Upload iphone contact address to at&t address book server

I have voyaged the web (at&t which is always useless) in search of a possible workaround. I know at&t has no intention on addressing this. It might be considered a too helpful customer service feature and attract new business or retain current business.
This question is opposite of newbies "how do I transfer TO my phone".
I actually see a serious feature need to upload my contact data to the (empty) address book created on the At&t address book server.
Any non-Iphone has the ability as its used in similar fashion as the itunes backup of your contacts.
However, this database also provides the opportunity to receive your phone bill-listed as contact names, replacing the phone number.
As a business user with may incoming calls, I see a real benefit in being able to recall data on the previous months bill (which would be a call record now) to find the date, time of the conversation.
As I indicted, At&t has no interest (in basically flipping the on-switch) to allow me to upload. **boy some companies pay top dollar for your contact lists and I can't give mine for free to At&t.
Anybody know of a hack program which will identify itself to the online software upload program of the At&t server which will allow me to send my list.
Any attempt to try this as a "normal" method will result in rejection because of their uploader program. Even after the requirement of setting up an account from your normal billing area.

I have exactly the same problem. And my country (Chile) does not show up in the country list. I think this is the reason why the addresses do not show in iPhone. I suppose your country is Uruguay, so you have the same issue.
This is ridiculous. For Apple there are only 3 countries in Latam, but they lounched iPhone all over the place!!
Please post a report in http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Maybe they hear us and correct this issue. It should be so simple.

Importing iphone contacts to new macbook air address book

I haven't discovered a way to get all my iphone contacts onto my macbook air address book - can anyone advise how this can be done?

What you want to do is first be very careful when following these steps, and second, make sure your iPhone has been synced with the computer it was set up with originally so it makes a backup of the data.
To force the iPhone to back up, plug it into the computer it was synced with originally, right click on the iPhone from the list, and select Back Up.
Once you have backed up your iPhone data, follow these next steps -- it can be scary, but you'll be fine, that's why you backed up before hand:
*First off, you want the contacts to be locally on the phone, not on an exchange server or mobileme, etc, to do this follow these steps:*
1) In your iPhone settings, go to mail contacts calendars, select the account that has your contacts, slide the bar for contacts OFF.
2) A dialog will come up asking if you want to delete the contacts from the iPhone, and you choose NO.
That step will copy the contacts from your exchange or mobileme server locally onto the iPhone.
*Secondly you will then sync it with the new Air by following these steps:*
1) Plug the iPhone into the Air, and when it asks to erase and sync choose no.
2) Go to the Info tab and select the checkbox for Sync Address Book Contacts -- DON'T CHOOSE ANY OPTIONS NEAR THE BOTTOM THAT SAY TO REPLACE INFO ON THE DEVICE.
3) Click Sync, and allow the info to sync. It may give an option to Merge or replace, make sure to press Merge.
*Once you're done syncing again, you can re-enable the contact syncing again:*
1) Go back to the settings on your iPhone/iPad, and mail, contacts, calendars, then to the account you turned off the contact syncing on. Turn the contact syncing on again, this time since you just want what's on the server, choose to delete the contacts from the device. You can also choose to merge the contacts if there's stuff you had on the Air that you wanted back on the exchange server.
Enjoy!
Oh and these steps work for calendar information as well.

Since update to 5.0.1 iphone contacts caller id shows email address rather than contact name and number

Since i upgraded to 5.0.1 . My iphone contacts caller id shows email address not contact name and number. Is this a settings issue?

Hi, it's maybe happening the same here!
I have an iphone 3gs. Since I did the upgrade to ios5, when I receive an sms with the notification of a missed call I am no longer able to see if it's coming from a number of my contact list, because in the sms the message correspondence for that contact underlines now the number PLUS the first 2 cifres of the date! So the number results always being 2 numbers longer and it's impossible get to the original.
That's really a major problem for me, as I'm no longer able to know who has called me, if someone I know (and who) or if a new number.
I add a capture to explain it better (I have banned a couple of cifres for privacy reasons).
Anyone solved the problem or can help please?
Thank you!

Send iPhone contacts to Lexus RX 400h address book using a MacBook Pro?

This may the wrong place to post this, but perhaps it will catch the eye of other Lexus owners who have come across this problem.
Since the iPhone has no way to send contact information via Bluetooth as required by the Lexus address book system, I was wondering if it might be possible to spoof the Lexus into thinking my MacBook Pro was a phone, and therefore allowing me to send the contacts via Bluetooth (perhaps using some extra 3rd party contacts transfer software too?)
I guess there are a few questions I would need to answer before even trying it out. Does anyone know what contact format the Lexus is looking for? For example the format the Blackberry uses works fine, so I guess I would need to be able to send in that format, what ever it is.
It seems likely the Lexus would not recognize a MacBook Pro as a capable Smartphone and would therefore perhaps not offer the option to transfer the contact info. However there is a small app in the Developer Tools called 'Bluetooth Explorer' which appears to allow you to change the software setup of the onboard Bluetooth hardware so it appears as a Smartphone. Anyone know anything about that?
Any constructive ideas appreciated, thanks.
P.S. I am aware the simplest way is to get another compatible mobile phone such as a Blackberry or Sony Ericsson phone to do the transfer, but since I don't have one to hand, I thought I would look into this option.

Have now tried to connect the MacBook Pro to the Lexus, but although the mac sees the Lexus as a headset (as it should) when I enter the Passcode, they fail to shake hands so the Mac is not added as a 'phone' on the Lexus. This is fairly understandable as the Mac will not be presenting its self as a Phone>Smartphone device, but rather a Computer>Laptop device.
I thought I could get it to spoof the Phone>Smartphone bit using the Bluetooth Explorer app, but that doesn't seem to work as I had hoped.
Something else I noticed using Bluetooth Device Inspector (http://www.radioactivetoy.com/), my OS 10.5.4 MacBookPro shows the following Bluetooth services:
Serial Port (SPP)
AV remote Control (AVRCP)
my iMac and iBook which are both on 10.4.9 show the following services:
OBEX Object Push (OPP)
OBEX File Transfer (FTP)
Serial Port (SPP)
It seems Mac OS 10.5.x has removed the OPP protocol from the Bluetooth device. I'm pretty sure OPP is what the Lexus would use to receive the Address Book data on a phone, so this would be needed.
As a result of this, I tried connecting the iBook to the Lexus, but still had the same connection issues as before, so I wasn't even able to test the contact transfer.
Unless someone knows how to get the mac to show as a mobile phone, I don't hold out much hope for this method of transferring contacts

My iPhone contacts are only showing email address and not telephone number

I have an iPhone 4S running OS6. For some reason of late my contacts are only displaying the email address and not the telephone number.
I have repowered the phone a number of times but the issue still persists.
Can any one tell me how to fix this ???

Hi Kimberly,
Try the following:
1. Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive
2. Check where the Start New Conversation From is set to. If it's not your number, select your number.
If the above doesn't work...
1. In Settings > Messages, tap on iMessage to turn it off.
2. Reboot phone and after the phone restarts turn iMessage back on.
Hope those help!

IPhone Contacts vs Mac OS X Address Book

Why is it that the iPhone can connect to and sync with Exchange option and multiple Google Apps Contacts accounts, and the Mac OS X address book cannot?
Seems like it should be a simple upgrade?
Are we ever going to be able to have simultaneous sync of contacts with multiple Google accounts or not? Seems like people have only been asking for it forever...
Why no response from either Google or Apple?

I think Address Book does that through Mobile Me.
Nobody here knows what Apple or Google are thinking.

How to upload Iphone contacts to 2012 Toyota Tacoma bluetooth system.

I've searched everywhere and cannot find information on how to upload contacts if that's even possible.
The thought of having to do it one at a time is a joke.
Thank you.
Rick

Check your user manual for the car. Bluetooth devices like BlueAnt and car computers will automatically import contact info from the phone directly once you pair sucessfully.

Can't sync Address Book note field to iPhone contacts

Hi:
I make heavy use of the "note:" field in my MacBook Address Book app. I store all kinds of detailed info about people, organizations, etc. in that field. I would like to be able to access that information on my iPhone 3G, but the phone's Contacts app has no corresponding "note" field.
Could this be a result of the way I imported data into my MacBook when I first got it?
In searching the fora, I found several people who said their iPhone contacts sync nicely with the Address Book note, and others who say it doesn't sync at all. Can anyone please shed some light on this for me?
Thanks!

Not quite sure what you mean by "editing" but I've tried every method of selecting, deleting, cursor placement, backspacing, and typing I can think of -- again, with and without the Edit button clicked. I did seem to accumulate a huge number of duplicates along the way, and there were more than a thousand cards in my Address Book; maybe I went over the limit?

Iphone contacts to empty ibook address book

I have a new iphone and want to sync 'Contacts' to my ibook which has nothing in the 'Address Book'. I've tried using 'Mobile Me' but all it wants to do is replace my iphone 'Contacts' with my empty ibook 'Address Book'!! Please can anyone help?

I do not think the problem was solved - what was completed was a work around.
I have the same problem - open itunes, plug in iphone, select info, synch contacts, select merge contacts (iphone contacts will move to address book and visa versa) Mac to Iphone success - Iphone to Mac - no go.
This is how it should work - and it is not??? Why? How do you make the itunes synch work?
Synching with mobile me is a great work around - if you use mobile me.
Synching with icloud is great to backup but does not get contacts added on your iphone onto your mac.
How do you get contacts added to your iphone into address book on your map with synch?

Hi azuldelf,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
In addition to using iCloud, you can sync your iPhone to your Mac using iTunes.
See this article for more information about how to sync your contacts:

How to sync contact list and yahoo contact list and macbook pro address book without mobile me

How does one merge the contents of my verizon iphone contact list and my macbook address book and my yahoo contact list and have ongoing syncing without mobile me? thanks

THANK YOU! I have been using companion link up until you posted this. This makes it so much easier to keep my business contacts on my phone. Much faster too! I use the Exchange Server so I'm hoping by doing this, my contacts will be synced via wireless. I'll let you know if it works. Thanks again for the great post.

LegacyExchangeDN showing on iPhone Contacts...

The LegacyExchangeDN is showing in the iPhone contacts. The e-mail address is displayed correctly in Outlook 2003. I have the latest firmware, iTunes and Outlook is fully patched. After a fresh restore it still doesn't work correctly. I just tried to reset the sync history as suggested in the sticky above. Nothing seems to help. Not even "replace iphone with contacts" in iTunes. What gives? TIA!

snickered,
If you are syncing with the Exchange server, the iPhone syncs with the information stored locally on the computer it is syncing with. That means he will need to use cached Exchange mode so that his OST/PST is populated with the data.
This article discusses limitations that can arise when it isn't cached on the machine:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307382
Alternatively since it mentions Legacy, it could be an pre-Unicode format as discussed in this article:

I recently used itunes to update my iphone contacts with my outlook contacts, it seems to have wiped out information from my iphone- can i reset

I synced my iphone contacts with my MS Outlook contacts through itunes. The information that came over from outlook over wrote any informatiuon that was in my iphone contacts. For example, I had my wife in my iphone contacts listed with her 3 contact phone number. I had her listed in my outlook contacts with only her email. after the sync she was listed in my iphone contacts with only her email address and no phone numbers. Right now I have too much information from in my iphone contacts from the MS Outlook How can I go back to my setting prior to this last sync. I need to purge alot of the information that carried over.

No, I'm sorry. If you're seeing that Connect to iTunes screen that means the phone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored.
If you can't borrow a friend's computer, you can go to the Apple Store and they will restore it for you.

Can I upload one contact from my iMac address book to my iphone from iCloud?

Can I upload one(1) contact from my iMac address book using icloud to my iphone without having to upload the whole address book??

No, it would upload (sync) your entire address book. If you want to get a single contact to your phone from Address Book you can select it, then go to File>Export>Export vCard and save it to your desktop. Then email the saved vCard (.vcf file) to yourself, open the email on your phone and tap the attachment to import the contact to your phone.

New/Updated contacts on iPhone 4 not syncing to iMac Address Book

Greetings,
My problem:
When syncing my iPhone 4 with iTunes 10, iTunes will sync contacts FROM my iMac to the iPhone. It will not sync new or changed contacts from the iPhone TO my iMac (no two-way syncing).
Further background:
I recently had Apple replace my hard drive and restored from a Time Machine backup. Everything is working properly except this.
What I'm using:
* iPhone 4 w/ iOS 4.1 (latest)
* iMac 2.4 GHz Intel running OS X 10.5.8
* iTunes 10.1 (54)
Example:
If I create a new contact on my iMac, it syncs with the iPhone as expected.
On the iPhone, If I edit the contact originally created on the iMac and re-sync, the changes do NOT sync back to my iMac.
If I create a new contact on my iPhone, it does not sync with Address Book.
What I've tried so far that has not worked:
1.) Unchecked and re-checked "Sync Address Book Contacts" in iTunes (one-way syncing works fine)
2.) Used the "Replace information on this iPhone" for Contacts within iTunes (contacts from iMac overwrite iPhone as expected)
3.) I had a trial MobileMe subscription that I cancelled months ago.
Went into the iPhone > Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > deleted the MobileMe account, keeping existing data on my iPhone.
4.) Unchecked "Sync Address Book Contacts"
* Went to /users/[username]/Library/Application Support/AddressBook, deleted AddressBook-v22.abcddb and /Images
* Went to iSync app > Preferences > Reset Sync History
* Verified new addressbook and /Images folder were created
* Re-checked "Sync Address Book Contacts"
* Performed another sync using iTunes
(One-way sync works fine)
5.) Deleted all Address Book entries
* Unchecked "Sync Address Book Contacts"
* Went to /users/[username]/Library/Application Support/AddressBook, deleted AddressBook-v22.abcddb and /Images
* Went to iSync app > Preferences > Reset Sync History
* Verified new addressbook and /Images folder were created
* Re-checked "Sync Address Book Contacts"
* Performed another sync using iTunes
Can anyone offer some suggestions? I have my address book backed up, but I'd really like to be able to perform a two-way sync from my iPhone to my iMac's Address Book.
Thanks,
Rob

No need for apologies! Yes, it was checked. Looks like I have solved the problem now and it was something very basic - in the preferences of Contacts on the iMac. Looks like it's all synced now. Thanks for replying!
