All I want is to have docs I create in Pages or Word to go back and forth between my iphone and my macbook. I created a folder called Shared on my Mac, added docs in that folder to File Sharing in itunes. One is a Pages doc, the other a Word doc. I synced using a cable. Neither doc showed up in Pages on my iphone. I created a doc in Pages on my iphone and shared it through itunes to my Mac. This doc showed up on my Mac. I edited it and saved it. The edits did not transfer to my iphone. This sync functionality has to be there. I must be missing something obvious.
Info: iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.1, Macbook Pro 2012 OS 10.9.5
I have a new replacement 4s. I am trying to set it up. I hate iCloud but need it to sync my calendar to my phone. I mistakenly set it up to sync Contacts too and found out it synced ALL contacts which I do NOT want. I used to use iTunes to sync only selected contact folders (one I call Sync). Others are too sensitive to have on my phone. So I turned off "where is my iPhone", and turned off "Contacts" on iCloud. It said it would delete all my contacts on my phone the next time I sync (using iTunes). So I try to sync my Contacts using iTunes and find that under "Info" on the device tabs my only possible selection is ALL contacts with the "Selected" button greyed out. But even leaving all checked, I get the message "iTunes cannot sync information with the iPhone because syncing has been disabled on this computer (my Mac). Do you want to enable syncing?" I hit the button "Enable syncing" and I get the error message "Syncing cannot be enabled on this computer" with "Override" and "OK" my choices. If I select "OK" I get the error message "iTunes could not sync information to the iPhone (Name) because a sync session could not be started". I can sync my music and my apps but get this stupid message otherwise.

I wanted to update my software to the latest version so before i did that i made sure i synced/backed up my phone. Then i restored my phone from back up only to find that my contacts have all dissapeared. Why?
All my apps, calender, notes, photos etc have appeared except for my contacts.
I have an IPhone that syncs to my Outlook 2010 via Exchange. The email and calendar syncs automatically. I would like to sync my contacts but currently have that setting turned to "off" because I want to add my Outlook contacts but not lose my contacts on my phone. If I sync the contacts will it just add the new ones and not overwrite the existing contacts on my phone?
When I try to sync my iPhone (via USB), I get: > iiTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone "xxxx's iPhone" because contacts have been disabled on the iPhone. How do I fix? I have an iPhone 3Gs running iOS 5.1.1, Lion 10.7.4 running iTunes 10.6.3
I'm trying to sync my iPhone contacts with windows contacts using iTunes. I keep getting the message "iTunes could not sync contacts with iPhone because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone." Internet connection is on. They used to sync before and one day they just stopped syncing.
Usually when plugged in via USB, but also sometimes via bluetooth. How to prevent this? It's usually annoying while I'm on the phone and the music is playing in the background (only for my side of the conversation).
I just bought an iPhone 5c and the dealer manually transferred all of my (gmail) contacts from my Samsung Galaxy. Now the contacts on my iPhone are no longer synced with my gmail account. If I make changes to a contact on my iPhone, that change does not show up on my laptop when I am logged into my gmail account.Â
Can I fix this by turning "on" the "Contacts" button under Settings > mail, contacts, calendars > Gmail > contacts > on?Â
When I attempt this it asks me what I want to do with the existing contacts on my phone. What do I want to do here? If I say leave the contacts on my phone will the contacts merge or will I end up with duplicates?
Trying to Sync via PC patch cable the BB Address Book (Contacts) with MS Outlook Contacts.Set-up failing apparently because wireless data sync with the Bold is turned ON. Can't locate referenced setting on the device to turn OFF.
Right now I have multipule contacts on my atrix that are "linked." Is there anyway to permanently consolidate all the linked contacts into one and export all my contacts as a csv file for outlook and gmail?
I've just upgraded to the Z5. My own number on my contacts list is set at 00 0000000000 and it won't let me edit it to change it! I've worked out how to manually sync contacts profile pics from FB onto my contacts list, but it won't let me do it on my own contact details. (Basically, in text messaging, pics of my contacts are there, but I can't link mine to do the same).
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?
My apologies if this is discussed somewhere else, I looked, couldnt find it. So does anybody know of an easy way to sync my contacts FROM my blackberry TO my gmail contacts? I have google sync on my phone, but that only messed up my contacts by dumping a bunch of duplicates into my BB contacts and it doesnt seem to reverse sync. I have since deleted my gmail contacts so I dont suffer this fate again, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to reverse sync from BB to gmail.
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 am unable to sync my contacts from my Mac (10.7.3) to my iPhone 4S (5.1) through iTunes. I made sure to check off the Contacts sync through iCloud to prevent doubling.These are the steps I took to sync:
I go to itunes, click on my phone's icon, go to info tab, click on sync contacts and all contacts then I click Sync.It says that it is syncing contacts, but when it is done, there are no contacts on my iPhone.
I just had to get my Mac's hard drive wiped at the apple store, and now when I try to put my contacts from my phone into Address Book, it won't sync. All of my contacts seem to be on iCloud, but I can't access them.
I've erased some contacts on my Mac, but when syncing with iPhone, those contacts appear on iPhone. How can I sync only the contacts I really have on my Mac?
When switching contact sync to Yahoo or Google from iCloud, did not see any sync done. When switching contact to a new Outlook account with no contact for testing, can see 88 email addresses sync into Outlook, all without any phone numbers. What went wrong??? How do I get the contacts in iphone out into Outlook, Yahoo or Google so that I can sync those contacts into other phones?
recently had my phone sent away for repair, before hand i backed it up as usual.
i got the phone back, a new one. I then synced/restored to my itunes but told me i didnt have the right hardware so had to delete itunes and re install.
amongst this my contacts were lost nothing else. just them.
