Hey dthompson2108,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
You can sync contacts between your iPhone and MacBook Pro using iCloud or iTunes.
See this link for help with setting up iCloud on your computer and device(s):
Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
Instead of turning on iCloud on your iPhone and Mac, you can sync using iTunes as explained in this article:
Sync your iPhone, iPad, and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
All the best,

How do I transfer the music from my iPhone to my MacBook?

I recently purchased a 2007 MacBook online. Everything works fine, I don't think it's the computer that's the problem. The iTunes that I downloaded on it was to old so I had to update it to the latest version. At the time I was also updating my Mac software to OS X Snow Leopard and it had finished when I was about half way done downloading iTunes. It said I had to restart my computer so I did thinking that I would stop downloading and I would just have to re-download it again after I started my computer up again. To my surprise when I had started it up again the newest version of iTunes was downloaded. So I procceded to sync my iPhone to iTunes and all my stuff shows up with the iCloud sign in the bottom left corner. When I tried to iCloud it onto my computer it said that this computer was not authorised and that if I wanted to download these songs I would need to authorise this computer in the iTunes Store. So I went to authorise it and that took forever because the newest version of iTunes is so different from the older versions and I was very confused. Eventually I got to authorise it and then I left the store. When I got back to the library I found that all my music was gone. So I synced it again and that didn't work so for a while I was stumped. Then I found the "Transfer Purchases from "iPhone" " button and I clicked on that. So it downloaded all of my songs except they are a light shade of gray and I can't play them because they are not completly downloaded on my computer. It has a dotted circle around the ones that still need to be downloaded and I can't for the life of me figure out how to download them! I found that it downloads recent purchases that I have made ever since I set up iTunes on my computer but not the ones I made previous to setting up iTunes on this computer. I have a hunch that this is maybe because it didn't get the chance to finish downloading... I'm very confused and I'm deciding if it will just be easier to un-download it and the re-download it. Please help!

- You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
- If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

When you plug in the iPhone, go to the menu bar and select "Transfer all purchases" to move them to your MacBook Pro.
If that doesn't work. Go here for a whole list of Apps that can help you.
I personally like Music Rescue the most. You can get it here and use the License Key that they give out for FREE now.

My pc crashed and bought a new one. how do i sync the music from iphone to new pc?

My primary pc for syncing both my iPhone and iPad crashed. I have a new computer and have synced the apps but not the music on the iphone. How can I transfer the music from the iPhone to the new computer?

You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc. Use this to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy (not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases.
