How to move my contacts from iCloud to my 4s

Hello,
I just looked into my contacts less than an hour ago to see that they have all been mysteriously deleted and I cannot figure out why. Actually I don't really care why or how they were deleted, I just want them back.
I have read other discussions saying they'll be stored on iCloud, (they are) and that if I go into Settings>iCloud and turn contacts off and on I should get a prompt to merge my contacts. Unfortunately, I don't get a prompt like that at all.
Is there something I am doing wrong or is there something I am missing? I'm not too pleased that the contacts were deleted randomly, but there should be a way to move my contacts back over from iCloud considering I can see them right now on my computer screen.
Thanks for any help!

Reset the device.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Then tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Contacts off then back on.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.

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.

PS sorrry, previous question was a mistake

At http://icloud.com go to the Contacts page. Select all your contacts, click the cogwheel icon at bottom left and select 'Export vCard'.
Now open Address Book on your Mac. From the File menu choose 'Import' and select your exported file. Of course if it contains entries which are also on the Mac you will get duplicates.

One thing I noticed though is for my name, it used to have an image of a person. That is gone now on my phone but on my computer. Is that only in iCloud?

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 to move my contacts from my iphone 3G to a 4G without icloud

Just sync them to the new iphone.

How do I get contacts from iCloud back on my mac?

How I got to this place is too long a story, but I ended up with a system iCloud dialogue box on my macbook pro, and the gist of the questions were Do you want to make it so if I quit iCloud my contacts (Notes, Reminders, etc) will no longer remain on your mac? I didn't want to do this, but it seemed it wasn't letting me proceed without hitting the highlighted agree button, so I did.
I definitely want my contacts back on my Mac. How can I go about getting them from iCloud back onto my mac? I don't intend to quit iCloud, but I have years worth of contacts that I don't want to ever lose.
Notes would be the next most important one to get back onto my mac. Reminders after that. Thanks much in advance for your help.
Michael

Hi Michael Gorsline1,
I understand that you turned off iCloud on your Mac and subsequently lost all of your contacts, notes, and reminders. If your information, remains on iCloud.com, you can merge that information back onto your Mac by signing back into iCloud and selecting the services you would like to sync.

How do move ALL contacts from other groups into iCloud contacts group

Is there a way to make Icloud contacts the default for the "groups" on my iphone ?
OR
is there a way to merge ALL the other groups into icloud contacts so i just have the one Icloud group to deal with on the iphone ?
Thanks !

This page: http://www.macworld.com/article/1054187/outlooktoaddress.html - has this to say:
'Under Outlook 2002 you could simply open your contacts and drag them to the desktop to turn them into vCards. No longer. Try this and the contacts are converted to messages.
While you can select a single Outlook contact, choose File -> Save As and, in the resulting dialog box, choose vCard Files from the Save as Type pop-up menu, this works only for individual contacts—you can’t export a group of contacts this way.
You have a few options for eventually getting the things out of Outlook. The first is to select all your contacts and choose Action -> Forward as vCard. Outlook will create a new email message that contains all your contacts as individual vCard attachments. Send this message to yourself, pick it up on the Mac, drag these files into Address Book or Entourage’s Address Book and you’re good to go.
Or Sperry Software can lend a hand with its $20 vCard Converter Add-in for Microsoft Outlook. This adds a service that enables Outlook to export all your contacts as a single vCard.'
A Microsoft Help Page suggests:
'The simplest way to do this would be to export your Outlook contacts to a tab-delimited file and then import that into Address Book.
In Outlook select File menu --> Export... and select Contacts to a list (tab-delimited text).
Save the new file to your Desktop.
In Apple's Address Book select File menu --> Import... and select your file.
Use the next window to match the field names in Address Book with those in your export file'
If using either method you import into Address Book you can sync that to iCloud, which is probably easier than trying to import into the iCloud website. If you're prepared to splash out $20 the Sperry Software program would simplify matters a lot.

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 to move email contacts from a folder to my email account?

please respond to: [email protected]

Hi Trevor,
To move all users’ desktop to a server, we can use Folder Redirection to do this. The path for Folder Redirection is:
[Group Policy Object Name]\User Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Folder Redirection
In this situation, we can choose to redirect desktop to the root of a network file share or a folder on a network share.
Regarding how to configure this, the following article can be referred to for more information.
