Contacts from iphone into itunes

i have zero contacts in itunes right now.
i want to back my iphone contacts up in itunes, is this possible?
im scared to lose all my contacts, since ive done it once before accidentally (i was luckily able to recover most of them)
thanks.

No - the iPhone doesn't support storing contact info on the SIM card.
+iTunes includes a backup for your iPhone which includes contact info on your iPhone which is updated if needed as the first step during the iTunes sync process with your iPhone.+
+On a Mac, the iPhone supports syncing contact info with Apple's Address Book or with Microslop's Entourage address book - which is synced with Apple's Address Book.+
+On a Windows PC, the iPhone supports syncing contact info with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with Windows Contacts - the address book used by Outlook Express with XP, and used by Windows Mail with Vista, which is the name change for Outlook Express with Vista.+
If you want your iPhone contact info available on your computer, you need to sync your iPhone contact info with a supported address book app on your computer.
If you have a supported address book app available on your computer which is not being used and is empty, enter one contact in the address book on your computer before syncing contact info. Make a contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt when syncing contact info, which you want to select.
You choose a supported application on your computer for syncing contact info under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

TS1389 Error message: transfer purchases from iphone into itunes not authorized. But the computer IS authorized. Any suggestions? Thanks

Trying to transfer purchases from iphone into itunes I keep getting error that computer is not authorized. But it IS authorized, any suggestions? Thanks,

It's a straightforward port-forwarding issue.
You need to forward ports to the internal ip address of your apple tv as follows:
TCP 123
TCP 3689
UDP 5353
TCP 80
TCP 4343
TCP 53
This may also solve other problems you may have with homesharing...

How to synch/Copy all Notes & Contacts from iPhone into iPad

I have a iPhone which is containing a bulk data in Notes and Contacts App. I want all these notes and contacts to be available on my iPad which I recently purchased. How can I transfer or copy and paste these bulk data on my Pad.
How do I do that?

You have already been given the best options in the links already given. You can not regularly sync data between the devices with Lotus or iTunes alone. As outlined in the support documents Notes requires iCloud, Macs or a PC running Outlook for syncing Notes. Contacts can be done with Windows XP's Address Book, Contacts in Win7/Vista or OutLook.
Alternatively your only other option is to sync your iPhone with iTunes and let it create a Backup. Once the back up is done connect the iPad then select it in iTunes. From the iPads Summary Pane select Restore and when prompted select the iPhone's backup. This is will change all the iPad's data, settings and sync settings to be the same as the iPhone's. Any data saved to the iPad will be lost. This is a one time transfer and not a good method to keep the 2 devices in sync.

How to get music from iphone into itunes library, that was not purchased via itunes??

Hard drive crashed, I restored my itunes music from a backup, but the backup was not updated, I'm missing music that I have on my iphone playlist, this music I got from a friend, I didn't buy it from itunes. Question: How can I get this musica from the iphone into my itunes library???
Thank's for the help!!!

The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases.
You may be able to purchase a third party program ( not supported by Apple).

Upload music from iphone into itunes

I put itunes on my new computer and now am trying to back up all of the music on my new iphone into it and it won't do it. Does anyone know of a way? Thanks!

The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases
You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

Error synching contacts from iPhone thru iTunes

Problem solved through Apple iPhone Help Line. It was a bad iPhone backup.

ICloud Contacts on iPad are Not the Same as the local Contacts on my iPhone..how can i put all my Contacts from iPhone into iCloud?

I want to have all my local iPhone Contacts in the cloud to have them also on my iPad.
iCloud only saved 36 from 225 total Contacts. My IPhone Contacts are saved on the iPhone itself, but how can I Transfer them into the cloud?

The Mac uses Mac OS X and iDevices use iOS. These are two different operating systems and the apps must be written for each operating system specifically, even when the apps go by the same name, such as the iWork apps, they are two ifferent versions of the same app for the two different platforms.
So, as an example, Safari has been written for three different operating systems, Mac OS X, iOS and Windows. And the Safari apps, as similar as they are visually, are not interchangeable for the different platforms.

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 can I get songs from iPhone into iTunes

okay so on my old computer (and on my iphone now) i had/have around 1000 songs in my itunes from various websites, around half of these are free downloads of independant artists and things like that, so not purchased in itunes. the other half i did purchase. my old computer broke, so i can't get to any of the non purchased songs, besides from my phone. i transferred all my purchases into my new computers itunes so around 450 of my songs i can access, but the rest are only on my phone. itunes keeps prompting me to erase and sync but that would get rid of all the non purchased songs on my phone so they would basically be lost forever, right? i know they want me to do that to protect against illegal downloads and things like that but this stuff isn't downloaded illegally! is there anything i can do to get my music on this computer or am i basically screwed? also i've tried downloading a few free tracks from various websites (again, legally)... they are showing up in my itunes library but every time i try to drag them onto my phone it doesn't work. my computer is authorized and i've tried everyhting else i can think of... can anyone help? i have windows 8 and my itunes and iOS are both updated fully, if that makes any difference. thanks!

The iphone//ipad/ipod is not a backup/storage device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases.
There is no free, or Apple supported, way to extract any other music.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.
Iphone sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content from the iphone and replace with the content of the new computer.

Tranferring contacts from iPhone into Mac

How can I do that ?

Vague.
You should be syncing contacts to your computer regularly.
Are you not doing that?

Inputting contacts from iphone

Looking for some experience in this area:
I input contacts from iphone, and when I sync, it just goes in the main library of my contacts on my imac. Is there a way to enter the contact from iphone into a specific group before syncing? I have several different groups, and when entering them in iphone it would be nice to not have to later from the imac, find that contact, and drag it to the correct group.

The Apple Address Book database is similar to the iTunes database and iPhoto database in this regard.
You cannot place a contact in an Address Book Group without the contact being in the primary Address Book database or "All" Group first. The same with iTunes Playlists and iPhoto Albums.
This is why when importing contacts into the Address Book, all imports go to the primary Address Book "All" Group only. There is not an option to import contacts into an existing Group.
Seems like with Mac and iPhone integration and sync function, there should be a way to make this work when entering contacts on the iPhone.

I need to transfer playlists from my old iphone into itunes so that I can then add them to my new iphone 6. However, none of the playlists on my iphone appear when I connect to my macbook. I have read other threads but have not found answer. help!

I am a group exercise instructor and rely heavily on my playlists. My old phone is an iphone 4s and I just bought an Iphone 6. I also have a macbook where I keep my itunes account, but I create all my playlists on my phone. I need to transfer those playlists from my old iphone into itunes in my computer so that I can then add them to my new iphone 6. However, none of the playlists on my iphone appear when I connect to my macbook. I have read other threads where the suggestion was to attach the old phone to itunes, find the phone in itunes and click the little arrow to the left to show the playlists. Then right click on the playlist and export it, saving it to the desktop, to then import it into itunes. However, in my case, the playlists do not show up when the phone is connected to itunes. I have clicked on the little arrow and all I get is "music", "purchased", etc., but none of my playlists. I'm sure some years back I probably deleted something in my itunes library and now none of my playlists show. Please help me. I would hate to have to recreate all of my playlists. Thank you!

I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question. Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing. I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
My playlists "ARE" in my iphone 4s. They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer.
When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes. I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes: Music, Movies, TV shows, books. That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS" but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone. Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this. I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer

I recently bought a new i phone 4 as my other one had seen beter days and for the last sevral days have been trying to transfer my photos ect from my old phone to my new one after I've plugged my old iPhone into iTunes to back it up i then plug in my one to transfer it over I've had no luck I've tryed restoring my new phone to the last time i backed up my old files the phone restores but always to its own backup point wen i first connected it to iTunes can anyone help me please?

Since this is the second computer you've had this problem with, I recommend you look for answers on the iPhone forum. My thinking is it is an iPhone issue rather than a computer issue (unless it is some software incompatibility).

HT4528 I have 3 iPhones, one Ipad, and two PC's that I have tried to "connect" using one iTunes account and am having issues.I connected iPhone #3 to one PC, it removed all contacts from iPhone #3, replaced w/ contacts from iPhone #2. How can I get back?

I have 3 iPhones, one iPad and 2 PC's, all using the same iTunes account. I want to be able to have each iPhone keep their own list of accounts and music list and the I pad different as well. I want to 2 PC's music list to match. How do I do this?
Additionally, when I connected iPhone #3 to one PC, it removed the contacts from #3 and replaced it with contacts from iPhone #2. How do I get those contacts back and prevent this from happening again?

Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:
