Newbie to iPhone with iCloud syncing issue

I am brand new to the iPhone and to iCloud and I am having some trouble. I created about 30 contacts, on my phone, before finding out that you can actually go to icloud.com and create them there. I went to icloud.com and did a "backup", from my phone, of my contacts, expecting them to be on the icloud.com website, so I could add additional information, as well as finish creating my complete contacts list.
Long story short, although I have contact backup to iCloud as "on" and have everything else selected, NONE of my contacts, calendar, notes, anything, appears on the icloud.com website. What am I doing wrong? Can someone please help me?
If it matters, this is on an iPhone 5C, iOS 7.0.1, and I am accessing the iCloud site on a Windows 8 PC.
Thank you! Any help or tips is greatly appreciated.

Check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) again to make sure your iCloud ID is selected. If it is, go to Settings>iCloud turn Contacts off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then after a minute or so, turn it back on. Then try adding a contact again to see if it goes to icloud.com. If it doesn't, then your options are either to try restoring your phone (if you do, be sure to back it up first) or making an appointment with the Genius bar at a nearby Apple store as something is clearly wrong.

Syncing iPhone with iCloud - Music issues

I have all my iTunes music on my new iPhone but I can't get the music to show up in the iCloud. Any ideas?

depends if you live in a country that supports free-of-charge itunes re-downloads.
It is not available everywhere due to copyright issues with the Music and Film industry.
your music on your device is not syncing or uploading anywhere. If any, there is this re-download option from within the idevices itunes store. See above, not for everyone.

ICloud Sync issues between iPhone and MacBook

I have a peculiar problem. I have iCloud turned on for Contacts, Calendar and Notes between my iPhone 6P and my MacBookPro running OS X 10.10.2. If I make a change or add an entry on the MBP, it does not show up on the iPhone until I make a change to something on the iPhone, then the iPhone changes go to the MBP, and the MBP changes then, and only then, appear on the iPhone.
I have the same iCloud account on both devices. Very confused. (I have not done anything regarding Family Sharing, and I do have the iCloud drive turned on.)
Any clues?

Is there an issue with iCloud syncing on iWork apps?

I thought everything was ok with iCloud syncing but I seem to now have issues.
I created a spreadsheet under Pages on my iPad (3rd Gen) and, after pressing the 'spreadsheet' button to show thumbnails of all docs being worked on, I'm seeing a small arrow pointing upwards on the thumbnail. Before, I used to see a progress bar updating in the thumbnail (which I presume is updating to iCloud).
Now? Nothing. The arrow stays and nothing is updated on my iPhone 4. In fact, a previous version of my spreadsheet is shown on my iPhone with the same upwards pointing arrow but with the whole thumbnail 'greyed out'. I can't even open it on the iPhone to delete it!
Is this a know issue and are there any fixes? I've tried the usual turning iCloud off and on for both devices but this has not had any effect.

This is ridiculous!
I have now established that there are issues with Pages, Numbers and Keynote documents!!! They surely cannot all be corrupted?
I have managed to salvage an important Numbers Document which I have copied in to iTunes (and subsequently on to my external HD).
To try and rectify the situation I have then turned off iCloud on all 3 apps on both my iPhone 4 and iPad and deleted all documents under each app. I have then gone on to iWork under iCloud and deleted all documents off there (some of which I noted were not the up-to-date documents I had been working on in iOS). I had to turn off iCloud regardless to delete a couple of the documents on my iPhone (under all 3 apps) as some documents were greyed out (see original post) and could not be deleted. As soon as iCloud was disabled it enabled me to remove off the local device.
Having switched iCloud back on to my iPhone and iPad (and bearing in mind I had deleted all documents off both iOS devices and in iCloud) the greyed out thumbnails re-appear (and cannot be deleted or altered!!!!)
Anybody? Aaaaarrrrrrgggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!

My wife has a new Ipad and Iphone with icloud. We also have a Imac that has not been upgraded yet that is somehow syncing with her ipad and screwing up the apps. Is there anyway to prevent this. Maybe it is thru mobilme?

I think iCloud isn't coming until this fall and not until iOS 5 is publicly available. Right now there is confusion because all this stuff is still in beta and things are under NDA and may still change.
I'd just set the 3GS up the same as currently. When iOS 5 is available in the fall (and I don't think Apple has specified beyond "fall"), before you update, there should be any number of guides to setting things up and how it will all work. http://macworld.com is a good place to look for such information.

Synced iPhone with iCloud. Calender lost?

Synced calender on iPhone with iCloud. After this all calender items are gone. Have used calender as my primary calender and have not synced it with Outlook or iCal. Do have an backup from a couple of weeks ago.
Is there any way to export or retrieve calender items from iPhone or backup? Have not synced with iTunes since monday because I fear the sync will also destroy the backup on my harddrive.
Have tried to remove the calender from iCloud. Did not work. Also added/removed calenders in different formations from calender settings. Did not work either.
So again: Is there a way to export calender items from backup or restore them from/on the iPhone.
Thanks

Someone PLEASE help! I need a phone number ASAP and I have NO other way of getting this phone number!

Trying to sync iPhone with iCloud.. says too many devices.Remove one

What is the process to remove iOS devices from your iCloud. Trying to sync iPhone with iCloud under the settings and it says too many devices. Remove one.
Thanks

I suspect the message is referring to you having too many devices associated with the Apple ID you are using for iCloud. You can have a maximum of 10 devices associated with an Apple ID, 5 of which can be computers. This article explains how to remove a device from your Apple ID: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627.

OK Vicky, good clues...
See if this helps...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.
Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

If your iPhone does not search for a wi-fi connection before you are asked whether you want to set it up as new phone or restore a backup from iTunes, then I guess you have the same issue as highlighted in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19638850?ac_cid=tw123456#19638850
iCloud back ups can only be accessed via wi-fi that's why you are not granted this option, I have the exact same issue.

Backup to computer first and sync Apps to iTunes first!
Restore in recovery mode will work, be persistent and retry
Recovery restore challenges
- computer didn't detect recovery iphone, attempted and failed 3 times
rebooted computer then recovery restore worked
- recovery restore was successful, unlocked, and iMessage/Facetime, Find My Iphone, ALL WORKS!
Restore from backup challenges
* Make sure you have plenty of harddrive space!
- have to restore first then restore from backup, i did this incorrectly by restoring from backup and the find my iphone feature got stuck forcing me to recovery restore
- each restore from backup attempt will copy the original backup and create another backup folder. My original was about 10gb, so it copied another 10gb onto my computer's harddrive
- when i restore from backup, my computer ran out of space and errored out/failed.
- I tried again to restore from backup then figured out where the backup data folder was and tried to transfer to external harddrive but not quick enough and failed again.
- finally cleared the extra backup data files and restore from backup was successfull
Missing apps from restore from backup
- Downloaded all my missing Apps from APP store
- I have 300+ apps and there are only 15 screen scrolls, have to organize before apps will populate and load, very difficult to organize now. Wished I had sync Apps first.
Conclusion
This process took me literally 20+ hours to correct and will probably take me few more hours to organize the apps into their respective folders...
At least I got everything to work. Hope this helps!

If you are the original owner of the phone and know the Apple ID and password that were used to activate it originally, and if you have an existing backup to restore from, you can force it into recovery mode (which will completely erase it) and restore it as explained here: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support. When you do you will encounter activation lock, and will have to provide the ID and password used to activate it originally in order to activate it again. If you can't, you won't be able to activate and use it.

Why does my phone keep saying "There was a problem deregistering this iphone with icloud?"

Every time I try to restore my phone or completely erase everything on it, a box comes up that says "There was a problem deregistering this Iphone with iCloud." Why is it saying this and how can I fix it?!

Try recovery mode to restore your phone:

There was a problem deregistring this iphone with icloud?

This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
