How do i sync iphone contacts to mac contact book (mavericks)

i want to sync my iphone contacts/icloud contacts to mavericks contact book. can i simply turn on icloud in contact book?  i know you used to be able to do this with address book.

Oh, does it always do that ... on both the iPhone and the Mac?  I thought there might be some dependency on what account previously housed the contacts.  For example, if the contacts had previously been in an Outlook account, and you turned on iCloud, would that fact migrate the contacts?  I've never tried.

  • Since I down loaded Mavericks I can't sync calendars with iPhone. How can I sync iPhone calendar and Mac calendar

    Since I downloaded Mavericks on my Mac I can't sync calendars with iphone. How can I sync iphone calendars with Mac calendar?

    Mavericks syncs Calendar via iCloud.
    Make sure you have the same iCloud account set up on your mac and your iPhone.
    In System Preferences > iCloud, make sure the Calendars checkbox is checked.
    In System Preferences > Internet Accounts, iCloud should be an account in the box on the left, and Calendars should be checked in the box on the right. If you have other calendars, for example, from work, make sure those are enabled too.
    Check the same settings on your iPhone: in Settings > iCloud, make sure the same iCloud account info is present and that the Calendars slider is on. in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, make sure the iCloud account is present, and that the Calendars slider is on.

    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 do I sync iPhone contacts into Outlook 2011 for Mac

    Here is the quick situation. I have an iPhone 5s and all of my contacts from my previous company (personal and professional) are on there. My old exchange profile is also there and I am afraid if I delete the profile, I will lose all my contacts.  My new company added thier exchange mail but none of my contacts are showing up in Outlook. I followed all the instructions to try and synch the contacts using iTunes but none of the contacts actually show up in iTunes to synch. I even turned off "contacts" in the iCloud settings. Help.

  • How do i sync iphone with multiple macs? and few questions

    Hi
    I would appreciate if anyone would help me.
    1. I would like to know how to sync my iphone with different macs. I have a macbook 13 and a macbook 15 and would like to use BOTH to be able to transfer data without losing them. (address, apps, photos and music)
    would like to use this feature if I were to be suddenly on a trip and a friend would like to share some of his files (audio, apps, photos..etc)
    2. is it possible to use internet tethering on multiple macs or example a "spontanious" mac? (ex. if I were suddenly to use internet through usb on a friends mac while we were on a trip but it were programmed on my mac at home)
    3. my internet tethering is only working on one mac which I usually use to sync everything... i tried just using tethering through usb on the other mac wihtout any sync but somehow it didnt work... usually i just plug and play and start using firefox... by automatic detection...
    4. is there also a way to copy files from iphone onto a mac which would not be one of my libraries?
    5. why cant i use iphone like the ipod as a disk use?
    I am aware that these things are somewhat possible because i have read quiet a few artivles but they are sadly enough not so current... any help appreciated.

    #1: As has been said, you can't get around it. An iPhone cannot be synched to more than one computer for any media content (it can be for contacts and calendar information, I believe).
    #4: You can transfer items purchased from the iTunes Store to another computer but only if you disallow synchronization and authorize that computer to your iTunes Store account. There are third-party utilities that can transfer non-iTunes Store content.
    #5: there is no disk mode in an iPhone and no way to enable one, at least not in the sense of disk mode in earlier iPods. There are third-party apps that allow some file transfer to and from an iPhone.
    I can't help with tethering questions.

  • 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 iPhone contacts to Yahoo and NOT Yahoo to iPhone?

    Twice I have had to get a new iPhone for hardware issues. Each time I get a new phone I lose all of my contacts. What am I doing wrong when I sync/backup?

    If you have a good set of contacts anywhere get them backed up.  Then I would suggest getting contacts synced to computer.  Go to yahoo to look at contacts there then follow this link to sync to computer. From there you can easily sync contacts to your phone from computer.
    There seems to be a problem with yahoo contacts syncing with newer iOS.  So avoid missing contacts in the future by having copies on your computer and syncing with iCloud possibly.
    Here's a link for getting contacts from Yahoo to computer.  If your contacts are on your phone sync and back up to iCloud first.

  • How do I sync iPhone contacts to mac WITHOUT using the iCloud??

    I don't trust the Cloud. Is there any other way?

    You can't use iTunes to sync contacts and calendars in Mavericks.
    That feature is reportedly returning in OS X 10.9.3 which is not out yet.

  • How do I sync Iphone contacts without iTunes

    My mom has an iPhone 3gs and I am trying to help her with apps.
    I tried to download an app for her, but it says "This iPhone requires the iphone 3.2 update".  I tried to update the iphone on her computer, but her computer is all messed up and I can't install the latest version of itunes.  (she has windows vista, probably a bunch of spyware.  For all intents and purposes the computer isn't usable)
    So, I tried to plug her iphone into my computer and it says it cannot read the iphone and it recommended that I restore the iPhone.
    I'd like to restore the computer so she can have the ios software update, but I need to know how to backup her contacts and pictures without using iTunes.
    I have an android phone and I know I can just sync with google contacts, but she doesn't use email, let alone outlook or mobileme.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    As iTunes is still currently listed as a requirement for the iPhone as well as a computer with certain specs, there really isn't an option.  You will have to use iTunes to do any backing up of data.

  • 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

  • HT1296 i cannot sync iphone contacts to my macbook

    How do I sync iphone contacts to my macbook? i have tried the obvious: connecting the phone, going into iTunes and selecting Info and Contacts and sync and apply, but nothing happens on my Mac. Thank you for any feedback.

    Make sure you enter at least one unique contact (one that is not on your phone - make up an imaginary friend if necessary) in the Address Book on your Macbook before you sync, and choose the "merge" option when you sync. The contacts on your phone will sync to address book on your Macbook, and your imaginary friend will sync to your phone. You can delete him if you want.

    I ran into this same issue this morning and from what I read within the Apple Communities, the only way to now sync is to use iCloud. 
    I set this up afterward and it seems to work. 
    Make sure you choose your calendar's under the iCloud secition of your calandar's.

    Sync your iPad with computer iTunes.
    Note: your contacts should be in computer Outlook (Windows) or Contacts (Mac) application.
    If you have iCloud configured in iPhone, do the same for iPad.
    Setttings > iCloud >
         Account: your Apple ID

  • HT204150 im not sure why only a few of my contacts have been synced and not everyone? How do i sync all contacts from my iphone to my ipad? I have synced my phone with Itunes on my laptop.

    im not sure why only a few of my contacts have been synced and not everyone? How do i sync all contacts from my iphone to my ipad? I have synced my phone with Itunes on my laptop.

    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.

    How do i sync my contacts from my iPhone with my macbook pro for messaging purposes?

    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,
