HT204150 I cannot Sync the contact to icloud

How can I sync the contact list from iphone 4s to icloud?

Did you go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to On and choose Merge when prompted yet?
If so, and your contacts still aren't in your iCloud account, what account is the contact list in on your phone?  Is it in On My iPhone, a Gmail, Yahoo or exchange account?  Something else?

  • I changed the email address for my apple id and now I cannot sync the contacts and calendar with my iphone

    It is crazy but in the apple store they set up the icloud for me and then I started sync the iphone against the icloud and i had some photos in streaming because they recommended to do like that. After that, the space got not enough and they asked for more more to increase the space, so I decided to come back to the previous method and sync my iphone with itunes via usb. Well, the email address that i had for my apple id became unavailable so i had to create a new account this time with gmail and since then, i cannot sync my iphone. I have done it today and i have lost my contacts and the calendar is no ,onger sync. I am using outlook to manage my mail and when I look for the i cloud it asks me for the old email address which no longer exists and does not match with the current one.
    Can anyone help me?

    Nevermind, I figured it out!

  • How to sync the contacts in icloud

    if i add a contact in icloud in my pc i am able to find it in my iphone. but if i add a contact in my iphone i could'nt see that in icloud. and i have imported 250 contacts through my sim card and i have saved some 100 contacts manually in my phone. but i am able to see the contacts that i have imported from sim alone, i am unable to see the contacts that i have uploaded manually.

    Download the free app My Contacts Backup.  Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, when prompted choose Delete from My iPhone.  Check the contacts on your phone.  If you have any left on your phone, launch My Contacts Backup, tap the gear shaped icon on the bottom right, scroll to the bottom and tap Remove All Contacts.  When finished, go back to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On to sync the unduplicated contacts back to your phone from iCloud.
    Also, be sure you aren't trying to sync your contacts with both iCloud and iTunes or you will get duplicates.

  • While my iphone (6 plus) is synced with icloud, the contacts on icloud are several years old! My phone shows that it was backed up this morning to icloud. Any ideas on why icloud is not updated with my contacts?

  • How can I sync the contacts in my phone with those on my MacBook Pro? I already have an iCloud account, and everything else (calendars,music, etc.I is already synched) but the contacts won't.

    How can I sync the contacts in my phone with those on my MacBook Pro? I already have an iCloud account, and everything else (calendars,music, etc.I is already synched) but the contacts won't.

    Ok.
    Open System Preferences, Apple Logo icon in the menu bar and then System Preferences or the Sys Pref iocon in the Dock and go to the Internet Accounts area and look at your iCloud account. It should list what is and isn't synced by a checkmark next to each item.
    Also in the Contacts app click on Contacts in the menu bar and select Preferences then accounts and make sure your iCloud account is listed. You can also do that from the Internet Accounts area in System Preferences.

  • TS1627 Cannot sync iphone contacts to address book.

    My iphone 4 contacts are not syncing with my address book.  I have followed the instructios about checking the sync box on the info pane.  I am not syncing my contacts to icloud.  Last time i did that, it wiped out all my contacts.  Any suggestions?

    Is your Address Book on your Mac empty? Try the following, add a new test contact on your iPhone. Next try to sync again. If nothing happens, make sure you have set up the Default Contact Sync account on your iPhone to point to Address Book.
    To do so, go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars and under "Contacts" look at what you have set up as "Default"

  • Sync iphone contact with icloud

    I've entered new contact information on my iPhone, but those phone numbers are not appearing for that contact in the iCloud subfolder in Outlook.  What is the best way to sync contact information in Outlook so information on my iPhone is updated in my iCloud (in Outlook).

    The first thing to check is to go to icloud.com on your computer, then enter a new contact on your phone and see if it appears in your contacts on icloud.com.  Then do the same thing in Outlook.
    When you do this, which is not syncing new contacts to icloud.com?

  • Can I retrieve contacts that I deleted from an email account on my IPhone that I no longer have access to? I have synced the contacts with my computer and have not synced since I deleted the mail account on my Iphone. Can I still retrieve the contacts?

    can I retrieve contacts that I deleted from an email account on my IPhone that I no longer have access to? I have synced the contacts with my computer and have not synced since I deleted the mail account on my Iphone. Can I still retrieve the contacts on my home computer?

    This might be a problem as it is a company mail account that I no longer work for.
    Could I...
    Plug iphone into pc and click Restore in iTunes?
    Then using ICloud, retrieve all the data lost in the restore?

  • I can sync with my outlook calendar, but cannot sync with contacts or e-mail.

    I can sync with my outlook calendar, but cannot sync with contacts or e-mail.  When I click on Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars it doesn't open and reverts to the home page.  When I try to open Mail I get an error message saying "Cannot get mail.  The user name or password for Gmail is incorrect".  If I press "settings" it reverts to home page.  I was revised to restore settings which I have now done, but the problem has not been resolved. Can anyone help?
    i do have a gmail account and may have used this when I first set up itunes/ipad (I'm new to Apple).  However, I want to synchronize with my Microsoft Exchange account.

    It may be a bit late for your needs, but there's a sync product for Outlook (an add-in) that will sync public and private folders/calendars.  Once you have your items in a mailbox folder, the regular ios sync will bring it to your device.  It's called Add2Outlook, it's made by DidItBetter.com Software.
    It syncs private and public, mailboxes and folders in any direction.  One-way, two-way, read-only or writable.  It also works with Office 365 and hosted exchange providers, if that's your situation.  It works for calendars, contacts, tasks, email, whatever.  It can even sync to PST or between two different Exchange servers.
    It installs on your workstation, not on the Exchange server.

  • I cannot get the contact from my iPhone 5 onto my iMac

    I cannot get the contacts on my iPhone 5 onto my iMac. I have spent ages on the phone to support and they do not seem to be able to help. If i put a new contact into the contacts on my iMac, it goes to iCloud but it does not do this when i input a new contact onto my iPhone. i have checked and all software is up to date. All the accounts are the same for iPhone, iCloud and iMac (all registered on same email address.) Am planning on using the iMac for business purposes and really don't fancy manually inputting 200 new contacts!!! Please help

  • I have a BT internet pop account and have been told this cannot sync across devices with iCloud. Is this true?

    I have a BT internet pop account and have been told this cannot sync across devices using icloud. Is this true and are there ways round it?

    That's correct. iCloud handles only its own email, and has no relationship with other accounts. It's in the nature of a POP service that messages are downloaded from the server to the machine - it was really designed for single-computer use in the days when a second computer was an unheard-of luxury. You can usually set the email client to leave message on the server either permanently or for a specified period, so that other devices can also access the messages, but of course they won't see replies or sent messages.
    IMAP (which is what iCloud uses) is the better protocol to use - the messages live on the server and the various computers and devices read them from there, like webmail - and a service which provides that will behave in exactly the same way as iCloud but independently of it. You should ask BT if they can provide an IMAP version of the account - some ISPs provide both, some don't.

  • How do i sync my contacts from icloud to my new pc ?!

    my laptop is not working anymore so i bought a new one , my contacts on my iphone are synced , but only on icloud,
    anyway to sync these contacts from icloud or download them to my new laptop !?
    I have windows 7

    Why would you downgrade your OS? That is neither supported by Apple or recommended by them, and is no doubt the cause of the problems you are now having.
    To sync with iCloud requires iOS 5.
    Update to the OS that iCloud supports and you will be able to do what you want, exactly as Apple recommends.
