I CANT SYNC MY CONTACTS FROM IPHONE 6 TO IMAC

i have done step by step every single thing that support system says , i have tried iCloud ,outlook, everything but still cant import my contacts from iphone6 to my imac. i have the OS X Yosemite version. PLEASE i am trying for 3 hours

From what you are describing the contacts in your phone are actually not making it to  iCloud. If this is the case it makes sense for them not to show up on your Mac either. You said you keyed them in manually so they should have automatically been available on iCloud. I don't have any other suggestions to give you as this feature usually just works if iCloud is on and you're signed in.

  • Can't sync my contact from iPhone to iPad Air

    Can't sync my contact from iPhone to iPad Air.
    If I add a new contact in iPad Air it appears on iPhone. If I delete this new contact on iPhone it is also deleted on iPad. But the whole contacts of iPhone cannot be imported in iPad.
    Please help me! Who has any idea?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Please try the following…
    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.

  • How do i sync my contacts from iPhone 4s to my mac?

    I am trying to sync from contacts from iPhone 4S to my mac.  I thought it would all work with iCloud, but it doesn't.   Can someone help me please?  thanks

    Using iTunes, back up your iPhone 3G by rightclicking the name of your iPhone that appears in the "devices" tab on iTunes when you have plugges it into the computer. Once the back up has been completed, plug in your iPhone 4S and select "restore from backup". All of your files on your iPhone 3G should be successfully transfered to your iPhone 4S.

  • HT1386 simple and easy way to sync my contacts from iPhone 3gs to Macbook Pro that both my partner and I use. Have tried with photos and and only 350 of 3,500 items have synced. Remember simple and easy, I'm still learning-slowly.

    Simple and EASY way to sync contacts from 3gs iPhone to MacBook Pro. Partner and I both use macBook. I have tried and get a message that only 350 of 3,500 item have syncd- all photos. I'm still learning and am very afraid of doing something that will wipe out all info,contacts and photos. Entering this site, the account shows my partners name, but accepts my other information.

    First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
    Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
    Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
    What computer do you have?

  • ICloud only sync selective contacts from iPhone

    This problem has been driving me crazy for the past 2 weeks.
    Allow me to give you the full story so that you can help me.
    Since iCloud became online I had no issues syncing outlook on Windows XP , iPhone and iPad contacts , calendars and notes. However, for the past 2 months i noticed that outlook is not syncing properly as the new contacts created on the iPad and the iPhone were not being transferred but I didn't bother as the iCloud / iPhone and iPad always had all the updated contacts.
    My problems started when I got a new windows 7 laptop, I exported the outlook contacts from the windows XP machine to the outlook in the windows 7 machine and installed iCloud control panel in the new laptop and had outlook sync with iCloud through the iCloud control panel hoping that I will end up with contacts in outlook matching those in iCloud.
    HOWEVER , what happened is that my contacts on iCloud got messed up and ended up messing my contacts on the iPhone and iPad within few minutes. So I went to iCloud.com , deleted everything .... disabled iCloud on the iPhone, used the latest iPhone backup (which had good contacts) and then enabled syncing with iCloud hoping that the contact list will go from the iPhone to iCloud.................. what happened is that out of 1779 contacts only 210 got to iCloud while the rest remain in the iPhone only.
    I tried several times to delete the contacts from iCloud, reset the iPhone and establish the iClound link again but to no avail the same number of contacts only goes to iCloud. I also got an app (contacts kit) and saved my iPhone contacts as vCard and went to iCloud.com to import the vCard file it but i got an error relating to exceeding some limit (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4489?viewlocale=en_US) so this is not going to work for me either.
    This is really frustrating   as it used to be fine but now for some reason it's not working ................ any ideas or help on how to transfer the full contacts from the iPhone to iCloud will be much appreciated.
    Thank you all

    Make sure you created a combo vCard backup of your master contact list in a compatible format (not all vCards are compatible).  If you're not sure, use the app My Contacts Backup to create one.
    Then go to iCloud.com from your computer, open your contacts, click All Contacts, select any single contacts and press Control-A to select them all (they should all be highlighted), then press your Delete key to delete them.  Confirm that the contacts are all deleted.  On your phone, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and make sure you have selected iCloud as your default.  (If you don't have multiple accounts syncing contacts on your phone you won't see this setting and can skip this step.)  Then open the email and tap the vCard attachment to import your master contact list back to your phone, and to iCloud and your other devices.

  • ICloud won't sync all contacts from iPhone to iCloud

    Hi,
    So I have 1090 contacts on my iPhone 4S. I have iCloud set up and when I go to iCloud.com or when I sync my MacBook Air (Lion) with iCloud only 590 contacts are merging. I have turned iCloud on and off on my iPhone to see if this would trigger a new sync but the same amount of contacts seem to merge. Does anyone have any idea how I can get all my contacts from my iPhone to merge to iCloud?
    Thanks so much community!!!
    Cheers,
    Colin

    I know this is an old thread, but since I had the same issue and finally solved it, I'll post this for future reference.
    I had over 300 contacts on my iPhone 4 but only about 60 were showing up in iCloud. Saw lots of discussion, tried a few things, but here is the fix that worked for me.
    1. Got to Settings
    2. Go to iCloud
    3. Slide Contacts option to Off (You'll get a warning, make sure you choose to save the Contacts on your phone)
    4. Close out of Settings
    4. Wait 5 minutes or so
    5. Go back to Settings\iCloud
    6. Slide Contacts option to On (You'll get a message asking to merge Contacts, say yes)
    7. Go to Settings\iCloud\Storage & Backup
    8. Select Back Up Now
    That should do it. All of my iPhone Contacts are now in iCloud

  • Syncing Exchange Contacts from iPhone to outlook 2003

    I just recently left a company where I had Exchange set up on my iPhone for company emails, contacts, calendar, etc. I saved quite a few contacts that I pulled from Exchange to my iPhone. I just recently left the company and want to delete the email folder from my phone. The problem is, I don't want to lose the contacts. I just "turned off" wireless sync of my calendar and it deleted my entire calendar. How can I sync these contacts back to my personal PC? I have it set up to sync contacts in iTunes but they won't sync. Any help would be appreciated.

    Not possible. Contacts synced over the air with an Exchange account or with a MobileMe account are kept synchronized with the server only. You can't sync contacts direct with a supported application on your computer via the iTunes sync process that were downloaded from the Exchange server and kept synchronized over the air with the Exchange server. It is possible to sync contacts over the air with an Exchange account or with a MobileMe account and sync contacts direct with a supported application on your computer via the iTunes sync process, but these contact data stored are kept separate.

  • Sync added contacts from iPhone to Address Book

    As I am out and about I add new contacts on my iPhone. But when I sync with my Mac they are ignored. This contrasts with other mobile phone suppliers who do a 'sync merge' as standard updating both the phone and PC with added and amended contacts since the last sync. How can I get iTunes to execute this most basic of functions?

    I posted earlier today, asking how to get my contacts to sync both ways, or IF they can sync both ways, but so far, no one has replied. I updated my contacts on my imac (10.6.7) and when I try and sync my iphone4, it tells me if I go forward with the sync, it will effect at least 25% of my contacts on my computer, so the iphone, with the older contacts, is going to overwrite those in my address book on my mac. 
    I have been searching other posts to see if I can find the answer, and found this post here.  So I am wondering if resetting the sync history would help me?  I went to isync and clicked on it but the message is a bit unclear, to me anyway ;-)   It sounds like resetting the isync history will cause me to loose some information?  Can you clarify?  Or help me sort out how to get the updated contacts from my mac's address book into contacts on my iphone4?

  • Contacts from iPhone to iMac

    I just bought a new iMac yesterday and I already have an iPhone 4S, when I got it home I installed the new Mavericks OS and it asked me to update iTunes which I did. I wanted to sync my phone contacts to my new iMac so that I can Facetime peoplefrom home but I do not know how to do this...? I've looked around on forums and they all say I need to click the Info tab on iTunes but the new iTunes does not seem to have this... I also found some people saying to do it through iCloud, but I don't know how to upload my contacts to iCloud...?
    Note: I do have my contacts turned on in my iCloud setting on my iPhone 4S.

    iCloud enabled on both devices.
    iPhone 4: Logged into iCloud, and Contacts selected in iCloud preferences.
    iMac: Logged into iCloud, and within iCloud Preferences, Contacts checked.
    Works perfectly for me.

  • I cannot sync contacts from Iphone to Imac

    I am syncing my Iphone 4s to my new Imac and my contacts arent showing up anywhere? What am I doing wrong?

    Have you chosen to sync Contacts in iTunes?  If your contacts are not showing up in the Address Book on whatever Mac you're using, the obvious thing to check is the sync in iTunes.  Be careful to make sure that you sync from the phone to the computer and not vice versa.
    Just to be safe you might backup the phone to iCloud first so that your contacts will be in the iCloud.  Use this for instructions:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859
