Transfering contacts from iphone back up to ipod touch. Can it be done

I am thinking about getting a ipod touch cause my iphone 1st gen got wet, but it was backed up. If I buy an ipod touch can I transfer my back-up contact info to an ipod touch

With every sync your contacts on your pc and iphone should be updated. So you cab use your windows contact app to sync it to the ipod touch. Disable automatic sync in itunes, activate the option to delete all contact info on the ipod once in the info pane with your ipod connected and sync. All your contacts will be transfered to your ipod.

Syncing contacts from iPhone back to iMac (Entourage)

Briefly, after both my Time Machine and hard drive failed, I lost all my data. My Entourage contacts re-main on my iPhone, and I want to sync them back to Entourage. I understand the process of "merging,"but I have run into a few obstacles: I am using the latest version of iTunes (7.6.2), by the way. First, under Preferences, I have no options available under "Syncing." Then, when I connect my iPhone, and select "Info," I have no options here, either. I do have a number of contacts in Entourage in my iMac, but, apparently, iTunes no longer recognizes the existence of this program, so I can go no-
where. (My Entourage Contacts have been duplicated in my Address Book, but that doesn't show up, either. Something must be terribly corrupted.) I'm both frustrated and perplexed, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance. pah

Something to check when syncing contacts from iphone back to computer, make sure to open address book and enter at least one contact.
Then when you connect the iphone, you should get a message asking if you want to merge the data.
Click merge and this should copy all contacts from the iphone back into address book.
the same goes with ical also.
Make sure there is at least one event in ical.
Now to move the data in address book and ical to entourage is set in the entourage preferences in the sync services section.
Hope this helps.

HI,
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692 provides tips that will resolve most issues related to syncing contacts and calendars on a PC.
Make sure you have at least one contact in the contact manager on the PC, so there are contacts to merge.
You can sync and even merge contacts on from multiple computers as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296

I already have an iPhone 5 and I just bought an iPod touch. I switched on the automatic download for the App Store from the settings for the iPod touch but after downloading some new apps to my iPhone they still didn't not automatically download on my iPod touch!!
I checked troubleshooting online but it didn't help.
automatic download is switched on in both devices. And I didn't have this problem before between my iPhone and iPad.
i Need help please.
iyas

thank you, this helped
but i will test it again by downloading other apps that are compatible for both

HT1296 I can't sync the whole playlist from my computer to my iPod touch. Songs which don't sync have a dotted circle in front of the title?

I can't sync the complete playlist from my PC to my iPos touch. Songs which don't transfer have a dotted grey circle in front of the title?

Hey, I had the exact same problem with my transferring a new album my friend bought on my Mac, to my iphone... It took me two days to figure it out, but it could be either of 2 things:
1. You don't have the "manually manage music and videos" box checked. If you check it, then try to click and drag it over to your music on your device, it should then sync (on iTunes 11) This was my problem, and I checked that box, and it transferred and downloaded instantly
2. You don't have enough memory space on your device to put the playlist on. This was the problem for a lot of other people, not me, but they said it worked once they cleared some space on their device.
Hopes this helps!

Transfering contacts from Iphone 2 to Iphone 5s

I have recently upgraded my phone from IPhone 2 (IOS 4.2.1) to IPhone 5s. I followed all the procedures to restroe contacts and notes with Itunes:
- create a back up with the old Iphone
- disconnect phone and connect new one
- restore back up
but the restore does not work. Can anyone help? thank you

Transfering contacts from iPhone 2g to iPhone 4 went wrong!

Hello all,
I have the following issue - I have iPhone 2g and want to transfer all contacts and msgs to the new iPhone 4.
I followed this manual http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109
First I made back up on the PC with info from iPhone 2, then connected the new phone and put the back up in it.
However, all contacts have transfered but settings from my previous phone! Like keyboard languages, time zones and etc. The problem is that the phone looks weird now!
There are menu's transfered from the back up to the new iphone, some of the ringtones stay there but they are unactive (when you go to sets>sounds>ringtones you see them, you can press them, but no sound comes) and most important - icons don't lool like the original iPhone 4!
So my questions - how to return to clean installation of OS 4.3 (or different) and is this the only way to get back the phone to the state I've bought it? I just want a clean new installation, no matter if i'll lose the information!
The iPhone 4 is OS 4.3, sim free.

if you sync with itunes or gmail or mobileme you can just remove the wrong synced contacts and get the right ones from those services
if you don't you really should

Transfering data from iPhone BACK to Mac

Hi. My Mac's hard drive recently crashed and everything is wiped out. I have a new hard disk now.
My question is: How do I transfer data FROM my iPhone... BACK to my Mac? I would like to transfer data from my iCal, iTunes, iPhotos and contacts.
Would appreciate some advice. It's been a very frustrating experience. I don't want to screw up and end up deleting all my data from my iPhone instead.

While I have read and checked, and looked into this topic, there
isn't a whole bunch of stuff that is easily found via online search
even if the search terms or words are changed around quite a bit.
For just moving iTunes music, that is easier than data; and I can
see the need to re-integrate data and your stuff back to a Mac
especially if you need to restore the computer, should it fail. The
items on an iPhone or iPod Touch, etc, would be essential to a
multi-tasking user who has a home base and needs to save and
use this stuff between several devices you have and own.
Most of the sync information on how to move stuff, tends to delete
the peripheral content from the iPod, iPhone, etc and sets them
back to some pre-used state or default initialization. There must
be some other way, that actually lets the user take control over
items so you can archive and restore, or reuse them in your Mac.
So, with the odds not looking good, on retaining content should
one go through with the often suggested sync or other wiping
results of attaching a Mac to a portable iPod, etc, be careful to
not do that unless you have that content somewhere else first!
Is there a way you could use a gmail account to save and move
items, perhaps if you can upload content there, it can be saved
into a computer via email (wireless, etc) and save it that way?
For the iTunes music, you could check into and see if this thing
called (iTunes, backward) may work. I have not read a lot about
it, though it has been around awhile. Not sure what else it can do.

Transferring contacts from iphone 4s to PC and then to new iphone5

I am getting a new iphone 5 and want to transfer my contacts from my work phone iphone 4S to my PC . when I get new iphone 5 I will then transfer contacts from PC to iphone 5.
Can you advise best way for me to do this?

Hello grandview97
The best method would be to back up your iPhone 4s with either iTunes or iCloud. Once that is complete, then you can plug in your new iPhone and restore that back up from either iTunes or through iCloud. The steps are laid out in the article below.

Transfering Contacts FROM iphone

Hello everyone. My contacts on Yahoo are severely outdated.
Currently, I have contacts sync-ing set to 'off'.
I would like to transfer my contacts from my iPhone to Yahoo.
But I am afraid that my iPhone contacts will be lost.
I have read that when there is information on the iPhone and Yahoo address book, that iTunes simply merges everything. In that case, shall I delete everything but ONE entry in Yahoo and then perform a sync?
What happens if I delete EVERYTHING on Yahoo and perform a sync?
Thanks!

I suggest syncing contacts with a supported application on your computer first so that you have a fall back.
With XP, this can be with the address book used by Outlook Express. If you haven't used this address book and it is empty, enter on contact in the address book before syncing. This will provide a merge prompt when syncing contact info which you want to select.
When syncing with your Yahoo online address book which includes contact info, contact info between the two will be merged. If you want to replace all online contact info, delete all online contact info first except for one contact. If something goes wrong or doesn't turn out like you wanted, you have a backup of sorts on your computer with the address book used by OE. You can replace all iPhone contact info with the OE contact info via the iTunes sync process, but you can't do the reverse.

Transfering Playlists from iPhone back to iTunes

Is there a way to transfer my Playlists from my iPhone back to my iTunes account? I had to re-download iTunes and have recovered everything except for my 40+ Playlists. Thanks!

No, the music sync is one way: Computer to phone.

Transferring contacts from iphone 4 to 4s?!?!?

Hello,
My iphone 4 was stolen and my contacts were not backed up on icloud. I have now got an iphone 4s, is there any way of getting back my contacts? They may have been backed up on iTunes......
Please help!!

This explains what iTunes backs up. Read the Contacts section carefully (especially the asterisk note):
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
Bottom line: Maybe your contacts are preserved somewhere on your computer depending on what account housed your contacts on your stolen iPhone. I wouldn't count on finding too many of them in an iTunes backup.
