Everytime I sync my iphone to my computer, it duplicates my contact list. How do I change the settings to sync only changes?
Allan Sampson's fix here should sort you out

I tried to sync my iphone 4, all my contact list got messed up, all of them got douplicated. And plus I got some of my old deleted contact lists back to my iphone!!what should I do?
iTunes only keeps one backup, every new backup replaces the old one, only backups used to restore from are not overwritten and marked with a time stamp.
If you can't find any other backup in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, your contact info's are gone. Only if you included the backup folder in your computer backup routine, you would be able to restore the old backup folder containing the latest backup at that time.
The location of the backup folder is described in this article: iPhone and iPod touch: About backups -
everytime I sync my iPhone 4 it pops up a notice saying that my iphone cannot be written to or read from. wont apply changes at the end of the sync cycle. it synced once and now nothing! help?
Did a health check on my Drive D: Issues were found and repaired. Disabled Kaspersky and tried a sync with iTunes (Success). Re-enable Kaspersky and iTunes is still working. Interesting in that I thought my iTunes only involved Drive C: What led me to problems with Drive D: were indications that there was a problem with Adobe cache for Adobe Bridge. I also purged that cache. In looking at my nightly backup there was also an indication there had been some intermittent issues of not being able to read the disk.
Bottom line... all is working again and need to continue to monitor the health of my second hard drive. -

I set up iCloud on my iPhone, after that my contact list was disapeared, and I coudn't find out in my iCloud account. so How can I get back my contact list?
If your contacts aren't on icloud.com when you check from your computer, and they aren't on your phone, you'll have to try restoring your last backup (or recover them from another backup source).

I restart my iphone then lose my contacts list
I did restat my iphone , then i lost contacts list number , my note ,my photo .
Hey c3095016,
iCloud and iTunes can back up most data on your iPhone, including photos and video in the Camera Roll, Contacts, app data, and more. If you backed up your device using either of those methods, you can restore those items by following the directions in this article:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content

Have a good one,

When syncing multiple iPhones iTunes resets configured contacts
We have 3 iPhones (2 3GS, 1 3G) that sync with iTunes on one computer using the same iTunes account. Every once in a while, after one iPhone syncs the next iPhone to sync gets the contacts from the first iPhone. So my wife and daughter both sync contacts with separate Yahoo address books. When my daughter synced her iPhone last night, iTunes synced with my wife's address book. My daughter lost all of her contacts. We got them all restored from the backup so we were able to recover. When we later looked at the contacts configuration, iTunes was using my wife's address book with my daughter's iPhone. Is this a bug in iTunes?
Your best option is to set up multiple user accounts, one for each member of the family, and enable Fast User Switching to avoid this.
The iPhone will sync with only one Address Book hence the reason you keep overwriting each others' data. -
How do I import contacts from my iPhone 4s into Yahoo Contact List for editing?
Trying to clean up duplicate contact information on my iPhone and want to import into a blank address book for consolidation of duplicate contacts and information, then replace the existing contacts on the iPhone with the newly edited list. Any way of doing that?
In iOS 6 you can connect your iPhone to your computer and upload to iPhoto directly.
• Mac: Select the photos and videos you want, then click the Import or Download button in iPhoto or other supported photo application on your computer. -

Syncing multiple iPhones with iCal and contacts
My roommate just bought an iPhone and synced it for the first time with my iMac, but now he has all of my contacts and calendar appointments and none of his own. Do iCal and Contacts support multiple profiles? Is it possible for him to store his contacts on my iMac with iLife and sync without interfering with my contacts?
Sorry if this is a noobish question or if it's already been answered. I looked and couldn't readily find any topics that matched this question.
Message was edited by: k2tha-izzoYour roommate will need to have all of his contacts in a specific group, as well as all of his calendar appointments in a specific calendar.
In iTunes, go to the info tab on the iPhone in iTunes and have it only sync that calendar/group. -
I have been syncing my phone with Outlook for some time successfully but just noticed that there are now contacts on my Iphone which don't appear in my Outlook contacts. I also noticed that those that appear in both places have "linked cards" on their contact information on my Iphone while the ones that don't appear in Outlook are missing this "linked card" designation. I just signed up for ICloud so don't know if that has anything to do with it. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

How do I sync my IPhone 4S with GMail contacts
My IPHONE 4S does not sync contacts with GMAIL How can I have them sync?
I just learned how at Apple store today.
Set-up your gmail email account on iPhone as a Microsoft Exchange account type, NOT a Gmail.
Do not use a domain
When asked, after initial verify, enter the following for the server: m.google.com
I then deleted the other gmail email account I had set-up previously.
Works great for me!
