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 4s with outlook 2013?

    Synchronization of calendars between Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 and your Apple iPhone or iPod touch requires Apple iTunes. You can configure which items are synchronized during a one-time set up process. Good luck with your Mac!
    After the initial setup, each time that you connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your computer, the changes made on your computer or device are synchronized.
    Connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your computer using the cable provided with your device or by placing the iPhone or iPod touch in the Apple Universal Dock.
    iTunes opens automatically when connected to your computer.
    In iTunes, in the source list, under Devices, click the entry for your iPhone or iPod touch.
    Click the Info tab.
    Under Calendars, click Sync calendars from, and then click Outlook.
    Do one of the following:
    To synchronize all calendars, click All calendars.
    To limit the calendars that are synchronized, click Selected calendars, and then click the calendars you want to synchronize.
    NOTE   To select multiple calendars, press CTRL as you click each calendar name.
    Click Apply.

  • How can I sync iPhone 3GS with my Windows 7 PC, when iTunes does not appear on monitor screen when I plug the iPhone into the computer?

    How can I ync iPhone 3Gs with my Windows 7 PC, when iTunes does not launch when I connect the iPhone to my computer? Note: My computer crashed and I am reinstalling everything.

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • How can I sync iPhone calendar with my wife's iPhone?

    How can I sync my iPhone calendar with my wife's iPhone calendar and vice versa?  Along with my iPad and iMac?

    One option is to share your iCloud calendars if all your devices are connected to iCloud and you are syncing your calendars with iCloud (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2690).  (You would need to be running OS X Lion on your iMac to sync with iCloud.)

  • How do I sync iPhone 3GS with Outlook 2010?

    I just opened my new laptop and discovered my iPhone 3GS is not syncing.  How do I set this up?  Please, don't tell me they don't support each other!

    You need to remove and reinstall the latet version of iTunes so it installs the correct Outlook plugin. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Make sure there is at least one contact and one calendar entry in Outlook before syncing or it will erase the contactsand calendar in your phone.

  • Problem syncing Iphone 4 with Outlook 2010 Calendar and Contacts

    I am running Windows 7 with Office 2010 including Outlook 2010.
    When I received my Iphone 4 three weeks ago, syncing with Contacts and Calendars worked fine.
    After having updated OS on the phone and Itunes on the computer, I get the following error message:
    "Itunes kunne ikke indlæse dataklasseoplysninger fra Synkroniseringstjenester. Opret forbindelse igen eller prøv senere"
    The syncing of music and apps work perfectly.
    PLEASE HELP

    Still no help, no sulution to Apple iPhone sync problems with Calendar...? I wish someone from Apple, or someone with specific knowledge could help! Windows XP Professional, Outlook 2003 to iPhone 4S (2012) does not communicate any Calendar entries between the two machines.
    Strange thing is that it worked when iPhone was newly purchased for about a month, then stopped??
    Even stranger is that Contacts get synced just fine between the two machines?
    Anyone who could help, please post your comments in Apple Support Discussions

  • How do I sync iphone 4S with a new computer?

    I have just bought a new computer and installed itunes but i cannot sync my iphone as it is linked to the library on my previous computer.
    I have been searching forums and Apple support for days now with no success. I phoned Apple support but they want £25 for the answer... em, no chance. You have enough money you greedy bastards.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    As long as your original computer is still working you can take the device back to it, restore the most recent backup, then start over.
    The process should be:
    Transfer working library to new computer.
    Authorize new computer.
    Sync device (as if nothing had changed).
    Deauthorize old computer if you don't want to access protected content from it again.
    The key to getting right is step 1. Here is how I usually suggest to do it...
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.

  • 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.

    I manage all of my email in Outlook, delete email and trash it however the update isn't reflected in the Cloud and\or Apple email.  I have to then open up Apple mail and delete again. 
    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.

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.
