How do I transfer my iphone contacts to my new Macbook Pro?

I have a iphone and I am trying to transfer my contacts from the phone to my macbook, as well as my calendar info. I already back up to the cloud but do I need to have the contacts and calendar items checked in itunes to have them sync to my macbook? I ask that becasue curently they are grayed out in itunes but sync to the cloud just fine. Any help would be appreciated.

If your new Mac is running OS X Lion or Mountain Lion you can go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign into your iCloud account and turn on syncing for contacts and calendars and they should download to your Mac.  (See http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.)

  • 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 sync my iPhone 4S to my new Macbook Pro without erasing my iPhone?

    I know this has been asked many times and I have tried a lot of the ways that people have said to do it. For example, I have my old iTunes library and i have transfeered it to my Macbook but my iPhone still does not reconize it as the "same" computer. I rather not use any third party software or anything similar. I have actually done this before with a windows computer (I did this about 6 or 7 months ago) but I cannot figure out what I did so that I didnt have to erase my iPhone.

    If you move the library properly it is the "same" library. If you have to import media into an empty library you're getting it wrong.
    At the simplest level you simply copy the entire iTunes folder from user's music on the source computer to user's music on the target copmputer. It only gets complicated if you've started using a non-standard media folder or don't have the Keep... and Copy... options enabled.
    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device if you have to go down that road.

    Thank you I will try that if there is nothing else that i can do.

    Im a ex windows vista user, who evently became fed up and converted to a macbook pro. i just purchesed the macbook pro yesterday and have been trying to transfer all my music, contacts, notes, apps, etc. from my iphone 4 onto my new macbook pro. nothing seem to be working without it trying to erase all my info off of my iphone 4. I didnt think this would be a issue where they are both apple devices, but im now starting to regret the decision to purchace this macbook pro. please help me so i dont loose all my info trying to sync both devices. thanks for you help and advice

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can only sync the iPhone with one Mac or PC, so your Mac is asking you to erase the device because you synced it with another Mac or PC. To avoid this, I recommend you to copy the "iTunes" folder of your old Mac or PC (in Music folder) to the Music folder of your Mac, so you'll have the same data on your Mac as the data you had on the PC.
    To transfer contacts, notes, etc., I recommend iCloud > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
