jamievenna Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Hello! Recently I have trouble with my new iMac and iPhone. I can successfully sync the music files from my iPhone to Mac. The question is that my contacts that are still on the iPhone - How do I get these into my Address Book on the iMac? Do you have any ideas?? Help pls!!
maxwill Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 have you tried importing the contacts form the phone to google contacts then syncing then exporting them from there to a file on the computer then importing that into the address book or you can also go through the info page in itunes for your phone and sync contacts from the phone to the computer that way by checking the box that says sync contact to then select address book There is a step by step instruction on How to transfer iPhone contacts to my iMac. Hope it can do you a favor.
HarryBustard Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Welcome to the forum. Niether suggestion is likely to be necessary given that Mac is purportedly new and therefore has OS X 10.7 which allows synchronisation via iCloud. (Of course this ASS-U-MEs both devices have Internet access which is fair to do.) Of course if the iCloud option isn't used (which would be a bit mad given the other services it offers such as Find My iPhone) or available (no Internet or no OS X 10.7) then your suggestions would be appropriate. The first, incidentally, reminded me of comedic post 15 here whilst the second has the pitfall of duplication if iCloud is actually used.

Or the OP could connect the phone to the computer, click its icon in iTunes and make sure the option to sync contacts and calendars is active.

HarryBustard Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 looks like apple got big problems I usually have a browser page open to iCloud - one which regularly updates - and was logged out and required to log in again. So, no great shakes. this could be your problem!! No... the opening post was ten days before the hiccup.
