Q: Nothing showing in iCloud (yet another problem!!!)
Getting heartily sick of Apple now.
I have inherited an iPhone 5c from my daughter, and have been trying to copy the contacts across from the old iPhone 4. Should be simple, unless of course it's Apple where after spending a short amount of time searching the web for a solution, you can't apparently copy contacts form the phone to the SIM card And then simply copy across to the new phone
So last Night, following advice from various forums, I backed up the contacts to iCloud which took around 2 hours. When I then tried to use iCloud on the new(er!!) phone to pull contacts through - nothing. Checked iCloud - nothing showing even though it was telling me I had used around 3.3 GB of storage.
A few more attempts without success, so I resorted to a third party app which did seem to do the trick.
However, looking at the way that the contacts have been ordered, I thought it should be a simple matter to use one of the fields (Work field) to group the contacts. Second mistake - apparently you can't do this either......unless you use iCloud to set up the groups.
So now I'm in the position of having 300+ contacts, which seem to be ordered randomly (some by first name, some by last name) without any apparent way of being able to access the contacts to sort them......
Any help gratefully appreciated before the damned phone sails through the window!!!
Many thanks.
iPhone 5c
