Sync from iPhone 4 to Address Book on MacBook Pro

Hi, does anyone know how to sync my contacts from my iPhone 4 to the "address book" on my MacBook Pro? It seems like it should be a simple process, but I can only find info on how to do it with Outlook. I realize that my contacts sync via iCloud, but I would like to be able to access them on my address book on my computer.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance!!!

I have done what the following says (copied and pasted from another thread) and it is still not working.
"The sync process for contacts with a supported address book application on your computer is a bidirectional or true sync process, or should be.
If any new contacts added on your iPhone or an edit of an existing contact does not make it to the Address Book when syncing, try resetting the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder."

  • Group sync from iphone contacts to Address Book

    I have read numerous entries regarding this but I have not been able to solve the problem. My Palm was never this difficult to synch. Has anyone been able to come up with a universal solution for new groups in Address Book not synching with groups in Contacts in the iPhone? After I first synched the phone, the existing groups in Address Book showed up, but all new groups since then do not transfer to the phone. I have reset the synch software, and rebooted the mac to no avail. Many thanks.

    tnarg nosegref,
    When you say you reset the sync software, did you follow all the steps in article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1865 ? If not, it's the most thorough method of doing so.
    In addition to this, have you tried backing up your Address Book as an archive, and then reimporting it, overwriting the existing contents?

  • I lost contacts on IPHONE and in Address Book on MacBook Pro

    Hello,
    I just update my iOS5 on my iphone and my contacts are missing out of the iphone and MacBook Pro.
    I tried a restore and nothing..... did they go to ICLOUD and how do I go to the clouds to get my contacts back?
    thank you,
    angel

    If you go to itunes/settings/devices you should see the backup of your phone. This backup contains, among other data, also your contacts. But only if you made that backup before you synced your new contact and you did not sync the phone after that. If this is the situation, disable autosync in itunes, right click on the phone in the device list and choose restore from backup.

    If you managed to do so, set up at least one contact and event on your computer before you sync your data to the phone again, to be able to get the "merge the data" message.

    Did you backup your mac lately? In that case you could look for the iphone backup folder and copy it back to your HD.

  • How do I upload contacts from iPhone to Mac Address book

    iTunes handles the sync. Post in the iPhone forums.

  • Address Book on MacBook Pro does not sync with IPad or Iphone

    I have a MacBook Pro with OS10.7.4.  When I add a new address it does not sync with my IPad or IPhone.  However, adding an address on the IPad or IPhone it will appear on the IMac Pro.  I have checked to make sure that the Address Book on my IMac is directed to ICloud.  I also tried to uncheck the Address Book on ICloud, recheck and restart the computer with no success.  What am I missing?

    It just started to sync.  Forget the question.

  • For everyone who can't sync your iPhone with Yahoo Address Book

    Hello all,
    I was having trouble syncing my Yahoo address book with my iphone. I kept getting the "iTunes could not sync with Yahoo! Address Book because an Internet connection is not available." window.
    This is what I did to solve the problem, at least for me.
    Add your Yahoo account to iPhone under “mail”. Make sure you use your full e-mail address, [email protected]
    Launch iTunes first, then connect the iPhone.
    Enter in your full e-mail address ([email protected]) and password in iTunes.
    Allow the following applications to access the Internet (I’m using a firewall):
    iTunesHelper Module
    iTunes
    AppleMobileBackup.exe
    AppleMobileSync
    iTunes then synced with Yahoo every time.
    This was done on Windows XP. I do not think this problem occurs on a Mac.

    Hey playadelcarmen,
    Make sure the Mac is updated, click the Apple> Software Updates.
    Use the steps in this article to reinstall iTunes and the Apple Mobile Device Service.

  • Cannot sync iphone 3G contacts and address book using MacBook Pro.  What can i do?

    I have an iPhone 3G and a MacBook Pro with latest operating system.  Have also set up iCloud on Mac.  iPhone is not on IOS5.  Within the last day, the contacts disappeard from phone.  Tried to sync using itunes, including the option to copy contact content to phone.  Also powered off the phone to see if a reset would work.
    Does anyone have an idea as to how to copy / sync contacts to phone when the software does not seem interested in doing it automatically?
    Thanks

    To gain Internet access for the MacBook Pro, you will either need your own Internet service provided by an ISP or access to another Wi-Fi network that has Internet service.
    Your MBP has a built-in wireless adapter, called an AirPort Extreme Card. This adapter is able to connect to just about any Wi-Fi network available today.
    If you opt to get your own Internet service, most ISPs will provide you as a minimum an Internet modem. Some also offer a wireless version of this device. For those that do not, you will also need an Internet router (wired or combination wired/wireless) in order for your MBP's wireless to connect.

  • Address book on macbook pro isn't syncing

    Hi all,
    I just discovered that the Address Book on my MacBook Pro isn't as up-to-date as the one on my iMac. I fairly recently updated to Snow Leopard. Is there something I can do to solve this? I sort of thought that everything was supposed to sync--every Mac and mobileMe.
    Thanks so much for any help.

    It just started to sync.  Forget the question.

  • Triangulating iCal sync from iPhone to OS 10.6.8 MacBook (no iCloud)

    If I sync my iPhone calendar to iCloud, then connect my iPhone to Macbook (OS 10.6.8) via USB, why don't the calendars sync?  That is, why wouldn't the calendar data on my iPhone "upload" to my MacBook via USB?

  • How do I sync my iPhone calendar entries back into my MacBook Pro Calendar?

    I can't get appointments scheduled via Siri to update or sync bact to my MacBook Pro.  I have iCloud, and I have iTunes synced, but the appointments scheduled in iPhone's Calendar do not appear in the MacBook Calendar.

    If you are syncing your calendar with iCloud on both your phone and your MBP, check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the Calendars section) to be sure you have selected your iCloud calendar as your default.  Then try adding a new event on your iPhone calendar and see if it syncs to your MBP now.

    Follow the steps listed here under the section titled "External Drive".  Once you find the location of the iTunes Media folder you can transfer it over a netork connection, rather than using an external drive.

  • Music is not syncing from ipod touch (gen 2) to my macbook pro?

    i just got a new laptop and am trying to transfer music onto my library but its not syncing/tranferrring?

    That is true.  The music sync is one way only - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:File>Transfer Purchases
    You should copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • Just synced iPhone and SOME contacts gone from phone, still in address book

    I just synced my iPhone for the first time in a couple weeks. The software is up to date, as is iTunes...
    Anyhow, I noticed some of my contacts had disappeared when I looked in my SMS messages and a lot of them just had numbers where names used to be. Checked my contacts and a lot of contacts are missing.
    They are still in my address book on my mac, and I have the correct folders checked so they should sync, but it is not doing so.
    Photos, calendars, music/vid sync as normal.
    What is going on? This is VERY annoying.
    Thank you.

    ShamRockNRoll,
    Have you noticed if it's a specific group that is not syncing correctly, or is it random contacts from all groups? If it's just a specific group, you may need to delete that group in Address Book and recreate it.
    If it's random contacts from all groups and if all of the contacts you want on the iPhone are in Address Book, you can just select "Contacts" from the Advanced section down at the bottom of the Info tab. That will replace all contacts on the iPhone with those that you have selected to sync from Address Book.
    Hope this helps,
    Jennifer B.
