How do I get an iPhone contact to appear in iCloud?

I have a contact that shows up on my iPhone, but not in my iCloud (viewed from a MacBook).  How do I get the contact to appear in in both?
iPhone version 7.1.1
MacBook OS X version 10.9.4

However, some show up as "linked" contacts, some show up only on the phone, and some show up only on the Mac.
How, then, do I get a contact that shows up only on the phone to ALSO show up on the Mac?  And vice versa?
On the iPhone...
Settings > iCloud - Contacts to Off.
If it asks to Delete to contacts, make sure you keep them.
Then Settings > iCloud - Contacts to On and if asked, select Merge contacts.
On your Mac...
System prefs > iCloud - Contacts to Off.
If it asks to delete contacts, make sure you keep them.
Then System prefs > iCloud - Contacts to On and if asked, select Merge Contacts.

    Click on your iPhone in iTunes, and check under the Info section where you can choose which app to sync with. Is Windows Live Mail an option?

    You would have to export your contacts from Exchange and import them into iCloud somehow. I have to admit I don't know of an easy way to do this but maybe one of the other volunteers here will know how to do it.

  • HT201269 How do I get my iPhone contacts synced to my new iPad?

    I just got a new iPad. I have an iPhone with tons of phone numbers and contact information on it. How do I get those on my new iPad without having to type them all in?

    Go to
    Settings>iCloud(make sure it's the same apple I'd as your iPhone)>sign in if not>click on for contacts
    It should sync maybe not immediately, give it a minute or two.

  • How can I get my iPhone contacts from my itunes to icloud so I can restore to an iPhone3GS using a newer PC.

    Hi,
    My big issue is I would like to retrieve my contacts
    I have an iPhone 3GS that has been regularly synced to my iTunes 9.02? on an older powerbook running 10.4.11. I would like to have a new iMac but the delivery time currently for the configuration I wanted is 8 - 10 weeks.
    The iPhone has been regularly crashing so the local Apple store advised me to upgrade the OS which I was only able to do using a PC as I couldn't do it using my Mac.
    Now I'm stuck. The iPhone is asking me if I want to restore from itunes (on the PC which as far as I know has nothing on it) OR from icloud which seems to have only one contact (me) OR to set up a new phone. I cannot use my old Mac now as when I plug in the phone it tells me its not compatible.
    Am I screwed? Should I give up, get a new blackberry and just forget about Apple after being a loyal user for 25 years?
    Can I somehow find a way to get the iPhone backup from the old Mac itunes up to icloud?

    I solved my problem eventually by getting all the devices - 2 iphones, the newish pc and the older Mac on icloud.
    All media, calenders and messages were lost from the iphones, except for purchased itunes that I paid another $30 to Apple to save for me and also paid Appple some more to use icloud but the good news is I did save my contacts
    I opened all of my contacts and pretty much had to edit and drag them over almost individually as they weren't all in some sort of configuration that Apple liked - i.e. if an email address ended in ch or es or de it might not be accepted as a properly configured vcard.
    It would be nice if Apple made it a litle easier when you have older devices and need to get them in sync with newer ones.

  • How do I get desktop ical calendars to appear in ICloud

    I'm helping an office mate to get her new iphone, etc to work in concert.  We've updated her desktop to Lion.  Trying to get everything to synch.  What a royal pain.  I've been using Google Calendar and Contacts and Email for a year and a half with no problem synching everything across my android phone and multiple computers and ipads without a problem.  It's platform independant.  Everything can be web based.  What the heck was Apple thinking. 
    Can anyone point me to a document that explains how this is supposed to work...?

    I've been using Google Calendar and Contacts and Email
    for a year and a half with no problem synching everything across my android phone and multiple computers and ipads without a problem
    What does that have to do with the problem you're having with your office mates phone? I've been using iCloud and it's predecessor MobileMe for even longer than that without a problem... so what?
    Everything can be web based.  What the heck was Apple thinking.
    Huh? iCloud is web-based too: http://www.icloud.com/
    What exactly isn't working? And what exactly have you tried? Have you followed the setup instructions?
    Can anyone point me to a document that explains how this is supposed to work...?

    How do I sync my iPhone contacts on iPad Air.
    iCloud is already enabled and configured on both devices but can not get my contacts in the iPad.  Additionally, the groups button isn't in contacts app and when I save a new contact on the iPad simply disappears and again is no contact in the contact list.

    I backed up my old iPhone on iCloud, ensuring that contacts was 'on' and then backed up my new iPhone 5. I have surely missed a vital step, but I can't figure it out.
    I'd really appreciate any help.
