HT1296 trying to sync iPhone contacts to mac book pro

I am trying to sync my iphone 5s contacts to my mac book pro. I am told to go to itunes and click the sync contacts tab but my itunes window doesnt have a sync contacts tab

I understand that there should be a 'sync' button somewhere in iCloud/calendar.
Mine doesn't have any reference at all to sync..  so how did we do that again?
I have OS X 10.9.1 on my iMac
I have apparently no other way of syncing calendars across all devices... right?
If not right, how can this be done? (since iCloud doesn't seem to have a built-in sync option...)
Before Mavericks, we did have that option, as I recall...

  • How to sync iPhone6 contacts to mac book pro

    Can anyone help me to sync the iPhone 6 contacts to Macbook Pro?

    Hello Koneti,
    To get your contacts off your iPhone, take a look at the first article to get them on your MacBook Pro by using iTunes to sync them. The other option is to use iCloud to wireless do it without having to use iTunes. All you need to do that is to sign in on both your iPhone and your MacBook Pro and they will sync up. Let me know if this works or if you need further assistance.

    Sounds like a possible permissions issue, try repairing the permissions using Disk Utility.
    You can open Disk Utility several ways.
    1. Use the Spotlight in the Upper Right corner of the screen and search for it, then click it to open it.
    2. Open a new finder window (File> New Window)
    - Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility
    3. Click on the Finder
    - Click 'Go' in the menu bar across the top of the screen.
    - Click Utilities, then double click on Disk Utility.
    Once Disk Utility is open there should be a column on the left side, the name of your hard drive should be listed there.
    (By Default it is named Mac HD or Macintosh HD)
    Click on it to highlight it.
    There should then be a few buttons you can click
    - Verify Disk Permissions
    - Repair Disk Permissions
    - Verify Disk
    - Repair Disk
    Click Repair Disk Permissions

    Hello skkmmayer,
    That is probably a lot of stuff you do not want on your iPhone. So this can be handled a few different was. For you current situation, you can delete the apps directly on your iPhone by holding on the app until it starts to jiggle and then tap on the X of all the apps that you do not want. The second thing you can do is before you sync with iTunes, look at the app section on your iPhone to know what gets transfer to it and you can deselect items that you do not want. Lastly, if you download content on your iPad and it is a universal app, you can actually download it directly to your iPhone by looking at your past purchases and download it directly from the App Store. Check out the articles below for more information if need further assistance.

    Yes you can.
    You can set different content for each iphone - music, video, apps, etc.

  • HT1296 i cannot sync iphone contacts to my macbook

    How do I sync iphone contacts to my macbook? i have tried the obvious: connecting the phone, going into iTunes and selecting Info and Contacts and sync and apply, but nothing happens on my Mac. Thank you for any feedback.

    Make sure you enter at least one unique contact (one that is not on your phone - make up an imaginary friend if necessary) in the Address Book on your Macbook before you sync, and choose the "merge" option when you sync. The contacts on your phone will sync to address book on your Macbook, and your imaginary friend will sync to your phone. You can delete him if you want.
