Can't sync my contacts through iCloud or iTunes from an iPhone 4S to an iPhone 3G

I have an iphone 4S that fell on the floor and broke the front glass. They will take some time to fix it and I need to sync my contacts to an iPhone 3G. The problem is that I can't sync them through iCloud or iTunes. Everything else syncs just fine (calendar included) but not the contacts.
Anyone had the same problem?
Anyone has any solution to this problem?
It's reaaly important because I can't be without my contacts all that time (they will take up to 15 days to replace the glass!!!!, the iPhone works fine, just the glass broken!)
Thanks

Does the display work? If so, you could use an app like My Contacts Backup to email your contacts to your other phone.

HT1296 Can I sync my new iPad with my iTunes from the cloud?

Can I sync my new iPad with my iTunes from the cloud?

Sync what sort of content ? You should be able to keep contacts and bookmarks between the two, but you can't directly copy music or films/tv shows between them - you will either need to sync those via your computer's iTunes, or if they are iTunes purchases and you are in a country where they can be redownloaded then they might show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad

I really hope someone can help because the nearest store is always too busy and is 40 + miles away

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.

I use Google as my primary Contacts manager and it is set up as an Exchange account on my iPhone. Does this mean I can't sync my contacts to iCloud?

When I activated the sync contacts with iCloud option, only 93 of 912 contacts showed up in iCloud.com. I assume it is because all 829 missing are considered as Exchange contacts. As stated when you activate Contacts sync in iCloud, Exchange cannot be synced. Is there a way I could sync all my Google contacts to iCloud?

import them to your OSX adressbook. This is what gets synced to the icloud, nothing else.

HT204150 If I delete contacts through iCloud, why do the changes not reflect on my iPhone?

I am having a tough time finding an answer to this. What is the best method?
I have a lot of duplicate contacts and general email addresses I don't want displayed on my phone.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Any contacts that are in an iCloud account on any device will be deleted from all devices when it is deleted on any one of them. To avoid this happening, you should move those contacts in Outlook from the iCloud account to another account, therefore keeping them in Outlook, but safe from any actions you carry out to the iCloud account.

Anyone know why I can't sync a Beatles song downloaded on ITunes on my Mac to my new IPhone 5?

I've downloaded "Let It Be" onto my Macbook Pro, and when I just synced that to my new IPhone, I got an error message that said that song could not be synced to my IPhone. Any help appreciated, as I'd like to put the Beatles collection on the phone.
Thanks so much.

When you reinstalled iTunes, did you remove and reinstall by the exact steps listed here? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
You will need to do it that way. That would be the only thing I can think of that would be stopping the transfer of purchases. If you go into Task Manager and Services, is the Apple Mobile Device Service running? If you go into Device manager when the phone is connected, do you see the Apple Device Driver listed under USB devices? Have you tried disconnecting the phone and then rebooting the computer, then doing a reset on the phone holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone reboots and the computer reboots, connect them again?

How can I sync the contacts in my phone with those on my MacBook Pro? I already have an iCloud account, and everything else (calendars,music, etc.I is already synched) but the contacts won't.

How can I sync the contacts in my phone with those on my MacBook Pro? I already have an iCloud account, and everything else (calendars,music, etc.I is already synched) but the contacts won't.

Ok.
Open System Preferences, Apple Logo icon in the menu bar and then System Preferences or the Sys Pref iocon in the Dock and go to the Internet Accounts area and look at your iCloud account. It should list what is and isn't synced by a checkmark next to each item.
Also in the Contacts app click on Contacts in the menu bar and select Preferences then accounts and make sure your iCloud account is listed. You can also do that from the Internet Accounts area in System Preferences.

How can I sync my contacts - please help

Welcome to the Apple community.
If they are iCloud contacts, just log into iCloud on your new phone.
You should restore from a back up of your old phone though to get things like your photos and other app data onto your new phone.

Sync your iPad with computer iTunes.
Note: your contacts should be in computer Outlook (Windows) or Contacts (Mac) application.
If you have iCloud configured in iPhone, do the same for iPad.
Setttings > iCloud >
     Account: your Apple ID
     Contacts: ON
     Documents & Data: ON

I can't sync Outlook 2010 with iCloud.

I can't sync Outlook 2010 with iCloud. The iCloud Control Panel says to install Outlook even though I already have it. I am not given the option to to check the Mail, Contacts or Calendars boxes. How can I check the boxes so I can sync properly?...right now all my Calendar has duplicate items.

I believe you have right - the Add-in is the problem. Right now, my Outlook 2010 do NOT have the iCloud add-in. You mention something about downloading it - where can I find it ?? I have tested to uninstall and install again, nothing changes my syncing with Outlook 2010 after the initial setup has been done with iCloud.....

Can u sync a blackberry with icloud?

Can u sync a blackberry with icloud?

Hi there, I have a solution for this. I have upgraded my macs, iPads and iPhones to iCloud, but I am getting so confused with the direction apple are going in, and the power they are now wielding, that I have bought a blackberry. I still wanted to keep my email, contacts and calendars in iCloud so my wife could continue to use the iPad and her iPhone, but needed to sync the contacts and calendars to my blackberry and vice versa. Took me a while, but got there in the end. Firstly, install an app called syncml pro on you iCloud enabled iPhone or iPad. That is the only app which will work for calendars and contacts. Then, go to website myfunambol.com, and create an account. Back in the syncml pro app, configure it using the settings from the following link https://help.forge.funambol.org/questions/answer2.html . This will then allow you to automatically sync any changes on your iOS device to the myfunambol server. Then, install the funambol app on your blackberry, any hey presto, you have 2 way sync! The beauty is that because iCloud works across all iOS devices, even if you change or add a contact or event on an iOS device that doesn't have the syncml app, iCloud sends your changes to the iOS device that does have it on, syncml picks it up, automatically syncs to myfunambol server, and then when you sync your blackberry, it picks it up. Works exactly the same way in reverse, ie a change on blackberry will change all your iOS devices. When the funambol app for ios supports calendars as well as contacts, you can do the whole sync from funambol without syncml.

Hi P.Hallis,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your goal is to sync the contacts on your iPhone with iCloud. You may want to use this article to double-check your sync settings in iTunes:

Can't sync my contact from iPhone to iPad Air

Can't sync my contact from iPhone to iPad Air.
If I add a new contact in iPad Air it appears on iPhone. If I delete this new contact on iPhone it is also deleted on iPad. But the whole contacts of iPhone cannot be imported in iPad.
Please help me! Who has any idea?
