The iPhone 4G retrieves contacts from the iTunes program, which connects to the Address Book application on a Macintosh computer or from Microsoft Outlook on PCs. Whenever new contacts are added to the computer program, the iPhone is automatically updated with the new information through the iTunes synchronization process. Alternate third-party programs including Yahoo! and Google are included in the list of supported programs that allow contact transferring, and their information is stored in iTunes as well.
Instructions
1. Click the "+" icon beneath the "Name" column to add a new contact in the Address Book application, or click "File," "New" and "Contact" on the Microsoft Outlook menu. For Google Gmail, click "Contacts" on the side menu of the browser and click "New Contact." For Yahoo, click "Add Contacts" in the "Contacts" menu located in the browser.
2. Plug the phone's cable into the bottom of the iPhone and into the computer's serial port.
3. Run iTunes on your Macintosh or PC.
4. Open the iPhone's preferences by clicking the "iPhone" tab in the side window of iTunes.
5. Click the "Info" tab, and click "Sync Contacts."
6. Select the contact program from the iTunes' pull-down menu, and click "All Contacts."
