipad2?

How can I sync my yahoo contact list with my iPad 2?

Found the answer from another discussion here and it did work in about 2 minutes:
in settings, click mail, contacts , calendars
you need to add two accounts:
one for mail as a Yahoo account
another per the instructions below
Yahoo syncs contacts by adding a CardDAV account:
Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars
Tap Add Account
Tap Other and then tap Add CardDAV Account
For the Server you need to enter carddav.address.yahoo.com
Now type in the Yahoo! ID (full email address) and password you use to sign in to your Yahoo! Contacts
why not all in one? who knows!
Ps. You might have to do several tries with and without the .xxx extesion to the account name
Yahoo has multiples with att and all othr isp's

Gobal Address List with the Blackberry Curve on Enterprise Plan

How do you access the Gobal Address List with the Blackberry Curve (on Enterprise Plan) when forwarding or composing an email? If this can be done, what is the key sequence to accomplish this task?

The only way I know how to do it, is using the lookup option in your address book and then adding it to your address book. I've tried to do it from the email and it doesnt put the address in the to field.

How can I replace the current contacts list and put in my own

How can I replace the current contacts list and put in my own? My son's name and contact list appear, inadvertently loaded when he used the iPad. I have an iPad mini, fully updated to iOS 7.0.4.

He must have signed into his icloud account using your device. You need to disconnect the device from that account and then sign in using your account ID.
Go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account. Then log in using a different ID.

HT4910 My iCloud contact list does not contain all the contacts that are in my phone. If I delete one from my phone it will delete it instantly from the iCloud contacts. But how do I get all those other contacts on my phone to the iCould on my Windows c

My iCloud contact list does not contain all the contacts listed in my iPhone 5S. If I delete a contact from the phone it instantly deletes it from the iCloud on my PC. But my PC iCloud list is lacking many of the contacts on my phone.

And which account did you enter these contacts in?
On My Mac
or
iCloud?

HT5527 I did not move my Mobileme account to iCloud. How can I get off the iCloud mailing list?

I did not move my Mobileme account to iCloud. How can I get off the iCloud mailing list?

If you migrated your MobileMe account before 1 August you should have signed into System Preferences>iCloud with it, and you would be able to see your calendars, bookmarks and emails on the iCloud website. Is this the case? Did you sign into iCloud with your @me.com address?
If you did not migrate your MobileMe account you can no longer do so.
If you did migrate, did you do so from a full MobileMe account or from a Family Pack sub-account? the latter did not get the complimentary storage (because their iDisks were only 5GB anyway).
If you had a full MobileMe account, check on your Mac - System Preferences>iCloud - and see whether that shows the upgrade. If it doesn't, you probably need to contact Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support (MobileMe Support is no longer available) and you may be asked to pay a fee: in this case you should ask them to deal with it without cost (and hope they agree).
Note that you haven't paid anything for your MobileMe storage since your first renewal date after 6 June 2011, and iCloud costs nothing unless you specifically choose to upgrade the storage. Note also the iCloud storage is not general file storage in the manner of the iDisk but is restricted to iOS device Backup, Mail, Photo Journal and Documents.

Windows 8.1 & Skype: how to call a contact from the Windows Contact List?

Hi I just added a contact on Win 8.1 Surface. When I try to call directly from the windows contact list I get a message that skype has been replaced by skype for desktop. When I remove the skype app (and keep skype for desktop) calling from the list is also not possible: I get a message that no app is associated (message-skype-com) Is there a way around it? Or is it currently not possible to call a skype contact from windows contacts?

Hi, Pancake12,
Because I am not certain I an interpreting what you mean - although it looks quite literal - I am going to provide three separate pieces of information:
- To remove a contact's name from your Skype sign-in window, please refer to the instruction in this FAQ article - using their account name, not yours: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA11070/how-can-i-remove-my-skype-name-from-the-sign-in-screen-in-s...
- In case you mean removing a contact from the Skype Home Screen when you say, "sign in window," unfortunately, we cannot do this. Skype has some arbitrary algorithm which places recently contacted people on the Home Screen.
- In case you mean removing a contact from your contact list, here is an FAQ with the details how to do this: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA421/how-do-i-organize-my-contacts In Windows, it's as easy as highlighting by single-clicking a contact's name, right-click, and choose Remove from Contacts or Block.
Hope this helps!
Elaine
