How to add contacts from address book

I updated my GS last night from 3.2.1 to the new 5.  I did not realize that it would delete my contact list!!!  All of my contacts are still in my address book on my computer.  Is there a way to transfer them to my phone?
Also, I tried to restore from backup, but the back up was from so recent, meaning there would be no contacts.

Connect to computer. Open iTunes and check the box that says sync contacts with address book

  • HT4489 how to import contacts from address book on mac?

    I'm a new user and was wondering if there was a way to import/transfer/copy my contact details from Address Book to ICloud?

    Open Address Book on your Mac, select the All Contacts group (if you have multiple groups), click on a single contact, press Command-A to select All Contacts, go to File>Export>Export vCard and save this file on your desktop.  Then import the file you just saved to your contacts on icloud.com as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfba7399f.

  • How to batch add contacts from Address Book to Jabber?

    Hi Guys,
    I've recently imported my contacts from my hotmail account. Some of these are AIM, Gmail (iChat compatible accounts). Instead of adding one by one can i batch add them from my address book?
    Cheers
    Jim

    Hi,
    Yes.
    Click on names in the Address Book (you can either do this with the Shift or Apple key as Modifiers or create Groups to keep Jabber and AIM buddies separate at this stage.)
    Once Highlighted drag them to the relevant iChat Buddy List.

  • I've just re-installed OSX mavericks and attempted to add contacts from address book, how do I do this?

    if you need any further details please ask away. I'm going full Noob today.

    Hey, thanks for the reply.
    I've actually resolved the question myself (Yay for me) I reinstalled mavericks and tried to restore my data using time machine. For whatever reason address book didn't copy over and neither did my iTunes library, I managed to find the answer to my iTunes query on another forum... Lol can you believe it was just the case of deleting two folders and voila! It worked... after two hours of searching.
    Anyways, I found the path for all the address book files. They had little lock icons on them (weird i know) which indicated that they were locked files????? Don't know why... So (I'm done soon I promise) I unlocked all the files and viola! they were accessible by address book/contacts again.
    Thanks for getting back to me though, I gave you a "This helped me" and a like just for taking the time to care.
    Cheers,

  • How to add groups from address book to phone?

    I copied contacts from phone to isync and then in address book I created groups which I then added contacts to.
    However when I did a sync with phone it did not add these groups
    I have a nokia e72
    I thought will be easier to do it on mac then copy over

    Hi
    I have the same problem. I'm on a Nokia E51 and it synchronizes the individual contacts fine.
    Starting point: None of my contacts where parted in groups.
    2: I made a group in my adressbook called "FIR" wich is my studygroup.
    3: I can still synchronize the contacts. But the group ("FIR") i've created does not show up on my phone!?
    Do I have to make the "FIR" group on the phone myself? I figured it would be easier to make the group in AdressBoook and then Synch it.

  • Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly.  Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync.  Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.

    Solutions?

    No, I never really found an easy solution.  I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device.  In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs.  A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup.  It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad.  But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost.  When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might.  If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
    None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it.  I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
    Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.

  • HT2486 want to know how to add pictures to address book that DO NOT appear as fullscreen images on the iPhone but remain as icons with the iPhone background visible

    want to know how to add pictures to address book that DO NOT appear as fullscreen images on the iPhone but remain as icons with the iPhone background visible (see attached image). for some reason, all new contacts added through Mountain Lion appear as fullscreen caller ID images.

    This would be better addressed in the iPhone forum, I would post there as well.
