Upload contacts from iCloud to iPhone when iPhone contacts were deleted

Not sure how/why but the contacts on my iPhone 4s were just gone one day (e.g. in Messages I simply have messages from (###) ###-#### and Contacts is empty). The latest version of my iPhone which I could restore to was from earlier tonight (with all contacts gone) because my phone automatically synced or something, so "Restore Backup" is not an option (I already restored only version). I found all my contacts in my iCloud account soooo... how do I get them to my iPhone? on Settings > iCloud , Contacts is "off" but when I switched it "on" nothing happened. Help please!
Version 7.1

Your other data (such as messages, your call history, etc.) and settings are stored in your backup, with the exception of email, which is stored on the email provider's server. Restoring your backup would transfer your other data and settings.
Are you trying to transfer your data from an old iPhone to a new one?

You could try the approach outlined here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

Using ios 7.0.4 can a group email be sent either from icloud or iPhone by a means other than selecting the individual Contact, ie; can the group be selected and then an email composed that will send the message to all group members.

Hi Richard,
Thanks for the reply - I think I've sorted it though and there isn't actually an issue.
The whole group wasn't receiving the NDR, only the group manager which I setup a few weeks prior. This is a new feature so it complies with certain RFC's, basically the group manager will recieive the NDR to let them know there is a problem.
Something to do with mass mailing and unsolicited mail.

How to send contacts from icloud to iphone

iphone contacts were deleted. how can i download from the contact list saved in icloud?

On your iPhone go to Settings > iCloud.
Is your iCloud account set up there?
If so, is Contacts turned on for over the air syncing?
If not, you need to set up your iCloud account and turn Contacts on for over the air syncing.

Problem with downloading photo from iCloud to iPhone's Photo Stream

Hi Apple Support,
I have two apple device, one iPad and one iPhone. For iPad, I turned on 'My Photo Stream' and 'Shared Photo Streams' function before, but iPhone not, and I installed iCloud client at my Win7 PC, so any photos which created by iPad will upload to iCloud and iCould will post them to my Win7 PC, it's perfect!
But.. Here is the problem, I turned on 'My Photo Stream' and 'Shared Photo Streams' function at my iPhone now as well, however the previously photos which created by iPad cannot download to my iPhone's 'Photo Stream', thats mean I cannot download any old photo from iCloud to iPhone's Phone Stream, can I know is this a problem or not? Thanks!
AFAIK, Microsoft's Skydrive could download any files from cloud to end user's device, cant Apple make it as well?

Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, even though a rolling collection of up to 1000 photos will remain on your devices until deleted. When you enabled photo stream on your phone you would have only received photos added to photo stream in the last 30 days, as older photos are no longer in iCloud.
If you want to get your older photos from your iPad to your iPhone, you can either import them to your computer and sync them to your phone, or use an app like PhotoSync or Bump to transfer them.

Adding to fromsouth... if you are restoring from a backup, then only photos in the camera roll are made available, not others.
If you are using photo stream, then only photos that have been on the stream server in the past 30 days (and a max of 1000 of them) are downloaded. All others have been deleted, since photo stream is not a storage service, but a syncing service that allows you to sync photos over a 30 day window.

ITunes doesn't provide the ability to upload media from the iPod/Iphone. Why is this and why can't it be a drag and drop option as windows

iTunes doesn't provide the ability to upload media from the iPod/Iphone. Why is this and why can't it be a drag and drop option as windows

Because Apple have designed it that way.
It's actually against the (Apple) rules of this forum to speculate about Apple's decisions, so if perhaps you should ask your question on a more appropriate (non-Apple) forum. If you continue the discussion here, you could simply find that your post gets removed by the moderators.

like roaminggnome said you should see your contacts again once you sync with iTunes. if you used iCloud before, make sure contact sync is turned on and your contacts should be back.

Contact List Problem.   I have duplicates on my iPhone. I turned off my Contact and selected "Delete Contacts" Most of the contacts were deleted but about 120 were left on my phone.   I've tried selecting individual contacts and deleting them, No Go.
Can anyone help?   How do I get rid of these contacts so I can re-synch my iPhone.

I have exactly the same problem on my ipad. It is happening on only some contacts but, as with you, when I delete one of the contacts on the ipad, the second ipad contact and the contact on the imac are also deleted. This is even the case when I have differentiated the two contacts on the ipad and can see the one I have deleted on the ipad is not the same one as is then deleted on the imac.

iCloud doesn't offer general file storage.
You can save files to iCloud from iCloud aware applications in the save dialog of such apps.

Is there any way to get specific app data from iCloud so that when you redoes load an app, you can restore its data?

no.
the backup is only for the purpose if you need to wipe the device.

Some of my contacts were deleted upon setting up iCloud

set it up on my Macbook first, then my phone. When I went back into my phone just a bit later, some of my contacts were deleted, alot of them only have a Facebook email, birthday and Facebook IM left, no phone #'s or any other info I might have had. Again, if they weren't Facebook friends, they didn't get altered. Just seeing if there is a way to get all my #'s back? Thanks

Check under Settings > iCloud to see if the Contacts switch is ON (green side showing). If it's already on, switch it off for 30-60 seconds, then back on again. Your contacts should start showing up shortly.

HT4859 if i download from icloud to my pc, can i then delete it from pc and return it to icloud.

Hi
I have just bought itunes match, but don´t really totally understand how it works. It appears all of my records/videos are now in icloud and not on my computer or apple tv. If I re-download something from icloud to my computer can I then delete and re-send it to icloud again, thus freeing up space on my computer? Any help would be appreciated.

Yes.

I changed my ID and all my contacts were deleted

I changed my ID and all my contacts were deleted?

Change your appleID back to the previous ID you used, and they should come back. If you want to remove that ID and switch back, make sure you choose the option to "Keep the contacts on the iPhone/iPad/iPod".
