iTunes can do your task, just sync your contact from your iPhone to your computer with iTunes and transfer all your contacts to your iPad. Google for instruction how to transfer your contact from your iphone to your computer or else you will lost all your contact with just a slightly setting mistake.

thks guys....
did google before i ask here... but the suggestion that was put up was for MAC users, which I am not....
and PC users suggestions not useable..
did search in the apple support site, but that is for overall syncing, nothing specific towards data transfer...
I tried itunes, but somehow not working... maybe i did it wrongly? will try again tonight
mobileme, vr expensive ler bro....
google contacts, well, i will still have to type in all my contact again right?

Have you ever backed up your contacts on your iPhone to your PC iTunes? If you haven't, then of course it would not transfer to your iPad. Sync your iPhone, go to Info tab and ensure Sync Contacts is checked. It will have an option to select Microsoft Outlook, Windows Contacts etc. Once you have sync, remove iPhone and plug in your iPad. Then do the same, ensure Sync Contacts is checked in Info tab.

google contact use CSV file.

Go save your contact to CSV using excel spreadsheet.

Then upload to google contact.

Then sync to iPad.

For my case, I sync from iPhone to iPad through google contacts. Easy to do and pretty straight forward.

I use idrive which save all my (2k) contacts. Download at AppsStore from your iPhone first, just the idrive lite should be ok. And then, back up all your contacts in the iphone. Meanwhile download the idrive at your ipad and then, once OK semua, loading back your contact in your ipad. This is so easy smile.gif

thks guys for all your help...
the csv approach is effortless....
and i found out why i dont seem to be able to sync thru itunes....
as what matthew pointed out, i did not backup my contacts....
i always assumed when u hook up the phone to itunes, it would perform an auto backup which backs up everything..... silly me...
anyways thks guys! notworthy.gif notworthy.gif
