[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1641060, member: 46727"] Well, that sort of complicates things... :) I don't believe you're going to be able sync those contacts in the usual manner. I have 2 iPhones (wife and mine) plus an iPad and iMac. Contacts sync across all from my iMac because: Same Apple ID, iCloud drive turned on for all devices, and in System Preferences iCloud - all settings for sync are turned on. We use Yosemite and iOS 8. Suggestion: Do not use a new Apple ID for your Dad. Let him continue to use the old one but turn on iCloud drive on the iPad and the 4s. And make sure he has iCloud for Windows setup correctly. I can't help you with the Windows setup but Apple has good instructions. He may also be able to sync the contacts using iTunes for Windows but that's not automatic and has to be repeated each time the contacts change. [/QUOTE]
