haha ngb

next question, does anyone know how (or where) to get to the contacts out of itunes/computer?

Does itunes detect your iPhone when you connect it to the computer? I’ve done some googling for you and it looks pretty easy if it does (in line with my advice above i.e sync from itunes to google contacts) but I didn’t see much if you can’t get the phone showing in iTunes. Getting off computer soon so I might have to leave that answer to someone more familiar with iTunes than me.

iphone is fooookkked, doesnt charge, connect or anything long face

Ok have found another option. There does seem to be some software out there eg http://www.icopybot.com/itunes-backup-manager.htm (never used it myself) that will allow you to extract the contacts from the itunes backup file for your iPhone. So you could give one of those a shot if you are desperate or try my idea with a donor phone from my previous post.

Are ya on a PC Dylan?????

Did you sync your contacts into a Windows Program?????

Outlook etc etc!!!!!

If you did, then your Contacts should be in there!!!!!

I have mine synced to my Address Book in Mac, so all the info is in therefor me!!!!!

Dunno if it works the same on a PC, but can’t see why it wouldn’t!!!!!

If this is so, I would think that the Android should then be able to be setup to sync your contacts with the same program?????

You can access the iphone file, using software as suggested is the best way.

I’m not on my computer now so I can’t walk you through the /path.
Mostly the files are encripted so software is needed to open them.

HAZZAR FOR MIZU!!!!

Nice work Mizu!  shaka

Now if you need to edit or add any contacts you can do it really easily from any computer and it will sync to your phone. Just login to https://www.google.com/contacts/?hl=en#contacts and any changes you make there will be reflected on your phone and vice versa.

Fortunately you won’t have this issue again as your contacts can now sync to any phone or even multiple phones/tablets in the future.
