How to i get my contacts on my phone to sync into my address book on my macbook?

i synced my phone to my macbook and the newer contacts wont show up in the addressbook on the laptop. how do i make them sync to the address book from my phone?

What Operating System is your Macbook running? If it's Lion, then you can go into the iCloud control panel in System Preferences, sign in with your Apple ID, and check "Contacts". Then it should sync with your iPhone contacts.
Oh, and make sure your phone is set up with iCloud as well. Of course, only if your Mac is running Lion.

    Well, you can go into setting>mail, contacts, calendars>add new account or through iTunes you can plug your phone into your computer, open iTunes, select your device, then select info. I hope this helps. Au revoir!

    How do you get your music on your phone without syncing the whole iTunes library on your phone?

    Are you syncing to a different computer?  Iphone will sycn with only one at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    Otherwise, just select what you want to be on the iphone under the music tab and sync.  What do you care if it erases?  You will be syncing what you want to the iphone.

  • How can i get my contacts from my phone into my pc? itunes/excel

    Hi
    I'm pulling my hair out here so would appreciate any help from you kind people!!
    I just want to export the numbers from my iphone 3GS onto my computer, I'm not worried about format or on what program they are stored, its just as a back up in case i were to lose my phone.
    Simplest way possible would be good!
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    You don't need Outlook to sync contact info but if you have Outlook available, you can access your Hotmail account with Outlook.
    With XP you can sync contacts with Outlook 2003 or 2007 along with syncing calendar events, or you can sync contacts only with the address book used by Outlook Express called Windows Contacts or Windows Address Book.
    Before syncing contacts with the address book used by Outlook Express - which is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, enter one contact in the address book application on your computer. Make this contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.

  • How to delete an iphone contact that does not show up in the address book

    hello--
    i am a new iphone 4s user and i had a quick question that i have not been able to find an answer to.
    when i am using imessage, there are a few contacts that come up as options but yet they are not located in my address book or contacts list-- they are simply only an option when creating a new text imessage.
    i would like to delete these contacts from the imessage list of options because they are numbers that i no longer need but i am not able to delete them.
    someone please help me fix this problem so i can get rid of these contacts and not send any messages to them instead of the actual correct person!

  • New/Updated contacts on iPhone 4 not syncing to iMac Address Book

    Greetings,
    My problem:
    When syncing my iPhone 4 with iTunes 10, iTunes will sync contacts FROM my iMac to the iPhone. It will not sync new or changed contacts from the iPhone TO my iMac (no two-way syncing).
    Further background:
    I recently had Apple replace my hard drive and restored from a Time Machine backup. Everything is working properly except this.
    What I'm using:
    * iPhone 4 w/ iOS 4.1 (latest)
    * iMac 2.4 GHz Intel running OS X 10.5.8
    * iTunes 10.1 (54)
    Example:
    If I create a new contact on my iMac, it syncs with the iPhone as expected.
    On the iPhone, If I edit the contact originally created on the iMac and re-sync, the changes do NOT sync back to my iMac.
    If I create a new contact on my iPhone, it does not sync with Address Book.
    What I've tried so far that has not worked:
    1.) Unchecked and re-checked "Sync Address Book Contacts" in iTunes (one-way syncing works fine)
    2.) Used the "Replace information on this iPhone" for Contacts within iTunes (contacts from iMac overwrite iPhone as expected)
    3.) I had a trial MobileMe subscription that I cancelled months ago.
    Went into the iPhone > Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > deleted the MobileMe account, keeping existing data on my iPhone.
    4.) Unchecked "Sync Address Book Contacts"
    * Went to /users/[username]/Library/Application Support/AddressBook, deleted AddressBook-v22.abcddb and /Images
    * Went to iSync app > Preferences > Reset Sync History
    * Verified new addressbook and /Images folder were created
    * Re-checked "Sync Address Book Contacts"
    * Performed another sync using iTunes
    (One-way sync works fine)
    5.) Deleted all Address Book entries
    * Unchecked "Sync Address Book Contacts"
    * Went to /users/[username]/Library/Application Support/AddressBook, deleted AddressBook-v22.abcddb and /Images
    * Went to iSync app > Preferences > Reset Sync History
    * Verified new addressbook and /Images folder were created
    * Re-checked "Sync Address Book Contacts"
    * Performed another sync using iTunes
    Can anyone offer some suggestions? I have my address book backed up, but I'd really like to be able to perform a two-way sync from my iPhone to my iMac's Address Book.
    Thanks,
    Rob

    No need for apologies!  Yes, it was checked.  Looks like I have solved the problem now and it was something very basic - in the preferences of Contacts on the iMac.  Looks like it's all synced now.  Thanks for replying!

  • Contacts Created on iPhone not syncing over to Address Book on laptop.

    Contacts created in Address Book on laptop do sync over to iPhone - no problem - but not the other way around. I must retype contacts daily created in the field to laptop. Apple specialist unable to find the problem. Passed on to engineering, end of January. Haven't heard a word.
    It worked fine until I updated 1.1.3. I had many issues after that update and am really leary of 1.1.4 after reading threads here. Have not updated.
    Also drives me crazy having to spin that stupid wheel to find contacts. Come on do designers actually use this thing?
    On the whole I'm happy with the iphone

    I tried erasing all the phone data as you suggested, but to no effect whatsoever (apart from having to setup my email/wifi etc. all over again).
    There's definitely something strange going on with the iPhone -> Mac connection. iPhoto shows the iPhone as being connected, even when it's not, and is still showing 23 pictures, which is what was on the phone before I reset it (they are now gone from the phone). iPhoto also calls it 'Apple iPhone', while I've changed the name to something else.
    Calendar syncing is still functioning flawlessly, but contacts created on the phone are still not being transferred.
    What's more, the contacts I added to the iPhone before I reset all the data were still on the phone afterwards.

  • Contacts (on Touch) won't sync to my Address Book (on Mac)

    Should changes made to "Contacts" on my Touch transfer over to "Address Book" on my Mac when I sync? I noticed today that changes I've made on the Mac ARE moving to the Touch, but not vice versa.

    When you plug the iPod in go to the Info tab in iPod preferences. Go all the way to the bottom and there are options to sync contact information the next time you sync. Check that and sync again.

  • How can I get my iCal from my Mac to sync into my iPad?

    I cannot seem to get my iMac Calender to transfer updates to my Ipad... yet I know I did this once before.  My OS on the mac is 10.6.8 and so I apparently cannot use icloud and I can't update my OS due to some software that I use that cannot go beyond that yet.  So I'm stuck.  Is there a way to do this without upgrading the mac?

    OK, then you need to go to Settings>iCloud on your iPad, and make sure that "Calendars", "Contacts", "Notes", and "Mail" are turned OFF. Then connect your iPad to iTunes on your Mac, and on the Device Profile screens select "Info". On that screen you can select your sync options once you have turned off those options in Settings>iCloud on your device.
    You do not need to upgrade anything in order to do this. You are just syncing via the Mac and iTunes vs. syncing via iCloud. The link I provided you with before has the info on how to sync via iTunes vs. iCloud.

  • How can I get iMessage to recognize my phone number AND my email address?

    I used to get imessages using my phone number.  Then my iphone screen broke and I ended up buying a new one.  Now when I restored my iphone, the imessaging only recognizes my email address (the one connected to my apple id) and not the phone number.  The phone number shows up as a lighter type font and can not be selected.  I made sure this number is part of my apple ID but that did not help. I have deleted and restored the account twice. 
    The imessage is working but only using the email address.
    Ideas?
    Jennifer

    the link Ckuan put up helped me resolve this. thank you.
    i signed out of both imessage and facetime on my computer and iphone. (i actually wasnt signed into my account on my iphone)
    but i did sign in on my iphone
    i then made sure that my tel number was the only button ticked
    then once that was sorted i went back to my computer and signed in to both imessage and facetime and my number was now an option.
    i made sure it was ticked and all was ok.
    i think my problem occured from when i done a "reset all settings" ... i only done this reset because my keypad on my iphone was sticking and that was a solution to sorting that.
    thanks again
