How do I transfer contacts from iCloud to my phone?

The Apple guy at the store moved all my contacts to iCloud and restarted my phone. Now all my contacts are gone from the phone but are still in iCloud. How do I get them back on the phone?

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!!!

    Hello Sm1942, 
    You can sync your contacts in one of two ways. The first way is to use iTunes to sync them over and you can find the option in the Info tab to sync them. The other option is using a syncing service like iCloud and you can set that up on both on your iPhone and your MacBook Air. For information on how doing either option, the articles below will get you going.

    Please how do I transfer Contacts from old Nokia N8 to my new iPhone 4S?
    Yes there is,
    Download and install Nokia Suite for your PC. After installation, go to "tools" in the top menu and click on "options". The Options window should open up. on the left side select "contacts" and then under "sync with contacts application", select "Windows Contacts". After this click on "ok".
    Connect your Nokia C3-00 to the computer with Nokia Suite still open. Your phone will show up in the application. Move mouse cursor over the contacts square on the left of the application window, and then click "sync". Wait for the sync to finish. Disconnect the Nokia phone.
    Download and install iTunes. Connect your iphone. from this application you will be given an option to import contacts from Windows contacts. This should give you all the contacts.

    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?

    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.

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

  • How do i transfer contacts from a broken iphone to another?

    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!

  • How do I transfer contacts from a backup to iPhone?

    I just restored my iPhone as a new phone. I have a backup saved in my computer, not in iCloud. So my question is: how do I transfer contacts from that backup to my newly restored phone, and ONLY the contacts, nothing more (that's the whole point of my restoring my phone as a new phone).
    I don't know if all of that makes sense, but if someone knows how to do that, please help me, I can't afford to lose those hundreds of contacts.

    Download a free copy of ibackupbot for your computer and try it.  If you think it is what you want you have to pay $30

  • How do you transfer contacts  from iphone to new ipad?

    how do you transfer contacts  from iphone to new ipad?

    "Paired"?  I think you are saying you were trying to use Bluetooth to do this transfer.  That will not work.
    Instead, try one of these two methods:
    1.  Use iCloud to contain the contacts.  Then set both the iPad and iPhone up to reference the iCloud contacts.
    2.  Sync the iPhone using iTunes on your computer.  Then sync the iPad using the same iTunes.
    (This may or may not work depending on what you use to house the contacts.)

    How can I transfer contacts from my iPhone to a new iPad with another Apple-ID?

    You can't. Not directly anyway. You might be able to import them to your computer and then sync them to the iPad but there is no way to transfer them over the air or by connecting the two devices with a cable.
    I know absolutely nothing about apps like this, but I did a very quick Google search and found this.
