How can i sync my iphone contacts to my mac

i just got a new phone and my previous phone is an iphone how can i sync my contacts onto my mac so i can transfer all my contacts ??

Make sure Address Book has at least one unique entry, that way when you select sync contacts under the Info pane & select sync all contacts, you'll get a merge or replace prompt regarding your contacts. Select MERGE.

  • How can I sync my iPhone contacts to my Mac and vice-versa, without losing them? Can i do it with iCloud?

    I always add new phone numbers on my iPhone Contacts, while new email addresses are always added on my Mac Contacts. The result is that I dont have my recent email contacts on my phone, while on the Mac I dont have the recent phones.
    I would like to have ONE common list of contacts (same for iPhone & Mac) which will be AUTOMATICALLY updated for both, once I add a new entry.
    I am not sure how to do this with syncing, I am afraid I wll lose my old contacts. Can I do this with iCloud?

    Hello there, Seta.
    You are correct that this can be done with iCloud. The following Knowledge Base article provides some great instruction for syncing contacts:
    iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1296
    Particularly:
    Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, and Notes
    You can sync contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes with other applications on your computer. This allows you to keep all your information in sync across multiple computers and iOS devices. The settings for these items are all in the Info tab for your iOS device in iTunes. With your iOS device connected to the computer, select your iOS device. Then click the Info tab.
    For details on syncing content on your iOS device with your computer, click the sections below.
    Contacts
    To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Contacts" in OS X v10.8, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" in OS X v10.7 and earlier.
    You can sync your contacts with:
    Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8)
    Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
    Windows Contacts (Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8)
    Address Book (Mac OS X v10.7 and earlier)
    Contacts (Mac OS X v10.8)
    Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
    Notes:
    When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
    You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
    Additional options for syncing include syncing your contacts with Yahoo or Gmail/Google Mail. You will need to configure it with the user name and password for your Yahoo or Google account.

    My wife and I share the same macbook but each have an iPhone 4s we would like to back up and sync. Are we able to back up both phones onto the same macbook and then download all the content (especially contacts) onto our new iPhone 5s? If so, please advise on how to do so.
    Thanks!

    Hey,
    1) Music Brought on the iPhone will be synced across to your Computers iTunes,
    2) You can sync two iPhones to a single iTunes, when you plug your mums old one in just click this is a new iphone on the new iphone wizard which will happen when you plug the device in for the first time, then click sync all your libary will be synced across to the phone.
    Do 1 first if you want all the content you brought on the new iPhone to go accross on the old one (if it has enough space)

  • ITunes for Mac don't recognize my Apps (copied since PC). How can I sync my iPhone with my new mac?

    Hi,
    i'm new with Mac, and i Have a doubt..
    I read that to transfer itunes information (apps mainly) since PC to MAc, you just had to copy the itunes folder and paste it in Mac (Music)..
    wel.. i did that, but then when I opened iTunes in Mac, it didn't recognize any application.. and I don't know why...
    searching and exploring, I realized something...
    the folder where my apps were in PC was Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile applications..
    and, searching on internet, i look that all the people said that in Mac, the folder is Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications..
    could be this the problem that i Have????
    if I change all my apps from one side to another, could itunes recognize it??
    thank you very much for your help.

    The Apple store will move your content from your old computer to your new one.
    You can call Apple Support and they will walk you through it.
    You can type " move itunes library from pc to mac" into the google search bar.

    HOW CAN I SYNC ALL MY CONTACTS FROM MY IPHONE TO ICLOUD?

    Go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account if you haven't already done so, turn Contacts on and choose Merge with iCloud when prompted.  If you are syncing contacts from an external account (Gmail, Yahoo, exchange, etc.) you will need to take additional steps to add them.  Let me know if that's the case.
