How to delete contacts from iPhone and update changes to PC after synch?

I spend a lot of time deleting old/unwanted/duplicated contacts on iPhone. Then I synch with PC through iTunes and I get two options: 1. MERGE or 2. Replace contacts on iPhone with PC information. If I click MERGE then all those contacts I deleted come back to my iPhone. MERGE seems to be a merely 'collapse' information feature...whether is from PC to iPhone or viceversa.
Obviously I don't want to replace my iPhone contacts with those in PC, because then I will loose all those pictures I took to my contacts...also, all the time spent assigning pictures to contacts will go to trash can.
This is kind of irritating...am I the only one having this problem? Active Synch for SmartPhones or Pocket PC nailed this down beautifully (it knows where the latest/most updated information happened and keeps that one).
Help please.

Thank you for trying to help.
I don't want to replace the information on my iPhone because in my iPhone where i have the most updated information (pictures assigned to contacts and deleted duplicated/unwanted contacts)...I would like to replace the contacts on my PC instead.
After doing what you are suggesting will I be able to replace information on my PC? Is this what you mean?
Thank you.

  • How to copy contacts from Iphone to different GSM phone

    how to copy contacts from Iphone to different GSM phone? I am trying to copy contacts from my iphone to normal phone which is not an android phone or another iphone.

    You can sync your contacts to a compatible address book on your computer or cloud service.
    How to get them from there into your 'other GSM phone' is completely dependent on the phone. Ask the manufacturer of your phone...
    You may be able to send them via text message and save them in the other phone.  Again, ask the manufacturer or read the manual.

    How to delete podcasts from Iphone without internet connection?

    Are you trying to delete them from the Podcasts app? Like most other places, you should be able to swipe your finger across the title, as if you were striking it out, then tap delete.
    If you can't swipe to delete it, you can delete some content from apps like Music from Settings > General > Usage.

  • How to import contacts from iPhone 4s to mac book

    Hi,
    I'm trying to figure out how to import my contacts from iphone 4s to my mac book. I already managed to import the photos as iphoto popped automatically, but the contacts seem to be more tricky.
    Appreciate your help!

    for Mac OS X:
    - use iTunes
    - choose your iPhone and go to the INFO tab
    - tick sync contact then sync
    for Mac OS Mavericks:
    - update both devices and iTunes then follow the same steps above.
    or use iCloud in both devices.

    How do export contacts from my old iphone to my new iphone?

    You don't.  Your contacts should be on your computer (Address Book or Outlook) or with a cloud service.  All you need to do is synch your new phone with your computer or cloud service.

  • 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.

  • How to delete email from iPhone ONLY and not from server?

    Hi. I have a Yahoo! POP mail account.. Can anyone advise me how to setup my iPhone so it ONLY deletes email from the iPhone and NOT the server. So, after I read an email on the iPhone and delete it, the email remains in the INBOX on the server? If not, I will send a feedback to Apple. BTW - I can dl and send email just fine. Thank you.

    ampullae,
    When you setup Yahoo on the iPhone it defaults to IMAP because Yahoo offers free IMAP Push for iPhone users, as discussed in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305882
    If you add your Yahoo account as "other" it will be setup as POP.
    With IMAP messages are stored on the server, and messages created in one email client, such as the iPhone, show up in the sent mailbox on both. In addition messages moved to a different folder on the iPhone, will be in a different folder when you access your Yahoo mail via a web browser or another IMAP client. Likewise message you delete, will also be synchronized and deleted.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.
