How do i transfer iphone contacts onto imessenger on my mac?

Plz Help.
Ive just installed imessenger onto my Macbook and none of the contacts from my Iphone have tranferred onto my computer so I have no idea who im messaging from my Macbook?
Is there some option I can choose to transfer the contacts from my iphone onto imessenger without having to do each one manually?

Howdy solomon1992,
I see you are using OS X Yosemite on your MacBook. If you are using the Messages app that comes with OS X it gets contact information from Contacts.
You can sync Contact information between your iPhone and computer with iTunes, the Info tab. Please see
Sync your iPhone, iPad, and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
Info: Sync your contacts and calendars.
I'm not sure what the app imessenger uses.
Best regards,
Nubz

  • I have my contacts synced with icloud and exchange. I want all of them to be synced via icloud, I have tried turning contacts off and then clicking merge but that doesn't copy all of them over. How do I transfer all contacts onto my phone and then icloud?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you can't do this on a computer, which would be much easier using drag and drop, then you will need to share the contacts with yourself in order to move them to the iCloud account.

    How do I transfer iphone contacts to my PC

    1.Plug your USB cable into the computer and charge/sync cradle, which comes with your phone.
    2.Place the iPhone in the cradle. iTunes should start automatically and recognize your iPhone.
    3.Click on the iPhone logo in the left navigation pane of iTunes. You’ll be taken to a screen that gives you an overview of your phone and has several tabs along the top of the window, among them, "Contacts."
    4.Click on the "Contacts" tab and select which contacts you want synced with your iPhone. You'll need to choose which program you want your contacts synced from. Mac users will want to use "Address Book" or "Entourage." PC users should use "Microsoft Outlook" or "Outlook Express."
    5.Click the "Sync" button at the bottom of the "Contacts" pane. Your sync status will be visible in the top middle of the window. Do not remove your iPhone from the cradle until the sync is complete.
    6.Eject your iPhone by clicking on the "Eject" button next to your iPhone’s logo in the left margin.
    7.Check your contacts on your iPhone. Your new downloaded contacts should be there.

  • How do I transfer iPhone contacts via Bluetooth to my car

    I just bought a Mercedes-Benz GLK 350 and I cannot figure out how to transfer my Verizon iPhone contacts to the MB console via Bluetooth vCard upload. Having trouble fidning a resource that can enlighten me on this.

    The iPhone 4 does not support the OPP profile that is required for Bluetooth contact transfer.  So your out of luck using conventional methods.
    Who knows?  Maybe iOS 5 will allow this... I know that they have improved bluetooth support, however I don't know if that includes OPP.

  • How do i transfer iphone contacts to my mac

    anyone done this ?

    Use your Mac Address Book and sync your iPhone with iTunes. From the Info tab, under Contacts, make sure to select “Address Book” from the drop-down menu before you sync.
    I am not sure whether it works on Mac, but you can use copytrans contacts to transfer the contacts too (in case you do not want to use iTunes sync):
    Finally, you can simply use the iCloud app and install it on your Mac. Make sure to enable iCloud contact sync on your iPhone. Then import contacts from your Mac to your iCloud application, this will move and sync the contact entries to your iPhone.

  • 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.

    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.

  • I am trying to transfer my contacts to my iphone from a Casio G'zOne phone but I keep getting Connection Unsuccessful. How do I transfer the contacts?

    I am new to Apple products and I am trying to transfer my contacts to my iphone from a Casio G'zOne phone but I keep getting Connection Unsuccessful. How do I transfer the contacts?

    How are you trying to transfer them? Via Bluetooth? If so, that will not work.
    You need to get the contacts from the Casio phone into a supported contact manager on your computer (Address Book/Contacts on a Mac or Outlook on a PC) then sync them to the iPhone via iTunes or iCloud.

    You are syncing contacts or trying to sync contacts how - direct with a supported address book app on your computer via the iTunes sync process, which is selected under the Info tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?

  • How i can transfer my contacts from nokia 2690 to iphone

    I have an old nokia phone 2690. I puchased a new i phone 4 . So how i can transfer my contacts to iphone ?

    Sync the old phone to the supported contact program on your computer, then select this contact program to sync your contact info from in iTunes:
    iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    Contacts
    To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" on your Mac.
    You can sync your contacts with:
    Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7)
    Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
    Windows Contacts (Windows Vista / Windows 7)
    Address Book (Mac OS X)
    Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
    Note: If using Microsoft Entourage, use Microsoft Entourage 2008 12.1.2 or later if syncing with Mac OS X v10.6 or later. If you would like to sync data on your Mac with Entourage, enable syncing between Entourage and Address Book.

  • How do I transfer email contacts from my snow leopard computer to my iphone 4s?

    How do I transfer my contacts from my mac pro OS 10.6.8 (no icloud) to my new iphone 4s?

    Actually it's usually the other way around; if you attempt to sync your contacts on your computer and your Address Book is empty it will sync the empty contacts from your Mac to your phone, resulting in the contacts on your phone being deleted.  As long as you have at least one contacts on your Mac, when you initially sync you should get a Merge or Delete prompt for contacts.  Choose merge and the contacts on your phone and on your Mac will be merged and the merged contact list will be then be on both.
    Another approach you can take if you're concerned about this is to enter the two contacts you have on your phone in Address Book on your computer, then without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences>Devices and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".  Then connect your phone and go to the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings, check Sync Contacts, then further down under Advanced...Replace Information on this iPhone, check Contacts.  Then click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.  This will replace the contacts on your phone with those in Address Book on your computer.  (You can also open Address Book and go to File>Export>Contacts Archive before doing anything and save this on your desktop as a backup in case something goes wrong.)
