New iphone contacts don't sync to my address book

IF I add a contact to my phone (exp - Living Social) then sync my phone to my computer, the Living Social contact does not show up on my computer in my address book....

Hey,
I also have this problem - do you have any solution?
I have the most up to the date verion of system on my iphone and of itunes.
I had just tried to sync my contacts from phone to windows contacts, process was quick and uniterrupted. when I unplugged iphone from pc I checked windows contacs file and part of the contacts indeed was copied. But that were only those that were in the SIM card. All of those that I added manually on iphone is not copied onto the computer.
What can I do?

  • HT1296 new phone contacts won't sync to mac address book

    I was having this problem with my 4s, just got an iphone5.  New contacts and many calendar events I put into my phone don't come into my address book or calendar on my macbook pro.

    Check delault Contacts and Calendars. (Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars)

  • New contacts don't import to Windows Address Book groups

    I'm using Windows Address Book(WAB) as my contacts list on my laptop when I sync with the iPhone. I use WAB because it uses Groups and iPhone accepts it.
    Today I was browsing through one of my groups on the iPhone and added a new contact, while I was still in the group (Business). I just synced my iPhone and the contact didn't download onto my laptop! Its still on my iPhone and it shows up both in "Business" as well as "All Contacts", but its nowhere to be found on my computer after the sync.
    The first time I synced the iPhone, it was with my everyday settings: under Info -> Contacts -> All Contacts is checked.
    I tried syncing a second time; however, instead of checking "All Contacts", I selected each group individually such that I'm syncing all my contacts. And this time it worked! I was able to import the new contact into WAB.
    Weird! Any ideas why it would sync properly with method 2 but not with method 1?

    BigT,
    Contacts created on the iPhone should sync back to WAB using either method (using all contacts or selected groups). One feature that using "selected groups" provides is it lets you specify what group to sync contacts created on the iPhone back into in WAB.
    If you notice this happening again, you may want to reset your Sync History. To reset sync history:
    1. Open iTunes.
    2. On the Edit menu, click Preferences.
    3. Click the iPhone tab.
    4. Click the Reset Sync History button.
    Hope this helps,

  • Contacts do not sync from Mac Address Book to iPhone

    When I add new contacts in my Mac Address Book or modify existing contacts and then do a sync (using iTunes), the changes do not appear on my iPhone 3GS. Everything else seems to update but not the contacts.
    I have verified that I have sync contacts set, have tried unsetting and resetting it, tried removing all contacts from iPhone and redoing, tried replace contacts with those from computer, etc, etc. Still the same result - the old contacts on the iPhone.
    This seems to be since the latest OS updates (Mac & iPhone). It used to work fine.
    What to do?

    Wjosten,
    Finally back to you on this.  The delay was because the proposed operations were beyond my comfort zone - and I was fearful of loosing my contacts and groups (critically important).
    With more time available, I made an appointment with a "Genius" at the Apple Store (Paris Opera).  He could not fix it but gave me the good advice to contact Mobile Me and set up a chat support session.
    It took several hours but the chat support person guided me through the process of saving my data, and then trashing the files in the cache and library folders and a few others, and finally restoring things - group by group.
    Part of the problem was also conflicts between the calendars on my two MacBook Pros, my iPhone, and MobilMe.
    Long and complicated but things are now working.
    Thanks for trying to help.

  • Contacts won't sync to MAC address book

    I just bought a new macbook pro and have been attempting to sync it with my 3GS. Everything works but the contacts. I can't get the iphone contacts to appear in the mac's address book even though everything is checked in itunes?

    Hi,
    Try Resetting the Sync History from the iSync applications Preferences window, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23030

  • New phone does everything but sync iCal and Address Book

    I have Leopard on my MacBook Pro; my new iPhone works fine - except for sync of iCal and Address Book. iTunes behaves as if it is syncing; but then there is nothing on the phone.
    I've scanned the other sync-related messages, and nothing suggested there has helped (restarting both devices; clearing the iSync cache; etc.). I called Apple, and a nice young man walked me through many possibilities, ultimately suggesting I archive & reinstall Leopard. (He assured me it was like starting from scratch, and I'd have to reinstall my apps; of course that is not the case.) I did that; it didn't help.
    Sync does work with a new user I created; but I can't figure out how to get my iCal and Address Book files over there.
    Any suggestions appreciated!

    Sorry, missed it in the previous post.
    Couple of more items.
    Export all contacts from address book. vcards would work.
    Delete all contacts from address book.
    Quit out of address book.
    Open finder and go to your home directory/library/preferences.
    Drag the com.apple.AddressBook.plist file to your desktop.
    Open isync preferences and reset sync history.
    Open address book back up and enter a test contact into address book.
    Connect the iphone to the computer and try just syncing contacts replacing contacts on iphone.
    If this works, import all your contacts back into address book and sync back to iphone.
    Hope this helps.

  • Contacts won't sync to Windows Address Book

    When I first used my iPhone, it synced everything to Windows how it was supposed to, contacts and all. I setup MobileMe and it then created duplicate contacts on my phone. I deleted them all on MobileMe then it deleted them all from my computer. I uninstalled the MM control panel, and reset sync history in iTunes and synced and my contacts do not appear. Any help much appreciated.

    Oh, it's with the latest iTunes 8.2 that this occurs. With the older 7, it synced. Also, I have iPhone 3G with 3.0

  • What to do with between Set up as new iphone or Restore from this back up? i just want to transfer all my purchased apps and contacts to my new iphone?  don't want to screw thing up. thanks

    I plugged in the iphone 5 to PC via itunes what should i do  between Set up as new iphone or Restore from this back up? i just want to transfer all my purchased apps and contacts to my new iphone?  don't want to screw thing up. Please help..... thanks

    Is this a new iPhone?
    If so, when connecting a new iPhone to iTunes for the first time that has been used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the new iPhone, or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone.
    If you don't want to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device, select set up as a new iPhone. No existing data or settings will be erased or changed when selecting as a new iPhone. Not that difficult or difficult at all.

  • New iPhone contacts accidentally synced to Exchange server, how can I get them into my Mac?

    I've been adding a lot of contacts on my iPhone lately and now I wanted them synced to the Address Book on my Mac. This just wouldn't work for me, none of the new contacts would turn up on the Mac, no matter what I tried. After pulling my hair plenty it turns out I had the iPhone set up to sync contacts with the Exchange server from work instead of with my Mac.
    Question is, how do I get the contacts from either the Exchange account or the iPhone into my Mac?
    There doesn't seem to be a way of changing, on the iPhone, to which account an already added contact should sync. Or is there?
    I must say it's pretty ******** that you cannot just choose to import all contacts from the iPhone to the Mac. Or, at the very least, have the option to choose to what account you want to sync a new contact WHEN YOU'RE ADDING IT. As you can choose between all your calendars when adding an appointment.

  • My contacts don't sync on icloud on my iphone some contacts disapear on iphone and some contacts hae been merged together to make one contact when they are not related. Can anyone help?

    My contacts don't sync on icloud on my iphone some contacts disapear on iphone and some contacts hae been merged together to make one contact when they are not related. Can anyone help?

    If you log into Icloud.com, are all your contacts correct there? If the answer is Yes, I would then turn contacts OFF on your phone, and then turn them back on. Do not merge, but replace with Icloud content.
    This is usually the quickest way to edit a bunch of contacts, through the web interface.

  • The new iPhone software don't connect the all facebook friend with contact

    The new iPhone software don't connect the all facebook friend with contact

    When you go to Settings > WiFi, does it show that you are connected to your WiFi network? (If connected, a check mark will appear next to your network name.)
    Where does the "loading" statement appear?  How do you just get loading if you are connected to the Internet via cellular data network?
    Have you tried any other application that uses the Internet like Yelp or a bank app? What happens there?
    I wouldn't try the 5.01 update until you solve the connectivity problem! It's a very large update.
    You cannot compare yours to your sister's. Just deal with yours.
    Observations that may or may not help in your case:
    1) Sometimes WiFi doesn't work well even if connected if the cell signal is very weak or "o" (vs 3G) shows.
    2) Sometimes connection via cellular does not work if connected to WiFi but WiFi signal is very weak.

  • New iphone and trying to sync my contacts

    I just upgraded to iphone4 .... how can I get my contact information from my old iphone?
    Thanks

    The contacts on your old iPhone should be available on your computer. Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer. If your contacts are not available with an address book application on your computer, what would you do in the event your iPhone were lost or stolen?

  • Ios 8.1 phone contacts don't sync to MacBook Pro 10.6.8 using iTunes 11.3.1

    As noted in the header, any new contacts entered into my iPhone 5s will not sync to my MacBook Pro via iTunes when I try to sync via wifi or direct usb connection. What's up with that? New contacts that I enter directly into the laptop will sync to the iPhone, not visa versa. Anyone have any idea how I can fix this?

  • New iPhone contact into specific MobileMe addressbook group?

    Hello,
    I want to add a new contact, on the iPhone, directly into a specific group. It works at the moment by setting the sync via iTunes (which defaults any new iPhone contact into the group we want.
    Can it be set to do the same with MobileMe?
    Thanks
    (I'm not sure if we'll just use iTunes or go via MobileMe... it's easy enough to plug in the iPhone, just seems more convenient via MobileMe)

    On the Mac I just created a group in the Address book. It automatically syncs to the iPhone and to MobileMe. Sorry, I don't know if Windows' Outlook syncs a contact group to the iPhone (or to MobileMe).
    It's a pity there's no FAQ discussing the limitations of syncing, and the differences between syncing via iTunes and syncing via MobileMe.
