IPhone :: Using Phone 4 To Sync Contacts To Brand New IMac
Aug 1, 2010
I just got my iPhone 4 on Friday (release day here in Canada! yay!), and I also got an email from Apple saying my newly-ordered iMac has shipped! Best day ever... lol.
Anyways, I was wondering if this is possible: I manually added contacts from my old cell phone as well as my address book (Outlook Express on a 9 year old PC) to my iPhone. When I get my new iMac, will I be able to sync all of those contacts from my iPhone on to the iMac to populate my iMacs Address book app? Forgive my noobiness, but this is my first Mac ever, and my first iPhone (not counting my iPod touch).
I have searched internet including Apple Communities to find out why the phone numbers in the Address Book won't sync with iPhone 4S Contacts. All email addresses, etc. have transferred but not phone numbers. I have tried clearing the Sync history via Preferences but that did not work. I am using USB cable and Wifi syncing through iTunes.
Last year when Apple upgraded their software, I lost the ability to sync my iPhone and iPad to my iMac. Because I store a lot of personal customer data, I want to sync directly, not through iCloud. I read in August 2013 that Apple was in the beta version of a fix for this problem, but have not seen any resolution in software updates that I have downloaded.Â
Info: iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), iPhone 4
I am, having trouble getting my ical on my imac computer to sync to my iphone. everything else sync's, but not the ical entries. What do I need to do to get the calendar entries from my computer to sync to my calendar on my iphone?
Just got a new iPhone 4S and after I synced all of my contacts from my iMac,I realized that I really didn't want to put ALL of the contacts in my computer on my phone. (I have WAY more contacts in my computer than I need/want on my phone).Is there a way to "go back" to the original contact list that I put on my phone before I synced the contacts from my computer, or do I need to go through and delete them one by one?
I have inadvertently deleted all my contacts from both my iPhone and my iMac. I must be able to retrieve them from somewhere! how I get them back on my phone.
I am tired of forgetting to erase emails on my phone for hours if I leave it sit for a week or so without checking. how do I make it so when I delete the mail in my mail on my iMac, that my phone inbox reflects that?there is no way to mass delete the email on your phone so what the heck?
I lost contacts on iMac. I still have them on iPhone4 and/of iPad. How do I restore them on my iMac? I think I also have everything in the iCloud, but I am afraid that after syncing tonight I have lost everything.... I want to restore on my iMac....
I need to back up and sync multiple iPhones to a single iMac. Each iPhone has a separate Apple ID and the data from each iPhone needs to be backed up separately from the others. How can I do this without getting all of the contacts, etc. mixed?
I'm wondering if there is an app that let's me sync my Facebook contacts with the contacts on my phone, I've got an iPod Touch and on that I use MyPhone+ and I sync that to Windows contacts and my phone to Windows contacts but no pics get copied. is there an app there does that?
I have a new phone. AT&T couldn't add my Droid Maxx to their service, so now I have a phone, with contacts from google, but the contacts don't have any phone numbers even though on a computer I can clearly see the phone numbers. Need transferring contacts from google to galaxy s6 contacts. With out phone numbers, and phone isn't really a phone.
I've done everything that I have read online, and everytime I go to the facebook app settings, it already shows that facebook contact is checked to not sync, yet i have about 500 extra contacts and pointless facebook emails in my phone that I don't want--nor do I want to spend 5 hours doing so to delete them.
I've just gotten a Bold 9700 and noticed that even though I have the option to sync the profile pictures of my friends with my contacts profiles on the phone, the pictures for my phone contacts remain blank. The Facebook profiles are linked to my contacts and sometimes will show the Facebook profile picture but after a while the picture reverts to a blank icon again. I've also unselected the option to sync and re-enabled the option to update Blackberry contacts with my Facebook contacts to try and force the pictures to update but no success.
I was thinking that it might also be because of a conflict wiyth other apps trying to update the contact pictures seeing as I originally imported all my contatcs from my Gmail account but I am unable to figure out which other apps, if any, are updating contact pics and thereby turn them off.
Blackberry contacts linked to a LinkedIn profile show their LinkedIn profile pics correctly though and other than that I only have BB Messenger, GTalk, Windows Live Messenger and Facebook that are linked to my Blackberry contacts.Any ideas on how I can get my contacts' pictures to sync correctly with Facebook?
I connected my phone and was able to import photos from my iMac to my iPhone (4s) but now i want to delete them from my phone but it doesn't give me the option to delete them. it has its own album and says "imported from imac" and i try to delete them but i don't have the option to.
My husband and I bought a new iMac. He plugged in his iPhone first and named it and downloaded his photos. I plugged mine in and somehow by accident backed it up as if it was his phone, and now my phone is exactly like his...any way to reverse this??
