My Mac's HD crashed. I got a new one.
How do I take the contacts on my iPhone and migrate them to my essentially new Mac?

Thanks!

Once you sync your iPhone with iTunes on the new HD, all your contacts will be in Address Book.

Are you sure? I thought it'd simply overwrite the iPhone's address book with the one in the Mac.

I have found, unofficially, that neither has priority.

A delete on one will delete on the other; an addition or correction on one will change the other.

Since the "new" Mac HD never had any info, I would HOPE the iPhone info will transfer to the Mac. A backup 1st would be highly advised.

Let us know the results.
