Need Help Transferring/Syncing Contacts TO PC

I feel like I have searched everywhere for a solution but haven't found one. I am ultimately trying to export my contacts on my iphone 4 to an excel format. If I can do this directly, excellent. If it's a 2-step process, fine.
I did see that I can sync my contacts from my phone to my Windows Address Book (WAB). I tried that using iTunes (Info, Sync Contacts with "Windows Contacts" and apply), but when I went to my contacts folder in windows, the only contact I saw was a contact file for the username on my computer. Every other topic I've read says that this should work, but obviously in my case it's not.
I do not have outlook or manage my phone contacts in any other application, just my phone.
Am I doing something wrong, can anyone help me out? Thank you in advance.
Here's my specs:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
iTunes version 10.5.1.42
iPhone 4
iOS 5.0.1 (9A405)

Itunes is on but does not have anything refering to "equipment" as for back up the phone syncs everytime its conected to my laptop

New to iPhone and need help with syncing contacts.

I know how to change the settings in the iTunes view so that I can set it to sync, but when I started the transfer of my iPhone contacts it tells me that 25% of my contacts will change. What does this mean? Does this mean that the contacts on my iPhone will change, or the contacts in my Address Book on my MBP will change?
I'm a bit confused by this. I don't want to lose my address book info (mostly e-mail contacts) and I don't want to contaminate my iPhone contacts with the data in my Address Book.
Thanks for any help.

One alternative would be to set up iCloud and then sync your contacts there. This would keep them on www.iCloud.com (see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ to set this up). Another would be to sync them with Google by setting up a gmail account as and exchange account, which enables contact and calendar syncing. To do this see http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&topic=14252&answer=138740.

Either backup the contacts in iCloud or with a compatible programme on your computer (Outlook, Windows Contacts, Address Book etc).
Once done, sync the contacts to your new iPhone from that programme/iCloud.
Read "Contacts"

I need help transferring Bootcamp (Windows XP) from my old Macbook Pro to the new one. How do I make bootable clone of Bootcamp?

Hi I just got a new MacBook Pro I need help transferring Bootcamp (Windows XP) from my old Macbook Pro to my new Macbook Pro Mac OS X 10.7.4 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 17. How do I make bootable clone of Bootcamp?

you can't just move XP even if you took the hard drive and have Windows boot and function.
Apparently there are Windows tools to sanitize the OS and strip all the motherboard drivers and services.
Time to get a supported OS. Don't want to pay, then use 8 for the time until it goes on sale.
There are no drivers for even Vista on 2011 and later Macs.

New mac user needs help transfering files from Dell...

I have a Dell running Windows XP and need help transfering the files from the dell to the mac.
Also I have no idea what OP system I have, how do you tell which one you have???

Go to the blue Apple menu and scroll down to "About this Mac"
In the summary window that opens you will find the following information:
Mac OS X version (assuming you are running OS X)
Processor speed.
Memory
Startup disk
The More Info button will take you to an in-depth overview of hardware, network set-up and installed software.
As far as transference is concerned, you can either transfer files via CD, DVD, external hard drive... or by networking the two computers.
Here's a link for an overview concerning Mac to PC connectivity:

I hope the above helps.

Need help in tranfering contacts

You should see a dialog box prompting you to choose Merge or Replace. You need to choose Merge to preserve your contacts.

Getting new iMac, need help transferring iPhone,

Okay, I've been using my iPhone with my main PC since I've had it. A few months ago, I started having problems with it (my PC), and it became very unstable. I haven't synced my iPhone in 3-4 months. Mainly because it was so unstable...most of the time, it wouldn't even boot into Windows. In the meantime, I've just been using my PowerBook, and Aspire One for all my computer needs.
So I ordered one of the new iMac 24's last week to replace my PC, and it will be here tomorrow. Today, I've been backing up my PC, with an external HDD, in Safe Mode. Since that's the only way I can get into Windows now. I've copied over all the folders I used for my iPhone...like for photos, custom ringtones, etc. And copied over the iTunes folder. But unfortunately, I cannot sync the iPhone in Safe Mode. So all the stuff in the iTunes folder is at least 3-4 months old. And I've bought music and apps from iTunes on the phone since then, as well as added contacts, taken pics, etc.
My question is, when I sync up the iPhone on my new iMac...will I lose everything that's been added to the iPhone since the last time I did a sync? Is there anyway to get it transferred? Or at least get my purchased music/apps from the iPhone to iTunes on the new machine? I can email the pics I've taken, and copy down the added contacts if need be...my main concern is the music/apps I've purchased on the iPhone.
Thanks for any help you can provide...and hopefully I didn't make that too confusing.

iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content from an iPod or iPhone that was purchased from the iTunes store, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize your new Mac with your iTunes account with iTunes.
After doing so, with your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
Before syncing contact info with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal on your new Mac, enter one contact in the Address Book and one calendar event in iCal on your new Mac. Make these up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt when syncing contact info and calendar events with the Address Book and iCal on your new Mac, which you want to select.
Photos captured by your iPhone are not included with the iTunes sync process, except for being included with your iPhone's backup, which is the first step during the sync process. If you will be using iPhoto for storing photos on your new Mac, you can use iPhoto for importing these photos from your iPhone. Any photos transferred to your iPhone from your PC via the iTunes sync process must be transferred from your PC to your new Mac into iPhoto.
If all 3rd party apps available on your iPhone are not transferred to your iTunes library on your new Mac, you can re-download the apps with iTunes on your new Mac. You will not be charged again for any purchased apps as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the apps that was used to purchase the apps originally.

I need help in sync music from the ipod store that I have purchased to my ipod.

I need help syncing my music onto my ipod. Anyone there to help?

There is a few events where I could see this happening...
It's possible if you computer is not authorized with your iTunes Store account it may not have transfered your purchases from the iPad to the computer. To check, Open iTunes> Select the "Store" menu along top of the program and select Authorize this computer. Sign in with your AppleID and password, this will make sure your computer is authorized for the future so you can transfer purchases from your device.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
However, if your Movies are missing now you'll need to request to redownload or "regrant" them. Please send an email ticket into iTunes Store via...
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
Select "Video Purchases" in the grey boxes, then "Lost or Missing Items", then click the link to "Email Us" on the right. Fill out that form and the folks at the iTunes Store should get back to you less than 24 hours.

Need help with syncing, PLEASE

Need to sync 2 iphones (one a 4g other a 3g) each one to a separate computer (wife's desktop with win 7, I have a laptop win vista) and I have only one itune account. I would like to be able to sync all apps to each phone, BUT I only want to sync her contact/address book to hers and only my contacts /address book to my phone.
Is it POSSIBLE?
Any suggestion and help will be appreciated...
Don

Since all 3rd party apps are available in the iTunes library on your computer and you are sharing the same iTunes account, she can sync iTunes content only with iTunes on your computer - music, movies, tv shows, and 3rd party apps without syncing contacts with a supported address book application on your computer. She won't have sync contacts selected under the Info tab for her iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your computer. She can sync contacts only with a supported address book application on her computer. She won't have Sync Music, Sync Movies, Sync TV Shows, and Sync Apps under these tabs for her iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on her computer.

Help with syncing contacts

Hope someone can help, I'm trying to sync contacts from my iPhone to Outlook (2010). Phone settings seem OK, in itiunes I've reset history & it shows "Your contacts are being synced with your iPhone over the air from iCloud"
Yet none of the contacts update in Outlook
What am I doing wrong???

If you choose to sync with iCloud then I don't believe you can also sync to Outlook. You'll need to choose one or the other.

10.9.5 update issues -- need help with sync to LG phone

1. Can't sync contacts from imac to Gmail. End goal is to sync contacts to LG phone
2. Notes missing after update
3. Not all calendar entries show up on LG phone

While 2 GB is the absolute minimum to install Mavericks, if you want to do anything with the Mac you need more then that. Upgrade your RAM.
Until you upgrade the RAM seriously consider shutting down the Mac nightly. You should also seriously review the items in the User Login Items to see if there are any there that you really don't need to have startup with your login to reduce the amount of RAM you are using.

Accident email account delete- need help restore all contacts

Help, this morning I accidentially deleted my email account in yahoo, and now ALL my contacts are gone....how do I restore the contacts. I don't have mobile me set up yet.

Were you provided an option to transfer the backup from your Touch to your iPhone that you accepted?
Which supported application on your computer are you syncing contact info with?
With Vista, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with the address book used by Windows Mail with Vista - which is the name change for Outlook Express with Vista. The address book is called Windows Contacts I believe and the sync option for contact info is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences.
