Is there a way to transfer contacts from Mac Address Book to an iPhone?

I tried posting this before but no one answered.  I dont currently have an iphone (or any smartphone).  I do have a Mac and I have my contacts in the Mac Address Book (not in an email client like Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail)
I want to know if I get an iphone is there an easy way to transfer contacts (names, addresses, emails etc) and especially HOME/WORK/CELL Phone numbers from the Address Book on the Macbook Pro to the iphone.... 
I would think there's a way to do that since both the Mac and the iphone are Apple products....but no one has been able to give me a straight answer on this...except to transfer contacts from Gmail but my contacts are not in Gmail
So if I get an iphone (or probably any phone) do I have to manually enter all my contacts each time?  I thought that it would be easier with an iphone than an Android or other smartphone.

I appreciate the link but wasnt really looking to go through a 100+ page iphone guide.  From what I saw, it said what other people have told me - which is it will sync contacts from Google (Gmail) or Yahoo...so that doesnt mean it will sync contacts directly from an Android phone's contact list.  All the manual said was you sync thru itunes.
It looks like what I should do at some point is manually input all my contacts into a new "clean and unused" Gmail account...Unless there was an easy way to transfer my Mac Address Book to a Gmail Account.
It seems like if you have contacts in a Gmail account, it will be easy to transfer anywhere.
Im starting to wonder if an Android would be bette than an iphone anyway.  Considering the nightmare time Ive had with a Mac in just a few months, Im surprised Im even still considering another Apple product.
Thanks

    Is there a way to transfer my Comcast email adress book to my iPhone 4s?

    If Comcast does not provide an option to sync your Comcast online contacts with an address book app on your computer, they should provide an option for exporting the contacts to be imported by an address book app on your computer that supports syncing contacts with the iPhone.

  • Transfer contacts from Mac Address Book to PC Outlook

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone knows how to transfer from Mac Address Book to Outlook on a PC? I have tried exporting the list as a .CSV, then importing it, however it only imported 1 contact, not the rest that were saved on the vcard. Your help is very much appreciated!!! Thanks
    Josh

    Address Book does not export a .CSV file. I twill export a vCard file, however, by selecting all of your contacts from the contact list then drag it all to the Desktop. You will end up with a single file containing all the vCards in your AB database. Now, if your PC version of Outlook can import a vCard file then you're all done. If not, then you have some work ahead of you. You can find another PC mail application that can import vCards and export an Outlook compatible file or try one of the following:
    AddressBook to CSV Exporter
    Lustro
    vCard Exporter
    Export Address Book
    Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • Is there a way to transfer contacts from my 1 iphone to my 2nd iphone, both of my att family plan

    I want to transfer my contacts from my 4GS phone to my 3GS phone. Both are on my family plan on AT&T. My husband also has a 4G Iphone.
    Thank you for your help. I've tried everything. katmay43

    Another option is to use the free app My Contacts Backup.  This will back up your contacts on your 4S as an email attachement.  Send this email to yourself, open it on your 3GS, tap the attachment and it will import the contacts.

  • Lost of all contacts from my address book and my iPhone

    I need help please.
    I was syncing my iphone today and I realized later on after I plugged off the iphone that I have lost all my contacts on the phone and the address book on my macbook pro.
    I want to know how can I get back my contacts either through the iphone or the macbook pro.
    Thank you.

    When you sync an iPhone w/ itunes, iTunes automatically creates a backup. Thus, I would recommend doing a Restore from the most recent back-up.
    Moreover, when you connect ur iPhone to iTunes, make sure you DONT allow iTunes to back-up again. Otherwise, the back-up will overwrite the previous one
    Good luck

  • Syncing or importing my address book contact from Mac address book to palm

    all attempts to move my Mac addresses (in address book) into my TX are met with grayed out application, links etc. Can anyone send me the step to follow? My hotsync works between TX and Palm desktop.
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    some palm devices are supported directly through isync (check somewhere on the apple website to see if yours is one of them.
    And when you say 'greyed out application' do you mean this is when trying to open an exported address book file by doing an open with? If so, to ungrey it, where it says 'recommended applications', change it to 'all applications'

  • Easiest way to transfer contacts from iphone 4 to ...

    which the easy way to transfer contacts from iphone4 to 520.
    i have backup of iphone4 in windows outlook express.from here anyway to nokia 520?
    or any other easiest way?

    Try THIS
    Outlook express is ancient and has not been supported or available for years. From you using that I assume you are still on XP at best.
    You could export to windows address book from Outlook Express, then download Windows Mail from Windows Essentials. Once installed, sign in to Windows Mail using the same Microsoft account used on the 520 and import the address book. This would sync the contacts to your Microsoft account and from there to the 520.

  • HT204150 Is there any way to import contacts from microsim?

    Is there any way to import contacts from microsim?

    You're welcome.  It might be a longshot, but you might be able to take the sim to your carrier and see if they can help.  They frequently transfer contacts between devices so they would at least have a sim reader and may be wiling to give you a vCard (.vcf) file with the contacts.  If you could get a combo .vcf file that was compatible, you could email that to yourself, then open the email on your iPad and tap the file to import the contacts.
