Backup iphone contacts to pc from phone

Itunes wants to delete some of my contacts but I want them all saved to my pc ---how ?

The sync process should take care of this. The sync process with contacts is bi-directional but you may want to enter at least one contact in your Outlook address book before attempting the sync process.
Unless you have a recent backup of your contact information, there is no other way to transfer contacts from the iPhone to your computer.
Do you not maintain a backup of all important information for this very reason and especially with all the virus, adware and spyware concerns associated with Windows?

    my iPhone was stolen. I just got a new one and am trying to backup my contacts and data from iCloud. How do you do that?

    If your backup is in iCloud, and your new iPhone is already set up, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go throught the setup screens on the iPhone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts.  (If it isn't set up yet, just choose this option when setting it up.)
    Be sure your iPhone it connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

    How do you backup IPhone Contact List to PC Computer(XP) ?

    The easiest way that I have found is to open Outlook, go back to Itunes & select your phone.
    Choose the 'Info' tab at the top of the screen & tick the box marked 'Sync contacts with' & choose Outlook from the drop down box.
    Image attached may explain better.

  • Still trying to seperate hubby's iPhone contacts and apps from mine!

    Still trying to seperate hubby's iPhone contacts and apps from mine! Read all the previous messages, did everything suggested, have two entirely different accounts, two names, two passwords, etc.
    Can't use two different computers to sync because he's not ... patient enough to handle it. So It's my job to do both his and mine.
    Would it work to sync his to the cloud and mine to my computer? Would that seperate them? Divorce is a possibility. Any other suggestions are welcome. calls to the Geniuses have gone unanswered.

    Restore your iPhone with the backup for your iPhone or as new.

  • How can I backup iphone contacts/email/addresses and transfer them to PC ea

    Hey,guys!!!i have one quick question about my iphone contact backup ...
    I have an iphone that has all my contacts stored in it.... (phone numbers, email, addresses, etc...) and I recently
    bought an new computer, but I don't have any of this information stored in it.
    My question is, how can I sync my iphone with to my PC without erasing the info in the iphone. I don't want my system
    to think that since the PC is empty it should erase every contact in the iphone. I just want to transfer everything
    from iphone and have a copy on PC,especially the contacts.
    Appreciated your early reply.

    Maybe you should go Discussion-Apple to look for what is iTunes user directions about how to backup your iphone.
    Other than there are also a tool called Contacts Tool search iphone applications,and it will help u a lot if u want to transfer the contacts to computer.Like Out2003 or Outlook2007...
    Outlook 2003:
    1. In Outlook, choose Tools > Options.
    2. Click Other and then click Advanced Options.
    3. Select COM add-ins and select the iTunes sync add-in and click OK.
    4. Click Apply and then continue with the steps below.
    Outlook 2007:
    1. In Outlook, choose Tools > Trust Center.
    2. In the Categories pane, click Add-ins.
    3. In the Details pane, locate the iTunes add-in in the "Inactive Application Add-ins" list.
    4. In the Manage box, click COM Add-ins, and then click Go.
    5. In the COM Add-Ins dialog box, select the iTunes sync add-in.
    6. Click OK.
    Besides,if you are always frustrated the directions of iTunes and Outlook.I want to give your advice to try out other professional transfer contact software.As far as i concerned,you can download the [trail version|http://hotdownloads.com/trialware/download/Downloadtanseeiphonecontact_.exe?item=13181-12&affiliate=575053&sscoupon=SOFT-QSTG] of [Tansee iPhone Transfer Contact|http://www.softwarebbs.com/wiki/TanseeiPhone_TransferContact] for free,which can help you back up your iPhone contacts along with contact photos to computer as a file (either txt or antc).

  • Transfer iphone contacts and calendar from pc to to new macbook pro

    I have my iphone synced to a pc. Just bought a macbook pro and want to transfer my contacts and calendar to macbook. Will now exclusively use Macbook. I know from past experience that you cant sync iphone to 2 computers so what is the best way to transfer my contacts and calendar plus anything else that can be transferred over to my new macbook? I have already burned a DVD with all my purchases so I guess I can import all the apps from this backup.

    Did you get a subscription to MobileMe?
    If so, Sync your iPhone contacts & Calendar to MobileMe then Sync MobileMe to your new MBP.
    If not, I don't know if Apple has an easy way to send your Pc stuff to your new MBP but I think that you can sync your PC contacts and calendar to a Google account then sync google to your new MBP.
    There might be an easier way to do this.
    I am sure you'll enjoy your new Mac.

  • IPhone contacts - Delete group from iphone?

    How do i get rid of contact groups from the iPhone (this one is named "Group Name"), that i deleted in address book?
    This stems from a sync bug. When i created a group in address book named "Family", it showed up on my phone as "Group Name" with no contacts inside. I had to rename "Family" to "Familyy" and create a new group named "Family". I then dragged the contacts into it and deleted "Familyy". I still have that dead group named "Group Name" on my iPhone.
    How do i delete the group from my iPhone? It doesn't exist in address book.

    So should i assume that once something is on my phone, its there forever?
    No, but as you provided with your original post, you are attributing this to a sync bug and if a bug, you must do something different from the norm to resolve it.
    If you are syncing all Address Book Groups, not select Groups, all Address Book Groups should be available on your iPhone and be identical to the Groups in the Address Book on your Mac and should be kept synchronized. Something went wrong, due to a sync bug or due to something else.
    How do i take something off?
    If there is an address book group on your iPhone which is not available with the Address Book on your Mac, it should be removed via the iTunes sync process. If not, the instructions I provided should resolve it. If you are syncing direct with the Address Book on your Mac via the iTunes sync process, and Contacts is not available to select under the Advanced section below the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences for replace this info on your iPhone, something else is wrong.

  • IPhone 5c case separates from phone

    My husbands iPhone 5c as well as my iPhone 5c both purchased in December the colored back case has separated from the phone? What can we do? It feels like you would crack it if you pressed on it to put it back on.

    Take the device to Apple for evaluation.

  • IPhone 4: No sound from phone receiver

    Hi all. I'm not sure if anybody else is having this problem. Just got my new iPhone4 yesterday. Was excited until last night. Everything works fine and well, good signals, camera, wifi, etc. Unfortunately, found a serious problem. There is no sound coming out from the receiver for both incoming and outgoing calls. I can hear sound if I activate the built-in speaker or when plug in the stereo earpiece, but not from the receiver. Ipod and Youtube works fine with the speaker and earpiece. I updated the firmware to 4.1 still no fix, I have restored the phone countless times with no fix too. Is this a known problem and it's a faulty set? Should I get an exchange from Apple? I'm in Singapore. Thanks all!

    I know this is probably sounds like a silly question, but you have taken the protective plastic off that came with the phone? Excluding that, and with the restores you've already done it sounds like you have a defective phone.

  • Backup sms contact and call history to pc

    Hello ,
    I got the nokia 920 based on the camera hype at the time of it’s first unveiling. To my surprised it turned out my old Galaxy S2 took better pictures in my opinion.
    Here is my question, I am trying to backup my entire phone (has to be sent in for repairs led light died) and **bleep** to my surprised the most common and convenient way for me to backup my previous phones, which is to plug it into your pc and backup “everything” is not listed.
    With the pc option on the phon app it only allows me to save my photos, vids and music. I cannot comprehend why Nokia/MS did not add the option to save/backup sms, contacts, app settings and phone call history option to your pc. At some point and time MS/Nokia had to make a decision of phone users to backup your most personal information using their cloud, all the while forfeiting you from having the option of saving it to your “personal computer”. Let me think…hm it cost a lot of money to buy and maintain the cloud servers they use, and as far as I can tell you don’t pay a single cent, unless you want more cloud data ….ask yourself what’s in it for the perverted F**Ks. I think most of us won’t allow a stranger to just walk right up into your house and begin to observe your eating habits, tv shows you watch etc. Don’t tell me either that only you can access your info…it’s simply **bleep**.
    Why am I being forced to use the “cloud” why would I want my personal info on someone else’s machine. I do not own the server and do not have admin rights. If they had advertised you could not conduct a simple backup of everything via pc, I would never have gotten this phone. I like the ability to choose/have a choice especially after paying $600 for a phone, just to have MS/Nokia to make the decision for me.
    I can understand why some people would want to use the cloud, but not everyone should be forced to use it.
    How do I back up contacts, call history, sms messages to my pc without being fingered in the cloud, against my will.
    Thank you for your time

    it is a wp8 device, so go into your settings/backup
    and choose to have all that backed up to your ms account you have on the device.
    this will back up your sms/phone log info and your contacts (so long as you are saving your contacts to your live account)
    if your contacts are synced to another account, like google/etc. then that should be synced as well.
    when you log into your new wp8 device, and start to set it up, use the same MS account you currently do and it should automatically connect and restore your sms/contacts (provided you use the MS account)
    as for the applications...you can go to windowsphone.com and click on reinstall next to the apps you want to reinstall in your "my account"
    if those applications do not save a file to the skydrive or their own server, then i cannot say how that data would be backed up.

  • Downloading contacts into automobile bluetooth phone book

    When I went to sync my iPhone contacts with the bluetooth phone book in my Toyota Camry, I found I couldn't do it. I asked Apple Care, and they said it can't be done yet. Has anyone found an app or a way of doing this so I don't kill myself trying to make a call?

    Yeah - can't be done as yet. I have a Lexus 2008 model & my solution was to copy all my contacts onto my old Nokia & then bluetooth them across to the Lexus - it works because the Nokia has a 'push' feature where u can select contacts on the phone & then 'send' them to another connected bluetooth device - the iPhone doesn't have this feature yet (not that I've been able to find).
