Sync/transfer contacts to iCloud?

How can I force EVERY contact on my iPhone to be transferred/backed up to iCloud? I already have iCloud set up as my default Contact thing, AND I already have Contact sync enabled in iCloud Settings... but there are still contacts locally on my phone that are not synced to my iCloud account.
Is there an easy way to consolidate/transfer them so that ALL of the contacts on my phone are synced through iCloud, and not just the ones that were created there?

If you use iTunes now, you may well end up with duplicates. However if there is no other way, duplicates can be deleted, and this may be your only option.
What exactly is the state of play, are contacts on your iPod in your contacts at iCloud.com

  • Sync iphone contact with icloud

    I've entered new contact information on my iPhone, but those phone numbers are not appearing for that contact in the iCloud subfolder in Outlook.  What is the best way to sync contact information in Outlook so information on my iPhone is updated in my iCloud (in Outlook).

    The first thing to check is to go to icloud.com on your computer, then enter a new contact on your phone and see if it appears in your contacts on icloud.com.  Then do the same thing in Outlook.
    When you do this, which is not syncing new contacts to icloud.com?

  • How do i sync my contacts from icloud to my new pc ?!

    my laptop is not working anymore so i bought a new one , my contacts on my iphone are synced , but only on icloud,
    anyway to sync these contacts from icloud or download them to my new laptop !?
    I have windows 7

    Why would you downgrade your OS? That is neither supported by Apple or recommended by them, and is no doubt the cause of the problems you are now having.
    To sync with iCloud requires iOS 5.
    Update to the OS that iCloud supports and you will be able to do what you want, exactly as Apple recommends.

  • HT204150 How to transfer contacts in icloud conflict to contacts?

    After syncing microsoft oultlook with icloud, I have serveral contacts that are in conflict.  How do I remove these contacts in conflict and transfer them to icloud contacts without reentering each one?

    Are you a Mac or a PC user?
    If Mac, export the contacts from Address Book as vCards, log out of the 1st iCloud account, and log in to the 2nd iCloud account, then re-import the exported contacts into Address Book.

  • I use Google as my primary Contacts manager and it is set up as an Exchange account on my iPhone. Does this mean I can't sync my contacts to iCloud?

    When I activated the sync contacts with iCloud option, only 93 of 912 contacts showed up in iCloud.com. I assume it is because all 829 missing are considered as Exchange contacts. As stated when you activate Contacts sync in iCloud, Exchange cannot be synced. Is there a way I could sync all my Google contacts to iCloud?

    Is there a way I could sync all my Google contacts to iCloud?
    import them to your OSX adressbook. This is what gets synced to the icloud, nothing else.

  • Can't sync my contacts through iCloud or iTunes from an iPhone 4S to an iPhone 3G

    I have an iphone 4S that fell on the floor and broke the front glass. They will take some time to fix it and I need to sync my contacts to an iPhone 3G. The problem is that I can't sync them through iCloud or iTunes. Everything else syncs just fine (calendar included) but not the contacts.
    Anyone had the same problem?
    Anyone has any solution to this problem?
    It's reaaly important because I can't be without my contacts all that time (they will take up to 15 days to replace the glass!!!!, the iPhone works fine, just the glass broken!)
    Thanks

    Does the display work?  If so, you could use an app like My Contacts Backup to email your contacts to your other phone.

  • How to sync the contacts in icloud

    if i add a contact in icloud in my pc i am able to find it in my iphone. but if i add a contact in my iphone i could'nt see that in icloud. and i have imported 250 contacts through my sim card and i have saved some 100 contacts manually in my phone. but i am able to see the contacts that i have imported from sim alone, i am unable to see the contacts that i have uploaded manually.

    Download the free app My Contacts Backup.  Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, when prompted choose Delete from My iPhone.  Check the contacts on your phone.  If you have any left on your phone, launch My Contacts Backup, tap the gear shaped icon on the bottom right, scroll to the bottom and tap Remove All Contacts.  When finished, go back to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On to sync the unduplicated contacts back to your phone from iCloud.
    Also, be sure you aren't trying to sync your contacts with both iCloud and iTunes or you will get duplicates.

  • How do i sync my contacts from iCloud onto my mac

    I've installed iMessage into my macbook air, but i don't have any contacts..
    i was wondering how i can sync my iCloud contacts (online) so they show up in the contacts (on my mac).

    Hi veganqueen,
    If you already have your contacts in iCloud, you should be able to turn it on within the iCloud preference pane, as noted in the article below:

  • HT204150 How can I sync my contacts from icloud to my new i phone 5s??? Help

    How can I sync my contacts - please help

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If they are iCloud contacts, just log into iCloud on your new phone.
    You should restore from a back up of your old phone though to get things like your photos and other app data onto your new phone.

  • Sync Outlook contacts to iCloud

    I am using Outlook for exchange on my brand new MacBook Pro. (I'm a first time Mac user, so kid gloves please )
    Can I sync my outlook contacts to iCloud?

    I noticed one thing I can do. 
    1.  I copied all the contacts from "My Contacts" to "iCloud" and used the duplicate search function to take care of those issues.
    2. I made sure there were no contacts left in "My Contacts" and deleted all of the remaining ones.
    This solves the initial issue, but I still have the problem.   When I add a new contact, Outlook keeps adding it by default to the "My Contacts" group instead of "iCloud."  Anyone know how to change what group it adds to by default?

  • When I synced my contacts from iCloud to my phone some of my contacts got deleted

    So I had abunch of contacts on my iPhone 5 and I decided to sync them with my iCloud just incase I lost them. My iCould acc. had some contacts in them already but only like 12 or so. When I synced them I lost a good amount of my contacts on my phone. I have tried restarting the app and stuff with no luck.
    Thank you in advance.

    If you backed up your phone to iCloud before enabling iCloud, you may be able to recover them by restoring the backup.  To do this, you start by erasing the phone.  If you have any newer data that is not included in the backup you'll need to save that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts.  Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger while restoring the backup.

  • HT204150 I cannot Sync the contact to icloud

    How can I sync the contact list from iphone 4s to icloud?

    Did you go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to On and choose Merge when prompted yet?
    If so, and your contacts still aren't in your iCloud account, what account is the contact list in on your phone?  Is it in On My iPhone, a Gmail, Yahoo or exchange account?  Something else?

  • How do I transfer contacts from iCloud to my phone?

    The Apple guy at the store moved all my contacts to iCloud and restarted my phone. Now all my contacts are gone from the phone but are still in iCloud. How do I get them back on the phone?

    Hi
    I just figured out how to restore contacts from icloud....
    Try this if you already have the contacts tab turned on in iclouds on ur phone settings...& it still have no contacts:
    Go to icloud.com - contacts
    bottom left hand corner is the gear icon which is settings - then select all
    This selects all your contacts then go to export as tv card or something like that
    A window pops up asking u to save - save onto ur computer where u can access easily
    go to ur email, compose new email & attach the saved contact list that u just saved onto ur computer
    on ur phone open mail, then open ur email with the attached contacts
    open the attached contacts - at the top it will say ' add all contacts' select that
    then it will pop up 'create as new contacts' or 'merge contacts'
    i selected create as new contacts as iphone 4 deleted all my contacts from my phone
    after a while it downloaded all my contacts back onto my phone which I double checked by entering the contacts app from my iphone
    so happy i got all my contacts back yay! i had over 400!!!
