Sim card wont sync to iCloud

Apparently, I have a bunch of contacts on my SIM card instead of in my iCloud contacts. When I try to Sync via the phone, nothing happens. The default contacts list is the iCloud. I'm not sure how they got on the SIM card to begin with. Why won't they sync to iCloud?

When I go to my phone and click on Contacts, then at the top click on Groups, I have four choices: Show All Contacts; All iCloud; All Facebook; All on my iPhone (sim card).
By Default, all new contacts should be saved to iCloud but apparently a few of them were saved to My iPhone (sim card) and they do not sync with iCloud so that I have them on all other devices.
When I went to Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendars then scroll down to Contacts and "Import SIM Contact", I tell it to sync with iCloud. it then SAYS that it's "Synching with iCloud" but it doesn't.

TS3999 My Outlook Calender wont sync with iCloud/iPad/iPhone?

My Outlook Calender wont sync with iCloud/iPad/iPhone? despite doing everything as per the support page. I keep on clicking the Add in but it wont "take"?
It use to, but no matter what I try nothing works. Using Windows 7. HELP!

This step is not clear:
"Open a secure website to see if you can access ports 80 and 443. Outlook requires access to port 443 to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Contacts servers."
The link takes me to an Apple page but which has nothing to do with ports. And there is nothing to explain what it is I am looking for, how to look for it, and how to change it if needed.
Also, this step:
"Open the iCloud Control Panel and make sure that you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices."
iCloud automatically set up a "[email protected]...." account for me so I see that one plus my original email used to open my Apple account. And the apple products show my settings under both identities.
Make sure the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active within Outlook
This add-in is disabled because it doesn't allow Outlook to function properly.
Thanks!

Can i change my existing sim card on my iphone 4 with a completely new sim card, without losing information, icloud info etc?

Getting a completely new sim card but same network this week. I have an iPhone 4. Once i receive the new sim card, will my photos, music, contacts etc still be there with the new sim card in the iphoine? Will my icloud be the same etc? How would i transfer it over if i have to? or will nothing change ? thanks

Yes, you can change your sim card and not lose pictures, etc. The only thing the sim card holds is carrier settings. That said, just to make sure you are completely safe, backup your phone before you replace the sim. If anything goes wrong (it shouldn't), you'll have everything in your backup.

IPhone wont sync with iCloud???

Hi all....Can anyone help???
I have set up iCloud and it seems to work fine EXCEPT for the fact that I cannot get it Outlook to sync with my iphone? I am using Outlook 2010 Pro...and iphone 5s.
If I make a change on my phone calendar it does not sync the new event? If I make a change in Outlook on my PC, it does not sync to the phone.
Heres the twist....Changes, additions or deletion of CONTACTS either from my phone or my PC, work PERFECTLY.
I had the cloud page open in one window and outlook in another. I made a Contact change in outlook and watched the change take effect in the cloud within a few seconds. Also I made a change to CONTACTS on my phone and also within seconds the change happened in the cloud and in outlook just like it should....
ITS ONLY CALENDAR changes that dont work?
Can someone help?
Thanks

Hey there smginoz,
It sounds like your iCloud calendar is not syncing to Outlook and neither is your Outlook syncing to iCloud. I would use the Outlook troubleshooting from the following article to help you resolve the issue:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3999
Troubleshooting on Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Outlook)
If you're having trouble with iCloud Calendar on a PC (with Outlook 2007 or later), try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved.
Note: iCloud Control Panel does not support Outlook 2010 Personal Edition. When using iCloud Control Panel 2.0 and later, iCloud Calendar event descriptions in Outlook 2010 do not support text formatting (bold, italics, or underline), HTML, images, or attachments. The contextual menu (right-click) has also been disabled.
Verify that you are using a Windows configuration supported by iCloud.
Make sure that your computer is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in Outlook. Learn about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
Open a secure website to test if ports 80 and 443 are accessible. Outlook requires port 443 access to iCloud to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Calendar servers.
Verify that your iCloud member name is entered into the iCloud Control Panel window. Learn about setting up iCloud on Windows.
Close and reopen the iCloud Control Panel.
Make sure that iCloud is not your default account in Outlook:
In Outlook 2013 and 2010, select File > Info > Account Settings > Data Files. If iCloud is listed as the default account in the Comments column, select a different account and click Set as Default.
In Outlook 2007, select File > Data File Management > Data Files. If iCloud is listed as the default account in the Comments column, select a different account and click Set as Default.
If you recently made changes in Outlook and they are not updating on your other devices or vice versa, click the Refresh button in Outlook.
If needed, there are additional steps to try within the article.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

If iphone is BNIB on a different network can i insert my sim card before syncing to itunes to unlock (not jailbreak).

I am looking at buying an iPhone from eBay as my O2 contract is pretty good and I don't want to lose this. I read somewhere that a Brand new in box iPhone is sim unlocked already even though it was from a vodafone or 3 contract. So as long as I put my current sim in before I sync to iTunes all should work smoothly. But it does need to be BNIB as an unwanted upgrade from the carrier.
The reasons I am looking to do this is mainly down to:
1) my contract being unlimited data allowance which 2 different people from O2 have told me that I can use with my new iPad 2 wifi with the portable hotspot app.
2) If I buy an iPhone through O2 I will lose my current contract and still pay a good £300+ for a new iPhone 4 and be stuck with a 1gb data limit. (Last month I used 3gb).
Any help lads / lasses?

I read somewhere that a Brand new in box iPhone is sim unlocked already even though it was from a vodafone or 3 contract.
That is incorrect. iPhones sold by the carrier are, except in countries where locking is illegal or otherwise not done, locked to the carrier. The carrier may offer unlocking services, but often only for the original contract holder. I would strongly suggest caution when considering this iPhone or any from eBay; it's highly likely that is was jailbroken to unlock it (making it not "new in the box") and would lock back to the original carrier when the OS is upgraded or restored.
If you want an unlocked iPhone, the safest route is to purchase from Apple, which is to the best of my knowledge the only official source for unlocked iPhones in the UK.
Regards.

After ios7, Calendar app wont sync in icloud unless i add an event?

Hi Everyone,
On my iphone 5, after updating to ios7, my calendar app is not syncing with my wife's 4s, unless I add a new event. Only after I create a new event to the calendar, it suddenly downloads everything that my wife put into hers. Before we updated to ios7, it automatically updated our calendars within 1/2 hour of anythign being added or changed. She is not having this issue on her 4S, hers updates immediately any time I make changes from my end.
We really depend on this app to keep track of work days, appts, etc, so any help would be great!
Thanks!

Iphone 5 wont sync with icloud so i only have information from May 2012 from manual back up rather than from icloud?

I had an iphone4 which i synced before i converted to the new iphone 5.
When the iphone 5 has switched over i only have information from may 2012 which is before i changed over to icloud and was my last manual back up.
How do i get the info from my icloud on to my new iphone 5?

the version im using is 10.7.5
im not sure what you mean by you second statement. when i open those application on my macbook its on my macbook but when i sign into icloud. i have those option selected.
maybe my problem is im using the wrong ID...... lol.

My iphone 4s wont sync to icloud

I just bought a new iphone 5. Seems everything synced except pictures. My 4s icloud isnt uploading so how can I get my pics??

If you want all the songs from an artist on your phone you can to to the artist view, tap on the artist, scroll to the bottom of the list and you will see a Download All button. This works for playlists and albums too (scroll to the bottom and tap the Download All button). I suppose if you wanted all your music on your phone you could create a smart playlist in iTunes on your computer that would contain all your music, upload it to iTunes match (Store>Update iTunes Match), and then you would get a Download All button at the bottom of this playlist on your phone to download all your songs.

TS3988 my information wont sync with icloud

Private Fields on me card not respected with iCloud sync

I have set certain fields on my Me card as private (not to be shared.) When my me card is synced to icloud and back down to my iPhone my iPhone does not respect the private fields when sharing my Me card from that device. The fields are respected when shared from my laptop.
I've been sharing private data with my customers that I expected to remain private. How can I fix this?

Yes, clearly post iCloud, QuickSync cannot 'see' the contacts list.
However, here's my question: is it possible to put a duplicate set of contacts where they used to be stored on the local Mac prior to iCloud? Then QS would see them and import them?
They could always be deleted afterwards if they caused a duplicate set to appear in Address Book for any reason.
Obviously this is a bit of a kludge as it won't get updated as you add/delete from Address Book. But I'd settle for my 500 contacts being at least transfererd! I could put up with repeatign this workaroudn occasionally.
Thoughts?

Apple IE DEV has stopped working! My Photos wont sync

Hello folks,
I keep getting a box pop up when ever I start up my computer.
It says 'Apple IE DEV has stopped working'
My my Photos wont sync throu icloud. I have tried doing a search through google to help but nothing is coming up. I dont even use Internet Explorer, i use Chrome.
Can anyone help me please
Many thanks.
Hope to hear from somone soon.

Well I think I may have kicked this into life.
Here are the steps that I followed:
[Important] Backup your bookmarks, I use IE, so I exported them to a bookmarks.htm file for safe keeping. (I also deleted my Cookies and temporary Internet Files, just for good measure)
Uninstall iCloud control panel
Reboot your PC
Once rebooted. Go to your user profile area, Favorites. Delete all your bookmarks under Favorites. (C:\Users\<yourusername>\Favorites\..)
Download the latest iCloud control panel from Apple. v3.1.0.40 was what I downloaded. Save the exe, don't run it yet.
Right click the iCloudSetup.exe and Run As Administrator.
Reboot
Login, open the iCloud Control Panel. Sign in with your apple ID.
I am only syncing Bookmarks. So tick Bookmarks. Options->tick Internet Explorer. Click OK.
Click Apply.
If you then browse (using Windows Explorer) to C:\Users\<yourusername>\Favorites\.., within seconds you should see your Bookmarks appear, downloaded from iCloud. Check with your iPhone/iPad to see if they match up.
This has worked for me so far, and there are no AppleIEDav errors (yet).
WARNING: if you currently sync your photostream, AND you sign-out of iCloud Control Panel, or if you uninstall it, I'm not sure what effect it will have the photostream on your PC. So please be cautious.
