How do i copy my exchange contacts from my iphone to icloud

Hi,
This has been an issue for a lot of people lately, including myself.
I personally prefer to have my contacts saved on apple's servers rather than microsoft's especially since I'm now using several apple devices.
I couldn't find any answers to this on the web, except exporting-importing manually each contact.
Worked that out by myself for a few hours and found this way of doing it "automatically" without the need of a computer, your iDevice will suffice!
Step 1 : have your windows live/exchange contacts synced on the idevice.
Step 2 : Install the Free application "My Contacts Backup" from the AppStore and make a backup.
Step 3 : Send the backup file to yourself via Email.
Step 4 : Make sure that the default contacts account on your iDevice is iCloud in "Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calender - Contacts - default account"
Step 5 : Open the backup file in the mail from the idevice and install all contacts.
Step 6 : Disable the contacts sync function of Exchange in "Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calender - your Echange Account name" if you do not want to have both in your contacts list. This will automatically delete all contacts on the iDevice from your Exchange account.
And Voila! Hope this will help a lot of people

  • How can I back up my exchange contacts to icloud

    Good day
    Our company has just lost our ms exchange server information. I am tasked to restore what I can but the situation looks dire. My fear is that when the clients with iphones (all the managers and myself) sync with their mailboxes with an empty contacts list, there phones will update to that contact list and they will lose all contacts on their phone that they have.
    Can I somehow back up their exchange contacts to ICloud? My phone doen't let me.
    My idea is: re-create their mail boxes, retrieve the contacts from the cloud, and in doing so, restore their contacts to their exchange account when it sync.
    Hope you can help
    Jacques

    Open Contacts on your phone and tap Groups.  Then check to see what group the contacts belong to.  If they don't belong to an iCloud group, they won't sync with iCloud.

  • How do I transfer all of my contacts from iCloud to Outlook ?

    Forgive my ignorance, I am a noob... For my work, I use both an iPhone and a Balckberry, which I sync with Outlook. How do I transfer all of my contacts from my iPhone / iCloud to Microsoft Outlook so that I can put them on my Blackberry as well ? Thank you for your response, even though this may have been covered before.

    Back up your Outlook Contacts first. (Select all and drag them to an empty folder).
    Back up your iPhone Contacts. (Use an app from App Store like "Multi Edit" or search for "Contacts Backup".
    Download and install "iCloud Control Panel for Windows".
    Sign in with your Apple ID.
    Sync Contacts with Outlook
    The iPhone and Outlook Contacts will be MERGE.
    After you sync BB with Outlook you will have ALL of your Contacts on both devices and Outlook.

  • How can I copy all the comments from my picture/s in fotostream to my picture/s in my library?

    How can I copy all the comments from my picture/s in fotostream to my picture/s in my library?

    Hi, first, you should prevent the iTunes library auto sync with iPhone: Launch iTunes > click Preferences... > click Devices. In the window, check the option 'Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically'. Next, connect your iPhone with your computer via the USB cable. Click the mini menu for iTunes on the very top left and click the option 'Show menu bar'. After then you can see iTunes File, Edit, View, Control, Store and Help menus on the ribbon. Click File > Devices > Transfer purchases from (your iPhone name). You can also access to the File menu by holding down Alt (Option on Mac), Shift and F keys. This is how to get your iPhone purcahsed song transferred to iTunes Library.

    How can I copy all the files from my iMac to an external drive so they remain as 'regular accessible files'? I want to clean my dive

    You can use a program like Carbon Copy Cloner.  It will clone your HD to the external.  The format is the same as your internal drive and you can boot from it using Option key at boot time.

    You can do that in FCPX too, as all the things you cited are listed separately in the inspector.
    Here's a little gotcha. Let's say you've color corrected a few clips and you've applied an effect to one and want to paste it the other clips. You switch off color correction and copy the clip. You select the other clips and paste effects. What do you think happens? The effect is applied, but the color correction is applied as well, only it's switched off as it was in the first clip, so all the color correction on the other clips is lost. Fun, eh?
    I'll try to replicate your gotcha - but no, that doesn't sound like fun at all!

  • How do I copy all the email addresses in my Address Book quickly?

    How do I copy all the email addresses in my Address Book quickly so that I can email a change of address?

    From the Address Book help file:
    Notify contacts when your vCard changes
    When you change your contact information, you can send a group email message to your contacts. The message contains your updated vCard and a message from you.
    1. If you don’t have a group of addresses, create one.
    2. Choose File > Send Updates.
    3. In the Send Updates dialog, select one or more groups to notify. If some contacts in the group have multiple email addresses, you can choose which address to use.
    4. Type a subject title and a message, and then click Send.

    I would like to "get off the cloud".  How do I copy all my contacts, etc from where they are on the cloud to "on my Mac"?

  • On my iphone how do I delete from my exchange contacts, so I only have all my contacts under ALL CONTACTS on the device.

    On my iphone how do I delete from my exchange contacts that were imported from a different email address, this way I only have all my contacts under ALL CONTACTS on the device.

    Contacts imported from a different email address? Are you referring to a different address book, possibly from your computer? Exchange contacts are not stored on your computer. If you turn off Exchange contacts they will disappear from the phone. The phone will always show contacts that are stored on your phone, and keep them separate from the Exchange contacts like they are now. If you delete the ones on the phone and then turn off or lose access to the Exchange account, you will no longer have any contacts.

  • How can I import all my gmail contacts into iPad? I use iPad mini and the solutions available on the web are not compatible.

    How can I import all my gmail contacts into iPad? I use iPad mini and the solutions available on the web are not compatible.

    Hello and thanks for the answer.
    I meant by "not compatible" that all the solutions that I found on the web did not work, especially the "Microsoft exchange" one.
    Fortunately I found on the comments of the first website you mentioned the right answer for me, which I copy below:
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Other > Add CardDav Account.
    Enter the following information in the fields:
    Server: google.com
    User Name: Enter your full Google email address
    Password: Your Google account password
    Select Next at the top of the screen to complete the setup.
    After you have completed the setup, open the Contacts app on your device. Syncing should begin automatically.
    Additional Information
    Note: Make sure that SSL is enabled (under Advanced settings), and that the port is 443.
    If you are using application based special password go to https://accounts.google.com/Se... and instead of your password put that special code and u r done.
