TS3988 my contacts on my Iphone disappear when I enter my ICloud password

My contacts disappear on my IPhone 4 when I enter my ICloud password. Anyone else having the same problem, and what is the solution?

Prior to entering your iCloud ID and password, when turning on iCloud, were you using some other account? When switching accounts, data from the old account are deleted from the device. Otherwise when you turn on iCloud, you should still have the old contacts listed in "On My iPhone". Its the "iCloud" grouping that would contain new contacts that you enter to sync with icloud.

I lost my sync with iCal and contacts on my iPhone 3GS when I upgraded to iCloud. It worked just fine with Mobile Me.

I upgraded to IOS5 and iCloud on my MacBook Pro after I upgraded my iMac to iCloud. I keep my phone in sync with my MacBook, but now my Contacts and iCal will not sync with my iPhone3GS. What have I done wrong?

I had the same problem and believe I figured it out.
Calendars: In iTunes, with your iPod plugged in, go to the 'info' tab. De-select "Sync iCal Calendars". This fixed dupes, and did not erase any entries because MobileMe is keeping me updated.
Contacts: Whether I select or deselect "Sync Address Book Contacts, I still get duplicate contacts, but only when I look at "All Contacts". Go to "Groups" in Contacts on your iPod and select either "All from My Mac" or "All MobileMe". You get a single copy of each contact. Give it a minute or two after syncing as it takes a bit for MobileMe to update everything. At first I had a different number of contacts in each list, but a couple minutes after syncing, both lists matched.
Hope this helps...

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

How do I get my old contacts onto my iPhone 5? Have tried with iCloud, but no luck.

How do I get my old contacts onto my iPhone 5? Have tried with iCloud, but no luck.
I backed up my old iPhone on iCloud, ensuring that contacts was 'on' and then backed up my new iPhone 5. I have surely missed a vital step, but I can't figure it out.
I'd really appreciate any help.
Thanks!

I have also realised that my contacts are not in iCloud. I have backed up my old iPhone several times (today!) and they are simly not getting there. Any ideas?

What have you tried to fix it ? If you haven't already done so then see if any of the following fix it :
- log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in
- close the iTunes store app via the multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open it : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the iTunes store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
- soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

Do u unlock an iphone 4 when u have forgotten the password

how do u unlock an iphone 4 when u have forgotten the password, how do u unlock it when u forget the password

Either force the phone into recovery mode, as described here, & restore it:

Or, login to iCloud.com, locate the phone, then erase it.
Either method will remove the passcode.

Contacts on my iphone does not sync properly with icloud.

Contacts on my iphone does not sync properly with icloud. I have merged data with facebook contacts, and this merged information appears as I want it to be on icloud.com. But on the iphone, the facebook contacts and the icloud contact appear separately.
I have tried exporting the contacts out of icloud.com, then deleting all contacts on both icloud.com and on the iphone; then importing the vcard back into icloud.com, but the facebook details still appear as a separate contact. It is too time consuming to merge all of my contacts manually What should I do in order for the iphone to display the contacts as it is on icloud.com?

Is there some sort of Facebook tag on the vCard?

I have a problem using my new iPhone 5S (Silver 64 Go)
I often have to enter my iCloud Password, and even sometimes i am told it is wrong !

I also have a similar problem on my iPad, with my email account passwords. I have to type them several times a day, and i have 5 email accounts. That is awful. Apple had never got me used to having problems or bugs before... Disappointing and tiring !!
Please help, and again forgive my grammar or voc mistakes :/

Why am I sometimes asked to verify my Apple ID by email?
When you create a new Apple ID or make certain changes to your account, Apple will require you to sign in by following the link in a verification email. This is to help protect your identity and keep your account secure. Some Apple services, such as FaceTime and GameCenter, require email validation.

I recall it happening to me once. I inadvertently had the caps lock on and after numerous failed attempts, I was asked to verify my account or reset my password.

You need to use the right arrow on the remote to go all the way to the right. The submit button will be highlighted and you can then press select on the remote to proceed.

Hello hskod,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5162
You can keep trying to restore the device from backup until you remember the password. If you're having trouble, try:
Leaving the password field blank
Your Apple ID password
Your computer account password, if you have one
Email passwords you may have used
Your Wi-Fi network password
Website passwords you may have used
A password for hard-disk encryption software, if you use it
Have a nice day,
Mario

When initially entering a website password FF ASKS "SAVE PW FOR THIS SITE?" I have now CHANGED the website PW, and cannot get FF to "forget" the old PW and then save the new one!

I changed my GMail password the other day. I now have to type it in every time I access my mail as I cannot get Firefox (v.3.6.3) to ask me "Remember PW for this site?" (as it always AUTOMATICALLY does when FIRST entering a website password). Why does FF not automatically offer the "Save PW?" option AGAIN when one CHANGES the access PW of a site previously visited? Can one "force" a password to be remembered?

If the name stays the same and you only need to change (update) the stored password then fill the name in the login form and let Firefox fill the wrong password.
You may have to press the Tab key to fill the password field.
If you replace the wrong password with the new password then Firefox should offer to store the new password.
Use the ''Remember Password'' bookmarklet on websites that use "autocomplete=off" to prevent Firefox from saving passwords.
You can verify that Firefox has stored the new password: Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
If that didn't work then remove that name and password and Firefox should offer to save the new password on the next visit or if you refresh the login page.
