I have an iPhone that is already synced with my iMac, but I am away on leave and am using a Windows 7 computer. I need to send the contacts I've created on my iPhone to my Gmail account online, because I am going to update my iPhone's operating system and want to be sure I do not lose the contacts on my phone. I know I will probably lose my music, but that's okay.

There's a way to do this from your iMac. Can you gain remote access to your iMac or work with someone who could access it? – bg2011 Nov 19 '11 at 13:49

Look at this thread in Google forums.

Also you can use many third-party services like Soocial, NuevaSync and others.

My personal best way to sync with Google is iTunes (without Mac OS X) or AddressBook.app (on Mac OS X) at the moment.

As I understand your contacts are not on iCloud, but just synced locally with your Mac. What I would do is to share them to Gmail from your Mac: Preferences > On my Mac > synchronize with Google.

That way you'll have two ways syncing between Gmail and your Mac + your Mac will sync with your iPhone.

I am assuming that the Windows 7 iTunes display of Devices frame.

In iTunes->Devices(the side bar)->Select your iPhone device->Info tab(at the top)->Sync Contacts click/check Sync Google Contacts and click Configure... to enter your gmail account info.
