How can I import contacts from my iPhone into my iCloud account?

Hi. I synchronized my iPhone with my eMac, and as a result all my eMac contacts were transfered to my iPhone, while I was seeking just the contrary. Can someone tell me how I can do this?

If all of the contacts you want in iCloud are on your phone,* I would do the following:
As a precaution, download a copy of the contacts currently in your iCloud account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606.  This probably will not be used.
Download the app My Contacts Backup to your phone.  Use the app to back up the contacts on your phone as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
Open the My Contacts Backup app, tap the gear icon on the bottom right, in the window that opens scroll to the bottom and tap Remove All Contacts.  Confirm that there are no more contacts on your phone, on icloud.com or on your Mac.
Go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, turn Contacts off and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted.
Go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn Contacts back on.
Open the My Contacts Backup email on your phone and tap the attachment to import the contacts back to your phone, and to iCloud.  Confirm that your contacts now appear on your phone, as well as on icloud.com and your Mac.
* If all of the contacts you want are not on your phone, please explain which device contains the master list of contacts that you want in iCloud.

  • How can i import contacts from a csv file to "iCloud Contacts"?

    How can I import contacts from a csv file to "iCloud Contacts"?

    The only way I know of to import cells from a csv file is by creating a new file.  But then you can select the desired cells and copy them to the other file.  I just did it to be sure it works.
    1. Create the new spreadsheet file via the upload command.
    2. Select the cells (table) that you want to move to the other file and press command+C (copy).
    3. Close the new file and open the existing file.
    4. Select the top/right cell of the area to receive the copied "table" and press commant+V (paste).
    I hope this is what you're trying to do!

  • How can I merge my Calendars(Outlook/iPhone) into 1 iCloud account

    I updated my iPhone 3GS (will be getting a 4s sooon) and my iPad2 to iOS5 with iCloud. I've always been a bit prehistoric, synchronising my iPhone with my Outlook on my laptop, just as a backup, as I don't even use outlook. Somehow the amount of accounts/calendars I have are now up to 6. Does anyone know how I can merge all these accounts into 1 iCal account or just 1 iCloud Calendar. Need to get rid of Outlook asap!
    Hope someone can help me!?
    Bart

    Sorry, but merging iTunes Store accounts / Apple IDs is not possible.
    Regards.

    how can i import contacts from my regular sim to iphone 5 (nano sim)

    Sync the phone with the regular sim to the appropriate program on your
    computer. When you set up the iPhone 5 in iTunes on that computer, you
    will be offered the chance to import the contacts, etc.
    Or take old phone and new iPhone to your wireless provider. They have the
    equipment to do this quickly.

  • How can I transfer contacts from an iPhone to a new iPad with another Apple-ID?

    How can I transfer contacts from my iPhone to a new iPad with another Apple-ID?

    You can't. Not directly anyway. You might be able to import them to your computer and then sync them to the iPad but there is no way to transfer them over the air or by connecting the two devices with a cable.
    I know absolutely nothing about apps like this, but I did a very quick Google search and found this.

  • How Can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail?

    How can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail? In other words, I want to keep all of my iPhone contact information intact and make AOL "mirror" it (and not wipe it out when I sync thru iTunes).

    The iPhone supports syncing contacts with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with Windows Contacts with Windows, and with the Address Book or with the Entourage address book on a Mac.
    If you aren't currently using one of the supported applications on your computer for contact info - the supported address book application on your computer is empty, before syncing contacts enter one contact in the supported application on your computer. Make this contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data with the supported application on your computer, which you want to select.
    After this, you can export the contacts from the supported application on your computer that is supported for import by your AOL online address book - if AOL includes such an option.

    Marco
    PS sorrry, previous question was a mistake

    At http://icloud.com go to the Contacts page. Select all your contacts, click the cogwheel icon at bottom left and select 'Export vCard'.
    Now open Address Book on your Mac. From the File menu choose 'Import' and select your exported file. Of course if it contains entries which are also on the Mac you will get duplicates.

    How can I import contacts from another AIM account to this new one??

    Hi,
    Use AIM for Mac and use the Export and Import features.
    Other than that it is a question on making sure every Single Buddy has more than just their Screen name in the IChat Address Card so it is added to the Address Book and dragging them back from there

    Photos that were synced from a computer won't show for copying to a computer. If you want to copy them back then you will need a third-party app on your phone such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer (e.g. their dimensions might be different and their colours may look a bit different).

    I was able to use iPhoto to import from my iPhone on my old MacPro, but iPhoto does not seem to work on my new iMac.

    How are you trying? There are two ways: by hooking it up with a USB cord, or by photo streaming.
