How to Save Contacts in my Iphone to Another Computer

My Iphone as a bunch of Contacts on it which I originally transferred onto my Iphone from a PC laptop that has since died so now the only place my contacts are stored is on my Iphone. I now have a Macbook Pro (new) as well as I also have a new PC. What's the simplest ways to copy my contacts or transfer them from my Iphone to either the Macbook Pro or the PC or both so that I have them backed up i.e. in case I were to lose my phone or something like that. Thx.

Enter at least one unique contact on your computer. When you first sync, you should get the option to merge the data.

  • How to save contacts FROM an iphone 3GS

    My main computer with which my iphone has been synced (grammar?) has irretrievably died. I have backups of most of my music, apps etc. can be downloaded again but I have about 500 contacts on my iphone which I need to keep and save on my new iMac. Not surprisingly when I plug in the iphone iTunes asks me if I want to erase it and sync with the new computer. Presumably if I do this then all my contacts will be lost.
    Is there some program I can use to save my contacts from the iphone to the Mac and then re-sync them back again onto the iphone?
    Thanks

    The iphone, by design, will sync itunes content with ONE computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. That's what the message means you're getting. Since you've backed up your itunes library & added such to your new computer, this won't be a problem. Regarding your contacts & other data, do the following:
    If you restore all of your data(photos, music, apps) to your new computer, including your itunes library, you'll be OK. Remember, the itunes library sync is one way, computer>phone. Same with photos not in your camera roll, one way, computer>phone. Just do the following:
    1. Disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes.
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in Address Book & iCal. The entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect your phone, itunes running, do not sync at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
    6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    Your phone should look exactly like it did when you started, but now you're syncing to your new computer.

  • How to Transfer contacts to one iPhone to another?

    Just bought a new iPhone 4. How can I get my contacts and SMS from my old iPhone 3 into my new iPhone?

    Well the assumption is you have been syncing your old iPhone with your computer, and as such should have been syncing your contacts into your computer's address book. Thus all your contacts are on your computer and so you can then just sync your address book on your computer to your new iPhone.

  • How to save contacts from ipad to friend's computer without meshing contacts together

    i am updating a friend's ipad so she can get the new 5 software. she has never synced her ipad to a computer before. i want to save her contacts on my computer, but i dont want them to mesh with mine. how do i need to save hers to my computer before updating? i already uploaded her apps to my computer to make sure they would be saved and they meshed in with mine. i also want to make sure if i hit "sync contacts" it doesnt delete hers and put mine on her ipad. thanks for any input!

    I would research into different contact groups, put hers in one group, yours in another. I have 3 options on my iPad, to see all groups, all from my PC, all from iCloud...so they are meshed, but I can only see the group that I want.

  • How do I save contacts on my Iphone  3 to sim card so I can use the sim card with another Iphone and keep all of my contacts.

    My current Iphone 3 is not working properly.  My wife just upgraded to an Iphone 4.  I am planning on using her old 3 model.  I want to save the contacts on my 3 to the sim card and then import the contacts to "new 3". I cannot figure out how to save contacts from phone to sim card. can that be done, if so how??

    Contacts cannot be saved to the SIM card on an iPhone. Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the comptuer. That would be Outlook or Windows Address Book, Windows Contacts on the Windows computers and Address Book on a Mac. There are also web based solutions such as Yahoo or Google. Contacts would have to be saved there and then synced to the new phone.

    What are you trying to sync. The iPhone is designed to sync with a single computer and any attempt to sync to another one will result in the data on the phone being deleted.
