I am unable to sync the contacts on my iMac into my iPhone 4. Any recommendations?

I have a couple hundred contacts on my Mac and only 38 on my iPhone. I go through the sync process using iTunes, but the contacts in the Mac do not migrate into the iPhone. I must be missing something???

Thanks,

Don

iPhone 4, iOS 6

Try backing up your contacts on both your Mac (by opening Address Book/Contacts, then going to File>Export>Contacts Archive and saving this to your desktop) and your iPhone (by using the app My Contacts Backup). After everything is backed up, reset your SyncServices folder on your Mac as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627, then try syncing your contacts again.
