Is it possible to retrieve phone numbers from previous iPhones through iTunes ?

iTunes does not backup any contact information.  Contact information is sync'd with your contacts program on your computer.  On a Mac, that would be the Contacts program, which iTunes will sync the content with between your iPhone and the computer.  On a Windows PC, people often use outlook, and their contacts are sync'd with its contacts.
You can also sync contacts with iCloud.
Do you still have the previous iPhones?  If so, just sync them with whatever contacts program you use on your computer, then sync those to the new iPhone.

    how do I get my phone numbers from my IPhone 4 to my new IPhone 4S?

    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer, or over the air with an email account that supports it. Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for contacts which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair by being dropped, etc.
    If you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, you select the same under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.
    If you are syncing contacts over the air with an email account that supports it, create the account with the Mail app on your new iPhone and turn Contacts on for over the air syncing with the account settings on the iPhone.
    Contacts are included with the iPhone's backup. If your iPhone is being backed up with iTunes on your computer, the first time you connect a new iPhone to iTunes on a computer being synced with another iPhone, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone.

  • HT1296 How can I stop and delete facebook names and phone numbers from my iphone

    How can I stop facebook names and phone numbers from being downloaded to my iphone and how can I delete the ones that are already there?

    A better way might be
    Settings > Facebook > Contacts > turn off.
    There are other Facebook settings you might want to leave on. But I also prefer to turn off Calendar there as well to keep every Facebook friends birthday from clogging up my calendar app.

  • Is it possible to block phone numbers from sending texts?

    Is it possible to block a phone number from sending texts?

    Only your carrier can do so, there is no setting on any iPhone to block calls/SMS's. Some carriers offer this service, some don't. So, contact yours to see if they do.

  • What is the best way to get phone numbers from an iPhone 3g to an iPhone 4s?

    I am planning on buying an iPhone 4s but i was just wondering how i would get my contacts on the new phone?  I am on o2 .#
    Thank you!

    That's not a problem.  With a new device, you could connect to iTunes, set it up and restore from the backup of the old device (either including, or not, the contacts).  Then, with the same iCloud account setup on it, you could enable contact syncing and go from there.  In the iCloud settings on the iPhone, you can selective enable/disable the things you want to use iCloud for.  Contact sync via iCloud is a separate on/off setting, so you can use iCloud just for email and contacts, and nothing else if you wished.  Then use iTunes sync for everything else.
    Personally, even if you use iCloud for all its possible features, I'd still suggest backing up in iTunes once in a while too - an iTunes backup is more complete than an iCloud backup.

  • Removing songs from my iPhone through itunes doesn't effect songs on the iphone.

    Tricky to explain:
    With my iphone 4 plugged into my mac via usb, I have been attempting to remove songs and replace them with others. I can add songs no problem, but the songs i remove on itunes remain on my phone. Now when viewing "on this phone" through itunes all the songs appear deleted, and in the summary tab the storage use has changed appropriatley but these changes are not relefected by the phone in the itunes app.
    I have tried restoring my iPhone, it has proved fruitless.
    Can anyone tell me what is causing this?
    Thank You

  • I cannot delete music from my iPhone through iTunes software on my Windows 7 computer. Why is that so?

    Can you please help me out? When I bring up all my songs on my iPhone onto iTunes software, the songs are all greyed out. It does not give me the option to delete them. What do I do?

    Hello kelleywinn_1,
    Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities. Are there additional issues with deleting your music beyond what you have described here? According to this article it is a fairly simple and straight forward process to deleting music with iTunes 11.

  • Transfer Phone numbers from SIM card to phone

    Is it possible to transfer Phone numbers from the SIM card to phone, in the NOKIA 6070?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    "Search for the contact you want to copy, and select Options > Copy. You can copy names and phone numbers
    from the phone contact memory to the SIM card memory, or vice versa. The SIM card memory can save names
    with one phone number attached to them."

  • Is it possible to have two phone numbers ring one iPhone?

    Is it possible to have two numbers ring one iPhone, in other words, a second line on the same phone?
    Thanks.

    You could get a Google voice account and have it forwarded to your iPhone (and other phones). This would effectively give your iPhone the capability of receiving calls to 2 different numbers and making calls from 2 different numbers. Although the Google voice capabilities on iPhone are somewhat awkward.
