HT4489 Importing .vcf vCard to iCloud problems

I am trying to copy my contacts list onto iCloud from Hotmail.  I exported it from Hotmail as .csv, converted it to vCard .vcf and tried to upload to iCloud, but got an error message saying I was exceeding size limits.  My contacts list is only 750 entries, and just email addresses and names, really, so cannot be exceeding the limit of size. 
Any ideas what else could be going wrong, please?
Many thanks

Hi Brandon
Thanks for the speedy reply.  No, they are not on any iDevice - that is really what I am trying to do - to get the contacts onto iCloud so that I can see them on my iPad.  I can see them via Hotmail, but Hotmail is so clunky, I want to be able to set up groups and things easier.   Will probably have to give up and buy Outlook at this rate....
Thanks anyway.

    The vCard must not be a compatible format.  (Unfortunately, there are multiple formats.)
    Often your carrier can transfer contacts between devices from different manufacturers.  Try visiting your carrier's retail outlet and see if they can do this for you.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Try exporting and importing them in small bundles, there may be a problem with one or more specific cards. If you are able to isolate them, you could then import those particular cards manually.

  • Can anyone tell me how to import vCard into iCloud??

    Whenever i try to import a vCard from my pc into iCloud, it always shows a message that, "1 contact couldn't be imported because there was a problem reading the vCard" Can anyone tell me how to import vCard into iCloud??

    Hey,
    Yes, a lot of people have this question actually. You need to import it like it's a video and then find iPhoto in the import window to do it. Check out this site. It shows you exactly how to do this.

    i exported them on my pc and saved them as vcard, but icloud can't read them. i'd want to know there is the problem.
    thanks a lot!

    I'm afraid I can't advise on Outlook, there must be a forum or Help for that. To sync it to iCloud you will need the iCloud Control Panel.

    It isn't compatible with iCloud.  Export a CSV file instead, then create a gmail account, import the CSV file to Gmail (https://support.google.com/a/answer/14024?hl=en), then export the contacts from Gmail as a vCard (see https://support.google.com/mail/answer/24911?hl=en) and import it to iCloud (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3605).

  • 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 can I import contacts into my icloud contacts from an excel file?

    I need to add contacts to my icloud contact data base.  Can I import from an Excel file?
    Thanks,

    Not directly, export from Excel to a .csv file, then convert the .csv file to a .vcf (vCard) file. Then iCloud can import the vCard file.
    Here is a free csv to vcard conversion utility.

  • HT4489 error uploading vcard to my address book in my ipad

    I have been trying to upload my contacts stored on my sd card to my address book on ipad. Everytime i am getting the error
    'Contacts could not be imported because there was a problem reading the vcards'
    Any one has this issue resolved?

    Enable Contact syncing in your Mac's System/iCloud preference pane
    and on your iPad.
    (Screenshot is from an iPhone running iOS 7)
    That will sync the contacts from your MBP to the iPad.
