Getting contacts onto the computer from iphone

How do i get my contacts on my iphone unto my macbook pro?
thanks josh

Sync it. Do you not sync your iphone regularly?
AS long as you have at least one contact on your computer, you should get the option to merge the data.

HT4890 How do I get photos onto my computer from my iPhone?

Hi,
How do I get photos onto my computer from my iPhone?
Thanks!

Go to the iTunes Store.
Plug your iPhone into your PC (use the USB cable provided with the phone).
Next, look for the iTunes Store bar-icon towards the top right ( where it is on my PC screen).
Next to it an iPhone bar-icon will pop up. Click it and follow instructions. After that, your phone will auto sync photos and tunes when you
plug it into iTunes.

Ever since my upgrade to lion 10.7.3, and iCloud, my macbook is running extremely slow. What can I do? It doesn't seem like my contacts are pushing through to the computer from iPhone.

Then your basic issues are: too little RAM, incompatible software, dysfunctional installation.
Add more RAM or kill as many programs that you use until the computer is running normally.
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps. Upgrade any old software.
Reinstall OS X:
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Alternatively, see:
Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Choose the version you have installed now:
OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X

HT1386 How can i get all my songs transfered onto the computer from Ipod classic so that my new ipod and my spouse can get the songs??

Hello
How can I transfer my songs off my old Ipod classic to the computer so that I can pick them up with my new Ipod 4. Also I want to transfere some songs to my spouses Ipod 5. Please let me know what I can do...
Thank you..
Alexandra

You can try the steps in that support article, but I doubt they'll help: you're trying to copy from an iPod Classic, to an iPod Touch. As far as I know, that can't be done using backup and restore. (But you can try—it wouldn't hurt.)
The question I have is, do you have the songs on your computer also? Or do you only have the songs on your iPod Classic? (Maybe from an old computer that crashed or something?)
If you have your songs on the computer, all you have to do is just set up your new iPod through iTunes on your computer and sync the songs from iTunes to your new iPod. You don't have to do anything with the old iPod Classic.
(Does that help?)

Can't sync TO the computer from iPhone so going to lose 30 albums! Help!

I have an old iPhone 4 which I used to sync with my old Acer laptop. The laptop died and I bought a new Macbook Air (love it!). I copied music from the old laptop to the Macbook but for some reason lots of albums didn't copy across. It's mainly albums that I had uploaded from CD. It didn't matter as I only listened to music via the phone but I now have an iPhone 6 and I need to get all these albums on to that. However when I try to sync the iPhone 4 with the macbook it tells me I will lose everything on the iPhone 4 as it will only sync one way i.e. macbook to phone, not phone to macbook.
The problem is that I no longer have the CDs (got rid of them in a house clear out as i thought they were happily on my computer) and the old Acer has died completely so I can't get the albums off there. Therefore they now only exist on the old phone.
I wondered if anyone knows any ways of getting round the syncing problem to get the music off the iPhone 4 and onto the Macbook? Otherwise I'm going to lose around 30 albums!
Thanks so much

When you got rid of your CDs you also got rid of the right to have a copy of the music. And, as you can see, there are reasons for keeping the CDs as a backup.
You obviously did not do the correct process to transfer the iTunes library from the old computer to the new one. If you still have the old computer your question would best be addressed from that perspective. If you do not you will have to buy third party software to do a less-than-ideal transfer of non-iTunes purchases from the iPhone before wiping it so it will sync with the new computer.
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a a different setup you transfer the old library from a computer or a backup directly to the new setup, not the device to the library. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

How do I get sound into the computer from my webcam?

Hello,
I have a mac pro intel 8-core and need to use webcam with skype. The thing is, there is no build in mic on the 8-core and there is no mini audio input jack so how do I get the sound in from a webcam?
In fact, are there webcams available that have the built-in mic sending the signal through USB or firewire? The only webcams I found had a mic with a mini-audio plug for plugging into the computer. But of course, there is no jack to plug it into.
Besides using a firewire camcorder, is there anyway to get sound in from a webcam?
Thanks so much,
Kirk

Hi
I'm using Skype with a Logitech Pro 9000 camera with built in Mic.
I didn't need special drivers, it worked as soon as it was connected. It was configured in -
System Preferences - Sound - Input - then select Logitech Camera, USB and you are done.

HT4890 How do I download pictures onto my computer from iphone

I am trying to use iCloud to put all my pics and videos on my phone to my computer. How do I do this!?

Download the iPod manual here, and see chapter 8.
EDIT: I just noticed that you've had it for 4 years, so it's probably not the 6th generation iPod that I have. If it can display pictures, it might be covered in a different chapter, so have a look through the manual for the version you have.

What is the best way to move Contacts onto the iPhone?

Hi Guys,
I currently have Nokia N82, usually when i get a new Nokia (since am a TOO loyal customer) i just take a backup from the previous one and add it to the new one when i get! i hate copying to/from SIM...
Now when i want to get the iPhone what is the best way to move the Contacts??
i use a Windows machine, STILL!

For the couple of iPhones I have access to, you've got three methods to get contacts onto the device aside from moving them onto the SIM; I have found that copying to and from SIMs can leave data fields not totally aligned.
(1) Via a cloud. One uses MobileMe (via iCal/Address Book entries) and the second uses an Exchange-based cloud. Both seem to work pretty well, although I do experience an occasional lag from time to time.
(2) Via a sync on a desktop. My preferred method. Connecting to iCal/Address Book>iTunes or Outlook 2007>iTunes work very well. My only issue was that Outlook didn't work as I'd expected the first time, just as with a couple of other phones in the past (it never did work with my Motorola Z9); to "fix" the issue, I simply refreshed Outlook's contacts and rebooted Outlook - I actually had to do the same thing with iCal to "blow out the pipes" and both sync conduits work fine now.
(3) Transfer Contacts to the iPhone via email using a vCard for each contact. I use version 3.0-compatible vCard files generated from Address Book or Entourage (Mac), Outlook or just about what my business contacts generate. Just about every platform has some unique data type, but I haven't received a vCard yet the iPhone can't handle via email.
Getting your Contacts out of the iPhone. Option (1) or (2) - that's it AFAIK. I hope this helps you out!

When you connect the iPhone to sync with the new computer, a number of things will happen. If the new computer/iTunes does not contain any music, then yes, you will receive a prompt saying this iPhone is synced to another library, and if you continue, you will lose your music. However, you risk losing a number of other things, such as apps, contacts and calendar data. When you ask about photos, any photos that you have on the iPhone that were synced from the previous computer would also be lost. You need to save the photo folder from the old laptop and transfer that to the new desktop. You also need to sync the contacts and calendar to the same supported application that you were using in the past, such as Outlook, unless you are using an outside web-based sync, such as Google. Also, when you first connect the iPhone, it will make a backup, or at least make sure that it does before you attempt to sync, or you will not have a backup of some of the other things, such as mail settings, SMS, and the contents of the Camera Roll. I would import the photos from the camera roll to the new computer before trying to do anything else in iTunes.

I would like to play music from my iPhone 5 on the speakers attached to my computer at work. I don't have the authority to download itunes onto the computer. Can I play the music from the phone without having itunes on the computer?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Did you fail to back up your pics?
The photo sync is one way - comptuer to ipod.
You can e-mail them to yourself (instructions in the manual), but they will not be of the original quality.

I downloaded tv shows from iTunes onto my iPad, but when I plugged into my computer it erased them from the iPad and they didn't get transferred to the computer. How do I get them back?

First, is your iTunes account on your computer, the account you set up your iPad with and the one you sync regularly with? If yes, just reconnect your iPad to your computer, via USB and open iTunes. After your iPad syncs, and you see the message that it's OK to disconnect, don't disconnect. Click once on the iPad from the left side of your iTunes screen. This will open your iPad in iTunes. You would then click on Videos and you'll see the TV shows you downloaded. You can choose individual shows, or choose to sync all videos to your iPad. After you've moved what you wanted back, click apply, then sync again and you should be fine.
