I use Outlook 2003 at work and my iPhone automatically syncs with updates I make to my Contacts List on make on my work PC. Question: How do I sync Contacts between my iPhone and iMac? I-Tunes indicates this happens over the air, but my Contact updates are not moving from my phone to my Mac.

Contacts can only be synced over the air if you have a mobileme account. If you do not, then you must toggle it off at the iTunes "info" panel when you plug in the iPhone. Thereafter, select manual sync for contacts. That way it will be synced to Address Book on your Mac.

Windows Contacts works amazing. Never have to restore with backup anymore.

X100! This is the best thing to do. You can never lose your contacts, and, God forbid, you ever went to another OS your contacts are there waiting for you in the cloud ready to sync to almost any other smartphone.

Setting up an Exchange account with Google is great and it's FREE.

My contacts are set to sync with Windows Address Book but I can't find it on my PC I use Windows Live Mail and the contacts there do not sync. I can't wait for my iMac and .me email account

Hi I am new to the forums but that is not why I am writing. my old iphone screen will not turn on anymore (my fault) but i can still hear the recognizable sound the iphone produces when i plug it in to my computer.

It looks like the device is operational but i cannot do anything on it. I am trying to salvage as much as I could and save my contact list to my computer before the iphone goes out completely. i am on a windows 7. how could i go about rescuing my iphone contacts?

Connect your iphone to your computer, sync your iPhone contacts with Windows Contacts via iTunes. There might be a bit of a caveat when using Windows Contacts though - any contact numbers on your iPhone which you have under the "iPhone" type will not appear as Windows Contacts supports only numbers of the "Home", "Mobile", "Work" etc but not "iPhone".

You can alternatively a this third party tool to export the contacts from your iphone to your PC. As far as I know, it preserves the data associated with your iphone contacts.

I guess you did not enable iCloud contact sync before your screen malfunctioned otherwise you wouldn't be here. In any case, if you have iCloud contact sync enabled, this is your ticked to having your contacts saved the quickest. Just log in to your iCloud account from a browser on your PC and export your iPhone contacts from there.
