ICloud - addressbook contacts pictures disappeared

I just upgraded my iMac on OS X Lion and my iPhone on iOS 5... and i tryed to activate iCloud service.
Now I have a problem with my contacts pictures on AddressBook! Almost all of them disappeared after the syncronization!
Luckily this problem is only on my iMac AddressBook... all is OK on my iPhone and all is OK on iCloud website.
How to fix it?
Thanx

I followed the steps laid out by Philippine Swing, but that did not solve the problem for me. After AddressBook>Preferences>Account>iCloud disabling and re-enabling, the addresses came in with most pictures showing just like in iCloud/iPhone/iPad, but there are three sort of problem cases:
1. Some addresses show no picture. However, if I double-click on the picture field, the picture shows up. When I then click on "set", the picture is visible. But when I click on a different address entry and then go back to the problem address, the picture is gone again. I can repeat this step indefinitely, but the picture never sticks forever.
2. Some addresses show no picture. When I double-click on the picture field, no picture shows up.
3. Some addresses in Address Book show a picture although I have the picture deleted in iCloud (and the change carried over to iPhone and iPad with no problem).
Any advise? Thanks.

  • IPhone contact pictures disappear once i use safari browser

    Can anyone help with this problem... I assign pictures to my contacts. When I use my iPhone safari browser, or use any internet apps, the contact pictures disappear. What is going on? Thanks.

    ckent007,
    What version of the iPhone software are you using?
    Are you saving the contact pictures (by tapping done in the edit contact screen) before you go to the home screen and use another application?
    Hope this helps,

  • My iPhone has my old email set up throught iCloud. How do I reset my new username with the device without deleting everything. And if I have to delete my old account, will everything (contacts, pictures, games, apps, etc.) be erased from my phone.

    My iPhone has my old email set up throught iCloud. How do I reset my new username with the device without deleting everything. And if I have to delete my old account, will everything (contacts, pictures, games, apps, etc.) be erased from my phone.

    Your old ID connects to an icloud account containing all your data (email, contacts, etc.)  If you then use a different ID, you will connect to a different account, which results in losing all your "apple" data, like emails, contacts, calendars, etc.
    However, Apple IDs are also used to connect to an itunes store account, with is different.  You can keep using the old itunes store ID to keep all your purchases (but if you change to a different ID, you will lose all purchased items) and use the new ID for icloud (but losing emails, contacts, etc. from the old account).

  • I have an iPhone 4s iOs 5.1.1, I want to update it to iOs 7, if I've backed up to iCloud will my contacts, pictures and text messages be saved and able to be restored if lost?

    I have an iPhone 4s iOs 5.1.1,( I know I need an update!) I want to update it to iOs 7, if I've backed up to iCloud will my contacts, pictures and text messages be saved and able to be restored if lost? I recently backed up to the iCloud as recently as this morning at 2AM.

    OCD with good reason
    With a second backup, as you now have, you are well protected.  The update makes a backup to use for restoring after the install but with another you should be in great shape.
    Just take you time and be patient, these can take a while to complete depending on server load, connection speed, etc.

    I just had the same problem, I've updated to 10.6.8 yesterday, and since then the browsing are very slow, no matter what broswer I am using, the upload download speed are still the same. But browsing just take forever, It takes for example google.com 30 seconds to load. I have Extream high speed internet connection, 3 other computers, and the only one is having this problem is the Mac after the update.
    Something in this update screwed my browsing capabitilties, I tried downloading Crome browser, same issue.
    I hope there is a way beside TimeMachine to revert the latest update. I don't want to reformat as I am sure as soon as I am going to do the update it will cause the same problem.

  • How to move my contacts & pictures from one icloud account to another?

    I need to create a new icloud account because Ive been using my husband sign in - he just got an i phone and now need to move my stuff to another account but I dont want to loose my contacts, pictures videos, etc?/
    Please help!!!1

    So far as your photos are concerned, just make sure that you move any photos that you have in photo stream that you wish to save, across to your camera roll for stop
    So far as contacts go, turn off contacts in your iCloud settings and you will be asked if you wish to keep the contacts on your device, you can then safely delete your account from your phone. When you add your own account to the phone and enable contacts, you should be asked if you then wish to merge your contacts.

  • Updated iphone 4s to iOS 8.1.2, then enabled iCloud and my contacts have disappeared!!

    I recently updated to iOS 8.1.2 on my iphone 4s. After about a week, I enabled iCloud for the first time. This afternoon I noticed a phone number instead of a name when I received  a call, and then discovered all my contacts have disappeared!  Any ideas how to restore without doing a full restore of the backup I did before I upgraded the OS.  How do I sync my most recent backup of only my contacts on itunes with the (empty) contacts on my iPhone?  My contacts list contains many vital details, such as addresses, email addresses, and alternate phone numbers and I don't understand how Apple could permit such a thing to happen.

  • My contacts just disappeared off iCloud

    My contacts just disappeared off my iphone having not deleted them or fiddled with the settings. They have also deleted in a similar fashion off my Mac book pro. These seems to be because they have disappeared off my icloud. Please help!
    thanks

    Missing contacts:
    Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Contacts page.  If they are gone, then they are gone (is someone else using the same account as you, like a spouse or child?). 
    If they show up, then the problem is that your device is not connecting to the Contacts database on icloud. 
    On the device, go to Settings>icloud.  Be sure icloud is on and using the right ID.  If not, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Delete Account - this just disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost.  Then log back in using the correct ID.  ALSO - be sure the Contacts are turned on (on the same screen).
    Note:  Contacts are not part of an iCloud backup, since they are part of contacts database on iCloud's servers.   So performing a restore will not help.
    Contacts are gone from icloud.com.
    Then they have been deleted.  There are many reasons for this.  One possibility is that someone else is using the same iCloud account (family member, etc.) and they deleted contacts, thinking they did want them on THEIR device.  How to get them back?  Unfortunately, an iCloud backup does not include any of the sync databases, like contacts, notes, calendars, reminders, etc. because the data is already stored in these databases.  Your only hope for restoring the data is if you had that data on a computer (like a mac's Contacts, Calendars, etc.) and that data was backed up using whatever backup software you typically use (e.g. Time Machine on a mac).  Just restore the data files back to the computer.  Other than that, I'm afraid the data is gone.

  • HT4847 Why all My pictures disappear from My pictures, were My pictures goes if they are in iCloud how can i access to it?

    Why all My pictures disappear from My pictures, were My pictures goes if they are in iCloud how can i access to it?

    Your camera roll photos are only stored as part of your iCloud backup, if you are backing up to iCloud.  Only photo stream photos are accessible in your iCloud account, and only by turning on photo stream.  If you turn on photo stream, any photos in your photo stream will be found in the photo stream album in the Photos app on your phone.

  • When setting iCloud my contacts disappeared from my iPhone

    I sync my iphone 5 with outlook as well as my ipad mini.
    I created an icloud account to be able to use the find my iphone app.
    It asked me what to do with my contacts and I chose merge.
    My contacts have disappeared from my iphone an there are no contacts in icloud.
    My ipad mini has the data since I have not configured icloud in the ipad.
    What do you suggest to get the contacts back to my iphone?
    And what do I need to do to configure icloud on the ipad without deleting the contacts
    Thank you
    ATM

    Thank you for your suggestion. I tried that and when I slid the bar to off , I was asked what I wanted to do with the  icloud synched contacts, leave on the iPad or delete or cancel. I selected leave on the iPad and then the synch symbol came on screen, it stayed that way for over 30  minutes, in that state. I then rebooted the iPad and it came back , I went to the screen and the setting for iCloud contact was back to on. The contacts were still not there. My mail was still not working. I turned mail off and on , I received some email but not all as I compared to my iPhone and I tried to send an email it still did not send. I went back to the settings iCloud and turned contacts off again, I answered leav on iPad again and this time left it like that for an hour and had the same results.

  • My contacts have disappeared of my iPhone 4 after I tried a backup to iCloud. Can I recover these ?

    My contacts have disappeared of my iPhone 4 after I tried a backup to iCloud. Can I recover these ?

    Backups do not cause contacts to disappear.
    Why do you believe this has occurred?
    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service like iCloud/Exchange.

  • ICloud Group contacts disappeared after upgraded to Windows 8.1.

    After upgrading to Windows 8.1 received message "The set of folders cannot be opened.  The information store could not be opened."  When opening the iCloud contacts in Outlook 2010.  I performed the fix of signing out of the iCloud control panel and back in to resolve the above error message and was able to access my addresses.  However, all of the iCloud Group contacts disappeared from Outlook and from iCloud.  Is there any way to restore the iCloud contacts back to a point when the Group contacts still existed.

     Hi @Tomhum2010 ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY 14t-1200 CTO Beats Edition Notebook PC and issues after an Windows 8.1 update. I recommend to restore the BIOS defaults.You could restore the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings which should resolve the fan issue.
    Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system. If the drivers are not updated this could cause this same issue.
    If that does not help at the end of the document it shows you to do a hardware test.
    Please note remove any and all USB devices before troubleshooting. Disconnect all non-essential devices
    Hope this helps you out.
