How do I sync individual contacts with Facebook?

On iOs6, on the iPhone 5, how does one sync individual contacts with Facebook? I don't wish to use the sync all contacts feature, as it adds thousands of Facebook friends to my contact list. I simply wish to connect the contacts already in my address book.

I realize this is really old, but on the off chance of you never having found a way, I figured I'd pop in with something actually useful unlike this Raz fella.
I couldn't figure out a way to do it without connecting to facebook at all, but here is what I did:
1. Connect to facebook.
2. Update contacts.
3. Click groups and uncheck facebook contacts.
Now contacts which are only on the phone because of facebook will not show up, and yet the others will have been connected.
If a specific person does not connect properly to facebook, add their FACEBOOK EMAIL (found in their about section) to the email section of contacts and again go to the facebook settings and click update contacts. This should connect that person.

  • How can I sync *CURRENT* contacts with Facebook?

    I searched the discussions and found numerous questions asking how to sync Facebook's contacts with Address Book but those results just put all of Facebook's contacts in your Address Book.  I would like to sync the my current addressbook with Facebook and import user pictures, email addresses, etc.
    I'm an iPhone user all of 24 hours but this is done pretty seemlessly on Android phones.
    Is there a way of selecting just current contacts to be synced with Facebook?
    I'm using an iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.3
    Thank you.

    I have found that syncing my contacts then un-syncing them results in my current contacts retaining all the info and picture from Facebook.  I just don't have the Facebook updates, which I'm happier about anyway.

    Then something is setup incorrectly, which version of OSX are you on, and is this an iCloud mail address (@mac, @me or @icloud)
    From your description of the issue I suspect that it is Outlook that is incorrectly setup.

  • How can you sync individual contacts to your facebook that haven't already synced up?

    I have synced my iPhone with my facebook contacts, but there are some that haven't synced up.  How do I do this?

    I had this problem as well and after several weeks of research I found something that worked for me. I went into contacts clicked on groups and determined which email I had synced with contacts. I had 2 however I was only showing my Gmail account in my contact list. I went to my Gmail account and entered an individuals name, phone number and email address into my contact list in Gmail. Then went into settings, Facebook and update all contacts. it updated that one contact with all the information that is shared with me on Facebook, including the profile picture. I found an even easier way to accomplish this if you're using a Yahoo account because at this time Yahoo has a sync option that it seems that Gmail's latest version currently does not. Go to your Yahoo account, contacts and import all contacts from Facebook. Once that is done go back to settings, Facebook and update all contacts. Voila all you Facebook information in now in your iPhone contact list. Note: You  may end up with some duplicated in your contact list. Simply link the contacts together and all of that individuals information is stored in one contact in your phone. Hope this helps and Happy clicking! lol

  • How do I sync Google Contacts with my Mac Address Book?

    Greetings all,
    I use Google Contacts to store and manage all of my contacts; this way they are always the same on my iPhone and iPad.  I would like to have them synchronized with my Address Book on my MacBook Pro.  Is there any way to do this?
    I did setup the Goggle sync in the Address Book preferences, however nothing happened.  Meaning, no sync occurred...
    Thank you,
    Bob Mixon

  • How do I sync iPhone contacts with osx 10.9.4 contacts?

    I have an iPhone running iOS 7.1.2.
    It has 143 contacts in it.
    I have a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.9.4 with 'Contacts' 8.0. 
    It shows the same 33 contacts I entered when I got my iPhone in 2012.
    I have been trying to update, i.e., SYNC,  the contacts in my MacBook Pro's Contacts 8.0 using a USB cable without any luck. I'm not a big fan of iCloud.
    I have SYNC CONTACTS checked in iTunes 11.2.2  INFO with my iPhone connected via USB.
    Since the MacBook Pro's Contact 8.0 is where my contacts SHOULD be saved and THE most BASIC way to save the contacts, I'm amazed at how convoluted and difficult it is to sync my iPhone's contacts with Contacts 8.0 on my MacBook Pro.
    What am I missing?

    Hello AuCountry,
    Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities.
    You don't say what you have tried and what you see when you do try to sync, but this article is the place to start to sync your iPhone.

  • How do I sync my contacts with exchange server?

    I have a mac and an ipad and an iphone and my office is all microsoft and pc's.  We are running outlook and exchange server.  My email works fine.  My calendar works "just ok" as it is quirky.  The BIG problem is syncing my contacts on all three devices with my company's contact list which lives on the exchange server.  What is the deal with this?  Is there a work-around?

    Let me fill in some blanks.  I have a powerbook running Lion and using mail, addressbook and ical.  My office is all on pc's and outlook and connected up on our network with exchange server.  So here is the issue:
    a.     It first surfaced when we got iphones.  Apple connects to exchange server's email and calendar relatively well but we have a COMPANY contact list that works great on exchange and outlook on everybody's PC's but DOES NOT work with the iphone unless you buy a third-party app that costs like $300.
    b.     THEN, I decided to get a mac and I have the same problem with the native apple applications (mail, addressbook and ical).  Everything works EXCEPT addressbook.  Basically, I have to create a fully redundant addressbook that will not talk to the exchange server company contact list.
    So my question is really this:  I don't want to have a separate contact list for my company contacts that does not sync with the mother ship.  I don't like not having all my contacts on all my devices.  It seems that there is a problem between the global contact list in exchange and my addressbook contacts on my apple devices.
    Does anybody know about this issue and does anybody know how to solve?

  • How do i sync my contacts with gmail without using cloud?

    I want to sync my contacts to Gmail, but iTunes tells me that I'm already syncing via the cloud, which is impossible because my Gmail account says I have alot more contacts than my phone does. So my question is, how do i sync manually without creating duplicates. Thanks

    Im sorry, I left out one important detail:
    I went through that a long time ago. My phone has actually synced with google before, it just refuses to do it automatically. So what I was trying to ask: is there a way to manually sync my contact to google..There are two things i suspect might be causing the problem but I dont know how to correct these issues:
    1) I have multiple Gmail accounts linked to my phone so maybe there is a priority issue.
    2) The cloud is taking priority over gmail, because when i check my iCloud it has all my contacts there.
    So, if i just needed a backup somewhere of my contacts in case i lost/replaced my iPhone then the cloud would be just fine. However, I need them backed up in google because Im switching to a Windows phone, and google seems to be the best contact backup to use across multiple branded devices. Everyone loves Google.
    An update to my situation:
    Windows app store had an app that uses bluetooth to retrieve all my contacts from my iPhone. It worked wonderfully. So any insight from here on out will only benefit others with this problem that happen to read this discussion, because my issue has been resolved. Thanks for your intended help nonetheless.

  • How do I sync phone contacts with (into) gmail contacts?

    I'm using 3 different GMAIL accounts via my phone. Each GMAIL account (accessed via the web) has their own contact list. There are also some (many!) contacts that can only be accessed via my phone - that is, the information does not show up via web access in any of the three GMAIL accounts.
    Is there a way to sync / export all phone contacts in to one particular GMAIL account?
    I've tried Verizon Backup Assistant, but this did not fix the problem. I think all it did was back up (to backup assistant) about ~650 of my ~1700 contacts.
    Many thanks!
    Melissa

    certainly, export each contact list, #1, #2, #3, then import all 3 into the one email account you select & only have that gmail account doing the sync.
    ba is limited to 1000 & only does phone numbers, email must be added manually.
    fwiw:
    i use both with ba as the primary but anything i enter into gmail contacts, on the pc, is on the phone immediately because i only sync contacts & calendar, gmail isn't my primary email.

  • Sync Gmail contacts with Facebook

    All of my contacts are on my Gmail account and are synced to my iPhone and I've also synced Facebook to contacts. If I open any contact now they have a 'Facebook line' so it's clear that the sync has worked, but only a few contacts have also synced the Facebook profile picture! As it's linked ALL of my contacts to the relevant Facebook profile, why aren't they all now displaying the profile pictures?

    I believe it will auto link if the name is identical (first and last)

  • Please Help! How do you sync sub contacts with windows mobile

    I have a Treo 700wx (windows Mobile 5.0) that will not sync my sub contacts from outlook (windows XP Pro)!  I have been able to sync all other email and the parent contacts file but can not find the sub contacts.  I am in sales and have used sub cntacts to organize sellers, buyers, others and really need this to be on my phone.  Can anyone help me with this?  Thank you!
    Post relates to: Treo 700wx (Alltel)

    i will just assume that what you mean about the sub contacts are the sub-folders in your outlook.
    im sorry to tell you that subfolder synchronization is not supported by the activesync of windows mobile.
    you need to install a third party application to have it sync to your phone.
    the application that's being used some is the pocketmirror for windows mobile.
    it can sync public folders, subfolders and business contacts folders.

  • How do I sync iphone contacts with icloud AND gmail on PC without Outlook

    I own an iphone and ipad and use a PC.  I will eventually change the PC to a Mac but until then I would like to know that any new or edited contacts (on my iphone) are being backed up somwhere.  I  am using the icloud but my PC tells me I need Outlook.  I don't want to buy Outlook (knowing that I will eventually move to MAC).
    I paid extra storage for icloud thinking it was backing my photographs and contacts up but this isn't happening.   
    I currently have two copies of all my contacts (over 1000 of them) on my iphone and ipad and nothing showing on my PC.   My google account (which I like to think of as my 'main' place to store contacts) isn't being updated with changes on my iphone

  • How can I sync the contacts in my phone with those on my MacBook Pro? I already have an iCloud account, and everything else (calendars,music, etc.I is already synched) but the contacts won't.

    How can I sync the contacts in my phone with those on my MacBook Pro? I already have an iCloud account, and everything else (calendars,music, etc.I is already synched) but the contacts won't.

    Ok.
    Open System Preferences, Apple Logo icon in the menu bar and then System Preferences or the Sys Pref iocon in the Dock and go to the Internet Accounts area and look at your iCloud account. It should list what is and isn't synced by a checkmark next to each item.
    Also in the Contacts app click on Contacts in the menu bar and select Preferences then accounts and make sure your iCloud account is listed. You can also do that from the Internet Accounts area in System Preferences.
