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 do I transfer my music from my iPhone to my new Macbook Pro?

    I'm wondering how I can transfer my music, etc from my iPhone to my new Macbook Pro?

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The syncis one way -  computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    You should copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • HT1386 Trouble syncing my contacts from my Iphone to my New MacBook

    I have already done the steps in itunes with selecting the sync contacts but nothing seems to be going across to my contacts on my address book. I'm using Mountain Lion. Any help would be greatly apriciated

    The sync process for iTunes content is a one way transfer process only. The only data that is truly synchronized by definition via the iTunes sync process with a supported application on your computer is for contacts, calendar events, Safari bookmarks, notes, and reminders.
    The iPhone is not designed or intended to be used as an external hard drive.
    Transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link along with all other important data such as documents, photos, etc.

  • HT1296 How do I back up the calendar and contacts from my iPhone5 to my new macbook pro(10.8.3)? I have backed up the phone, but it does not transfer the calendar or the contacts. If I check them in the sync area and the back up the phone again...

    How do I back up the calendar and contacts from my iPhone5 to my new macbook pro(10.8.3)? I have backed up the phone, but it does not transfer the calendar or the contacts. If I check them in the sync area and then back up the phone again will they transfer or be erased? I am a bit gun shy since my previous macbook pro committed suicide and I lost a ton of info there.

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer.

    Hello ashlyn888,
    Based on your post it sounds like you would like to sync your iBooks content with your computer. I have located an article that may help you in this situation. While you can sync this data with your computer you can also use the sharing button to send PDFs using various sources:

  • How do I transfer my library from my iPhone to my new Macbook Air?

    How do I transfer my photos from my iPhone or IPad to my new Macbook Air?  I last synced to my old Macbook Pro, and have since had a major issue with the library on that computer.  The library on my iPhone and iPad are good and would like to import those to my iPhoto on my Macbook Air and just start from there.  Any suggestions?  Thank you!!! Craig

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • Transferring my contacts, itunes music, apps, address book, and pics from my iphone to my new MacBook Pro

    I bought a new MacBook Pro 4 months ago, had some issues with it, brought it to Best Buy Geek Squad and they   . Now I would like to sync my iphone 4 with my computer. However, when I go to do that a message appears that says the computers current information will transfer to the iphone. Well there isn't anything on my computer and so I am afraid if I follow through with it my iphone will lose everything. I am mainly concerned about my address book, itunes and pictures. Is there any way for me to transfer from the iphone to the MacBook Pro?
    My husband also has an iphone. I'd like to be able to also sync itunes with his phone but not the contacts. Any suggestions?

    You might want to ask your question in the iPhone forum - https://discussions.apple.com/community/iphone/using_iphone.
    While all of us here have MacBook Pros, not everyone (including myself!) have an iPhone.
    Then again, some MBP/iPhone user may come along with an answer to your question... but I'd post it in the iPhone forum were I you.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • How to transfer an iTunes library from an iPhone to a new Macbook Air

    I just received a new macbook air and I would like to transfer the music from my iPhone to my new laptop. My old laptop that contained my itunes library is dead so I don't know how to get the music from my iPhone onto my new computer.

    Is the music you want on your new Mac all purchased music via iTunes?
    If so, then you can log into the iTunes Store on your Mac, and then on the right side, click on Purchased under Quick Links. Then click on All Songs, and Not on This Computer. You will see all of your purchased iTunes music listed with a little cloud next to each song. You can download songs individually, or go to the bottom and click on Download All.

  • How do I get all my music from my iPhone onto my new macbook pro's iTunes? My old laptop is broken.

    I recently purchased a Macbook Pro as my old Macbook broke. I want to transfer all the music from my iPhone onto the iTunes of my new Macbook Pro, however I cannot do this by moving the tracks onto an external hardrive from the old computer to the new as the old is broken. I've looked at lots of different forums etc. on the internet and I've still had no luck! Please help me !

    Get a third-party utility such as Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac. See also, Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store and How to dowload purchased music.

    My Macbook was stolen last month.  I have replaced my macbook and was wondering how to get all my music from my iphone on to my new macbook?  I thought Icloud would save my files, photos and music but it apparently did not.  Any help is appreciated.

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
    Was your backup copy of your computer stolen as well?

  • How to transfert my data from my iPhone to my new Macbook pro.

    Hi everyone.
    I just bought a brand new Macbook pro and i want to transfert all my data that I bought on iTunes and the picture that I take from my iPhone 4 to my new macbook whitout loosing them.
    The iphone was first synchronized with the iMac of my father a couple month ago.
    I tried yesterday to put all my stock to my new macbook but it doesnt work.
    Is there a way that I can transfert it all...
    Thank you for your help!
    Luis
    PS, I'm french, sorry if there is some mistakes in English

    What do you want to transfer?  Music cannot be transferred without doing some workarounds that we probably can't discuss here.  Any music and apps bought from iTunes should show up on your MBP's iTunes once you activate iCloud (not sure if that's available where you're located).  Any music that you ripped yourself will require you to save it to a flash drive or DVD, then move it to your Mac by adding it to your iTunes library.
    Other than music and apps, what else do you want to transfer?

  • I have just fired up a new ipad, and am not getting the "info" tab in the bar, so I can't sync my contacts from my address book on my macBook Pro ... ??

    Any clues as to how I can get this happening, and sync all my data that I can sync to my iPhone ? I don't seem to be getting all the faclilities I am suppopsed to ... most frustrating.

    With Mavericks you won't get the Info tab, you use iCloud to sync contacts - from http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12117 :
    If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.
