I want to copy my contacts on my iPhone to my MAC. I also want to copy my photos on my MAC to my iPhone.
Any suggestions?

  • Iphone/mac syncing

    iPhone is not syncing with macbook

    First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone'  or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

  • Repeated iPhone/Mac sync fails, confiscated ringtones

    Hi - here is a record of the sync fails' issues happening to me now between my 2011 iPhone 4 and my 2009 MacBook:
    after restoring it because it kept failing to sync music playlists or failing to play songs in the order I set up, it now fails to load the ringtones I purchased on iTunes in the past 4 years... so it looks like iTunes is confiscating them from me and I have no intention to switch to Apple's ****** default ringtones that are now the only ones available in my phone's Sounds settings, against my own choice.
    I tried:
    - re-syncing my phone again (as usual to my Apple MacBook)
    - switching my phone off before and after re-re-syncing
    - checking ringtone sync boxes on and off before re-re-re-syncing
    but it still doesn't help.
    In addition, iTunes continues to generate photo duplicates and re-importing photos I previously deleted, and so every sync is increasingly annoying and I also noticed my iPhone kept having more and more wifi network connection interruptions than ever.
    If these multiple sync ****-ups are Apple's strategy to push customers to upgrade to newer iPhones, it rather makes me feel like buying another brand's phone the next time around since iPhones aren't really the best deal on the market any longer.
    In addition, since Apple never rewarded my loyalty for buying not only  its laptop computers and phones, but also its software, apps, spare batteries and tunes, I am seriously doubtful iPhone may still be the best sync match to MacBooks.
    I hope a better user experience can soon prove me wrong, but it really hasn't happened yet. I hope Apple is working on solutions instead of letting these problems, fails and customer discontent grow.

    I shared my experience, hoping to find a solution through other users dealing with the same problem... found threads with the same issue appearing three years ago, with users suggesting solutions such as renaming or reloading the ringtones.
    In the meantime I rebooted and re-synced my iPhone again a few times, and it seems Apple still has no solution to this recurring problem despite a recent software update.
    If you have better news, please let me know.

  • Accessing Voice Memos from iPhone when the iPhone is Sync'd to another Mac

    Don't know if this is possible but...
    - Have an iPhone 4 sync'd to my home iMac and iTunes account - all good with lots of music sync'd (~16Gb worth)
    - Want to use the Voice Memo functionality for recording work stuff
    - Want to download/sync these Voice Memos to my work MacBook Pro that I have already authorised to access my home iTunes store account
    When I attempt to sync music (only selecting 'Selected Playlists..." and check Include voice memos) I get a message stating that "all my current music will be replaced with songs from your iTunes library".......of which there are no songs on my Work MacBook Pro. So in effect I would lose all music already on my iPhone.
    So it seems that I can only utilise the voice memos functionality (ie: download the voice files to a mac) on my iPhone 4 on the Mac/iTunes it is originally sync'd with. Seems rather counterproductive to me.
    Does anyone know a way to do this without having to use third party software?
    Thanks in advance!

    An alternative would be to switch to manual management of your iPhone.

    My iphone / mac no longer recognize they are the same Itunes library.  When I try to sync my phone now, it wants to erase everything and replace it with the computers itunes library.  I have purchased items on the phone I don't want to erase them from the phone.  The phone backs up fine, but won't sync.

  • IPhone/Mac/Mobile Me Sync issue - Contacts / Calendar

    I seem to have lost all of my contacts and birthdays after syncing my iphone, mobileme and my mac. The only location which still has contacts is my iphone. Since contacts went missing, all of my birthday settings in my calendar are also gone...Any thoughts on what I need to do to restore my original calendar / contacts settings. This iPhone transition with mobile me has been somewhat complicated!

    Prior to activating Mobileme you need to sync your iPhone to your computer to have all your contacts and birthdays on your computer. When you turn on Mobileme, you must sync the data to the cloud (Mobileme) from your computer first. Then when you turn on Mobileme syncing on the iPhone, it will pull your calendars and contacts from the cloud. Make sure you verify that the calendar is in the cloud before syncing the iPhone.
    Do you have Mobileme syncing turned on on your iPhone? If not, you're in luck with the contacts. You can turn off Mobileme on the computer, and have the iPhone contacts sync to address book through iTunes. Make sure you have at least 1 contact in address book before syncing.
    If Mobileme is on on your iPhone, I don't know a solution. One thing for future reference, once you get things restored, is to use the functionality built into iCal and address book to create backups of their data. That way, in case a problem like this arises again, you can revert to a backup and retrace the necessary syncing to Mobileme steps.

  • New icloud calendar created on iphone not syncing to icloud or mac

    OK from the SBIFF website at sbiff.org (if you love film, check it out!) I downloaded their full ics calendar of events to my iphone 5 calendar.  On the iPhone 5, I imported that calendar data into a new iCloud calendar called SBIFF.  All events imported to iPhone with no problem and it's great!
    However, I cannot seem to get the calendar events to sync to iCloud or my MacBook Pro except for the calendar name itself.
    My MacBook Pro (10.8.2) is set to sync with iCloud and does so without a problem - so far.  iCloud.com calendar also shows all of my calendar events which are synced between Mac and iPhone.
    The new calendar "SBIFF" on my iPhone shows all of the events, my MacBook Calendar shows ONLY the calendar name in Calendar sidebar in the iCloud section (and it is selected - checked).  None of the events are synced over from the iPhone.  Also, none of the events show up in iCloud either although, once again, the calendar name "SBIFF" shows up in the sidebar.
    So, help me out here.  Why aren't the events showing up in iCloud or in my Mac calendar?  As far as I can tell all settings on iphone, Mac and icloud are correct.

    Thanks for reply.
    In Settings>iCloud, my account is set up and appears under heading "iCloud."
    In Settings>Mail, Contacts & Calendars, same account listed under heading "iCloud."
    In Calendar list in iPhone Calendar app, new calendar is listing along with all others that are part of iCloud account.
    All other calendars in that account sync, just not this new one with ics data imported to iPhone.

  • Does anyone know if my G3S Iphone will sync Itunes on my MAC Power PC G4, OSI0.4.11?  If it will, what operting system does the Iphone need?

    My apologies, I read your post the wrong way. I see now that the original poster was confused about the specs and you were simply responding with the appropriate info.
    I've gotten defensive after reading the forums. The forums are full of posters just looking to prove someone wrong or stupid, rather than being helpful. I shouldn't have assumed you were one of those people. Sorry.
    I did my homework and discovered that my PowerPC will run Leopard. It can be purchased for $129 by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE. This is much cheaper than replacing my laptop.
    I hope to upgrade my Mac soon, though! Can't believe this thing is still ticking. I love Apple.

  • Whenever I connect iPhone 3GS to sync with Mac sync fails to open

    Whenever I connect iPhone 3GS to sync with Mac sync fails to open. Brand new are there any upates I am unaware of?

    "sync" fails to open?  Do you mean, iTunes?
    If you manually open iTunes, does your iPhone show up in the left column?
    If so...
    Click on your iPhone in the left column of iTunes.
    Click on the "Summary" tab in the right colum of iTunes.
    Scroll down to "Options"
    Select "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected"
    Apply
    My apologies if I misunderstood the question.

    Connect your phone to iTunes, then right-click on the name of your phone on the left sidebar and select Reset Warnings.  Then sync again and you should get a warning listing the problem files.
