How do I move my iPad contacts into the iCloud "folder?"

Ok, folks, I'd like to use the iCloud Contacts function but my iPad 2 is showing them in a "Contacts" folder and not in the iCloud folder. How do I move them into this iCloud folder and thus into the iCloud?
Thanks

Dear Jerrydon,
If your Microsoft Outllok is not connected to an Exchange server then Wallace-izm have the right tip. However, I assume that you use Microsoft Outlook with Exchange which is connected to your work email. The best option is to create an Exchange Account on your iPad and any change made in either the PC or your iPad will be synced both ways. But beware that this will consume Data and you should check your data plan beforehand.
Go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calenders in your iPad. Now select Add Account... and select Microsoft Exchange from the list. Now you need to insert some information which you can collect from your IT guys or a Tech Savvy colleagues. Once you have set up the account, you can choose which ones you want to sync with - Mail, Contacts, Calenders etc. The first sync will take some time but subsequent Syncs will take much less time.
Now your mails will start coming into your iPad. All your MS Outlook Exchange Contacts will also shown up in your iPad contacts. You can choose how frequently your mails are fetched or you can check mails manually.

How can I move all my contacts into a single email group from all the other group?

I've got several email accounts, but my contacts are spread across them. Of course, when I access or search my contacts they do all get searched together, but I need to delete an account and this will result in me losing many contacts.
So before I do this, I want to consolidate all my contacts into my main personal email group account. But short of doing them one by one, I can't find a way and I have several thousand contacts at risk of being lost.
Can anyone advise me?

Go to your Contacts on your Mac - if more than one pick the most accurate; delete any contacts you don't want. Select all the contacts, and from the File menu choose 'Export...'>'Export vCard'. Save the resultant file safely: it will be your 'master' list.
Now delete all the contacts from whichever device has the most in it. Sync with iCloud. If necessary repeat with different Macs. The result should be that the deletions sync to iCloud and in the end you finish up with empty Contacts lists everywhere.
Now you can import your saved file to one of your Macs. Make sure you import it under 'iCloud' not 'On My Mac'. Then it should propagate iCloud and any other devices. Keep the saved file at least until you are satisfied that all is in order.

How can I delete all my contacts from the icloud?

I've been working with Apple's sometime, and now I have been forced to use iCloud after MobileMe.
After syncing a couple of devices, some things went quite wrong. My iCloud contacts are now a complete mess. I have lots of duplicates. And over 8000 contacts.
What I want to do is, is do a cleanup, and clear all the iCloud contacts, and import a new 'clean' address book from 1 mac to the icloud, which then in it's turn can be synced to all the devices?
Is dit possible? I've noticed deleting manually is a pain, because the browser doesn't really allow more then 50 contacts or so at a time, before the browser freezes.

If I receive an sms - how do I reply adding another contact into the conversation?

Sorry guys can't figure out a way to do it

I don't think there is a way. You could send a NEW message to multiple people, but the people you add wouldn't be able to see the previous conversation .

HT201317 How do I move photos from iPhoto to the iCloud?

I just want to get some pictures off of my laptop and I want to ensure that they are in a safe space. iCloud is different than Photo Stream right? Is there a way to just store the photos in iCloud? I don't want to lose the photos in 30 days, if I put them in Photo Stream.
Thank you!

iCloud can not do what you want.
Try a service like DropBox
You can get 2GB of free storage with the option to purchase more. Your photos will be stored in the cloud and will be available to your internet connected devices.

How do you import a standalone track into a take folder?

Hi folks,
I have a "take folder" with a few attempts at a vocal track, but before I learned about this feature, I recorded another take on the vocals, which is still a separate track, outside of the take folder with the other takes. How do I move that first take into the take folder? When I drag it in, it just replaces the entire contents of the take folder.
Thanks!
-Mike Kaplan

Go to the Info inspector for the still image and in settings select the alpha type.

Hi: How do I move photos from iphoto to the "pictures" file?

Hi: How do I move photos from iphoto into the Pictures file? I just purchased a digital camera and the software is only available for photos in the pictures file. Thanks.

What camera and software is it and why do you want to use it instead of iPhoto? Is this software that came with the camera? You don't need to use it as iPhoto is all you need. That software is not compatible with iPhoto so you would have to abandon iPhoto if you want to use the camera's software.

One option is forwarding your Outlook contacts as vCard files which can be imported by the Address Book on your Mac, followed by being synced with your iPad.
In Outlook, select all contacts and at the menu bar select forward as vCard. Each contact will be a separate vCard file. Send the email to an email account you are accessing with the Mail app on your Mac.
Save the attached vCard files in a folder created on your Desktop or in whichever chosen location for the folder. At the Address Book menu bar, go to File and select Import navigating to the folder that incudes the vCard files. Open the folder to select.

You can't save a PDF directly to the photos app, but if you can open the PDF in the mail app and get the entire PDF to appear on the screen, take a screenshot of it and that will be saved to the photos app camera roll.
Hold down on the sleep button and the home button at the same time briefly until you see the white flash on the screen and hear the shutter sound. That's how to take a screenshot.
You should probably tap and hold down on the PDF in the mail app and select it to open in iBooks or another PDF app that you might have on the iPad.

How do I move my contacts from MobileMe to iCloud?

This should happen when you migrate. If ir didn't and you need to move them into the iCloud account manually:
Go to groups and select the 'On My Mac' group.
Make sure nothing is typed into the search field.
Click on the first contact in the list on the right side.
Shift-click on the last contact in the list (to select all contacts).
Drag the contacts to the 'iCloud' account.
You can then delete the contacts in the 'On My Mac' group if you wish.
This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Address Book.

How do i erase a corrupt contact list from iCloud,iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro and restore Address Book backup to all devices and cloud?

how do i erase a corrupt contact list from iCloud,iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro and restore Address Book backup to all devices and cloud?
I saved a corrected, most up to date version of my master Address Book Contacts as a back-up on my Mac Book Pro.
then in an effort to "simplify my life" i attempted to sync my I phone contacts - ( pre clean-up version) with my clean list on Mac Book Pro, New I pad and newly available icloud. DUH!! Using iTunes to do the sync caused the clean MacBOOK Pro list to be commingled with the dirty iphone contacts. amd now the whole mess is in the cloud.
I need to clear out the contaminated lists from all iplaces, and startover with Back-up on my macbook pro. BUT HOW???

I had exported an address book backup: abbu
so since i wrote, i have found my way into the cloud: selected all entries - deleted them all from the cloud.
This wiped out contacts on my iphone and i pad, and MBP, as well as on the cloud. I then imported the abbu back into my now empty address book.
To repopulate the crowd, i selected all in my address book and created a single card vCard for export to my desktop. I then dragged that vcard into my empty cloud. Now my cloud has the same clean contacts as my MBP addressbook. The cloud then pushed the clean contacts into my empty ipad and iphone contacts.
I had to go back to Address Book>preferences>Accounts and Add an I cloud account - but if you accidentally create a second i cloud account - all of a sudden your address book will duplicate itself. I quickly reversed it by deleting one of the icloud accounts in my Address Book>preferences>Accounts.
I created a new entry on my MBP and it is now on all devices and in cloud
I also created a new entry on my iPhone and it is now in the address book on my MBP.
I feel empowered!!

How do I move a user's sparse image BACK into the correct folder

Please help if you can!
I accidentally moved the sparse image connected to my administrator account into the 'shared' folder. (I was trying to confirm shared settings between users, and inadvertently moved the file.) There were no error messages or warnings, the file moved easily into the shared folder.
After it was moved, I was unable to login to that user's desktop, and the only explanation is "...because there was an error." The only thing I can think of is that it's because of the moved sparse image for that user.
But, I can't move it back. The computer won't allow me to move the file, and when I try to copy it to the appropriate folder I get an error message that there is not enough disk space. I tried creating a new administrator account, but that didn't work. I've tried changing the file-sharing settings, but nothing I've thought of doing has worked. I've tried turning off Fire Vault for that user, but I can't seem to do it from a different user account.
If you have any ideas of how I could log into this user account, I would be very, very grateful. It's my main desktop, and I need access to the files located there!
Please help!!

Dear jsd2 and William,
Thank you both so much for your help. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate both of you taking the time to help me figure out this problem.
William - The Library folder was basically empty. It had some Quicktime preferences in it, but nothing else. The Terminal didn't even recognize it, and I actually couldn't delete through Terminal, but simply sent it to the trash. Even so, I couldn't log in the user account.
jsd2 - I was able to log in as root and had no problems opening the sparseimage. I then copied all of the data to an external HD. Once that was finished I verified the sparseimage mounted disk, but there were no problems found. Even so, I repaired disk, but still no problems found. Even so, I couldn't log into the user account. I did get to the point where it asked for the master FireVault password (by entering the wrong password 3 or 4 times). It accepted the master password, but then it wouldn't let me change the password and login (the master password only led me to a new-password screen).
So, after verifying that ALL of my data was safely on the external HD (including music, pictures, mailboxes, files, etc...), I deleted the user account and home folder for the account I was locked out of. Then, I created a new account, and manually transfered the necessary files back into the user folder. Then, I restarted my computer and breathed a huge sigh of relief when my wallpaper came up on the screen. About 98% of my settings are in tact. All music, pictures, files, and e-mails survived. Although I have to re-ad the actual e-mail accounts, all of the other account settings are there.
I will leave the copied files on the external HD for at least a few days or a week to make sure nothing important is missing, then I will set up Time Machine and start making regular backups.
So, thank again, both of you, for your invaluable help, which led to a successful, if somewhat roundabout, solution to this problem.
Also, jsd2, I don't remember if I turned Fire Vault off when I upgraded or not. It seems to me that the directions said I should, and in which case I would have - but the upgrade wasn't recent, so I don't really remember. (Or rather - clearly I didn't, if what you say is true.) At the moment, FireVault is off for all accounts on this computer. I want to turn it back on, but, to be honest, I'm really scared to now....Since I don't know what caused the problem in the first place, I'm leery that if the problem hasn't been fixed I might end up in the same situation again. Although I hadn't had any problems before today, and I know that I must have done something in the 'sharing' settings that created the problem.

How do I move my music folder it into the iTunes folder?

Before I had an iPod all my music was in the My Music folder. When I started using an iPod and iTunes I left all my music in the My Music folder. I have been reading how to back up or move my music and I see my setup is not a good one.
I want to correct my setup by getting all my music into the iTunes folder. How do I do this the right way? Once I do this will all my music, art, play lists, and ratings be together so they all get backed up and/or can be move to an external drive?
My Music folder is about 60 gb and the free space on my hard drive is about 17 gb.

You should have been syncing your contacts with your computer from the very beginning. The contacts should be on your computer in Outlook, address book or whatever program you set up to sync.
