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.

  • I transferred video from iPhone (4S) to iPhoto and then to iMovie9.  Footage in iMovie is stretched.  Is there a way to fix that?

    I transferred video from iPhone (4S) to iPhoto and then dropped that footage into iMovie9.  The footage is there in iMovie but it is stretched.  I have tried to adjust using aspect ratio options but that doesn't work.  Is there a way to fix that in iMovie (or at any other point in the process)?

    It shouldn't be this way.  Did you shoot the video in portrait or landscape mode?  Many people shoot in portrait mode because they typically hold the phone upright.  This is really shouldn't happen if the videos are shot in landscape mode.

    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

  • 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 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

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I want to place my contacts from Iphone to my mac, and i don't want to lose my contacts, wat is the best option?

    Is it safe to sync my iphone with the mac, i want to place my contacts from my Iphone to the mac.
    How can i do this?

    Of course it is safe, it's what you are supposed to do. The only time you might have an issue is if you have already synced to a different computer. As long as there is at least one contact already on your Mac, when you first sync you will be given the option to merge the contacts.

  • HT4528 I have 3 iPhones, one Ipad, and two PC's that I have tried to "connect" using one iTunes account and am having issues.I connected iPhone #3 to one PC, it removed all contacts from iPhone #3, replaced w/ contacts from iPhone #2. How can I get back?

    I have 3 iPhones, one iPad and 2 PC's, all using the same iTunes account.  I want to be able to have each iPhone keep their own list of accounts and music list and the I pad different as well.  I want to 2 PC's music list to match.  How do I do this?
    Additionally, when I connected iPhone #3 to one PC, it removed the contacts from #3 and replaced it with contacts from iPhone #2.  How do I get those contacts back and prevent this from happening again?
