  Re: Can contacts moved fr Outlook Contacts be restored  in response to rstone32566      
Hi Norm123
I had set-up iCloud Control Panel on the new computer.  I did get the contacts from iCloud back in my new computer, but they are in a new Contact folder that is apparently separate from the original Contacts Folder.  Now on my new PC, when I open Outlook and go to Contacts, Outlook shows two separate folders under My Contacts, both of which are labeled "Contacts".  One apparently came from iCloud, but the other is empty and appears to be the original Outlook Contacts folder.  I say this because the empty Contacts folder cannot be deleted, i.e., right clicking on it doesn't provide any option to delete it.  The other Contacts folder, which appears to mirror the one in iCloud, does offer this option to delete.
Then in Outlook on my new PC under the All Contacts column I also have a folder selection named "Contacts in iCloud", as well as a selection of a group of sub-contacts that I had originally set-up on my iPhone.  This subset of Contacts is maintained on my iPhone and was also intentionally shared with iCloud.
What I really had hoped to do initially was to maintain my PC's original Contacts on my PC, but to share the file with iCloud so if I was away from home I could look up a primary contact on my iPhone by opting to view them via iCloud. 
The other problem I have now is that when selecting Contacts on my iPhone, my only choices are to view the contacts that I originally set-up on my iPhone, or to view a selection called All Contacts, which displays not only the contacts that originally came from my PC, but merges them in with the contacts set up on my phone.  Of course this gives me a list of contacts that includes double entries for every contact that was set up on my iPhone and who is also in my PC's Contacts folder..  In other words, on my iPhone I can select the group set up on my phone by itself, which is great, but if I check the "All Contacts" group on my iPhone it will not allow me to unselect the group set up on my iPhone.
I wish your original suggestion to export vcards from the iCloud worked as the link you gave me described.  I can seem to re-populate the original Contacts folder on my new PC by importing the vcards, but I can only get this to work one contact at a time.  Selecting multiple contacts doesn't seem to work.
Thank you very much for all your help.  I hope the feedback in this message makes sense.  If you find out how to get the multiple selection export to work as advertised, please let me know
Best regards,
Bob (rstone32566)

If you downloaded iWorks apps under the ID you are using on your iPad, regardless of whether you erased it or not, the apps are still tied to that ID. 
Have you signed in to the App Store on your iPad?
Settings > iTunes and App Store
Tap your Apple ID and if you have not signed in, sign in using the same Apple ID and Password.
The same should be done with iCloud.

  • How to insure that contacts and calendar are NOT synced with ICloud?

    Hello,
    I do not understand, why it is not possible anymore to sync your contacts and calendar data between your mac book and your mobile devices using USB cable.
    I also heard that with Maverick and Itunes 11.1.2 you can not sync anything using USB anymore, is that true?
    Why is it not possible to let the customer decide how to sync their data? Why not leaving both options?
    In case it is true that with Maverick and Itunes 11.1.2 you are not able to sync using USB anymore, does anybody know a good app to sync your photos and address data between your computer and mobile devices?
    How can I insure that my contacts and calendar data are NOT automatically synced with ICloud?
    Yesterday I synced some Photos from my macbook to my IPad and wondered why I had the photos twice. I realized that my IPad had ICloud enabled, after disabling ICloud one picture folder (Photostream) was gone. What do do to avoid that my MacBook is sending Photos to ICloud?
    However, when I opened ICloud today, I did not find photos, but I found some address data from my MacBook in the Cloud.
    I do not want to have my contacts and calendar data anywhere else on a server.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks Hark

    Connect your phone to your computer using the USB power cable that you charge your phone with.
    Launch iTunes, it will go thru the normal sync back up progress bar thing at the top, let it finish.
    Then
    double  click on the phone in the left side bar then click INFO at the top of that pane, it will allow you select what you want to sync (contacts,calendar,etc) make your selections and click apply, then click sync. There buttons along the top for different functions (Movies, Apps, etc) just make sure that you do not have anything checked (like your whole music library) that will not fit on the phone.

  • TS3999 My Outlook Calender wont sync with iCloud/iPad/iPhone?

    My Outlook Calender wont sync with iCloud/iPad/iPhone? despite doing everything as per the support page. I keep on clicking the Add in but it wont "take"?
    It use to,  but no matter what I try nothing works. Using Windows 7. HELP!

    This step is not clear:
    "Open a secure website to see if you can access ports 80 and 443. Outlook requires access to port 443 to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Contacts servers."
    The link takes me to an Apple page but which has nothing to do with ports.  And there is nothing to explain what it is I am looking for, how to look for it, and how to change it if needed.
    Also, this step:
    "Open the iCloud Control Panel and make sure that you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices."
    iCloud automatically set up a "[email protected]...." account for me so I see that one plus my original email used to open my Apple account.  And the apple products show my settings under both identities.
    Make sure the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active within Outlook
    This add-in is disabled because it doesn't allow Outlook to function properly.
    Thanks!

  • Contacts created on iPhone not sync with iCloud

    I'm having this problem for a while now. Since my last iPhone.
    Currently I have:
    an iPhone 5, an iPad, a MCB and an iMac.
    All updated with last versions, all using iCloud to sync contacts.
    If I create a new contact on the MCB or on the iMac, it will sync to iCloud and to the iDevices. If edit this contact, or even delete it from the device, it will be deleted from iCloud, MSB and iMac.
    If I create a contact in the iPad, it will work fine if on settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars, the "Default Account" for contacts is set to "iCloud" instead on "On my iPad"
    The problem is: if I create a contact on the iPhone, it will not be synced with iCloud, MCB, iMac or iPad. It will remain only on the iPhone. And on the iPhone, under  settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars there is no "Default Account" for contacts, so I'm assuming it is set to "On my iPhone" by default.
    Does anyone know how to add the option? or how to force the iPhone to create contacts on iCloud instead on the device itself?

    Ensure that indeed you have your iCloud contact sync enabled on your iPhone. If this is true, try forcing the Default Account option to appear under Contacts on your iPhone Settings > Mail, Calendars, Settings. Then follow the instructions from here: iCloud contacts not syncing.
    To force the Default Accont option to appear, simply enable an additional contact sync account such as Exchange or CardDAV

  • TS2776 Any ideas why my Outlook 2010 is syncing with iCloud for e-mail but not for contacts and calendars?  I am not a novice user and have done all the obvious things. The situation is odd because the original calendars all came from Outlook in the first

    I use iMac, iPad and iPhone but also an HP laptop. I have used Macs since 1986 so I am not a novice.

I've tried all the obvious things and read most of the articles on the Apple Support website.

  • Contacts on PC do not sync with icloud/ipad/iphone

    I have a PC (Windows 7) and Outlook 2010. My contacts do not update on my ipad/iphone/icloud.com when I make an entry or changes in Outlook, and they don't update in Outlook when I make changes or entries on my devices/icloud.  However the devices/icloud are syncing with one another.  I need the contacts on my PC to be part of the sync but it won't work.  And photos only randomly sync up to my PC.  What's the secret here?????  Thank you!!

  • Outlook 2007 Not syncing with icloud (ios5).

    If I add or change a contact on my ipad or iphone they sync without issues.  If I merely update a change of information on my contact list from my iphone or ipad these changes make it to icloud just fine- but they do not sync with outlook on my PC.  I can make changes on outlook on my pc and they will make it to the cloud and onto my iphone & ipad.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Did you ever figure out what to do?  I am having the exact same issue.  All syncing between Outlook - Icloud - Iphone-Ipad work fine EXCEPT if I edit an original contact ON Icloud or any of my devices.  Those edits or changes sync on the devices and Icloud, but NOT back to Outlook.  A newly created contact or one that I've added after the initial download will sync everywhere fine.
    It appears from other threads I've read that others are experiencing this also.  Anybody - any thoughts? Fixes? Ideas?
    Thanks

  • Contacts on Macbook are not synced with iCloud

    MacBook Yosemite, Iphone 5S 8.1
    I have 2708 contacts on my Macbook. They are shown under iCloud/all contacts
    My macbook is connected to my ICloud account and the preferences/icloud/contact sync is ticked
    In the same iCloud account (if I go online via Safari into my account) I see only 36 of these contacts, which I also find on my Iphone, which is connected to the same ICloud Account and the contact Sync is ticked...that means Iphone and Macbook are correctly connected to the same ICloud Account but not syncing properly.
    Strange ist that if I open contacts/preferences/accounts on my macbook, I see 1 active ICloud account and 3 inactive ICloud accounts all with the same apple ID. I'm not able to delete the 3 inactive accounts with "-". I end up always in the normal looking ICloud preferences.
    I tried unticking contacts....also signing off from the iCloud Account...signing in again. No help!
    How can I get my 2708 contacts from my Macbook to my internet ICloud account and then synced automatically to my iphone?
    Thanks

    Thanks. No, I have 10.7 nowadays, have had it for a while. I discovered in Contact preferences that Icould was not activated. Now it is and the contacts are syncing again, although they appear twice, if I have both "on my Mac" and ""ICloud" activated. Any way to avoid this?

  • Can't get Notes from Outlook 2007 to sync with iCloud

    I have Outlook 2007 running on Windows 7 pc.  I have just upgraded to os5 on ipad 2 and iphone 4s.  Can't get Notes to sync between Outlook 2007 and the ipad or iphone.  Notes does sync between the ipad and iphone though.  I have set @me.com account as the default email account in outlook and icloud control panel worked with outlook and setup.  Calendar syncs between all three as it should.  Just can't get Notes to sync between icloud and outlook.  Does anyone know of a way to get this to work?

    I fell your pain and no thereis no good solution to this nasty issue. However you can view your Outlooknotes on your iOS devices but I had to do a sync via PC iTunes and sync cable to each device (iPhone 4 and iPad 2) not a very good solution (no support for OTA iCloud sync, LAME!). Then when the Outlook notes arrive on my iOS device in the Notes app its under a separatefolder "From My PC". All notes generated on your iOS devices are in the folder [email protected] or iCloud folder.  Further more if you go to your iCloud webpage you will only see the notes you generated from your iOS devices (if youhave Notes sync turned on) and you can't edit them nor can you create new notes from the iCloud webpage interface! Extremely sad and downright terrible migration from Mobile Me.  These are simple text notes this should not be so difficult but Apple chose to treat them the same as email messages basically and made a flashy "Notes App" just like the new iOS 5 "RemindersApp" same thing.
    If you’re like me and your looking to go away from your Outlook Notes and just want to put all notes into the Apple Notes then you need to use one of your iOS devices and manually cut and past the notes one at a time from your "From My PC" folder then create a new one on in your iCloud folder. This is also so darn ********! You should be able to select all do a copy then go to the iCloud folder and past,done (but you can't)! With hundreds of Notes collected over the years you’re not likely going to manually open each one select all, copy close and create a new note in the iCloud folder....  and by the way I'm not looking to load Evernot at this time so stop suggesting exporting my Outlook notes to Evertnote, this is not a solution to this issue.
    Apple are you listening!?

    Open contacts on your phone and tap Groups.  Make sure all your contacts belong to your iCloud account and not something else like On My iPhone, a Gmail, Yahoo or exchange Account, From My Mac, etc.  (iCloud will only sync contacts that belong to the iCloud account.)

  • How do you get iCal on Snow Leopard to sync with iCloud

    My wife has a slightly older intel based iMac running Snow Leopard.  The machine is too old for Lion.  The family has been a long time user of MobileMe and we updated to iCloud when it was released.  This seems to have created a problem with iCal, which can't connect to an appropriate server.  I've tried two different servers that I have found mentioned in forums.
    p06-caldav.icloud.com
    caldav.icloud.com
    Neither of these worked.  Does anyone know what the correct server is?  Or has Apple intentially screwed us by deliberately making it incompatible?
    Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
    Rick

    Officially you can't sync calendars on Snow Leopard, but there are unofficial workarounds. In addition to the correct server address, you also need the dedicated number for your account.
