    In iTunes, did you click your  iPhone under "devices" then go through the tabs to set things up?  There's one setting that you need to check to sync contacts.

    If you want to know how to transfer contacts from Nokia to iPhone. A computer is necessary.
    First, you should connect your Nokia to the computer and then transfer your contacts to the computer. Then connect your iPhone to the computer, transfer contacts from computer to your iPhone.

  • Can't sync new contacts from Mac to iPhone with 2.0.2

    Hi
    I updated my iPhone software to 2.0.2. After that, I added some new contacts to my Mac. They are not sync'ed to my iPhone. The 'old' contacts are though: I erased my contacts from my iPhone and re-synced, and all the contacts that were there before I updated the software came back to my iPhone.
    Note that it works from the iPhone to the Mac: I added a new contact to my iPhone, after the system update, and found them in my Mac rapidly after.
    How bizarre is that??
    Of course, I checked, and my contacts are checked on in the MobileMe page of the iPhone.
    Any idea/help?
    Thanks
    Laurent

    @ Laurent P.
    Some things to try.
    Reset Sync History. To do this on a Mac, open iSync in your Applications folder. Once open, click the iSync menu and choose Preferences. Small window opens with a Reset Sync History button. Does not delete any data, just don't expect your next sync to be super quick.
    Also, under the Info tab in iTunes, choose the Advanced option of replacing everything on the iPhone with what is on the computer. If it works, be sure to uncheck that setting. I think it is a one time check only thing, but be sure.
    Wait...
    I just noticed you said MobileMe...if you use MobileMe to sync your stuff, flip Contacts Off then back On. If that doesn't work, delete the MobileMe account on the iPhone and re-add it.
    Otherwise, try a hard reset (both buttons for about 10 sec. ignore slide to power off), and reset network settings.
    Also, does the Mac contacts show up in MobileMe? If they don't, go to System Preferences > MobileMe > Sync tab and check your settings. Perform a sync too. Under the Advanced button you can Reset Sync Data and choose to replace MobileMe stuff with stuff on your computer or vice versa.

    I am a former .Mac user. I have both @mac and @me. No issues here after 2.0.2.

  • Contacts from Mac to iPhone 3g?

    I've an iPhone 3g (4.2.1).
    I'm not able to sync contact from may Mac to the iPhone anymore.
    I did always using iTunes but after I did start to use iCloud it's not working anymore. I undestand that I can't to it otomaticlly with iClode but why is not possible to do it mannually using iTunes?
    At moment I don't have anymore my contatc list on the iPhone but lucky is on the Mac and iClode...but if I can't transfer anymore to my iPhone it's not nice!!!
    thanks for any tips!
    Ciao!

    Hi there
    This is a very easy thing to get confused about. iCloud works in various ways. The whole syncing of contacts/photostream/calendar events across iCloud-enabled devices (Macs with Lion OSX, and mobile devices with iOS5) is a totally separate thing from backing up to iCloud.
    On your iPhone, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage and backup. There you can switch iCloud back up off. Your phone will sync with your computer instead of the cloud, but you contacts/calendars reminders/bookmarks/photostream will still sync across devices.
    Note that to sync your email and notes, you need a @me.com email address.

  • Help....duplications of ical events on iPhone and only syncing from mac to iPhone?

    Hi,
    Has anyone got any suggestions for fixing this problem.....
    My iPhone syncs with my Mac perfectly via iTunes apart from iCal, which is giving me real grief! iCal on my mac is in perfect order and syncs events to my phone but my phone has duplicate and triplicate events and even events in different states of being edited. The iphone doesnt sync events made in it back to the mac either.
    It syncs contacts etc. fine, just not iCal events.
    Is there an easy way of fixing this or even totally reseting iCal on the Mac and iPhone so it clears this up? (obviously, I need to keep my calendar events though)
    I've tried replacing the info on the phone, reseting the phone, changing to iCloud syncing and back again and I even upgraded to the iPhone 5 (which I was going to do anyway )
    I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.8, iCal 4.0.4, iTunes 11.0.2 and I was on an iPhone 4 and now iPhone 5. It's been happening for two months now and it's getting really frustrating!
    Thanks for any help in advance

    This fixed my problem - finally!!

  • How to transfer purchased apps from Mac to iPhone

    Hello,
    I purchased some college apps on my mac book and I need to this programs on my iPhone too.I read all discussions about that and did everything but not success about that.My iTunes doesnt see the purchase programs on my computer.
    Thank You,

    You have to log into iPhone App Store and purchase the iPhone version of the apps. Mac apps only run on Macs, iOS apps only run on iPhone/iPads/iPods.

  • Can't get my contacts from mac to iphone

    recently started to use icloud for my mac ipad and one iphone - no problems  My old 3g iphone (can't use icloud) no longer syncs using iTunes to address book on my mac and i have lost all my iphone contacts  Notes and calendar are fine any ideas?

    I've had the same problem. Updated my address book before I synced my phone for the first time. Then I had a hand full not sync to the phone. When I noticed, and updated the contact info on my phone, the next time I synced it erased from the phone. Haven't found much out yet. Hopefully it will fix in the next iPhone update.

  • Transfer I file from Mac to iphone so I can email it

    When traveling recently I was unsuccessful at transferring a file from my mac to my iphone so I could email it (there was no wifi available for my mac)... I tried bluetooth and my USB connection... couldn't figure it out.
    So, is there a way to take a file (on a mac that's not on wifi) and transfer it to an iphone so it can be emailed?

    If you create a wi-fi network using your MacBook and then have the iPhone join that network, you can use one of the file transfer apps to copy the file from your MacBook to the iPhone.

  • Can't sync Contacts from Mac to iPhone

    Hi
    I have prb with the MobileMe syncing since I updated my iPhone software to 2.0.2. I can add a new contact to my iPhone, and see it appearing in my Mac, but if I add a contact in my Mac Contact application, it just doesn't sync to my iPhone. Actually, it doesn't even appear on the MobileMe web page.
    It was working before the update to 2.0.2. Weird...
    Any idea/help ?
    Thanks
    Laurent

    found this solution on this forum...maybe it will help.
    01.) Plug iPhone into computer
    02.) Sync the phone in order to back up your latest info.
    03.) Restore iPhone in iTunes
    04.) When restore completes, ignore the "set up as new phone" or "restore from backup" screen and just unplug the phone from the computer.
    05.) Once unplugged, slide to unlock and tap on the email icon.
    06.) Tap on your email type to setup (for me it was gmail)
    07.) Enter your email information.
    08.) Load your email and let it download a bunch of emails.
    09.) Plug phone back into computer. The "set up as new phone" and "restore from backup" screen will pop up again.
    10.) Choose "restore from backup" and select your last backup.
    11.) Wait until complete.

  • Problems syncing Contacts from Mac to iphone - popup says script error MM

    Hi, when I did my initial sync from my MBP to the iphone all worked great. But when I made some changes to my Address Book on the MBP yesterday and did a manual sync, those changes were not picked up by the iphone - I tried several times So I logged onto MM to check, clicked on the Contacts icon and got a busy symbol. The folder headings of my address book appeared then I had a popup appear to say that a script was having a problem on the page and I could continue or stop it. I tried continue a few times and eventually had to stop it, the busy symbol just continued. My contacts were never displayed. I tried it this morning and it is the same, is this the cause of my syncing probs and if so how do I fix it.
    Many thanks in advance for your help.

    Are you syncing contacts direct with the Address Book on your Mac via the iTunes sync process, or over the air with MM on your iPhone?
    If you are doing the former, this has nothing to do with a problem with your MM online address book.
    If you are doing the former, try resetting the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder.
    Quit iTunes and launch iSync.
    At iSync preferences, select reset sync history.
    Restart your Mac and try syncing with iTunes again.

  • How to transfer iPhoto album from Mac to iPhone?

    Hi all,
    I hadn't done this in a while and now that I have Mountain Lion (10.8.3) I can't find the solution as before.
    Really simple:
         I built a modest photo album in iPhoto and now I want to upload it to my iPhone.  Before, you were able to select 'sync' and it would do it, but that's not an option, or at least I don't see it.  How can I upload a completed album to my iPhone?
    Better yet, how can you upload a video from iPhoto on the Mac to the iPhone?  You can't 'share' it with PhotoStream because it won't accept video.
    Thanks much,
    SHM

    Open iTunes with the iPhone connected.  Go the Photos section for your iPhone and check the Sync Photos from checkbox and clik on Selected Albums radio button.
    Then select the album you want to sync to your iPhone.
