Anyone familiar with a way that iPhone contacts can be edited using a PC. The contacts do not show up in iTunes.

TIA.


Update: CopyTrans Contacts does what I want. You get 50 free actions. Full version costs $19.99.

Would love to hear an answer to this. I'm tired of seeing Facebook photos from 6 years ago whenever I get a call/text

you can go to iCloud.com and edit contacts online. The other way would be to sync contacts with Outlook.
quote:

Synchronization of contacts between Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 and your Apple iPhone or iPod touch requires Apple iTunes. You can configure which items are synchronized during a one-time set up process.

After the initial setup, each time that you connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your computer, the changes made on your computer or device are synchronized.

Connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your computer using the cable provided with your device or by placing the iPhone or iPod touch in the Apple Universal Dock.

iTunes opens automatically when connected to your computer.

In iTunes, in the source list, under Devices, click the entry for your iPhone or iPod touch.

Click the Info tab.

Under Contacts, click Sync contacts from, and then click Outlook.

Do one of the following:

To synchronize all contacts, click All contacts.

To limit the contacts that are synchronized, click Selected groups, and then click the groups you want to synchronize.

NOTE: To select multiple groups, press CTRL as you click each group name.

Click Apply.

Or just get an android phone and it will sync automagically with your gmail contacts.

Maybe I should have been clearer, I do not sync the phone with any email programs or cloud service. Was just looking for a way to access the phone on computer. I have a ton of contacts to delete and it takes to long to go into each individual one on the iPhone and delete it.

It's easy enough to set up and it would populate your gmail contacts with your phone contacts. Edit/delete them in gmail and your changes will then appear on your phone. Good way to backup your phone as well.

I back up phone with iTunes to computer. I do not sync with email because I have way too many contacts in my email and I do not need all of them on phone. Whenever I get a business card of someones number, I enter it in email address book and get rid of the paper.

Set up a separate gmail account for each phone. Problem solved.
