Why do I lose some of my contacts when syncing my iPhone 4 with my MacBook Pro?

If I connect my iPhone 4 to my MacBook Pro using the lead a few of the contacts on my phone are wiped, but not on my MacBook.  Text messages etc are still on there but it just states the number it came from not the person's name.  Why does it do this?  Why does it only happen to a few numbers?  What do I do to stop it?!
Many thanks.

i think is because when you snyc for the last time you doesnt save your informations on your computer and, for one reason your Macbook Pro dellect all the thing who was not saved.. (its happening to me and, the losted information never will be back.. i'm sorry..) :/

  • How do I keep from losing some of my contacts when syncing?

    How do I prevent lose of some of my phone numbers when syncing my phone?

    I think the matching has been extended beyond the beginnings of names, as it used to be. It now looks for the string appearing anywhere in the contacts' names or addresses. Type a few more letters to see if it becomes more precise.
    e.g. 'and' will fire on 'handyman', 'wallander' etc and not necessarily just on 'andrew' as you might expect. But if you type in 'andr' that should eliminate handyman and wallander. ;-)
    I think you will find it is also searching nicknames too, something which had been broken for some time. Distinctive nicknames for your contacts can speed up auto-completion quite noticeably.

  • Contacts & SMS texts-Resyncing iPhone 4 with new Macbook

    Question: Will I lose my Contacts and Text Messages currently on phone when re-syncing with Mac for the first time?
    Background: I currently have an iPhone4 and a MacBook Pro. My phone was synced with my Pro and everything was fine. This weekend the hard drive on my Pro crashed and had to be replaced. After getting my computer back I began to get things back to where they were before the crash. I synced and backed up my iPhone daily before the crash, so all my music is on my iPhone After the replacement was installed, of course all that was gone off my computer, but still on my phone. I purchased a program called iRip 2.0 and transferred all my music from my phone back to iTunes. As far as music goes i am set and happy. I have the auto sync option turned off on my iTunes. I hooked my iphone to my computer for the first time after the replacement and backed up my iphone from how it was on the last sync and back up before the computer crashed. I've got my iTunes ready to resync with my iPhone for the first time with the new computer. When I do this is brings up that i will have to erase iPhone and replace it since the computer is new. Everything is in place to re-sync, but I am curious if I will lose my Contacts and Text messages currently on the phone once it re-syncs?

  • HT3887 why oh why can I not transfer my own photos from my own iPhone to my own macbook pro via bluetooth? This is so antiquated!

    I have an iphone that I use to take pics and just wondered why don't Iuse bluetooth instead of plugging it in each time...only to find apple won't let us do this. Is this still true? Seems like madness and a good reason to change...

    I have tried bump but it insists on location recognition before it will work properly. Maybe I am paranoid but I think they have enough info about me already....
    I shall keep looking.
    Thanks guys for all your input.

  • ITunes stops working when syncing my iPhone 4 with windows 7, why?

    I got my new iPhone 4 today, I am trying to sync my music, photos and such and iTunes constantly stops working. All I can do is shut down the program. I have restarted my computer AND the iPhone bu no such luck. Any help out there?

    I just got a new HP Win 7 64x Intel i7 computer, installed the latest 64x iTunes etc and tried to move my iPad over.   It will synch everything except for photos and videos; it gives the error "iTunes stopped working, program will close" when I try to synch my photos.   I have tried to uninstall and reinstall etc. to no avail, it just keeps doing the same thing.   
    I went back to my old computer 32x machine and successfully re synched and put my photos back on.   This seems to indicate that the problem is either with iTunes compatibility with the version of Win 7 on my HP computer or with the iPad compatibility.
    Anyone find the solution to this bug?

  • Why can't I pair my Iphone 5 with my Macbook pro?

    I tried to bluetooth my phone to my Macbook pro and it will not pair. Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

    What do you want to do after pairing?
    If what you want is to stars Sync, they have to be on the same WIFI, bluetooth i think it's only if you want to use your Iphone5 as Internet Port
    Also, Apps like Remote and Spotify, using your iphone as "remote control" it's via Wi-Fi

  • Can you give me some reasons about why I need to buy an iPod touch 5.Although I have the iPhone ,iPod nano, iPad ,MacBook pro,I think the iPod touch 5 is so attractive that I can't help buying it at once.If I have it,what I can do with it,can you tell me?

    All I can say is that I REALLY like my Touch 4th gen because I have all sorts of capabilities in a small form: e-mail, web browsing, news, weather, books, magazines, etc. etc.  Plus lots and lots of apps out there, including so many free ones.  I use the Cloud a lot so it's great to have everything sync'd to my MacBookPro (e-mail, Evernote, Pocket, etc.)
    It would be easier, though, to do some of this, especially magazines, on the iPad mini, but, again, I love the small size of the Touch. 
    As for the 5th gen instead of the 4th, the fifth has Siri and the 3D feature in maps, which are great.  And I'm sure it's a lot faster in iOS 6 than the 4th gen.  And cool colors! 
    Don't know if this helps . . .

  • Why can't I connect to my brother MFC-J4510DW printer wirelessly? The printer is connected to the router and I can surf the web. I wonder if some security setting may be keeping it from connecting to my MacBook Pro.

    Why can't I connect to my brother MFC-J4510DW printer wirelessly? The printer is connected to the router.
    I can surf the web. My wife can print from her PC wirelessly on it.
    I wonder if some security setting may be keeping it from connecting to my MacBook Pro. I've installed the software, firmware and driver updates but
    it still shows "off line"
    with the printer power on. Any suggestions?

    All I can suggest right now is back up first the try to reset the printing system, (all printers in the list will be removed).
    Then connect directly to the printer via ethernet or to the Mac using USB and restart the efforts you have made up until now.
    As for router settings, it's possible but not likely that your router only allows a small number of clients. It's also posible that you have MAC address filtering on, lastly are you using the correct wireless protocol, (802.11a/b/g WEP or WPA etc)?

  • Why did I get my brother's contacts when I downloaded ios6?

    why did I get my brother's contacts when I downloaded ios6?

    Did you ever use his Apple ID on your phone? Perhaps you signed in using his Apple ID and iCloud downloaded his contacts to your phone. Are your contacts still on your phone? Chech and see, under settings what Apple ID your are signed in with.

  • HT2729 WHY do I lose all my playlist etc when adding to my iPod? Do I seriously have to keep everything in iTunes permanently?

    WHY do I lose all my playlist etc when adding to my iPod? Do I seriously have to keep everything in iTunes permanently?

    Keeping everything in an iTunes library, which you also backup, is the recommended way to deal with things. That way should your device need restoring you can connect to iTunes, restore and reload your content easily. The alternative is to manually manage the device, however should you need to restore it, damage it, or lose it, then you will also have lost the effort involved in ripping and organizing the media that you put onto it, and would need to repeat that process.
