How do I import iPhone contacts to my mac

Ok so I'm trying to import my I phone 5s contacts to my MAC notebook pro.  Have no luck doing this via itunes as read in previous blogs.  Thinking something is just truned off in either the mac or the phone.  Help would be great!!!!

Open the calendar and contacts on your Mac and check the left sidebar.  Want account do the calendar and contacts on your Mac belong to?  Is it On My Mac, an external account such as Gmail/Google or Yahoo, or iCloud?

    You can't. The iPhone does not store any data at all on the SIM.

  • How can I import iPhone Garageband Files to Mac Garageband?

    How can I import iPhone Garageband Files to Mac Garageband? I've found lots of threads about this but no direct answers/how to.
    Thanks

    With the latest build of GarageBand on the device, move to the My Songs view, tap the Edit button at top right, select the shaking song you want to export, then tap the sharing arrow symbol at top left, tap iTunes, then GarageBand.
    Connect the device to iTunes, select it in the left-hand column, then select the Apps tab. You should find the exported file in the File Sharing area of the GarageBand app and from there you can copy it to your computer, then open it with the GarageBand application.

  • How can I import iPhone contacts into Mac Address book

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and am in the process of trying to dump my Windows PC.
    All of my important contacts are on my iPhone. How can I get those contacts into my Mac Address Book?
    The same question goes for the music (ripped from CD) and my video files that are on my iPhone? The media is not that big of a deal because I can easily transfer it from my PC to my Mac but I assume I am not the only one in the world trying to do this and that Apple would make it very easy for MSFT Windows users to easily migrate to Macs.
    I must be an idiot but I don't see any option in iTunes to transfer the data from my iPhone into iTunes and/or the Address Book.
    Thanks

    The iPhone's primary function is NOT a word processor or a spread sheet analyzer.
    I didn't say, nor was I trying to imply ANYTHING of the sort. You should read what I provided again a little slower and in it's entirety, not taking this out of context, which you made into Apples and Oranges.
    It IS an iPod, a device designed to store and play music (in addition to being a browser and a phone).
    It is a phone, an iPod, and an internet device, which supports transferring iTunes content from iTunes on a single computer ONLY.
    Making it difficult to transfer my legal music from my iPhone to my Mac does not make me want to go out and buy more Apple products or Apple software.
    Good, then don't - no skin off my back. I couldn't care less if you want to remain a Windows sufferer. All this doesn't come from Apple. Much of it comes from those who OWN the distribution rights for content sold thru the iTunes Store.
    All of Apple's commercials imply how easy the user experience is over Windows. Well, in this case, they missed the boat BIG TIME!
    Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but let me get this straight. You will likely need to transfer much more than just music from your Windows PC to your Mac and if so, how do you plan on accomplishing this? If you are transferring Word and Excel files, photos, and any other data, you won't be using an iPhone for this, so I don't see the big deal with transferring your iTunes library along with all other data being transferred.
    I understand that the iPhone was not designed to be used as a backup. However, you allow the contacts to be merged in but not the music that I legally installed (but didn't purchase from the iTunes store).
    I don't allow anything - this is a user to user help forum only.
    As I provided in my first post in this thread - the sync process for contact information, calendar events, and bookmarks with an iPhone is bidirectional with the supported application on your computer. This is a sync process by definition of syncing - which is not the same for other data such as iTunes content and photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone.

    Apple wants to make it difficult unless I purchased the music from iTunes.
    No, Apple or really those who own the distribution rights or the copyright holders for content sold thru the iTunes Store wants to make this difficult. Content sold thru the iTunes Store is set up by Apple to be a break even - which is included with the Apple stockholder's report. Apple makes their profit via sales of the iPod and iPhone. The bulk of the iTunes Store revenue goes to those who own the distribution rights or the copyright holders for the content.
    In addition, if my hard disk suffered a crash and I lost all my music it just seems stupid not to be able to pull it off my iPhone (yes, I know data should be backed up on a different drive, and mine is, but I am sure a lot of people do not back up their data).
    Maintaining a backup of your data is important for this very reason, and for other reasons which is not Apple's responsibility. I believe iTunes includes an occasional warning message to backup your iTunes library (which can be turned off), and iTunes includes an option to transfer content purchased from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iPhone - since the overwhelming majority of this content includes DRM protection required by those who own the distribution rights or the copyright holders.
    The iPhone was not designed as an external storage device or as a backup device - end of story. If someone chooses not to maintain a backup, they are playing Russian roulette with their data. Maintaining a backup is important regardless the platform, but even more so when running Windows with constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns.

  • How do i transfer iphone contacts to my mac

    anyone done this ?

    Use your Mac Address Book and sync your iPhone with iTunes. From the Info tab, under Contacts, make sure to select “Address Book” from the drop-down menu before you sync.
    I am not sure whether it works on Mac, but you can use copytrans contacts to transfer the contacts too (in case you do not want to use iTunes sync):
    Finally, you can simply use the iCloud app and install it on your Mac. Make sure to enable iCloud contact sync on your iPhone. Then import contacts from your Mac to your iCloud application, this will move and sync the contact entries to your iPhone.

  • HT4910 how can I import my contacts from my Iphone 5 device to the Icloud?

    how can I import my contacts from my Iphone 5 device to the Icloud?

    To get the contacts from your Hotmail and exchange accounts into iCloud, do the following:
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer from your external accounts you will need the “Pro” version.)  Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), and set this to iCloud.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your Hotmail and exchange accounts and turn off contacts syncing with with these accounts.  If you don't you will see duplicates of your contacts (one from the external account and one from iCloud).
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the external accounts back to your phone, and to iCloud.  Go to icloud.com to confirm they are there.

  • How to import iPhone contacts to SIM Card?

    I am buying a new phone, and I have a lot of contacts on my SIM. I don't know how to transfer my iPhone contacts to my SIM?

    Maybe if you gave us some clue what kind of phone you're getting... If you're getting a newer iPhone, then all you have to do is back up the old one, and restore it to the new one. If you sync contacts with a cloud service that's compatible with your new phone, you can just sync them down. Virtually no modern smartphones actually store contacts on the SIM. The format for contact storage on a SIM card can only hold a fraction of the information many people keep for their contacts.

  • How can i import my contact list from the Nokia Suite to my I phone?

    how can i import my contact list from the Nokia Suite to my I phone?

    Oscar, keep in mind that my suggestion could not be the best one.
    I have a copy of Nokia suite on my Windows XP partition on my Mac, just to test it.
    The second icon on the upper row explains as a syncronisation with Outlook.
    Try to do it and later you should use the iClod manager from Apple and Sync Outlook to ìiClod and to any iPhone iPod and so on.

  • How do I manually transfer all iphone contacts to my mac

    I'm about to order a 4g and I want to transfer all the phone numbers and info to my MBP before I sell my 3GS. How do I transfer my contacts to my mac? I have never used address-book and I do not have a Mobil me account.
    I have my iTunes sync to manual as I do not like the auto sync. I do not see my contacts in iTunes so I would like to import them, edit them, and then manually transfer them to my new iphone 4G next week...

    You need to sync your iPhone contacts with the Address Book on your Mac, which is as designed and intended.
    Before the first sync for this data, enter one contact in the Address Book on your Mac. Make this contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
    Syncing contacts with the Address Book is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    The same applies before syncing calendar events with iCal if you aren't using iCal on your Mac for calendar events.
