How do I get my contacts from my mac to my phone?

My contacts recently deleted for no reason on my phone. They are on my Contacts in my laptop though. How do I sync the contacts to end up on my phone?

Set up the same iCloud account on both devices and activate Contacts (Mac: "System Preferences > iCloud" and iPhone: "Settings > iCloud"). Make sure that your contacts on your Mac are stored in iCloud and not in the local address book. If this is the case, then just copy them from the local address book to the iCloud address book.

  • How do i get my contacts from the cloud to my phone?

    I erased all of my contacts from my phone on accident. How do I get them from the cloud back to my phone?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you deleted your contacts from your contacts app, they will also be deleted in iCloud.
    However if you deleted your account or simply turned contacts syncing off, you should be able to log back into your account or re-enable contacts syncing and they would repopulate your contacts app.
    Could you perhaps tell us which of these you have done.

  • How do I get my contacts from my Mac to the iCloud after the first set up?

    I have all my contacts on my MacBook but only some of them went into the iCloud. How do I "re-do" the initial launch and get all the contacts in the icould to now sync with my 4s and iPad2?

    I have installed iTunes 10.5 on my mac and iOS5 on my iphone 3GS, but can't seem to get my address book to sync to my phone thru iCloud.
    I opened System Preferences on the mac as you have described above but don't see an option for "iCloud".
    I've also tried to switch off the iCloud sync on the phone to revert syncing with my Mac but it appears that this doesn't work now.  So I'm stuck!
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks.

  • How do I get my contacts from the icloud on pc?

    How do I get my contacts from the icloud on pc? I am not able to get my contact on a different phone. I can't even see my contact without iphone.
    So tell me from where i'll be able to get my contact or contact backup in pc

    If your contacts are in iCloud, you can view them from your PC at icloud.com.  You can also download them as a vCard as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606.   If your computer meets the system requirements, you can also sign into your iCloud account on your computer and sync the contacts using Outlook (PC) or Address Book/Contacts (Mac), as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/.

  • How do I get my contacts from Droid Bionic to iphone 4?

    How do I get my contacts from Droid Bionic to iphone 4?

        Centurion, congrats on your upgrade! I'm sure you'll enjoy the iPhone 4. There are several ways to transfer your contacts. First, are your contacts backed up to either Hotmail/Live or Google? If so, then you can setup that account as Microsoft Exchange account on your iPhone. For Hotmail/Live, http://bit.ly/14VLVIV. For Google, http://bit.ly/XzDaRC.
    Let me know if you need further assistance, or have your contacts saved another way.

  • How to I get my contacts from the iCloud  to my new phone

    I am having problems with my new iphone5 the lady in the shop saved all my contacts on the iCloud and said I could get them once I have started up my new phone.does anyone know how I can get my contacts from the iCloud to new iPhone. Thanks

    It depends on how she saved them on iCloud.  Check your contacts on icloud.com from your computer.  If they are there, all you need to do is go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your iCloud ID, then turn Contacts to On. 
    If your contacts aren't on icloud.com, she may have simply backed up your phone to iCloud.  If that's the case, you would have to restore the backup to your new phone by going to Settings>General>Reset, tapping Erase All Content and Settings (which will erase the phone), then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup.
