Syncing Iphone 6 contacts to Vehicle Bluetooth

I just purchased a Mercedes C300 - trying to figure out how to export my IP contacts to my vehicle phone list. I had no problems pairing  my vehicle bluetooth,  it syncs as soon as I start the engine.

  • Why is there missing info in the windows address book fields after syncing iphone 4 contacts?

    I am reaching the end of my rope trying to deal with syncing/backing up contacts and other "non copyright protected" content from my iphone 4 and my desktop (and preferably my laptop as well).  I've spent literally days trying to solve this problem with ultimately no solution.  So, cutting through my MULTIPLE issues and focusing on one primary I need help backing up my contacts from my iphone 4 to ANY computer.  Here is what I am working with:
    A relatively ancient (5yrs) Window XP desktop with virtually no contacts in Windows Address Book and with only the native Outlook Express on it.
    An iphone 4 ios 4.3.1 that was initially and is still setup/synced with the above XP box (minus checking the sync contacts box).
    An iphone 4 contact list that is primarily populated by about 200 contacts transfered from an old ATT SIM from the previous ancient phone.
    A new Windows 7 laptop that I would love, love, love to use in conjuction with the XP for syncing/backing up not protected, personal data and iphone purchases.
    So, with that in mind I have been syncing my phone with the XP w. the "manual manage music..." box checked and all other syncing options other than apps unchecked.  I wanted to backup by contacts for emergency recovery and to allow sycncing for the increasing business contacts.  Should be easy right?  Not so much.  I tried clicking the "sync contacts w/ windows address book" option and then synced.  I go to WAB and the contact list is there.  However, if I look w/in each contact the fields are not filled in.  If it was a contact that had name, number, address on my phone the WAB version has the name listing but nothing in the number/addy fields.  Now, this is true w/ virtually every contact and most were from that SIM transfer.  HOWEVER, contacts that I added ON the iphone (ie manually w/ the phone) DO have complete information.
    So, what do I do to make an actual, complete backup of all the contacts on my iphone w/o having to manually reinput all of the real information??  I'm frankly terrified that in trying multiple solutions I will lose all my phone contacts which at this point in my life would be absolutely devistating (ie I would probably lose my job).  If it is a matter of newer hard/software I would gladly sync to the new Win 7 laptop instead but there I run into the other aggrivation of apple making it so bloody difficult to use one ios device with more than one personal computer.  I'm dumbfounded and frustrated on soooooo many levels and would send countless good vibes to anyone who can help!   Advice?  Solutions?  I'd promise my first born but who wants that these days...?  Help, please! ;-)
    BTW, sorry for the long wind but I'll add on my "optimal solution" if anyone is feeling especially helpful and has an answer:
    I'd like to be able to plug my iphone into both my XP desktop and my Win 7 laptop and sync/backup to both freely (that is after all the real intent of syncing, non?)  I don't care about music, videos, or other protected content.  I manage that manually and frankly, I can do without having on the iphone as long as I can accomplish being able to sync/backup/restore all the iphone stuff like apps, settings, personal info, and contacts to both the desktop and the laptop.  The purpose is that I need to be able to use and recover everything (on the road or at home) if either my laptop or my iphone dies/disappears.  But, understanding impermanence as it relates to portable devices, I want a solid backup of everything at home waiting on my desktop.  Is that really too much to ask apple??? 

    Seriously folks?  I know it was long but I added all info to negate a need for endless back/forth clarifications.  No answers???
    FYI, i tried syncing contacts to google/gmail and it was a total clusterF as well.  No gmail contacts, synced iphone, gmail contacts populated w/ all info but w/lots of repeat entries.  Used seek and merge repeats in gmail and then resync but no such luck.  Lots of iterations and nothing but fails.  Seems everytime the phone and the gmail lists are "as desired" a new sync puts a ton of repeats back into gmail or onto phone.  Still perplexed and still needing help....
    pretty please....

  • How to Sync iphone 5 contacts/calendar with Outlook 2007

    I used to have an iphone 3gs and upgraded to a 5 recently. Since then I can't sync outlook contacts/calendar like I used to.
    All I want to do is sync outlook with the iphone so that I have the same data on my Windows7 PC as on the iPhone. I used to just hit sync in itunes and presto it would sync both ways. i.e new phone entries would be copied to outlook and new outlook enteries copied to the iphone.
    Now in itunes "info". I  only see an option that sync's to the cloud only. I don't want to sync to the cloud because the old way was better for me.
    Besides the cloud doesn't seem to work. The phone information gets uploaded to the cloud but the outlook information doesn't get updated? When I open up the cloud in Win7 using icloud I can see all the contacts on my phone but how do I get them to sync with Outlook and vice versa?
    I've read so much information on the subject I'm blue in the face but have not found a solution.
    Your help would be appreciated, Thank You.

    If you have [accidentally] enabled iCloud sync on your iPhone, note that you first need to turn that off in order to be able to sync again via iTunes instead. iCloud sync and iTunes sync when it comes to contacts and calendars, are cannot be run simultaneously. Settings > iCloud > toggle the switches to OFF
    You can alternatively read this for another offline method of syncing iphone contacts to outlook without needing to switch off your iCloud sync in first place.

  • How to sync iPhone/iPad contacts TO Outlook?

    I am confused by the cavalier way the term "sync" is bandied about in the MS Outlook/Apple iTunes context.
    I want to make my Outlook contacts look just like my iPhone contacts.  I.e., after a sync, I don't want any contact info in one device that's not in the other.
    In the past, "sync" has meant to me "make them both the same."  But the mechanism whereby that occurs is not obvious in the context of iTunes and MS Office.  For instance, when iTunes is syncing, what happens if a contact's name is in both the PC and iPhone, but the email addresses are different?  Am I offered the opportunity to make a choice?  What happens if Outlook contains an entry that's not on the phone?  Will it end up on the iPhone? What happens if a contact is in the phone, but not in Outlook -  will it get created in Outlook?
    I consider my phone the primary device for accumulating contact information. As a consequence, my Outlook contacts are woefully out of date vis-a-vis my iPhone's.  But I am sore afraid to engage the iTunes syncing, lest it somehow decide that what I want to do is replace the contacts on my iPhone with those from Outlook. I've seen too many comments elsewhere about contacts being lost wholesale, or duplicated wholesale.
    Is there any definitive source for further detailed information on this subject?

    Here is the way about how to transfer contacts from iPhone to Outlook:
    Step 1: Connect the iPhone to the computer using the supplied USB cable and launch the iTunes application. iTunes displays your iPhone on the left panel under "Devices".
    Step 2: Click your iPhone on the iTunes panel and click the "Info" tab. Click "Sync contacts with" and select "Outlook."
    Step 3: Select "All Contacts" if you want to sync all the contacts from your iPhone to Outlook. If you want to select specific contacts, click "Selected groups" and place a check on the contacts you want to sync to Outlook.
    Step 4: Click "Apply" to sync your iPhone contacts to Outlook. Click the "Eject" button on the right panel and disconnect your phone from the computer. Close iTunes.
    Step 5: Launch Outlook and click the "Contacts" tab. You should see the imported iPhone contacts.

  • How to sync iPhone 4 contacts to Mac address book

    Hello!
    I can sync all my contacts from the Mac address book on my MacBook Pro to my iPhone 4. However, why does it not sync the iPhone contacts to the Mac address book? Should it not be like a two way sync? I was looking at the syncing options but it does give that option. I just want to make sure that I have the same contacts on my iPhone and Mac. I do understand that MobileMe does that. But till I can afford to have MobileMe, maybe there is another solution?
    Anybody... help!

    I had a major drama doing this last night, have managed to restore my Address Book file with a backup after I mistakenly wiped all the contacts I had created on my iPhone. Yikes! I suggest when you sync your iPhone leave it plugged in after the sync until you check that the contacts are all where they should be. That way, the most recent backup that is done automatically when you plug in the iPhone will still have all your iPhone contacts should something go amiss and they can be restored. Also export your computer's Address Book (File>Export in Address Book) which should land in your Documents folder.
    To get all my iPhone's contacts back into my Mac's Address Book, I created a group in my Mac Address Book called 'iPhones contacts'. When I synced the iPhone with my Mac, (Info tab>Sync Address Book Contacts in iTunes), I checked the box that says 'Add contacts created outside of groups on this iPhone to...' and checked the new 'iPhone contacts' group and when I synced, all the new contacts on the iPhone landed in my Mac's Address Book. Phew. Heartstopper!

  • Problems syncing iPhone 4S contacts and calendar with Outlook 2007

    Hello.  I am having difficulties syncing my iPhone 4S Contacts and Calendar with Outlook 2007.  It used to work perfectly with my iPhone 4, but now I am having difficulties both ways.  That is, I add something to my Outlook 2007 Calendar, sync in iTunes, but it doesn't appear in my iPhone.  Or, I add a Contact to my iPhone, sync in iTunes, but it doesn't appear in Outlook 2007.  I believe I have the iTunes settings correct.

    Me too. Think it is since 6.1.3.
    Interesting other quirk is that as well as NOT syncing my calendar, it also unticks my calendar from pc on the iphone.
    When ii retick it, i get the calendar back, but as it was before the sync, ie, it does not have the bnew events from my pc in it.
    This is a 2 way problem.
    New events on my iphone wont sync to my pc, and new events on my pc wont sync to my iphone.

  • Syncing iphone 3 contacts to iphone 4

    how do i sync my old iphone 3 contacts to my new 4 ?

    When you hooked your new iPhone up to your computer you should have been given the option to restore your information or set up the iPhone as new. If you chose to restore your information your contacts should be there.

  • Sync iPhone 5 contacts to iCloud and/or MacBook Pro

    I've been trying to sync my iPhone 5 contacts with iCloud, but nothing works.  I have manually backed up my phone both to iCloud and to my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.2) but my contacts still haven't appeared in the cloud.  Help is appreciated!

    It's probably because your contacts do not belong to the iCloud account.
    Open the contacts app on your phone and tap Groups.  Do you have any non-iCloud accounts listed, such as On My iPhone, Gmail, Yahoo or an exchange account?
    Also go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section).  Do you have the Default Account setting there, and if so, what is selected as your default account?

  • Cannot sync iphone 4 contacts to macbook address book

    HI,
    I'm using iphone 4 and I would like to sync all the contacts in my iphone to my macbook address book. The macbook address book is empty and is running on OS X Lion. iTunes is version 10. I tried syncing once and all my contact in my phone is wiped out as the contacts in the address book is empty. Lucky me there is a backup a few months back. How do i copy my iphone contacts to my macbook?

    If you put at least one contact, even a fake one, into your Mac's Address Book first, then when you sync you'll be given the prompt whether or not to merge the contacts.

  • Sync only selected contact groups via Bluetooth to Mercedes Benz

    Hi
    I understand that it is possible to create "groups" of contacts in the address book program on my MacBook Pro and then choose to sync either all or just selected groups to my iphone.
    If I do sync all of these groups to my iphone (which I want) is it then possible to sync only "one" group (just the essential numbers) to my Mercedes via bluetooth?
    Thanks
    Gregg

    I am wondering the same thing.
    I have the iPhone and a Mercedes Benz, with the Bluetooth v60 Puck. The car will only receive 100 contacts but I have no way of knowing which 100 will be uploaded.
    If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.

  • 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.

  • How do I reconcile out-of-sync iPhone/Gmail contacts?

    I have always synchronized contacts on my iPhone (currently a 4S with iOS 7.0.6) with Gmail via CardDAV and it has worked well. However, some time ago my default iPhone contacts account got switched from Gmail to "On My iPhone" (i.e., in Settings >> Mail, Contacts, Calendars >> [Contacts] Default Account). I don't know when or how this happened, but because of this some contacts that I added on my phone have not been synchronized with Google. I now have some contacts that are on my Phone and in Gmail, and others that are just on my phone. How can I merge the now out-of-sync contact lists on my phone and in Gmail? Any help appreciated.

    In what app?
    Have you restarted or reset the device?

  • Help! Sync iPhone 4s Contacts to iCloud

    Greetings:
    1. I installled iCloud onto my desktop computer to sync photo stream only. I am not syncing contacts, calendars, etc to iCloud from this desktop.
    2. My iPhone 4s is connected to my office Exchange.  I have also set the phone up to to the iCloud account established on my desktop above, to sync the contacts I develop on my iPhone 4s.
    Problem
    The contacts in my iPhone 4s will not sync to iCloud.com.  However, if I add or import a contact into iCloud.com on my desktop, it will sync back to the iPhone.
    Please help...I've been searching for solutions on the web for a couple of days and can't get it to work...thanks in advance...j

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

  • How to sync iPhone calendar & contacts to 2 different versions of Outlook

    How do I sync my iPhone calendar and contacts to my work version of Outlook wirelessly via exchange server and also to my personal version of Outlook via cable to a Windows 7 PC?
    My goal is to keep the information separate on each computer so my personal contacts and calendar don't end up on the exchange server at work.
    thanks!

    You can sync 2 Echange accouts but you wouldn't be able to keep contacts separate. It would sync to match each account.
