sync contacts

I have hundreds of contacts on my iphone that are under my .edu email that I no longer have access to. How can I sync or move those contacts to my icloud? My phone is not recognizing those contacts and sometimes their contact info will show up, sometimes it shows as an unsaved number. Can I use my macbook to export and sync?

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 13

Contacts from iPhone not syncing to iCloud or Mac The contacts on my iPhone will not sync to iCloud or my MacBook Air. I've checked that the sync to iCloud in my phone settings is turned on. When I log into iCloud it says everything is synced across all my devices, but it does not show all of my contacts, only a list from years ago. I'm nervous to restore anything from iCloud because I'm worried it will replace the contacts on my phone with the old list, when I want to do the opposite. I want to be able to use the Messages feature on my MacBook but it doesn't have my complete list of contacts so it's showing numbers that are saved in my phone as though they aren't contacts, just the phone numbers.

Contacts do not sync to Macbook Pro My contacts have never synced from my iPhone to my macbook. It's been years and it's finally starting to become an issue now that I use my macbook for many calls, texting, etc. I tried all of the steps in this thread and it still does not work: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8377461 When I look on my icloud account at icloud.com I still see a very old contact list. How do I make my phone the master list? And then after that no matter where I add contacts I want them to sync to the cloud. Thank you Neil

Syncing Contacts between different accounts Hi, So my problem is that I have a lot of contacts on my iPhone, not realizing they are all not on the same account. For example when I removed my college email from my phone, a bunch of contacts were deleted. My primary account for my contacts is iCloud now, but only a few of my contacts are connected to that account. My MacBook only shows the few contacts selected to that account as well and I have been trying to sync all my contacts but have been unsuccessful. My question is, how can I get all my contacts under one "iCloud" account so that they can all sync between all my devices?

Where are all the contacts residing now that you would like to move to iCloud?
