I was attempting to setup my iPhone on iCloud and while downloading it wipe out my contacts. What happened?

Device reached the limit of three free icloud accounts that Apple allows to be created on one device. Need to use another Apple device to create new account. Still can use icloud accounts but can't create new one.

I have set up iCloud on my iPhone and Macbook Pro. When I go to the iCloud site, I sign in, but when I click on any of the apps (Contacts, Calendar, etc), I get a pop up message telling to enable said app by setting up iCloud. Help?

Hi,
I have set up iCloud on my iPhone and Mac. When I go to iCloud on the web, sign in, and click on one of the apps (Calendar, contacts, etc.), I get a message telling me to enable the app on my iOS device - which I've already done. Any idea why it's not working for me? Thanks!

This is presumably because you are running an earlier system than Lion. (Please always post your system when you have a question.)
The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
If you are running Leopard on an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further.

I set up iCloud on my iPhone and now my contacts are gone.

Is there a fix for this?

I am certainly no expert, but the solution for me was to open Address Book preferences on my iMac, and set the AB to Sync. You might also check other threads for a solution.

HT204053 I deleted my iCloud account on my iPhone to use a new Apple account and my contacts were all deleted what do I do?

deleted my iCloud signed back in hoping to recover all of my contacts only got a few back where are the rest?

Try going to icloud.com and signing into the old account you deleted on your phone. See if your contacts are still there; if they aren't and you haven't backed them up anywhere else then their gone. If they are, back them up to a combo vCard as discussed in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4910 and save it on your computer. Next, email the file you saved to yourself and open in on your phone, then tap the attachment to re-import the contacts to your phone.

This is a shot in the dark, but try this:

change your password
ensure your billing information is up-to-date
attempt to re-enable your Keychain (again)

If your contacts aren't on icloud.com when you check from your computer, and they aren't on your phone, you'll have to try restoring your last backup (or recover them from another backup source).
