I cannot transfer my contacts from iPhone to mac?

I cannot transfer my contacts and data from iphone to my macbook

I'm having the same problem with iPhone 4 and MacBook Pro. I purposely separated my contacts on the phone from the Mac's address book, but am going to get a new iPhone 5 and I don't want to lose my phone contacts, so I wanted to be sure to sync to the Mac. Doesn't anyone have a solution?
Thanks,

    Welcome to the world of Macs. See this introduction to Macs. It might be that you need to sync your iPhone with you MBP. To do this you would connect your iPhone to your MBP which should start up iTunes so you can sync music, vids, and possibly contacts.

  • How can I transfer contacts from IPHone to Mac?,

    First of all, thanks to everyone who will help me.
    I syncronised many times my Iphone 3GS with Mac and everything was OK (apart that I found all the contacts twice or 3 times in Iphone).
    I backuped Iphone sometimes on the Mac and others on ICloud.
    Last time, I found that the adress book in Mac was almost completely empty (only 10 or so contacts, all the groups empty) but I have everything in the IPhone.
    How can I now get to transfer all the contacts from IPhone to Mac?
    Thanks again
    Anna

    Deleted the contacts from where?  The device? the computer? both?
    Use the backup of the computer to put them back if they have been deleted off the computer.  Once that is done, they can be synced to the iPhone.

    How are you trying to transfer it?  Which applicaiton on the Mac are you using? How are you connecting the iPhone to the Mac? If you're using iPhoto what version of iPhoto is it and what system are you using?

  • Transfer of contacts from Iphone to Outlook

    I have an Iphone 3GS and Outlook on my laptop. Outlook has collapsed and while we have recovered the emails all the contacts have disappeared. I have the contacts on my Iphone, as up to the time Outlook collapsed I was syncing on a regular basis. How do I safely transfer my contacts from the Iphone to Outlook? I only ask as I know that Outlook overwrites the appointments in the Iphone calendar and I would not want Outlook to overwrite my Iphone contacts with an empty contact file. Many thanks.

    Put at least one contact in Outlook. This entry can be fake, that doesn't matter, the important point is that Outlook not be empty. With your phone connected, iTunes running, right-click in the device pane & select "Reset Warnings". When you hit the sync button, you should get a merge or replace prompt regarding your contacts, select merge.

  • How to transfer SMS and Contacts from iPhone to Mac?

    I want to transfer my all important SMS and Contacts to computer on Mac because the box is full for a few days.So i am looking for the effective program to help me back up my stuffs. Having said that, any suggestions for a good iPhone manager/iPhone transfer software,which is better to be free without payment.

    Google "PhoneView" or "iPhone Explorer" but you should be syncing your contacts with your Mac's Address Book anyway via iTunes or MobileMe. That's the way it is designed to be used.

  • Synching Microsoft Exchange/Outlook contacts from iPhone to Mac or PC

    At work, my wife's iPhone was synched through Microsoft Exchange Server to Outlook on a PC network. Now, we have no access to that server, but all the contacts are still living on the iPhone (under a separate email account. If that email account is deleted the contacts are deleted as well). There MUST be a way to synch those contacts back to either the Mac Address Book OR her laptop PC, right? I have researched everywhere and cannot find an answer. We have tried many times to synch the phone to both Mac and PC through iTunes with "Sync Contacts" checked, but no luck. They remain on the phone, but do not move over. I have also tried opening the SQLitedb file from the backup, but it is very cryptic, with different filed split among different databases. Any help saving her 1200 contacts would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks. I tried idrive lite and its pretty good. I was able to backup all of my contacts to the online site. The only problem is that they only provide the option to restore the contacts to another mobile device. Not to another computer. Its still better than nothing but I would still prefer to be able to transfer the contacts to my home computer so that I have the same contact list in my personal outlook on my home computer. I tried exporting the contacts from my work computer but my company uses outlook 2003 and at home I use outlook 2007 which wont recognize the pst files from the 2003 version. Also, outlook won't export export vcard or vsc files. It only provides the option to inport them. So far idrive lite is the best solution I've found but if anyone else has any suggestions I'd be very appreciative.
    Thanks.

  • Forced transfer of videos from iphone to mac

    I am using a macbook to sync my iphone with itunes.  Recently, it has been forcing me to transfer videos from my iphone to my computer each time I try to sync.  If I download a video on my computer and then transfer it to my iphone to watch, it won't let me do it until I say I want to transfer all purchases on my iphone to the computer.  If I don't do it, it erases them on my iphone.  I have unchecked the sync tv shows, so I don't understand why this is happening.  There are some videos I just want to watch on my iphone and not have to have them on my computer.  I have never had this problem until recently.  Does anyone know how to fix this problem?  Thanks for any help you can offer!

    Just found PhotoUpLink which allows you to send the full quality images to your email. What's quite good is that it allows you to select more than one image to send together. Not exactly what I was looking for, but does the job much better than the current Apple (non tethered) method.

  • How do I upload contacts from iPhone to Mac Address book

    I recently purchased both an iPhone and MacBook Pro. I have all my contacts in my phone, and want to sync them with address book on the mac. But when I go to Address Book on the laptop to import, the iPhone is not listed under devices. How do I access/sync the contacts from my phone?

    iTunes handles the sync. Post in the iPhone forums.

  • How to move contacts from iphone to mac's Address book WITHOUT DELETING?

    I want to move contacts from my iPhone to the address book in the computer. I'm scared about it deleting contacts in my iPhone instead as I've heard horror stories. Syncing is so freaking confusing???

    So far playing around with it back and forth. My understanding is the following;
    1. Add on iPhone / Sync / Adds to Address Book
    2. Delete on iPhone / Sync / Deletes from Address Book
    3. Add in Addres Book / Sync / Does not add to iphone (with no regards to Advanced option in iTunes)
    4. Delete in Address Book / Sync / Deletes on iPhone (with no regards to Advanced option in iTunes)

  • How do i transfer my contacts from outlook to mac?

    I have just gotten an iMac and need to transfer / reformat my contacts from Outlook to the mac address book.  Not sure how to do this...any suggestions?

    1. Use O2M from Littlemachines.com
    2. Can't tell you that one
    3. Yes and check with Nikon, or just use Apple's own iPhoto software
    4. With the help of third party apps, yes.
    5. Yes
    6. Depends on the file. If you want maximum compatibility, get MS Office for Mac
    7. If Epson offers drivers, yes. Check their website
    8. If formatted FAT...yes. If formatted NTFS, only with with help of third party drivers
    9. Yes
    10. Depends on what you mean by "normal movies" but yes, anything should be playable.
    11. Any software can crash, no matter who makes it.
