  • How to Sync Contacts between two Iphones

    My wife and I just got Iphones. We would like to create all our contacts on one Iphone or even somewhere else and then copy all of that info into the phone or phones. I have searched but can't seem to find how to do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Contact info is designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer. With Windows XP and Vista, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007 - which can be used for syncing calendar events also, or with the address book used by Outlook Express with XP, or with the address book used by Windows Mail with Vista - the name change for OE with Vista. I believe this address book is called Windows Contacts.
    With a Mac, this can be with the Address Book app, or with the Entourage address book - Microsoft's equivalent for Outlook on a Mac.

  • How do i sync contacts on two iphones from the same computer without merging the contacts

    I called tech support and they suggested I set up a separate user account on my computer and that should create a new windows contact file (which it did).  When I sync the iphone from the new user account, it seems to still be syncing to the windows contacts folder in the main administrator account and not the newly created account.  iIconfirmed this because i deleted one contact from the iphone and one contact from the new windows contact folder.  I then did a sync and no changes occurred on phone or the windows contact folder in teh new user account.  I then went to the original user account and teh name I deleted from teh iphone was deleted from that windows folder.  I am not able to select any different folder to sync contacts with in the itunes "info" tab. Do I need to set up under a completely different computer?

    I called support and they helped me realize the " sync contacts with windows contacts" was unchecked (maybe I didn't click sync or apply when I first checked it?).  He helped me clean up some unnecessary contacts by clicking the contacts box in the advance tab and removing names directly from the windows contacts folder before syncing.

  • How to sync more than one iPhone on same computer?

    I have multiple iphones under my family plan as well as iPad2.   I use one iMac mainly for my business & to update my iphone 4s, and the older intel imac  to update the other devices. 
    When we try to update/sync we get info from the last person who synced their iphone which is info that the other person may not want. 
    How does one set up two different 24" Imacs running Lion so that each person's iphone etc. is recognized and contains just their info when opening/syncing to iTunes. 
    I think I read somewhere that each person needs their own apple ID no./account? 
    If so, how does having each of us with their own account ID work if we all use the same computer?   
    Do we need to set up separate individual user accounts and when that person wants to sync to itunes they would log out of which account the computer is and log onto their own account before trying to sync to itunes?
    Thanks
    Bob

    It's easier if each person has their own AppleID, that way when the connect they can login to iTunes as their Apple ID and their apps, music, etc.. will sync. The only other way I know how of doing it is create user accounts for each of the people logging into the computer and then they will be forced to used their own AppleID's. To create accounts for each person go to System Preferences - Users & Groups and add users by clicking the + at the bottom of the column.
    BTW PLEASE complete your profile. We have a tough time helping if we don't even know what version of OS X you're running and what iMac you have. You can easily do this by clicking Your Stuff in the upper right then click Profile and add the pertinent information.

  • HT1296 Can you sync more than one iphone to the same computer without having the two combine all information?

    Am I able to sync to iphones to the same computer, but have both phones and information on both stay separate? I do not have a computer at this time and want to sync my phone on my brother's computer for backup purposes. Is this possible?

    Create a new user login (with a password) for your stuff.
    This way, your data won't get mixed up.

  • How to Save Contacts in my Iphone to Another Computer

    My Iphone as a bunch of Contacts on it which I originally transferred onto my Iphone from a PC laptop that has since died so now the only place my contacts are stored is on my Iphone. I now have a Macbook Pro (new) as well as I also have a new PC. What's the simplest ways to copy my contacts or transfer them from my Iphone to either the Macbook Pro or the PC or both so that I have them backed up i.e. in case I were to lose my phone or something like that. Thx.

    Enter at least one unique contact on your computer. When you first sync, you should get the option to merge the data.

  • HT1296 how do i separate the sync of the contacts on 2 iphones to one computer

    can someone please tell me the steps to use one computer to sync 2 iphones but keep the contacts separate. both sets of contacts have been merged. I have a dell not a mac thanx

    If you sync both phones with Outlook the contacts will merge (as you have found out).  The only way to do this would be to put your contacts in one group within Outlook, and his in another.  Then you could set your sync settings on the Info tab to sync contacts with selected groups and each choose only your group to sync with.  Your contacts would still be merged within Outlook, but you would only be syncing your contact group to your phone.
    The other option is to keep syncing contacts with Outlook on only one of the phones, and sync contacts on the other phone with a cloud service such as iCloud (by going to Settings>iCloud and setting Contacts to On) or Google (by setting up gmail as an exchange account on your phone as described here: http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740, and turning Contact syncing to On).  After confirming that you have successfully synced your contacts with either iCloud or Google, connect this phone to iTunes, go to the Info tab, uncheck Sync Contacts, and click Apply at the bottom.  This will stop the phone from syncing with Outlook in the future.

  • How Can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail?

    How can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail? In other words, I want to keep all of my iPhone contact information intact and make AOL "mirror" it (and not wipe it out when I sync thru iTunes).

    The iPhone supports syncing contacts with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with Windows Contacts with Windows, and with the Address Book or with the Entourage address book on a Mac.
    If you aren't currently using one of the supported applications on your computer for contact info - the supported address book application on your computer is empty, before syncing contacts enter one contact in the supported 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 with the supported application on your computer, which you want to select.
    After this, you can export the contacts from the supported application on your computer that is supported for import by your AOL online address book - if AOL includes such an option.

  • How to sync contacts in iPhone, iCloud, Exchange, Hotmail?

    I have contacts in four different places: Microsoft Exchange (on a Mac), Hotmail, iPhone 5s and iCloud. I have cleaned up all duplicates in all the lists but am not managing to get them all to sync. My iPhone has 660 contacts on it, iCloud (and Mac Contacts) has 502 and Exchange has 527. I can't figure out why there are contacts on my phone that have not synced with any of the other contact lists. I do not appear to have a group 'on my iphone' on the phone and there are no duplicates. How can I get all 660 contacts from my phone onto iCloud and Exchange?

    Hi rajeshkumarfromindia!
    If you already have an iCloud account, you should be able to simply turn on contacts in the iCloud section of your settings on the phone in order to merge your local contacts on your iPhone into the contacts of iCloud:

  • HT1296 I all ready installed itunes to my pc, which is a windows 7. It says it syncs, but it doesnt transfer nothing from my iphone to the computer. How can I fix this issue

    I all ready installed itunes to my pc, which is a windows 7. It says it syncs, but it doesnt transfer nothing from my iphone to the computer. How can I fix this issue

    And it won't by design and intention since you are not syncing your iPhone with your iTunes library on your computer. 
    If you have authorized the computer with your iTunes account with iTunes, with your iPhone connected - at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.  
    For contacts and calendar events, is Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 available?

  • How do you sync contacts between an iPhone 5 and a MacBook Pro without iCloud?

    How do you sync contacts between an iPhone 5 and a MacBook Pro, using OS X 10.9.2 and iTunes 11.1.5 without using iCloud?

    I do NOT trust iCloud because it duplicated by contact book 4 to 5 times and blew up my records.
    Lately I realized that my Contact Book contacts are not updated and having lesser records, and did a check. There are a lot of missing contacts, despite Synching.
    I sync iPhone 5s (and iPhone 5) to Mac Contacts and I do NOT use CLOUD. Now it seems that it forces me to use CLOUD.
    I don't want to use CLOUD because of the BAD experience.
    I just realized that I cannot sync my iPhone 5s (&5) Contacts with Mac Contacts anymore, there is no even a button for Contacts on iTunes.
    This is RIDICULOUS... Screw around someone, this company is doomed.
