Q: How do I import contacts and photos to my new iPhone 5 from my iPad 2. ICloud is set up, I've tried a restore and backup and nothing seems to be coming over to the iPhone.
I just bought a new iPhone 5 and have set it up with iCloud. I want to import my mail, contacts, photos and calendar from my iPad 2. It's not happening. I've tried erasing everything on my new phone and restoring from iCloud backup on my iPad as per HT4137:IOS. Both devices fully updated. Still nothing.
My computer at office is a PC and does not have iCloud on it.
Hope you can help!

In truth, the new iPhone is for my husband who finally decided to give up his Blackberry. He has had an iPad for over a year and is very tech challenged. He uses several email addresses on Microsoft's Exchange mail and the addresses have several servers. None are iCloud. I'm an "Apple Addict" using nothing but Macs since 1984 and I've never heard of Exchange. Neither had my husband since he relies on his IT guy who is not an Apple fan.
Anyway, that was the problem. Exchange. Microsoft again! Once the Genius entered the correct email addresses, etc. the sync was immediate.
Always a good day when I learn something new!
