ITunes 10.1 now updated, trying to update contacts on iphone 3

Hi, I have a friend who has a Powerbook G4 12" and an iphone 3. There are no contacts on the Powerbook, but all the contacts on the iphone.
The iphone is currently synced to a PC and they want the contacts on the phone to be transferred to the Powerbook.
How do I transfer all the contacts on the phone onto the powerbook, without deleting them from the phone? (ie how do I back them up/ensure they are not erased accidentally)
Many thanks,
Ian

Updated to newest version of itunes and now it tries to update library and it stops responding and won't let me cancel the little update bar that appears. I just want to know how to get it to the point where I can play music again.

This is happening to me too, very frustrating

You cannot return to previous state. The update re-locked the iPhone
to the original carrier. You must contact the original carrier to see if
they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
Be advised that if your iPhone had previously been hacked/modified/
jailbroken to work with other than original carrier, it may be impossible
for the original carrier to unlock it properly.

If that doesn't work, try putting your phone to DFU mode.

I was told I can set up my phone service through iTunes, but I can't seem to figure out where to go at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

what do you mean, it died? plug it into the power! :-)

ITunes had an error while trying to update my iPhone 6+ and now the phone is bricked (and iTunes is not detecting it)

So I tried Installing iOS 8.3 onto my iPhone 6+, updated iTunes to the latest version, 12.1.2, downloaded the update for the phone, connected my phone - it detected fine like it always does. When I tried installing, it went to about halfway or so and then iTunes said there was a problem updating the phone.
The phone icon disappeared from iTunes and when I checked the phone it was giving the blank screen. I tried turning it off and on again... It showed the apple logo, and then the connect to itunes icon, but iTunes is not detecting it.
Even if I take it out and put it back in again, even with the hard reset holding the home and power buttons. I'm running Windows 8.1. So far I've tried the hard reset, cleaning the connector pins, switching to a a different USB port, reinstalling iTunes, checking to see if the Apple Mobile Device software is up to date, even using a previous restore point in windows.
The device makes a noise when it gets plugged in, indicating that it's being detected by the computer, but iTunes... nothing. And my phone is stuck on showing the connect to iTunes picture and it's bricked and unusable and I'm wondering why I even bothered with this stupid update.

Most of the recent updates showed the connect to iTunes screen for a short time. But if the update was done with the iOS device connected to the computer running iTunes, the Connect to iTunes screen appeared only briefly then the update completed. If your iPhone didn't complete the update you will have to put the iPhone into Recovery Mode. Follow the steps very carefully in the link below. You might have to try several times to get your phone into Recovery Mode.

ITunes won't open after trying to update

I updated my iPhone 5C to IOS8 yesterday, and when I plugged it into my computer it said I needed to update my iTunes. When I tried to update it, it wouldn't work and told me to do it manually. It then came up with the screen that searches for updates, and I pressed cancel so that I could press the tools button. When I pressed tools, I could not click on the top option that I was supposed to select. I closed the tab and now iTunes won't open.

HT4623 I having difficulty in updating my iphone 3GS software from version 4.1 to version 5.1. I cannot update through my iphone & through itunes. Each time I tried a message appeared saying iphone software server cannot be contacted. Please, help

I am having difficulty in updating my iphone 3GS software from version 4.1 to version 5.1. I tried using my phone but cannot find the update software button even when I have gone through the right process by tapping SETTING, then GENERAL, yet could not find Update Software button. I mean the update Software button is not seen there.
I tried using itunes, yet no way. Each time I connect my iphone to my laptop itunes software comes up automatically and alerts me that a newer version of software for my iphone is available, It usually gives me the option of Download & Install or Download Only. Whichever of the option I click a message will always appear telling me that the iphone update server could not be contacted, then asking me to make sure that my network settings are correct and active or try again latter. Sometimes, when click on the Update button on my itune software. It will display an error has occured.
I have even tried to Restore iphone from itunes, yet the problem keep repeating itself.
Can anyone help me?

Dear Tim,
I saw your message. Below are the problems:
Whenever I connect my iphone 3GS to my PC through a USB. My itunes software comes up automatically.
1. After that a message appears from the itunes that states that 'itunes could not connect to the itunes store, an unknown error cccured (306).
2. After the above, an alert message comes up which states that A new iphone software version 5.1 is availlable for my iphone. It then states would you like to download it and update your iphone now? With the options buttons as Cancel or Download and Update or Download Only. Whenever I clicked on Download and Update or Download Only, the next message that comes up is that The iphone Software Update Server Could not be Contacted and suggest make sure your network setting are correct and active or try again later.
The above is the challenges I am facing now.

Itunes won't open after trying to update iphone4 to ios 5

Wrong iTunes email comes up when trying to update apps on iPad

I'm trying to update my apps on my iPad. When the box pops up to enter your iTunes password, the wrong email is showing. How do I change the email in the pop up box? Thanks in advance for your help!

OK. You can try here as well.
Go to the app store. Tap on the featured tab. Swipe to the bottom of the screen. You can access your Apple ID in the bottom left corner. If it is showing the wrong ID - tap it and sign out then sign in with the correct ID.
Did you try updating the apps with the old ID that is showing? iTunes knows which apps belong to which ID. So if that ID is popping up when you try to update the apps, I would have to assume that the ID was used to purchase those apps.
If they are free apps - just download them again.

ITunes 9.2.1 (4) tries to update a "ghost" application, show inconsistencie

Hi to all,
I recently needed to reinstall the computer from a Time Machine backup, and encountered four issues:
1- iTunes seems to be unable to find my library, and my library doesn't appear; no music track, no podcast, no nothing. However, strange it still shows the previous iPod Touch saves I made.
2- iTunes is unable to remember my Apple Store password. There's no tickbox to remember it??
3- iTunes keeps on trying to update a non-existent application. I verified, and this application has completely disappeared from the computer, but iTunes still tries to update it, and it always ends up with error 8012. I looked for this error on the Web, but seems to be unknown under Mac
4- Maybe linked to the second issue, iTunes is the only application that asks, each time it's launched, to be allowed incoming connections, although "allow" incoming connections is already set in the firewall.
I don't know exactly where to start to solve these behavioral inconsistencies.

A year and a half later, manually upgraded all the way to iTunes 10.5.3, since Software update is unable to update iTunes properly. In the meantime, both of my iPods (Touch and Shuffle) were stolen.
Issues 1 and 4 have disappeared, but 2 and 3 remain.
Still no answer. I can't believe nobody had this issue.

My iPad won't backup. It's been synced to two different iTunes accounts. I'm trying to update to newest iOS.

I'm trying to update my iPad to newest iOS when I try to back it up it just sits there. Even overnight it does progress. The iPad has been synced to two different iTunes accounts and I have a new PC. THAT I'm using to sync it on.
Why will it not update?

Adobe updater tries to update to an old version

Hi,
the adobe updater requests a update to Photoshop CS5 to 12.0.4 but ist is allready at level 12.0.5. Same with Ilustrator ist on 15.0.3 and the request is to level 15.0.2. How can I supress this request
Thanks in advance
best regards
Roland

Not that much you can do about it - it's a bug that Adobe rolled out the 12.0.5 security update as a "secret" patch that its own updater isn't even aware of.
Since there are very likely going to be no more updates ever tor Photoshop CS5 you could just disable the updater process through its options settings so it will stop asking. Seems pretty stupid on Adobe's part to force you to have to do so.
