How do I sync contacts from my iPhone to my MacBook?

I know there is a way to sync my contacts from my iPhone 6 to my Macbook (running on Yosemite)...but who can tell me how to do it?!
Right now, my MacBook has all these random contacts but I want to be able to see all my iPhone contacts on my Mac; and if I change info on one device, I want it to sync across all my devices.
I've got iCloud enabled and the contacts box check on both devices, but I don't see them merged? Any help would be appreciated!

Log in to https://icloud.com. Do you see all of your contacts there? If you have iCloud enabled on the MacBook and the iPhone they should sync in near-real time. Mine all do. However, all of the contacts on the phone must be in a contact group that is synced to iCloud. If you have contacts from before you set up iCloud they may not be in a group that syncs. You will have to get a 3rd party app that allows moving contacts between groups on the phone, as the built in app cannot do that. There are several in the app store.

  • How Can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail?

    How can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail? In other words, I want to keep all of my iPhone contact information intact and make AOL "mirror" it (and not wipe it out when I sync thru iTunes).

    The iPhone supports syncing contacts with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with Windows Contacts with Windows, and with the Address Book or with the Entourage address book on a Mac.
    If you aren't currently using one of the supported applications on your computer for contact info - the supported address book application on your computer is empty, before syncing contacts enter one contact in the supported application on your computer. Make this contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data with the supported application on your computer, which you want to select.
    After this, you can export the contacts from the supported application on your computer that is supported for import by your AOL online address book - if AOL includes such an option.

  • Question: How do I sync contacts from my iPad to my MacBook Pro running Mavericks?

    How do I sync contacts from my iPad to my MacBook Pro running Mavericks?

    Contacts sync via iCloud.
    Set up iCloud on your iPad and your MBP, with the same iCloud account on both, with the same Apple ID.
    On the Mac you set this up with System Preferences > iCloud, and have Contacts checked in the box on the right.
    It looks very much the same on the iPad, Settings > iCloud.
    If you have set this up and it's still not working, then sign out of and then back into your iCloud accounts.

  • How can I sync contacts from my iphone 3gs to a new gmail account?

    I've just set up a new gmail account and want to sync the contacts from my work phone to contacts in my gmail.  I have nearly 700 contacts to sync so I'm looking to do this in the easiest (and most reliable!) way I can - any pointers?  Or tips on how to make sure I don't lose them all in the process of syncing?!
    Cheers,
    S

    Begin by backing up your contacts as a precaution.  You can do this using the free app My Contacts Backup, which will back up your contacts as an attachment to an email.  You send the email to yourself, and can later open this email on you phone and tap the attachment to re-import your contacts if necessary.  Once you've done that, set up your gmail account as an exchange account as described here:
    http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740.  Turn on contacts syncing and when prompted select Keep on my iPhone to keep the existing contacts on your phone from being deleted (step 13).

  • How do I sync contacts from one iPhone's backup to brand new iPhone?

    Hi all,
    I recently just lost my iPhone 3G, it was stolen and I could not get it back. The only "copy" of my iPhone 3G and it's contacts are in the backup file found in my iTunes.
    fyi, My iPhone was formatted to sync with my iTunes on Mac.
    The question is: if I were to purchase a brand new iPhone, can the contacts from the backup file in iTunes be sync to the new iPhone? If it is possible, how do I do that?
    Please help!

    When you get your new phone & connect it to itunes, you will be given the option of restoring from backup or setting up as new. Select restore from backup. This must be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content. Make sure you have at least ONE entry for contacts & calendars in whatever supported application you use for that purpose on your computer. These entries can be fake, that doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs NOT BE EMPTY. When you do sync after restoring from backup, you'll get a merge or replace prompt regarding your contacts & calendar, select merge.

  • How do I sync contacts from my iphone to my pc?

    I have never synced my contacts and photos with my computer.  Now I want to get them out of my iphone and into my pc so I can then transfer them to my new ipad.  How do I do this?  It appears that iTunes only allows one-way syncing. 
    Thanks,

    Hi,  Does anyone know how to do this without the need for me to upgrade to Lion on my MAcBook Pro and use the iCloud?
    I put all my contacts into my iPhone and I'd like them now on my MAcBook Pro.
    Thanks,

    Click on your iDevice on the sidebar of iTunes and then go to the info tab at the top. check the box shown here:
    This will put the contacts from an iDevice to the computer. You can then check the same box on the (let's say iPad) that doens't have any contacts and they will go from your comp to your iPad.

    Hey dthompson2108, 
    Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities. 
    You can sync contacts between your iPhone and MacBook Pro using iCloud or iTunes.
    See this link for help with setting up iCloud on your computer and device(s):
    Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
    Instead of turning on iCloud on your iPhone and Mac, you can sync using iTunes as explained in this article:

    I just went to icloud-contacts- OFF.  It asks if I want to keep my contacts on the phone and I said yes.
    Thanks so much.  Saved me a ton of time.
    One thing I noticed though is for my name, it used to have an image of a person.  That is gone now on my phone but on my computer.  Is that only in iCloud?

    How can I transfer contacts from my iPhone to a new iPad with another Apple-ID?

    You can't. Not directly anyway. You might be able to import them to your computer and then sync them to the iPad but there is no way to transfer them over the air or by connecting the two devices with a cable.
    I know absolutely nothing about apps like this, but I did a very quick Google search and found this.
