How do I transfer contacts from iCloud to iPhone?

I managed to delete all contacts on iPhone by accident.  All my contacts are still in iCloud.  How do I get them back on my phone?

I opened contacts and tapped on groups (I only have 2, iCloud and 'on my phone'). All of the contacts are in 'on my phone' and none are in iCloud.
Start by making a precautionary backup of your contacts by downloading the app My Contacts Backup.  (If you have more than 500 contacts you will need the “Pro” version.)  Use the app to back up thecontacts on your phone as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts off and select Delete from My iDevice when prompted.  After a few seconds, turn Contacts on again and choose Merge when prompted.  Go to icloud.com and confirm that your contacts are in iCloud now. 
If your contacts are still not in iCloud, delete any contacts on your phone by opening the My Contacts Backup app, tap the gear-shaped icon on the lower right and in the window that opens, scroll to the bottom and tap Remove All Contacts.  Then open the email you sent to yourself earler and tap the attachment to import the contacts back to your device, and to iCloud.  Go to icloud.com and confirm that they appear now.

    How do i transfer contacts from my iphone that will not turn on, to another working iphone?

    Hey dbricknr,
    If you signed into your device with an iCloud account and backed up your contacts through iCloud, the next time you go onto that new working iPhone be sure to sign in into your iCloud account.
    To do so, please follow perform these instructions on your iPhone:
    Settings > iCloud > You should see somewhere with an option to sign in, from there sign in. > Once you do that, go back to the iCloud settings page on your iPhone and make sure Contacts are on.
    Turning the contacts slide on should backup your new contacts you added on this phone, (If I'm correct)
    Your contacts should now appear in your contacts section.
    Hope this helps!

    Hi
    I just figured out how to restore contacts from icloud....
    Try this if you already have the contacts tab turned on in iclouds on ur phone settings...& it still have no contacts:
    Go to icloud.com - contacts
    bottom left hand corner is the gear icon which is settings - then select all
    This selects all your contacts then go to export as tv card or something like that
    A window pops up asking u to save - save onto ur computer where u can access easily
    go to ur email, compose new email & attach the saved contact list that u just saved onto ur computer
    on ur phone open mail, then open ur email with the attached contacts
    open the attached contacts - at the top it will say ' add all contacts' select that
    then it will pop up 'create as new contacts' or 'merge contacts'
    i selected create as new contacts as iphone 4 deleted all my contacts from my phone
    after a while it downloaded all my contacts back onto my phone which I double checked by entering the contacts app from my iphone
    so happy i got all my contacts back yay! i had over 400!!!

  • How do i transfer contacts from an inactive iphone 4

    I am trying to transfer contacts from my husband's inactive Iphone 4 so that my daughter can use it as an Ipod Touch more or less...
    Itunes is not recognizing the phone when it is plugged into our PC by USB.

  • How to transfer contacts from Icloud to Iphone

    I have a new Iphone that I have set up but I can't get my contacts and my calendar from Icloud.  Please help.  Thanks!!!

    Your other data (such as messages, your call history, etc.) and settings are stored in your backup, with the exception of email, which is stored on the email provider's server.  Restoring your backup would transfer your other data and settings.

  • How do I transfer contacts from Android to iPhone 4s?

    I am trying to transfer my contacts from Android (Sony Xperia mini pro) to iPhone 4s, by using my google-account. However, it doesn't seem to work.
    I've added my google account as an exchange-account, and checked off the "syncronize contacts". But no contacts appear.
    When I log on to iTunes, under "info", I just do not get the option to check off the "Syncronize contacts from", there is no box to check, only for mail.
    Anyone know what to do? I really need my contacts!!

    Use this app My Contacts Backup on the iTunes App Store,
    It will make a vcard (.vcf) file containing your contacts and email it to the address you choose. Just import it to the iCloud account on your Mac and it will be available to all your Macs and IOS devices in iCloud.
    If you keep a copy after you import you will have a handy backup as well.

  • How do I transfer contacts from my old Iphone 3g to my new Iphone 4

    Hi everyone!
    I've been using an iphone 3g (carrier locked) for the last 2 years and I've recently purchased an Iphone 4 (carrier locked). First thing I did, was activated the micro Sim through my carrier's website (thus deactiviting the old sim). But I've soon realized that my iTunes now won't recognize my iphone 3g (saying that the Sim card is not supported) and I can't backup my contacts to load it onto my new iphone. Can someone help me?!
    Thank youu!! Much appreciated!

    Hi,
    You can use your Address Book from Either windows or mac and then can sync your contact using the info TAB in iTunes.

  • How do i transfer photos from icloud to iphone?

    I got a new iphone and i cant see the pics from my icloud

    Welcome to the Apple Community Karin.
    Which photos exactly.
    My webpage here might help you understand the various ways photos can be saved on your device and some of the advantages and disadvantages associated with each method.
    Photos in photo stream...
    You can log into your iCloud account on another computer or device and enable photo stream to see your photos. You should do this as soon as possible because photo stream in the cloud only keeps photos for 30 days and each day you delay, you will lose another days photos.
    Photos in the camera roll...
    If you kept a back up of your device you can use it to restore to a replacement device, this will restore all of the photos in your camera roll and isn't time limited.

    One way would be to e-mail them from yourself to yourself. That would totally avoid the different ID issue.
