Q: How do I transfer contacts to my new iPhone from my Mac computer?

You would sync the contacts in iTunes from whatever program you have them in. Are they in iCloud, or Address Book? If you have Mavericks, your only choice for contacts is to sync via iCloud.

If you don't want to use iCloud you can also select all your contacts in Address Book/Contacts and export them as a vCard from the File menu, then email the vCard to yourself, open it on your phone and tap the attachment to import the contacts.

Open Address Book (Contacts), click All Contacts on your groups list on the left, click a single contact to the right, press Command-A to select them all (they should all be highlightes), then go to File>Export>Explort vCard and save it on your desktop.  Then send an email to yourself with the vCard attached.

Try Mytrans Contacts Pro . You could export all contacts on your Samsung Droid and send them via e-mail, also could import them to your Address Book on your Mac.

Use your Mac Address Book and sync your iPhone with iTunes. From the Info tab, under Contacts, make sure to select “Address Book” from the drop-down menu before you sync.
I am not sure whether it works on Mac, but you can use copytrans contacts to transfer the contacts too (in case you do not want to use iTunes sync):

Finally, you can simply use the iCloud app and install it on your Mac. Make sure to enable iCloud contact sync on your iPhone. Then import contacts from your Mac to your iCloud application, this will move and sync the contact entries to your iPhone.

Open contacts and under edit hit "select all". All contacts should be highlighted. Open a finder window, select airdop, and allow it to find your iphone (you may have to make both the mac and the phone visible to everyone). Drag the contacts to the phone in the airdop window. Accept the transfer on your phone. When the contact window opens there will be a selction to "transfer all ## contacts". Select, chose create new contacts, and they will transfer.

Hi, Roses333

Here is how to transfer contacts from iPhone to Mac.

- Open i-tunes on your Mac computer that you sync it to

- Plug in your phone to the computer

- open "Address book" window's address book program. Kinda lame, but it works. Its under start-programs-accessories

- Back to iTunes, click on the phone icon on the left

- Click on the Info, and under "Contacts" (the first one) check "sync contacts from" and then pick "Windows address book" from the drop down menu

- Click all contacts

- Then at the bottom right of iTunes, click "Sync" It will ask you if you want to merge or replace. Make sure you select "MERGE" or it will delete your contacts on the phone.

There is no "Address book" window's address book program” on Roses333 Macintosh computer.

I don't know if this applies, but I just lost my iPhone 4, replaced it with a 6, synced everything...fine...but my CONTACTS, which were fully updated in my Address Book on my Mac...did not transfer.  Could not figure it out.

The AT&T guy solved the problem!  On the new phone, you have to go to the iCloud section in Settings to TURN OFF the Contacts button.  When you've turned that off, your screen on your Mac (you should do this while plugged in) will ONLY THEN allow you to SYNC CONTACTS in your iTunes account.  It worked immediately and then I just turned the Contacts button back to green in iCloud section so the contacts also sync with the Cloud.  Done!  All contacts saved!  Whew!

Just restore new iPhone with the last backup of your old iPhone...

Thank you for this. I have been trying to transfer my 850+ contacts from my BBerry 10 to my new iPhone 6 and you provided the last piece of the puzzle.

Many thanks!
