hi Merv Yes, it's through Contacts on iDevice. When the iPad is plugged into iTunes you select the iPad under Devices. It will show you "Summary". Beside that is "Info" . Click on that. It will then have a tick box to "sync address book" (or something worded like that. Ensure that's ticked and Click Apply to save those changes. Then when it syncs it should move everything across.
