Error synching contacts from iPhone thru iTunes

I get this message after synching: iTunes could not synch contacts to iphone "iPhone" because an error occurred while committing data.
This after the latest security update for Leopard. Can anyone Help?

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Synching contacts from iPhone 5s to iPad 2 using iCloud

    I cannot get my contacts to sync on my ipad 2. I typically enter contacts on my iPhone 5s but they are not syncing to my ipad 2. (They do sync to my mac book air.) I have checked settings numerous times, as well as rebooted the ipad. Any ideas?

    Check on your iPhone
    on Settings> Mail contacts and calendars if your main account on “Contacts” is your iCloud contact.
    If your contacts are stored on another account (yahoo, gmail, hotmail) they won’t be synced to your iPad

    WHILE SYNCHING iPHONE 3 WITH iTUNES.
    MY 1700 CONTACTS VANISHED FROM iPHONE AND iTUNES.
    I AM RUNNING AROUND TO GET IT RESTORED. ANYONE THERE WHO COULD HELP.
    HOW CAN I RESTORE AND GET MY CONTACTS BACK.

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • 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:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

    or here:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • Can't synch Notes or Contacts from iPhone 3GS after upgrade to iOS5

    After I upgraded to iOS5 on my iPhone 3GS, I no longer can synch Notes and Contacts from iPhone to Outlook or iCloud. Calendar synchs OK.

    After 2 hours with Apple Support, which was great, we figured out the issue. 1-800-my-iphone. When I upgraded to iOS5 and started using the iCloud, I was unaware that my previous synching settings were still set to Yahoo.com where I had been sycning wirelessly in the past. So the Apple support tech showed me that I had multiple accounts in both Notes and Contacts. I had iPhone, iCloud, yahoo, Outlook accounts and my default settings on the iphone should have all been set to icloud. Syching was occuring, but not in icloud. It took a little manual conversion of some Notes and Contacts into the icloud folders in Outlook, but now everything works and I only display and use the iCloud accounts in Notes and Contacts. Apple realizes that this is an issue for those of us that were previously using Yahoo and equivalents for wireless synching and they provded my support free. Usually they charge $27. All is well.

  • 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...

    by mistake my contacts are deleted from iphone and the pc which itunes installed is corrupted, i have the itunes backup folder,is this possible to restore the contacts from my old itunes backup folder to iphone!?

    unless you had them synced with icloud or some other email account, very unlikely

  • How to download contacts from iPhone 4 to iTunes?

    How do you download contacts from iphone 4 to itunes?  I followed the steps but I cant find them in itunes.

    You don't.  Itunes is not a contact/address program.  It does not contain your contacts.
    They would be in whatever program you chose to sync.  Address Book for example.

    My computer was stolen. How do i transfer music from iPhone to iTunes?,

    You can recover any purchased songs that are on iPhones using the procedure here.
    If this is not available, you can ask Apple to allow you to download your music again. Note that, first, they DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS. Purchase of music from the iTunes store entitles you to one download of that item. Second, note that if Apple does allow you to download a second time, they have to pay royalties on each download, whether you pay for it or not. Last, if they allow it, please back up your purchases.
    To request a redownload, contact iTunes support from the menus in iTunes or use this page.
    Best of luck.

  • How do you Sync Contacts from iPhone to MacBook?

    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 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.

    Welcome to the world of Macs. See this introduction to Macs. It might be that you need to sync your iPhone with you MBP. To do this you would connect your iPhone to your MBP which should start up iTunes so you can sync music, vids, and possibly contacts.
