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 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 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.

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.

Syncing contacts with iTunes without using iCloud

Since the new iTunes Version 11.1.3 it seems not possible to sync contacts, browser bookmarks and other things via WLAN sync. I don't want to see my contacts on Apple servers in order to be synced via iCloud.
Is there any possibility to sync an iPhone with iTunes without using iCloud. I'm quite angry Apple not leaving the decision on how to sync my iPhone up to me.

Hi,
This is currently not supported by iOS for any devices. Rumour is that iOS 5 will finally add this function, until then I'm afraid you are stuck with the good old cable.

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.

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.

Sync iPhone contacts with Gmail contacts whille having Outlook contacts

Hi,
I am currently syncing my iPhone's contacts with itunes ->Outlook.
Which means that all my contacts being saved on my Outlook account.
I also have many people/contacts on my Gmail accound that I wish to get in to my iPhone.
BUT:
The problem is that I am afraid to sync and get many many duplicates.
There is a way to merge both without making a MASS?
Plus:
It could be really nice to have all the contacts from my iPhone backed up on my Gmail account.
Thanks!!

Do you want to sync with Outlook.com or Windows PC Outlook? I'm guessing the latter since it sounds like you prefer to protect your privacy by not synching with the cloud. Try http://www.akruto.com. I've been using it with my iPhone and iPad without any problems. Website doesn't mention iOS, but I found out from a friend that it works with iOS and it does.

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...

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?
