Sync iPhone contacts to a brand new PC

Hello guys,
i have typed all my contacts in my iphone (was hard work!). Now i want to make a backup copy and store them on my computer (windows vista). I have outlook 2007 installed. When i launch itunes and sync my iphone, what happens now? I read somewhere that my contacts on the iphone are deleted. Is this true?
Thank you for your answers!

First make sure you create a few contacts in Outlook before you sync
Then when you start the sync process you will be asked if you want to merge or replace the info on the iPhone , obvious make sure you select MERGE

Transfer iPhone contacts & calendars to brand new outlook 2007

Someone gave me an iPhone 3GS as a gift, I pressed the reset button and used outlook 2007 & itunes to sync my contacts & calendars.
Everything on my iPhone is fine.
My contacts & calendars in Outlook 2007 were accidentally in wrong orders by importing a backup file in pst format(Outlook Format).
For future synchronization ,I am afraid that my iPhone contacts & calendars will be in wrong orders due to the changes in Outlook 2007.
Can I transfer my iPhone contacts & calendars to a brand new outlook 2007 (without any data & resetting my outlook 2007)?
If not,any other solutions?
The main reason of this discussion is to make my Outlook contacts & calendars in correct orders and my iPhone contacts & calendars will not be affected.
Hopefully I have a backup .pst file with correct data on my harddisk.
Hope you guys can help.
Thank you so much!

The Synchronization dons’ not affect the order of how information’s are displayed between outlook and iPhone IOS. It only affects the content of your contacts and calendars information’s.
However, if you want to synchronize to a brand new outlook (this mean new Mail profile), you should create a new mail profile to use with outlook. Always make a backup of your iPhone and outlook before you modify any settings.
To create a new profile, go to Mail setting in the Control Panel or Execute control mlcfg32.cpl from C:\Programs Files\Microsoft Office\OfficeXX from the Command Prompt to access Mail directly.
From here you can display the main profile which iTunes using to synchronize your information’s (Show Profiles… Button). This one called generally outlook, it is created automatically as you execute your outlook for the first time.
Then you have to create a new one using ADD button, as you finish choose Always use this profile then drop down the menu to select the new created profile. Apply the new setting and restart your outlook.
Now you suppose to have the new profile of outlook, this let you synchronize your information with nonfactual content.
You can go back to the old profile by choosing it as the default one from Mail setting. Be careful not to synchronize with iTunes when the default profile is set to the old one.
Remark: in the Mail setting “mlcfg32.cpl “ if you choose the following option (Prompt for a profile to be used) then every time when you open outlook it will prompt you to select the profile that you need to work within, the problem that when iTunes want to synchronize your content it can’t select arbitrary on of theses profiles and this will dysfunction, so it is preferred that you select (Always use this profile) option.

HT1296 i cannot sync iphone contacts to my macbook

How do I sync iphone contacts to my macbook? i have tried the obvious: connecting the phone, going into iTunes and selecting Info and Contacts and sync and apply, but nothing happens on my Mac. Thank you for any feedback.

Make sure you enter at least one unique contact (one that is not on your phone - make up an imaginary friend if necessary) in the Address Book on your Macbook before you sync, and choose the "merge" option when you sync. The contacts on your phone will sync to address book on your Macbook, and your imaginary friend will sync to your phone. You can delete him if you want.

I manage all of my email in Outlook, delete email and trash it however the update isn't reflected in the Cloud and\or Apple email. I have to then open up Apple mail and delete again.
Then something is setup incorrectly, which version of OSX are you on, and is this an iCloud mail address (@mac, @me or @icloud)
From your description of the issue I suspect that it is Outlook that is incorrectly setup.

How do I sync contacts from one iPhone's backup to brand new iPhone?

Hi all,
I recently just lost my iPhone 3G, it was stolen and I could not get it back. The only "copy" of my iPhone 3G and it's contacts are in the backup file found in my iTunes.
fyi, My iPhone was formatted to sync with my iTunes on Mac.
The question is: if I were to purchase a brand new iPhone, can the contacts from the backup file in iTunes be sync to the new iPhone? If it is possible, how do I do that?
Please help!

When you get your new phone & connect it to itunes, you will be given the option of restoring from backup or setting up as new. Select restore from backup. This must be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content. Make sure you have at least ONE entry for contacts & calendars in whatever supported application you use for that purpose on your computer. These entries can be fake, that doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs NOT BE EMPTY. When you do sync after restoring from backup, you'll get a merge or replace prompt regarding your contacts & calendar, select merge.

I had ios 4.3.3 on the old one i am downloading the ios 5 in my new iphone

You should ahve been syncing the contacts with your computer all along. Just sync them to the new one.
Everything should be on your computer as you should have been syncing.
If you failed to sync everything with your computer, then you can try restoring from the last backup.

TS1627 Cannot sync iphone contacts to address book.

My iphone 4 contacts are not syncing with my address book. I have followed the instructios about checking the sync box on the info pane. I am not syncing my contacts to icloud. Last time i did that, it wiped out all my contacts. Any suggestions?

Is your Address Book on your Mac empty? Try the following, add a new test contact on your iPhone. Next try to sync again. If nothing happens, make sure you have set up the Default Contact Sync account on your iPhone to point to Address Book.
To do so, go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars and under "Contacts" look at what you have set up as "Default"

Syncing iphone to itunes on a new computer

My laptop was stolen and I have a new one - which of course is not allowing me to sync my music library to.from my iphone
Is there any way deauthorize the previous computer that the phone is synced to.? I know how to deauthorize the computer and authorize a new computer for purchased items. But I need to figure out how to get my iphone to transfer to this new computer

The iPhone and iTunes are designed to sync music only one way, from the computer to the iPhone. If you are trying to copy music from the iPhone to the computer, it won't. If you have authorized the computer in iTunes with your Apple ID, you can transfer any purchases made with iTunes to the new computer. If you have a backup of your iTunes music library, you can copy that to the new computer.
You have found that if you connect the iPhone to the computer an attempt to sync, it is warning you that you will lose all data currently on the phone and replace it with what is on the computer. If you backup the phone before trying to sync, it will help, but you would not be able to sync data that is not contained in the backup. You will need to sync your calendar/contacts to a supported application on the computer before attempting to sync the phone. You can get those to move over from the phone if you put in a unique calendar appointment and contact that does not exist on the phone. It will then generate a "merge" prompt to merge the contacts on the computer and iPhone to merge. Otherwise, the new computer becomes the one you sync with once you sync it the first time.

Cannot sync iphone contacts

When switching contact sync to Yahoo or Google from iCloud, did not see any sync done.
When switching contact to a new Outlook account with no contact for testing, can see 88 email addresses sync into Outlook, all without any phone numbers. What went wrong??? How do I get the contacts in iphone out into Outlook, Yahoo or Google so that I can sync those contacts into other phones???

Switching the default account is only helpful for new contact, and does nothing to sync existing contact located in the iCloud group.
Anyway, I have found a solution by using iDrive: http://www.idrive.com/online-backup-download.htm
Thanks for responsing.

Sync iphone contacts with ipad

I just purchased a new iPad Mini and cant seem to sync up my iPhone contacts to appear on my iPad.. any help here would be appreciated.
thanks,

You first need to make sure you sync all of your iPhone contacts to the iCloud (not back up to the iCloud but sync). To do, on your iPhone, go to Settings > iCloud > and turn the Contacts switch to ON. Next, tap on "Merge".
Do the same action on your iPad too. Make sure you use the same iCloud account credentials on both devices.
Both your iPhone and iPad contacts should now be synced

Sync iPhone Contacts Group to Outlook

I have a iPhone that was sync with other mailing system. Now I want sync those contact to my companys outlook and it's sync succssfully. But I find that was miss the contact groups information and cannot edit it in the outlook. It's strange that the iTurn can display the contact group information but it's cannot be found in the outlook.
What is the problem?
Thanks!

i have a new iphone as of last week -- had all my contacts in outlook 2007 in one group and synced them. then i figured out I could create groups in folders-- which would make searching easier on the iphone. i did that and they show up in itunes and sync perfectly.
fyi -- (i couldn't get "contact groups" to work -- i had to create new folders in outlook contacts instead of groups. that may help the problems listed in this thread.)
now, i'm trying to figure out how to "delete" the initial contacts (that are all of my contacts in one group) from the iphone and leave them on outlook.
i'm working with outlook 2007 and a pc. the initial sync in essence duplicates all of my contacts and is unnecessarily taking up space on the iphone.
any ideas?

Syncing iphone contacts to iMac

Have set the iPhone 4 up so contacts snyc in icloud. Have tried several times to syn in iTunes and do not know what I'm doing wrong. In itunes it shows doing the sync, however when I look up a new contact I put on my phone it does not show on Mac.
I've gone through the Apple Sync article to sync contacts several times and just can't figure what I'm doing wrong.
I did notice my husband's phone contacts are on the Mac.

Simpy turned iCloud back on phone for contacts.
Please help me with more on this whole syncing of contacts, setting different groups, duplications, etc. My I've read several articles in this support community and am seeing there is much more to it than I realized.
What I would like to do is have the contacts on my husbands phone and mine seperated on mac in some way. I would also like to have the ones on my phone in some kind of catagories. I would like to only sync what I need to each time.
What is the difference between doing that by iCloud or iTunes?

Cannot sync iphone contacts to itunes to sync with address book

need to import iPhone contacts into new mac.trying to use iTunes, but it is not syncing. Tried mobile me, no luck. Help

What is the problem?
Why not move everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one?
If you sync your iphone to a blank computer, then the contacts will be erased.
