How do I download my contacts from my Iphone to Icloud so I can add them to my Ipad

I have all my contacts on my Iphone, I have recently set up an I cloud account and want to transfer my contacts from my Iphone, to I cloud so they can be uploaded onto my Ipad?
Can I do this or is there a easier way?

I never said that it would, I am correcting the entry errors right now.
Now that you have set iCloud as the default account for new contacts (as previously you were not entering them in the iCloud account) can you enter 1 test contact into your iPhone, wait a short while then go to www.icloud.com and check that it is there, if it is it not please refresh the page. Once it appears on the iCloud website it should also appear on the iPad.
Try that and post back with the result.
Note: Contacts that are in Hotmail or Facebook are not in iCloud and will need you to either transfer them to iCloud (bad idea for Facebook) or add the same accounts to the iPad as are present on the iPhone.

  • HT204150 how to I get my contacts from my iphone to icloud?

    I have a lot of contacts on my phone, but only a few of them are on my icloud.  How do I get them to sync?

    To do so, do the following:
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  (You will need the "pro" version if you have > 500 contacts to transfer).  Use the app to backup the remaining contacts on your phone (from Yahoo) 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.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your Yahoo account and turn off contacts syncing with Yahoo (otherwise you will see duplicate contacts on your device).
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from Yahoo back to your phone, and to iCloud.  All your contacts should now be in iCloud.

    Make sure Contacts is selected in System Preferences > iCloud. That should sync your contacts on your Mac automatically.

  • How do I upload the contacts from my iPhone 5S to the Bluetooth device on my Toyota RAV4.  The car manual says to consult the phone's bluetooth instruction manual, but I don't have one.

    That is very strange... I wonder if it has something to do with the firmware or some sort of error. I haven't ran into this but at the shop I work at I've ran into several firmware errors on iPhone 4 all the way through the 5s. Maybe its something as simple as putting a different part of the code into iTunes... I know you can something of this extent. I would look up error 1669, I know you have tried a number of things but look it up on the forum and see what fixes are available so that you may be able to restore it properly without all this garbage you are running into. Just a thought for you.

    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.

    It's a good idea to backup your Mac Address Book application and iCal Calendars application from each application. This way you can go back and pull out items if you lose something. I do this everyday.

    How do I get my contacts from my iPhone to my iPad

    It depends.  How did your contacts get onto your iPhone in the first place?
    a- Sync'd from your computer through iTunes (e.g. using iTunes to transfer Outlook or GMail contacts), or
    b- Transferred to your iPhone by your cell provider, or
    c- Manually entered, or
    d- You access your contacts via web e-mail like Yahoo.

    How do i sync my contacts from my iPhone with my macbook pro for messaging purposes?

    Hey dthompson2108, 
    Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities. 
    You can sync contacts between your iPhone and MacBook Pro using iCloud or iTunes.
    See this link for help with setting up iCloud on your computer and device(s):
    Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
    Instead of turning on iCloud on your iPhone and Mac, you can sync using iTunes as explained in this article: 
    Sync your iPhone, iPad, and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
    All the best,
    Jeremy

    How do I sync my contacts from my iPhone to my Mac using iTunes 11?

    I ran into this same issue this morning and from what I read within the Apple Communities, the only way to now sync is to use iCloud. 
    I set this up afterward and it seems to work. 
    Make sure you choose your calendar's under the iCloud secition of your calandar's.

  • HT204150 I currently have 14,181 contacts that are on my computer, which an apple tech was nice enough to show me how to transfer all my contacts  from my mac 2 "iCloud " account all though when ever I log into my "iCloud" account it still only shows 13,0

    I currently have 14,181 contacts that are on my computer, which an apple tech was nice enough to show me how to transfer all my contacts  from my mac 2 "iCloud " account all though when ever I log into my "iCloud" account from a different web browser it still only shows 13,032. Meanwhile on my mac book pro, the "icloud" contact is still spinning like its trying to update the rest of the missing contacts. I have let the computer run for 2 days straight and still no progress. Is there a limit to how many contacts I store on "iCloud" I have upgraded to the extra 25 gigs per year. If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it, because its also slowing down my mac book pro significantly causing it hard to do any other task on my computer....Any advice or help would be again greatly appreciated.

    On the surface, it doesn't sound like you're reaching a limit in the number of contacts you can have.
    I would first create a contacts archive (file >> export) for a backup.  Then, go to system preferences >> icloud and uncheck contacts.  Reboot.  Return to those preferences and recheck contacts.
    Also, review http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4489 just in case you have some contact cards that are reaching a different limitation.
