How can i copy my contacts from iphone 5 to my ipad air2

I'M having troubles transfering my contacts from my iphone to my ipad so that facetime and i messages work perfectly
any advices of how to transfer my contacts from iphone 5 to ipad air 2?

An alternate way to transfer contacts (if the contacts you need are already on an existing device) is to use one of many apps (both free and paid are available) from the App Store. Note that you'll need to setup the same email account, accessible by/on both devices.
Search the App Store for an app called My Contacts Backup (free, and available in the US App Store, I don't know about other countries)...it's the one that I personally use for backing up my contacts both online and offline as well as archiving them on my Mac/PC). Install the app on both devices. Run the app on the iPad 2 and have it backup your contacts. It will compile them into a vCard format and allow you to email the file to yourself. On the iPhone 5s, access the email that you sent the vCard file to, find the message and tap on the vCard attachment. Follow the directions and your contacts will now be transferred to the iPhone.
You can simply reverse the procedure to copy in the other direction.
An advantage of this method is that you will have a hardcopy vCard file in your email that you can then download & archive/store anywhere, not just in some unknown location somewhere in the cloud. When you want to restore your contacts anytime in the future, email the file as an attachment to yourself, access that email from your iDevice, click on the attachment and follow the directions to import the contacts.

    When connection your iPhone to iTunes, go to the "info"-tab (I think it's called), and check the box "Sync contacts from Address Book". This should do the job.

  • How can I get my contacts from iPhone ios5 to my mac osx10.6

    I recently upgraded my late model 2006 iMac to OS Lion. I also updated my iPhone to IOS5.
    Lion is not really configured to work seamlessly with an older mac, so I reverted back to OSX 10.6.
    This means I've lost all contacts in my address book.
    Is there a way of retrieving contacts from my iPhone IOS5 so I can add them back onto my mac?
    This is so frustrating and until I can afford a new mac, I need to find a way of getting my contacts back.
    At the moment I don't want to synch my phone with my mac for fear of losing content on my phone.

    It might take a bit longer, but it's risk free:
    Use your iMac to send your contacts in an email to yourself
    Open them using your iphone.
    They should arrive as vcf format and you click to open it and hey presto!
    Also works the other way round, so when I receive an email from a new contact, I register it on my iphone and click on "share contact", sending it to me which I then open on my Powerbook.

  • How can I get my contacts from PC (outlook) to ipad air?

    I found how to get contacts from ipad to PC, but I need to go the other way.  PC is Windows 8.1   Ipad air operating system 7.0.6

    Hi Skydiver119.
    Yes, I sync my music to my PC on iTunes.  Your instructions are exactly what I've read you are suppose to do but when I go to the info tab, there isn't a choice to sync from outlook.
    Under Sync Contacts it says;
    Your contacts are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud.  Over the air sync settings can be changed on your iPad.
    Thanks again Skydiver119 for your help.
    If I don't hear anything else, I will try to export my contacts and email them to myself but I would think I would have to enter them manually that way, but I don't know.

    Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID.  If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud

    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer, which is selected under the Info tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Sync your iPhone 4S with the same address book app on your computer as you were syncing the iPhone 4 with.

    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.
