How can I back up my exchange contacts to icloud

Good day
Our company has just lost our ms exchange server information. I am tasked to restore what I can but the situation looks dire. My fear is that when the clients with iphones (all the managers and myself) sync with their mailboxes with an empty contacts list, there phones will update to that contact list and they will lose all contacts on their phone that they have.
Can I somehow back up their exchange contacts to ICloud? My phone doen't let me.
My idea is: re-create their mail boxes, retrieve the contacts from the cloud, and in doing so, restore their contacts to their exchange account when it sync.
Hope you can help
Jacques

Open Contacts on your phone and tap Groups.  Then check to see what group the contacts belong to.  If they don't belong to an iCloud group, they won't sync with iCloud.

  • I lost my iPhone. i got a new one, how can i back up all the contacts i had in the old one (iPhone 4S).

    i lost my iPhone. i got a new one, how can i back up all the contacts i had in the old one (iPhone 4S). When i go to Itunes it start as a new iphone.

    Contacts are not a part of back up.
    Contacts are sync with a compatible programme on your computer depending on your operating system (Windows or Mac). For example, Microsoft Outlook (for both Windows and Mac), Windows Contacts (for Windows) and Addressbook (for Mac).
    Or contacts are also backed up in iCloud (depending if you chose to do so).
    So, sync back the contacts from any of these programmes. If you have not made a backup of your contacts in any of these progammes, then they are gone.

  • How can i back up my iphone contacts and sms on a windows PC?

    Please suggest how can i back up my contacts and messages in my PC? I have Windows XP OS installed in my PC.

    This will tell you everything you need to know about the iPhone backup, including where that backup is stored on your computer:

    The iPhone backup is not viewable. To see/extract the contents requires third-party software, like this:

  • HT204053 how do i copy all my exchange contacts to icloud.

    How do i copy my exchange contacts from my iphone to icloud

    Hi,
    This has been an issue for a lot of people lately, including myself.
    I personally prefer to have my contacts saved on apple's servers rather than microsoft's especially since I'm now using several apple devices.
    I couldn't find any answers to this on the web, except exporting-importing manually each contact.
    Worked that out by myself for a few hours and found this way of doing it "automatically" without the need of a computer, your iDevice will suffice!
    Step 1 : have your windows live/exchange contacts synced on the idevice.
    Step 2 : Install the Free application "My Contacts Backup" from the AppStore and make a backup.
    Step 3 : Send the backup file to yourself via Email.
    Step 4 : Make sure that the default contacts account on your iDevice is iCloud in "Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calender - Contacts - default account"
    Step 5 : Open the backup file in the mail from the idevice and install all contacts.
    Step 6 : Disable the contacts sync function of Exchange in "Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calender - your Echange Account name" if you do not want to have both in your contacts list. This will automatically delete all contacts on the iDevice from your Exchange account.
    And Voila! Hope this will help a lot of people

  • How can I get a transfer my contacts from iCloud to my pc?

    Dear Sir,
              My contacts on my iPhone have been already copied to my iCloud account but they have been removed from "My Contacts". I need to get a copy of My Contacts on my "Outlook" or "Google Contacts". May you please help me to get this copy?
    Best Regards,
    Xefo...

    If your intention is to be able to use the contacts on your pc and not just as a backup then synching with Outlook is probably your best bet. Have a look at the link below for more information.

    i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad? I have switched my iphone to airplane mode so it is not connected to the internet and so icloud can not wipe it at the moment.
    thanks roy

    There's a menu choice (I think under "Files") that lets you sync purchased items on a device back to itunes.  Look for that.
    iCloud does not store music.  If you want to do that you'd have to subscribe to itunes Match, but to get music to the match servers, you need the music in the itunes library on your computer.

    HOW CAN I RESTORE AND GET MY CONTACTS BACK.

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

    @fresno05,
    Keeoing your contacts backed up is definitely important. I apologize for the difficulties you've had. Have you tried this http://vz.to/1BktRr6 to back up the contacts? Are you able to view the contacts in the trash online on the Verizon Cloud?

  • I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

    I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

    If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
    1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
    2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
    3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
    Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
    [To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
    Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
    I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

  • How can I import all my gmail contacts into iPad? I use iPad mini and the solutions available on the web are not compatible.

    How can I import all my gmail contacts into iPad? I use iPad mini and the solutions available on the web are not compatible.

    Hello and thanks for the answer.
    I meant by "not compatible" that all the solutions that I found on the web did not work, especially the "Microsoft exchange" one.
    Fortunately I found on the comments of the first website you mentioned the right answer for me, which I copy below:
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Other > Add CardDav Account.
    Enter the following information in the fields:
    Server: google.com
    User Name: Enter your full Google email address
    Password: Your Google account password
    Select Next at the top of the screen to complete the setup.
    After you have completed the setup, open the Contacts app on your device. Syncing should begin automatically.
    Additional Information
    Note: Make sure that SSL is enabled (under Advanced settings), and that the port is 443.
    If you are using application based special password go to https://accounts.google.com/Se... and instead of your password put that special code and u r done.

  • How can't I move all my contacted and photos from my old iCloud account to my new account

    How can't I move all my contacted and my photos from my old iCloud account to my new iCloud account . And how do I know I got photos saved on my iCloud account

    If you sign into your old account using your iPhone and turn on contacts (Settings > iCloud) then once all of your contacts are on your iPhone turn contacts back off and select keep on my iPhone.  Then delete account on the old account and sign in with your new iCloud account and turn on contacts and select merge.  That will get your contacts over.
    If you have photos stored in iCloud it will be in My Photo Stream.  This section only keeps the last 30 days of auto uploads from any of your devices or computers that are using this feature.  You can access these photos by signing into the old iCloud account in Settings > iCloud and enable Photos > My Photo Stream.  If you have any photos in there, they will load into your Photos App.  In the Photos App, tap Albums in the bottom right, then tap My Photo Stream.  There is no way to upload them to your new iCloud account once you sign into it short of creating a Shared Photo Stream and inviting yourself to it.
    In the end you should really try to keep one Apple ID for everything when possible as there is no way to merge Apple IDs and you can end up in a tangled mess.

    How can I filter my 500+ email contacts to just those I can facetime chat with?

    You will need to remove it as your rescue email : log into your account via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, select the 'Password And Security' section on your account's screen, and answer the two security questions that show - you should then be taken to another screen where you can change or remove your rescue email address.
    Then try logging out of your account and then log back in and see if you can then use it as your primary email address.
