Question

Syncing Iphone 4s

by Nov 14, 2014 5:57PM PST

I sync through iTunes from my MacBook Pro. My calendar syncs fine but my contacts don't sync at all. Any advice would be most welcome.

Answer
check to see if you have Contacts

set to sync in iTunes.

If you use iCloud, then Contacts should also be set to sync there.

Could you be specific about why?
by Pepe7 Nov 15, 2014 12:32AM PST

That would solve your issue immediately IME.

And I suggest you get used to this scenario, or at least find a way to make it work for you, because in the not so far away future it will be the more supported way to backup our contacts.

merely asking if you used it.

I was specifically asking if you had the Contacts, on your Mac, set to sync in iTunes, something that you did not mention.
