HT1296 How do I get iPhone contacts into iCloud

I have 213 contacts on my phone that I scanned in using ScanBizCards app.  Unknowingling, I had my settings set to Default Account On My Phone instead of iCloud. 
How do I get the 213 contacts off my phone into iCloud? 
When I go into info via iTunes, it says contacts are syncing over iCloud, but it is not picking up the 213 that were just scanned in.... HELP?  I don't want to have to add them one by one.

Hey jjwilson98,
The easiest way is to turn off the contacts in iCloud section in settings. Remember to keep data. After that it is turned off, just turn it back on to merge data and you will be set.

  • How do I get iphone contacts into new empty itunes?

    My old iphone died and I moved across to the iphine 4 by transferring the sim. Now my mac at home doesn't support the new version of itunes that I need to run the new phone off, so I've intsalled it at work. How to I transfer all of my contacts into itunes? I transfered the music because it's all purchased - but if I sync the phone with the itunes everything will eb erased - is it possible to do the reverse?

    You don't put contacts into itunes.  itunes is a media management program, not and address book.
    You sync them to your computers contact program via itunes.
    Where are your contacts now?
    Iphone does not save to SIM.

  • How can I import iPhone contacts into Mac Address book

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and am in the process of trying to dump my Windows PC.
    All of my important contacts are on my iPhone. How can I get those contacts into my Mac Address Book?
    The same question goes for the music (ripped from CD) and my video files that are on my iPhone? The media is not that big of a deal because I can easily transfer it from my PC to my Mac but I assume I am not the only one in the world trying to do this and that Apple would make it very easy for MSFT Windows users to easily migrate to Macs.
    I must be an idiot but I don't see any option in iTunes to transfer the data from my iPhone into iTunes and/or the Address Book.
    Thanks

    The iPhone's primary function is NOT a word processor or a spread sheet analyzer.
    I didn't say, nor was I trying to imply ANYTHING of the sort. You should read what I provided again a little slower and in it's entirety, not taking this out of context, which you made into Apples and Oranges.
    It IS an iPod, a device designed to store and play music (in addition to being a browser and a phone).
    It is a phone, an iPod, and an internet device, which supports transferring iTunes content from iTunes on a single computer ONLY.
    Making it difficult to transfer my legal music from my iPhone to my Mac does not make me want to go out and buy more Apple products or Apple software.
    Good, then don't - no skin off my back. I couldn't care less if you want to remain a Windows sufferer. All this doesn't come from Apple. Much of it comes from those who OWN the distribution rights for content sold thru the iTunes Store.
    All of Apple's commercials imply how easy the user experience is over Windows. Well, in this case, they missed the boat BIG TIME!
    Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but let me get this straight. You will likely need to transfer much more than just music from your Windows PC to your Mac and if so, how do you plan on accomplishing this? If you are transferring Word and Excel files, photos, and any other data, you won't be using an iPhone for this, so I don't see the big deal with transferring your iTunes library along with all other data being transferred.
    I understand that the iPhone was not designed to be used as a backup. However, you allow the contacts to be merged in but not the music that I legally installed (but didn't purchase from the iTunes store).
    I don't allow anything - this is a user to user help forum only.
    As I provided in my first post in this thread - the sync process for contact information, calendar events, and bookmarks with an iPhone is bidirectional with the supported application on your computer. This is a sync process by definition of syncing - which is not the same for other data such as iTunes content and photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone.

    Apple wants to make it difficult unless I purchased the music from iTunes.
    No, Apple or really those who own the distribution rights or the copyright holders for content sold thru the iTunes Store wants to make this difficult. Content sold thru the iTunes Store is set up by Apple to be a break even - which is included with the Apple stockholder's report. Apple makes their profit via sales of the iPod and iPhone. The bulk of the iTunes Store revenue goes to those who own the distribution rights or the copyright holders for the content.
    In addition, if my hard disk suffered a crash and I lost all my music it just seems stupid not to be able to pull it off my iPhone (yes, I know data should be backed up on a different drive, and mine is, but I am sure a lot of people do not back up their data).
    Maintaining a backup of your data is important for this very reason, and for other reasons which is not Apple's responsibility. I believe iTunes includes an occasional warning message to backup your iTunes library (which can be turned off), and iTunes includes an option to transfer content purchased from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iPhone - since the overwhelming majority of this content includes DRM protection required by those who own the distribution rights or the copyright holders.
    The iPhone was not designed as an external storage device or as a backup device - end of story. If someone chooses not to maintain a backup, they are playing Russian roulette with their data. Maintaining a backup is important regardless the platform, but even more so when running Windows with constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns.

  • How do you get your contacts into groups?

    how do you get your contacts into groups?

    When you ask a question, please include the version of Mac OS X on your computer. iOS is not a Mac operating system.
    Assuming you are running OS 10.9.1:
    Open Contacts. Click File in the menu bar and select New Group. Enter the name of the group in Contacts on the left.
    Go back to All Contacts (on the left) then drag and drop the names you want in that group on to the folder you just named.
    Repeat as necessary for other groups.
    Note that the names remain, as they should, in All Contacts, even after you have added them to a group.. You can delete a group if you want. The names will still remain in All Contacts.

  • How do I get iPhone movies into iTunes' movie menu in the sidebar?

    I've tried to get iPhone movies into iTunes, but they turn into .MOV files and won't transfer!
    I've tried exporting iPhone movie files from iPhoto into iTunes shared movie files (Movies folder), but
    they don't appear in the iTunes movie list!  They don't appear in the iPad video app either!
    What's the story!  .  .  .  . thanks f

    Allan,  I tried all you suggested.  I ended up with 'IMG' files in the source list, and they won't play.  When double clicked they try to open for a blink, then back to the list.
    When exporting the iPhone video from iPhoto, what did you fill out in the dialogue box.  All I saw were selections referring to photos (jpeg, medium, etc.) I didn't see choices for video!  Wouldn't it be just as easy to just drag
    the video from the iPhoto thumbnails to the desktop?  Am I missing something here?
    Thanks again

    how to transfer my iphone contacts to outlook?

    Here is the way about how to transfer contacts from iPhone to Outlook:
    Step 1: Connect the iPhone to the computer using the supplied USB cable and launch the iTunes application. iTunes displays your iPhone on the left panel under "Devices".
    Step 2: Click your iPhone on the iTunes panel and click the "Info" tab. Click "Sync contacts with" and select "Outlook."
    Step 3: Select "All Contacts" if you want to sync all the contacts from your iPhone to Outlook. If you want to select specific contacts, click "Selected groups" and place a check on the contacts you want to sync to Outlook.
    Step 4: Click "Apply" to sync your iPhone contacts to Outlook. Click the "Eject" button on the right panel and disconnect your phone from the computer. Close iTunes.

  • Getting all contacts into icloud

    How do I get "All Contacts" that are on my iPhone 4 over to my iCloud.com account?  The group "All iCloud" on my phone  has many less contacts than the All Contacts.  I'm concerned that if I lose my phone or the data gets corrupted, I'll lose all the extra contacts.  I don't have an Outlook account, but that seems to be the only type of account you can sync with.
    Thanks, Ron

    Winston Churchill's solution looks promising, but seeing your experience I'm reluctant to try it. Can anyone tell us how to merge the contents of "All Contacts" on the iPhone (a non-iCloud group) with one of the iCloud groups? (I have a couple; do not remember how they got put into iCloud while several other groups on the phone, including the big "All Contacts", did not.
    I apologize for my ignorance. I'll be grateful for guidance.

  • My contacts on I cloud are the contacts I want on my I phone. How do I get my contacts from Icloud to my Iphone4

    The contacts on my Icloud are the contacts I want on my Iphone. How do I get those contacts back on my phone

    If you have your iPhone synced to iClpud and then turn your iCloud syncing off,  you won'thave your iCloud contacts on your iphone... to get them back, just turn iCloud syncing back on...
    [When you're working with iCloud, keep in mind that the main source of the informatin being sync'd to your devices is in iCloud, not on any of the devices or on your computer. ] 

  • I have purchased a movie from iTunes how do i get it loaded into icloud

    I have previously purchased a film from iTunes and have now set iCloud up. how can I get the film onto iCloud it is currently on my windows laptop

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't copy your movie to your allocated iCloud storage. Why would you want to do that.

  • HT4759 how do you get your contacts into the cloud on your pc from an iphone?

    How do you get contacts from an Iphone 4s to a PC through Icloud?

    http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html
    You have to use outlook in order to integrate contacs with PC, since that is the only program that syncs with cloud. Or you can use a "poor man's" version, by accessing those contacts over www.icloud.com website and managing there.

  • HT1296 How can I get my contacts from my iPhone even though I don't have it ?

    I'm trying to get my contacts from my iPhone but I don't have my iPhone with me

    It might take a bit longer, but it's risk free:
    Use your iMac to send your contacts in an email to yourself
    Open them using your iphone.
    They should arrive as vcf format and you click to open it and hey presto!
    Also works the other way round, so when I receive an email from a new contact, I register it on my iphone and click on "share contact", sending it to me which I then open on my Powerbook.

  • How do it get my contacts into the cloud contacts for siri to recognize

    I've looked through the Siri help stuff, and there' slots of things that tell me to put my info/contact into Siri at Settings / Siri / My Info.  Great, but when I select that, I get an "All icloud" contact list.  Since I have mself, wife, colleagues already in my contacts (MS Exchange) already -- how do I simply "copy" them into the icloud contact group????  I certainly don't want ot have to re-enter them twice. Also, I'm on a PC, is there no web interface from my PC to my icloud account?  Any help greatly appreciated -- I'm obviously on the new 4S ...

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you deleted your contacts from your contacts app, they will also be deleted in iCloud.
    However if you deleted your account or simply turned contacts syncing off, you should be able to log back into your account or re-enable contacts syncing and they would repopulate your contacts app.
    Could you perhaps tell us which of these you have done.
