Outlook contacts up to icloud

How do you get outlook contacts from a pc up to icloud, I have downloaded the windows for icloud, I can only see that you can places photos up to the drive, please.... there has to be an easy way, I even went to the apple store and did a 1hr basic icloud training and they were not 100% sure how to do it either and rec to download windows for icloud... but where do I go know.. thank you in advanced

Thank you, pvonk, for responding.
1. I'm about to show my ignorance about computers: Your first two sentences seem to me to be completely contradicting each other...so I have no clue what you were trying to tell me there. Sorry.
2. I have no contacts in iCloud, yet. In the Help, it said it "pushes" contacts to Outlook automatically. I took that to mean that, unless there was some way to tell it not to, any modifcations I made to contacts in my iPhone would (if I used iCloud to backup my iPhone) would end up also changing my Outlook contacts. So I haven't yet told my iPhone to send its contacts to iCloud.
3. I currently do back up my iPhone Calendar to iCloud. (I don't use the one in Outlook anyway...didn't care what happened to Outlook Calendar). So far, it doesn't seem to change my Outlook Calendar...not sure why not, it is supposed to...but it gave me hope that there was a way to also not mess with Outlook Contacts???

Why don't you just install the iCloud Control Panel on your PC and let iCloud do it for you?

Syncing Outlook contacts/calendars to iCloud? Back up .pst file first!

I see many people are having issues with losing calendars and contacts, or getting duplicates, when turning on iCloud "sync to Outlook" option. Suggestion, if you haven't already messed things up - save a renamed copy of your Outlook (2007 or 2010) "outlook.pst" file (or whatever .pst file holds your personal Outlook data) BEFORE you start. In a worst case, you can always turn iCloud off and replace the .pst file with the backup, and you will have your calendar and contacts (as of that date) as they were. (Outlook account settings - Data Files - Open File Location).
I have managed not to need it yet, but glad I have it. I still have occasional Calendar items disappearing from Outlook - work shifts, not good! Hopefully Apple will make this easier! Great when it works!

HT204150 I am trying to synch my outlook contacts only to Icloud.

When I open the Icloud control panel in my Windows 7 I do not get a tickbox option for contacts. Instead I see tickboxes only for photostream and bookmarks. Where I would expect to see tickboxes for say contacts or calendar ( as seen in the Apple website instructions ) all I see is one icon that covers contacts, calendarrs and reminders with text saying " contacts, calendars and reminders are available at "Icloud.com" This links to my Icould account and seems to work between my iphone and the cloud. How do I link this synching to outlook as well if there is no link to tick

You need to plug it in to iTunes. Once it starts working again, back up the old iPhone to iCloud then go to iCloud in settings. Turn on contacts then you get them back. Another option is to back up to iTunes with the old one, then on the new one, go on iTunes, click restore backup, and choose the old iPhone. I suggest using icloud. Hope it helps!

Outlook Contacts to iCloud

My boss imported all of his outlook contacts to his icloud contacts. I need to make groups for him and apple told us we have to do that through icloud on my pc. icloud won't drag and drop contacts to the group - the error message reads that this action is not supported by the browser. I have tried google chrome, internet explorer, and safari and am having no luck. The webpage also locks up as soon as I get in there and try to drag and drop. Can anyone help me solve this problem?

Yes, you can though that will be by means of an additional program called “Akruto”! It’s similar to iTunes app however the difference is that using “Akruto” you’ll be able to sync your Outlook contacts to iCloud.

New iphone 4 outlook contact updates not syncing to phone since i downloaded icloud

Just purchased my first iphone after only using Androids or Blackberry, from Verizon. At the store they helped me set up itunes on my laptop to sync my Outlook Contacts and Calendar to the phone.
It seemed to be working fine until I was offered the opportunity to download iCloud. Now the calendar entries on my computer still transfer to the phone but the contacts are not transferring. When I went back to Verizon to ask...they suddenly have amnesia and told me to contact Apple.
In settings under iCloud I have Mail, Contacts, Calendars all set to "On". I can't see anything else that should be on.
Any suggestions?

I'm having the same problem with one of my apps. I'm just going to wait it out and I feel fairly confident that this issue will clear itself up in time on its own. If not, I'm just going to delete the app...the app is I Say Free so no big whoop.

How do I transfer contacts from the icloud to my outlook address book on my Windows 7 pc?

I am wanting to transfer contacts from the icloud to my outlook email address book, could anyone help me on how to do this?

Install iCloud for Windows, then turn Contacts on (and any other services you desire)

Outlook Contacts do not sort correctly under iCloud

I have recently started mucking around with iCloud (after the unfortunate discontinuation of MobileMe...).
I use MS Outlook 2007 on my PC (Windows 7 64-bit) for my Contacts, Calendar & Tasks. Untill recently, I was syncing my Outlook Contacts & Calendar with my iPhone (latest iOS) via iTunes. All was working fine.
A couple of days ago, I installed the iCloud Control Panel on my PC and gave it a go to see what will happen to my Outlook setup. I enabled just the Contacts in order not to stray out too far...
Once done, iCloud took all the contacts from my personal folder in Outlook and moved them to a new iCloud folder. So now, I have two different Contact folder, the iCloud dedicated one (which is fully populated) and the other one is the one previously used (which is stored in my local .pst file and now empty).
All syncing to the iCloud seems to be working OK - I checked my contacts from the www.icloud.com and they are all there.
The problem I have is withing the new iCloud Contact folder that was created in my Outlook installation. It does not sort my Contacts correctly
I have contacts written both in English and in Greek, depending on where they reside. It seems to get mixed up because of this and mixes up the Greek contacts inbetween the English ones, in a manner that I cannot justify.
Previously when I had all the Contacts in my local .pst file, it was showing the English ones first and then all the Greek ones, both sorted 100% correctly (by the way, this is how it looks as well in my iPhone). I have also enabled an option in Outlook settings which allows me to create a second index for the Contacts in Greek - this creates a second Greek alphabet next to the already existing English one on the right of the Contacts view. None of that seems to have an effect in the case of the iCloud Contacts folder in Outlook, which doesn't sort as it should.
Has anyone come across this issue and is able to offer some assistance?
Regards.

No none, the contacts just do not sort in alphabetical order they should be in. For example I added a name that started with an S but it would not go under the S category of names but rather it would create a new S group at the top of the contact list before the contacts starting in A. The OLD list of names starting with S is still existing and in the right alphabetical order but the new contact would not save under that group but rather as I said in a new group starting with S at the top of the contact list.

HT1296 When synching Outlook Contacts and calendars with iTunes for Windows, I do not get the option to "Synch Contacts with". It says, and cannot be changed, that it is synching with iCloud. How do I get iTunes to give me an option other than iCloud?

Using iTunes for Windows to synch my Outlook Contacts and Calendars into my iPhone 5, with the iPhone Device designated and in the Info tab, I do not have the option to "Synch Contacts with", but have an unchangeable message that it is synching with iCloud. How do I create that option to synch with Outlook?

HT204150 microsoft outlook contacts are not uploading to icloud? how do I get it to upload?

My Microsoft outlook contacts are not uploading to icloud.. how do I correct this ?

I also have this problem, just from the iPhone 5s which makes my life crazy, too.
The problem of having multiple devices doesn't seem to help, but the odd part is when everything I am doing is correct, it still doesn't sync like it used to do before iCloud, and when we had to USB wire connect the iPhone to the Laptop to make contacts sync.
Might I add that I am not using MAIL on my LAPTOP?
but ?Britty sounds like her issue is easier as gmail sometimes can create duplicates so you are in good if you are not having that problem or nightmare...
IF ANYONE ELSE can PLEASE ADD to this THREAD? I would be thankful
as there seems to be a TRENDING on iPhone 5s not syncing with other devices or backwards.....(I have added contacts to the iPhone 5s and they never get added to the iCloud or the iPad or the Addressbook or CONTACTS on the LAPTOP....
This should be working and I have checked the CONTACTS on the laptop GROUPS , iCloud, vs ALL ON MY MAC
it just isn't syncing and in some cases I am getting a WEB DAV error or CAL error...-1
what is that? iCloud will not sync all contacts?
something is crazy
but I want to remain at 10.8 MOUNTAIN LION and not upgrade to MAVERICKS......or use MAIL on my LAPTOP...just CONTACTS ONLY......

Tell iCloud what to sync.
Have you installed the iCloud control panel on the computer? Without that, nothing will sync from the computer to iCloud.

How do i get icloud contacts back into Outlook contacts? My outlook contacts got wiped off in a pst export.
I think i want to tell icloud to sync with Outlook and make icloud the controlling account. NOT outlook to iclout. there are 6325 contacts in icloud. only 12 in outlook. about 10 days ago i had same amount in OL and icloud. i had to restore my computer PC. My iphone is correct. My PC/ Outlook i not. thanks for any help.

Hello Otienogo,
Try the below steps on your iPhone,
Go to settings>iCloud and Login with your Apple Id.
Contacts should be on, click on it to turn it off and choose keep (even if it shows you no contacts)
When the process is done go ahead and turn on contacts again, choose merge. All your contacts should show up if you had a previous backup to icloud.
Hope this helps you.
