How to I sync my contacts in the cloud with Address Book?

Via Address Book on my iMac, I've managed to organize all my contacts into two folders on the cloud. I'd now like to sync them so that Address Book on my computer mirrors my contacts on the cloud.
How do I do this? And how can I make it so that in the future if I add a new contact on my computer that it auto updates in the cloud.

If your Mac is running OS X 10.7.5 or higher, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign in with your iCloud ID and check Contacts.  If you don't have OS X 10.7.5 or higher you will have to update OS X in order to sync with iCloud.

    Hi azuldelf,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    In addition to using iCloud, you can sync your iPhone to your Mac using iTunes.

    Hey dthompson2108, 
    Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities. 
    You can sync contacts between your iPhone and MacBook Pro using iCloud or iTunes.
    See this link for help with setting up iCloud on your computer and device(s):
    Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
    Instead of turning on iCloud on your iPhone and Mac, you can sync using iTunes as explained in this article:

    Make sure Contacts is selected in System Preferences > iCloud. That should sync your contacts on your Mac automatically.

  • How you can sync your contact and your mail with iTunes 11 as it's not there anymore ?

    How you can sync your contact and your mail with iTunes 11 as it's not there anymore ?

    ~ means your Home directory. Using the command above takes you to the Home directory on the boot drive.  Your backup files are now on another drive in a directory that used to be your Home but is now a subfolder of Users so you have to specify that drive after the /Volumes, then the user name, then the rest to go there
    I use OSX 10.4.11 and on it the libraries are still visible.  There's two at least.  One general one at the top level of the boot drive and another for each user (the one with the ~).  I think they made at least one of them invisible with newer OS versions.

    Hi veganqueen,
    If you already have your contacts in iCloud, you should be able to turn it on within the iCloud preference pane, as noted in the article below:

  • How do I download my contacts from the cloud into the Mac

    I have been updating my contacts into the cloud but I would like to have the updated records physicaly on the Mac. I don't know how import them into my Mac.

    I'm not fully sure what you want to do.
    If your contacts are at iCloud.com and you want them synced to your mac, just turn on contact syncing in system preferences > iCloud.
    If your contacts are in iCal in your iCloud account and you want them in your on my mac account, just drag them to On My Mac in users and groups.
    If they are in iCloud.com and you want them in iCal in your On My Mac account, do both of the above or make sure On My Mac is the default account in iCal and choose export from the options from the gear icon at iCloud.com.

  • My iPad does not sync any contacts to the cloud, what can I do?

    The interesting thing is: It receives contacts from the cloud and I can even alter or delete those contacts on the iPad but it simply doesn't sync its own contacts to the iCloud. What can I do???
    Thanks in advance!

    Try using contacts (mac) to drag a contact from one are to another.  I can't test this as I only have the "iCloud" group.

  • How can I put a contact in two or more Address Books without making a 'new contact' for each?

    I would like to put several of my contacts in more than one Address Book; but, if I move them (drag'n'drop) from one they no longer remain in the original Book...which I want. I'd like to segregate different interest groups and file them in separate Address Books, but many of my contacts fit in several Address Book identities. Any solution to keep from having to make whole new contact addresses for existing contacts? Thanks for any help you might offer..... NJR

    If I want to copy a contactl to another address-book I simly hold down the ctrl-key when I drag and drop

  • HT201269 How can i sync my contacts from the iPhone to my mac pro?

    Hi
    I am trying to sync my contacts on my IPhone to the mac pro but it seems not work.
    Any one faced this issue and solved, Please advice.
    Regards

    If you want your contacts to remain in sync across iOS devices, then you can use any Exchange-type of account.  For example, once you have a "clean" set of contacts with no duplicates, you could upload that into iCloud so that any change you make from your iPad would be reflected on your iPhone.  You don't have to use iCloud for e-mail since your devices can pull a contact from iCloud for use with GMail or Yahoo.
    But you can also set GMail up as an Exchange account if you don't want to use iCloud.  The GMail account type in iOS is not Exchange, but you can set it up that way:
    http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?l=en&topic=14252&answer=138740
    The benefit of doing this is (a) your Google contacts remain in sync across all your devices, and (b) your GMail will then support Push notification.  Just one caveat, when you do this then the default behavior when you delete an e-mail is such that it is archived to your "All Mail" folder in GMail.  The only way to change this behavior is to use your device's Safari to navigate to m.google.com/sync and change the setting on Google's server for each of your devices.  This is a one-time thing, but important if you want trashed e-mails to really go to Trash.
    As far as Contact Management Software options to clean things up, Google search is the only recommendation I have

  • How do i get my contacts from the cloud to my phone?

    I erased all of my contacts from my phone on accident. How do I get them from the cloud back to my phone?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you deleted your contacts from your contacts app, they will also be deleted in iCloud.
    However if you deleted your account or simply turned contacts syncing off, you should be able to log back into your account or re-enable contacts syncing and they would repopulate your contacts app.
    Could you perhaps tell us which of these you have done.
