  • How can I sync my contacts from my macbook address book to my iphone

    i have my contacts in my macbook (address book) and now i need that on my IPhone. can any one help

    on your Mac, go to System Preferences > iCloud
    Check you have the "contacts" box activated
    on your iPhone, go to Settings > iCloud
    Check if you have the same Apple ID you use on Mac (if not, please enter the same ID)
      After that, activate the "contacts" on your iPhone too.
    it is supposed to work

    You are syncing contacts or trying to sync contacts how - direct with a supported address book app on your computer via the iTunes sync process, which is selected under the Info tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?

  • How can I transfer the contacts from my ipad to my itouch ?

    How can I transfer the contacts from my ipad to my itouch?

    Precisely what adami said. Hook up your ipad to your computer. Under 'info' choose to sync contacts. That will put them on your computer. Then plug in your Touch and choose the same, to sync contacts with the computer, and they'll transfer.
    Alternatively you can go into each contact and choose to 'share' it and mail it to an account that you can access on your Touch, then open it and save it. Upside, no computer needed, downside, it's a bit tedious.
    Theoretically you can also use iCloud, however the cloud ate my contacts so I'm not syncing via the cloud for that anymore. Your experience might be different, but I personally would avoid the cloud unless you've got them all backed up somewhere in case the cloud eats yours too.

  • HT4994 How can I transfer the contacts I have stored on my iPhone to either my computer or to my SIM card?

    I have been having issues with Siri taking over my phone and locking me out of accessing it. Temporarily I have fixed it by syncing it with iTunes, but I need to transfer the contacts I have store on the iPhone to either the SIM card installed or my laptop. I cannot find out how to do either, only imformation on how to import contacts onto the phone...
    Please help, my head is already done in enough by feeling like Siri is trying to take over my life.... why do I feel like I am in iRobot!>!>!>!?!?!?!?

    What do you mean by "Siri taking over my phone and locking me out of accessing it"?  Are you sure you don't have VoiceOver turned on?  With VoiceOver on a voice speaks the names of items that you touch on the screen, and you have to use different gestures to get around.  This may make it feel like you're "locked out" of your phone.
    To turn VoiceOver off you have to go to Settings>General>Accessibility>VoiceOver>Off.  With VoiceOver on you have to flick the screen with three fingers to scroll, and to activate an item on the screen you have to tap an item once to select it, then double-tap it to activate it.  You can also turn it off by connecting your phone to iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings, Click Configure Universal Access (under Options), then under Seeing select Neither.

  • How can I move the contacts from my Samsung flip phone to my iphone 5S?

    I have a new iphone 5S to replace my iphone 4.  Due to a long story I can't back up my contacts from icloud or iTunes.  Is there a way that I can back up the contacts on my Samsung flip phone to the 5S?

    See if your carrier can do it for you. They often have machines (one of the brand names is Cellbrite) that you can hook the phones to and it will copy contacts from one to another.

  • Can I upload one contact from my iMac address book to my iphone from iCloud?

    Can I upload one(1) contact from my iMac address book using icloud to my iphone without having to upload the whole address book??

    No, it would upload (sync) your entire address book.  If you want to get a single contact to your phone from Address Book you can select it, then go to File>Export>Export vCard and save it to your desktop.  Then email the saved vCard (.vcf file) to yourself, open the email on your phone and tap the attachment to import the contact to your phone.

  • How can i add a contact to a global address book in exchange 2013 or other global list?

    I would like all users in Exchange 2013/Outlook 2013 to use the same addressbook. It must be possible for all users to add or edit extra contacts. I cannot find anywhere how to do this. Sharing an addressbook is not an option but a workaround. Can anyone
    tell me how to solve this problem? I created a Global Addesslist named ROLODEX with the Exchange 2013 ECP. This shows up under Outlook 2013, but i cannot add contacts (or even better copy them from my own addresslist). Does anyone have any ideas? Maybe a YouTube
    link?

    These suggestions do not work for you either:

  • How can I transfer my contacts, calander, to do list, notes from my Blackberry to the Macbook Pro?

    Hi
    How can I transfer my contacts, calander, to do list, notes from my Blackberry to the Macbook Pro?

    i haven't tried anything yet. Before i downloaded the 5.0 upgrade for my IPAD, i was able to sync my IPAD with my work PC, which has everything in MS Outlook. but I can't sync my IPAD, its been a hassle since this up grade, all my apps we deleted i had reload of them. It's been a pain so I thought maybe if I could sync my blackberry with Mac then I could sync IPAD. MY goal is to have my IPAD fully functional for business.
