Sync contacts from 3gs to new 4s

I have just recieved my new iphone 4s and have run a sync with my computer however it hasnt syncd any of my contacts or music just my apps. Is this because I called it my new iphone and not continued it being my old one?? and if so how do I correct this any ideas???

On the left side of iTunes it will show your iPhone under Devices. Right click on it and choose "Restore from backup" and choose a backup. This will get your contacts, calendars, photos from camera roll, and settings onto your new iPhone.

Syncing contacts from Iphone to new pc, NO OUTLOOK , MobileMe?

Ok so I have an Iphone 3GS and my hardrive on my computer crashed losing all my itunes data. I was able to use 3rd party software to retrieve my music and video, and I was able to transfer all my purchases onto my new computer's itunes which runs windows 7.
However, the problem is that I know if I try to sync my contacts it will lose all 275 of my contacts. Also..because of how Office 2010 is, I don't have outlook on this new computer (I have home and student edition of windows). Can i even bring my contacts over if it no longer will be syncing with outlook?
I know MobileMe is a way of retaining contact information, however i haven't installed it or purchased it before my old harddrive crashed. If I purchase MobileMe now, and install it...If I try to sync my phone..will it pull over my contacts from my phone and keep them? Or will it also erase all my contacts and start from scratch.
Please help, I'm open to all suggestions.
Thanks,

You can sync contacts with Outlook, or with the address book application used by Outlook Express with XP and by Windows Mail with Vista and Windows 7 which I believe is called Windows Contacts or Windows address book.
Before syncing contacts with the Windows Contacts application, enter one contact in the application on your computer. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.

Syncing contacts from iPhone to new hard drive

The hard drive on our MacBook Pro died a few weeks ago, so we had it replaced. Now, when trying to sync my iPhone, I get a message that it's already synced to another iTunes library and it'll need to Erase the iPhone and then sync.
This is ok for music and apps that I've transferred already, but I'm afraid of doing this with the Contacts and Notes and losing everything.
If I do a backup, do I do the Erase and Sync and then restore from backup to keep my contacts? If not, what other options do I have? I can't lose my contacts and notes.

Welcome to the discussions,
you're on the right track, perform a manual backup and restore from that backup after your phone got wiped during the first sync.
To back up manually, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes, connect your phone and right click on it in the device list, choose "backup".
Set up at least one contact and event on your Mac to make sure you're getting the merge prompt for contacts and calendars during the process.

I just buy a new iphone 4S, i wanna sync my data from 3GS to new iphone but i forget the password for the 3GS

Connect your 3GS in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process:
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

Unable to sync contacts from iPhone to Address Book...works the other way

I am unable to have changes on my iPhone reflect in my Mac's address book. For example, I would delete a contact on the iphone, but it stays there in the Mac's address book after sync. The worst part is that now on subsequent syncs, the contact is never added back to the phone or deleted from the computer. I am able to create as many contacts as I want on the phone and sync them to the address book, but just not delete modify them.
Creating/deleting contacts in the address book works.
So far, I have tried:
1. Resetting the sync history.
2. Replacing all my iPhone contacts with those in address book.
3. Unselecting and reselecting sync contacts from iTunes.
4. Archiving my address book, deleting everything in it, syncing, and then repopulating it.
5. Restoring my iPhone.
None of this has worked, and I am close to pulling my hair out. I just fixed issues with the new Safari bookmarks sync, and now this. Can anyone please help me fix this issue? Any help would be appreciated.
This is what my console looks like:

PS: Restoring my iPhone messed up the name in iTunes. Any way to get back the name I had earlier?

Thanks for the idea of looking at the Console. I've created new contacts on my MacBook and my iPhone, but neither is syncing to the other, in fact a new contact group I created in Address Book doesn't even show up in the list of groups in the Contacts sync window in iTunes. Here's what the Console says every time I sync:
3/28/08 2:45:54 AM AddressBookSync[315] AddressBookSync (client id: com.apple.AddressBook) error: Exception running AddressBookSync: CoreData could not fulfill a fault for '0x1a02fc0 <x-coredata://2123D5A6-CBBA-4900-B49B-0DDF0F8195A8/ABCDPostalAddress/p68>'

Syncing contacts FROM IPhone MANUAL. PC

So this is basically a continuation of bsohl's thread Syncing Contacts FROM iPhone?.
For those of you that are in a similar situation to this:
1. You're on a PC.
2. Your primary storage space for contacts is your phone.
3. Your email client isn't compatable with ITunes.
4. You want to back up your contacts.
Follow these few steps to make your backup happen:
1. Sign up for a new yahoo email address.
2. In the info tab in ITunes select Sync Contacts with Yahoo Address Book.
3. At the prompt enter in your new yahoo email address and password.
4. Hit 'apply'. At this point you may have to hit sync or it might just do it automatically. I can't remember.
Here comes the magic
5. You will see the following prompt: http://a425.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/89/l_dfc21c0b2fd5015780fbaad7fddb3 798.gif
6. Select 'merge'.
7. Wait a few seconds.
8. Check your contacts in your yahoo email account and they should all be there.
9. Sweet!
10. Good luck.

You can also sync your contacts to Microsoft Address Book. Go to the info pane with your phone connected to change the settings.
Your iphone backup also contains your contact info. So before you sync, back up your phone manually, here's how to:
Disable autosync in iTunes/settings/devices, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
Do the same to transfer your purchases by choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

Sync contacts from outlook 2007 to gmail problem

Hello everybody! I have an issue when I use the sync zone in order to sync contacts from outlook 2007 to gmail with pc companion 2.10.065
The problem is that some certain fields (like "work 2" number) do not sync at all.
Other fields (like the "webpage" field) sync on some contacts and do not sync on some other contacts.
Is there a workaround on that?

I have just tested this and it seems just as you say that any second number of the same category won't be synced. I think this is a limitation at Google not matching/supporting the exact same PIM filed's.
However I could not replicate the problem with the web page field.

Syncing contacts from iTunes to iPhone 4s -got all my girlfriends contacts

Syncing contacts from iTunes to iPhone 4s
I upgraded my iPhone 4s to the latest os yesterday. My girlfriend and I use the same installation of iTunes, and for some reason I got all of her contacts copied to my phone. During the installation of the new os, I was told there was a conflict with the contacts and I was prompted to choose between to different sets of contacts both bearing my name but my girlfriends picture (!). I tried to skip this stage and moved on with the installation, and when I was done our contacts were all mixed up. When I later installed the new os on her iPhone (3), she got all of my contacts!
Is there a way to show iTunes what to put in which phone?

Hello Hylan,
There are a few possibilities.
First, make sure both iTunes and the iPhone are up-to-date.
Make sure the "Sync Address Book Contacts" box is actually checked in the Info tab for the iPhone.
You can try resetting the Sync history on the Mac:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
It could be an issue with the Contact database on the iPhone.
If your contacts data on the Mac is current (no contacts on the iPhone that are not in Address Book). you can replace the Contact data on the iPhone with a fresh copy from the Mac.
At the bottom of the Info tab for your iPhone, you'll find a checkbox for Contacts under Advanced -- this will replace the contact data on the iPhone when you sync. It is a one time checkbox and will be unchecked automatically after the sync.

How do you transfer contacts from iphone to new ipad?

how do you transfer contacts from iphone to new ipad?

"Paired"? I think you are saying you were trying to use Bluetooth to do this transfer. That will not work.
Instead, try one of these two methods:
1. Use iCloud to contain the contacts. Then set both the iPad and iPhone up to reference the iCloud contacts.
2. Sync the iPhone using iTunes on your computer. Then sync the iPad using the same iTunes.
(This may or may not work depending on what you use to house the contacts.)

TS3988 My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

If you can see the iCloud contacts in Outlook, you can copy them back to your PC by selecting all the contacts (click one, then press Control-A), then drag and drop the selected contacts to Contacts under My Contacts on the left sidebar of Outlook.
If you want to copy your calendar back to Outlook, select your iCloud calendar on the left sidebar of Outlook, switch to the list view (select View from the ribbon, then click Change View>List), select your events (click on a single event, then press Control-A), then control drag and drop them to Calendar under My Calendars on the left sidebar.
Then you can sign out of iCloud on the iCloud control panel and your local copies will still be there. If you want to add your iCloud email account back to iCloud, you can do this with these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.

Is there any way to sync Outlook for Mac with iPhone? I have tried everything but not successful. Apple says it is not possible to sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5. Any help will be much appreciated.

Is there any way to Sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5? Apple support says that only iTune can only sync contacts from "Contact" which is the default contact of Mac. If one is running Outllok on a Mac machine then it is not possible to sync the contacts with iPhone. It is strange that Apple distributors are promoting and offering machines with promise that Windows users can now run MS Office on Mac machines without any problem. While this is true, it is so strange that one cannot sync the contacts from MacBook Pro to iPhone5. If someone has found a way to sync contacts from Outlook to iPhone 5 please help as it is very frustrating to not be able to sync the contacts. Thanks, Amit.

How Can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail?

How can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail? In other words, I want to keep all of my iPhone contact information intact and make AOL "mirror" it (and not wipe it out when I sync thru iTunes).

The iPhone supports syncing contacts with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with Windows Contacts with Windows, and with the Address Book or with the Entourage address book on a Mac.
If you aren't currently using one of the supported applications on your computer for contact info - the supported address book application on your computer is empty, before syncing contacts enter one contact in the supported application on your computer. Make this contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data with the supported application on your computer, which you want to select.
After this, you can export the contacts from the supported application on your computer that is supported for import by your AOL online address book - if AOL includes such an option.

Thanks,

Click on your iDevice on the sidebar of iTunes and then go to the info tab at the top. check the box shown here:
This will put the contacts from an iDevice to the computer. You can then check the same box on the (let's say iPad) that doens't have any contacts and they will go from your comp to your iPad.
