Hi there rupert75,
The fist thing you may want to try is troubleshooting the Wi-Fi issues you are experiencing. The article below what more information on that process.

If that doesn't help, there are a few alternatives for you. One option is to sync your contacts to iCloudd. This can be done by turning Contacts on under Settings > iCloud on your iPhone. If your MacBook is running OS X 10.7 or later, you can sync these contacts to your computer. The article below has more information.

Another option, if you are just looking to back up your device, is to back up using iTunes. Take a look at the "Use iTunes" section of the article below for more information on that option.

    How do you Sync Contacts from iPhone to MacBook?
    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.

  • Can I copy contacts from iPhone to iPad

    Can I copy contacts from iPhone to iPad

    Sort of........I'm going to assume you're a Windows person?  When you sync your iPhone, you would direct where you store the iPhone contacts.  Again, assuming you're Windows, you have the option to store them in Windows, Yahoo or Google.  You do this by opening your iPhone after sync and click Information above, which is where the option to store them in Windows, Google or Yahoo is.  Once you've done that, then getting them to your iPad is easy.  After you sync your iPad, open it like you did your iPhone and again click the Information tab above and tell iPad where the contact should sync from (Windows, Google or Yahoo).

  • How to copy contacts from Iphone to different GSM phone

    how to copy contacts from Iphone to different GSM phone? I am trying to copy contacts from my iphone to normal phone which is not an android phone or another iphone.

    You can sync your contacts to a compatible address book on your computer or cloud service.
    How to get them from there into your 'other GSM phone' is completely dependent on the phone. Ask the manufacturer of your phone...
    You may be able to send them via text message and save them in the other phone.  Again, ask the manufacturer or read the manual.

  • Can you copy contacts from iphone 3gs to a pc?

    I want to copy my contacts from iphone 3gs to pc so i can copy them back to my new iphone 4 is that possible?

    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer. With XP, this can be with Outlook 2003, 2007, or with 2010 if 2010 is supported with XP along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only. Not a good idea to depend on your iPhone or on any cell phone alone for this data which can be lost or stolen.
    If you don't have Outlook available and you don't use Windows Contacts - Windows Contacts is empty, before the first sync for this data, enter one contact in Windows Contacts. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select. Syncing contacts with Windows Contacts is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

  • Copy contacts from iPhone to Address Book in Outlook

    Hi there,
    I'm asking to see whether it's possible to copy contacts from an iPhone to the Address Book in Outlook, reason why I ask is that I am trying to help my Managing Director with his wife's Outlook issue as described in the following link http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-outlook/outlook-cont acts-wont-display-in-address-book/e7c919cd-3e68-4cab-9b21-4e0080827e21?tm=142262 7591302, if so please could you either instruct me on how to do this or to point me to some references on how to go about this.
    Kind regards,
    RocknRollTim

    I have the same problem, sort of. When syncing iPhone with Windows Address Book, address entries that have more than one email address, get synced with only one email address. My only work around was to switch syncing address books from Windows Address Book to Outlook 2003. Now that iTunes 4 had messed up iPhone syncs with Outlook 2003's I've done one final sync with Windows Address Book, turn off the sync address feature in the sync window, and manually updated my address entries manually on the iPhone. I hope that Apple fixes this issue with Outlook 2003 soon, cause this is not why I shelled out $599 for a Treo upgrade!

  • How to import contacts from iPhone to Macbook Address Book...?

    Whenever I go under
    iTunes > Info > Sync Contacts
    It tries to import my empty contact list ON my mac to my iPhone, rather than import my iPhone contacts onto my Mac. How do I import my contacts into my address book?
    Please be specific, because from my previous research on how to do it.... it was a very vague explanation.
    Thank you!

    Without a unique contact in the macbook address book, it will delete all the contacts from the phone. You must have a unique contact in the macbook to trigger the merge response from iTunes when you go to sync. Also, make sure you take the time in iTunes preferences to put the checkmark where it says Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. That way you have complete control over the sync process.

  • Importing contacts from iPhone to MacBook Pro's address book

    Do I need to download and install iTunes onto my MacBook Pro, in order to transfer contacts from my iPhone into my MacBook Pro's address book? If I simply plug my iPhone into my MacBook Pro's USB port, is there a way to get it to sync to my address book? Or do I need to first install iTunes; as is the case for syncing to Outlook running under Windows?

    You need iTunes (it should already be on your MBP, though!).
    Also, if your goal is to transfer the contacts from the iPhone to the computer, you must have at least one new contact in the MBP's Address Book app. If it's empty, the contacts on the phone will be wiped. Create a new (dummy) contact, then sync the iPhone and you'll be prompted to Merge or Replace the data - choose the Merge option.
