Why are contacts I add on my phone not being backed up/linked to iCloud?

I need to delete a previous employer outlook email account from my phone but don't want to lose all of my contacts. I see most of my contacts show they are linked to both that outlook account and to the icloud. I am assuming if I delete the outlook account I will still have the contacts backed up to the icloud? Can someone please confirm this? Second question is that I see quite a few contacts do not show a link at all to either outlook or icloud. Will I lose those contacts? It appears those contacts were created directly on my phone itself, so why are those contacts not being backed up to the cloud? Appreciate any help you can give me so I don't lose contacts and/or have to enter them all over again (I did have my IT department give me a backup of my contacts on excel so worse care I can re-enter all of them but obviously I don't want to have to do that). Thanks!

Did she restore the iPhone 4 and set it up as new wtih her AppleID?
Or did she simply turn it on with your Apple ID still on it and start deleting everything?
You should have Settings > iCLoud account as your AppleID.
She should have hers.

Why are clipping adjustments in the basic panel not being saved, updated or shown in the histogram? I am using LR 5.7 on a MAC OSX 10.8 etc.

Why are clipping adjustments in the basic panel not being saved, updated or shown in the histogram? I am using LR 5.7 on a MAC OSX 10.8 etc.

Here is more information and hopefully a better explanation. My version of
LR-5.7 (OS X 10.8.5) apparently does not save the .NEF (Nikon RAW) edits
done in the basic module. That means that I can correct exposure,
highlights, shadows etc. but once I go to another picture and returned to
the edited one the histogram (on the edited photo) and specifically the
clipping triangles are white or some other color. This is normally suppose
to indicate that some channel or all channels are clipped in the
highlight/shadow areas. If I adjust any slider in the Basic panel even as
little as one +/- value or press the J-key, the histogram will now show the
original edit. Moving on to another photo and then returning to to
previously edited one and again the edits are "not saved" and I have to hit
the J-key or adjust a slider to see the previously edited information
reflected in the histogram.
This is especially frustrating for fours reasons. If I have edited a shoot
and return to it I cannot see from the clipping information whether the
original edit was correct and of course I might re-edit it (to some now
incorrect value). This brings up the second issue synchronization. I can't
rely on it because if I go back to fine tune a specific image in the batch
the triangles are white or some other color for that and every image. I have
to hit the J-key to show/hide clipping or the back slash key to see
before/after previews. This is the third issue which is very time consuming
and inefficient regarding my workflow. The forth issue is that I have
noticed that normally when an image is saved in PS, LR adds a copy of the
saved version to its catalogue. I have noticed that the PS to LR saves are
all wrong in terms of exposure (they are much lighter in tone) than the
original LR edit and the PS edit on my screen. If I check the PS to LR photo
in LR I notice that the Basic panel values have been changed and that I have
to sync the image with the originally edited RAW/NEF LR file to get it to
look the same.
Note 1). I am using an Apple cinema display and a calibrated Eizo ColorEdge
monitor to view my NEF files. I have reverted back to using LR 4 however I
am not sure if I should expect compatibility problems with Camera Raw 7.4 in
LR 4 vs. Camera Raw 8.6 in LR 5.
Note 2.) I am going to do an import converting everything to .dng to see if
this is a work around.
Note 3). I would be interested in knowing if this issue is related to the PS
RAW engine ver. 8.6, the Adobe created NEF calibrations or LR 5.
Note 4). I have duplicated this issue in OS X 10.8.5, OS X 9.xx and OS X
10.10.1
Hopefully someone else has noticed this problem. Any shared information
would be valuable. Thanks for the reply.

HT204150 My contacts are not being backed up in my iCloud account

My contacts are not being backed up in my iCloud account. Any suggestions?

Only contacts that belong to the iCloud group are synced to your iCloud account. If you have non-iCloud contact groups on your phone, first go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Group (in the Contacts section) and make sure you select iCloud as your default. Next, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to On, and when prompted, choose Merge. Then try creating a new contact on your phone and see if it appears in your contacts on icloud.com when you check from your computer.

Why are songs that I purchased through itunes not able to be loaded to icloud?

I am having a ton of issues getting my library on both my home comuter and my laptop. I deleted my Icloud and then reloaded it with all the music from my home computer. My plan is to turn on Itunes match on my laptop and download all my songs. The problem I am having is that some of my songs are not eligable to upload to icloud??? I am not sure what that even means. Some of these song are some that i have purchased in just the last few months from itunes and now they are not eligable to upload to icloud. What am I supposed to do to get my music on both computers???

I do not undestand what you mean. iCloud is not the same as iTunes Match. The two services are separate and distinct and one does not require the other.
If you are trying to copy music files from one computer to another using iTunes Match is not the most effective way to do that. See this Apple KB article for more information: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.
Once you get the music copied over you can enable iTunes Match. It will scan the library and mirror it with what is in the cloud. As to the songs that are "ineligable" tell us what the exact status is for the tracks. Switch to Song view and pull down View > View Options and select iCloud Status, then close the small window. Post the status for the songs back here.

My contacts and photos won't sync from my iPhone to my iPad air, is there anything I can do? And could it b due to my iCloud storage being full on my phone not being backed up for a few months? Even the bits that were originally backed up haven't synced,

Any advice would b gratefully recieved!

BEST BUY NOT STANDING BY THEIR EXCHANGE/RETURN POLICY..
WHen I first attempted to exchange, I was well under BEST BUY return policy of 30 days...but wouldn't you know they finally responded to me stating they would not be able to offer me an exchange because NOW the return term time had NOW expired....
SO they waited until my return period had expired to reply and tell me they couldn't and wouldn't exchange it
because my return/exchange period had expired...
Well then that's clearly illegal isn't it? Contact the TN Attorney General's office.

Are you sure .mov files worked on the iPhone without a third part player? I'm just not sure...
Try these instructions from Apple:
Convert a video to work with iPhone: Select the video in your iTunes library and choose Advanced > “Create iPod or iPhone Version.” Then add the converted video to iPhone.

Why are my photos from my I-Phone 5 not downloaded to I Cloud

Where are the photos on your phone and where are you expecting to see them that you don't.

Why are my connection bars (internet and phone) blue sometimes and sometimes gray? I'm sure this is an easy one

blue means you're connected to Google's servers

My contacts from my iphone 4S are not being uploaded and saved to iCloud.

Why are the contacts that are on my 4S iphone NOT being uploaded and saved to iCloud contacts? Yes, contacts toggle is turned to "on" on my phone. Yes, I have updated manually while plugged in and connected to my WiFi as well as left it plugged in and locked to automatically update iCloud. Still no contacts in my iCloud folder even though I have 379 contacts sitting on my phone.

I'm no expert by far, but have had issues with this before.
IMAP should allow your iPhone to remove messages from the server.
But have you made sure both the iPhone and Outlook are connecting via IMAP?
If your iPhone does remove the messages from the server, but your computer is using POP, then the computer may download the email before it is removed form the server by your iPhone.
This was my issue, that my computer had already downloaded the message, and POP does not check later if it is deleted.
If you delete a message from Outlook does it disappear on the iPhone?
Alternativly you may need to check the email server settings.
Who is your email provider?
They may be able to check if IMAP allows you to remove emails.

How do I retrieve my photos from the cloud after a reset. My photos are gone from my phone, and I backed them up on iCloud? when I restored it, no camera roll pictures?

Try restoring the backup again. Sometimes it's successful the second time. You could also try restoring an older backup. iCloud will have your last 3 backups is you have sufficient storage space in your account.

Why are the options for "When Firefox starts" NOT clickable in Firefox 5? I want to choose "Windows and tabs that where opened last time you accessed the net" but Firefox won't let me.

In the previous version of Firefox one could choose to save tabs so that when Firefox opened, all the tabs from the previous sessions appeared. This was done in Settings > Options > General > Startup. In the menu for the "When Firefox Starts" one had the option for "Windows and tabs that where opened last time you accessed the net." in Firefox 5.0, this menu is gray and not clickable. Help, please?

''Why are the options for "When Firefox starts" NOT clickable in Firefox 5?"
Possibly you are not saving your "browsing history" which is what the session history is tied into.
'''Not saving History''' -- check your settings for '''Tools > options > Privacy'''', make sure you are not clearing more than just cache in "Settings for Clearing History"
* http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4928/clearcachew.png
* clearing your history at end of session, cache is the only one you would want to clear at end of session, if you don't want to lose things
There are several things that are related to private browsing and not saving History
* Private Browsing Ctrl+Shift+P
* You selected "Never remember history" in first drop-down of Tools > Options Privacy and all of the check marks disappear (See picture above)
* "Permanent private browsing mode" was check-marked under "Use custom settings for history" in the first drop-down of Tools > options > Privacy (see picture above)
