Go to your contacts on iPhone and choose iCloud contacts

Yes I have a Mac....but the contacts came from my droid 3 about a week ago I got this 4s and now the contacts from here won't sync to the iPad or Mac idk what's going on
 
Quoted from jason.siegal

"Open up Address Book and have it pull your contacts from Google. Then sync Address Book contacts to your iPhone. Then turn on iCloud on your Mac. It'll tell you that it will need to disable the Google sync. But that's fine now since you already have your contacts. ;)"

This work for me :D
