Why won't icloud merge or backup all my contacts?

Why won't icloud copy all my contacts in Outlook? Some are backed up and merged some aren't!

I had similar problem. This worked for me, hope it helps:
In Mail
Open Preferences>Accounts
Select Advanced tab for the iCloud account
Set Authentication to 'Apple Token'
The Password field on the Account Info tab should now have disappeared.
Mail no longer asks for password every time it launches.
(now i just have to solve why mail launches an upgrade dialogue every single time it opens and then proceeds to try and re-download about 25,000 emails...)
Why the Authentication method suddenly switched when I upgraded ML to Mav who knows, but it seems incredible that no-one at Apple came across this, it's one of their prime apps.
In fact, since upgrading to Mav I've had numerous system wide problems with my iCloud accounts not connecting properly or stably - what on earth are the thousands of engineers at Apple doing?

Brand new to Mac, does TM backup all users files, even when not logged on?

Hi Im brand new to Mac so please be gentle with me!!
Im about to use TM for backup, I have an account and have made one for my wife, as we both have an iPod and so Ive herd its easier to use 2 accounts.
She wont be logged on much, so if when Im logged on does TM backup the whole HDD, rather than just the user that is logged on?
if not how does it work to backup everything? do you have to keep logging on?
cheers

I have no idea what question the Apple person THOUGHT he was answering, but Time Machine backs up changes for everything in /Users (i.e., for all accounts) whether or not an account happens to be logged in at the moment. Just tested and confirmed.
THE TEST:
My Powerbook has an Admin account a Standard account and the Leopard Guest account.
I Restarted the machine, logged in as the Admin account, and turned off System Preferences / Time Machine. I then created a Text Edit file on the Desktop.
In Time Machine I verified that this file was visible in the current view of the Desktop but not in the immediately prior backup.
I then logged out of the Admin account and logged in as the Standard account.
I turned on System Preferences / Time Machine and did a Back Up Now. I then turned off System Preferences / Time Machine again to insure no further backups might happen.
Of course the Standard account can't see into the Time Machine backups of the folders from the Admin account, so I logged out of the Standard account and logged in again as Admin.
Looking in Time Machine, I now see the Text Edit file both in the current view of the Desktop and in the backup just completed by the Standard account.
I turned System Preferences / Time Machine back on, and deleted the test file. Looking again in Time Machine, the test file is no longer in the current view of the Desktop, it IS in the immediately preceding backup (the one that the Standard account initiated), and is not in the backup prior to that.
END OF TEST
This makes perfect sense since the file system event logs don't care whether a user is still logged in. Nor would a Deep Traversal backup care.

HT1175 Time machine backups are extremely slow after Mavericks upgrade. Why is this happening?

How can I speed up time capsule backup in mavericks?

I can suggest a few things to try but I am yet to see a solution.. I am not prepared to move to Mavericks until a couple of revisions fix the beta standard of some of these things. TM in particular seems to have badly suffered.
Are you using wireless? Especially double hop wireless with the TC as the extend.. don't!!
Use ethernet direct to the TC and turn off wireless.. see if that helps.
Otherwise I reckon until Apple get an update use a local usb disk plugged into the computer and don't try and use TM to network drive. Or if you still want to use the network drive use something like CCC which should be fine under Mavericks since it is a much more robust software. (without lots of bells and whistles.. but functional).

After installing Firefox 4 Beta, videos on Youtube do not play at all and the only thing that shows up is a black screen. Why is this happening?

I don't know what the problem is. I installed the new update plug-in for Flash and it's still not working. I don't know what do do next.

No, that's not it. I tried both ways: 64-bit flash plugin, with Firefox in 64-bit mode. Latest 32-bit flash plugin with flash in 32-bit mode. No go.
I see the first frame of the video. Video does not update except in chunks, portions of the screen, every few seconds. Sometimes there is no audio.
Curiously, other video sites, such as vimeo, are fine. Also, some embedded youtube videos on other sites are also fine. But the problem is consistently there on youtube.com.

How can I transfer my contacts, calendar items, notes etc. from one apple-id to another?

I moved from DK to the US and now I have created a US-apple-ID. How do I transfer all my contacts, calendar items, notes etc. from my DK-apple-ID to my new US-apple-ID?

Hey kristina rivera!
You will first want to export your contacts from iCloud using the following article:
iCloud: Export contact information as a vCard
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
You will then want to log in to her iCloud account, then import the vCard file that had been exported from your iCloud account:

Hi, im not able to backup all ma contact to my icloud using my iphone 3gs. only 290 out of 600 contact gets backup in icloud, though i hav enough memory. How to fix it ?? I want to transfer my contacts from 3gs to 5s

Hi, im not able to backup all ma contact to my icloud using my iphone 3gs. only 290 out of 600 contact gets backup in icloud, though i hav enough memory. How to fix it ??

I have had similar issues backing up to iCloud. Thy only thing I have found to work every time is backing up to iTunes and then doing a restore to my new device. That includes iPhone 6.

Will entering my iCloud now overwrite all my contacts, calendar, etc from a fresh phone that's been in use since the 5s release?

When I first purchased the phone the gentleman, just activated my phone handed it to me and that was it. Blank empty bran new iPhone 5s iOS 7 activated. I was stupid enough not to enter my iCloud info immediately but on that day we were rushing around to find the iPhone 5s in stock anywhere Apple had them for my brother so iCloud became a second concern.
But now I'm stuck with the problem of that the phone has collected contacts, pictures, mail, bookmarks, since the release date. I recently updated to 7.0.4 through iTunes I setup as a new phone, as it was the first time hooked into a computer. It took my AppStore account and found a old iCloud account associated with it that I don't use. I told the update not to use iCloud, even though it entered in all the info. I was able to delete this info and I'm back to the sign up in settings for iCloud.
If I were to enter in the right iCloud information now will it purge the data on this phone that's collected data or will it just simply merge the phone and whats on iCloud like the contacts, calendar events, reminders, notes? I have important things that I've collected on my phone and I do not want to lose it.
Will iCloud overtake the phone or will it merge what's on my phone now with what's on the iCloud account to bring them together?
Thank you,
Brandon

Maybe I should just backup this phone before trying merge everything from my icloud with what's on my phone. I just can't lose the data on this phone I've collected. I just want my iPad and iPhone back to the way they always were with icloud.

I Have a new iPhone 6 and my contacts, calendar and notes won't sync between my imac, macbook air, iCloud. The three are fine, but the data won't reach my new iPhone 6. OS Yosemite, iOS 8.1.1

I Have a new iPhone 6 and my contacts, calendar and notes won't sync between my ipad air, imac, macbook air, iCloud. The three are fine and they sync OK...but the data won't reach my new iPhone 6. OS Yosemite, iOS 8.1.1
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi vichochile,
If you are having an issue with syncing your new iPhone with the information that is in iCloiud (and on your other devices) we should make sure that iCloud is set up correctly on the iPhone. See this page for directions -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Address book of my mac does not show all my contacts in iphone. What do i do??

Address book of my mac does not show all my contacts in iphone. What do i do??

iCloud, which replaced MobileMe, requires OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher. You will need to upgrade to OS X Lion higher in order to set up iCloud on your Mac. First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.
Lion system requirements 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
Mountain Lion and Mavericks requirements are the same, as listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
If you can run Mavericks, you can download a free upgrade from the Mac App Store. If your system can only run Lion, you can go here to purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store. If you prefer Mountain Lion for software compatibility reasons, you can go here to purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store.
After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
Before upgrading, you may want to check the compatibility of your existing applications by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table. Also be aware that older PPC programs such as AppleWorks and Office 2004 for Mac will not run on OS X Lion or higher.

My contact list does not show all my contacts.

My contact list does not show all my contacts. If I keypad a number not shown in the contacts it does know who that contact is. What can I do to show all contacts? I have 352 contacts in the phone.

Do you have different Groups for contacts? For example, perhaps you have some contacts stored on the device, some associated with a Yahoo account, and others associated with an Exchange account. If you have multiple groups like this, tap the "Groups" button at the top-left corner in Contacts and see if you're looking at only a subset of your contacts. There is an option to view "All Contacts", which summarizes them all for you.

I lost all my contacts. How do i restore my phone from an icloud backup?

I lost all my contacts. How do i restore my phone from an icloud backup?

I tried to restore from the cloud today after my contacts disappeared. I went to Settings-ICloud-Contacts and turned off my contacts. Now the phone is stuck on "Turning off contacts." Apple wants my serial number, etc., to help, but I can't get that info from my phone because....it's stuck on "Turning off contacts!" I really hate IOS 7.

Time Machine does not backup all of my files

Hi,
If I compare my Dropbox folder to what Time Machine backups there are differences which means that Time Machine does not backup all files:
diff <(cd "/Users/phil/Dropbox" && ls -R | sort) <(cd "/Volumes/TimeMachineBackup/Backups.backupdb/Computername/Latest/Macintosh HD/Users/phil/Dropbox" && ls -R | sort)
There are also differences if I compare my user folder to the Time Machine Backup:
diff <(cd "/Users/phil/" && ls -R | sort) <(cd "/Volumes/TimeMachineBackup/Backups.backupdb/Computername/Latest/Macintosh HD/Users/phil/" && ls -R | sort)
I did not exclude the folders affected from the Time Machine backup.
I have verified this behaviour on other computers as well.
Does anybody else have this kind of problem?
Philipp

These commands solved the problem for now:
1) Stop the Dropbox desktop application (if needed)
- Click on the Dropbox icon.
- Choose Quit/Stop/Exit
2) Open your Terminal app (Located at /Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
3) Copy and paste the following lines into the Terminal, one at a time, and press RETURN after each one. PLEASE make sure you copy and paste these commands (don't type them by hand), as getting them wrong could cause some harm. You'll be prompted for your computer user's password (not your Dropbox password) after entering the first command. Keep in mind that the password field in the terminal will remain blank as you type your password. After you type it, just press ENTER.
sudo chflags -R nouchg ~/Dropbox ~/.dropbox ~/.dropbox-master
sudo chown "$USER" "$HOME"
sudo chown -R "$USER" ~/Dropbox ~/.dropbox ~/.dropbox-master
sudo chmod -RN ~/.dropbox ~/Dropbox ~/.dropbox-master
chmod -R u+rw ~/Dropbox ~/.dropbox ~/.dropbox-master
