Update: How to synchronize iPhone Contacts to iCloud

MobileMe is a beautiful, all-in-one, simple way to keep your PC, Mac, iPod, iPhone & iPad altogether synchronized

Its only drawback: it's not free and it's actually quite expensive ( $99/y and $149/y for the "Family Pack" )

The solutions provided throughout this website allow you to benefit from most MobileMe features for free ( see "Tutorials List" to the right )

Though, if you prefer everything to be done automatically, here is how to set up MobileMe on your iPhone

• On your iPhone, go to Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars
• Make sure "Fetch New Data" is set to "Push"
• Tap Add Account->MobileMe
• Fill the 4 required fields as follows:
• Your name: your name, for example Mike Johnson
• Address: your MobileMe address, for example your.name@me.com
• Password: your password for this MobileMe account
• Description: MobileMe
• Hit "Save"
• Select the MobileMe services you wish to sync ( Mails, Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Notes )
   

  Turn on "Find My iPhone" if you want to use this service ( more on this feature )

• Tap "Done"
• Turn "Passcode Lock" on
• Click Settings->General->Passcode Lock and enter your desired password twice

Notes & possible issues

• iPod Touch users will need a Wi-Fi connection
