How do I transfer my iPhone 4S contacts to my MacBook Pro Adress Book?

What I Want: I want to sync my iPhone 4S contacts into the Address Book on my MacBook Pro.
Problem: Everything else syncs fine, but my contacts.
I have everything under iCloud turned On to sync onto my MacBook Pro, but it doesn't sync the contacts into the Address Book, or at all for that matter.
When I go into System Preferences, then try to choose iCloud(which is not there), I select MobileMe. I never remembered signing up for MobileMe before, but I still tried my icloud username/password with no luck. This is where it's weird. I restarted my laptop, click on MobileMe again and it had me logged in, except I get this error "An error was returned from the server" and I can't choose what to sync because it's all grayed out and unchecked. Does anyone know how to fix this?
P.S. Both devices are fully updated, latest OS and I just did a backup/sync with iTunes a few minutes ago, but same result. I tried it over the WiFi and hardwired.

I would sign out again, then update your Mac (latest version, not 10.7.3 as shown in your signature), open "Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars" and then choose iCloud and sign in again. I would also do the same on your iOS device (sign out and in). Make sure to confirm the message when you will be asked to merge the contacts with iCloud.

  • How can I sync my iPhone 4S contacts to my Macbook Pro?

    I just bought the iPhone 4S. I want to sync my contacts from the iPhone to my Macbook. However, I already sync someone else's iPhone to my macbook. How can I assure that these two different list of contacts do not merge? Thank You!

    As your MacBook only has one Address Book, you're going to end up with merged contacts if you sync two devices (whether you sync with iTunes or iCloud).  About all you could do is set up two contact groups within Address Book to allow separate views of the merged contact list.  Disable contacting in iTunes and sync your contacts with another service if you want them to be separate (such as Google sync http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740).

  • How do I transfer my iPhone 4S contacts to Lexus RX400 navigation system?

    How do I transfer my iPhone 4S contacts to Lexus RX400 navigation system phonebook?
    I was able to do it easily with my old Blackberry Bold 9700. Unfortunately, I no longer have that phone and I do not want to enter them one by one since I have about 200 of them.
    I now have an iPhone4s and cannot figure out how to do it on it.  Some of the Lexus boards say that it cannot be done since the iPhone is not a real business phone.
    Can anyone help?
    The iPhone4s has been successfully paired with the car via bluetooth.  It says that it is ready to accept the transfer of data but I cannot determine how to transmit the data from the iPhone.  With the Blackberry, I just seelected the Bluetooth connection, the paired device and there was a Transmit option but the iPhone does not seem to have that.
    Thanks.

  • Is it possible to view .bbb files in a mac? how? I am transferring my bberry contacts onto my macbook pro, but cannot open the .bbb files...

    Is it possible to view .bbb files in a mac? how? I am transferring my bberry contacts onto my macbook pro, but cannot open the .bbb files...

    Well, if simply double-clicking the .bbb file doesn't work, first try dragging the file onto the BBDM icon (either in the Dock, on the desktop or in the Applications folder or wherever it's stored). That tells Finder to open it with that application.
    Otherwise, right-click on the file and choose the Open With option. If BBDM is not the default, select Get Info and use the Open with box from there to select it (if it's not in the list, choose 'other' and navigate to it), then click the 'change all' button.

  • How can I sync my iPhone 4 with a new MacBook Pro without losing all my data and settings?

    I used to sync my iPhone 4 with a PC running Windows XP until the hard drive died. Thankfully, I already had a backup of all my iTunes media (Songs, TV Shows, Movies, Podcasts, Apps, etc), so when I bought a new MacBook Pro, transferring my iTunes library was easy.
    My problem now is that I want to sync my iPhone 4 with my new MacBook Pro without losing all the data and settings. I have already used iTunes to back it up and transfered my purchases onto the mac. I just need help to sync the iPhone with the Mac without losing app data, emails, contacts, settings.
    Everytime I click on the tabs (to sync contacts, apps, music, et al), I get an error message that reads:
    "Are you sure you want to sync apps? All existing apps and their data on the iPhone “Ryan's iPhone” will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library."
    What do I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ryan

  • How do I transfer a downloaded offline website from my macbook pro to an ipad2?

    I want my sales team to use an ipad2 to sell and present our products.  I have a website built that fully works offline which is our catalog. 
    Now I want to transfer that website from my macbook pro onto a 'master ipad' so I can then sync up the other ipads with the 'master ipad'.
    How do I transfer the site to the ipad?

    Have you tried resetting the iPhone and rebooting the Mac?  I don't think iPhoto has an import size limitation, but if you still have trouble then perhaps using a cloud service like Dropbox as an intermediary will get the job done.
