Contacts on my Ipad don't show up on my Iphone or Icloud. I backed up my Ipad to the Icloud but the contacts still don't show up. What can I do?

Contacts on my IPad don't show up on my IPhone or in ICloud. I backed up the IPad to the ICloud but they still don't show up. Any suggestions?

It's probably because they belong to a non-iCloud account on your iPad. (iCloud only syncs contacts that belong to the iCloud account.)


To check, open the contacts app on your iPad and tap Groups. Do you have any non-iCloud accounts listed, such as On My iPhone, Gmail, Yahoo or an exchange account?


Also go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section). Do you have the Default Account setting there, and if so, what is selected as your default account?
