How to move iPad address book to iCloud

I currently have more contacts in my iPad address book than are in my iCloud address book.  While some are duplicates that I will need to clean up, there are definately contacts on the iPad that are not on iCloud.  I think this may have happened when I used an app to clean up dups on my iphone, which then cleaned up iCloud.  Thankfully I do not use the iPad contacts very often and I was able to find the missing contacts on it - after I turned off the syncing with iCloud.  So, how do I get the contacts from iPad moved to iCloud and then to my other devices?  After that is done, how do I remove the duplicates without deleting sim

The correct contacts are on the iPad only.  On the iPad I turned off contacts in iCloud because I fear losing the only correct set of contacts.  When I turned iCloud contacts off on my iPhone and then back on, I was not asked if I wanted to merge, it just synced with the iCloud info.

  • HT2486 how to move the address book from my iphone to the cloud.

    I just erase the info of my address book in my icloud.  How can I re create it from my iphone?

    If you erased your AB in iCloud, then you also erased it on your iPhone if it was enabled with iCloud. Where did you erase it at? The iCloud.com website? Or, another computer. Not really sure what or how you did it.
    If you still have the AB on your iPhone because it wasn't enabled, then if you enable iCloud on it, then the contacts there will be merged into iCloud.
    Do you have a TM backup?

  • How to save my address book to icloud?

    I've been using a Macbook Pro for many years. I save my address book on it. Recently I received an iPad, which meant updating my Macbook pro and iphone to iOS7 and storing the iPad stuff on iCloud.  Suddenly my address book on my phone shows names I deleted 2 years ago and is missing the recent ones.  It seems that at some point I saved it to iCloud when Mac.com was dispanded and we were all forced to "switch" to iCloud.  Bottom line is that the address book on my computer is correct, the one on iCloud is not.  And the iCloud is controlling what goes on my phone or ipad.  Very confusing.  There must be a way I can import the latest version of my contacts from my computer to the iCloud storage, right?  Why can't I find it?

    System Preferences -> iCloud
    Check Contacts

  • How to move old address book (XP) into new computer (8.1) as the existing default address book.

    I have exported the address book in LDIF format and have also found the abook.mab file in my old XP computer. My new W8.1 address book is totally empty. I don't know where to find the Profile folder on W8.1 and when I import the LDIF it creates a new address book folder which I don't want. I just want everything in the default address book.

    Open the newly created address book. Click on one contact to select it. Hit control+a to select them all. Drag and drop them on the personal Address Book folder to move them there.

  • How to get my address book to icloud

    And how to sync it with other Apple devices like my iPad and Iphone without getting duplicates.

    If you are using Mac OS X 10.6.8 as your information shows, you will have to upgrade to at least Mac OS X 10.7.5 to use iCloud on your Mac.
    You can do that by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE and pay the $20 fee and they will send an email with the download code and instructions.

  • How can I move my address book from internet explorer to mozilla

    New at this and I need to know how to move my address book from internet explorer to mozilla. I moved my favorites list but cant find it!!!!!!!

    I don't think Internet Explorer has its own address book. Can you find your addresses by logging into your email website (e.g., Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail) or starting up your email program (e.g., Outlook Express)?
    ''Edit: I was thinking you meant email addresses, but if you meant a different address book, then never mind.''

    After moving from mobileme to icloud, how do I move my address book?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Your address book should have migrated along with your move. If it hasn't go to groups, in "on my mac" group select all the contacts that appear on the right-hand side and drag them to your "iCloud" group.
    Once you have done this you can then delete the contacts from your "on my mac" group.

  • How do I move an address book from a pc to my MacBook Pro

    How do I move an address book from a pc to my new MacBook Pro

    Hey andreafiona,
    You can either manually migrate or use Windows Migration Assistant. I'd like to direct you to two articles - the first one here will go over generally what Windows Migration Assistant is about. For you, I'd skip to the section titled "What gets transferred, and to where?" and then "Email, contacts, and calendar information" so you can read about where you contacts will get moved if you choose the WMA option:
    About Windows Migration Assistant
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4796
    Then, this next article will be a step by step process for transferring from your PC to the MacBook Pro and will include using both Windows Migration Assistant and manually migrating, whichever you choose:

  • How to import the entire address book into icloud?

    Does anyone know how to import the address book in its' entirety into iCloud?
    Thanks.
    debi

    Or you can select all your contacts in Address Book, click File/Export/Export vCard. Save the file to your desktop. Open Contacts at iCloud.com then click the Gear icon in the lower left corner to reveal the Import vCard option.
    It will get your contacts to iCloud and syncing with an iOS device however obviously any changes will not automatically sync between iCloud and the computer.

  • Upload address book to iCloud

    I have Lion running on a macbook with an iCloud account and a archived address book.  I have installed Lion from scratch and set everything up.  I set iCloud in system preferences and create an iCloud account in address book.  At this time the address book has the default card based on the account information.  I inport the address book archive which when imported replaces everything, wipes out the icloud address book account and leaves the address book with a single on my mac account.  I do not see where I can direct the import to the created icloud address book account.  If I go ahead and syn with iCloud by clicking the address book in the iCloud system preferences it goes ahead and asks me to merge the accounts.  When done, I have only the single card left and all of the imported address book contacts are gone.  How can I upload an imported address book to iCloud???

    First, make sure you are running Lion on your iMac
    If so, go to System Preferences --> iCloud --> check off the contacts tab.
    Your calendar will now sync to iCloud.

  • Data in my iMac address book and iCloud contacts do not match.

    The data in my iMac address book and iCloud contacts are different. How can I get my iCloud data to accruately reflect that of my iMac address book? It appears to be an initial synchronization issue. New entries synchronize fine. Appears that initial entries in my Address Book are not showing up in the iCloud Contacts list. Hense, My iPhone coantacts don't match those in my iMac.
    Is there a way to clean out my iCloud contacts on reload/re-sychronize it with my iMac Address Book?

    Nuts isn't it. This seems to have been an issue snce dAY 1.  iT FROSTS ME THAT THERE IS NO SIMPLE QUICK WAY TO UPDATE OR CORRECT the data in both programs simultaneously.. Thats why i decided to just put everytning into the i cloud address brook, and let the one other sit and rot.
    then i got smart and said, why don't I delete the outlookaddress book files. and save on confusion.
    result - both addresses books  and their contents became invisible to outlook.!!!!!! and I can find no way to correct this...to go back to the imperfect world that was.
    I did get the outlook contact s back from an archive - but any thing from icloud has become inaccessible from outlook.  (fortunately i can get the vcard infformation directly from icloud. but I can't access it from outlook mail.... means no replying, forwarding etc - and a time swallowing nuisance..
