How do you transfer contacts from iphone to new ipad?

how do you transfer contacts from iphone to new ipad?

"Paired"? I think you are saying you were trying to use Bluetooth to do this transfer. That will not work.
Instead, try one of these two methods:
1. Use iCloud to contain the contacts. Then set both the iPad and iPhone up to reference the iCloud contacts.
2. Sync the iPhone using iTunes on your computer. Then sync the iPad using the same iTunes.
(This may or may not work depending on what you use to house the contacts.)

Getting contacts from iphone onto new macbook

I am having a problem getting all my contacts from my iphone to my new computer. I lost my last computer. I do have mobileme and have synced all my contacts from my phone to mobileme. In setting up my new computer, i went into system preferences to mobileme and put a check in the box next to contacts to sync the new computer with mobileme. it asked if i wanted to merge info on this computer or replace info on this computer with info from mobileme. i selected "replace info on this computer with mobileme info". it then said that i need to update contacts on Mobileme. It gave me the option to "fix later" or "replace". I selected fix later. My contacts from my iphone/mobileme were not showing up in my address book. i plugged in my iphone and selected to sync contacts. Still nothing in my address book. i then went back to sys prefs, and, bad move, i selected "replace" when it told me i needed to update mobileme contacts. IT WIPED ALL MY CONTACTS AWAY. i was thinking it would then ask me to replace from where, like from iphone or old computer. But no, it just wiped them all away. Why is it so difficult to get contacts and info from iphone onto new computer? And more importantly, is there a way of getting mobileme to revert back to the place it was before i wiped out all the contacts? I need to get my contacts back. All i was trying to do was get my contacts from my iphone onto a new computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Thanks for all the support with this. Now i know where to go for help.

Help with moving contacts from iPhone 4s

Hello. I want to copy my contacts from my iphone 4s and add them to another phone - possibly an Android or new iPhone. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance!

From the address book app on your computer where your contacts should be available as well and/or with the email account you are syncing contacts over the air with.

Moving contacts from iphone ...

I've just got a new phone and want to transfer my contacts from my iphone to the new phone but can't work out how to move my contacts to the SIM card to transfer them.
I tried synching my contacts to Yahoo via itunes but it only synched the contacts from the SIM not the phone.
I don't have outlook on my laptop.
Help!

The iPhone does not support storing contacts on the SIM card which is very limited to a name and a couple of phone numbers and maybe an email address for each contact.
The iPhone supports syncing contacts with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express with XP and by Windoze Mail with Vista and Windoze 7 called Windoze Contacts.
Before syncing contacts with Windoze Contacts if Windoze Contacts is empty and not being used, enter one contact in Windoze Contacts before the first sync for this data. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data with Windoze Contacts which you want to accept.

Syncing contacts from Iphone to new pc, NO OUTLOOK , MobileMe?

Ok so I have an Iphone 3GS and my hardrive on my computer crashed losing all my itunes data. I was able to use 3rd party software to retrieve my music and video, and I was able to transfer all my purchases onto my new computer's itunes which runs windows 7.
However, the problem is that I know if I try to sync my contacts it will lose all 275 of my contacts. Also..because of how Office 2010 is, I don't have outlook on this new computer (I have home and student edition of windows). Can i even bring my contacts over if it no longer will be syncing with outlook?
I know MobileMe is a way of retaining contact information, however i haven't installed it or purchased it before my old harddrive crashed. If I purchase MobileMe now, and install it...If I try to sync my phone..will it pull over my contacts from my phone and keep them? Or will it also erase all my contacts and start from scratch.
Please help, I'm open to all suggestions.
Thanks,

You can sync contacts with Outlook, or with the address book application used by Outlook Express with XP and by Windows Mail with Vista and Windows 7 which I believe is called Windows Contacts or Windows address book.
Before syncing contacts with the Windows Contacts application, enter one contact in the application on your computer. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.

Copy contacts from iPhone to new iMac

I have just bought a new iMac running Yosemite. I want to transfer contacts from my iPhone address book to my new iMac. I have tried going via iCloud but iCloud does not seem to be synching, doesn't appear in iTunes etc.

On the iPhone you need to have Settings > iCloud > Contacts on.
On the Mac you need to have Apple Menu > System Preferences > iCloud > Contacts on.
That should be all that is needed.
You don't need to have iOS8. If you have logged into www.cloud.com and the contacts aren't there, then the problem has nothing to do with the iMac (or at least that part of the problem doesn't).
If it isn't working between the phone and www.cloud.com then I would be sure to perform exactly every step in Get help using iCloud Contacts in the section titled "iOS" all of the way down to the section titled "OS X Lion or later."

Can't move contacts from iPhone to new MacBook Pro

Hi,
my father-in-law has an iPhone 3G which he's used with his PC without a problem. I finally convinced him to buy a MacBook Pro (which he did today) and we've been unable to move the contacts from the iPhone to the laptop. The phone is connected to iTunes and all looks normal but when we select "contacts" to be synced to the laptop and then click apply, nothing happens. Tried to sync it, the phone and iTunes say "syncing" but the contacts are not showing up in the laptop's address book - very embarassing. I'm assuming it's something I'm doing wrong but I can't for the life of me find an answer.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.
Many thanks,
Ole

Before you connect your phone to the mac, you should make sure that auto sync when a phone or ipod is connected is NOT CHECKED in preferences for itunes.
Once you've authorized the account, you should then transfer your purchased apps & music to itunes from your phone.
You do that by going up to file, select transfer purchases made on this ipod to this computer. All of your purchased apps & music will be transferred, music you ripped on your own or photos will not be, you'll have to restore those from a backup.
If you already have contacts in your address book, you should have received the merge prompt when you synced. Are you sure in itunes you have the contact tab checked?

Help: Moving contacts from old to new account

how can l move contacts from old account to new

Hello,
This greying-out of your iPod's songs are due to what setting you are on in iTunes.
Go to "Edit -> Preferences -> iPod". Under the "music" tab, there will be three selectinos of options:
Automatically update ALL songs
Automatically updater SELECTED songs
Manually manage songs
From your description of this issue, you are on one of the "automatic" settings. To un-grey your iPod's songs in iTunes, change that setting to "manually manage music" instead of automatic".
If any post is helpful or solves your issue, please mark it that way, this makes it clearer to other users what solved your issue, and encourages others to help each other on here. Thank You!
I hope this answers the question,

Syncing contacts from iPhone to new hard drive

The hard drive on our MacBook Pro died a few weeks ago, so we had it replaced. Now, when trying to sync my iPhone, I get a message that it's already synced to another iTunes library and it'll need to Erase the iPhone and then sync.
This is ok for music and apps that I've transferred already, but I'm afraid of doing this with the Contacts and Notes and losing everything.
If I do a backup, do I do the Erase and Sync and then restore from backup to keep my contacts? If not, what other options do I have? I can't lose my contacts and notes.

Welcome to the discussions,
you're on the right track, perform a manual backup and restore from that backup after your phone got wiped during the first sync.
To back up manually, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes, connect your phone and right click on it in the device list, choose "backup".
Set up at least one contact and event on your Mac to make sure you're getting the merge prompt for contacts and calendars during the process.

Can you copy contacts from iphone 3gs to a pc?

I want to copy my contacts from iphone 3gs to pc so i can copy them back to my new iphone 4 is that possible?

Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer. With XP, this can be with Outlook 2003, 2007, or with 2010 if 2010 is supported with XP along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only. Not a good idea to depend on your iPhone or on any cell phone alone for this data which can be lost or stolen.
If you don't have Outlook available and you don't use Windows Contacts - Windows Contacts is empty, before the first sync for this data, enter one contact in Windows Contacts. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select. Syncing contacts with Windows Contacts is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
