I just lost my iphone4 but can't sync my contacts into my current iphone 3g.

I have connected the iphone4 before into iTunes, and is it right to say that once I connect my iphone into iTunes, it will sync and backup all information (including contacts) into the laptop?
When i connect the iphone3g that i have now into iTunes, contacts can't be retrieved back at all. The previous contacts that I have are not in Outlook either, as I did not setup Outlook at that point of time.
Another thing is that the iphone4 that I had lost was of a version 4.3.3, the current iphone 3Gs i have is of version 5. Is that a problem as well?
Do help! Thanks!

Not right unless you have automatically sync when your iPhone is connected to iTunes and if not, you must manually select Sync. The iPhone's backup is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process, but you must manually select sync contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, which is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. If this is selected, contacts should be synced with the supported address book application on your computer when your iPhone is synced with iTunes.
When i connect the iphone3g that i have now into iTunes, contacts can't be retrieved back at all. The previous contacts that I have are not in Outlook either, as I did not setup Outlook at that point of time.
They will be retrieved one of two ways. By restoring your iPhone 3G with iTunes from the backup for your iPhone 4, or by syncing contacts with a supported address book application on your computer which apparently you have not been doing.

    Sync your iPad with computer iTunes.
    Note: your contacts should be in computer Outlook (Windows) or Contacts (Mac) application.
    If you have iCloud configured in iPhone, do the same for iPad.

  • Backup for Iphone4G and restore from backup to Iphone4S,but can not sync the applications? What's going on ??

    I backup my iphone4g in Itunes and then restore from backup to Iphone4S, the contact numbers, messages and pictures all can sync..but the applications can not sync? What's going on ?? Anyone knows?? Is the problem about the Itunes? Cos I am using Itunes 10.5...

    I've tried both. First, I tried on my pc, where iTunes had installed iCloud when it last updated. I have iTunes installed on this computer (and on my iPad and iPhone), but that wasn't the issue.
    So I went online, thinking I needed a separate iCloud Apple ID, but it prompted me for my current Apple ID and gave me the message about my ID being "valid" but not an iCloud account," which, lol, was what it had asked me to do in order to create one. I checked, and at least one other user is having the same issue. I'll attempt to copy/paste the Support request url: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4430653?tstart=0
    Thank you for any help you can give.

  • Can't sync new contacts from Mac to iPhone with 2.0.2

    Hi
    I updated my iPhone software to 2.0.2. After that, I added some new contacts to my Mac. They are not sync'ed to my iPhone. The 'old' contacts are though: I erased my contacts from my iPhone and re-synced, and all the contacts that were there before I updated the software came back to my iPhone.
    Note that it works from the iPhone to the Mac: I added a new contact to my iPhone, after the system update, and found them in my Mac rapidly after.
    How bizarre is that??
    Of course, I checked, and my contacts are checked on in the MobileMe page of the iPhone.
    Any idea/help?
    Thanks
    Laurent

    @ Laurent P.
    Some things to try.
    Reset Sync History. To do this on a Mac, open iSync in your Applications folder. Once open, click the iSync menu and choose Preferences. Small window opens with a Reset Sync History button. Does not delete any data, just don't expect your next sync to be super quick.
    Also, under the Info tab in iTunes, choose the Advanced option of replacing everything on the iPhone with what is on the computer. If it works, be sure to uncheck that setting. I think it is a one time check only thing, but be sure.
    Wait...
    I just noticed you said MobileMe...if you use MobileMe to sync your stuff, flip Contacts Off then back On. If that doesn't work, delete the MobileMe account on the iPhone and re-add it.
    Otherwise, try a hard reset (both buttons for about 10 sec. ignore slide to power off), and reset network settings.
    Also, does the Mac contacts show up in MobileMe? If they don't, go to System Preferences > MobileMe > Sync tab and check your settings. Perform a sync too. Under the Advanced button you can Reset Sync Data and choose to replace MobileMe stuff with stuff on your computer or vice versa.

  • Can't sync new contacts from Outlook to iphone 6.  Turned off all add-ns and still will not update.

    Did the suggestion on the Apple site for contacts.  When I do the sync I can see the new contact in my contact list then it goes away when the sync finishes.

  • How can i sync my contacts from galaxys to iphone 4s?, how can i sync my contacts from galaxys to iphone 4s?

    I jest bought a new Iphone, but I can not bleu tooth my contacts from galaxys, pls help!

    The iPhone does NOT support bluetooth file transfer.  You need to get your Galaxy contacts onto your computer in Address Book or Outlook, then synch your phone to that program.

    As a businessman, my Contacts are my life, as well as containing a lot of personal information. I usually keep my phone
    up-to-date, only taking my pad on trips, but it's essential that I have both the same.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Sync your iPad with computer iTunes.

    please help. just got my jabra halo, worked fine with my iphone4 but can't use it on my macbook pro. it always prompts " the devise does not have the necessary service

    Found these instructions here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15388885#15388885
    I found an answer that worked for me. I am using an iMac.
    (1) Sign out of the iTunes store
    (2) Open a NEW account with a new Apple ID
    (3) Go through the sign up process and then go to the ACCOUNT INFORMATION page
    (4) Go to RECOMENDATIONS & PING POSTING
    (5) Turn on Genius there
    Once the Genius updates, you can sign out and then sign in under your original Apple ID or the e-mail address you use for the iTunes store. All my store credit was there and now Genius worked.
    Rather odd but I actually like the Genius at times except when it can't deal with some of my lesser known bands that I listen to.
    Worked for me.

  • I have just bought a MacBook but can't seem to sync my Contacts or Calendar from my iPhone 3GS to my iTunes, I have tried everything, even the icloud doesn't seem to do it.

    I have just bought a MacBook but can't seem to sync my Contacts or Calendar to the Address Book or iCal via iTunes, I have tried everything including watching support videos and putting this into a search engine. Even icloud doesn't seem to be doing it.

    If you are trying to sync via iCloud, make sure your MacBook is running OSX Lion 10.7.7, and that you have set up your iPhone as described here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ and you MacBook as described here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.htm (including turning On Contacts and Calendars as shown in step 3).  If you're syncing via iCloud don't check to sync in iTunes too (on the Info tab in iTunes) or you may end up with duplicate data.

    just upgraded to ios 8.1.3 but can't get my contacts or calendar to sync with my iPhone 5S - any help would be appreciated

    I found  a solution that worked for me:
    What I did:
    1. Uninstalled iTunes, but didnt need to remove other related software components
    2. Downloaded and installed iTunes from here (as you suggested): iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    3. I didnt have to reset Sync History or change anything and it works!
    Hope it can help you too.
