How to Sync contacts to iCloud from ios4

How do I sync contacts to iCloud from my iOS 4 iPad?

I don't believe that is possible.
iCloud was released after iOS 4.  And your iPhone 3G cannot run any iOS past iOS 4.2.1.  So you're out of luck until you purchase a newer iPhone.

    how to import Contacts in iCloud from Exchange?

    This usually works:
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (they will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  Use this to backup the remaining contacts on your phone (from your exchange account) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), set this to iCloud.  (This will cause new contacts added to your phone to be added to the iCloud account.)
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and turn off contacts syncing with your exchange account (otherwise you will end up with duplicates on your phone).
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from your exchange account back to your phone and to iCloud.

  • How to sync contacts and calendar from macbook pro to ipad 2?

    How do I sync contacts and calendar from macbook pro to ipad2?

    I have the same problem and have not been able to get contacts transferred from my MacBook Pro to my iPad 2.  I have checked "sync contacts", when it does the sync it says it is syncing contacts, but the address book on the iPad remains empty.  I tried checking the box under "advanced" that says to replace the contacts information on the iPad, sync again, same result—an empty address book on the iPad.  Any suggestions?

  • TS3999 How to sync calendars in iCloud from iPhone to iPad

    I have a new iPad. I have synced my iPad/iPone to iCloud. but my calendar from my iPhone is not showing up on my iPad, or in iCloud, when I pull it up online. Please advise.

    Ok, back now.  Migrating your Google calendar to your Mac is even easier than I thought.  This video will show you how to do this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvFiKn_guEw&feature=player_embedded.
    Once you've migrated your calendar to your Mac, if you have OS X 10.7.4 or later you can enable iCloud syncing for your calendar (as well as other data) by setting this up as shown here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.  Once you set this up on your Mac and turn Calendars syncing to On your newly imported Google calendar will import to your iCloud account, and be reflected on your phone if you have Settings>iCloud>Calendars set to On.  Before syncing doing this you should turn off syncing with your Google Calendar though as trying to sync with both iCloud and Google can create problems.
    If you don't have OS X 10.7.4 or higher you'll have to sync your new calendar from your Mac to your phone using iTunes.  To do this, first go to Settings>Mail,Contacts>Calendars>Default Calendar and confirm that you have selected your iCloud calendar as your default.  Then connect your phone to iTunes on your computer, click on the name of your phone on the left side, go to the Info tab to the right, check Sync Calendars, then further down under Advanced...Replace Information on this iPhone, check Calendars.  Then click on Apply at the bottom to Sync your phone.  This will replace the calendar on your phone with the calendar on your Mac.  Once on your phone, if you have the calendar on your phone, if you have Settings>iCloud>Calendars set to On the calendar will upload to your iCloud account.  (As mentioned earlier, before syncing doing this you should turn off syncing with your Google Calendar as trying to sync with both iCloud and Google can create problems.)

  • How to sync contacts between iCloud and Outlook without iCloud moving the contacts

    Hi,
    When synching Contacts between Outlook and iCloud, iCloud moves away the Outlook contacts from the default directory, to a newly created data file.
    This issue already existed with MobileMe Calendar, and now seems to have been "adopted" for the Contacts as well in iCloud.
    This causes me many issues, including synching the same data with other devices and other PC's.
    Any work around?

    Apples iCloud is not working with Outlook as it is making new folders isolated from the standard folder *.pst.
    I have tested intensely and moved back to Google Sync (calendar) and iTunes (contacts, notes) as they sync properly with the standard folders in Outlook. Reminders sync still missing. Shame on Apple for delivering such a nonsens to us.

    As you've noticed, since the release of Mavericks syncing contacts with a Mac using iTunes is no longer supported. Following is a link to troubleshooting information for iCloud contacts which may have something that will help: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998

  • IMPORT OR SYNC CONTACTS TO iCLOUD

    HOW DO YOU IMPORT OR SYNC CONTACTS TO iCLOUD? DO NOT MEAN UPLOAD vCARD, BUT SYNC WITH EXISTING CONTACTS LIST

    a) Export them to CSV in the googlemail web page, then import this file into Thunderbird's Address Book. Take care to align the data fields.
    b) Use an add-on such as Google Contacts or gContactSync to create a live link. I refer the latter add-on; both have to contend with a fundamental mismatch in the way googlemail and thunderbird handle street addresses. This synchronizing approach is much the better way if you are trying to keep multiple address books in synch. I found it worthwhile to create a googlemail account purely for the purpose of associating a phone-related address book with my phone, which doesn't ''need'' all the email addresses, street addresses etc, nor all the contacts for whom I know only an email address but no phone number.

    How to transfer contacts and massages from iphone to computer?

    Hi, Shahmeer23c
    iCloud is useful for a lot of things and backing up your iPhone's data is one of them. Included in the data and files that you can safely keep using iCloud are your contacts. The following instructions detail how to transfer contacts from iPhone to computer.
    Step 1. On your iPhone, tap on Settings. On the "Settings" menu, select "iCloud". You will then be taken to the iCloud Settings.
    Step 2. Enable the "Contacts" setting and should you be informed that you'll have to merge your contacts to iCloud, tap "Merge".
    Step 3. Now on your computer, go to iCloud.com and login with your iCloud credentials.
    Step 4. Once you're logged in, click on the Contacts icon to access your address book and all iCloud features for the contacts you've uploaded.
    Step 5. In the address book, click on the cog icon at the lower-left portion, click "Select All", and "Export vCard" afterwards. 
    Step 6. iCloud will then give you a vCard that you can store on your computer. It contains all the contacts you've uploaded to iCloud using your iPhone.

  • How to move contacts and messages from Samsung Galaxy S3 to iPhone5?

    How to move contacts and messages from Samsung Galaxy S3 to iPhone5?

    As long as you had the Android data synced with your Google account, they should be there when you sync it on your new phone. That is by far the easiest way.
    I think there is also an import/export option when you hit the menu button in the contacts app. and you could export them to SD card and import them on the new phone using the same SD card.
    Or you can use Mobile Transfer to transfer data between Android smartphone. It is really simple, follow this guide to move contacts from Samsung S3 to iPhone 5.

  • How can I log onto iCloud from my iPad when the option is in grey and therefore not available

    How can I log onto iCloud from my iPad when the option is in grey and therefore not available. I deleted my account as it was showing up with an old Id ( I'd changed my email) but now I've done that it won't give me the option of logging back on. Do I have to do this on another device Or computer linked to iTunes first?
    THanks

  • How caN I reach my iCloud from someone else's device?

    How can I access my iCloud from a friends iPad ??

    You cannot get to your iCloud account from an iOS device other than your own where you have iCloud signed on. You can access Find My iPhone on another device by clicking on the Find My iPhone App, and signing on with your iCloud ID.
    You can access your iCloud account from a computer by going to iCloud.com
    What is it that you are needing to do?
    Cheers,

  • Ever since upgrading to iTunes 11.0, I can no longer sync Contacts and Calendar from my iMac (10.7.5) To my iPad2 (6.0.1) via Wi-Fi.  I believe All my settings are correct.  Device is recognized and sync From iPad is possible.

    Thank you Meta, but I could not get the calendar and contact sync with Gmail to work. Apple support already suggested to use Google or a Windows PC. Maybe I should actually reset and try my old Windows PC. Seriously, ... can this be the solution after a Mac OS update for pure Apple users?
