Your iphone should sync to address book and ical. The settings are in itunes, with your iphone connected.
Maybe you should review the users guide:

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.

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).

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?

hi me kashif Hello people,
I lost all my contacts on my iPhone. Facebook contacts integration is turned off. When I got to know that I have no contacts on my iPhone. I checked my settings and iCloud backup and contacts on iCloud (in settings) were off.
Is there a solution to get all my contacts back? Please help me. I want my contacts back, as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance.
iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.4

Unless as part of a backup, or stored somewhere else, they are gone.
Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. He can continue to use yours for iTunes content, but for everything else, he needs his own.
When you did what you did, as far as iCloud knows, this is the same person with multiple devices, and that's they way things are supposed to work: keep everything in sync.

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.

As with every computing device, a backup is your ONLY insurance should anything ever go wrong with your device.
Without a backup, if something does happen to go awry, you will loose whatever you have not backed up.
So my response is, of course you need a backup. You always need a backup, no matter what.

Iphone contacts "not available" to car phonebook after messing around with Outlook.pst file names and backups. Iphone4 connects to car though and other phones connect properly.

iphone contacts "not available" to car phonebook after messing around with Outlook.pst files, names and backups, on my ms XP 2003 laptop. I substituted a much smaller new Personal Folder -Contacts File, with a smaller list of phone numbers (4 only as a test) which successfully synced to the iPhone 4. The iPhone connects to the Skoda Octavia HandsFreeSystem OK (Bluetooth works fine), but now iPhone wont load the new Contacts as it did originally. However a family Nokia (never messed with) can connect properly. So must be the iPhone or more likely an Outlook.pst \ Contacts problem. Ideas?

After fiddling a little more, the following fixed my corrupted outlook.pst file:
1) I made a backup
2) In outlook under file, I exported the calendar to excel
3) In outlook under file, I imported the calendar back to outlook
And voila, it worked.

My iPhone contacts disappeared. Is it possible to make backup?

Today I cannot acces to the setiings in my iphone, so i switched it off and when i switched on, all my iphone contacts were gone. Is it possible to make some backup of the contacts?
Thank you in advance for your help

Thsi seems to be happening a lot. Mine just disappeared out of no where last night. I wasn't on the phone or anything. My sister texted me and I picked up my phone to see who it was and it just showed her number. I checked my contacts turned the phone off and back on and my contacts still weren't back.
Anyone get an answer from APPLE on this issue. I have never had problems with my Iphones before but have had many problems with the 4s from the battery running down now to this. I refused to upgrade when my 4s is just a little over a year old.

Updating iPhone 4S to iOS 6 and restore from backup - losing contacts again and again

Hi there,
I updatet today my iPhone to iOS 6. Before that I made a new backup (and have old ones too).
Everytime when I restore it now from a backup, the contacts are again there but then after hours, from one moment to another, the contacts are gone.
Some contacts are still there, I think that a really old ones.
I don't use the iCloud, I disabled iCloud every time in the settings and have no WiFi connection at home. Otherwise everytime when I must activate the iPhone after restoring, i do not activate the iCloud. I know iOS 6 wish this in activation process but I don't want to use the iCloud.
I'm ****** of because of that, tomorrow I will travel to Bremen (Germany) and I need my iPhone and of course my contacts.
Any idea what is goining on?
Sorry for my bad english, I hope somebody can help.

What were you syncing your contacts with? If you were not syncing them to a contact manager or cloud service as intended, you may have to purchase 3rd party software to try and extract what informaion there is from the backup.

HT1386 Why doesn't my iphone show up when I plug it into my computer? I do not have a listing for "devices" and thus cannot backup my iphone contacts etc.

I am trying to backup my iphone contacts through itunes... Oddly, my iphone 4 is not visible under 'Devices' when I plug it into the USB port on the computer. It doesn't seem that I will be able to connect to or access or change anything unless my phone shows up as a Device in Itunes on the left side. Suggestions? I have tried two different ports and neither permits my iphone to show up as a device in itunes.
Appreciatively,
Donna

I will go back to step one on your support link that suggests checking the USB cord. or connectors I use it to charge the phone all the time but the phone does not register as a device in my computer either. I tried all four ports. Thanks. You have me off on a new path... hopefully to find a solution.

What happened to your phone that you are trying to restore to a backup that is encrypted? If you have your contacts in iCloud, you can just turn iCloud back on when you get the phone working, if it isn't, and that will bring your contacts back. You won't need to do a restore from an iCloud backup if you were not doing an iCloud backup anyway. If you log into www.icloud.com and look at contacts, what do you see there?

Want to backup my list of about 450 iPhone contacts, or agregate with google

Will syncing my iPhone contacts list with google contacts add to (agregate), or lose iphone contacts not already in google contacts?

i found this article that might interest you

What I personally did though to add my google contacts along with my iphone contacts is
add account in (ios settings - mail ) as a microsoft exchange. I used the google info/ settings found here http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740 , after set up is complete, you can choose whether to sync your mail, calendar, and contacts.
