My contacts are not syncing from icloud to my pc and iphone

Question

Though my iphone has all my contacts listed only of few of those contacts show in my icloud contacts and my outlook contacts.  Can anyone help me to fix this problem?  I thank you, in advance, for your assistance.

Just to confirm, if you go to https://www.icloud.com/ and sign in with your appleID and password, do you see all of your iphone contacts in the icloud?  Also, on your iphone settings, under iCloud you have iCloud setup to synch your 'contacts' set to 'on'?  Make sure you are running the latest apple iOS too under General/Software Update (5.0.1).  If you use iTunes to synch info with your phone, I would disable 'synch contacts with outlook' as it's not required any longer. When your phone is plugged into the PC, you will notice that setting by clicking on your phone under 'devices' on left and then going to the 'info' tab at the top, first setting.
I have Outlook 2007, in the left sidepane, you should see a "contacts" button, select it. Up at the top on the left side you should see "My Contacts" where your old outlook contacts are stored (the default contacts) and now below that you should see "contacts in iCloud" where your iphone contacts were synched to Outlook.  Additionally, from the menu you can select Tools/Address Book..  There you should see all your contacts in the various address books. There is a drop down where you can select a particular address book, such as "iCloud" or the default "Contacts". These are two seperate address books, only one is synched to your phone/icloud.
Hope this helps.. frustrating these issues can become.
