HT1296 My contacts on my iPhone 5 will not sync to my mac book?

I cannot get the contacts on my iPhone to sync with Outlook on my mac book.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • My iphone 4s will not sync on my mac; I'm running 10.4.11 and I do not have the intel processor; iphone does not show up as a device

    My iphone 4s will not snyc on my mac at home; I'm running 10.4.11 and do not have the intel processor; on my work computer  my iphone is recognized as a device in itunes, but my music library can only be located on my older mac at home.

    The iPhone REQUIRES OS X 10.5.8 or higher. This is clearly stated in the documentation and on the web site. There is no magic that will make it work with 10.4.x.

  • New contacts created on iphone 4s will not sync to outlook 2010

    all my updates are installed. but the contacts I create on the 4S will not sync to outlook 2010. anyone knows how to solve this?

    You need to restore the backup of your old hard drive to the new one. The iPhone is not a backup device, and syncing iTunes content is one way, from computer to iPhone. If you don't have a backup there is an alternative process that can get most of the data off of your iPhone, but it is complicated and cumbersome.

  • Contacts entered on iPhone 4S does not sync to iCloud

    Using iCloud with an iPhone 4S (version 5.0.1).
    When I enter a contact on the iPhone, it will NOT sync to iCloud.  However, when I enter a contact on www.icloud.com, it WILL sync to the iPhone.  And yes, I am entering the contacts in the correct group on my iPhone.
    Calendar entries sync properly in both directions, so it seems to be a Contacts-only issue...
    Any thoughts?

    I have the same problem with my iPhone 4S and new iPad. I tried both actions:
    1) Uncheck SYNC MUSIC, allow the music to be deleted from the device, and re-sync. Did not work.
    2) Check Match is off (it actually was off in both my iPhone and Ipad, as well as in iTunes). Nothing.
    Anyone with this problem has been able to solve it?
    I created a new "Test" playlist but did nt sync with any device.
    Thanks.

  • HT1296 my iphone 4 will not sync with my new mac book air. It says that syncing failed to start. Any suggestions?

    My iphone 4 will not sync with my new macbook air. It says that syncing refused to start. Any suggestions?  FYI - all my apps and software are updated.
    Thanks,

    Close iTunes. On your phone, double tap the Home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar, tap & hold any app until they all start to wiggle & a red minus sign appears. Tap the red minus sign to remove every app shown. Tap Home button when finished. Re-start your Mac, launch iTunes, connect your phone. See if things work now.

  • My iphone 4 will not sync or back up and it is asking me to restore.

    My iphone 4 will not sync or back up and it is asking me to restore.
    I just figured out that it hasn't been backing up on the cloud like I thought either.... so it hasn't backed up anything to my computer since April and I have no idea the last time it backed up in the cloud.
    Will this delete everything on my phone? How can I fix this without losing anything? I am mainly worried about my contacts.
    Also - this was happending before I installed 6... I installed 6 hoping it would fix it... not so much.

    This is a bad situation. Your iPhone is in a state which cannot be backed up, and the Restore will return iPhone to factory specs erasing it. You need to Restore your iPhone to get it working again. If you were experiencing problems before, maybe your iPhone is damaged. If still faulty, and you have Warranty or AppleCare take iPhone to Apple for evaluation. If no coverage and still faulty it may be time for new phone.

  • My iPhone 4 will not sync with 2012 Acura TL

    My iPhone 4 will not sync with 2012 Acura TL.

    Define "sync with". Does it establish a bluetooth connection for handsfree use?  Are you having a problem with contacts? The iPhone supports PBAP (Phone Book Access Protocol) for accessing contacts. PBAP will pull your contact list automatically at connection time. If your system wants you to transfer your contacts, it's probably using rSAP (Rrmote SIM Access Protocol). The iPhone does not support rSAP. Most modern smartphones don't base on my understanding, but I'm not an expert on Android so I won't swear to that.
    You may be able to get your system updated by the dealer.

  • Iphone:icloud will not sync with my new macbook

    I just recently got a MacBook pro and I have had an iPhone for about 2 months and all my contacts from my phone will not sync with my Mac. I have no clue what to do and I have tried everything hooking it up to the computer...turning the contacts thing on and off...and even registering the icloud again off of my phone.
    Please Help!

  • HT1766 4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.

    4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • My iPhone 4 will not sync my new voice memos from the "Voice Memos" app to my computer. This is frustrating, should not be so hard, can someone please help. I use PC with windows 7 with iPhone version 6.1.3 and iTunes most recent. Thanks.

    In the Music tab of iTunes, do you have 'Include Voice Memos' checked?

  • FIXED (for me at least): iPhone 3gs will not sync with Gateway NV79

    I’ve spent months trying to fix this miserable problem with getting my iPhone 3gs to sync with my new Gateway NV79. Gateway will not help. Their technical support is genuinely worthless. Microsoft blames Apple and Apple blames Gateway.
    My old iPod Nano syncs to my Gateway NV79 without a problem. I’ve tried all of the proposed fixes but other posters with no success.
    But I do believe I’ve discovered a real fix (for me at least). Here’s my setup:
    • Gateway NV79 running Windows 7 64 bit edition
    • iTunes 10
    • iPhone 3gs running OS 4.02
    The USB ports needs tweaking to get the iPhone 3gs to sync to the Gateway NV79. Follow these steps without your iPhone 3gs connected to the Gateway NV79:
    Step 1: Go to Control Panel
    1. Open Control Panel
    2. Click Hardware & Sound
    3. Click Power Options
    4. Make sure Balanced is selected and click Change Plan Settings
    5. Click Change advanced power settings
    6. Expand USB Settings
    7. Expand USB selective suspend setting
    8. Change On Battery setting to Disabled.
    9. Change Plugged in setting to Disabled
    10. Click OK
    Step 2: Go to Windows Explorer
    1. Open Windows Explorer
    2. Right-Click Computer (not your computer name)
    3. Click Properties
    4. Click Device Manager
    5. Expand Universal Serial Bus Controllers
    6. Right-click first Generic USB Hub
    7. Click Properties
    8. Click Power Management
    9. Uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
    10. Click OK
    11. Right-click second Generic USB Hub
    12. Click Properties
    13. Click Power Management
    14. Uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
    15. Click OK
    16. Restart your computer
    After your computer restarts, login and connect your iPhone.
    You must complete both steps. Step 1 is required for Step 2 to stick.
    There are a few things that may happen. iTunes may start syncing immediately and fail with an error. Don’t worry. If the sync fails the first time, restart the computer with the iPhone still connected. Now, iTunes will either take you to setup screen to connect your iPhone or the sync may restart. In my case, the setup screen came up and I DID NOT CHOOSE TO RESTORE. Pick the first option to add your iPhone. The sync will restart and may or may not finish. Don’t worry, if the sync fails, restart your computer again with the iPhone still connected and this time the sync will work.
    Here’s the problem: the iPhone 3gs will not sync with the power management enabled for the USB ports on the Gateway NV79.
    Good luck.

    If you cannot update your computer, you will not be able to sync your phone. The requirements are:
    Mac system requirements
    Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    iTunes 10.1 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
    iTunes Store account

  • My iPhone 4S will not sync to iTunes. I've download the newest version of iTunes several times but when plugging my phone in it says "The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later."

    My iPhone 4S will not sync to iTunes. I've download the newest version of iTunes several times but when plugging my phone in it says "The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later." HELP!

    If you're using Windows try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall the latest version of iTunes.  You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful.  Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

  • The contacts and calendar data on my iPod touch will not sync with my Mac

    I have a 2nd generation ipod touch, and an iMac running iTunes 8.2.1.
    I have been away from my mac for a few months and have entered a lot of contact and calendar info into my ipod touch.
    Now, when I try to sync the contacts and calendar data on my ipod touch with my mac, the data will not sync to my mac.
    Similarly, for the last couple months, the contact and calendar data on my ipod touch has not been able to sync with my mobileme account.
    I cannot afford to lose the contact and calendar data on my ipod touch.
    Can anyone kindly inform me how to fix this syncing problem without losing such data?
