A friend of mine just got an iPhone 5 and the store where he bought it transferred all phone numbers from his wife's iPhone to it and on top he also put some more contacts in manually. When he now synced for the first time the contacts from his Mac (with OS X 10.6) to the iPhone via iTunes (not via iCloud) all the contacts that were already on the iPhone got deleted.
Was this deletion unavoidable or how could he have avoided it?
Should not iTunes have done a backup from the iPhone first before it put the new data on it? If there is a backup how can the old data on the iPhone be restored (without deleting the contacts on the Mac)?
Thanks for your help (if there is some)!
