ICloud contacts are blank.

My contacts were messed up after activating 4S. I corrected it manually on my desktop but iCloud went viral and kept reverting it back. So I deleted all contacts on iCloud. All my devises are good now but iCloud is a blank. Can you upload to it again?

Try going to settings, iCloud and turn contacts off.  Since your iClouds contact list is empty, keep it. It will confirm you turned it off.
Now turn it back on.  It will ask you if you want to merge the contact list from your desktop with iCloud's.  Answer yes.
Then force an iCloud backup.  Your contacts should appear in the contact list on the iCloud site.
Worked for me. Hope it works for you.

  • My ICloud Contacts are Outdated and bringing me problems ...

    Basically my ICloud Contacts are outdated and I´m losing lots of new contacts that I have on my Iphone 5. I´ve recovered my IP5 Contacts several times by means of intializing my phone but ICloud keeps on bringing me the Old Ones. Is there a way to make the IP5 Contacts the appropriate ones on Cloud.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Double entries are possibly a result of your contacts being listed once as on your mac and again as in iCloud.
    I'd start by making a back up of your contacts. If you have a simple duplication (as suggested above) you could select 'all iCloud' in users and groups, make sure nothing is typed in the search, select the first contact, shift select the last contact (to select all) and delete using the keyboard. If you have something more complicated than a simple duplication you may need to manually sort your contacts until you have a required list. Back up by dragging 'all contacts' from users and groups to your desktop.
    Now disable contact syncing in the iCloud system preference panel and do the same on any other computer or in settings on any other iOS device, delete all contacts from thes other computers or devices.
    Turn on contact syncing in the iCloud system preference panel and opt to merge data, you can now turn on contact syncing on other computers and devices.

  • HT4910 what happens if your icloud contacts are accidently deleted?  How do you retrieve the data?

    What happens if your icloud contacts are accidently deleted?  How can I retrieve that data?

    Everything that was on your classic should also have been in your library, and that backed up to another drive. If you manually managed the device, and it was the only location holding your playlists, and it has become corrupted, there really isn't much hope. See Corrupt iPod classic. There may be a chance to recover media stored on it if is isn't stored elsewhere.

  • ICloud contacts are all gone

    Does anybody know how to get your iCloud contacts back after they are gone. They just vanished on me on all devices and on iCloud.com and I did not delete them. I have turned the iCloud switch on and off again  and restarted my phone. My contact lists on both iOS devices, Macbook, and iCloud.com just disapeared along with my notes. They only thing I still have is my photo stream and email messages.
    Thanks

    You might want to give it some time to see if it's just a server glitch that will correct itself.  Otherwise, you may be able to restore them from your iCloud backup by following Winston Churchill's user tip here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

  • Mail freezes when iCloud contacts are activated

    I have problem with Mail. Since I activated the iCloud contacts mail doesnt function.
    I tried to sign out from iCloud, set it up again but it didn't help, neither repairing disk permissions or clearing cache by ONYX.
    When I tick off the contacts on iCloud under settings, mail starts working fine also by deactivating internet connection.
    Any ideas what could be the solution?
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

  • Cannot add icloud account to Contacts so all my icloud contacts are stuck on the cloud and I can't actually get them on my desktop imac

    So all my devices have my contacts on them from my icloud account.  However on my desktop imac when I go to the Contact application there are none in there.  When I go to the preferences for contacts and try to add the icloud account I get through the login process of user account and password but then nothing else happens, no contacts get added to the imac.  Hmmm.  Now what?

    Yes that is all correct.  Now, I think I know why it isn't working, I just don't know how to fix it.  Several years ago before icloud really was up and going I used dropbox to sync my contacts between my computers.  I suspect that is the problem.  WHen I open Contacts in Maverick on my imac it knows there are vcards somewhere and asks if I want to add them.  I click yes but then it sits there and does nothing.  There is no "Library" file that I can find in Maverick to move that old address book file back to the application support file.  That's what I have to figure out.

  • I am upgrading from an iphone 4 to a 5. All my contacts are stored in icloud. Can they be downloaded onto my new iphone5

    Hi,
    I have an iphone 4S, and being supplied with an iphone 5. I use the icloud to store all my data, can this be downloaded from the icloud to my new phone, or should I store everything on my laptop first?
    Thanks
    JW

    Yes.
    You can transfer the backup for your iPhone 4 to the new iPhone which will include your iCloud account and account settings. Your iCloud contacts are stored in the cloud and will be downloaded by your new iPhone.

  • Address Book Gone Blank though contacts are still in memory

    This last weekend, when i was trying to save a number, my address book became blank. To make my numbers reappear, i had to Option>Sort By and change what I sort by, either to Last or First Name, and then SAVE. My numbers would then reappear temporarily. When I switch application, say go to my inbox, and then go back to the address book, all my contacts are blank again. To make them reappear, I have to change and save the SORT BY option again. I already checked the FILTER option and it's set to PERSONAL. My OS version is 4.2.
    This problem just started  this weekend and I did not download or update anything at all to trigger this bug. 
    I tried to look for a similar thread in the forum, but couldnot find this exact same problem.
    Thanks in advance for any tips.

  • Data in my iMac address book and iCloud contacts do not match.

    The data in my iMac address book and iCloud contacts are different. How can I get my iCloud data to accruately reflect that of my iMac address book? It appears to be an initial synchronization issue. New entries synchronize fine. Appears that initial entries in my Address Book are not showing up in the iCloud Contacts list. Hense, My iPhone coantacts don't match those in my iMac.
    Is there a way to clean out my iCloud contacts on reload/re-sychronize it with my iMac Address Book?

    Nuts isn't it. This seems to have been an issue snce dAY 1.  iT FROSTS ME THAT THERE IS NO SIMPLE QUICK WAY TO UPDATE OR CORRECT the data in both programs simultaneously.. Thats why i decided to just put everytning into the i cloud address brook, and let the one other sit and rot.
    then i got smart and said, why don't I delete the outlookaddress book files. and save on confusion.
    result - both addresses books  and their contents became invisible to outlook.!!!!!! and I can find no way to correct this...to go back to the imperfect world that was.
    I did get the outlook contact s back from an archive - but any thing from icloud has become inaccessible from outlook.  (fortunately i can get the vcard infformation directly from icloud. but I can't access it from outlook mail.... means no replying, forwarding etc - and a time swallowing nuisance..

  • Some iCloud contacts do not display on the iPhone

    I have an iPhone and iPad.  Recently I exported my companie's contacts from Lotus Notes to a vCard and successfully imported them to my iCloud contacts.  When I sign in to iCloud on my PC all contacts show up, the number of contacts matches exactly.  When the iPad is used and only iCloud contacts are selected to synch, all contacts show up as expected.  When I do the same on my iPhone, there are about 15 contacts that for whatever reason do not show up.  Anyone ever had an issue like this?  Sounds like it could be some issue on the iPhone since the iPad is able to display all the contacts.
    I have a iPhone 5s and iPad mini, both with iOS7.1.

    Thank you for your response.  I guess I should have indicated the things that I have already tried .  I have already attempted this step couple of times on the iPhone.  I also deleted the iCloud account on the iPhone and added it back on.  None of those things had any effect.  I guess the next thing I could try is backup>full reset.

    Group on this formula:

    This will group numerically 1 through 12.
    Then simply DISPLAY the month name in your group header using this formula:
