How to Sync iPhone Contacts to Mac running Mavericks?

I stuck woth 10.6.8 for as long as I coudl but eventually uplgraded to Mavericks..
Now it seems contacts do not sync between the iphone and the Mac any more...I can't even find the options for that in iTunes or iPhone prefs.
I have gone through all the Menu and so far have failed to spot any item that is related.
I have seen other threads about contacts not syncing and mention was that I shoudl turn off iCloud Sync...well iCloud was not even on..I have not used iCloud for contact sync since it screwed all my contacts, deleted laods and duplicated the rest. so there is no way I will touch that again.
Any tips apprectiated.

OH bloody brilliant! First I see iSync has gone so I cna't sync my other phone now this!!
Wha the ***FHFY are Apple trying to do ....grrr. Make monye no doubt by forcing evey one to use the iCloud, then once we are all on it.start charging for data.
What next I wonder for OS 11, no ability to install apps at all ...forcing you to use and pay for apps on a per use basis ...rather like Adobe Createive Cloud products...
Lost ofr words.....uurrr..the most useful part of having a Mac and iPhone for me wa the ability to keep contacts syn'd...
It's ok for them no doubt with good and cheap internet access so they can use iCould every where..but not all the world is like that. Annoyed, angry fumin g....

Upgrading from old Mac to new- how to sync iPhone with new Mac?

Hi all,
My dad is upgrading from an old iBook to a nice new iMac. He has spent quite a few days tweaking his new iMac and importing old files and folders. The one thing we haven't yet done, though, is iTunes. He has an iBook G3 that he syncs his iPhone with, and he wants to be able to "move" his whole iTunes setup to the new iMac so that it picks up right where the iBook left off, without needing to reset the iPhone.
One thing to keep in mind is that the iBook had a tiny hard drive and thus the music files are actually on an external hard drive. I was wondering how to go about this feat. I read that using Migration Assistant deletes everything off the new Mac, so that's not an option at this point. Thanks for the help!

If you had use Migration Assistant to start with it would have been easier.

How to sync iPhone with new Mac without losing all my iTunes?

I have recently got a new MacBook after my old one crashed... but I have been told that anything not bought would be lost when I sync my iPhone with my new Mac... I have already transferred the bought songs etc... is there a way (cheap or free if possible!) to transfer my music and videos to my iTunes library on my Mac?
Thank you very much!

Hi,
Option 1:
     If you have purchased a new Mac from an Local Apple store, I'd advise you to bring in your old computer along with your new one in, and have them assist you on transferring. (Assuming your computer doesn't not even power up)
Option 2:
     If your computer can be powered up (seeing the Apple Logo), and your hard drive is fine, then you can connect the two computers by using a Firewire cable, and then transfer the music files by drag and drop.
     http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661
Option 3:
     There are 3rd party software that you may purchase used to extract music from your iPhone, but it will have to be done at your own risk. You may Google for extracting music from iPhone for a start.

How to sync iphone to new mac without losing iPhone info

My Mac was fixed by apple care and they replaced the drive. Now my phone detects a "new" computer and watns of data loss. Please advise

You can transfer itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You can e-mail the Photo library pics to yourself. They will not be of the original quality.
You can import the pics taken with iphone as you would with any digita camera.
If you enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer, then when you first sync, you should get the option to merge the data.

Since I down loaded Mavericks I can't sync calendars with iPhone. How can I sync iPhone calendar and Mac calendar

Since I downloaded Mavericks on my Mac I can't sync calendars with iphone. How can I sync iphone calendars with Mac calendar?

Mavericks syncs Calendar via iCloud.
Make sure you have the same iCloud account set up on your mac and your iPhone.
In System Preferences > iCloud, make sure the Calendars checkbox is checked.
In System Preferences > Internet Accounts, iCloud should be an account in the box on the left, and Calendars should be checked in the box on the right. If you have other calendars, for example, from work, make sure those are enabled too.
Check the same settings on your iPhone: in Settings > iCloud, make sure the same iCloud account info is present and that the Calendars slider is on. in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, make sure the iCloud account is present, and that the Calendars slider is on.

Are there any tutorials on line to learn how to work IPhone on a Mac computer?

Also search YouTube for some more recent tutorials. You can also purchase a number of iPhoto books from Amazon that go into great detail. Be sure that you search for items that are related to the version of iPhoto that you're running (I'm on 9.5.1 - the latest version).
Good luck,

How do i sync iphone with multiple macs? and few questions

Hi
I would appreciate if anyone would help me.
1. I would like to know how to sync my iphone with different macs. I have a macbook 13 and a macbook 15 and would like to use BOTH to be able to transfer data without losing them. (address, apps, photos and music)
would like to use this feature if I were to be suddenly on a trip and a friend would like to share some of his files (audio, apps, photos..etc)
2. is it possible to use internet tethering on multiple macs or example a "spontanious" mac? (ex. if I were suddenly to use internet through usb on a friends mac while we were on a trip but it were programmed on my mac at home)
3. my internet tethering is only working on one mac which I usually use to sync everything... i tried just using tethering through usb on the other mac wihtout any sync but somehow it didnt work... usually i just plug and play and start using firefox... by automatic detection...
4. is there also a way to copy files from iphone onto a mac which would not be one of my libraries?
5. why cant i use iphone like the ipod as a disk use?
I am aware that these things are somewhat possible because i have read quiet a few artivles but they are sadly enough not so current... any help appreciated.

#1: As has been said, you can't get around it. An iPhone cannot be synched to more than one computer for any media content (it can be for contacts and calendar information, I believe).
#4: You can transfer items purchased from the iTunes Store to another computer but only if you disallow synchronization and authorize that computer to your iTunes Store account. There are third-party utilities that can transfer non-iTunes Store content.
#5: there is no disk mode in an iPhone and no way to enable one, at least not in the sense of disk mode in earlier iPods. There are third-party apps that allow some file transfer to and from an iPhone.
I can't help with tethering questions.

How to sync iphone s through itunes on old mac

I backed up my old iphone to my mac os x 10.5.8. I just bought a new I phone s. I want to sync it with my mac so I can pull up my old apps, contacts, etc. through itunes. When I plug in my phone, it says I have to download Itunes 11.3 or later. I can't update my itunes. It says I have the latest itunes update, but it is only 10.6. Any suggestions on how I can sync my new phone using my mac and more specifically using itunes?

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, it can't sync that iPhone.
If it's an Intel Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.

How to sync iPhone's Facebook integrated contacts to Address Book (Mac)?

Hello Apple Support Communities!
I have a question regarding the Facebook integrated contact entries in iOS6. Is there any way of syncing them onto the Mac's "Address Book" or iCloud?
Seeing as how they contained a lot of information, I copied all the numbers and addresses onto these Facebook contacts and deleted the ones I originally had. But when I synced them onto the computer, only the ones that weren't linked to Facebook stayed in the address book and iCloud.
Perhaps there is an app that allows me to export the contacts on my iPhone and onto the Mac?
Thank you in advance!

How to sync iPhone video back from Mac to iPhone?

I synced a number of iPhone recorded videos to my iMac and deleted them from my iPhone. I now want to put some of them back on my iPhone. I made a playlist in iPhoto, dragged the videos into it and tried to sync that playlist back to my iPhone, but neither the list or the videos in it made it back to the iPhone.
Does anyone know how to get videos back to the iPhone again?
thanks,
Erik

You can use the iTunes Photos setup pane to sync photos and videos (Mac only, iTunes 9 or later required) back to the Photos application on iPhone. I added my video to the album I sync to my phone.
Be sure to check "Include videos".

TS4062 i cannot sync my phone with itunes because my software is 10.5.8 so new itunes version will not download. How else can i sync iphone to my mac?

i cannot sync my iphone with itunes because my software is too old- 10.5.8. The new itunes version will not download. How else can i sync my iphone to my mac?

You need to buy and install a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD; once it's installed, run the Software Update pane of System Preferences twice.
There is no other way to sync it, but content can be downloaded directly from the iTunes Store servers; for non-purchased music, this requires signing up for iTunes Match, which costs more than the DVD.
