How do I ONLY sync my iPhone contacts with all my Apple devices and iCloud?

The contacts on my phone are what I need and use and what I need to back up. I want these contacts on my iCloud, my Pad, and my MacBook Pro. How do I do this? I have connected my iPhone with iCloud, same with my iPad but all my contacts are messed up and out of date. So I have some contacts on my iPhone that are not in iCloud and hence not on my iPad or my MacBook. I am worried that when I get my new phone all of them will be gone as my Phone is only where everything is stored.
How do I delete my contacts that are not on my iPhone, and then update all my devices to be in line with my iPhone ONLY.
Help
... please.

You need to provide some information.
1. What model iPhone? running what iOS?
2. Are you running Leopard 10.5.8?
You can connect and sync using iTunes and back up your iPhone to your Mac. Without the above answers that's what you got.

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

    Hold down the mute button on the steering wheel until you hear,"Ready" and then say "Voice". That will bring up Siri.

    If they really meant that much to you, they would have been copied off to a computer at the earliest possible opportunity.
    I personally find it amazing that people get so upset when pictures "accidentally" get deleted and then scream about how important they are.  You wouldn't leave important paper work lying around to be lost/damaged/stolen, so why take a chance with important pictures on a device that can so easily be lost/damaged/stolen, or deleted by a child.

  • HT204053 How do I delete my existing iCloud account (on ALL my apple devices), and start over from scratch??

    How do I delete my existing iCloud account (across ALL my apple devices), and start over from scratch??
    (cant seem to get calendars to ever sync right, on my devices, and across to my wifes'....so want to start with a "clean installation")

    Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account (this disconnects the device from icloud but doesn't delete any data on icloud or on other devices).
    If you then want to sign back in using a different ID, do so on the same screen.
    I also strongly suggest that you and your wife use different icloud accounts, otherwise all your devices will have the same data on them, same emails, reminders, etc.  Most likely not what you want.

    Use the usb cable that comes with your iPhone to connect it to your Mac. Read the directions that came with the iPhone. Post in the iPhone forums where the iPhone gurus are. Google... Look to the right of your post in the "More Like This" column...

    Hello there, Darrelk.
    The following Knowledge Base article has information for syncing from your iOS devices:
    iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
    Specifically:
    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.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • I only want to sync my iphone contacts with my pc, not the other way around

    HELP!! This thing is driving me crazy! I dont want to sync everything from the pc to the iphone, just what I have on the iphone to the pc to make those contacts and calendar entries safe in case the dreaded happens.
    Is there a way to do this? I have begun my 60day free trial of MoblieMe today and cannot seem to do this at all. I have found my Windows Contacts and I think I can enter people in there, but whats the point of that if I have to do all the work? Surely the point of syncing is that it will do it for me???
    Does anyone know if it can be done from iphone to pc??
    Many thanks
    Catherine

    The sync process for contact info and calendar events is a bidirectional or true sync process. You can't transfer only contact info and calendar events available on your iPhone only to the supported application on your computer. Contact info and calendar events available in the supported address book and calendar app on your computer and contact info and calendar events available on your iPhone will be synced so the info available on both is identical.
    If you have a MM account, you need to sync the supported address book on your computer with your MM online address book first. After confirming your MM online address book matches the supported address book on your computer, follow this by enabling over the air syncing for contact info with your MM account on your iPhone. This will erase all existing contact info on your iPhone and replace it with your MM online address book info, and the same for calendar events.
    If you have contact info available on your iPhone that is not available with the supported address book on your computer, you need to sync your iPhone's address book with the supported address book on your computer via the iTunes sync process first. Follow this by syncing the supported address book on your computer with your MM online address book. After confirming the supported address book on your computer matches your MM online address book, enable over the air syncing for contact info with your MM account on your iPhone. After this, your iPhone's address book will be kept synchronized with your MM online address book which is kept synchronized with the supported address book on your computer and vice-versa.
