I use thunderbird as mail application, how may i synchronize the contacts?
Additional contacts are in the FritzBox App and in the Sipgate and Skype App.
How may a add all these contacts to the iPhone?
iPhone 3G, iOS 4.2
You can't. Thunderbird is NOT a supported contact manager. You need to get the contacts into a supported application.
Thanks,
but to know what does not work, will not help to solve any problem.
Where may i find the format to import contacts to the iPhone?
I would mix/sync the differnt sources on my own and import it to the iPhone.
There is no sense for me to use MS outlook.
If you want to sync them to the iPhone, you'll need to get the contacts into Windows Address Book or Outlook on a PC or Address Book on a Mac. Once you do that, Select the proper source in iTunes and Sync them. You can also sync to any number of cloud services. Google Contacts (with G-mail configured as an Exchange account), Yahoo, iCloud, etc.
Is there no possibility to direct import/export the contacts?
I don't use Windows Address Book or Outlook on my PCs (XP, Vista, Win7).
I neither did exposure my data to a cloud service nor do I have a Google ID.
I would prefere do programm the neccessary mix- or sync-routines on my own and import/export the data either to the iPhone directly or via iTunes.
No, there is not. They can only be synced from a compatible address book or cloud service. That's it. Thunderbird is not a compatible contact manager.
Ok, then i will try to import first to Windows Address book, That supports *.csv and 2nd with iTunes to the iPhone.
May a export/sync iPhone contacts back to Windows address book?
Sorry for boring you, but I dont like to be forced by any vendor to only use there tools.
Sync is 2 way. Any changes made on the phone will be reflected in Windows Address book when you next sync.
All my email contacts are in thunderbird, but it is no a contact manager?
Than iphone is not an email device.
I solved my problem. I changed to a Android smartphone and will use the iphone to play music in the car.
I worked since 1968 in IT as programmer, sys- and net-admin and manager and I don't like the way, how Apple dominates user to go there and only there way.
User friendly means, to allow everbody to get happy on his own way and not to force everbody to one solution.

You appear to have a reading comprehension problem. Tim said it is not a "compatible contact manager" or, in another post, not a "supported contact manager". Both of those phrases mean something quite different than "no(t) a contact manager".
Glad that you have found something that suits your needs. Have fun in the Android forums.
Sorry for not beeing able to follow all details in an english converstion.
But what does that mean, not supported?
Why does Apple not provide the interface documentation, that would allow everybody to support them self or use the "apple supported" solutions. That would be user friendly.
Not supported means you can not sync to it directly. Read the manual. You can sync with MS Outlook and Windows Address Book on Windows, Contacts (Address Book) on OS X, iCloud, Yahoo, Exchange, and any number of other cloud services.
As for "interface documentation", if you want that, sign up as a developer. That is not "user" level "stuff".
Thanks. Do you have a link to the documentation?
What are the prerequisits to sign as a developer to get interface documentation.
Thanks. I would like to get external interface dokumentation and not to enroll 99 Dollar for developer tools.
There are several formats for im/export (vcard, csv, xml, ldap, ....) or proprietary formats.
I would like to export from iphone to a dataset and convert it to the destination import format.
