Syncing unified contact with mac

Hello,
Basically I 'unified' my sim (or iCloud) contacts with my BT Yahoo! contacts on my iPhone. This all went swimmingly.
However, I am now the proud owner of a new Mac Air. and my issue is, how I can I make my iCloud contacts the whole gamish? How can I make those lovely contacts with e-mail adress and telephone combined appear in my address book?
and if no one knows how to that... how do I import my Bt Yahoo contacts to my adress book? That would work just as well I suppose...
Thanks for your time : )

Actually, you're not using iSync: you are using .Mac Sync, a completely different technology, for which there is a forum located here.
And this document explains the underlying technologies which tie .Mac Sync, iSync, the Address Book, iCal, Safari and other applications together in the synchronization framework.

ICloud won´t sync all contacts with Mac

Hardware and software involved:
Macbook Pro (bit older model) with fully updated Lion
iPhone 4 with fully updated newest iOS
Situation:
There are all contacts in iCloud. iPhone synces without issue and has all contacts in adress book. On Mac many contacts are missing.
Tested solutions on Mac:
1) Turned iCloud account off and on - no result, no change, iCloud still synces only some contacts
2) Turned iCloud adress book syncing on (while deleting all contacts on Mac) - no result, no change, iCloud still synces only some contacts
3) Deleting user/Library/applicationsupport/adress book - adress book synced more contacts (and different ones) then before, but still not all... Maybe around 1/2 contacts from iCloud.
Looking for help, I´m out of ideas. This is not some trivial error like looking in wrong tab at Adress Book (for example looking to On My Mac).
Thank you.

If your only issue is with duplicates I would go to your address book and click on the "red marker" up on the window. That should get you into main directory. There you should see at least two main lists:
On My Mac
iCloud
If you click on iCloud, there should be all entries with no duplicates - check if all your contacts are there. Then go to On My Mac and delete all contacts there. Problem solved (and if you have iPhone don't sync contacts over cable if you have iCloud sync active, that's where my duplicates came from).
My issue was more complicated. It started with duplicates which I have deleted as described above. Then I noticed I have all contacts on my iPhone and I can see all contacts on iCloud web page but in Mac there was only about half of them.
So after trying stuff for some time I have solved it by
1) deleting all contacts from Mac and turning iCloud off on Mac
2) copying all contacts from iPhone to Mac over cable to On My Mac directory
3) deleting all contacts from iPhone and iCloud manually, turning iCloud on iPhone off
4) copying all contacts from Mac back to iPhone
5) deleting all contacts from Mac (On My Mac)
6) turning iCloud on again and uploading contacts from iPhone to iCloud
7) turning iCloud on again on Mac and leting Mac sync
Complicated stuff, it's few days so I hope I have not forgotten something.

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.

How do I sync individual contacts with Facebook?

On iOs6, on the iPhone 5, how does one sync individual contacts with Facebook? I don't wish to use the sync all contacts feature, as it adds thousands of Facebook friends to my contact list. I simply wish to connect the contacts already in my address book.

I realize this is really old, but on the off chance of you never having found a way, I figured I'd pop in with something actually useful unlike this Raz fella.
I couldn't figure out a way to do it without connecting to facebook at all, but here is what I did:
1. Connect to facebook.
2. Update contacts.
3. Click groups and uncheck facebook contacts.
Now contacts which are only on the phone because of facebook will not show up, and yet the others will have been connected.
If a specific person does not connect properly to facebook, add their FACEBOOK EMAIL (found in their about section) to the email section of contacts and again go to the facebook settings and click update contacts. This should connect that person.

How do i sync google contacts in mac os 10.8.2 ?

I was finally able to get PSE 11 to install by downloading the free trial. But first, I had to upgrade Adobe's Application Manager. I was then able to use the serial number contained in the confirmation email Adobe sent me from when I purchased it online.
Adobe sure makes it difficult to spend my hard-earned money!

Since Belle update: Can't sync phone contacts with...

This question was asked in the N series boards by someone else but with no reply's, thanks paramasivan for first raising this. I have an E6 so I'll post the same query here for better luck.
Since the update to Belle the "social network" option from the contacts has been removed.
This means I can't sync my contacts with my friends/contacts from Facebook. I've logged in and used Nokia Social but there's no option anymore to sync this.
So how do we sync these again ?
Solved!

From another thread on the same topic someone posted these links that worked fine, the second link in particular worked for me.

HT1296 Syncing my contacts with my iPad

I have tried syncing my contacts with my iPad and I only seem to get 886 of my contacts added - leaving out over half of them (I have 1700 plus contacts) - why can't I add ALL my contacts? Has anyone else had this problem? Cheers

This is the first time that you synced contacts with Outlook? Have you used iCloud in the past? How were you syncing contacts before? While a backup can contain contact information, it is not foolproof (as you have discovered). Also, contacts are not stored in iTunes. If you have not done anything since this, try to restore to a backup done before this sync and see if you can recover the contacts. It may not be able to be done. Good luck.

Can I retrieve contacts that I deleted from an email account on my IPhone that I no longer have access to? I have synced the contacts with my computer and have not synced since I deleted the mail account on my Iphone. Can I still retrieve the contacts?

can I retrieve contacts that I deleted from an email account on my IPhone that I no longer have access to? I have synced the contacts with my computer and have not synced since I deleted the mail account on my Iphone. Can I still retrieve the contacts on my home computer?

This might be a problem as it is a company mail account that I no longer work for.
Could I...
Plug iphone into pc and click Restore in iTunes?
Then using ICloud, retrieve all the data lost in the restore?

Sync iPod contacts with iTunes & Outlook

I have a new iPod that I have added over 200 contacts on. Now I have a new PC and need to sync contacts to Outlook through iTunes.
My contacts are not saved anywhere else at this point other than my iPod.

My iTunes is configured to sync all contacts with Google Contacts, and doesn't allow me to select the option of syncing specific groups. The four contacts from my Google Contacs list were added to my iPod, but nothing from my iPod was sent to Google Contacts.

My iphone 4 cant seem to sync my contacts with outlook 2010

I just purchased an iphone 4 and I cant sync my contacts with my outlook. Any ideas how to resolve this issue?

I think you have to choose which program you want to sync with, when your phone is pluged in and iTunes is up, go to contacts, calendars, and a drop down menu should pop up. you should be able to select outlook fom the list.

Can I sync my contacts with hotmail just like calendar

Just as the calendar snyc feature with Hotmail I would like to sync my contacts with Hotmail so that I have all my contact details in one place. Is this possible? Importing contacts form the SIm is a long tedious method and has limited capability.
Regards
Ravindra Bhat

Apparently that feature is already implemented in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/whats-new-firefox-os-v11#w_import-contacts-from-more-places v1.1] .
You will have to wait for your device maker to support that version or use fastboot to install it yourself.
For now, I use vcardin from the Marketplace to import contacts from vcard(s) on a memory card.

Mavericks will not sync Apple Contacts with Google, Linkedin, and Facebook?

I just upgraded to Mavericks. Here is what I find shocking...
1. Mavericks will NOT sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
2. During the upgrade, Mavericks linked some of my Apple Contact cards with Google Contacts, but not all of them. It need to be clarified that linking is not syncing. Worse, it corrupted data, and deleted some of the contacts on Google Contacts.
3. Similarly, Apple Contacts will not sync with Linkedin or Facebook Contacts.
4. When I contacted Apple, Level 1 support had not idea and assumed that adding a Google Account with automatically sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts as it did in OS Mountain Lion. Level 2 support did not have much of an idea either, but called me this morning to say that the matter has been escalated, and confirmed that OS X Maverick does NOT sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts.
CAUTION before upgrading to Mavericks:
5. Your Google Contacts / Android devices will not be updated by Apple Contacts, and vice-versa.
6. Your Facebook / Linkedin contats will not be updated by Apple Contacts, and vice-versa.
The workaround:
7. Before upgrade, ensure that your Mountain Lion or earlier address book in synced with Google Contacts.
8. After upgrade, go to Contacts > Preferences > General > Default Account, and choose your Google Account as your default account. You will now add New Contact (or update existing Google Contacts) in Google Contacts, which your android devices can sync with. You will also see your Google Contacts in Apple Contacts. However, Apple Contacts will NOT sync with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
Welcome to Mavericks...

With all due respect @McFly_Marty, kindly do not mislead readers. As funny as it may sound, but you have been taken for a royal ride by Apple Support. Keep in mind that the tough taskmaster Steve Jobs, is no longer there, and it is no surprise that Apple’s innovations are sliding.
You probably have chosen Google as your default account under "Contacts > Preferences > General > Default Account”.
Now, when you add New Contact (or update existing Google Contacts) in Google Contacts, you will also see your Google Contacts in Apple Contacts. However, Apple Contacts will NOT sync with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
Try disabling your Google account in Apple Contacts, and all your new contacts are no longer in Apple contacts. Therefore Apple contacts is not syncing with Google Contacts.
Therefore, read the following from my original post again.
“1. Mavericks will NOT sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
4. When I contacted Apple, Level 1 support had no idea and assumed that adding a Google Account will automatically sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts as it did in OS Mountain Lion.
