  • Question: I have spent some time updating the contacts on my iPhone. I thought this would update them also on my iPad and iMac but it did not. I googled to find how to sync them all, and I don’t have the sync box ticked on my iPhone. What I can’t find is the answer to “what will sync to what”?

    I want to have my iPhone contacts as the “master” but I worry I will sync and replace my hard work with ancient contacts on the elderly iMac or iPad.

    How do I make sure my iPhone is boss please?

  • There might be another way, but I’d do this in more or less this order.

    • back up iPhone to iMac
    • make sure iCloud contacts are turned off on iPad and iMac
    • have contacts sorted on iPhone
    • turn on iCloud contacts on iPhone
    • let that simmer for a while
    • delete iPad and iMac contacts
    • turn on iCloud contacts on iPad and iMac
    • cross fingers that I’ve got it right
