Contacts from iPhone to iMac

I just bought a new iMac yesterday and I already have an iPhone 4S, when I got it home I installed the new Mavericks OS and it asked me to update iTunes which I did. I wanted to sync my phone contacts to my new iMac so that I can Facetime peoplefrom home but I do not know how to do this...? I've looked around on forums and they all say I need to click the Info tab on iTunes but the new iTunes does not seem to have this... I also found some people saying to do it through iCloud, but I don't know how to upload my contacts to iCloud...?
Note: I do have my contacts turned on in my iCloud setting on my iPhone 4S.

iCloud enabled on both devices.
iPhone 4: Logged into iCloud, and Contacts selected in iCloud preferences.
iMac: Logged into iCloud, and within iCloud Preferences, Contacts checked.
Works perfectly for me.

    Trying to moving all my contact info from iphone to imac address book. i select sync contacts on the info tab of itunes but it only moves over a handfull of my contacts - not all of them. anyone know why and how to fix?

    The CardMunch app is optimized for iOS devices such as your iPhone and iPad, not Mac OS X.
    Two different operating systems.
    If you want to sync Contacts to both the iPhone and iPad and your Mac, use iCloud.

  • I cannot sync contacts from Iphone to Imac

    I am syncing my Iphone 4s to my new Imac and my contacts arent showing up anywhere? What am I doing wrong?

    Have you chosen to sync Contacts in iTunes?  If your contacts are not showing up in the Address Book on whatever Mac you're using, the obvious thing to check is the sync in iTunes.  Be careful to make sure that you sync from the phone to the computer and not vice versa.
    Just to be safe you might backup the phone to iCloud first so that your contacts will be in the iCloud.  Use this for instructions:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859

  • Transfer calendar and contacts from iPhone to iMac and Mobileme

    Hello
    I know this question is touched upon regularly, but I am overwhelmed by the richness of the information!
    The address book and calendar on my iPhone are complete and up to date. I want to transfer them to my new iMac and and to my MobileMe account, replacing (or adding to) the incomplete subsets on these. Can some kind person explain in noddy terms what I do? I am confused whether my starting point should be iTunes, settings on the iPhone or preferences on MobileMe.
    Once all three places have the same information, I hope to keep the three in sync - if I can work out how.
    thanks in advance

    Hi
    After much struggling the problem has been solved. Although the solution did not come from this list, I thought I would tell you what I did, in case it helps someone else in the same situation.
    I think the two things which helped were:
    - deleting all entries from the Mac and MobileMe
    - creating a new MobileMe account on the iPhone settings (it was exactly the same as the old one, but, who knows...)

  • Syncing contacts from iPhone back to iMac (Entourage)

    Briefly, after both my Time Machine and hard drive failed, I lost all my data. My Entourage contacts re-main on my iPhone, and I want to sync them back to Entourage. I understand the process of "merging,"but I have run into a few obstacles: I am using the latest version of iTunes (7.6.2), by the way. First, under Preferences, I have no options available under "Syncing." Then, when I connect my iPhone, and select "Info," I have no options here, either. I do have a number of contacts in Entourage in my iMac, but, apparently, iTunes no longer recognizes the existence of this program, so I can go no-
    where. (My Entourage Contacts have been duplicated in my Address Book, but that doesn't show up, either. Something must be terribly corrupted.) I'm both frustrated and perplexed, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance. pah

    Something to check when syncing contacts from iphone back to computer, make sure to open address book and enter at least one contact.
    Then when you connect the iphone, you should get a message asking if you want to merge the data.
    Click merge and this should copy all contacts from the iphone back into address book.
    the same goes with ical also.
    Make sure there is at least one event in ical.
    Now to move the data in address book and ical to entourage is set in the entourage preferences in the sync services section.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT1414 If ive synced everything from iphone to iMac where do i find it now on the imac

    If ive synced everything from iphone to iMac where do i find it now on the imac

    Define "everything"...
    Contacts will be in whatever Contacts on your Mac assuming you actually selected that in iTunes. Calendar items in iCal. Reminders/Notes depend on what version of OS X you're running...

  • Export contacts from iPhone to iCloud

    I am going to export contacts from iPhone 5 to icloud, then sync to new iMac.

  • Inputting contacts from iphone

    Looking for some experience in this area:
    I input contacts from iphone, and when I sync, it just goes in the main library of my contacts on my imac. Is there a way to enter the contact from iphone into a specific group before syncing? I have several different groups, and when entering them in iphone it would be nice to not have to later from the imac, find that contact, and drag it to the correct group.

    The Apple Address Book database is similar to the iTunes database and iPhoto database in this regard.
    You cannot place a contact in an Address Book Group without the contact being in the primary Address Book database or "All" Group first. The same with iTunes Playlists and iPhoto Albums.
    This is why when importing contacts into the Address Book, all imports go to the primary Address Book "All" Group only. There is not an option to import contacts into an existing Group.
    Seems like with Mac and iPhone integration and sync function, there should be a way to make this work when entering contacts on the iPhone.

  • HT4528 I have 3 iPhones, one Ipad, and two PC's that I have tried to "connect" using one iTunes account and am having issues.I connected iPhone #3 to one PC, it removed all contacts from iPhone #3, replaced w/ contacts from iPhone #2. How can I get back?

    I have 3 iPhones, one iPad and 2 PC's, all using the same iTunes account.  I want to be able to have each iPhone keep their own list of accounts and music list and the I pad different as well.  I want to 2 PC's music list to match.  How do I do this?
    Additionally, when I connected iPhone #3 to one PC, it removed the contacts from #3 and replaced it with contacts from iPhone #2.  How do I get those contacts back and prevent this from happening again?

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

    My iPhone is stolen. How can I get my address book back from the iCloud? I should have synchronized my iPad address book. However, I loss some recent contacts from iPhone.

    I use my iPad to get the address book backed up by iCloud from my iPhone. However, I cannot see the recent new contacts from my iPad. Is there anyway to check the iCloud server to see if my address book backup from my iPhone is still there?

  • Can't synch Notes or Contacts from iPhone 3GS after upgrade to iOS5

    After I upgraded to iOS5 on my iPhone 3GS, I no longer can synch Notes and Contacts from iPhone to Outlook or iCloud. Calendar synchs OK.

    After 2 hours with Apple Support, which was great, we figured out the issue. 1-800-my-iphone. When I upgraded to iOS5 and started using the iCloud, I was unaware that my previous synching settings were still set to Yahoo.com where I had been sycning wirelessly in the past. So the Apple support tech showed me that I had multiple accounts in both Notes and Contacts. I had iPhone, iCloud, yahoo, Outlook accounts and my default settings on the iphone should have all been set to icloud. Syching was occuring, but not in icloud. It took a little manual conversion of some Notes and Contacts into the icloud folders in Outlook, but now everything works and I only display and use the iCloud accounts in Notes and Contacts. Apple realizes that this is an issue for those of us that were previously using Yahoo and equivalents for wireless synching and they provded my support free. Usually they charge $27. All is well.

  • 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.
