Downloaded Yosemite on my late 2012 iMac, now all my cards in Contacts have disappeared, as have all entries in my Calendar. I don't use the cloud, wonder if this is connected to the problem. Thanks in advance for any help.
iMac (27-inch, Late 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4), 250 GB SSD
I suspect you are someone else has set a setting to update your information to iCloud. However if that is not it, simply restore the Calendar and Contacts apps in Time Machine to a date they were last visible. This process should take much less than 5 minutes.

Hello
Macs allows us to access and view Contacts from many sources
iCloud
Email(s) like Gmail and other supported accounts
Social Media like Face Book, Twitter ...
Other apps.
CardDAV accounts
and just the Mac
The way to get them back is to find out where they came from.
Note ((Every-One)) says the Mac, but that's where you organized and viewed them from.
Even if you type them in on the Mac they can still be saved to any of the above accounts.
1 Make sure your are signed into all of your accounts
iCloud, Email(s), Social Media ....
Make sure all of the accounts have contacts turned on.
2 Make sure you are looking at all the contact groups.
Best of Luck
Success with my first post - impressive
Problem centred around being logged into iCloud or not, didn't realise I would lose data I had typed in if I logged out.
Many thanks for your help

Hi,
thanks for the information, don't use social media, don't have an iPhone or iPad so I can sign off from the iCloud right? ... WRONG!!
I just didn't realise I would lose data I had typed in if I signed off from the iCloud. All my contacts are now back where they should be.
Many thanks for your help

Why have all my contact cards disappeared?
