How Do I sync my iPhone 4 Phone Contact List to my iPhone 4s?

I just recieved my new iPhone 4s and I was able to sync most of the stuff from my iPhone 4 to it. However when it came to my contact list we're having an issue. I have a MacBook Pro i5 Dual Core processor running OS Lion but can't seem to know how to get it to synce my adress book with my iPhone 4 so I can make the transfer to the 4s. When I try to sync the contacts it tells me that they are already on icloud but why synced the new phone the Contact list synced was the one on my MacBook which isn't complete...What do I need to do and how do I get access to my iCloud account?

You can backup to iCloud, and restore that backup to your new phone.  No requirement to use a PC anymore.

  • How can I sync outlook 2007 subfolders, contacts, and calendar to iphone 6

    How do I setup to sync outlook 2007 subfolders, contacts, and calendar to iphone 6?
    Inbox messages will sync but not the sent box from either outlook or iphone.  Also, outlook subfolders are showing up on iphone. 

    Hi,
    you don't need MobileMe or anything fancy. I personally sync my Outlook calendar and my Outlook address book with three computers (two at the office and one at home)and besides I run Office 2003 on one, Office 2007 on the other and Office 2010 on the third, so it can't get more complicated than that, but it works 100%.
    First sync Outlook with iTunes on one computer, having done that when you try to sync it to another machine, iTunes will recognize that it is synced with another computer and ask you if you want to merge the data, say yes, That's all there is to it.
    It does not work for music as you rightly say but as far as Calendars and Contacts are concerned it's flawless and transparent.
    If you hit a snag talk back to me.
    Cheers.

  • How can I sync my yahoo mail contact list with my ipad2?

    How can I sync my yahoo contact list with  my iPad 2?

    Found the answer from another discussion here and it did work in about 2 minutes:
    in settings, click mail, contacts , calendars
    you need to add two accounts:
    one for mail as a Yahoo account
    another per the instructions below
    Yahoo syncs contacts by adding a CardDAV account:
    Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars
    Tap Add Account
    Tap Other and then tap Add CardDAV Account
    For the Server you need to enter carddav.address.yahoo.com
    Now type in the Yahoo! ID (full email address) and password you use to sign in to your Yahoo! Contacts
    why not all in one? who knows!
    Ps. You might have to do several tries with and without the .xxx extesion to the account name
    Yahoo has multiples with att and all othr isp's

  • How do I clear duplicates from my contact list on the iphone

    My iphone contact list is has many duplicates fromprevious syncs.  Can I clear these out?

    You can't do it on the iPhone. You'll have to do it on your computer. Open Address Book. Go to Cards>Look for Duplicates. Delete those from there. You also might want to merge some info too. You can also merge them using the merge option under the Cards menu.

  • How do I sync my i phone contacts and calendar on to my new lap top?

    I want to replicate my phone calendar and contacts on my lap top.
    Also, emails that I send from my phone show on my lap top, but not vice versa.
    Can I sync all of this through i Tunes somehow?

    You sync contacts & calendars through iTunes to supported applications on your computer. You select such on the "Info" pane, in iTunes, while your phone is connected. Before doing so, make sure the supported applications on your computer are not empty...make sure there is at least one unique entry in each. This will generate a merge or replace prompt when you do sync, select merge. Never sync to an empty application on your computer, doing so will erase the data on your phone.
    Regarding your mail account, actual emails are not synced through iTunes. Whether your emails are kept in sync or not is determined by the type of mail account you have. Only an IMAP or Exchange account can be kept in sync, not possible with a POP account.

  • How do I sync an iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 contact list on my iMac and keep the contact lists separate?

    I am going crazy. I have an iPhone 4 and my husband an iPhone 5. When our devices are synced to iTunes, our contact lists are merged.
    I've previously set up a separate user account for each of us and we both have separate apple id's. I even tried setting up a new library for him but it keeps reverting back to my contact list on his phone etc.
    How can I sync our contact lists and keep these details separately? He has work numbers in my phone and I have mine in his. Its driving me nuts deleting the numbers we don't use on each others phone!
    Please help me! Thank you.
    Cheers

    Apple refuses to answer this question ... very impolite, unprofessional and unfriendly to customers

  • I have only loaded phone contacts in my new iPhone 5 and my email contacts only on my Macbook Pro with retina display contacts how can I keep them from changing my iPhone to email contacts only when I connect to iTunes please

    Since purchasing a new iPhone 5 and macbook pro with retina display I have decided to keep the iPhone 5 for phone contacts only, and the macbook for email contacts only .. Is there a way for me to keep these as they are recorded on each apple product when I sync with iTunes as it has changed my iPhone and put in email contacts and thus deleted iPhone phone contacts once when I syncd thanks appreciate any help

    To prevent your iPhone from automatically syncing when you plug it in, click on iTunes in the menu bar, then preferences, then "devices", then tick "prevent iPhones, iPad's and iPod's from syncing automatically".
    Plug it in, then on the iPhone sync summary screen, click "info" along the top.
    Make sure the "sync contacts" option is not ticked. as long as it's not ticked, then it won't sync with your mac's contacts but will still include them in backups.
    Also, if you use iCloud, make sure that the iPhone/mac are either not signed into the same account, or that "contacts" is not turned on for both of them

  • When I sync my phone I get my husbands phone contact list, apps etc and the same happens when he sync his phone.  It recognizes our phone as different users.  How can I get it to not do that??

    When I sync my phone I get my husband's phone contact list, apps, etc and the same happens when he syncs his phone.  It does recognize our phones as different users so how can I stop this from happening when we sync?

    Did you tick the box in iTunes to sync with the Mac address book?  Are you using the same user account on your Mac, with the same contacts in the same address book?

  • TS1347 How do I sync with windows mail contacts with my iPhone 4S?

    How do I sync with windows mail contacts with my iPhone 4S?  I want to move my email contact information from Windows Mail to my iPhone 4S

    You don't need Outlook to sync contacts. You do have Windows Contacts available which is a supported address book application for syncing contacts with the iPhone.
    Windows Live Mail is not an email client. Windows Live Mail is an email account that can be accessed via webmail access using a browser or with an email client such as with Outlook or Windows Mail on a PC.
    You can export your Windows Live Mail contacts from your Windows Live Mail online address book for import into the Windows Contacts address book application on your PC which is supported for syncing contacts with your iPhone.

  • I have all my devices connected to iCloud.  I would like a reduced contact list on my iPhone without removing any from my master list on my computer.  How do I delete contact numbers from my phone without disrupting the master list on my computer?

    I have all my devices connected to iCloud.  I would like a reduced contact list on my iPhone without removing any from my master list on my computer.  How do I delete contact numbers from my iphone without disrupting the master list on my computer?

    Are you trying to reduce the visual clutter on the phone, save space on the phone, or limit the security exposure if your phone is stolen?
    If you are only wanting to reduce the visual clutter and make scrolling through the list faster, you could set up a group on the computer containing only the contacts you want to see on my phone (called, for example, "Show on my Phone") and enable only that group inside Contacts on the phone. You might even have one or more existing groups that you could enable that way (maybe "Family" and "Personal").

  • HT204053 How can I get the contacts list on my iPhone to appear in my iPad Air

    How can I get the contact list on my iPhone to appear in my iPad Air?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Please try the following…
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • How do I get my iPhone 4 contacts switched onto my iPhone 3G

    I need to switch my iPhone 4 contacts over to my iPhone 3G. I can't get ICloud to work on the iPhone 3G and the AT&T store couldn't get the contacts switched over either. How can I switch them over without using iCloud, the store, or apple support over the phone?

    Contacts can be synced with a supported address book app on your computer. You can sync your iCloud online contacts from your iPhone 4 with a supported address book app on your computer followed by syncing the iPhone 3G direct with the address book app on your computer via the iTunes sync process.

  • How do i erase a corrupt contact list from iCloud,iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro and restore Address Book backup to all devices and cloud?

    how do i erase a corrupt contact list from iCloud,iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro and restore Address Book backup to all devices and cloud?
    I saved a corrected, most up to date version of my master Address Book Contacts as a back-up on my Mac Book Pro.
    then in an effort to "simplify my life"  i attempted to sync my I phone contacts - ( pre clean-up version) with my clean list on Mac Book Pro, New I pad and newly available icloud. DUH!! Using iTunes to do the sync caused the clean MacBOOK Pro list to be commingled with the dirty iphone contacts. amd now the whole mess is in the cloud. 
    I need to clear out the contaminated lists from all iplaces, and startover with Back-up on my macbook pro. BUT HOW???
    Help
    Karen

    I had exported an address book backup: abbu
    so since i wrote, i have found my way into the cloud: selected all entries - deleted them all from the cloud.
    This wiped out contacts on my iphone and i pad, and MBP, as well as on the cloud.  I then imported the abbu back into my now empty address book. 
    To repopulate the crowd, i selected all in my address book and created a single card vCard for export to my desktop.  I then dragged that vcard into my empty cloud.  Now my cloud has the same clean contacts as my MBP addressbook.  The cloud then pushed the clean contacts into my empty ipad and iphone contacts. 
    I had to go back to Address Book>preferences>Accounts and Add an I cloud account - but if you accidentally create a second i cloud account - all of a sudden your address book will duplicate itself.  I quickly reversed it by deleting one of the icloud accounts in my Address Book>preferences>Accounts. 
    I created a new entry on my MBP and it is now on all devices and in cloud
    I also created a new entry on my iPhone and it is now in the address book on my MBP.
    I feel empowered!!
    Have i missed anything??

  • How do I sync new 2nd phone with other phone

    How do I sync wife's phone with our ipad & my phone.  Particularly interested in calendar.  Her's in synced with iTunes on her PC & mine synced with itunes on my PC.  Have calendar app downloaded on all 3 & mine & ipad are syncing ok.

    Sync? or restore?
    What info are you looking to sync?
    If it's all of it, you will need to backup one iPhone and restore that to the others.
    If it's just selected info, calendars, contacts, Apps, music, use the iCloud and syncing with a computer.
