How can I sync my mac's contacts to my iphone over the air with mobile?
I add about one or two contacts a day on my mac and want it to automatically upload to my iphone. I have my mac's mobile me to sync atomically. I don't get the push, fetch, manually thing. I don't want my phone to drain battery power to push my emails to my phone. I can do this manually. But, when I enter a contact on my mac, i want it to immediately go to my iphone. Also, when I enter a contract to my iphone, i would like it to co to mobile me, so when I look on the mac the contract is there. I have tried keeping push on and setting contacts to manually. This hasn't worked. i have tried having push on and having contracts manually selected as well as push selected in advance and NADA. No contracts are sync from the mac to iphone.
any suggestions?
Hi Joseph. Try opening systems preferences on the Mac and go to mobileme. Just make sure under sync, that contacts are selected. Hope this helps.

my iphone4s died, mom gave me her old 3gs, i had to get a new sim to fit the 3gs, how can I sync all my old contacts? I have a macbook pro, tech told me that it would sync from my icloud but it has not. Thanks!
Syncing the 3GS is exactly the same as syncing the 4S - so just do the same as you've been doing.

How can I delete all of my contacts from my iphone? I have updated my contact list in Outlook, and need to re-import that "clean" list.

You can transfer iTunes purchases by:

Most other stuff by the third-party programs discussed here:

You need a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, an external optical drive such as Apple's SuperDrive, and the 10.6.8 combo updater. You don't need to buy Mac OS X 10.7 or 10.8.

Hey everyone,
iPhone n00b here. Does anyone know if it is possible to sync the iphone over the air either via 802.11 or Bluetooth?
I don't want to have to plug it into my laptop every night.
CheersWhat are you trying to sync? And where does that content reside.
If you are sycning email, contacts, and calendars, then you can sync with Mobile Me "over the air."
If you want to sync music, podcasts or otner content stored in iTunes, then your computer that hosts iTunes must be turned on. WFI can be uused to connect but the compute must be running. -
How can I sync my yahoo mail contact list with my ipad2?
How can I sync my yahoo contact list with my iPad 2?
Found the answer from another discussion here and it did work in about 2 minutes:
in settings, click mail, contacts , calendars
you need to add two accounts:
one for mail as a Yahoo account
another per the instructions below
Yahoo syncs contacts by adding a CardDAV account:
Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars
Tap Add Account
Tap Other and then tap Add CardDAV Account
For the Server you need to enter carddav.address.yahoo.com
Now type in the Yahoo! ID (full email address) and password you use to sign in to your Yahoo! Contacts
why not all in one? who knows!
Ps. You might have to do several tries with and without the .xxx extesion to the account name
Yahoo has multiples with att and all othr isp's -
Can I manually sync new contacts & calendar items: laptop - over the air?
Sometimes I enter a new contact or calendar item on my laptop and dash out the door hoping it shows up on my phone. Often it's not there. Is there a way to manually push an over-the-air sync between my laptop and iPhone?
Apple recently updated the sync time interval between the Address Book and iCal on your Mac and the MM cloud to be faster than every 15 minutes.
After entering a new contact and/or calendar event in the Address Book and iCal on your Mac, you can select Sync Now.
Go to System Preferences > MobileMe.
Under the Sync tab for your MM sync preferences, select show status in menu bar.
After entering a new contact or calendar event, if you don't want to wait select Sync Now from the sync status in the menu bar. This will manually sync the Address Book and iCal on your Mac with your MM online address book and calendars, which should push the change to your iPhone's address book and calendar.
