Syncing iPhone contacts with a specific Group on iCloud/computer

I am using iOS 7 and run Mavericks. I want to sync (be it either through iCloud or through the desktop) the contents of my iPhone contacts with a specific group of contacts on either iCloud or a group in Contacts. How do I do that?

Hello Jim,
It took forever. With MobileMe, it was immediate.
Up in the cloud the clocks seem to tick differently and time is relative, so we will just have to learn to be patient ...
To be serious, the first iCloud experiences seem to be different on the different continents, depending on the time zone you are in. In Europe there does not seem to be so much traffic up in the Cloud during day time  as in the states,

    I manage all of my email in Outlook, delete email and trash it however the update isn't reflected in the Cloud and\or Apple email.  I have to then open up Apple mail and delete again. 
    Then something is setup incorrectly, which version of OSX are you on, and is this an iCloud mail address (@mac, @me or @icloud)
    From your description of the issue I suspect that it is Outlook that is incorrectly setup.

  • Can I sync my iPhone contacts with a specific address book group?

    My address book on my iMac has contacts organized by several groups. My wife and I have just purchased iPhones and want to keep our photos and music coordinated with one iCloud account.
    My whole address book is synced with iCloud. Can I set my iPhone to sync with a specific group of contacts from the address book?
    Thanks in advance.

    Use the usb cable that comes with your iPhone to connect it to your Mac. Read the directions that came with the iPhone. Post in the iPhone forums where the iPhone gurus are. Google... Look to the right of your post in the "More Like This" column...

  • Syncing iphone contacts with iCloud does not work

    I navigate to my iPhone 4 Settings and from there chose the option which is named iCloud
    I turn OFF Contacts choosing to keep contacts on my iPhone and then turn it ON again.
    I get prompted with the option to Merge my iPhone contacts with the ones I have on the iCloud already. I  click "Merge".
    I wait until the iCloud service is turned on for my iPhone contacts.
    Finally, I go back to the Contacts app on my iPhone and click Groups, which is there I assume because I have multiple email accounts linked to my iPhone. I refresh my contact list by clicking on the circular arrow in the top left corner of the screen on the iPhone.
    Contacts I have recently added to my iPhone are NOT transferred to iCloud.
    Why is this not working?

    Go on system preferences / iCloud and check if Calendar is turned on.
    Then take your iPhone 4 and go on Settings/iCloud and check if the Calendar is turned on.
    If both are on with the same Apple ID, it should all go fine.
    You can go on iCloud.com, logon with your Apple ID and click on the calendar to verify.

  • Sync iPhone contacts with Gmail contacts whille having Outlook contacts

    Hi,
    I am currently syncing my iPhone's contacts with itunes ->Outlook.
    Which means that all my contacts being saved on my Outlook account.
    I also have many people/contacts on my Gmail accound that I wish to get in to my iPhone.
    BUT:
    The problem is that I am afraid to sync and get many many duplicates.
    There is a way to merge both without making a MASS?
    Plus:
    It could be really nice to have all the contacts from my iPhone backed up on my Gmail account.
    Thanks!!

    Do you want to sync with Outlook.com or Windows PC Outlook? I'm guessing the latter since it sounds like you prefer to protect your privacy by not synching with the cloud. Try http://www.akruto.com. I've been using it with my iPhone and iPad without any problems. Website doesn't mention iOS, but I found out from a friend that it works with iOS and it does.

  • How do I sync iPhone contacts with osx 10.9.4 contacts?

    I have an iPhone running iOS 7.1.2.
    It has 143 contacts in it.
    I have a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.9.4 with 'Contacts' 8.0. 
    It shows the same 33 contacts I entered when I got my iPhone in 2012.
    I have been trying to update, i.e., SYNC,  the contacts in my MacBook Pro's Contacts 8.0 using a USB cable without any luck. I'm not a big fan of iCloud.
    I have SYNC CONTACTS checked in iTunes 11.2.2  INFO with my iPhone connected via USB.
    Since the MacBook Pro's Contact 8.0 is where my contacts SHOULD be saved and THE most BASIC way to save the contacts, I'm amazed at how convoluted and difficult it is to sync my iPhone's contacts with Contacts 8.0 on my MacBook Pro.
    What am I missing?

    You don't say what you have tried and what you see when you do try to sync, but this article is the place to start to sync your iPhone.

  • Sync iphone contact with icloud

    I've entered new contact information on my iPhone, but those phone numbers are not appearing for that contact in the iCloud subfolder in Outlook.  What is the best way to sync contact information in Outlook so information on my iPhone is updated in my iCloud (in Outlook).

    The first thing to check is to go to icloud.com on your computer, then enter a new contact on your phone and see if it appears in your contacts on icloud.com.  Then do the same thing in Outlook.
    When you do this, which is not syncing new contacts to icloud.com?

  • Sync iphone contacts with ipad

    I just purchased a new iPad Mini and cant seem to sync up my iPhone contacts to appear on my iPad.. any help here would be appreciated.
    thanks,

    You first need to make sure you sync all of your iPhone contacts to the iCloud (not back up to the iCloud but sync). To do, on your iPhone, go to Settings > iCloud > and turn the Contacts switch to ON. Next, tap on "Merge".
    Do the same action on your iPad too. Make sure you use the same iCloud account credentials on both devices.
    Both your iPhone and iPad contacts should now be synced

  • Syncing iPhone Contacts with Windows Contacts and Windows Live Mail Contacts (Windows 7)

    Microsoft copied Google and now supports accessing a Hotmail or Windows Live Mail account as an Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app. This provides Push access for received messages and for syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with the account on your iPhone.
    For syncing calendar events direct with an application on your computer via the iTunes sync process, you need Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010.
    I understand your second statement about the needing Outlook - but I'm trying to reconcile it with your first paragraph - there is support for calendar events over the air between Windows Live and iPhone? So it can be done, just not physically through syncing via iTunes?

  • Can you sync iphone contacts with outlook two ways?

    When I sync my iphone with outlook using itunes, one contact is not syncing.  The initial sync went fine but subsequent syncs deleted one contact from the desk but left it on the phone.  Is there a two-way sync setting I am missing?

    Hey Mark
    I'm Michael and I work for connex.io.
    We were also constantly having problems with our address books, so we decided to build our own solution. connex.io is a service that syncs two-ways between all of your devices and services. It also de-duplicates, cleans completes and automatically updates your address books on all of those devices. So whenever you make a change on any of them, it automatically gets changed everywhere. So you only have to connect your address books once, and you will have your contacts always with you. No need to connect your device to your computer or sync manually.
    If you want to check it out: www.connex.io or you can send me an e-mail if you would like some more info: [email protected]
    I hope this helps you out.

  • How do I sync iphone contacts with icloud AND gmail on PC without Outlook

    I own an iphone and ipad and use a PC.  I will eventually change the PC to a Mac but until then I would like to know that any new or edited contacts (on my iphone) are being backed up somwhere.  I  am using the icloud but my PC tells me I need Outlook.  I don't want to buy Outlook (knowing that I will eventually move to MAC).
    I paid extra storage for icloud thinking it was backing my photographs and contacts up but this isn't happening.   
    I currently have two copies of all my contacts (over 1000 of them) on my iphone and ipad and nothing showing on my PC.   My google account (which I like to think of as my 'main' place to store contacts) isn't being updated with changes on my iphone
    Please help

  • Can't sync iPhone contact with iMac address book since Lion upgrade

    iCal sync is fine.  All the proper boxes in iTunes are checked.  The iPhone is reconized in iTunes.  Any suggestions?

    Sorry I don't have an answer for you.  I kind of doubt Apple has added a solution for that yet, since your Facebook account is not yet synced through iCloud; it is set up independantly on each device.
    However I hope you can help me, I cannot figure out how to manually link contacts on my Mac; there is no Add Link button like there is on the phone...
