Cannot sync iphone contacts

When switching contact sync to Yahoo or Google from iCloud, did not see any sync done.
When switching contact to a new Outlook account with no contact for testing, can see 88 email addresses sync into Outlook, all without any phone numbers. What went wrong??? How do I get the contacts in iphone out into Outlook, Yahoo or Google so that I can sync those contacts into other phones???

Switching the default account is only helpful for new contact, and does nothing to sync existing contact located in the iCloud group.
Anyway, I have found a solution by using iDrive: http://www.idrive.com/online-backup-download.htm
Thanks for responsing.

  • HT1296 i cannot sync iphone contacts to my macbook

    How do I sync iphone contacts to my macbook? i have tried the obvious: connecting the phone, going into iTunes and selecting Info and Contacts and sync and apply, but nothing happens on my Mac. Thank you for any feedback.

    Make sure you enter at least one unique contact (one that is not on your phone - make up an imaginary friend if necessary) in the Address Book on your Macbook before you sync, and choose the "merge" option when you sync. The contacts on your phone will sync to address book on your Macbook, and your imaginary friend will sync to your phone. You can delete him if you want.

  • TS1627 Cannot sync iphone contacts to address book.

    My iphone 4 contacts are not syncing with my address book.  I have followed the instructios about checking the sync box on the info pane.  I am not syncing my contacts to icloud.  Last time i did that, it wiped out all my contacts.  Any suggestions?

    Is your Address Book on your Mac empty? Try the following, add a new test contact on your iPhone. Next try to sync again. If nothing happens, make sure you have set up the Default Contact Sync account on your iPhone to point to Address Book.
    To do so, go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars and under "Contacts" look at what you have set up as "Default"

  • Cannot sync iphone contacts to itunes to sync with address book

    need to import iPhone contacts into new mac.trying to use iTunes, but it is not syncing. Tried mobile me, no luck. Help

    What is the problem?
    Why not move everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one?
    If you sync your iphone to a blank computer, then the contacts will be erased.

  • 10.9.1 upgrade cannot sync iPhone contacts

    Ever since I upgraded to 10.9.1 OSX my iPhone longer syncs contacts or calendar events to it.  I can't find out where on iTunes I need to enable this?  Haaaaalp! 

    The fact that I need to use iCloud to sync my contacts after upgrading to OS 10.9 REALLY makes me angry. My previous experiences with iCloud were disasterous. iCloud froze my Mac Pro, deleted contacts, added them in triplicate, etc. After 3 trips to the Genius bar to address these iCloud issues I permanently disconnected from iCloud and my Macs worked as intended.
    After just talking with Apple's support, the support person told me to sync using iCloud. Guess what? I now have duplicate contact groups and triplicate addresses - same same issue for which I disconnect from iCloud before.
    Apple! Please give us back the ability to sync our devices without the aggrevation of using iCloud! I DO NOT WANT TO USE ICLOUD BECAUSE IT CREATES MORE PROBLEMS THAN IT IS WORTH.

  • Cannot sync iphone. an unkown error has occured (-50)

    I cannot sync my iphone 4.  I keep getting this error:  cannot sync iphone. an unkown error has occured (-50)
    Tried a hard restart on the phone and repair/reinstall of itunes.  I can backup the iphone, does anyone know how to solve this problem?

    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

  • Updated iTunes yesterday and now cannot sync iPhone 5

    updated iTunes yesterday and now cannot sync iPhone 5

    Hard to believe an update did this!! I had the exact problem-updated my iPod & iTunes software & iTunes was crashing whenever I hooked up the iPod-"unclicking" all of my purchased music did the trick! THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH FOR THAT TIP-I'M SURE I WOULD'VE STILL BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM!!
    Wish I hadn't restored factory settings first since I would have at least still had my piles of PURCHASED music on the iPod-I accidentally had ONE purchased song checked off to update the iPod & it crashed all over again-glad it was easy enough to figure out which song wasn't from my cd collection that I uploaded! Does anyone have any idea how this will be handled? It seems that money should be refunded for buying these songs for Apple products that, upon the company's instructions to upgrade, can no longer be played on the hardware they're specifically designed for! Or at least they're hopefully coming up with a new upgrade to solve the problem! Very irritating situation!

    I manage all of my email in Outlook, delete email and trash it however the update isn't reflected in the Cloud and\or Apple email.  I have to then open up Apple mail and delete again. 
    Then something is setup incorrectly, which version of OSX are you on, and is this an iCloud mail address (@mac, @me or @icloud)
    From your description of the issue I suspect that it is Outlook that is incorrectly setup.

  • I can sync with my outlook calendar, but cannot sync with contacts or e-mail.

    I can sync with my outlook calendar, but cannot sync with contacts or e-mail.  When I click on Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars it doesn't open and reverts to the home page.  When I try to open Mail I get an error message saying "Cannot get mail.  The user name or password for Gmail is incorrect".  If I press "settings" it reverts to home page.  I was revised to restore settings which I have now done, but the problem has not been resolved. Can anyone help?
    i do have a gmail account and may have used this when I first set up itunes/ipad (I'm new to Apple).  However, I want to synchronize with my Microsoft Exchange account.

    It may be a bit late for your needs, but there's a sync product for Outlook (an add-in) that will sync public and private folders/calendars.  Once you have your items in a mailbox folder, the regular ios sync will bring it to your device.  It's called Add2Outlook, it's made by DidItBetter.com Software.
    It syncs private and public, mailboxes and folders in any direction.  One-way, two-way, read-only or writable.  It also works with Office 365 and hosted exchange providers, if that's your situation.  It works for calendars, contacts, tasks, email, whatever.  It can even sync to PST or between two different Exchange servers.
    It installs on your workstation, not on the Exchange server.
    Check it out here: Outlook Contact and Calendar Sync for Office 365

  • I cannot sync outlook contacts and calenders

    i am using Mac book air and outlook mac 2011..

    I am not sure but I think the Outlook "sync" with iTunes only works in one direction - i.e. from your PC to your iPhone - if you are looking to export the contacts the otehr way round  -  from your phone to your PC, you can refer to the following alternative methods to sync iPhone contacts.
