Contacts/Calendar from iPhone to new iMac...

I have a new iMac and moved everything over from my Windows PC to my iMac except for my Outlook contacts and calendar which are on my iPhone already.
Can I have my iPhone simple sync with my new iMac and have it transfer my contacts and calendar over to my iCal and iMac Address Book? If not, what is the correct way to do this.
Thanks,

Check that you are adding them to your iCloud contacts and not to 'on my mac' contacts on your mac address book.

  • Copy contacts from iPhone to new iMac

    I have just bought a new iMac running Yosemite. I want to transfer contacts from my iPhone address book to my new iMac. I have tried going via iCloud but iCloud does not seem to be synching, doesn't appear in iTunes etc.

    On the iPhone you need to have Settings > iCloud > Contacts on.
    On the Mac you need to have Apple Menu > System Preferences > iCloud > Contacts on.
    That should be all that is needed.
    You don't need to have iOS8. If you have logged into www.cloud.com and the contacts aren't there, then the problem has nothing to do with the iMac (or at least that part of the problem doesn't).
    If it isn't working between the phone and www.cloud.com then I would be sure to perform exactly every step in Get help using iCloud Contacts in the section titled "iOS" all of the way down to the section titled "OS X Lion or later."

  • Exchange server down; restore contacts\calendar from iphone

    Hello community,
    i ran into a problem when helping a friend out trying to migrate his contacts\calendar entries from iphone3 to his new iphone5. We first used iTunes to back up his old iphone's data and then restored this data to the new iphone. However, his calendar entries were completely missing as were most of his contacts (not all of them). I then synced the calendar\contacts to Outlook, but got the same result: the calendar was totally empty, and most of his contacts too (however, the synchronisation process mentioned something about Exchange).
    My friend is not very savyy when it comes to technical stuff and had his iPhone set up by a collegue a couple of years ago and didn't know anything about its configuration.
    As i figured out the phone was indeed configured to save its calendar\contacts on an Exchange server hosted by an external company. I confirmed that when creating a new calendar entry, the phone was set to save the entry in a calendar hosted on the Exchange server. (The same thing with new contacts)
    However, the problem is the Exchange server is down for a couple of years now as the external company no longer exists. Think my friend must have "clicked away" a notification about this once as i used the old phone for several hours figuring out the settings and NEVER got any notification about the phone not being able to access the Exchange server.
    I searched the internet how to migrate Exchange calendar\entrys to a new phone, but all tutorials i found are based on scenarios where the Exchange server is still accessible. Does anybody know any way or 3rd party tool (the ones i tried only gave me the same result as the iTunes\Outlook approach) to retrieve the entries from the iPhone ?? Right know, i told my friend that his calendar is probably gone for good, and the he can add any missing contacts by sending the contact via Email from his old phone and then import the vcf file on his new phone (but as he has several hundred entries, this would be a very cumbersome approach).

  • How to transfer music from iPhone to new iMac

    My wife just got an iMac. She has had an iPhone for about a year or so. She wants to transfer the music from her iPhone to the iMac so she can then do new downloads on the iMac and keep it and the iPhone in sync. Photos transferred without problem. Apple says the music cannot be transferred. Any suggestions?

    The iphone syncs one way for music, it is not a storage device.
    The itunes purchased music can be transferred by File>Transfer purchases in itunes.
    The iphone can sync with one itunes library at a time. You need to transfer you old itunes library - from the old computer, to the new imac, then sync.

  • Why cant i sync contacts/calendar from iphone to itunes

    Hi
    I have just ordered a new iPhone 6 plus and awaiting its arrival. I currently have an iPhone 4 which I inherited from my dad, so it was still listed as his phone when I plugged into iTunes, but my outlook email address is listed as the current active email account on the phone. Problem is, when I try to sync my mail, contacts and calendars to iTunes (when signed in with the apple id that matches my outlook email address) so as to back up the device ready for transfer to my new iPhone, I am unable to, it only backs up the apps on the phone. When I click on the phone in iTunes and select the info section, it says that I can only sync 'windows contacts' (there is no other option in the drop down menu) and underneath that I cannot sync calendars because outlook must be installed, and further below under the 'sync mail accounts' section there is no accounts listed. So I suppose I have a number of questions which don't seem to be specifically answered anywhere, or I cant find them-
    1. Is the issue because the IPhone I am trying to sync was not the original one that I had synced on iTunes to my apple id, or because my dads iPhone was registered to another email account? Do I then need to ensure that the phone is mapped only to my iTunes account?
    2. Or, Is the issue because I don't have Microsoft outlook installed on the PC hard drive? I am using windows 8 and login to the PC using my email account and can access outlook using the mail app.
    3. Or. is the issue related to another article I have found about Apple and Microsoft refusing to fix an underlying issue to allow this?
    4. If I were able to do what I am trying to do, would my entire contacts library stored on the phone be transferred to iTunes as back up for transfer to the new phone, or would it just be my outlook contacts? (I would hope the entire contact list stored in the phone)
    Appreciate any help, what I am trying to do should be quite simple but after a few hours trying and searching I fear it may be easier to just copy everything over manually which doesn't sound right!!

    You should be able to do this just as you did in iPhone. You can use OS X's mail application. Go to Preferences menu and you'll see an Accounts tab. Go from there.
    This looks like a Mac question, though.

  • How come calendars and contacts vanish from iPhone after upgrade to iTunes 6.1.2?

    How come calandras and contacts vanish from iPhone after upgrade to iTunes 6.1.2?

    Hi, Did you work out a fix for this?  All my calender dates (past & future) and the last 12 months of new contacts gone!!!!   And yes i too back up regularly. 
    Previously when the great 5 upgrade happened, i did loss everything, and although I was doing backups none of that info was relative in an English way. A whole life of important, unreplaceable information gone!  Never to be found.
    All of my products are apple, but it seems that little people dont matter to them, with no recourse for the damage to my personal or professional life.
    Extremly disappointed again!

  • Getting contacts from iphone onto new macbook

    I am having a problem getting all my contacts from my iphone to my new computer. I lost my last computer. I do have mobileme and have synced all my contacts from my phone to mobileme. In setting up my new computer, i went into system preferences to mobileme and put a check in the box next to contacts to sync the new computer with mobileme. it asked if i wanted to merge info on this computer or replace info on this computer with info from mobileme. i selected "replace info on this computer with mobileme info". it then said that i need to update contacts on Mobileme. It gave me the option to "fix later" or "replace". I selected fix later. My contacts from my iphone/mobileme were not showing up in my address book. i plugged in my iphone and selected to sync contacts. Still nothing in my address book. i then went back to sys prefs, and, bad move, i selected "replace" when it told me i needed to update mobileme contacts. IT WIPED ALL MY CONTACTS AWAY. i was thinking it would then ask me to replace from where, like from iphone or old computer. But no, it just wiped them all away. Why is it so difficult to get contacts and info from iphone onto new computer? And more importantly, is there a way of getting mobileme to revert back to the place it was before i wiped out all the contacts? I need to get my contacts back. All i was trying to do was get my contacts from my iphone onto a new computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

    Thanks for all the support with this. Now i know where to go for help.

  • How do you transfer contacts  from iphone to new ipad?

    how do you transfer contacts  from iphone to new ipad?

    "Paired"?  I think you are saying you were trying to use Bluetooth to do this transfer.  That will not work.
    Instead, try one of these two methods:
    1.  Use iCloud to contain the contacts.  Then set both the iPad and iPhone up to reference the iCloud contacts.
    2.  Sync the iPhone using iTunes on your computer.  Then sync the iPad using the same iTunes.
    (This may or may not work depending on what you use to house the contacts.)

  • How to download all data (music.contacts,apps) from iPhone to a new PC ?

    How to download all data (music.contacts,apps) from iPhone to a new PC ?
    I mean to say that I downloaded mp3 songs from websites (not from iTunes) which I synced in my iPhone 4 using ''Manaually Manage Music''.
    Now I am in my homecountry for vacations and don't have the laptop in which my iTune library is synced and I need to add more songs to my iPhone but when I put more songs to my iPhone it tells me that all current data from iPhone will be deleted.
    Please help!

    The iphone is not a backup device.  The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases.
    " I need to add more songs to my iPhone but when I put more songs to my iPhone it tells me that all current data from iPhone will be deleted."
    That is correct.

    how to transfer music from iphone to new computer

    iTunes will transfer your purchases from your iPhone to your new computer by using File>Transfer Purchases. For the rest of the content that’s on your iPhone use a program called TouchCopy which works on Windows and the Mac. It transferred my music, photos, contacts and SMS to my new computer very well.

  • How to transfer contact details from iphone 5c to iphone 6

    How and different easy way to transfer contact details from iphone 5c to iphone 6.

    Greetings bhabaniprasad,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you would like to transfer your contact information from your iPhone 5c to your iPhone 6. There are a few different ways to accomplish this. 
    First, if you are using iCloud on your iPhone 5c and Contacts are turned on, you simply need to sign in to that same iCloud account on your iPhone 6 and turn Contacts on. 
    Get help using iCloud Contacts - Apple Support
    If you do not use iCloud, you can backup your iPhone 5c to iTunes and then restore your iPhone 6 from that backup. 
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
    Cheers,
    Joe
