Syncing contacts with my mac and my phone using isync

Hi
I have had a macbook for the past 7 months and have bee using isync on an irregular basis and with different mobile phones. So far it has been going well.
I have recently acquired a nokia 6230 and i have synced it with isync. I thought it had worked.
I realised the other day that a number of contacts are missing.
I went back to isync and tried to re-sync my phone to get the entries on my mac to be sent to my phone, but no. I sync seems to think that if a contact isn't present on my phone, then its not needed. The missing contacts are definatly on my mac (31 to be precise) and all i want to do is get them to be sent to my phone along with any other contacts i may add via address book in the future.
Any suggestions would be amazingly helpful!
Thanks a mil

ok fair play, you've helped hugely and its kinda impressive
its work, exceot for one slight problem, theres about 20 contacts that sync differently compared to the others. They appear with a dash before the name e.g. - John....
any ideas?? like its easy to fix but its just seriously annoying.
thanks a mil, great having people like yourself!!

  • I have the iPhone 5s. I synced it with my Mac and got all the old apps from my old phone. I was not able to update any of the apps on the old phone and they will not update on the new iPhone 5s either! What can I do?

    Hey there rmflint,
    It sounds like you are wanting to update the Apps that were synced over from your computer to your new iPhone 5s. If you are clicking Updates in the App Store in the bottom right corner, would you mind clarifying what happens when you are trying to update them?

    You do the opposite of how you got them on your phone, you unsync the pics using iTunes.

  • Can i not sync – contacts with my Mac in OSX Mavericks? Why must it be done in the "cloud"? This is a very unnecessary change!

    Why, why, why??? can i not sync – contacts with my Mac in OSX Mavericks? Why must it be done in the "cloud"? This is a very unnecessary change!

    "Why, why, why??? "
    This is how Apple has desigend the product.  No one here would know why.

    You can sync via icloud.  You cannot sync contacts via the cable.

  • Mac and Java Phone using BT?

    I picked up one of the Jasper GSPDA Java-based phones at the JavaOne conference this year, and I'm having a bit of trouble using it with the Mac's Bluetooth.
    I have an original 1GHz 17" Powerbook and the BT connection with the phone is not working very well. When I try to browse the phone, it hangs and the Mac eventually pops up an error saying that the other device has not responded but may be busy. This continues forever (or at least for the ten minutes that I kept dismissing and retrying it :-)).
    I am unable to send from the phone to the Mac either. When I attempt to send a file (a jpg in this case), the Mac pops up a dialog allowing me to accept the transfer, which I do, and then it just sits there with the dialog saying that its "Calculating". It never returns. I eventually have to abort the transfer, so that each device resets and I can try again.
    The only thing that actually works is that I can send a file to the phone. That works just fine.
    What's truly bizarre about this (and what makes me thinks that its the Mac, rather than the phone) is that a friend of mine has a newer 17" PB and everything works just fine when using his PB and my phone.
    I looked at the system configuration for the BT on both machines: mine is the Cambridge Silicon radio (f/w version 2.1586), his is the Cambridge Silicon radio (f/w version 3.1695).
    I tried downloading the Bluetooth Updater from the Apple website, installed and ran it, but it says that my firmware is up to date (I used the BT Update 1.02 version, since thats the latest I could find).
    Does anyone have any clue what could be the problem here? Why is it that his machine and mine are working so much differently (just as an aside we're both running 10.4.6 OS).
    Any clues would be greatly welcomed. If I can't get this to work, I guess I'll have to find a different phone...
    Thanks
    --Steve

    What instructions?
    In the source list click devices (so far so good) then click the entry for your iphone or ipod.  that doesn't exist. HELP asap
    You don't import photos from the iPhone to your computer using iTunes.
    See this -> iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    Note this only applies to photos taken with the iPhone. Any photos you previously added to your iPhone using iTunes should be copied from old computer to new computer.

  • How do I Sync Contacts with Windows Live and Exchange on same phone?

    Hello,
    We use Exchange 2007 at the office for our corporate email. I also use Windows Live for personal email. Everything works great from the iPhone. I'm able to get both Exchange email and Live email via "push" on my iPhone.
    My question surrounds how to sync my Windows Live contacts to my iPhone. Can anyone guide me in getting this achieved? Right now, the only contacts getting synched are those in Exchange. Note that we use IMAP and not POP3 for Exchange. Not sure that it makes a difference.
    Thanks.

    To achieve this, you need to export your Windows Live address list to an XML file.
    Go to people.live.com, select Manage followed by Export. In iTunes, you can then select to sync the XML file.

  • Unable to sync contacts with my mac

    Hi, 
    I have a bold 5 and a MacBook Pro. I am trying to sync my contacts, calander, notes and tasks, however it says 'sync services is currently turned off on this Mac. To synchronize your organizer data with your blackberry device, you or your system adminstrator must turn on Sync Services on this computer' 
    I have tried and serched for this, but i cant fix this. Please let me know how can i sync my data. 

    Do you use Mavericks? Apple switched SyncService off and forces people to use iCloud.

  • There's a contact with my name and mobile phone wh...

    Hi everyone!
    Over the last days it appeared among my contact a new one with my same full name, a random personal pic and my mobile phone shown for calls. ...but that's not me!
    I didn't add my mobile number to my Skype profile and I have never used Skype to call mobile phones. So how is this possible then? Who's this person? Was my account hacked or what else is it? What shall I do to protect my mobile number from being public? 
    Thank you in advance for your support.
    L.

     Hi, Lullu, and welcome to the Community!
    First things first: change your account password immediately.  Then, check your profile settings, make the necessary changes, click the "Save" check-marks beside each line item, and check your Skype Options to ensure all settings are on "My Contacts Only;" remember to click Save before you leave each window (sometimes I forget this simple step!).
    Here is more information for you to consider:

  • Can't sync contacts with yahoo account (and I do have internet connection!)

    When I sync my iPhone 4 with my computer, it says it can't sync with my Yahoo account (as it has been for the past year) because I don't have an internet connection. I have wireless interent connection and I've checked everything - it's hooked up and I've tried to close out programs, restart etc. I have the latest iTunes version on my computer. Thank you for your help in advance...

    OK, sounds like you are using Yahoo to store your contacts.  If you're having a problem with this, it is highly likely it is on Yahoo's end since they often have server issues, but two things you can try:
    If you're currently on wi-fi, turn that off and see if you can access your contacts via 3G.
    Try deleting the Yahoo account off your iPhone and re-create it.
    Last week my Yahoo account was acting buggy and didn't get resolved until I did both (turned off wi-fi, then deleted and re-created the account over 3G).

  • Syncing ipod with both mac and windows

    i am considering getting a new ipod, but i want to put certain videos and stuff on it from a mac computer, but also want to be able to put music and videos and stuff on it from a pc. can it be done?

    Determine which computer will be the one the iPod syncs to going forward. Use whatever means you want (networking, burning DVDs, using the iPod in disk mode, etc.) to get all of your media files on that one computer. Get those media files into iTunes, so that they are playable in iTunes. Then sync the iPod to that one computer.
    If you want to continue to add media from two computers, it won't be as convenient. PCs cannot read the Mac format, but Macs can read the Windows format. So it has to be initially synced to the PC. Then, set the option to +Manually manage music+. You should then be able to add media files to the iPod manually on both computers.

  • How can i sync reminders with my iMac and I phone?

    Just updates to iOS 5 reminders look useful but how can I sync it between all my devices?  I am still on mobile me.

    I would also like to know if this is possible.  I have been using Wunderlist because it syncs over all devices, including iMac and Macbook.  Will there be a "Reminders" app for iMac available at some point in the future?

  • Why I can´t make mirror with mini mac and apple tv using Mountain Lion?

    Help me. Tranks

    Not all computers can use the "Mirroring" feature found in Mountain Lion.
    You can still mirror using iTunes and use "Airplay".

  • Contacts - "On My Mac" and "iCloud" possible to sync?

    Trying to sync contacts with my mac and my iOS devices through iCloud. It took me awhile to figure out what is actually happening here, even though it seems obvious now. Unfortunately I can find no way to do what I need.
    Set up iCloud on iPad, iPhone, Safari on MacBook Pro, using fine. Noticed not all contacts syncing. Preferences on all devices say use iCloud, and use Mail and Contacts on all devices.
    Finally noticed that on MacBook Pro Contacts, over on left page, at top left it says "All Contacts", under that "On my Mac", under that ""iCloud". Finally figured out that "On My Mac" contacts are separate from "iCloud" contacts (seems obvious). The contacts in "iCloud" are the only ones which sync with your iOS devices, and the MacBook Pro Mail program only adds contacts to "On My Mac" set. Yuck!
    I can find no way to have contacts from Mail automatically add to the "iCloud" set of contacts instead of the "On My Mac" set. I cannot figure out how to get these contacts in the "On My Mac" set to sync to iCloud without some very fancy and complicated exporting, deleting, importing ALL contacts, and it is a lot easier just to type the contact info into a new card in the "iCloud" contact set, but I wish I could get iCloud to work automatically with Mail and "On My Mac" contacts, or find some setting or workaround so that I just don't even use or have the "On My Mac" contacts.
    Does anyone know of some setting to allow me to use iCloud exclusively? That's why I want iCloud and Mac, to work together.
    The way I often add contacts is:
    In Safari, click an email link
    In mail, a new email opens so I can send
    click the triangle on the right end of the address in the "To" line
    a box appears
    scroll down to the bottom, "Show Contact Card" (this used to automatically open the address book, but Mountain Lion unfortunately added a step here)
    A box appears
    click upper right hand corner, "Open with Contacts"
    Edit card as needed
    Note: this card appears with the "All Contacts" line highlighted on the left hand side of left page
    It is also in "On My Mac" set
    It is NOT in "iCloud" set, therefore will not sync with iOS devices
    Anyone know how to get Mail to put its created contacts into iCloud to start with?

    Hi Virginia,
    Try setting up your iCloud account in the Contacts preferences. Contacts>Preferences>Accounts:
    Click the "+" to add your iCloud account, and when you get to this screen:
    In the "Account Type" field, use the dropdown to select iCloud, then add your iCloud sign-on info.
    Don't know if this will work, but my Contacts book only has "All Contacts" listed on the left-hand page - there is no "On My Mac" or "On iCloud" listed at all....
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

  • Synced contacts with PC and shouldnt have - how to remove

    I recetnly synced on my PC and had the sync contacts with outlook checked, and should not have. Now my iPhone shows a group of contacts titled "On my PC" above the group now labeled "On MobileMe". MobileMe is my contacts and calendar that i sync with. Is there a way to remove this group "On My PC" from my iphone?
    Thanks
    Mike

    OK, first you're on the Windows forum so we can't really help you with a Mac.
    Second save the backup, wipe, and start over is the correction and it's a pain.
    Even if you have to do it one entry at a time you can get it all back.
