Getting my contacts from my mac to my iphone3g

I recently broke my previous phone, and I just got an iPhone 3G as a replacement for now. I am trying to sync my contacts from my MacBook Pro onto the iPhone, but even with research and other videos I still can't get them onto the phone.
fyi - I have a 2012 MacBook Pro(not Retina), the latest iTunes, and iPhone 3G on 4.2.1

Connect and select iPhone in computer iTunes, in Info tab, select Sync Contacts (make sure you have contacts in your Mac's Contacts app.

How do I get my contacts from my mac to my phone?

My contacts recently deleted for no reason on my phone. They are on my Contacts in my laptop though. How do I sync the contacts to end up on my phone?

Set up the same iCloud account on both devices and activate Contacts (Mac: "System Preferences > iCloud" and iPhone: "Settings > iCloud"). Make sure that your contacts on your Mac are stored in iCloud and not in the local address book. If this is the case, then just copy them from the local address book to the iCloud address book.

I have installed iTunes 10.5 on my mac and iOS5 on my iphone 3GS, but can't seem to get my address book to sync to my phone thru iCloud.
I opened System Preferences on the mac as you have described above but don't see an option for "iCloud".
I've also tried to switch off the iCloud sync on the phone to revert syncing with my Mac but it appears that this doesn't work now. So I'm stuck!
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Good to know that, but what can I do to get the mail and contacts downloaded from Icloud onto my Iphone? I am told that the password needs to be reset and I have erased and reset it 3x's already? Should I Restore All Settings or Restore Network Settings or will that result in a situation where I have to have it re-unlocked again? GRACIAS!

If you have no backups, and data has been lost, then it's lost forever. The rest of your data will inevitably follow if you don't back up.

Do you have iCloud configured on the iPhone and on the MacBook Air? If not, you'll want to do that for seamless transferring of contacts between the two devices. If you have an iCloud account already, set it up on the phone first. If you do not have an iCloud account I'd recommend signing up for one on the computer first as it's easier to navigate the setup screens. Once iCloud is setup on both machines the contacts will automatically sync (faster if the iPhone is on wireless).
Regarding email, you'll need to ensure the email on the iPhone is configured for IMAP/Exchange. You'll then want to configure that same account in Apple Mail (or whatever email program you intend to use on the MacBook Air).

How can i get my contacts from textfree app if ipod wont turn on

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.

How do I get my contacts from the icloud on pc?

How do I get my contacts from the icloud on pc? I am not able to get my contact on a different phone. I can't even see my contact without iphone.
So tell me from where i'll be able to get my contact or contact backup in pc

If your contacts are in iCloud, you can view them from your PC at icloud.com. You can also download them as a vCard as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606. If your computer meets the system requirements, you can also sign into your iCloud account on your computer and sync the contacts using Outlook (PC) or Address Book/Contacts (Mac), as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/.

How do I get my contacts from my Cingular RAZR to my MacBook Pro?

I did a quick search of the forum and did not find an answer to this specific question. I just switched over to Mac after being a long time PC user. Read many of the threads dealing with pairing the RAZR via bluetooth. I had no problem pairing my phone, however, I am not able to get all the existing contacts in my phone's address book onto my computer. Rather, it only seems that I can get the contacts in my Mac's address book onto my phone.
Is there a way to get existing phone numbers on my RAZR over to the address book on my MBP? I have a ton of numbers on my phone and want to back them up on my MBP. Entering them in by hand seems to defeat the whole purpose of syncing. Thanks in advance.

Did that originally and all it did was merge the data from my computer/phone on my phone. It did not put the numbers from my phone onto my computer.

Hello Joe,
Congratulations on your new iPhone 5! If you do not have a working USB connection on your laptop, you can use iCloud to transfer contacts from your computer to your iPhone:
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.
Access iCloud Contacts from a web browser
Go to icloud.com/#contacts and sign in using your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).
You can find more information about iCloud and Contacts at the following help article:
iCloud Help - Contacts overview

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.
