Some contacts missing in icloud

Hi!
I have a weird problem with my iphone 4 contacs. Some of them are missing in icloud. I the iphone device seems everything to okay. But when I checked in the icloud i saw that not everything is there. And yes, I have updated the automatic update in the iphone and I have manually updated the icloud too. This problem i shown since a month ago.
Peace

OKAY, FYI if anyone else is having issues, mine was that I use HOTMAIL and had hotmail contacts sync to ON (settings> mail contancts calendars>hotmail>contacts). So no longer were my contacts being saved to icloud, instead to my email server. Last week hotmail's server went down so my contancts were then missing until the server was back up. I feel like icloud is much safer place for them and will then always be there to sync to other devices so I'm turning my email contact sync to OFF/delete contacts from iphone and then manually put those contacts into my phone or straight into icloud.
Hope that helps someone...

HT204150 Contacts missing from iCloud on PC

Installed Office 2010 yesterday on Inspiron 620, Windows 7. Contacts missing from PC but are in iCloud and showing up on iPad. Checked the icloud, signed off and back on. Still do not show up. Were there before the Office installation. I see iCloud on control panel but not in programs. It showed in programs before ioffice install as well as on control panel. Not sure if it is really still installed because I see it one place but not another. Thanks.

Contacts missing in icloud and Iphone

Just did a backup to icloud for first time and most of the contacts are not on icloud and some are now gone from the phone. What happened and how do I get them all to transfer to icloud.

Sounds like you have some contacts in the From My Mac groups that are not in iCloud; they may have been synced to your phone at some point. On your iPhone, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off and choose Delete from My iPhone. Then check you contacts to confirm that some are still there. If so, check a few against your contacts on icloud.com to confirm they are not on icloud.com.
If you still have contacts on your phone that are not on icloud.com at this point you can add them to iCloud by doing the following:
If you haven't already done so, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, turn Contacts off and choose Delete from My iPhone.
Download the app My Contacts Backup. (If there are 500+ contacts remaining on your phone you will need the Pro version.) Use this app to backup the remaining contacts on your phone as a vCard attachment to an email and send it to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email on your phone.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and confirm this is still set to iCloud.
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the On My Mac groups to iCloud. Go to icloud.com to confirm that they appear there.
If the On My Mac contacts are still on your phone, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts off and choose Delete from My iPhone. Open the My Contacts Backup app, tap the gear-shaped icon the bottom right. In the window that opens, scroll to the bottom and tap Remove All Contacts. Then go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back on. The duplicate contacts from the On My Mac groups should now be gone from your phone and they should all be in iCloud.

Some contacts missing on both iPhone and Outlook since installing iOS 7.1

I have an iPhone 5S which I successfully sync to Outlook 2007 using iCloud, until recently when I upgraded to iOS 7.1. Most contacts are still there on both my PC and iPhone, but as luck would have it, the ones missing are mostly the important ones for my business. I have tried turning OFF and then ON the settings in both iCloud on my PC and also on my iPhone - as I have often seen suggested for this type of problem - but without any success. I have frequently backed-up but they do not appear anywhere and, strangely, they are random from within the contacts list. Can anyone please advise a method of possibly restoring them? Thanks in advance.

Try installing Microsoft Word for iPad and using that instead. It is free to use as a reader and if you want to use with all its editing capabilities, you can pay the Office365 license.

Some contacts missing from address book on my macbook

I was making some groups in the address book application on my macbook and when i went to add a couple of my contacts, i noticed they weren't there even though i just now synced my phone. How do i fully update all my contacts on my phone to the address book?

Thanks for linking your Address Book Accounts Basics (with iCloud). And for all your forum contributions - invaluable!
A possible tip to add is the obscure option key solution to the question: to what groups does the selected contact belong? When the option key is depressed all associated groups are displayed.
On syncing: is there an Applescript or utility that will audit every linked iCloud account, Mac and iOS device for discrepancies between the Contacts databases? I thinking of the simple case like ours, where we want everything stored in the iCloud Account once-only-once, plus whatever Group-ings are useful. Even better - a script or utility that will force synchronization across all our devices and iCloud?
Another useful tip might be: here are all the things you must do to achieve simple syncronycity - everything the same everywhere, no private contacts. That is probably what 99.99% of users want, and it is not documented anywhere. Even Joe Kissel's Take Control of iCloud v1.3 doesn't address this.

Contacts missing from iCloud, iPhone, Macbook, and iPad!

I somehow deleted all my address book contacts off of my Macbook. Since everything is through iCloud, I no longer have any contacts on my iPhone or iPad either. I don't have any time machine back ups on my Macbook (stupid, I know) and iCloud was never backed up on my iPhone. Although, on my iPad I see that there is a backup from the 15th of this month. Is it possible to restore my address book back to that date through iCloud? I’ve already tried resetting the iPad and using the setup assistant to restore from that date and my contacts are still missing! Please help!

Hello Rockstarcasey
If you are using a syncing service to keep your contact on your devices, like iCloud or Gmail, check to see if that service is turned on, You can do that by going to Settings > iCloud, if you are using it, and make sure that it is turned on. If you are using a different service, then go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and select the account that they are associated with and toggle it on.
If you have a back up within iTunes or iCloud, you can restore that back up back to your devices. Keep in mind that when you do that, it will replace what is currently on your iPhone or iPad mini with that back up.

Some Contacts Missing when Texting

If I start from the Contacts App, I can choose any contact and send that contact a text message.
When starting from the Text Messages App, tapping Compose, and trying to add a contact, many of my contacts are missing.
Thoughts?
Solved!

Hello bhbell,
Welcome to the forums.
When you are in the text message application how are you searching for your contact? Are you doing first name, last name, email, phone number etc.. ?

Some contacts missed by sync

I sync 9500 with laptop and pc using v6.6 rel 18 and cable. Each sync the same contacts are missed each time by sync on both machines. They show on both machines but not phone which has 300 less contacts than the computers.
Other than start again, any suggestions. Win2k on desktop and xppro on laptop with Outlook 2003 on both.

doug, your not going to like this.
i had the same problem. i fixed it by deleting the contacts in outlook and then creating them again. for me, it only missed out about 80 contacts so it didnt take long to re-create them. after i did that it worked fine ever since

HT4759 Only some contacts in the icloud. Set iCloud to default, refreshed, still nothing. Running Windows 7 Ultimate

Both iPad and iPhone have all contacts. iCloud only has like half. Please help

Sometimes this trick will work:
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contects section), set this to iCloud.
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted.
Download the app My Contacts Backup. Use this to backup the remaining contacts on your phone (from the other groups) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and turn off contacts syncing with these other services.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On to sync back your iCloud contacts to your phone.
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the other groups back to your phone. They should be added to the iCloud group, and as a result, will sync to iCloud.
You can then decide whether or not to continue to sync contacts with the other accounts to your phone. If you do, you'll see duplicates unless you open contacts, tap groups, tap these other accounts until they are unchecked, then tap Done. They will still be on your phone, but will be hidden from view.

Lost phone numbers from Contacts when syncing icloud ipad iphone outlook

I seem to have lost some contact numbers from icloud, ipad and iphone contacts and wonder if this was a syncing error with outlook to icloud.. can anyone help as these are business contacts. I also use Groups and CJournal on ipad too.

Contacts are not completely backed up as part of the iPhone backup. Only contacts necessary to back up your recent call and favorites lists are backed up, which often won't include all your contacts. (In fact, if the IT person backed up and then restored your phone from backup that may be how he lost many of your contacts.) Also, restoring from backup will revert all settings and data on your phone to those contained in the backup. If you want to try to restore from your backup anyway follow this procedure:
Before connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer, go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent…from syncing automatically"
Now connect your phone to your computer and import your photos to avoid losing any recent photos (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083)
Open iTunes and when your phone appears on the left sidebar, right-click on its name and choose Transfer Purchases (to transfer any recent purchased into your iTunes library)
Right-click on the name of her phone again and choose Restore from Backup, choosing the backup you wish to restore from
When this completes you can go back and re-enable automatic syncing if you prefers this

Contacts ok on mac & iphone, but missing in icloud

Something strange happened. My contacts on Mac and iPhone are the same but on the icloud website some are missing. I think the most recent added after I updated to Mountain Lion are missing. But I am not 100 percent if this did not already happen before.
So contacts created on the mac show up on the iphone but NOT on the icloud site
Contactes created on the iphone show up on my mac but not on the iphone website
And groups to which I added contacts on the mac show up twice on my iphone, one old group with the contact not added and one new group with the contact added. On my mac I have only one version of that group.
On the iphone website the group is the old one with no added contacts.
Any idea what to do except back up frequently and archive my contacts every day?

I'd wait. iCloud (or parts of it) seems to be down today (check the other icloud forums for more posts on email problems). Perhaps your problem is due to the down servers. The day may come back - check for posts that claim iCloud is back up.

I deleted my iPhone, and now I'm missing many iCloud contacts

I had to erase my iPhone (long story) and after doing that, I noticed that many contacts were missing. No problem, I figured, I just have to make sure I'm syncing to iCloud and I'll be fine. WRONG! The contacts are now missing from iCloud itself. This is very frustrating. I just cleaned up all my contacts (deleted old ones, updated new ones, etc.) and now many are totally missing, and some of the old ones I deleted are back.
To be clear, this is not an issue with my phone. This is on iCloud.com. The reset of the phone is simply what made me notice it.
And to anticipate what I may be asked: (1) In my Contacts on my Mac, the contacts in the "on my mac" section are showing up, when yesterday they weren't there. (yesterday I could only see iCloud contacts) (2) I did a Time Machine backup about a week ago, so that could get me my missing contacts, but still won't help with all the work I did recently. (3) My last iPhone backup (to my Mac) is over 2 years old. I've been using iCloud, so didn't see the need for a hard backup.
Not sure why/how resetting an iPhone would affect iCloud (which should be operating independently) but it seems to have done exactly that. I'm stuck. I need those contacts back! Any assistance would be very much appreciated.
Thank you!

Update: I reset my phone again and this time I restored it from my last iCloud backup. That "sort of" worked. (The missing info was on my phone temporarily, but it's still missing from iCloud.com and as the phone syncs with the cloud the missing contacts are disappearing.)
This is good news, but I'm losing progress. How can I restore my iCloud settings to that last backup?

TS4036 I purchased an iphone for my daughter and we are using the same account and she deleted some contacts from her phone and they were deleted off of my contacts as well. Is there a way to use icloud backup to reinstall the contacts to my phone?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can only restore them from a Computer backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.

All text tones are available in General-Sounds. Some are missing via Contacts-Edit Contact.

I have confirmed that this issue is also present in the iPhones in the Apple store as of 28-April-2014. I told one of the guys in the Apple store about it and he said that the iPhones in the store have a custom version, so I asked him to check his own iPhone. He did, and the issue is present on his phone, so it's definintely a general IOS7 iPhone issue.
If you go to General -> Sounds -> Text Tone -> Classic, you can see all the classic text tones.
If you go to Contacts, select a contact, select Edit -> Text Tone -> select Classic, some are missing.
I used Choo Choo for one of my contacts while I was on IOS6 and when I switched to a new phone with IOS7 and performed a restore, their text tone changed to Tri-tone. I tried to change it back and saw it was not availble, so I figured they had taken it out of IOS7. Then I heard a friend's iPhone 5 on IOS 7 who had Choo Choo set up as their default. I investigated and saw that more Classic text tones were available via General.
Is there some logical reason why some text tones are not available for Contacts?

Do you maybe have your contacts separated into groups? If so, perhaps you have unchecked the group that the missing contact are in.
In the Contacts app, click the Groups button in the upper left corner. Make sure all groups have a check mark next to them.

Hoy can i syncronize my iPhone agenda with my IPad agenda through the iCloud?, some contacts from the iPad don't exist in my iPhone.

Hoy can i syncronize my iPhone agenda with my IPad agenda through the iCloud?, some contacts from the iPad don't apear in my iPhone, and some of them are incompleted.

No. You can set up as a new device or restore from iCloud or iTunes. It looks like you backed up with iTunes, so you can't restore with iCloud. To backup your device in iCloud, go to Settings > iCloud and activate it
