I can't get my contacts from iCloud onto my iPad, I can't get my contacts from iCloud onto my iPad

I have backed up contacts from my iPhone to iCloud but when I back up my I pad to iCloud the contacts don't appear on my pad.... Prob an easy fix but very frustrating! Any help much appreciated!

I'm not sure if you mean to say "back up" because a backup does not include contacts. What you need to do is go to Settings>iCloud and turn on both icloud and contacts. That should connect the phone to icloud and sync the contacts.

How can I get my iPhone contacts from my itunes to icloud so I can restore to an iPhone3GS using a newer PC.

Hi,
My big issue is I would like to retrieve my contacts
I have an iPhone 3GS that has been regularly synced to my iTunes 9.02? on an older powerbook running 10.4.11. I would like to have a new iMac but the delivery time currently for the configuration I wanted is 8 - 10 weeks.
The iPhone has been regularly crashing so the local Apple store advised me to upgrade the OS which I was only able to do using a PC as I couldn't do it using my Mac.
Now I'm stuck. The iPhone is asking me if I want to restore from itunes (on the PC which as far as I know has nothing on it) OR from icloud which seems to have only one contact (me) OR to set up a new phone. I cannot use my old Mac now as when I plug in the phone it tells me its not compatible.
Am I screwed? Should I give up, get a new blackberry and just forget about Apple after being a loyal user for 25 years?
Can I somehow find a way to get the iPhone backup from the old Mac itunes up to icloud?

I solved my problem eventually by getting all the devices - 2 iphones, the newish pc and the older Mac on icloud.
All media, calenders and messages were lost from the iphones, except for purchased itunes that I paid another $30 to Apple to save for me and also paid Appple some more to use icloud but the good news is I did save my contacts
I opened all of my contacts and pretty much had to edit and drag them over almost individually as they weren't all in some sort of configuration that Apple liked - i.e. if an email address ended in ch or es or de it might not be accepted as a properly configured vcard.
It would be nice if Apple made it a litle easier when you have older devices and need to get them in sync with newer ones.

I have two devices on my account : one iPhone5S and one iPhone5 both connected to iCloud. When I deleted 500 contacts on one device they disappeared automatically from the other. How can I get them back

How can I get back deleted contacts from iCloud?

If both phones were syncing contacts with the same account, that's normal. iCloud syncs changes on one devices to all other devices sharing the account.
If you don't have another backup source for your contacts, you may be able to restore them from your iCloud backup by following Winston Churchill's user tip here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

I use my iPad to get the address book backed up by iCloud from my iPhone. However, I cannot see the recent new contacts from my iPad. Is there anyway to check the iCloud server to see if my address book backup from my iPhone is still there?

How do i get my contacts back after i seleted them from my phone can i go through icloud??

plz help me

Only if you backed up your phone to iCloud (which is different with syncing your contacts with iCloud). If you have been syncing your phone with iTunes you can restore your phone from your most recent backup, which will replace the data and settings on your phone with those from your backup (losing any more recent information). To do this, first open iTunes but do not connect your phone. Then go to iTunes Preferences and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". Next, connect your phone to your computer and when it appears on the left sidebar of iTunes right-click on it and select "Transfer Purchases". When this finishes, right-click again and select Restore from Backup.
If you haven't been syncing your phone, or backing it up to iCloud, or syncing your contacts with a supported application such as Outlook or mac Address Book, then there is no way to get your contacts back.

Syncing the 3GS is exactly the same as syncing the 4S - so just do the same as you've been doing.
How do you normally sync contacts from your Mac to your iPhone? Via iTunes over USB/WiFi, or via iCloud?

Have you checked that your contacts are in iCloud yet?

You can try restoring to your last backup, but there is no gaurantee that this will restore your contacts.
Your friend needs to set up a different iCloud account with a different ID. Have them go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted, then set up a new iCloud account with a different ID, and choose Merge to upload the data to the new account. After doing this, you can each go to your own iCloud account on icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account. Don't delete any data until you are on separate accounts or it will also be deleted from the other person's device.

All my contacts got deleted from my iphone 4s. How do I transfor them from icloud back to my phone?

joephilipose,
If the contacts are still in Address Book on your computer, but just not on the phone, you can tell iTunes to force replace the contacts on your phone with those from your computer. You can do this by going into the Info tab when your iPhone is connected, and checking the Contacts box under the Advanced section at the bottom of the page.
You may also want to backup your Address Book information as well. It's a good idea to make periodic backups of your contact and calendar information in case information accidentally gets deleted or changed. You can find out how to backup your Address Book data here:

To backup your iCal information, follow the steps in this article:

I have a Macbook, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4. I also have iCloud on all three devices. For some reason I can not get new information from my contacts folder to transfer to the iPad or the iPhone. Never been a problem before.

POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"
