HT1386 Trouble syncing my contacts from my Iphone to my New MacBook

I have already done the steps in itunes with selecting the sync contacts but nothing seems to be going across to my contacts on my address book. I'm using Mountain Lion. Any help would be greatly apriciated

The sync process for iTunes content is a one way transfer process only. The only data that is truly synchronized by definition via the iTunes sync process with a supported application on your computer is for contacts, calendar events, Safari bookmarks, notes, and reminders.
The iPhone is not designed or intended to be used as an external hard drive.
Transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link along with all other important data such as documents, photos, etc.

    It's a good idea to backup your Mac Address Book application and iCal Calendars application from each application. This way you can go back and pull out items if you lose something. I do this everyday.

    When you see the old number come up in the suggested choices look for a blue arrow to the right of the Contact. Tap the blue arrow and then tap Remove from Recents.

    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):

    Instead of turning on iCloud on your iPhone and Mac, you can sync using iTunes as explained in this article:

    How do I sync my contacts from my iPhone to my Mac using iTunes 11?

    I ran into this same issue this morning and from what I read within the Apple Communities, the only way to now sync is to use iCloud. 
    I set this up afterward and it seems to work. 
    Make sure you choose your calendar's under the iCloud secition of your calandar's.

    Do you use iCloud? On both devices - Go to Settings>iCloud and turn on Contacts, calendars, reminders, and whatever you want to sync in those settings.

    You can't. Not directly anyway. You might be able to import them to your computer and then sync them to the iPad but there is no way to transfer them over the air or by connecting the two devices with a cable.
    I know absolutely nothing about apps like this, but I did a very quick Google search and found this.

    The simplest way is via iCloud. Use the following instructions to setup iCloud on both devices and insure Contacts is turned on in the iCloud settings on both as shown in the pictures in the link: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html
    Another way is to sync using iTunes: iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer

    Hello ashlyn888,
    Based on your post it sounds like you would like to sync your iBooks content with your computer. I have located an article that may help you in this situation. While you can sync this data with your computer you can also use the sharing button to send PDFs using various sources:

    How do I back up the calendar and contacts from my iPhone5 to my new macbook pro(10.8.3)? I have backed up the phone, but it does not transfer the calendar or the contacts. If I check them in the sync area and then back up the phone again will they transfer or be erased? I am a bit gun shy since my previous macbook pro committed suicide and I lost a ton of info there.

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer.

  • How do you sync your apps from your iphone to a new PC?

    How do you sync your apps from your iphone to a new PC?
    When syncing you receive a warning that you are about to remove all content from your iphone (device)!!! I don't/can't have this happen!! I have the music and calenders etc on iCloud but the Apps don't get stored there (as far as I'm aware).
    Should I de-register the old PC first? Will that then signal iTunes that this is OK to syc the apps with the new??
    Thanks.

    You really need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    The iphone is not a backup/storage device

  • How do I transfer my music from my iPhone to my new Macbook Pro?

    I'm wondering how I can transfer my music, etc from my iPhone to my new Macbook Pro?

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The syncis one way -  computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    You should copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • How do I sync my contacts from my iphone to microsoft outlook (laptop)

    How do I sync my contacts and  my calendar from my iphone to my new laptop. I used Microsoft Office. I used to be able to add items in my phone and they would automatically be added to my laptop. Thanks.

    Do you still have your old phone? What kind of phone was/is the old one? If your old phone is an Android and you still have it turn it on. Hook up to WiFi, Go to your contacts and change them to google Contacts. Then go into your new phone and change it to Google Contacts as well.
    Then when Google syncs all of your contacts back to your phone, kill the Verizon Cloud / Backup Assistant on your phone and back them up to the very simple and fast Google.  Backup Assistant is not worth the time and effort to get things half right and is probably one of the worst apps I have ever seen.

  • 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
