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

  • 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.

    Do you use iCloud? On both devices - Go to Settings>iCloud and turn on Contacts, calendars, reminders, and whatever you want to sync in those settings.

    Hi silverk,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand the need for all of your calendars to be up to date across all of your devices and how frustrating it can be when they are not syncing as you would expect. In this situation I would suggest reading over and using the attached article for troubleshooting.

    How can I sync my contacts - please help

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If they are iCloud contacts, just log into iCloud on your new phone.
    You should restore from a back up of your old phone though to get things like your photos and other app data onto your new phone.

  • How can I sync the contacts from outlook on my macbook pro with my iPhone

    My iPhone 5 is backing up on iCloud and my music, etc is syncing through iTunes (11.4) on my MacBook Pro 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 4GB 1600 MHz DDR3 but my calendar and contacts from Outlook 2011 are not syncing.  Does anyone know which settings I may need to change?  I have updated my operating system to OS X 10.9.4 and iTunes.

    You'll need to find a way to export your Outlook contacts and calendar to Apple's Contacts and Calendar applications. There are some paid software apps that can do this but I don't know of any free way other than exporting each event/contact individually. Outlook 2011, when it first came out, synced well with iCal and Address Book (or whatever it was called) but that's no longer the case... maybe when Office for Mac 2014 comes out?
    Sorry that I don't have an answer to what seems to be a common problem.

  • HT201269 How can i sync my contacts from the iPhone to my mac pro?

    Hi
    I am trying to sync my contacts on my IPhone to the mac pro but it seems not work.
    Any one faced this issue and solved, Please advice.

    If you want your contacts to remain in sync across iOS devices, then you can use any Exchange-type of account.  For example, once you have a "clean" set of contacts with no duplicates, you could upload that into iCloud so that any change you make from your iPad would be reflected on your iPhone.  You don't have to use iCloud for e-mail since your devices can pull a contact from iCloud for use with GMail or Yahoo.
    But you can also set GMail up as an Exchange account if you don't want to use iCloud.  The GMail account type in iOS is not Exchange, but you can set it up that way:

    The benefit of doing this is (a) your Google contacts remain in sync across all your devices, and (b) your GMail will then support Push notification.  Just one caveat, when you do this then the default behavior when you delete an e-mail is such that it is archived to your "All Mail" folder in GMail.  The only way to change this behavior is to use your device's Safari to navigate to m.google.com/sync and change the setting on Google's server for each of your devices.  This is a one-time thing, but important if you want trashed e-mails to really go to Trash.
    As far as Contact Management Software options to clean things up, Google search is the only recommendation I have

  • How can I sync my contacts from the iPhone to google contacts while checking for duplicates?

    I have been using Outlook to sync contacts and it works well.  Now I would like to get rid of Outlook and put the contacts that I have into my gmail and Yahoo contact accounts and keep all 3 in sync.  When I do it the first time, I'd like to be able to check for duplicates.  Is there a way to do this?

  • How can I sync my contacts from my iphone to my SIM??

    I have iPhone 3GS and it got broken, so I wanted to have it repaired, but I can't, because I have all my contacts in my iPhone and I can't find a way to put it on my SIM. Can somebody help me ?

    You cannot.
    The iphone does not store to SIM at all.
    The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer.  You should have been syncing your contacts to your computer from the very beginning.
    Your contacts should be in whatever program, on your computer, you have chosen to sync.
