Can't get my contacts from mac to iphone

recently started to use icloud for my mac ipad and one iphone - no problems  My old 3g iphone (can't use icloud) no longer syncs using iTunes to address book on my mac and i have lost all my iphone contacts  Notes and calendar are fine any ideas?

I've had the same problem. Updated my address book before I synced my phone for the first time. Then I had a hand full not sync to the phone. When I noticed, and updated the contact info on my phone, the next time I synced it erased from the phone. Haven't found much out yet. Hopefully it will fix in the next iPhone update.

  • Can't sync new contacts from Mac to iPhone with 2.0.2

    Hi
    I updated my iPhone software to 2.0.2. After that, I added some new contacts to my Mac. They are not sync'ed to my iPhone. The 'old' contacts are though: I erased my contacts from my iPhone and re-synced, and all the contacts that were there before I updated the software came back to my iPhone.
    Note that it works from the iPhone to the Mac: I added a new contact to my iPhone, after the system update, and found them in my Mac rapidly after.
    How bizarre is that??
    Of course, I checked, and my contacts are checked on in the MobileMe page of the iPhone.
    Any idea/help?
    Thanks
    Laurent

    @ Laurent P.
    Some things to try.
    Reset Sync History. To do this on a Mac, open iSync in your Applications folder. Once open, click the iSync menu and choose Preferences. Small window opens with a Reset Sync History button. Does not delete any data, just don't expect your next sync to be super quick.
    Also, under the Info tab in iTunes, choose the Advanced option of replacing everything on the iPhone with what is on the computer. If it works, be sure to uncheck that setting. I think it is a one time check only thing, but be sure.
    Wait...
    I just noticed you said MobileMe...if you use MobileMe to sync your stuff, flip Contacts Off then back On. If that doesn't work, delete the MobileMe account on the iPhone and re-add it.
    Otherwise, try a hard reset (both buttons for about 10 sec. ignore slide to power off), and reset network settings.
    Also, does the Mac contacts show up in MobileMe? If they don't, go to System Preferences > MobileMe > Sync tab and check your settings. Perform a sync too. Under the Advanced button you can Reset Sync Data and choose to replace MobileMe stuff with stuff on your computer or vice versa.

    I am a former .Mac user. I have both @mac and @me. No issues here after 2.0.2.

    Can i get my contacts from textfree app on my pc if ipod wont turn on?

    If iTunes does not see the iPod then:
    - See if you can extrac themn from an existing backup
    iPhone Backup Extractor for Windows and Mac
    - Restore an iPod 2G or later, iPhone 3G or later or an iPod from existing biPod backup. The apps have to be in the iTunes library in order to have a place for the app data to go.

  • I can't get my contacts from IPhone to go into my ICloud on my PC so that I can load into my IPad.  Any suggestions?

    I can't get my contacts from my IPhone to upload into my iCloud on my PC so that I can load them into my IPad.  Any suggestions?

    I'm not sure if you mean to say "back up" because a backup does not include contacts.  What you need to do is go to Settings>iCloud and turn on both icloud and contacts.  That should connect the phone to icloud and sync the contacts.

  • How can I get my contact from my iphone to outlook 2007? I only get one contact.

    I have been everywhere and can not find helpful information. I had to replace the harddrive on my computer and I can not get the contact from my phone to outlook. The only one that will transfer is a new on that I just added.

    Is your new phone another iPhone?
    If so, just sync them via iTunes from the contact manager you were syncing your old iPhone to.

    Did you turn on syncing of contacts in iTunes?  BTW, this does not involve iCloud.  It's strictly computer to iPad via USB cable.

    There are a couple of iOS Backup Extractor programs that can read data from the backup sets. I've not personally tested any so I don't have a recommendation.

  • HT204053 How can I get the contacts list on my iPhone to appear in my iPad Air

    How can I get the contact list on my iPhone to appear in my iPad Air?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Please try the following…
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • HT4859 I backedup iphone 4 and iphone 5 to icloud. I need contacts from the ipone 4 backup but I do not have that phone anymore and icloud will only let me restore the iphone 5's backups now. Is there anyway to get the contacts from my previous iphone 4?

    I backedup my iphone 4 to the cloud before upgrading to an iphone 5. I also backedup my iphone 5 to icloud. I can see both phone's backups side by side on the my screen on icloud. But it will not allow me to restore the iphone 4 backup to my iphone 5.  I need contacts from the iphone 4 backup but I do not have that phone anymore and icloud will only let me restore the iphone 5's backups to my iphone 5. Is there anyway to get the contacts from my previous iphone 4 backup?

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.
