I have fixed all my contacts in my address book on my mac...how do I sync with gmail and my iphone?

how do I set my mac contacts list as prime and sync with gmail and my new iphone?

As far as I can see, the gmail contacts list will sync automatically when you access your gmail account.  As for getting it on the phone from a Mac, being  a PC user, I can't help you there.

  • How do i delete all my contacts in mail address book

    how so i delete all my contacts in mail address book, i have 1,042,000 blank contacts.

    In Lion, the user's LIBRARY folder is hidden. So, it's not visible automatically.
    Open Finder.
    At the menu items at the top of your screen, click on GO (where you see Finder, File, Edit, View, Go, Help)
    Next within the GO options, select the 'Go to Folder' option. You will see a window open to enter text.
    Enter ~/Library and click the GO button.
    Now you'll be in your user LIBRARY where you need to be to get to your address book file previously mentioned.
    You want to open the Application Support folder then from inside there open the AddressBook folder. Then you can follow Barney's instructions.

  • HT204150 Hi, I made a mistake by allowing facebook to download all my contacts in my address book. Now i need to clean my address book and keep only my original contacts. If i do it on my macbook, will it reflect on my iphone?

    Hi, I made a mistake by allowing facebook to download all my contacts in my address book. Now i need to clean my address book and keep only my original contacts. If i do it on my macbook, will it reflect on my iphone? Or will my iphone redownload all the contacts i deleted when i connect it to my macbook or through the cloud?
    when working with icloud, is there a primary device (macbok, ipad...) on which if the changes are made, they reflect on all other devices?

    I see.  If you are syncing contacts with iCloud on both your Mac and your iPhone, deleting a contact from either device will delete them from icloud.com and all other devices. 
    What's really going on with iCloud is that your contacts actually reside on the iCloud server.  Your Mac and iPhone are merely reading the current contact list as it exists on the server.  When you delete a contact (or make any other change) on either device, you are making these changes on the server.  As a result, all other devices "syncing" contacts with the same iCloud account will read this change.  When you log onto icloud.com, you are viewing the server from your browser.

  • Lost all my contacts in my address book

    I am running 10.2.8 All my contacts just disappeared from my address book (no crash or anything unusual). Can anyone give me advice on how to get them back? Or if it is possible. Thank you for any help.

    BuckisCool:
    Yes, as you are running Leopard you can bring it back using Time Machine. You can check out either in the forum links below. You can bookmark the first one for future reference.

    I can't remember the 10.2 nature of AddressBook, but hoping it is similar to 10.3, have a look in ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
    where you should see a file called AddressBook.data. With any luck there should also be AddressBook.beforesave or AddressBook.previous.
    Just to be safe first of all, select the whole folder AddressBook, and copy it and paste it to some other location, say in your Home directory and rename it AddressBookCopy.
    If you do have an AddressBook.previous, then opening the Address Book application itself, does 10.2.8 give you the option under File of Revert to Database Backup?
    If it does try that.
    If that option is not there, then close the AddressBook Application and then back in your Finder at the AddressBook files location, assuming you have AddressBook.previous sitting there, then;
    1. change the name of AddressBook.data to AddressBook.dataOLD
    2. then change the name of AddressBook.previous to AddressBook.data
    Open up AddressBook and see if your contacts have been restored. I hope this allows you to get your contacts back.

  • Does my mac automatically create an email contact list (that I can go to) as I compose emails or do I have to manually add contacts into my address book?

    Does my mac automatically create an email contact list, or do I have to manually add emails to my address book?

    Hi there. You email contact list is in your address book. These are from a list you make or by you emailing someone. If you are talking about setting up email so to send and receive. With a clean install that is done when you set up  you computer. Otherwise you have to open mail and go to mail preferences/accounts and set up your email account. http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201728  http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1277

  • HT1670 I've synced my ipad & iphone to my mac but i don't see my contacts on my address book on my mac?  Using mountain lion as my os if that matters.  New to mac so I need simple instructions please.

    Need help adding my contacts from my ipad, iphone, to my mac address book.  Have synced in itunes but don't know how to get to my desktop.  New to mac, so not very savvy, so keep instructions simple.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Does anyone know about the privacy policies regarding Notes written on iphone? What about if they are synced with Gmail and get sent to All Mail folder?

    I recently found all of my notes (written on my iphone) in my All Mail folder (of my gmail). I think this is because I had selected that my Notes by synced with my Gmail (under Gmail account settings). So I experimented by unsyncing it, then wrote a few more notes, and they stopped appearing in my Gmail All Mail folder. Then, to check, I re-synced it, and wrote some more notes, and they still have not shown up in my All Mail folder. I am freaked out about the unreliability of the systems regarding my personal notes I wrote to myself--both about personal things and to do lists... The fact that it is SO iffy and unclear (Where the notes go and why, where else they may have ended up), is super frustrating to me. What are Apple's privacy policies? Icloud's privacy policies? Gmail's privacy policies? Ergh.
    -Frustrated by unreliability and lack of clarity pertaining to personal documents and where they go and where they are stored (even after deletion).

    If you go to settings , notes , you can switch we're you want them to go for default. But both your gmail and iCloud have password protection so unless you give someone your password I'm positive nobody can see them. You should also have if you don't already a password on your iPhone to unlock it. Good luck

  • I have all of my contacts on my new iPhone, but none in my address book on my mac, and I can't get them to sync. Can someone help?

    I had a bunch of junk entries in the address book on the mac, so I never synced the 2 when I had an iPhone 3GS. I got an iPhone 4 and even after deleting everything in the bunk address book, wasn't able to sync the iPhone 3GS's contacts (it had them all under a group for my my expired MobileMe account). So I got the iDrive Contacts app and back them up out there then ported them down to the new iPhone 4.
    Confusing yet?
    So now I have all of my contacts on the new phone (whew!) but I still can't get them into my address book on the mac. What in the world am I doing wrong?
    Thanks for your help!!
    Kim

    Connect your iPhone 4 to your Mac.  iTunes should open.  Look on the left, you should see "Kim's iPhone" or something similar.  Click on it.  Then look at the top of the iTunes window, click on "Info".  You can tick the box to sync your contacts from here.  There are also options to sync with the cloud, with MobileMe, Google, Yahoo, etc, which allow automatic wireless syncing.  Be careful here though, it's very easy to accidentally duplicate your contacts!

    Restore them from your most recent backup, and/or re-sync via iTunes.

  • I have lost all my contacts after changing my icloud account name ...... please help

    can anybody please help ?? i have lost all my contacts after changing my i cloud name, i had to delete the old one and now i have lost all contacts ???

    Well there is a warning. However it is designed that your computer is the MAIN place for your contacts. The concept of syncing is that the phone gets "copies" of your real data (your phone is not the primary source, your computer is).
    So if your computers address book you sync with has no contacts, then it will erase contacts on your phone because you have no contacts (dumb yes, but that is how it goes).
    It warns when there will be major changes to your primary contacts (your address book on computer).
    Now if you had at least 1 contact on your computer, it would of "merged" them (thus bringing over what is on the phone and bringing that one over to the phone).
    The assumption is when you opt to sync contacts, that you have contacts on the computer you are syncing with and thus your primary place for contacts you maintain.
