Contacts from phone to iCloud

I recently got an iPhone, the carrier transfered my contacts to the new phone, but I want to get them into my iCloud account. Everything except my contacts seem to be syncing. How do I sync my phone contacts to my iCloud Account?

Hi duham,
Yes, you can go to Settings>iCloud and turn off the Contacts button. When it asks if you want to keep the Contacts on the phone, say yes. Then turn Contacts back on, and it should ask you if you want to Merge them.
Cheers,

  • Sync Contacts from Phone to icloud

    I have about 3000 contacts from my old Microsoft Exchange server that are in my phone but I'm unable to get them from my phone to iCloud. Any idea how I can salvage these contacts? I don't want to lose them when I upgrade my phone. Thanks.

    To copy the exchange account contacts to iCloud, do the following:
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  (Since you have more than 500 contacts to transfer you will need the “Pro” version.)  Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from the exchange account) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and set this to iCloud.
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the other accounts back to your device, and to iCloud.
    Open the Contacts app, tap Groups, then tap the exchange account so it is unchecked and tap Done.  Confirm that the contacts are now all in the iCloud account on your phone, as well as on icloud.com.
    Assuming they are, you can either leave things this way (with the duplicate exchange account contacts hidden from view), or to eliminate the duplicate contacts on your phone, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap the exchange account and turn off contacts syncing with the exchange account.

  • My partner has my former iPad 1, I have an iPhone 5 and iPad Gen III.  I want to copy my contacts list to his iPad.  We both have Apple ID's and we share a PC.  How do i copy the contacts from my iPhone, iCloud or iPad to his iPad 1?

    The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
    Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
    also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
    and the iTunes Match services.
    (I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
    If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
    iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
    and
    iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
    In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

    I am in transit with no computer. I have a iphone 3GS and have just bought a new 4S. Can I transfere my contacts from phone to phone.

    There are apps you can dowload that will let you sync your contacts across platforms or backup and restore contacts without iTunes.  An app that will sync your contacts is Contacts Sync.  Search the app store and find an app that will meet your needs.

    Other than removing my contacts from my iPhone 4S, can I stop my contacts from going into iCloud?

    You could simply turn off iCloud contacts sync on your iPhone in "Settings > iCloud > Contacts".

  • Importing contacts from aol into iCloud

    I have imported contacts from AOL into iCloud.  The nature of AOL's contacts results in many email addresses listed as "undefined."  I culled through the undefineds either deleted the entry or added it to an existing entry.  BUT NOW the "undefineds" are back!  Am I missing a setting or is there a way to make sure the "undefineds" do not keep popping up?
    Thanks

    I think the point of backups is to have your data available should you need it in a device crash, etc.
    You can backup using your DM and then move the *.ipd file to your Media Card. Should you be travelling, and have a crisis, you can move that IPD file to any computer or laptop and do a restore.
    I am not aware of a way to import your contacts from the Media Card, however.

  • Merging Contacts From iPhone to iCloud

    This is not a question.  This is an explanation of how to merge contacts from iPhone to iCloud.
    I cant believe how difficult Apple makes this process.  I figured it out on my own because Apple does not explain it.  In fact, Apple hasn't even provided directions or guidance on this topic since 2012.
    Here it is.  Go to Settings on your iPhone.  Go to iCloud.  Un-hook the slider next to Contacts.  Hook the slider next to Contacts.  A pop up asks Merge, hit merge.  This will copy all contacts in your iPhone to the Cloud.
    Apple needs to get back to basics or risk losing customers.

    Hello jessica13loose
    If the contacts are solely on your iPhone and not apart of iCloud, go to Settings > iCloud and turn off Contacts. It will ask if you want to delete or keep the contacts on your iPhone. Go ahead and keep them on your iPhone. When that is done, turn it back on and iCloud will merge all that contact data back onto iCloud.

  • Back up contact from phone to mac

    Since upgrading the OS to X, the info tab is no longer available in itunes to help me sync my contacts from my phone or mac.  Now the sync between the two are no longer working, why???

    Does anyone find the below paragraph to be true...I guess that I'm going to need to discuss with an apple person, because I am missing something.  My contacts do not stay consistant in all places. 
    You can create and edit your contacts by using the Contacts app on iCloud.com from a Mac or Windows web browser. Changes you make are automatically pushed to your iOS devices and computers where you set up iCloud for Contacts. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, changes are pushed to the Contacts app. On your Mac, changes are pushed to Contacts (or Address Book in OS X v10.7.5), and on your Windows computer, changes are pushed to Microsoft Outlook. No matter which device you use to edit your contacts, the changes are updated everywhere, so you never have to connect your iOS device to your computer to keep your contacts current.

  • Importing contacts from pst into iCloud using Outlook 2010

    I am trying to import contacts from a PST file into iCloud by importing it with Outlook 2010's standard import tool.  I have set up iCloud on my desktop and have a node in my Outlook 2010 Contacts menu for iCloud.  There are about 2000 contacts in the PST, but the import completes with only 511 contacts every time.  The pop-up message at the end says "some items cannot be copied.  they were either moved or deleted, or access was denied."
    How can I troubleshoot this?  Or, is there an alternate way to bring these contacts into iCloud for use also in Outlook and my iPhone 4?
    Glenn

    i'm not sure this is possible. as far as i know you can only get contacts onto the ipod from either outlook OR windows contacts (which i think is only available with vista.)
    there is an app called funambol, which will allow you to sync your contacts to an internet server, your ipod, and your mobile phone, using wifi.

  • How do i restore contacts from a previous icloud backup?

    Somehow - half of my contacts have disappeared.
    I turned icoloud backup off , but the most recent backup is missing those contacts as well.
    i am pretty sure that the previous backup have the full contacts that i want to restore.
    Don't want to restore the entire phone.
    how can this be done ? will icloud drive help ?

    If you turned iCloud backup off and deleted the backup, you won't have an earlier iCloud backup to restore from.  Your most recent backup, if you didn't delete it, may have your contacts if it was made before the contacts were lost.  However, you have to follow this process to restore contacts from an iCloud backup: Recovering deleted iCloud contacts from an iCloud backup.  Otherwise the recovered contacts will be deleted as soon as your device reconnects to iCloud (making you think that they weren't included in the backup).
