HT4859 My contacts from iphone do not show in icloud on my PC

I have installed icloud on my PC and iphone5 in order to transfer and edit my contacts on the PC. When I connect my iphone to my PC it opens itunes and syncs but when I open icloud online on my PC and view contacts they are not there.

Looks like you are syncing contacts with Yahoo and FB.  If you want to get your Yahoo contacts in iCloud do the following (not sure if this will also add your FB contacts):
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (if you have any iCloud contacts, they will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup.  Use this to backup the remaining contacts on your phone  as a vCard attachment to an email.  Send this email to yourself.
After receiving the email on your phone, 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 Yahoo account and turn Off contacts syncing with Yahoo.
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts back to your phone.  They will be added to iCloud group, and should now see them on icloud.com.  You can then check Outlook to see if the contacts appear there as well.

  • Backed up photos from iPhone 4S not showing on iCloud or iPhone 5S

    Hello,
    I hope someone can help me.
    I recently got an iPhone 5S and most of my photos aren't appearing. I can't see them on iCloud.com, either.
    My old iPhone 4S has always been set to back up to iCloud (photos included) and did so for the final time the night before I started using my 5S.
    When I set up my 5S, it immediately showed all the data from my 4S (notes, reminders, etc.) EXCEPT most of my photos. It shows photos from 16 April 2014 onwards, but nothing before that. My iPhone 4S has photos right back to August 2013 which should be on iCloud.
    In 'Settings > iCloud, 'Photos' is set to 'on'. The storage and backup information says 6.4GB of my backup is camera roll. So why has my complete camera roll failed to appear on my 5S?
    Also, when I login to iCloud on the web, photos are not shown at all - so I have no reassurance they're backed up (despite paying for extra storage). Why is this? I have a total of 15GB iCloud storage and only 8.3GB is currently used.
    Very confused - please help!

  • TS4006 find my iphone app not showing in iCloud on my mac

    downloaded find my iphone app onto my mac however not showing in icloud Works from my iphone

    I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish by singing out.  If you sign out, this will turn off Find My Mac too since the iCloud account will no longer be active on your Mac.  It isn't possible to be signed out of your iCloud account and still have Find My Mac active on it.

  • HT3529 Contacts on iPhone 5 not showing up as iMessage

    I have an iPhone 5 and just noticed that some contacts that are iOS users are not showing up as iMessages on my phone.  I received an iMessage on my MBP, but didn't receive it on my iPhone because according to my iPhone, they are not iMessage users.  I have all the iMessage configs correct.  Anyone else have this problem?  Any solutions?  Here is what I've tried.
    Deleting the iOS phone # from contacts and readding it as "iPhone" phone number.
         When I go to create a new message from my phone to this #, it is still sending as text and not iMessage.

    You cannot view files on iPhone using the Mac.
    Everything goes through Mac iTunes.
    The main problem I would like to fix is to be able to locate my device on my computer but I would also very much appreciate information on how to fix the syncing problem.
    Just click Sync button again in Mac iTunes with your iPhone connected and selected.

  • Pics from iPhone 5 not showing up in photostream in iPhoto using icloud.  suggestions?

    I have taken a couple of pics with my iPhone 5 and they're not showing up in iPhoto on my mac.  I've signed up for iCloud and it's enabled.  I've gone into "system preferences" and made sure iCloud is on, and PhotoStream is also.  I've gone under iPhoto preferences to make sure everything is checked.  It's also under settings in my phone...all checked and turned on there too.  I thought when you took a pic with your phone they were supposed to show up in Photo Stream in your iPhoto on your Mac automatically, without needing to sync.  What am I doing wrong?

    OK.
    First try a Restart of your Mac... and...
    For the Phone...Try This...
    Close All Open Apps...  Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • I can't get my contacts from IPhone to go into my ICloud on my PC so that I can load into my IPad.  Any suggestions?

    I can't get my contacts from my IPhone to upload into my iCloud on my PC so that I can load them into my IPad.  Any suggestions?

    I'm not sure if you mean to say "back up" because a backup does not include contacts.  What you need to do is go to Settings>iCloud and turn on both icloud and contacts.  That should connect the phone to icloud and sync the contacts.

  • Contacts on iPhone do not sync to iCloud

    I use Outlook on Windows7 and iPhone 4 to sync thru iCloud. Calendar, Photostream and Contacts sync successfully, but Contacts sync only for the first time. Added contacts or edited contacts do not sync between iPhone and iCloud, but they sync between Outlook and iCloud. I just realized now that the "working" circulating icon appears all the time when I open Contacts and it never disappear, so it is trying to do something but never synced to iCloud. What would be the problem?

    Here's how I fixed it:
    When you're in contacts on ipad or iphone, touch "groups" on upper left. I was making all changes on my ipad/iphone when I had the group "all contacts" chosen. Choose "all icloud" group and leave it there and when you add or make changes, it will sync to icloud. All my contacts were on my google account, but not in icloud so I used the following instructions to sync my google contacts to icloud. It worked perfectly. Now I leave my ipad/iphone group set to "all icloud" and it's all syncing to icloud between the ipad2/iphone 4s and imac.
    Thought I'd share how I did this since I'm new to iPhones, iCloud.
    I found other tutorials that involved iTunes and such but I didn't want the hassle.
    Requirements are Gmail Account and a valid iCloud account (Apple ID)
    1. Go to your Google Contacts
    2. Click the More menu > Export
    3. Choose the group or all of your contacts you wish to export, whichever you prefer.
    4. Choose vCard format and click the Export button.
    5. You will now have a contacts.vcf which has been downloaded to your computer. Put it on your desktop if you prefer.
    6. Rename contacts.vcf to yournamehere.vcf (example: stephan.vcf)
    7. Log in to iCloud. www.icloud.com
    8. Click Contacts
    Important Note: Make sure there are no contacts listed here before importing or this may not work. The page needs to be blank.
    9. Drag the .vcf file into the window under All Contacts.
    The page will highlight with a blue rectangle when you drag the .vcf onto it. Wait a little bit. (It took about 8 seconds for mine to import. I only have 136 contacts though.)
    On your iPhone, go to Settings > iCloud and make sure Contacts is listed as ON.

  • Photos from iPhone do not show up on my iPad

    I am having problems of late viewing my photos which I took with the iPhone which for some reason will not migrate to the iPad. I have but one iCloud account, everything is turned on so the photos should move freely between the devices but they don't. Is there another way of downloading iPhone photos onto either my MacBook or the iPad? I have tried iTunes and just about everything else but no success. Your help would be much appreciated.
    Hans

    Is "My Photo Stream" turned on in "Photos & Camera" settings in the Settings app?

  • Calendar invitations accepted on iPhone 6 not showing in iCloud calendar

    Hi
    When I accept mime-attachment.ics calendar invitations on my iPhone 6, the appointment in created in my iPhone calendar, but for some reason doesn't show up in the iCloud calendar (accessed through iCloud.com).  I have the latest version iOS8.1.1 on my iPhone 6.  This problem has started in the last 3 weeks.  I have a similar problem on my iPad.  The result is that I can't sync the appointments created by accepting mime-attachment.ics invitations across devices.

    I'm experiencing the same issue, but I found a workaround until it is fixed. After accepting the invite via an ICS attachment, I change the calendar from Work to Home, then back to Work, and then the appointment appears in iCloud, on my Mac, etc.
    Hope that helps for now.

  • Can't synch Notes or Contacts from iPhone 3GS after upgrade to iOS5

    After I upgraded to iOS5 on my iPhone 3GS, I no longer can synch Notes and Contacts from iPhone to Outlook or iCloud. Calendar synchs OK.

    After 2 hours with Apple Support, which was great, we figured out the issue. 1-800-my-iphone. When I upgraded to iOS5 and started using the iCloud, I was unaware that my previous synching settings were still set to Yahoo.com where I had been sycning wirelessly in the past. So the Apple support tech showed me that I had multiple accounts in both Notes and Contacts. I had iPhone, iCloud, yahoo, Outlook accounts and my default settings on the iphone should have all been set to icloud. Syching was occuring, but not in icloud. It took a little manual conversion of some Notes and Contacts into the icloud folders in Outlook, but now everything works and I only display and use the iCloud accounts in Notes and Contacts. Apple realizes that this is an issue for those of us that were previously using Yahoo and equivalents for wireless synching and they provded my support free. Usually they charge $27. All is well.

    Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device.

  • IPhoto on Mac not showing photostream. My photos from iPhone were not on my Mac, I tried to import using cable. Now the photos show in iCloud only.  It seems frozen. On trying to close iPhoto down got message that photos being imported. 6 hours ago

    I have IMac on Yosemeite, 500GB. IPhone 5 on 8.2. My photos, from iPhone, had not appeared via photo stream on my Mac. I had been away from a while But expected the photos to appear on the Mac. There were 1000 in Photostream and 1200 in Camera Roll. I used a cable to import the Camera Roll, it stopped importing after 1000 photos. The photos, though, are in iCloud and I don't know how to access them to put them to Events. There are 3 recent Photostream events showing up in IPhoto withOut any photos. I tried to import to Library but was directed to Finder and no access to iPhoto. I tried to shut down iPhoto but got a message telling me photos were being imported. That's 6 hours ago and I'm still getting the same message. I don't know what to do. I'm not an expert, just a user.

    HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
    i tried to sort it out  by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
    i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
    WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
    I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.
