Export iPhone contacts to iTunes

I have a MacBook, am running Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion [I installed extra RAM]. Prior to installing extra RAM, synching my iPhone with iCloud caused duplicates of every contact in my MacBook Address book. I've exported my vCards to my Desktop and want to re-import my iPhone contacts to iTunes. I am having trouble.
Any suggestions?

I saw that suggestion and tried it....it did not work. When I turn iCloud off, then resynch...it creates duplicates again on my MacBook. Getting frustrated as some of the duplicate contacts have different information...as if all the versions of the contact are being duplicated to my MacBook.
Any suggestions?

How do I find my iPhone Contacts in iTunes? I'm backing up my iPhone 4S to iTunes (and not to iCloud).

Hello,
I'm backing up my iPhone 4S to iTunes (and not to iCloud).
I haven'tyet needed to restore the backup to my existing phone or a new phone.
Is there a way to check in iTunes whether my Contacts are stored there?
Also, occasionally, after a backup, I am unable to locate some names/information in my iPhone Contact list.
Is there a way to prevent this?
Thanks.

If you want to free up your memory, maybe first checking to see if you got duplicates. -
From the File menu in iTunes, choose Show Duplicates. iTunes will then list all of the duplicate titles in your library.
If you delete a music in the iTunes folder, then when you try to play that particular music in your iTunes, it won't work as iTunes wouldn't be able to find it. However, when you import music on to your computer, always import straight into your iTunes, no where else.

Cannot sync iphone contacts to itunes to sync with address book

need to import iPhone contacts into new mac.trying to use iTunes, but it is not syncing. Tried mobile me, no luck. Help

What is the problem?
Why not move everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one?
If you sync your iphone to a blank computer, then the contacts will be erased.

How do I retrieve my backed up iphone contacts from itunes and transfer them to a blackberry?

Help, I am struggling! I have had to change work phones from iPhone to Blackbery. How do I retrieve my backed up iphone contacts from my itunes player and transfer them to a blackberry? Is this even possible? I no longer have my old iPhone, but thought that I could just transfer them all over to a bb if I had backed up before I gave the iPhone back.

iTunes does not and has never contained contacts. It is not a contact management application.
Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Ask BlackBerry how to get the contacts from whatever application or cloud service your contacts have been synced with to your new phone.

How do I sync Iphone contacts without iTunes

My mom has an iPhone 3gs and I am trying to help her with apps.
I tried to download an app for her, but it says "This iPhone requires the iphone 3.2 update". I tried to update the iphone on her computer, but her computer is all messed up and I can't install the latest version of itunes. (she has windows vista, probably a bunch of spyware. For all intents and purposes the computer isn't usable)
So, I tried to plug her iphone into my computer and it says it cannot read the iphone and it recommended that I restore the iPhone.
I'd like to restore the computer so she can have the ios software update, but I need to know how to backup her contacts and pictures without using iTunes.
I have an android phone and I know I can just sync with google contacts, but she doesn't use email, let alone outlook or mobileme.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

As iTunes is still currently listed as a requirement for the iPhone as well as a computer with certain specs, there really isn't an option. You will have to use iTunes to do any backing up of data.

Synching iPhone Contacts through ITunes with Google Contacts.. DUPLICATES

I have an iPhone 3GS and a Windows 7 Computer. I can NOT figure out how to stop the duplication (or triplication +)of contacts from happening every single time i sync my phone to my google contacts.
I don't have outlook - so a few months ago when I got a new computer I set it up so my iTunes syncs my contacts with "Google Contacts". Not all my contacts, but some of them (no rhyme or reason that i can tell) duplicate everytime I sync. I've deleted directly from Google Contacts and also directly from IPhone - neither works. Any suggestions? My contacts lists on both ends are a mess.
Oh - one other thing - I went into iTunes and pressed "configure" in the sync contacts section -- and it does nothing. I get no box that has settings. Is this a bug?

Then you do not want to sync contacts directly with a supported application through iTunes on your computer. You should set up your syncing with google as outlined here:
http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740
To get rid of your duplicates, follow the directions here:
Deselect Sync Contacts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by selecting Apply, and leave this deselected from here on out or the contacts on your iPhone will be duplicated again.
On your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Select your Google account.
Turn Contacts off for over the air syncing. A warning message should be provided indicating this will erase all contacts downloaded from and being kept synchronized with your Google online address book along with an option to save these contacts locally on your iPhone. Decline this prompt.
This will not erase the contacts synced directly with your computer via the iTunes sync process.
Follow this by turning Contacts back on for over the air syncing.
You will be provided a merge prompt, which you want to select.
This will get rid of the duplicates as long as you leave Sync Contacts deselected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Doing both is not required and does nothing but duplicate the contacts on your iPhone.

How to edit iphone contacts in itunes? (Windows 7)

Hello people! i've just got an iphone 4, and its my first iphone, i've synced all my facebook contacts with the iphone, but now i've got loads of contacts which just have an email, and not a phone number. is there a way to edit them on my computer instead of the iphone itself, as it takes time to do every single one by hand, as i've got around 500 entries now! any help would be appreciated thanks!

When you connect the iPhone to the computer through iTunes, you have the option to sync contants to a supported application. On a Windows 7 machine, that would be Windows contacts or Outlook. Just make sure you have at least one unique contact in which ever application you are going to use to trigger the Merge command. Then open that application on the computer and off you go.
@ssonnic if you are using Google to sync, you can log into Google on the computer and do your editing there.

How do i sync my iphone contacts to my computer so its backed up? but no sync computer contacts to my iphone 4?

If I sync my iphone, will it put all my iphone contacts in itunes, so i can restore and back it up and still have all my contacts on itunes for windows without pressing the sync contacts button in the itunes iphone syncing section that allows you to sync with yahoo and gmail etc....?

Using iCloud is the easiest way: http://www.apple.com/uk/icloud/setup/

HT1386 Why doesn't my iphone show up when I plug it into my computer? I do not have a listing for "devices" and thus cannot backup my iphone contacts etc.

I am trying to backup my iphone contacts through itunes... Oddly, my iphone 4 is not visible under 'Devices' when I plug it into the USB port on the computer. It doesn't seem that I will be able to connect to or access or change anything unless my phone shows up as a Device in Itunes on the left side. Suggestions? I have tried two different ports and neither permits my iphone to show up as a device in itunes.
Appreciatively,
Donna

I will go back to step one on your support link that suggests checking the USB cord. or connectors I use it to charge the phone all the time but the phone does not register as a device in my computer either. I tried all four ports. Thanks. You have me off on a new path... hopefully to find a solution.

Iphone contacts

How do I get my iphone contacts from itunes without my phone. I lost my phone and waiting to get new one.
Thanks.

With your iPhone connected to iTunes...Select your INFO tap and insure that you have Sync contacts from Outlook selected with All contacts. To use outlook you must have it activated and an account built, otherwise it will have nothing to relate to. Unsure what email you use but you should be able to build an account using that email. If its MSN you will have to go to something like izymail to built an IMAP account since it does not support the http format. Hope that helps.
Good Luck

Sync Outlook 2010' Contacts with iTunes

How can I define on iTunes settings, that My Outlook 2010 Contacts, will change the Contacts details on iTunes( and of course my iPhone 4 ) ?
And vice versa ?
Thanks

Just another question / idea:
Can I sync the iphone contacts with itunes on the Macbook AND the Windows XP computer?
I mean I could imagine the sync's as follows:
from Windows XP:
* Outlook 2010 contacts
* Outlook 2010 calendar
* music
from Macbook:
* contacts
OR
from Windows XP:
* Outlook 2010 contacts
* Outlook 2010 calendar
from Macbook:
* contacts
* music
How would I have to do the set-up?

Exporting iPhone Ringtones from iLife09 - Garageband.

Hey all,
Having a slight hassel getting Garageband to export iPhone ringtones to iTunes... I have the latest updates for all programs, and I'm following the same process that used to work in iLife 08, it just doesn't seem to work.
Aside from this little thing not working for me, the program is A1!
Any ideas would be helpful.
Cheers,
Dave.

I'll respond seeing as I'm having exactly the same issue. I create a sub 30 second loop, choose export ringtone to iTunes. A blue progress bar tells me the ringtone is being made, iTunes is booted and lo and behold, nothing appears in the ringtones area. More annoyingly, I have I've sucessfully done this before, but about 3 months ago it stopped working. I updated to iLife '09 (from '08) with no effect. I've downloaded M4r files from the web and dragged them into iTunes with no problem, but it refuses to play when exporting from Garageband. I don't think it's a protected file issue because I'm trying to do it with copyright free loops from Garageband.
HELP!
