HT4489 importing contacts to icloud

I am unable to import older contacts to icloud.  Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can add contacts to your iCloud account in the address book on your Mac by navigating to the groups section of the address book and selecting the account where the contacts you want to copy are located. Once you have done this drag them onto the iCloud group, you can do this individually or all at once.

    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.

  • HT2373 how can i import contacts from icloud

    I just bought an Macbook Air and need to import Contacts from icloud. What is the easiest way to do this.

    Go to System Preferences iCloud pane.  Sign In using your Apple ID.  Make sure Contacts is checked to the right, along with anything else you want to keep synced.
    Open Address Book, and your contacts from iCloud are already there.

  • How can I import contacts from iCloud to CONTACTS in snow leopard? !

    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.

    Anyone have any experience with importing/syncing contacts from ACT! 2013 Pro into iCloud?

    Export as delimited, use a converter to change the delimited file to a vcard file then import into Contacts (address book)
    Here is an online txt to vcf (vcard) converter.

  • Imports contacts from iCloud to Lotus Notes

    Hello;
    I am using iCloud and IBM Lotus Notes 8.5 on my MacBook running OS X 10.6.8.
    I'd like to import all my contacts from iClounds to Lotus Notes.
    I tried the function Export vCards... and I imported this vCard to Lotus with success. However a good chunk of my contacts miss their email adresses or phone numbers. Some include all the details some just include the name and title but miss contacts' details.
    I am now stucked; I would like to avoid to re-enter manually all the details missing. Do you know any workaround?
    Many thanks;
    Pierre

  • How can i import contacts from a csv file to "iCloud Contacts"?

    How can I import contacts from a csv file to "iCloud Contacts"?

    The only way I know of to import cells from a csv file is by creating a new file.  But then you can select the desired cells and copy them to the other file.  I just did it to be sure it works.
    1. Create the new spreadsheet file via the upload command.
    2. Select the cells (table) that you want to move to the other file and press command+C (copy).
    3. Close the new file and open the existing file.
    4. Select the top/right cell of the area to receive the copied "table" and press commant+V (paste).
    I hope this is what you're trying to do!

  • HT204150 My Contact from ICloud imports only the name but not every thing else. But that only happens with my own card

    My Contact from ICloud imports only the name but not every thing else if I want to import it to Contact on my Mac. But that only happens with my own card.
    Before, my V-Card in Contacts on my Mac was ok, but now it disappeared. When I try to import it from ICloud only my name appears.
    Can anyone help me? Thanks

    The backup of your iPod Touch would include your camera roll photos.  Restoring the backup to another iPod Touch or iPhone would recover them.  Photos will not be restored by restoring the backup to an iPad.
    Note: Apple deletes iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so be sure to do this before then.
