Can I upload one contact from my iMac address book to my iphone from iCloud?

Can I upload one(1) contact from my iMac address book using icloud to my iphone without having to upload the whole address book??

No, it would upload (sync) your entire address book.  If you want to get a single contact to your phone from Address Book you can select it, then go to File>Export>Export vCard and save it to your desktop.  Then email the saved vCard (.vcf file) to yourself, open the email on your phone and tap the attachment to import the contact to your phone.

  • Can't find how to get iPad Contacts into new iMac Address Book

    I've got a brand new iMac and if I look in the import feature of Address Book it wants to import from a file on my iMac but there's no iPad listed there even though it's plugged in. iTunes only seems to sync first time from iMac to iPad but all my contact details are on the iPad. Surely there is there some way to migrate my iPad Contacts to my iMac address book isn't there?

    Data to and from your iPad is managed via iTunes. With your iPad connected to your iMac, open iTunes and then select the Info Pane. There you can choose to sync data. I would advise that you first right click on the name of your iPad in the iTunes Devices list and choose BackUp. Just in case anything goes funky!
    From the iPad 2 manual:
    Info Pane
    The Info pane lets you configure the sync settings for your contacts, calendars, email accounts, and web browser.
    • Contacts
    You can sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo! Address Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Contacts, Windows Address Book (Microsoft Outlook Express), Windows Vista Contacts, or Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with only one application at a time.)
    If you sync with Yahoo! Address Book, you only need to click Configure to enter your new login information when you change your Yahoo! ID or password after you’ve set up syncing.

  • Why doesn't BlackBerry Desktop Software synchronize my BlackBerry contacts with my iMac Address Book

    Hi there, please help! I am trying to sync my BlackBerry contacts with my iMac Address Book. I used BlackBerry Desktop Software and did a two-way sync, but my Address Book is still empty. The images on my BlackBerry copied to iPhoto, so the sync 'worked' here but not for the contacts. Thanks!

    Hello AdalaMichelle and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    What OSX version does your Mac have? What's your BlackBerry Desktop Software version? 
    When you set up your Mac, did you enable iCloud for your Mac Address Book? 
    Is your Mac or your BlackBerry Address Book blank? 
    Did you enable wireless contact sync on your BlacKBerry when you added an email account? 
    Thanks!

  • How can I sync my contacts from my macbook address book to my iphone

    i have my contacts in my macbook (address book) and now i need that on my IPhone. can any one help

    on your Mac, go to System Preferences > iCloud
    Check you have the "contacts" box activated
    on your iPhone, go to Settings > iCloud
    Check if you have the same Apple ID you use on Mac (if not, please enter the same ID)
      After that, activate the "contacts" on your iPhone too.
    it is supposed to work

  • My contacts show duplicates for address books on my iPads and iCloud. Why and what can I do to fix it?

    There are duplicates for all of my contacts showing up on both iPads and in iCloud. Why and how can I fix that? Thanks.

    Firstly, may I ask you about your operating system, your profile states that you are using 10.6.8, lion and therefore iCloud will not work with 10.6.8.
    Assuming you are using lion:
    One reason you may have duplicates is that you have each contact listed under your 'iCloud' account AND under your 'on my mac' account. Only contacts in the iCloud account will sync.
    Click on the ribbon in the Address Book to reveal 'Users & Groups', and then by selecting each account on the left side you will see which contacts are in which account. (make sure nothing is typed in the search field)
    If this is the reason you have duplicates you have two options of dealing with the situation. Either you can leave the duplicates alone and click on one account or the other before clicking on the ribbon again to limit what you see to that account when you return to the main part of your Address Book.
    Or you can delete all the contacts from one account (usually the 'on my mac' account if you want to continue syncing with iCloud). Click on the account you want to delete contacts from on the left side of the Address Book and select the first contact in the list on the right, shift click the last contact to select all and delete.
    Finally, You may want to check your default account is set correctly in the Address Book preferences.
    This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Address Book.

  • How can i add a contact to a global address book in exchange 2013 or other global list?

    I would like all users in Exchange 2013/Outlook 2013 to use the same addressbook. It must be possible for all users to add or edit extra contacts. I cannot find anywhere how to do this. Sharing an addressbook is not an option but a workaround. Can anyone
    tell me how to solve this problem? I created a Global Addesslist named ROLODEX with the Exchange 2013 ECP. This shows up under Outlook 2013, but i cannot add contacts (or even better copy them from my own addresslist). Does anyone have any ideas? Maybe a YouTube
    link?

    These suggestions do not work for you either:

  • Possible to do one-time import of Thunderbird address book?

    From reading the past 18 months worth of postings, I realize that iPhone communication with Thunderbird is very bad, and it seems to be impossible to sync the Thunderbird address book to the iPhone contacts.
    But even if I can't keep them synced, is there a way to do a one-time import of the address book into my iPhone contacts? I can export the address book as a csv text file if that helps. I hate the thought of having to type in all the people in the address book manually, since I have about 100 of them.

    I am afraid I do not quite understand what you mean (I am not overly confident about the workings of computers).
    Data Acquisition 101.  It takes time to take data.  YOU told the sound card to acquire data at ~22kS/s.  YOU asked for 100k samples each loop iteration.  Therefore YOU asked for 4.5 seconds worth of data each loop iteration.  If you want the iterations to go faster, you need to either 1) increase the sample rate and/or 2) decrease the number of samples you acquire with each read.

  • ICloud Address Book iMac Address Book?

    Why does my iCloud Address Book have 80 contacts while my iMac Address Book has 182? There's no obvious pattern in the dropped entries. Seems like iCloud just dropped a random bunch of cards.
    Any ideas?

    Sometimes it's just the simple things. Went into System Preferences > iCloud, unchecked contacts, re-checked contacts. My iMac, my Air, & my iCloud now have the same contacts again.
    Thanks for the reminder.  : )
    Take care.

  • I have several issues that I hope you can help me out with. I am a professional photographer with a Mac with OS X 10.9.4: - I can only make ONE contact sheet in CS6 (from AUTOMATE) from pictures indicated in Bridge. If I want to make another contact sheet

    I have several issues that I hope you can help me out with. I am a professional photographer with a Mac with OS X 10.9.4:
    - I can only make ONE contact sheet in CS6 (from AUTOMATE) from pictures indicated in Bridge. If I want to make another contact sheet I need to shut down and restart CS6.
    - Camera RAW: if I change any setting in Camera RAW (except exposure), having first optimized the exposure, the exposure will automatically return to zero. Sometimes when I've set exposure and cropped the picture in Camera RAW Plug-In, the effects are lost just by opening the picture in CS6.
    - Sometimes if I crop a picture in Camera RAW, it may be impossible to open it again from Bridge!
    - I cannot do lens corrections in Camera RAW, at all. The Camera RAW comment is that "it cannot load the correct lens type". Why?

    Are you writing that when you select  a large number of images in the bridge  like a hundred thumbnails  when you then use Bridge menu Tools>Photoshop>Contact Sheet II that Photoshop only produces a single contact sheet for the first few thumbnails and fails to produce additional contact sheets for the other selected thumbnails? Photoshop contact sheet II script should create as many contact sheet as needed  for the numbers of thumbnails selected.  Perhaps the script is hung or you have exhausted  your machine resources.
    ACR Crop tool does not crop the RAW file it records crop settings to be used during the conversion process.    Camera RAW DATA is not altered.  The only changes made to RAW Files is ACR Metadata may be added.  Anything you do in ACR can be un-done in ACR.    If you can not open a RAW File in ACR the Files is either corrupt or from a new camera ACR does not support yet.  ACR should not corrupt RAW files.
    If you do not have a lens profile for ACR I think you should still be able to do lens correction manually in ACR.
    Some of what you write I don't follow could you post some screen captures of your problems often a picture helps.

  • Contacts per iMac address book:  1,301  iCloud:  1,486 iPhone 4s: 1,508 iPhone 4: 1,489 How can I make them all the same?

    My address book has been an intense problem for me for a while (i.e. even pre-iPhone 4s/iCloud).  Before I upgraded, my iPhone 4 had thousands of duplicate contacts.  The address book was up to ~7,500 even though what was then Mobile Me had somewhere in the 1,000 to 1,500 range for contacts.  So after I upgraded, I attempted to fix it by doing the following:
    I connected my iPhone 4S to the iMac (after I set it up with the latest iPhone 4 backup), went to the iTunes info tab for my device and unchecked syncing for any address book contacts, calendars, email accounts.  And then I synced it.  This didn't work.  I believe my contacts were still at ~7,500.
    So next I tried checking just the Sync Address Book Contacts option on the info tab which then allowed me to check contacts under the Advanced/Replace Information on this iPhone section at the bottom of the info tab.  This made my iPhone contact list further balloon up to 13,000 + contacts. 
    So the next thing I did (still in the info tab) was to select Selected Groups under the "Sync Address Book Contacts" section of the info tab.  I believe I still had the option to replace the info on my iPhone selected.  I then selected one of my contact groups that had no contacts in it.  Why would I create a contact group with no contacts in it?  I didn't.  I created some smart groups and prior to my iPhone 4s upgrade I noticed the smart groups contact lists I spent some time setting up were not populated with anything.  Same with some of the non-smart group contact lists I had created. 
    After telling it to only sync that empty group and to replace the contents on my iPhone I ended up with 1,508 contacts.  Why I didn't end up with either zero or the same number as in iCloud is beyond me.  This at least seems closer to my true number of contacts but as mentioned in my subject above the number of contacts differ between all three places (iPhone 4s, iCloud and iMac address book).  I also noticed that my wife is no longer in my iPhone 4S or in iCloud as a contact but she is listed in the iMac contacts which has fewer contacts than the other two places. 
    So I believe that in all three locations, there are situations where the address book includes contacts not in the other two locations, and vice versa (excludes contacts that are in the other locations).  Can somebody help me understand how I can truly sync my contacts so that they are identical in all locations?  This has been a huge problem for me since the Mobile Me roll out and sadly continues to persist now that I've migrated to iCloud.
    Blah, I am so fed up with this persistent issue.

    I assume you never got a solution. My own painful story is here:

  • Can I merge my iPhone address book with my iMac address book? I do not want to replace one for the other, just combine.

    Can I merge my iPhone address book with my iMac address book? I do not want to replace one for the other, just combine them.
    It seems that you have to choose one or the other, keep iMAcc addresses or iPhone.

    Indeed you can merge the address book using iCloud. You can find the info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998. I am not sure if you can de-duplicate though.
    If that doesn't work or you want more out of your address book, you can always try connex.io (I work for the company). It's a service that automatically syncs, deduplicates, cleans and updates your address book across many different devices and services. If you want to try it out, you can get a free trail version at www.connex.io.
    Good luck!

    I have business and personal e-mail accounts with different contacts. Can I have more than one address book on my iPhone?

    Set up an additional user account and use one for work and one for personal stuff - each will have a separate address book. Turn on fast user switching for easy switching between the two.
