HT5824 Contacts, iCloud, iphone, computer ISSUES

Hello everyone,
I am rather new to the iPhone and iCloud stuff....I am having a little trouble with my contacts and my phone and my iCloud account. I have just recently deleted some contacts from my iCloud account on my computer, but it hasn't updated to my phone yet. I have turned my phone off and on to see if that will work, but its not doing the trick....Any helpful hints????

Nevermind....I figured it out!!

THREE different counts of CONTACTS (iCloud, iPhone, MBP and MacPro)

i had thought that i extricated myself from the morass that was MM but now find myself with non-synced contacts on all three of my devices with the only device showing the same number of contacts as iCloud being my Mac Pro.
this means that i have THREE different counts for the number of contacts in my various devices and it is basically impossible for me to remember what was entered on which device and when.
is there some way out of this?
is iCloud Contact sync as unreliable as my MM contact sync or am i just doing something extremely stupid?
TIA
Jon

hi csound.
i am on 6.1 on the iphone and i only see "All Contacts" i don't see any iCloud account listed. also, while i am on Lion on the Mac Pro and Mountain Lion on the MBP and i know there may be some differences in these two as it pertains to iCloud, i am currently doing an /extended/ troubleshoot of this with advanced mac technical on the phone. there appears to be some issue with iCloud where syncing does not occur or somehow is forced to occur (as in turning off a sync in Settings > ICloud), closing settings and then re-opening settings and having the option magically checked again.
i've done this kind of misery in MM and i am hoping to get is solved here soon.
in the meantime there also appears to be a problem getting my Notes back to sycing so i have simply moved these to notational velocity for at least the time being.
with the laptop i have and these sync issues i can't take much more i am afraid and will have to figure out a way to intelligently minimize the time i spend on this kind of thing.
i can't even get a capture data to complete on the laptop so they can send the issue to the developers...

ICloud only sync selective contacts from iPhone

This problem has been driving me crazy for the past 2 weeks.
Allow me to give you the full story so that you can help me.
Since iCloud became online I had no issues syncing outlook on Windows XP , iPhone and iPad contacts , calendars and notes. However, for the past 2 months i noticed that outlook is not syncing properly as the new contacts created on the iPad and the iPhone were not being transferred but I didn't bother as the iCloud / iPhone and iPad always had all the updated contacts.
My problems started when I got a new windows 7 laptop, I exported the outlook contacts from the windows XP machine to the outlook in the windows 7 machine and installed iCloud control panel in the new laptop and had outlook sync with iCloud through the iCloud control panel hoping that I will end up with contacts in outlook matching those in iCloud.
HOWEVER , what happened is that my contacts on iCloud got messed up and ended up messing my contacts on the iPhone and iPad within few minutes. So I went to iCloud.com , deleted everything .... disabled iCloud on the iPhone, used the latest iPhone backup (which had good contacts) and then enabled syncing with iCloud hoping that the contact list will go from the iPhone to iCloud.................. what happened is that out of 1779 contacts only 210 got to iCloud while the rest remain in the iPhone only.
I tried several times to delete the contacts from iCloud, reset the iPhone and establish the iClound link again but to no avail the same number of contacts only goes to iCloud. I also got an app (contacts kit) and saved my iPhone contacts as vCard and went to iCloud.com to import the vCard file it but i got an error relating to exceeding some limit (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4489?viewlocale=en_US) so this is not going to work for me either.
This is really frustrating as it used to be fine but now for some reason it's not working ................ any ideas or help on how to transfer the full contacts from the iPhone to iCloud will be much appreciated.
Thank you all

Make sure you created a combo vCard backup of your master contact list in a compatible format (not all vCards are compatible). If you're not sure, use the app My Contacts Backup to create one.
Then go to iCloud.com from your computer, open your contacts, click All Contacts, select any single contacts and press Control-A to select them all (they should all be highlighted), then press your Delete key to delete them. Confirm that the contacts are all deleted. On your phone, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and make sure you have selected iCloud as your default. (If you don't have multiple accounts syncing contacts on your phone you won't see this setting and can skip this step.) Then open the email and tap the vCard attachment to import your master contact list back to your phone, and to iCloud and your other devices.

HT1386 how can i sync only my contacts thru my computer but everything else with icloud

I have XP, how can I sync only my contacts thru my computer (with Itunes) but keep everything on Icloud backup?

1st make sure that iTunes will not sync iPhone automatically
on iTunes go to Edit>preferences> Devices > check "prevent iDevice from syncing automatically"
>connect iPhone to PC
> on iTunes click your iPhone's name
> then untick everything you don't want to be synced line music,movies,apps,calendars, mails
leave 'sync contacts' ticked
then you should be fine

How to sync contacts from iPhone to a computer

Hi, I've just realised that since i've had the iPhone 5, it hasn't been syncing my contacts onto my computer. I thought it was because I didn't have enough backup storage on iCloud so i deleted my backup (which was stupid because now it says I've never backed up and I can't seem to backup because I don't have enough storage).
How do I put my contacts onto my computer? Help!
Thanks

How to sync contacts in iPhone, iCloud, Exchange, Hotmail?

I have contacts in four different places: Microsoft Exchange (on a Mac), Hotmail, iPhone 5s and iCloud. I have cleaned up all duplicates in all the lists but am not managing to get them all to sync. My iPhone has 660 contacts on it, iCloud (and Mac Contacts) has 502 and Exchange has 527. I can't figure out why there are contacts on my phone that have not synced with any of the other contact lists. I do not appear to have a group 'on my iphone' on the phone and there are no duplicates. How can I get all 660 contacts from my phone onto iCloud and Exchange?

Hi rajeshkumarfromindia!
If you already have an iCloud account, you should be able to simply turn on contacts in the iCloud section of your settings on the phone in order to merge your local contacts on your iPhone into the contacts of iCloud:

TS4009 Deleting contacts on iPhone...do they delete from iCloud too?

I am new to Apple products but have a delima...my stepson transferred contacts from his old phone to the new one then started deleting the contacts on the old one only to find that they were being deleted from his new iPhone. Is there anyway to get all that back from "iCloud"? Very lost and confused. I'm hoping there is good news for us!

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately once you have deleted contacts from your iCloud account, there is no way to recover them from the iCloud account directly. If you have a backup of the contacts on a computer somewhere you may be able to recover them.

ICloud doesn't syncronize the contacts with iPhone

iCloud doesn't syncronize the contacts with iPhone.

Hey there keope5,
Depending on where you are editing the Contacts, the troubleshooting to be done can vary. If you are updating them at www.icloud.com or another device/computer and the edits arent being reflected on your iOS device, use the iOS troubleshooting in the following article on your phone:
Get help using iCloud Contacts
If you are using another iOS device, or a computer and the edits do NOT reflect at www.icloud.com, use the appropriate section for that device instead.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

You have to follow the process outlined here to recover contacts from an iCloud backup: Recovering deleted iCloud contacts from an iCloud backup.. Otherwise, as you have noticed, the recovered contacts are overwritten when your device reconnects to iCloud.

HT4528 I have 3 iPhones, one Ipad, and two PC's that I have tried to "connect" using one iTunes account and am having issues.I connected iPhone #3 to one PC, it removed all contacts from iPhone #3, replaced w/ contacts from iPhone #2. How can I get back?

I have 3 iPhones, one iPad and 2 PC's, all using the same iTunes account. I want to be able to have each iPhone keep their own list of accounts and music list and the I pad different as well. I want to 2 PC's music list to match. How do I do this?
Additionally, when I connected iPhone #3 to one PC, it removed the contacts from #3 and replaced it with contacts from iPhone #2. How do I get those contacts back and prevent this from happening again?

Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

I use my iPad to get the address book backed up by iCloud from my iPhone. However, I cannot see the recent new contacts from my iPad. Is there anyway to check the iCloud server to see if my address book backup from my iPhone is still there?
