Back up contact from phone to mac

Since upgrading the OS to X, the info tab is no longer available in itunes to help me sync my contacts from my phone or mac.  Now the sync between the two are no longer working, why???

Does anyone find the below paragraph to be true...I guess that I'm going to need to discuss with an apple person, because I am missing something.  My contacts do not stay consistant in all places. 
You can create and edit your contacts by using the Contacts app on iCloud.com from a Mac or Windows web browser. Changes you make are automatically pushed to your iOS devices and computers where you set up iCloud for Contacts. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, changes are pushed to the Contacts app. On your Mac, changes are pushed to Contacts (or Address Book in OS X v10.7.5), and on your Windows computer, changes are pushed to Microsoft Outlook. No matter which device you use to edit your contacts, the changes are updated everywhere, so you never have to connect your iOS device to your computer to keep your contacts current.

  • How do I move contacts from phone to Mac Address Book

    I just bought an iPhone 4 and they moved my contacts from my Blackberry to the iPhone OK.

    I'm afraid if I sync the phone with a blank Address Book it will erase the contacts on my phone.
    Please help me.

    Hey sekhardharmana8584!
    You can transfer your Outlook contacts to your iPhone using the information in the following article:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph12317
    You could also have your contacts constantly syncing with your iPhone via iCloud and the iCloud Control Panel, which can be found here:
    iCloud Control Panel 3.1 for Windows

    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • How can I transfer contacts from IPHone to Mac?,

    First of all, thanks to everyone who will help me.
    I syncronised many times my Iphone 3GS with Mac and everything was OK (apart that I found all the contacts twice or 3 times in Iphone).
    I backuped Iphone sometimes on the Mac and others on ICloud.
    Last time, I found that the adress book in Mac was almost completely empty (only 10 or so contacts, all the groups empty) but I have everything in the IPhone.
    How can I now get to transfer all the contacts from IPhone to Mac?
    Thanks again
    Anna

    Deleted the contacts from where?  The device? the computer? both?
    Use the backup of the computer to put them back if they have been deleted off the computer.  Once that is done, they can be synced to the iPhone.

  • Is there any way to sync Outlook for Mac with iPhone? I have tried everything but not successful. Apple says it is not possible to sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5. Any help will be much appreciated.

    Is there any way to Sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5? Apple support says that only iTune can only sync contacts from "Contact" which is the default contact of Mac. If one is running Outllok on a Mac machine then it is not possible to sync the contacts with iPhone. It is strange that Apple distributors are promoting and offering machines with promise that Windows users can now run MS Office on Mac machines without any problem. While this is true, it is so strange that one cannot sync the contacts from MacBook Pro to iPhone5. If someone has found a way to sync contacts from Outlook to iPhone 5 please help as it is very frustrating to not be able to sync the contacts. Thanks, Amit.

  • Is there a way to copy or back up contacts from my Ipod touch without using Itunes?

    Is there a way to copy or back up contacts from my Ipod touch without using Itunes?

    Are you sure that you can transfer contacts from the iPod to Skydrive?
    I would try the links that I previusly provided and try to get iTunes to see the iPOd so you can do everthing right.
    If you find a computer that can see the iPOd yu can update the iPod on that computer.  See:
    iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5
    Yu can make that your suncing computer by -
    - Transfering iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Connect the iPod and make a backup by right clicking on the iPOd under Dvices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore from that backup. That will also update the iPod.

  • Back up contacts from ipad to icloud

    how do you back up contacts FROM the ipad INTO icloud?  i did a sync and a backup to icloud and im still missing some in the cloud

    You can perform a "cross-platform" restore like this, but it will only restore settings and apps that are compatible with your iPad Mini.  For example, apps that are not "universal" so they will work on both your iPod Touch and your iPad Mini will not be restored.

  • How do I TRANSFER CONTACTS (back up contacts) from iPhone 4s to Windows 7

    How do I TRANSFER CONTACTS (back up contacts) from iPhone 4s to Windows 7

    THANK YOU. Sorry for late response. Had to pick someone up. 
    randers4    - I decided to go with the My Contacts Backup app which produced success (I'll know for sure if I need to use the file)
    JoFlo57  - I understand that I could use iCloud but I'm a little on the paranoid side about everybody's data in one location... what with hackers getting into Sony's Playstation accounts and other infamous huge hacking security failures I frankly don't feel safe storing anything on iCloud.

  • Once bootcamp is installed on my Mac, how easy is it to go back and forth from windows to Mac? Just a press of button or do I have to completely log off of one to go to the other?

    Once bootcamp is installed on my Mac, how easy is it to go back and forth from windows to Mac? Just a press of button or do I have to completely log off of one to go to the other?

    Using vitual machine programs (VirtualBox, Parallels, VMWare Fusion) you can run both at the same time.
    Load Windows under BootCamp.  Then load the VM software and select the existing BootCamp partition as the "virtualized space".
    But ... BootCamp first, following Csound1's advice about backups.  And you will wantto boost RAM most likely because you need to allocate certain amount of system RAM to each "virtual machine", as well as leaving some for OSX.
    But ... BootCamp first.

    How can i transfer back up contact from desktop pc working on Windows 7 to iphone 5 working on ios 8.1?

    You can't restore to a backup that was taken on a device which has a higher version of iOS than on your iPad, you will have to update your iPad to 8.1.3 to be able to restore to it
    You should be able to update your iPad via Settings > General > Software Update
