Everything should live on your computer. the iphone just allows your computers content to be portable. You should have been syncing them with your computer/cloud service from day one.
Have you failed to do this?

You do not put contacts into itunes at all.
Iphone syncs contacts with Outlook, Address Book, etc on your ocmputer, not itunes.

How do I transfer iphone contacts to my PC

How do I transfer iphone contacts to my PC

1.Plug your USB cable into the computer and charge/sync cradle, which comes with your phone.
2.Place the iPhone in the cradle. iTunes should start automatically and recognize your iPhone.
3.Click on the iPhone logo in the left navigation pane of iTunes. You’ll be taken to a screen that gives you an overview of your phone and has several tabs along the top of the window, among them, "Contacts."
4.Click on the "Contacts" tab and select which contacts you want synced with your iPhone. You'll need to choose which program you want your contacts synced from. Mac users will want to use "Address Book" or "Entourage." PC users should use "Microsoft Outlook" or "Outlook Express."
5.Click the "Sync" button at the bottom of the "Contacts" pane. Your sync status will be visible in the top middle of the window. Do not remove your iPhone from the cradle until the sync is complete.
6.Eject your iPhone by clicking on the "Eject" button next to your iPhone’s logo in the left margin.
7.Check your contacts on your iPhone. Your new downloaded contacts should be there.

Transfer iphone contacts to windows contacts

hi.
i need to transfer my contacts from my iphone to windows contacts but i do not know how to go about doing it (without erasing the contacts from my iphone).
thanks in advance

There is no transfer, only a sync with the supported address book application on your computer.
If you are currently using Windows Contacts - it is populated with contact info, the first time you sync your iPhone with Windows Contacts, you should be provided a merge prompt, which you want to select. This will transfer all contact info on your iPhone that is not currently available in Windows Contacts to Windows Contacts, and transfer all Windows Contact info that is not currently available in your iPhone's address book to your iPhone's address book. The data for any contacts with the same name will be merged.
If you aren't currently using Windows Contacts - it is empty, before syncing enter one contact in Windows Contacts - make this contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt, which you want to select. This will transfer all your iPhone contact info to Windows Contacts.

This is what worked for me. Turned off icloud on iphone and computer. Logged into my icloud account at icloud.com via my web browser and deleted all of my contacts and calendars. I was then able to select selected contacts and selected calendars in iTunes.

Any ideas to transfer iPhone contacts to Z2

Hello everyone,
I am a long time iPhone user and switched to Xperia Z2 recently. As the my old iPhone is pretty much old and I want to use Z2 as my working phone. One of the questions I came across is how to copy all of my contacts(200+) from iPhone to Z2? As they are totally different plaftforms and can't think up a way to get it done.
Would some one give me any suggestion?

You can transfer contact from iPhone to Samsung S6, Sony Xperia, HTC etc. via iCloud. Please sync your iPhone contacts to iCloud firstly and then export it to vCard(VCF file). Please copy the VCF file to Sony Z2 via USB or etc, now you can import the contacts from device storage(VCF file).
Or you can also transfer iPhone contacts to Samsung via third-party tools like this phone to phone data transfer.
That's also one way you can do it. The vCard file can also be added directly to your Google account and when you add the Google account in your phone and sync the contacts, they will appear in your phone:
https://contacts.google.com
Go to More > Import > Mark the vCard (.vcf-file) and you can import them.

My iPhone is merging different contacts with the same firstname into one contact. How can i resolve this.

My Bosses iPhone is merging different contacts with the same firstname into one contact. How can i resolve this? He seems very disturbed and thinks i don't know what i'm doing. I've set up all his devices to sync across and now its messed up on his iPad, and two iPhones.
E.G Contacts with firstname 'Adams' and different numbers are synced into one account.
Now i have no clue how many contacts are this way cos he has a huge number of contacts (he's the ceo).
Please i need a suggestion on how to fix this.
Thanks for the help.

How do I edit the device in iTunes?
Double-click on the name.
My screen shot shows both devices because I sync wirelessly. Right now I can change the iPod name but not the iPad name because the iPod is idle while the iPad is syncing. In another minute or two, I'll be able to change the iPad name.

IPhone contact lost how can I get back

iPhone contact lost how can I get them back without mobile me account

Hi KoAungChaint,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that you have lost a contact from your iPhone and would like to recover it. I know you say you do not have a MobileMe account so I assume you don’t have an iCloud account because MobileMe is no longer in service. If you do have a backup in iTunes on your computer, you could restore your iPhone from that backup and recover any data, including contacts, from that backup. You can use the following article as a reference if you would like to restore from an iTunes backup on your computer.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Restore from a backup
If you have a new iOS device, or if you need to restore your device to resolve an issue, follow these steps:
Connect your iOS device to the computer that has your backup.
Make sure this computer has the latest version of iTunes.
Choose File > Devices > Restore from Back up.
If you're using iTunes 10.7 or earlier, right-click the device from the list and choose Restore from Backup.
Thanks for reaching out,
-Joe

HT5624 My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password. Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts. How can we stop this happening?

My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password. Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts. How can we stop this happening?

A couple of different approached:
Create a second AppleID for one of you that includes the email address and phone number you wish to use for messaging, but do not apply it to the iTunes and app store (just keep the current one). My wife and I do this and it works quite well. Also allows for easier syncing of Contacts , notes etc. using icloud if you wish to do that.
Add additional emails/phone numbers to the existing account and change the Send/Receive settings for Messages. this will not fix the Contcts isues for you however.

After upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS6, my Find My Friends app no longer links to my Contacts and does not show contact names. It only shows e-mail addresses and does not link up to the corresponding email address in my Contacts. How can I fix this?

I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself.

Have a wrong email address which keeps popping up as a suggestion rather than the correct one which is in my contacts. How can I delete this? iPhone doesn't allow me to get to it to delete it like I can in Outlook.

I'm very glad that helped!
It's good you looked in the Manual first. Certainly not everyone does that.
With Apple products, I've found that not everything is completely documented, but sometimes if you try something that seems like it should work, it actually does work.
That's how I personally learned about this feature.
Enjoy your Apple gear!
