My i phone is not pushing my contacts to i cloud

my i phone is not pushing my contacts to i cloud

I had the same problem and it baffled me at first too. 
On your iPhone, tap the icon to open the phone app, then tap on contacts at the bottom.  You will probably see a screen that says "untitled groups" at the top and doesn't show any contacts listed.  Tap on the "Groups" arrow at the top left of the screen (Beside where it says "untitled groups").   That should back you up to a screen where you'll see  "All Contacts" and "Untitled Group" listed.  Simply tap on the "All Contacts" and it should take you back to the main contact page with all of your contacts showing.
I'm not sure if this fix needs you to do what Carol Samit recommended above or not (toggling contacts on/off in iCloud settings), as I had done that first and still not had my contacts show up.  Then I discovered the fix I've just described above.
Good Luck, and I hope this helps.

  • My phone is not recognizing my contacts

    Help.  All of my contacts are in my phone.  However, my phone is not recognizing them.  When one of my contacts calls, only the number, not the name, shows up.  Also, my siri won't work with contacts.

    If you are a Verizon user, try this:
    Open the phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
    When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
    Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating "Settings updated."
    Double tap the Home button to bring up the recently used apps list at the bottom.  Locate the Phone, Message, and Contacts apps, swiping if necessary, and press and hold until they jiggle then press the red minus sign to stop them.
    Wait a 3-5 minutes.
    Try your phone again and see if its working now.

  • My iPad does not sync any contacts to the cloud, what can I do?

    The interesting thing is: It receives contacts from the cloud and I can even alter or delete those contacts on the iPad but it simply doesn't sync its own contacts to the iCloud. What can I do???
    Thanks in advance!

    Try using contacts (mac) to drag a contact from one are to another.  I can't test this as I only have the "iCloud" group.

  • Siri says phone number not available for contact

    When I try to have Siri call my wife I am prompted that there is no phone number available for her.  How do I fix this problem?

    Hello,
    I believe I have found a way to fix the problem with Siri not finding a phone number for "Wife", "Mother", "Son", etc.  I went into MY contact information and deleted all related names and then saved my contact card with all the deletions made.  Then, I asked Sire to call, say, "Wife", which there is no way for Sire to know who my wife is without the information being on MY contact.  So, Sire ask, "Who is your wife?", you tell Sire and then Siri asks if you would like that to be noted and you reply "Yes!".
    After you make this first correction you ask Siri to call say, "Wife" again and Siri says, "Calling......" (wife's name).  I have not had any problems with Siri not being able to call a contact that was not related to me, so if this is a problem that some of you may be having I'm not sure how to fix that just yet.  I know of no way to fix a problem that has not occurred yet on my phone!
    Good luck to all and I hope that this has been helpful to a handful of iPhone users?

  • How do I get Photo Stream to only import photos from my phone and not push photos to my phone.

    Hi
    Just purchased an Imac (first time mac user) and imported all my photos from my PC.  I have been using photo stream on my phone and ipad and like it.  The problem is, as far as I can tell, that I have added thousands of photos to the Imac and it now consider those to be new additions.  It is sharing those photos to my phone and Ipad and filling both up very quickly.  Is there a way that I can only stream photos from the phone to Iphoto on my imac and not from the imac to the phone?  I realize that in 30 days, this should correct itself, but for the time being it is a huge hassle.  Im sure there is some setting in iphoto that will alleviate my problem

    If you have a mac....
    launch iPhoto
    click the word "iPhoto" beside the apple, and select "preferences / photo stream"
    what synces, is listed here
    uncheck what you desire, and simply close iPhoto.  It will save the changes
    Also......
    Click the apple / system prefences / iCloud - if you wish to stop "photo stream" completely, you can uncheck it here.

     im trying to find out what problem is and how many and how long as wher i live ther a few old pes with the emegency pendant that work over phone system  so  not good for them me and a fe wother have house larms that are monitored over phone line so not good for us let alone school has no phone or local shop  the best i have i may be wen other have been told thur if lucy by other supplier thios is not even listed on service stas page even live chat was out tonight 
    this is in the  ss17 corigham stanford le hope exchange ares  

    I also live in Corringham and have also the problems you describe, my wife has the pendants as well, which same as you troubled me in case she was not able to call for help should it be needed by either of us.
    I used the BT fault service to report the fault, I have also asked the Mods (NeilO) dealing for some help.
    We now have what may be a temporary repair which is being monitored by NeilO and the line working, NeilO has promised to check again tomorrow with a view, hopefully, to inform  me a complete repair has been made,
    As you np doubt has seen the work being done in this area of gas pipes being replaced, it seems that they are responsible for the break in the cabling, affecting a lot of people.
    I cannot fault BT or the mods for the help I have been given.
    I have also completed a Priority report form, which helps if it is a simple problem in the future, major problems such as those in our area, will take longer.

    On the iPhone open the Calendar app and on the top left conner tap the Calendar button and confirme that the calendars on your iPhone are under iCloud.

    If  they are under iCloud try to toggle off and back on iCloud calendar options.

  • How do I not share my contacts with family memebers?

    I need HELP! I recently update all three of our phones with ios5 and icloud. I was using mobile me before and had and apple id already. All three devices were under the same apple id and I could view them on the same mobile me account, but each phone was seperate in the fact that we each had our own contacts. Now with the new ios5 and icloud we all have the same contacts which is everyone's combined on each phone. So I logged in to icloud and created seperate folders and put each person contacts from the main list into each person's folder I created thinking I could then delete the all contacts folder but if you do that it deletes the contact all together from all lists. I need help! What can I do to get each person's contacts back to their own phones and not have all contacts on each phone that are not needed? Please break it down step by step if you know how I can fix this whether it is turning off icloud on two devices and erasing what they have already duimped on there and creating a new apple id for each of their phones but then how can I get their contacts back on thier phone? so LOST!

    simplest answer i can think of off the top of my head would be to turn off the contacts portion of your icloud(on the device) and use your computer  to create the three contacts folders and likewise synchronize them with their respective devices
    .to do so you will need to create "groups" in the program you use to store your contacts. i.e. google mail account. windows addressbook. outlook 2007 or 2010. or mac addressbook.
    if you dont store them on an external program i suggest you put this on hold and do so immediately.......
    ok so now that your contacts are secure on another program and your contacts are separated into groups(i like to have a shared group including the family contacts that i choose to put on each phone).
    you will then need to connect your device to your computer via usb.
    once your device is recognized by itunes and appears in the source list(the column on the left hand side)under devices. simply click on it.  this will bring you to your synchronization interface.
    at the top of this page you will see a list of tabs i.e. summary, info, apps etc.
    1)go to the info tab.
    2)place a checkmark in the "sync contacts with or sync addressbook contacts " checkbox.
    3) choose your program from the dropdown menu
    4)change the bullet point (the dot in the circle) from" all contacts" to "selected groups"
    5) select the groups you want on the device which is currently connected.
    6)click the apply button in the bottom righthand corner of the itunes window
    sorry i dont have a better answer for you but the service is quite new so i havent had much time to troubleshoot its failures. hope this helps

    Are any of the emails you DON'T receive being received in your Outlook? In other words, is there any correlation between your missing BB emails and those you do receive in Outlook?
    IF you are using Outlook to download your email to your desktop PC, Outlook is likely "deleting" mail from your email server when it downloads it to your PC.
    There is a setting in Outlook to "Leave Messages on Server".
    For MS Outlook 2003:
    1. Outlook > Tools > Email accounts > View or Change existing > next.
    2. Highlight the email account > Change > More Settings.
    3. Advanced Tab > Leave a Copy Messages on Server
    4. Check that box.
    * You will need to perform this edit for each Outlook email account you have.
    Other versions of Outlook have a similar setting although it might located in a slightly different location in the :advanced settings.

  • Can not see the contacts in E63 mobile phone

    Hi,
    I amusing E63 mobile phone. I am not been able to view the contacts in the mobile, so not been able to use the same. But when an incoming call comes in I do get the name resolution of the person calling and his mobile no which is stored in the contacts.
    I tried backing up the mobile and all the time the backup of contacts could not happened and besides Contacts rest all is backed up....
    Pls do let me know how to resolve this issue..
    Thanks in advance...

    Hey  kartik_sh
    Welcome to the forum, your contacts are on the sim card and they will need to be either copied to Contacts on your phone for easy access.
    It is not clear from your description what could be causing this issue, so I will present a couple of possibilities. The first is that the contacts that you cannot see are stored on the SIM card and not in the phone memory, to remedy this you can follow these steps to copy your contacts into the phone memory:
    Menu>Communic.>Contacts>Options>SIM contacts>SIM directory>Options>Mark/Unmark>Mark all>Options>Copy to Contacts
    If this is not the case, and if after selecting Contacts you see the options Go Online and ChatServiceBuddy, it means that the ”Ovi Contacts Chat” service is selected as the default view. This service has been discontinued and replaced by Nokia’s new Chat service powered by Yahoo. You can set your default Contacts view back to the contact information stored in your phone by following these steps:
    •Select Menu>Communic.>Contacts
    •Press the left navigation key to select the central field at the top of the screen, then press the centre of the navigation key to open the menu, and finally select Phone
    •You should now see the contacts stored in phone memory. To make this the default view, select Options>Settings>Default contact list>Phone
    If you are interested in the new Chat application, you can switch the Contacts view back to the Ovi Contacts view, select Go Online and sign in with the same user identity and password that you use to log into this forum. Your phone would then remind you that Ovi Contacts Chat is discontinued and take you through the steps to download and install the new Chat application. We would recommend that you use a WLAN connection for this.
    If the two suggestions above do not resolve your issue, we can investigate further.
    Out of interest, when you say that creating a back-up did not successfully back-up contacts, do you mean that you created the back-up with Nokia Suite and the report displayed at the end of the process indicated an error? If there was no error during the back-up process, it is likely that the back-up was successful and we still need to work out whý the information is not appearing in your phone.
    Let me know if it works 
    Kind regards
    Carl

  • Android phones not sending new contacts to GW

    What are the default folders that should be set to syncing to the phones? I didn't see anything in the docs, but I could have easily missed that. It used to be that (GWmobile 2 & 3 I think) wanted a folder called "Unfiled" where it sent any contacts created on the phone that were not put into a folder. That doesn't work, with Android at least.
    What it does do, is very strange.
    0. You have two phones hooked into the same email account. In my case, an Epic & a Hero (both Sprint).
    1. Let's say you have two folders set to sync - Unfiled (legacy) and Contacts (because the program seems to want a folder named "Contacts" - if you don't have one it will frequently rename your first syncing folder as "Contacts" on the phone side).
    2. You add a new contact, but are unable to put the contact into a folder (the Sprint Epic, for example, does not allow you to change the folders that Exchange contacts are assigned to evidently - I just received a test model and this "feature" is driving me crazy).
    3. The contact will show up on the other phone, but not in either of the syncing folders in your Groupwise address book. What? Crazy right? No - it's in Frequent Contacts!
    4. Even though you don't have Frequent Contacts set to sync... the contact created on your phone is syncing "via" Frequent Contacts (while the rest of your Frequent Contacts are, thankfully, NOT syncing).
    I'm guessing that Groupwise by default sets contacts with no "folder" attribute to show in Frequent Contacts... or something?
    Anyway. What am I doing wrong here?
    Note: I just verified that it does not matter what folder you put the contacts in (the Hero lets you file them), they still show up in Frequent Contacts and sync to the other phone mostly in the correct folder ("none" on the Hero -> "Not Assigned" on the Epic, "Contacts"->"Contacts" and "Unfiled"->does not sync !?!?).

    >/Contacts/Contacts. Or, worse yet, I don't know what would happen if
    >you created a PAB called Contacts and then tried to edit the Contacts
    >tab to map to this Contacts PAB.
    I skipped some clarification as well. There is another bug, one which I cannot reproduce predictably, but that I have seen a dozen times or so, where the first contact folder you have set to sync (regardless of the name, I've had it happen to "A Architects", "Consultants", "Unfiled", etc.) gets renamed to "Contacts" when sent to the phone. Had this happen on Android & WinMo devices. The original book in GW is fine, but the folder/book on the phone has the label "Contacts".
    Sorry about that - I was referring to the phone and not the tree on Mobility.
    >> 2. You add a new contact, but are unable to put the contact into a

    Well, as I said, I can assign folders on the Hero, but they still don't go to the right place in GW - and they sometimes go to the right place on another phone (they go to Frequent Contacts in GW, or sometimes nowhere). I guess the device could be assigning them in a way not supported by GW? I'm not sure, the ones that get sent down show up exactly like the new ones I create.
    >Yes, default behavior. Novell has an entry in their Bugzilla system to
    >change this. Not sure when that will happen, though. IMO, Mobility
    >should act just like GMS and create its own "Unfiled" PAB for new
    >contacts created which aren't assigned a group/category on the device
    >and sync to that rather than syncing to the FC.
    Seriously. Do people actually use the FC folder? No one here does - it gets filled up with junk so fast it would a) render a phone much less useful and b) seems like it would waste a bunch more server cpu time & disk space with the extra syncing.
    >You may wish to submit an enhancement request on this one, and
    >reference bug 590962 in your ER. The more people that request this,

    OK, I'll have to look into that. I'm new to this whole Novell "support" arena, as this server (& GMS2-3) are the only Novell products I'm responsible for.
    Thanks for the feedback! Is there somewhere that Novell at least has a "known issues" section, or a "features coming in next patch"? I've searched around this site (and googled the net in general) and no luck yet.
    In the mean time, I'll just keep my fingers crossed for patches and continually apologize to my users and reset their phones and contacts on a weekly basis. Which is tons of fun.
