I am trying to download my contacts from my iTunes to my new iPhone. I never did a back up on my old one.

I am trying to download my contacts from my iTunes to my new iPhone. I never did a back up on my old one. So I tried simply downloading whats on my itunes contacts list and that didn't work either.

iTunes does not have a contacts list and only stores contacts in a back up file. You need to check if there is a back up that was made when the contacts were on the phone. If you do locate one then you would need to restore from that back up to get the contacts back on the phone.

  • HT1414 I just got a new iPhone 4 and I tried to download some songs from my itunes account and it bricked my phone so now my new phone is locked and I can't use it. What can I do to resolve this?

    I just got a new iPhone 4 and i tried to download some songs from my itunes account onto my phone and it bricked my phone! So I can't use my phone, it's locked. It shows a plug going into an adaptor frozen on my phone. How can I resolve this problem? I got my phone at Verizon yesterday so I went back to see if they could help me today and they didn't know anything about it at the Verizon store. Theyy said to try IMac store here in town...

    Ask the Verizon store to exchange your iPhone for a different iPhone 4.
    UPDATE - Sure, try ckuan's solution first.  Then use mine if that fails.

    I completely understand what is happening. I know that you are connected to the Internet. I made the suggestion because I have seen it work in similar circumstances. The Apple iTunes servers can be a bit fussy about things and sometimes rebooting the router clears up this miscommunication between iTunes and your network.
    Have you tried signing into your account and then try to sync again. Go to Store>View Account. You will have to enter your password. Then try to sync again. Or try signing out completely in Store>Sign out. Quit iTunes, sign in again and then try to sync again.
    Sometimes refreshing settings will help clear up weird problems.

  • HT204387 I would like to download my old contacts from my Samsung into my new iPhone 5C. How do I do it????????????

    I have tried using the bluetooth on the iPhone to search and pair with my ol samsung phone but it is rejecting the pairing? I would hate having to download the contact info manually. Is there a way to do this?
    Additionally how can I get teh iPhoen to work with a hands free bluetooth decise that ie especially helpful when driving. The earphones supplied with the phone are in my view quite a dated alternative.

    I think it recognises *some* non-Apple Bluetooth devices, but the number of devices, and the functionality supported, is very limited, and extremely poor and inflexible when compared to other manufacturers' devices.

  • How do I download previous purchases from the itunes store to my i tunes account speciffically Audiobooks more than 1 year old? They don't show up in my purchase history.

    I have been trying to download previously purchased Audiobooks from the itunes store to my new computer and ipad. I tried calling the apple help line but they want me to spend $69.99 for the help plan. these purchases are over a year old and on my old ipod now i want them on my new devices. I am starting to get very irritated!!  please help.

    Are you running the most current version of iTunes? If you are, you should be able to go into the iTunes Store, and click on Purchased under the Quick Links. (You have to be signed on, and the computer has to be authorized to do this). Once you have selected the Purchased from the Quick Links, you should see a tab for Books - your audiobooks should show up there and be available for downloading.
    This is all assuming that you sync'd those books to the iTunes library on your computer. If you have not, you will need to sync the iPod first....

  • Downloading music from existing iTunes account to new iPhone

    I hope someone can help me with this:
    I have an existing iTunes account, linked to my iPod, and I recently purchased an album via my iTunes account (on my computer) which I then planned to download to my new iPhone. This is where the problems / questions start -
    How can I download this album to my iPhone?
    How can I use one iTunes account (share) with two Apple products (iPod & iPhone)

    You can sync as many devices as you want to the same itunes library, there is no limit. You can decided what content you want on each device & itunes will keep everything straight, by device, on subsequent syncs.

  • How do I transfer music from my itunes to my new Iphone?

    I have a new iphone 4 and would like to transfer tne music I have load to itunes on my laptop.  How can I do that?

    Since Lion has not been released yet, doubtful you are getting a message indicating you need Lion installed. The minimum Mac OS requirements for an iPhone 4 is 10.5.8 (Leopard) or later. You need Leopard or Snow Leopard installed.

    Mac system requirements
    Mac computer with USB 2.0 port

  • HT201269 i m not able to transfer songs from my itunes to my new iphone ???

    i m not able to add songs from itunes to my new i phone its syncs with it but not adding them?????

    Hello 521056,
    Thank you for the question.  If you are not able to manually sync music to your iPhone, I recommend checking if you have the "Manually manage music and videos" option enabled in the Summary tab:
    You can find all the steps to manually sync music in the following article:

  • How do I transfer my contacts from Samsung ace to a new iPhone 5

    I have a Samsung ace and updating to a iPhone 5 ..how do I transfer the phone numbers ????

    I have had problems with this as I am about to upgrade from Samsung Galaxy Ace to iPhone 5. Eventually I emailed my phone contacts to myself from my Galaxy Ace (go into contacts on your device / then 'import - export' / then 'send name card via' / then 'select all' / then tap 'send' / then tap 'email' option / then email to yourself.
    You will then receive an email with your samsung contacts all saved in the CVS format as an attachment, which will import straight into your contacts on your Mac, iPad or iPhone. Works in 5 minutes and seamlessly!
    Note: you need to have your email account set up on your Samsung phone / Apple devices to achieve this!
    See this video and you will find it is easy to transfer from Samsung to iPhone.

  • My New iphone 5s gets hot quickly when using GPS and downloading apps/movies. Is this normal? My Iphone 5 never did that!

    I Have had my IPhone 5s for less than a month and have noticed that it gets very hot while downloading apps/movies and while using GPS.  (not at the same time) Battery life is also disappointing!  Normal?? My 5 never had this problem!

  • Can I download free apps from the iTunes store, without submitting a credit card number?

    I've tried to download free Apps from the iTunes store several times. It tells me to login, so I do. Then it says "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store. Please review your account information." When I click Review, then I click continue, I Agree to the terms and conditions, then it wants me to enter my credit card number! BUT ITS FREE!!!!!

    Hi..
    Try here >  Create an iTunes App Store account without a credit card

    Select None ...
    FYI... the None option is not available in all countries.
