No.
The sync process for contacts with a supported address book app on your computer is a true sync process.
There is an option to replace contacts on the iPhone with the contacts in the supported address book app on your computer which is a one time option. After doing so, contacts between the two will be synced. There is no such reverse option.

I set a Special Ring Tone for One of my contacts and now I want to set the standard tone again. How can I adjust the iPhone to always use the standard tone?
Yeah, I did. But if I go to settings and change the standard ring tone again, the ring tone for that special contact is still the old standard tone. But I want to 'tell' my iPhone/iPad that this contact should always have the standard ringtone from settings.

HT4910 how can I import my contacts from my Iphone 5 device to the Icloud?
how can I import my contacts from my Iphone 5 device to the Icloud?
To get the contacts from your Hotmail and exchange accounts into iCloud, do the following:
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup. (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer from your external accounts you will need the “Pro” version.) Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), and set this to iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your Hotmail and exchange accounts and turn off contacts syncing with with these accounts. If you don't you will see duplicates of your contacts (one from the external account and one from iCloud).
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the external accounts back to your phone, and to iCloud. Go to icloud.com to confirm they are there. -

When I purchased my iphone 4S, I had all my old phone's information transfer over to my new phone.
I organized my address book on my mac powerbook and then hoped to sync my computer's address book to my phone - in hopes of erasing all the junky contacts on my iphone and only having the my address book contacts on my phone.
I did all I could trying to make this happen (through iTunes) but it hasn't erased/replaced all of the contacts on my phone - I believe since my phone is synced to icloud. So I'm stuck with a very unorgaized contacts list on my phone...
How can I make it so I only have the contacts from my address book on my phone?
Thanks in advance,
SuzanneAlso, I just noticed that syncing my phone effected my calendar in that all my events now repeat. So instead of having one event schedule on a day, I have two of the same events scheduled for the same time.
It seems as if I can't sync my phone to my computer through iTunes and iCloud.
Help???

Actually I want to restore my iphone from my mac but I can't because it says "go to icloud settings on your iphone and turn off find my iphone before restore your iphone". Then, I go to icloud.com and erase find my iphone. But I still can't restore my iphone because it says pending to erase your iphone until your iphone connected to the internet. My iphone already connected to the internet and it still says pending. Please help me to fix this problem because I need to restore my iphone.
Hello rxander21,
Force your iPhone into recovery-mode and then you can use iTunes to restore it.

What is the BEST way to delete an app on an iPhone 4S so it will NOT be added back when I sync with iTunes?
To completely remove an app and all of its data, do this: First delete the app on your phone, then in iTunes, under Library, click on Apps, right-click the app you want to delete & select delete, when prompted, move all files to trash, empty your trash. Connect your phone and sync. The app and all of its data will be gone.

I bought an app for my iPhone, I changed my PC for a Mac and when I sync it erase my app, I want to downloaded again but it says that I have to pay again what can I do?
How are you trying to re-download it, from within the store or the Purchased link ? You should be able to redownload it for free via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.

I have followed the directions and my iphone is not installing the iOS 7.0.2. I have the most recent version of itunes on my laptop commuter. my iphone is attached to my laptop via usb port. The laptop uses dsl not wifi. Is that my problem?
Exactly what version of iTunes are you running? And DON'T say 'the latest version'... CHECK the version number. You need to be running 11.1 or higher.

Dictation is not working in the reminders app on iPhone 4s IOS6. The microphone is grayed out. How do I re-enable the microphone?
One day I tried to dictate a note and discovered the microphone was grayed out. As someone suggested I did a hard reset of my iPhone 4S and that didn't solve the problem.
Then I had an epiphany. I use the Notes app a lot and have a lot of Notes stored in the app. I tried deleting some of my many notes and "viola!" the microphone is black again. My guess is the app has some kind of storage limit and when you hit that limit, the microphone is automatically turned off. Anyway, that's my theory and I'm sticking to it.
Hope this helps. -

How can I save the settings of my iPhone 4 before resetting the phone in addition to saving the apps etc. by synchronisation with i-tunes
All the phone settings are save in the backup which is automatically created when you sync the phone.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Please clarify what you mean by "resetting" the phone. When you reset the phone, no data is deleted. Do you actually mean Restore the phone? See the User Guide, Appendix B for the correct terminology,
