Does syncing contacts with itunes take information from the phone or from computer email

Im trying to update current iphone 3GS via itunes so that I can move all data / information to new iphone 4G3

When syncing the old phone it wants to update contacts.  is it taking contacts from phone to computer or computer to phone.   what happens if they are both different?

    You really need a newer Mac Mini with a true HDMI output, because that Mac Mini's DVI output does not support Audio.
    You might try a 3.5mm to RCA adapter
    from the Mac Mini's headphone jack to the TV's audio input,
    but that would require being able to select the Audio input in the TVs menu while using it's HDMI input.
    Optionally you could also use an external 2.1 Speaker System or patch the audio from the Mac Mini to your home stereo system to enhance that older Mac Mini's audio.

    Sorry for my english i'm spanish

    I have not tried that...I will look up the process so that I can do it correctly (and still transfer all of my files, contacts, etc).  Any suggestions?  What is the advantage of restoring as a new device..is this more akin to a complete wipe of a hard drive?

  • IPhone 4s (7.0.2) hangs at 'Syncing Contacts' with iTunes 11.1

    There seems to be a myriad of these various syncing issues posted; none of which have been answered and none that are exactly what I'm experiencing.
    My wife's 4s (iOS 7.0.2) has been hanging at syncing Contacts on iTunes 11.1 (iMac; Mountain Lion) the past several days. It never gets past "Syncing Contacts".
    Doesn't anyone have any advice. I've hard re-booted her iPhone; re-booted the iMac.
    We don't have this problem with either my iPhone 5 (7.0.2), her 2nd-gen iPad or her old iPot Touch.
    We share the same contacts and calendars across all of these devices and the iMac.

    May have solved it so am posting back.
    I had tried several times to sync the 4s after turning off the syncing of 'Contacts' (but telling iTunes to "retain" the contacts that are on the phone and NOT delete them). That managed to get through all other sync stages. However it still wouldn't sync completely; again hanging at 'Syncing Contacts' whenever I would turn that feature of the sync process back on.
    Just this morning I opted to Repair Permissions on the iMac's hard drive. I noticed severl repairs made to iTunes-related files' permissions.
    Tonight on the first try, the 4s synced trouble free.

  • Hi, I was given an iphone 3gs. Upon trying to sync with itunes I discovered that the phone has actually been jailbroken. I cannot get my iphone to work at all now. Does anyone know what to do?

    The phone has given me a 1015 error - unknown error has occured, during the firmwre comfirmation.
    We have tired the tricks with holding the home button down for 10 secs etc, we have tried installing a number of different versions of itunes, but no joy.
    We did do a backup of the phone before trying to sync it but can't re-install that either.
    I have been told the only way to get the phone functional again is to re-jailbreak it, do a back up of that and try to udpate back to the apple IOS from there but the phone is not responding.
    It turns on, and is in emergancy mode only, wehn I put hte sim in it's not recognising it, all it wants is to connect to itunes, which it wont do when you try.
    I don't know what to do try next, at a dead end here.
    I don't want a jail broken phone, I just want it to function like its meant to but at this stage I will settle for a phone that works at all.
    Any suggestions,,,,,,,,, anyone??
    Thanks for reading and considering my problem.

    Have latest version of iTunes installed and running. Also make sure you have internet access working and can access Apple websites. Also, make sure you don't have any entries in your hosts file referring to gs.apple.com....If your not sure about how to do that, go ahead and do the rest first. You can come back to that later.....Plug in phone. Put phone in DFU mode.(google put iphone in DFU mode for instructions) Then restore the phone in iTunes by highliting your device in the left column and click on the Restore button. The latest iOS version is 4.3.3. That's what iTunes will restore it to. When it's done restoring, iTunes will ask if you want to restore from a backup or setup as a new phone. I would use the Setup as a New Phone option. Once it's done, you should have a clean install of the iOS and an operating phone, as long as there are no hardware issues with it.

  • Syncing problem with itunes after restoring to a new PC from iPod

    My old PC crashed and I copied my iTunes libray to a new PC from my iPod. The libray includes several songs taken from CD's I purchased plus several songs that I had purchased from iTunes. I also "authorized" the new PC. However, when I sync now none of the purchased songs from my new iTunes file will copy back to the iPod. It will only sync the songs from my personal CD collection. I get a message that the iPod is not authorized for these songs. Any suggestions for a fix?

    Try deauthorising your PC and authorise it over again, this can sometimes clear a "not authorised" problem: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • USB sync Contacts with iTunes

    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!!

  • Syncing contacts with iTunes without using iCloud

    Since the new iTunes Version 11.1.3 it seems not possible to sync contacts, browser bookmarks and other things via WLAN sync. I don't want to see my contacts on Apple servers in order to be synced via iCloud.
    Is there any possibility to sync an iPhone with iTunes without using iCloud. I'm quite angry Apple not leaving the decision on how to sync my iPhone up to me.

    User error.

  • The screen on my iPhone 4 turned black while i was using it-it was not dropped or damaged in anyway. The phone itself is still working as it comes up in itunes when I plug the phone into my computer, but the screen is completley black. What can I do?

    The screen on my iPhone has gone black while I was using it. It just "shut off". The phone is still working  as I can hear/see it when it plugs into the computer, but the screen just wont turn on. I've tried the soft reset "holding down home and lock screen" and i've tried to restore settings. I went to the apple store and they said I had to send it to my provider (in another country) but my phone contract has run out.
    Is there a way to fix this?
    If not, is there some way apple can replace the phone? It's less than 2 years old. Surely the screen shouldn't just give out like that.
    Thank you

  • Syncing contacts with itunes

    Can I delete the contacts list stored on itunes and replace it with the contacts list that I presently have on my iphone?  The list stored on itunes has many inaccuracies and I don't want them placed back on my phone.  Thanks.

    There are no contacst store on itunes.  Itunes is not an address book.
    Your contacts are in whatever program you chose to sync (Outlook for example).
    Your contacts live on your computer and are simply mirrored on your iphone.
    You can delete all contacts from your computer, then add one unique contact on the computer.  When you sync you should then get the option to merge.

  • When I connected my new iphone 4S to the computer the first thing it asked me was to rename it, why didnt it ask me to choose a previous backup from the phone or from the computer first?

    The first step it gave me was to rename my new phone which i did and it has caused many problems for me, it didnt back up my calender, camera roll, notes or even contacts on my new iphone but they still show up for the old one, I dont understand what the problem is, the iphone had started up and was at the main screen and the computer just asked what should the new device be called it never started with the process to either select as new phone or to back it up, why is that????

    I think we both have the same issue: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3714941?start=0&tstart=0

  • Syncing contacts with groups from Torch to Mac

    We have a BlackBery Torch, the latest operating system for Apple (OSX Lion), the latest update of BlackBerry Desktop software and the latest update on the Torch.
    When we perform a sync from the Torch, it syncs all contacts but without the groups. How do you sync contacts with groups? To clarify, the contacts are in groups on the BlackBerry. 
    Thanks!

    Anyone ever experience syncing contacts with groups on a Mac?
