How do I sync Gmail contacts on my iPhone?

It's a good idea to backup your Mac Address Book application and iCal Calendars application from each application. This way you can go back and pull out items if you lose something. I do this everyday.

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:

All the best,

How do I sync my contacts from my iphone to microsoft outlook (laptop)

How do I sync my contacts and my calendar from my iphone to my new laptop. I used Microsoft Office. I used to be able to add items in my phone and they would automatically be added to my laptop. Thanks.

Do you still have your old phone? What kind of phone was/is the old one? If your old phone is an Android and you still have it turn it on. Hook up to WiFi, Go to your contacts and change them to google Contacts. Then go into your new phone and change it to Google Contacts as well.
Then when Google syncs all of your contacts back to your phone, kill the Verizon Cloud / Backup Assistant on your phone and back them up to the very simple and fast Google. Backup Assistant is not worth the time and effort to get things half right and is probably one of the worst apps I have ever seen.

HT201269 How can i sync my contacts from the iPhone to my mac pro?

Hi
I am trying to sync my contacts on my IPhone to the mac pro but it seems not work.
Any one faced this issue and solved, Please advice.

If you want your contacts to remain in sync across iOS devices, then you can use any Exchange-type of account. For example, once you have a "clean" set of contacts with no duplicates, you could upload that into iCloud so that any change you make from your iPad would be reflected on your iPhone. You don't have to use iCloud for e-mail since your devices can pull a contact from iCloud for use with GMail or Yahoo.
But you can also set GMail up as an Exchange account if you don't want to use iCloud. The GMail account type in iOS is not Exchange, but you can set it up that way:
http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?l=en&topic=14252&answer=138740
The benefit of doing this is (a) your Google contacts remain in sync across all your devices, and (b) your GMail will then support Push notification. Just one caveat, when you do this then the default behavior when you delete an e-mail is such that it is archived to your "All Mail" folder in GMail. The only way to change this behavior is to use your device's Safari to navigate to m.google.com/sync and change the setting on Google's server for each of your devices. This is a one-time thing, but important if you want trashed e-mails to really go to Trash.
As far as Contact Management Software options to clean things up, Google search is the only recommendation I have

How do I sync my contacts in my iPhone to my iPad?

I can't sync my contacts from my iPhone to iPad any idea how?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

Sync Gmail contacts & Calendar with iPhone?

Is it possible to sync the contacts and calendar in Gmail with iPhone?

I believe there is an option under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences to sync contact information with a Gmail online address book, and the same for a Yahoo online address book, but not for calendar events.

HOW DO I SYNC MY CONTACTS FROM MY IPHONE 4 TO MY NEW MACBOOK PRO? AFTER THE INITIAL SYNC!

I SAW SIMULAR QUESTIONS....BUT THE ANSWERS SAID TO PLACE ONE UNIQUE CONTACT THEN SYNC UP YOUR COMPUTER FOR THE FIRST TIME. WELL, I ALREADY PASSED THAT STEP. SO IS THERE A WAY TO MERGE THE CONTACTS IN RETROSPECT?

You need to be on the same apple id on both devices, and sync the contacts.
Or, save a back up on the iTunes from your iPhone 4, and then restore that back up on the iPhone 5C.

How can I sync my contacts from my iphone to my SIM??

I have iPhone 3GS and it got broken, so I wanted to have it repaired, but I can't, because I have all my contacts in my iPhone and I can't find a way to put it on my SIM. Can somebody help me ?

You cannot.
The iphone does not store to SIM at all.
The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer. You should have been syncing your contacts to your computer from the very beginning.
Your contacts should be in whatever program, on your computer, you have chosen to sync.

How do I sync calendars/contacts on two iPhones?

I've been doing a lot of googling and haven't found a good answer to this yet. My wife and I each have an iPhone and we would like to sync our calendars (via push ideally) and contacts (fetch is good enough). Is this even possible? She already has an exchange account set up for work so that also throws a wrench into things. Any suggestions? This is driving us nuts...i can't believe there isn't a simple solution to this...

Ok, because Apple's sharing features are total crap, here's how i've got it "working". I have a MobileMe Family subscription. I set up one of the accounts as a "shared account" and I shared it's contacts (Address Book > Preferences > Sharing) with the other accounts. This also allows me to add that account to the iPhone for just contact updates. Then I subscribe to a Google calendar on the Macs and iPhone.
I think Apple needs to evaluate the sharing capabilities or lack-thereof for many of their apps. Photos (iPhoto), music (iTunes), calendars (iCal), contacts (Address Book) etc should all be more agreeable. If you get a chance (and agree) complain to Apple about their sharing problems. Give them some feedback!
