[QUOTE="Mirfyc, post: 1100908, member: 169701"] [b]Sync does not work both ways[/b] The sync only works one way. For whatever reason, it erased all but 3 of my contacts from my (new to me) iphone. There were no contacts in my macbook address book and since I had read here that it was a two way sync, I just thought it would transfer my contacts to he macbook address. So now I have an iphone with only 3 contacts, and an address book on macbook with only 3 contacts. No, there was no warning or pop up dialog. No, there was no option on itunes that allowed for me to back up my contacts. No, there is no option to import or export into my address book on macbook. And lastly, resorting to my old Razr, there is no way to import those contacts into my macbook. This is why mac has haters. I have lost every family name, number, and address, because I trusted that mac was a two way sync. [/QUOTE]
