I don't understand these instructions. Please tell me exactly what to do. If I go on my iphone and go to contacts, how do I get them on my ipad? Or should I go go Bell mail account? I have backed up the cloud on both devices but there are no contacts showing.

Again contacts is not part of the backup, they are either synced to your cloud or email account.

Go to settings - icloud or your mail account and look for contacts which ever one you have contacts turned on for is what you're syncing to.

Sign into whatever cloud or mail program you use to sync contacts on your ipad and turn contacts on.
