how can I import my contacts from my Iphone 5 device to the Icloud?

To get the contacts from your Hotmail and exchange accounts into iCloud, do the following:
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup. (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer from your external accounts you will need the “Pro” version.) Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone 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), and set this to iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your Hotmail and exchange accounts and turn off contacts syncing with with these accounts. If you don't you will see duplicates of your contacts (one from the external account and one from iCloud).
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the external accounts back to your phone, and to iCloud. Go to icloud.com to confirm they are there.

How can I transfer my contacts from one iphone to another without iCloud?

I have an iPhone 4S that has quit working properly. The wifi option is grayed out and it will not let me get online. It also has some other weird things going on. I've tried everythign to fix it, to no avail. Therefore rather than paying $200 for a (refurbished) replacement, I'm going back to my old 4.
I was told by the AT&T guy not to restore to my new phone because there is a chance that this is software related and it will cause similar problems on my 4. How, then, do I transfer my contacts to my old 4? I can't do it via iCloud because I never set it up on my old phone and it is now inactivated (and can't use wifi).

Your contacts should be on your computer.
You should have been syncing them with your computer from day one.
have you failed to do this?

Time Machine is a back up you have to set up to back up before there is a problem like a hard drive failure.
It is possible to recover files from a failed drive, but it is an expensive proposition.
There is a faint hope that an app like Disk Warrior or TechTool Pro might repair the drive. You could try making an appointment at an Apple store and ask a technician there to take a look... the diagnosis will not cost you.

How can I bulk delete contacts from my iPhone 4S? I've imported them from gmail and hotmail and there are many more than I need. Deleting them one by one will take ages, there must be a quicker way! Also, do contacts take up space on the phone or are they stored remotely?
Thanks.. J

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

How can i print my files from mi iphone 5 throught the airport express?

How can i print my files from mi iphone 5 throught the airport express?? i have the last iOS version installed and also the last firmware version of the printer. the printer is already connected to the USB airport express and when i look for printers in airprinter there is no printer found. i have an HP LASERJET P1606dn(i think that is supported by the airprinter).

In order to function with AirPrint, a printer must connect to the network wirelessly.
Even if you have an AirPrint compatible printer, iOS devices will not be able to print to the printer when it is connected via USB.
So, you have two options:
1) Reconfigure the printer to connect to the network using wireless only and the iOS devices should be able to print that way....assuming that you have up to date drivers for the printer installed.
2) Leave the printer connected via USB and then use a third party App like Printopia installed on your Mac as a "workaround" to (hopefully) allow the iOS to device to be able to print. If you want to give this a try, there is a free trial for Printopia, so you will know if it will work before you buy. You must have a Mac running on the network in order for Printopia to function correctly.

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 can I import selected images from a folder instead of the whole folder in iPhoto 9.5.2?

Hi there,
I was trying to help my parents import some photos from a folder they have created with photos from their holiday. They only want to import select images from this folder into iPhoto. I said it would be easy and they can do it in 2 ways. First, they can drag and drop selected photos from their folder into iPhoto - and this works for them. However, more convieniently, they can click file>import to Library and then select the photos they want by going into the folder... Well that's how it works on my iPhoto '11 at least. When they showed me their screen via Skype (they are running iPhoto 9.5.2), when they click import to library, and try to go into the folder containing their photos, it imports the whole thing and there appears to be no way that they can enter the folder to select just a few photos from what I could see.
Does anyone know anything aout this problem?
Cheers.

What view are using in the Import dialogue. Column view might be easiest to navigate.

HT1414 how can I access my contacts from my iphone backup

I backed up my iphone onto my imac. How can I access the contacts, or can I?

You can plug a new phone in and restore the backup from your computer. As has already been stated, however, contacts are NOT part of the backup. If they were restored when you restored your phone previously, they either had to come from an address book on your computer or a cloud service you were syncing to (Exchange, Yahoo, gmail, etc.).
Most likely, you set up the contact sync when you first got your phone and never thought about it again. Just because you don't actually open and use the address book on your computer doesn't mean it isn't there.
On Windows, look in Windows Address book or Outlook. If you had an Exchange account, Yahoo account, or G-Mail account (set up as Exchange), look at the contacts on the server.
Even if you could save contacts to the SIM, you would only get a small fraction of the information that can be entered for each contact.

How can I get my contact from my iphone to outlook 2007? I only get one contact.

I have been everywhere and can not find helpful information. I had to replace the harddrive on my computer and I can not get the contact from my phone to outlook. The only one that will transfer is a new on that I just added.

Is your new phone another iPhone?
If so, just sync them via iTunes from the contact manager you were syncing your old iPhone to.
