Sync Contacts in Mac with iPhone

I've erased some contacts on my Mac, but when syncing with iPhone, those contacts appear on iPhone. How can I sync only the contacts I really have on my Mac?

Did you check to sync your contacts with Address Book on the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings? Also, make sure you meet the minimum system requirements for syncing your 4S, which include:
Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
iTunes 10.5 or later

Is there any way to sync Outlook for Mac with iPhone? I have tried everything but not successful. Apple says it is not possible to sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5. Any help will be much appreciated.

Is there any way to Sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5? Apple support says that only iTune can only sync contacts from "Contact" which is the default contact of Mac. If one is running Outllok on a Mac machine then it is not possible to sync the contacts with iPhone. It is strange that Apple distributors are promoting and offering machines with promise that Windows users can now run MS Office on Mac machines without any problem. While this is true, it is so strange that one cannot sync the contacts from MacBook Pro to iPhone5. If someone has found a way to sync contacts from Outlook to iPhone 5 please help as it is very frustrating to not be able to sync the contacts. Thanks, Amit.

Office 365 - How sync Outlook for MAC with Iphone

Hello everyone,
I just bought a Macbook air and I use a trial version of Office 365 for MAC (I will have to by it I guess). How can I sync my outlook (calendar, contacts, task) with my Iphone???
I had a pc before (using Office and Outlook 2007) and I was able throught Itunes to sync my contacts and my calendar. But not, I don't anymore this option in Itunes??? The only way is throught iCloud? I tried and I wasn't able to sync with Outlook.
I enabled 'Sync Services' in Outlook but it doesn't works grrrrr
It look likes if the only way is throught iCloud???? How it works???
I choose Office 365 because it must have a new Office for MAC in 2014 and it will be "free" for the Office 365 subscribers. That's why I didn't buy Office for Mac.
And what's the difference with the defaut calendar in Outlook 2011 for MAC (Office 365) with the calendar 'On my computer'? Something to do with the backup?
Thank you everyone, your help will be very appreciate

Can't sync Contacts from Mac to iPhone

Hi
I have prb with the MobileMe syncing since I updated my iPhone software to 2.0.2. I can add a new contact to my iPhone, and see it appearing in my Mac, but if I add a contact in my Mac Contact application, it just doesn't sync to my iPhone. Actually, it doesn't even appear on the MobileMe web page.
It was working before the update to 2.0.2. Weird...
Any idea/help ?
Thanks
Laurent

found this solution on this forum...maybe it will help.
01.) Plug iPhone into computer
02.) Sync the phone in order to back up your latest info.
03.) Restore iPhone in iTunes
04.) When restore completes, ignore the "set up as new phone" or "restore from backup" screen and just unplug the phone from the computer.
05.) Once unplugged, slide to unlock and tap on the email icon.
06.) Tap on your email type to setup (for me it was gmail)
07.) Enter your email information.
08.) Load your email and let it download a bunch of emails.
09.) Plug phone back into computer. The "set up as new phone" and "restore from backup" screen will pop up again.
10.) Choose "restore from backup" and select your last backup.
11.) Wait until complete.

Problems syncing Contacts from Mac to iphone - popup says script error MM

Hi, when I did my initial sync from my MBP to the iphone all worked great. But when I made some changes to my Address Book on the MBP yesterday and did a manual sync, those changes were not picked up by the iphone - I tried several times So I logged onto MM to check, clicked on the Contacts icon and got a busy symbol. The folder headings of my address book appeared then I had a popup appear to say that a script was having a problem on the page and I could continue or stop it. I tried continue a few times and eventually had to stop it, the busy symbol just continued. My contacts were never displayed. I tried it this morning and it is the same, is this the cause of my syncing probs and if so how do I fix it.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Are you syncing contacts direct with the Address Book on your Mac via the iTunes sync process, or over the air with MM on your iPhone?
If you are doing the former, this has nothing to do with a problem with your MM online address book.
If you are doing the former, try resetting the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder.
Quit iTunes and launch iSync.
At iSync preferences, select reset sync history.
Restart your Mac and try syncing with iTunes again.

How can i sync contacts outlook 2010 with iphone 4 data

how can I get my data to update or swap on my phone and in outlook 2010. Contact data specifically.

Syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
If your Outlook address book includes contacts as well as your iPhone, you will be provided a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select. The contacts between the two will be kept synchronized with following syncs of your iPhone with iTunes.

How to sync contacts on iPad with iPhone 5c

You should be syncing regularly with a cloud service or your computer.

Syncing contacts from Mac to iPhone via iCloud

Ok, second time to type this up, as the program cannot remember what I typed (I changed my devices).
My wife and I shared our mobile me account on our MacBook pro. She logged in with her account, and I had mine. I updated to lion. No problem very smooth. Then I set up my wife with her own iCloud account and purged her account and her iPhone 3GS of the mobile me account. Still, everything worked out great. My wifethen notified me that she has no contacts which messes up a lot of stuff. No problem. I transferred the address book data to her part of the computer. Not an easy task considering that it was 31mb and I no longer had the ability to drop it into iDisk.
Ifigured that iCloud or a simple sync would put all the contacts back on. No joy. A sync would not restore the contact database. It says that iCloud is syncing it. how long does it take? And why can I not simply syn it through iTunes? But iTunes gave me an error and would not sync it. So, what am I doing wrong? Her address book has all her contacts, and so did data is there.

Why won't iCloud recognize my contacts? That is the question I intended to ask. I checked iCloud.com, and it does not show any of the contacts in the address book that are in the address book. Did the usual check and turned on everything in Preferences that I know of. Still, it won't see it. Trying to go through iTunes. Maybe I missed something there.

Unable to Sync Outlook Contacts of Office 2011 for Mac with iPhone 5

I have been struggling to sync my Outlook 2011 for Mac with my iPhone 5 via iTunes. Apple support says it is not possible. All thier stores say you can use Office on Mac Machines but no one says that you cannot sync contacts with iPhone. Why in the world Apple does not allow to sync contact from Outlook to iPhone? The apple support say that in the earlier version of iTune it was possible but in the current version it is not possible. Has some genius found a way to sync the Outlook 2011 contacts with iPhone using iTune or any other external software? I will be grateful for any help in the matter.

The comment from Apple support was partially true. If you search the web you will find that Office 2011 (latest Mac version of Office) has never been able to sync with an iPhone. Older versions (maybe), and Windows versions possibly, but not the latest Mac version. MS changed the format of just about everything in Outlook 2011. It was MS that broke the iTunes ability to sync, not Apple.
So, even though Office 2011 works just fine on a Mac, you loose the ability to sync with your iPhone. Thank the folks in Redmond for this.

HT3529 I have lost all data on my iphone and the back-up is too old. How can I restore iMessage chats on my iPhone 4? I have all the chats on my Mac, but there seems to be no sync function from Mac to iphone. Please advice.

Hi,
I have lost all data on my iphone by mistake. I needed to restore the phone and I didnt realize my back-up was 1yr old, and now the phone is restored and I've got a year old contact list and iMessage chat history. Luckily my iMessage on the Mac is still valid and has all the chat history. My question is how can I restore iMessage chats on my iPhone 4 from my Mac? I have all the chat history on my Mac, but there seems to be no sync function from Mac to iphone. Please advice.

If things seem to be going haywire with your phone, it seems that it MAY be a software issue.
Now, that being said, that does not necessarily mean that it is a virus. Software issues do happen sometimes. It is probably just coincidence.
What you need to do is restore the device using iTunes. This will fix any software issues. After you have done this, you can restore from an iCloud backup.
iCloud does not back up the actual software, so no, the "virus" would not have gotten into the backups.
The link below provides steps on restoring your device using iTunes as well as how to restore from an iCloud backup.

Syncing contacts from iTunes to iPhone 4s -got all my girlfriends contacts

Syncing contacts from iTunes to iPhone 4s
I upgraded my iPhone 4s to the latest os yesterday. My girlfriend and I use the same installation of iTunes, and for some reason I got all of her contacts copied to my phone. During the installation of the new os, I was told there was a conflict with the contacts and I was prompted to choose between to different sets of contacts both bearing my name but my girlfriends picture (!). I tried to skip this stage and moved on with the installation, and when I was done our contacts were all mixed up. When I later installed the new os on her iPhone (3), she got all of my contacts!
Is there a way to show iTunes what to put in which phone?

Hello Hylan,
There are a few possibilities.
First, make sure both iTunes and the iPhone are up-to-date.
Make sure the "Sync Address Book Contacts" box is actually checked in the Info tab for the iPhone.
You can try resetting the Sync history on the Mac:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
It could be an issue with the Contact database on the iPhone.
If your contacts data on the Mac is current (no contacts on the iPhone that are not in Address Book). you can replace the Contact data on the iPhone with a fresh copy from the Mac.
At the bottom of the Info tab for your iPhone, you'll find a checkbox for Contacts under Advanced -- this will replace the contact data on the iPhone when you sync. It is a one time checkbox and will be unchecked automatically after the sync.

Can I sync contacts via iTunes with Mavericks?

I would like to sync contacts and calendars via iTunes (wifi or not) to/from my iMac and not use iCloud. Can I do this? If so, how?
Thanks in advance,
C.

Make sure neither the phone nor the Mac have the Contacts/Calendars options enabled in their respective iCloud configurations, have the Mac's iTunes set to sync contacts/calendars up with the device (look in the respective tabs of the device's window),
except this option is currently not available with Mavericks (as the OP asked).
