Need help - How do I sync contacts from iPhone TO my computer (Windows XP)?

I have manually entered my contacts into my iPhone for a year now and would like to transfer the information from my iPhone to my computer. My default email account on the iPhone is my Yahoo! account. I am afraid to try it on my own because I don't want to lose my info. Advice, please?!

Firstly, ensure you're using iTunes 7.7. In iTunes, select your iPhone and then go to the info menu. The first selection will be contacts. Tick the box that says "Sync Address Book contacts". You can then select all contacts. Click the Apply button (bottom right corner) and sync. Contacts should appear on the computer. It syncs between the not delete. As for yahoo email account, you can try, nothing will be lost.
Cheers

  • How do I sync contacts from iphone to ipad3 on windows vista? When I sync ipad to computer I do not get contacts or calendar to ipad.

    same as above title

    Hi
    This is a little confusing.  What is the end result you are looking for?
    1. What Iphone and IOS do you have?
    2. What Ipad and IOS do you have?
    3.  What "syncing " are you talking about?  iTunes or iCloud
    4.  What Vista version are you running - does it include Service Pack 2?

    Hi,  Does anyone know how to do this without the need for me to upgrade to Lion on my MAcBook Pro and use the iCloud?
    I put all my contacts into my iPhone and I'd like them now on my MAcBook Pro.
    Thanks,

    Click on your iDevice on the sidebar of iTunes and then go to the info tab at the top. check the box shown here:
    This will put the contacts from an iDevice to the computer. You can then check the same box on the (let's say iPad) that doens't have any contacts and they will go from your comp to your iPad.

    How do I copy contacts from my Iphone to Outlook on my computer please

    For the Contacts I'm using the free App "MyContactsBakup" (or MCBakup), it works just fine on my iPhone 4.
    It works for pics too I guess. It is reliable, it process and send a .vCard file attached to a mail with all your contacts (and/or pics, etc.).
    You can import the contacts anywhere iPhone, Mac, PC, etc. I'm happy with this.

  • How do i sync notes from iphone to my computer?

    hi everyone
    i use the iphone notes app a lot, and under my previous OS (snow leopard) these would show up in the mail app on my macbook pro.
    i realize notes is now a separate app also on the computer, which seems like a good idea.
    however, it won't sync anymore with my iphone for some reason; the latest notes i wrote don't show up anymore.
    i don't use icloud; i just connect the iphone to the macbook via usb once in a while.
    when i go to "accounts" in notes, thinking that it might have something to do with the new way email accounts are handled, i get an "unknown error" when i try to add notes to my account. i use a gmail address in the mail app and elsewhere.
    in previous times i would have deleted the preference file for notes, for starters, but i can't find those anymore!
    thanks for any hints!

  • HT1296 how do i sync contacts from iphone to itunes

    Attempting to reset iphone, I need to save contacts to itunes account

    You do not save them to iTunes. They are either saved as part of the backup, or they are synced to a supported application on the computer or to iCloud. Also, a reset on the phone will not affect data. You would not need to worry about saving anything, unless you are doing a restore, which will delete content from the phone.

  • How to sync contacts from iPhone to a computer

    Hi, I've just realised that since i've had the iPhone 5, it hasn't been syncing my contacts onto my computer. I thought it was because I didn't have enough backup storage on iCloud so i deleted my backup (which was stupid because now it says I've never backed up and I can't seem to backup because I don't have enough storage).
    How do I put my contacts onto my computer? Help!
    Thanks

    If the photos on your iPhone were not TAKEN by the iPhone (i.e. they were synced from a computer with iTunes or another program), they cannot be recovered.

  • Syncing contacts from iPhone back to iMac (Entourage)

    Briefly, after both my Time Machine and hard drive failed, I lost all my data. My Entourage contacts re-main on my iPhone, and I want to sync them back to Entourage. I understand the process of "merging,"but I have run into a few obstacles: I am using the latest version of iTunes (7.6.2), by the way. First, under Preferences, I have no options available under "Syncing." Then, when I connect my iPhone, and select "Info," I have no options here, either. I do have a number of contacts in Entourage in my iMac, but, apparently, iTunes no longer recognizes the existence of this program, so I can go no-
    where. (My Entourage Contacts have been duplicated in my Address Book, but that doesn't show up, either. Something must be terribly corrupted.) I'm both frustrated and perplexed, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance. pah

    Something to check when syncing contacts from iphone back to computer, make sure to open address book and enter at least one contact.
    Then when you connect the iphone, you should get a message asking if you want to merge the data.
    Click merge and this should copy all contacts from the iphone back into address book.
    the same goes with ical also.
    Make sure there is at least one event in ical.
    Now to move the data in address book and ical to entourage is set in the entourage preferences in the sync services section.
    Hope this helps.

  • How Can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail?

    How can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail? In other words, I want to keep all of my iPhone contact information intact and make AOL "mirror" it (and not wipe it out when I sync thru iTunes).

    The iPhone supports syncing contacts with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with Windows Contacts with Windows, and with the Address Book or with the Entourage address book on a Mac.
    If you aren't currently using one of the supported applications on your computer for contact info - the supported address book application on your computer is empty, before syncing contacts enter one contact in the supported application on your computer. Make this contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data with the supported application on your computer, which you want to select.
    After this, you can export the contacts from the supported application on your computer that is supported for import by your AOL online address book - if AOL includes such an option.

  • HT204150 how can i sync contacts from icloud to my iphone from pc

    how can i sync contacts from icloud to my iphone from pc

    I just went to icloud-contacts- OFF.  It asks if I want to keep my contacts on the phone and I said yes.
    Thanks so much.  Saved me a ton of time.
    One thing I noticed though is for my name, it used to have an image of a person.  That is gone now on my phone but on my computer.  Is that only in iCloud?

  • Question: How do I sync contacts from my iPad to my MacBook Pro running Mavericks?

    How do I sync contacts from my iPad to my MacBook Pro running Mavericks?
    rbarge

    Contacts sync via iCloud.
    Set up iCloud on your iPad and your MBP, with the same iCloud account on both, with the same Apple ID.
    On the Mac you set this up with System Preferences > iCloud, and have Contacts checked in the box on the right.
    It looks very much the same on the iPad, Settings > iCloud.
    If you have set this up and it's still not working, then sign out of and then back into your iCloud accounts.

  • How do i import contacts from iPhone to address book?

    how do i import contacts from iphone to address book?

    Ok, I knew it was a long shot.  The merge prompt normally is only available when you first sync your device.  I'm not sure how things got out of sync in the first place, but you may have to manually delete the contacts from your phone that you don't want there at this point.  I would try adding a new contact on your phone followed by sync to confirm that it's picking up new contacts though.
    Unfortunately I need to go now, so if you're still having problems I suggest your start a new post in the forum to see if someone else can help.  Good luck!
