how do i move my contacts from iCloud to mac book air

Welcome to the Apple community.
All you need to do is enable contacts in system preferences > iCloud on your Mac. Once you do this a sync will commence and your contacts application will be populated with your contacts from iCloud.

  • How do I move a contact from one group to another?

    On my device, or in iCloud on the web, how do I move a contact from one group to another.  This should be as easy as it is with calender items, but the only solution I've found is to change your default contact group, and email the contact to yourself.  Then tap the contact, and add it to your contact list.  You can then delete the original.  Is there an easier way???

  • I have updated from IPhone 4 to IPhone4S - how can I move my contacts from one to another?

    I have updated from IPhone 4 to Iphone 4S - how can I move my contacts from previous phone to IPhone 4S?

    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.

  • How do I move a file from Icloud to my hard drive?

    How do I move a file from Icloud to my hard drive?

    From the appropriate application (eg, Pages, TextEdit, etc) find your file(s) in iCloud (use File - Open), then highlight (you can multiple-select) the files you want to move, and drag them to your desktop or another Finder location.

    If you already have your contacts in iCloud, you should be able to turn it on within the iCloud preference pane, as noted in the article below:

  • How can I move email archive from XP laptop to MacBook Air?

    I have a large archive of emails in Thunderbird on my XP Vaio laptop. How do I shift them all to my new Mac Book Air? I tried following the instructions, which sent me to this section:
    How to find your profile
    Click on the menu button or menu bar.
    From the Help menu, click Troubleshooting Information.
    In the Application Basics section, Profile Folder, click on Show Folder .
    The Windows Explorer window will show the name of the profile as well as the path to it.
    -- However, there is no Troubleshooting information on the Help menu. So I am stuck.

    What version of Thunderbird are you running?

  • HT204150 Following problem: I have around 600 contacts on my iphone and Ipad and would like to sync with contact list on my mac book air but its not working and whatever I do I get stuck on the 44 contacts I have on my mac  contact-list. Please Help!!!! 

    ollowing problem: I have around 600 contacts on my iphone and Ipad and would like to sync with contact list on my mac book air but its not working and whatever I do I get stuck on the 44 contacts I have on my mac  contact-list. Please Help!!!!  thanks

    First, be sure that the contacts on the devices are in the "icloud" section and not the "On my iPhone" (or iPad) section of the contact listings/groups.
    Missing contacts:
    Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Contacts page.  If most of them are gone, then they are gone. 
    If they show up, then the problem is that your device is not connecting to the Contacts database on icloud. 
    On the device, go to Settings>icloud.  Be sure icloud is on and using the right ID.  If not, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Delete Account - this just disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost.  Then log back in using the correct ID.  ALSO - be sure the Contacts are turned on (on the same screen).
    Note:  Contacts are not part of an iCloud backup, since they are part of contacts database on iCloud's servers.   So performing a restore will not help.
    Contacts are gone from icloud.com.
    Then they have been deleted.  There are many reasons for this.  One possibility is that someone else is using the same iCloud account (family member, etc.) and they deleted contacts, thinking they did want them on THEIR device.  How to get them back?  Unfortunately, an iCloud backup does not include any of the sync databases, like contacts, notes, calendars, reminders, etc. because the data is already stored in these databases.  Your only hope for restoring the data is if you had that data on a computer (like a mac's Contacts, Calendars, etc.) and that data was backed up using whatever backup software you typically use (e.g. Time Machine on a mac).  Just restore the data files back to the computer.  Other than that, I'm afraid the data is gone.

  • How do I move my contacts from Yahoo to my iCloud on my 4s?

    I transferred all of my contacts onto yahoo from my old phone as this was the only way I could then move them to my 4s.
    I was wondering how I could move them onto my iCloud aswell as my iPhone and then delete my Yahoo account, so everything is only backed up there?
    I've looked all over google and can't find anything specific enough to find a resolution.
    Thankyou for your help.

    The depending on how many contacts you have, you may have to email them to your self and upload them using drag and drop one at a time.  You do this by opening the contact on your phone, tap Share a Contact on bottom right, tap Email, send to your self, drag and drop attachment to icloud.com contacts as before.  It shouldn't have any problem importing individual contacts in this way.  If you have lots of them, the you may have to consider purchasing 3rd party software such as Touch Copy which can access the contacts on your phone directly, allowing you to drag and drop them as individual vCards to a desktop folder all at once, where in turn you can drag and drop them to icloud.com all at once.

  • How do I move a contact from group A to group B

    How can I move or manage my contacts between multiple groups

    Hello Buzzbeer2,
    It sounds like you would like to move a contact from one group to another.  You can do this by dragging the contact from one group to the other and then deleting the contact from the original group. 
    Use the steps below to achieve this:
    Add contacts to a group
    Click All Contacts.
    Drag one or more contacts from the All Contacts list to another group on the left.
    You can add a contact to more than one group.
    To select several adjacent contacts, click the first one, then Shift-click the last one. To select multiple nonadjacent contacts, Command-click them on a Mac or Control-click them on a Windows computer.
    iCloud: Create a group and add contacts to it
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2667
    Step 1 above says to select All Contacts, but you can also drag a contact from another group.  Once you have added the contact to the appropriate group, you can remove it from the previous group by following these steps:
    Remove a contact from a group
    Select the group the contact belongs to.  If you don’t see your groups, click the Groups button.
    Choose Edit > Remove From Group.  The contact is removed from the group but stays in Contacts.

  • In contacts app how can I move a contact from one group to another group?

    I find I cannot move a contact from one group to another group. If I delete a contact from one group I delete that contact from my total contact population. I did not have this problem in earlier IOS versions. Can anyone help me?

    Thanks SO much, Barney.  How embarrassing, I could have sworn that I tried that first.
    I will definitely get them all moved over before I delete that account and I've already gone in & changed my preferences.  Several years ago, my husband I decided to share one calendar and one contacts list, using his mobile me account and it's been great for us.  I'm particularly thrilled to no longer serve as a human rolodex and I guess that I paniced a bit when I thought there might be a problem with our system.  I'm still confused where that "On my mac" account came from on the first place.  Do you suppose that was an automatic thing that came with the Mountain Lion upgrade?
    thanks again!
