How do I selectively sync contacts between MacBook and iPhone?

I see several posts mentioning select groups, etc. in iTunes. But when I enter the "Info" tab in iTunes, the only option (radio button) available is "All contacts;" "Select groups" is greyed out.
Wait - my MacBook Pro's Addressbook doesn't seem to allow me to create any group to start with. Any pointers?

This is most likely an OS X Address Book question.

  • How to sync Ibooks between Macbook and iPhone?

    Hi, doesn't anyone knwos how to sync my library between Iphone and Macbook?
    Thanks
    Carlo

    I created an empty collection in iBooks on my MacBook, then synced with my iPad, and nothing seemed to happen.  I did the Home button double-click on the iPad, killed iBooks, then went back to the MacBook and synced again.  The new collection then showed up on the iPad.  Might help.
    ...and from another thread: Select a book or collection in iBooks and press the Delete key to delete it. There will be a warning/Cancel/OK dialog.

  • Sync email between macbook and iphone

    When I delete emails on my macbook and then sync my iphone, why do emails deleted on my macbook still appear on my iphone?

    Synching mail on a computer and an iPhone doesn't synch the actual mail, but rather the account settings.
    As to why you're deleting emails on your macbook and yet still seeing them on your phone is that you most likely have a POP account, and not an IMAP or Exchange.  This is a function of the type of mail account you have, not of the synching between the phone and computer.

  • How do I turn off imessage between macbook and iPhone?

    I just recently got a MacBook air for Christmas I set it all up and am now noticing that all my messages from my iphone are syncing to my MacBook, (iMessage). I use the same apple Id for my iphone as I do for my macbook (because I don't like having tons of usernames or emails), I just don't want my imessages going to my computer when I am not on my computer, or when someone else is using my computer.

    I didn't want to remove my whole apple Id because then I would have to make a new apple ID.  but I figured it out from what you suggested only I went to messages > preferences > accounts and unclicked my phone number where it suggested I could be reached at. Thank you!
    Nevermind I thought it worked I guess I will just have to log out of my computer every time I leave it or let someone use it

  • How to sync Contacts between rMBP and iPhone 5s.

    The Contacts on my iPhone 5s appear to be an older version than that on my MacBook Pro Retna.  How do I get them to sync?

    I am a new user when it comes to Apple so I have to say I am not sure.  I thought I had eveything setup for Contacts on the Cloud, until I noticed the diffenences between the rMBP Contacts and those on the iPhone 5s.  I also connected the two devices with a cable and rid to sync with iTunes, but I still see differences.

  • How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud

    How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud?
    I bought a new iPhone and i would like to copy my Safari's bookmarks from my iMac (OS X 10.10.3) to my new iPhone (iOS 8.3).
    How to do this, without iCloud?

    You might be able to use Google Calendar to do what you want.  Set up a Google account on the web, set up the MacBook to access the Google account, including calendar, then set up the iPhone the same way.  While I'm using MAvericks, I am also using Google to manage my calendar, since I don't particularly *like* iCloud... And I came from Android to iPhone, but I haven't like iCloud since it was called MobileMe. 
    Oh, and as for sync to iTunes, can't you just use a direct conenction to the computer (either WiFi or cable) to keep the music in control?

  • I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I followed the steps given and ended up with just email addresses showing in my contacts even though I have phone numbers and snail mail in my Outlook Contacts. Using  Windows 7

    I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I used the knowldge document and set it up to transfer my Outlook contacts to the iphone using itunes.
    In contacts on the iphone I only see the email addresses.
    Yet in Outlook I have email, snail mail and phone numbers.
    I followed the knowledge document from iphone.
    I did it once, didn't work so deleted all the contacts from the phone and tried again. Same result. I have a PC using Windows 7 64 bit.

    You can't access an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac.
    You can access a MM account with Outlook on your PC at work and keep your MM email account server stored mailboxes synced between your PC at work, your iPhone, and the MM "cloud". Not sure about syncing MM contact info and calendar events with Outlook at the same time with an Exchange account.
    This will not provide for syncing your Exchange account contact info and calendar events with the Addresss Book and iCal on your Mac because the accounts are separate.
    You can access an Exchange account and a MM account at the same time with the iPhone's mail client, and sync contact info and calendar events over the air with both accounts at the same time. You can view combined contact info or separately for each account, and the same for calendar events.

  • How to stop any photo transferring between Mac and iphone

    how to stop any photo transferring between Mac and iphone ?

    This is a possibility. But please be aware using your Mac to emit a WiFi connection is a temporary solution. And it will get a short range unlike an actual WiFi Router. Also you may find it to be unstable at times. The Airport Card in your Mac was not designed to be a full time Router WiFi emitter. But more of a receiver to get the signal and use it for personal use.
    1. Unlock the network on your Mac make it an open network
    2. Go to your iPhone, Settings-Wireless-Tap on blue circle next to network name, Choose Forget network
    3. Now go back, It will rescan and find an open network, Connect, and see if Safari works
    If Safari works, Then you had a Security issue. Try using WEP 128 bit 13 character passkey or WEP 8 Character Passkey.
    Cheers and best of luck

  • How to sync contacts between iCloud and Outlook without iCloud moving the contacts

    Hi,
    When synching Contacts between Outlook and iCloud, iCloud moves away the Outlook contacts from the default directory, to a newly created data file.
    This issue already existed with MobileMe Calendar, and now seems to have been "adopted" for the Contacts as well in iCloud.
    This causes me many issues, including synching the same data with other devices and other PC's.
    Any work around?

    Apples iCloud is not working with Outlook as it is making new folders isolated from the standard folder *.pst.
    I have tested intensely and moved back to Google Sync (calendar) and iTunes (contacts, notes) as they sync properly with the standard folders in Outlook. Reminders sync still missing. Shame on Apple for delivering such a nonsens to us.

  • Notes won't sync between MacBook and iPhone/iPad

    I have my MacBook, iPhone (5S), and iPad (Air) all set up to use the same iCloud account but some of the notes won't stay in sync between the MacBook and IOS devices. Both of the IOS devices stay in sync with each other, but changes I add on the IOS devices doesn't sync to the MacBook and changes on the MacBook don't sync to the IOS devices. Any ideas? I am a new Mac user and can't figure this out. I have read many of the related forums and the answer is almost always "they won't sync if the notes aren't in the iCloud folder" but that isn't my problem. The notes are in the iCloud folder but still won't sync.
    Any ideas?!

    Back up any notes on your Mac that have not been synced to your other devices by opening each note clicking that arrow icon on the bottom right, choosing email this note, then email it to yourself.  When you're done, go to System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, uncheck Notes, restart your Mac, then go back and check Notes again.  Then add a new test note on your Mac and confim that it syncs to iCloud now.  If so, recreate any missing notes by copying and pasting the text from the emails you sent earlier into new notes created in the iCloud account.

  • Sync contacts on laptop and iPhone

    How do I sync my contacts with laptop and iPhone over iCloud? Updated contacts 24 hours ago on laptop, iPhone contacts didn't change. What do I do?

    It's either the connection from the laptop to icloud or from icloud to iphone that's the problem.  To find the answer, do the following...
    Using a computer's browser log into icloud.com and then look at the contacts page.  If the edits show up there, then the problem is from icloud to iphone.  If edits are not there, then the problem is from laptop to icloud.
    Whichever device the problem points to, verify that it is logged into the right icloud account and that Contacts is turned on.  (System preferences>icloud on mac or Settings>icloud on ios device.
