How to transfer contacts and massages from iphone to computer?

Hi, Shahmeer23c
iCloud is useful for a lot of things and backing up your iPhone's data is one of them. Included in the data and files that you can safely keep using iCloud are your contacts. The following instructions detail how to transfer contacts from iPhone to computer.
Step 1. On your iPhone, tap on Settings. On the "Settings" menu, select "iCloud". You will then be taken to the iCloud Settings.
Step 2. Enable the "Contacts" setting and should you be informed that you'll have to merge your contacts to iCloud, tap "Merge".
Step 3. Now on your computer, go to iCloud.com and login with your iCloud credentials.
Step 4. Once you're logged in, click on the Contacts icon to access your address book and all iCloud features for the contacts you've uploaded.
Step 5. In the address book, click on the cog icon at the lower-left portion, click "Select All", and "Export vCard" afterwards. 
Step 6. iCloud will then give you a vCard that you can store on your computer. It contains all the contacts you've uploaded to iCloud using your iPhone.

    how to transfer music and pictures from iphone to computer

    If the music was purchased from iTunes then you should be able to copy them over to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases if you have iTunes 11 on your computer). If the music came from other sources and you don't have a copy of them anywhere else, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which might be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    For photos taken with the phone then on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard, and on a Mac you can use Image Capture, iPhoto or Aperture : copying photos. To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • HOW TO TRANSFER CONTACTS AND MESSAGES FROM 3G TO 3GS

    I BOUGHT NEW 3GS 2012 MODEL 8GB , AND WANT TO TRANSFER MY CONTACTS AND MESSAGES FROM MY OLD 3G 8GB TO NEW 3GS.
    OLD 3G IS NOT SUPPORTING TO I CLOUD. HOW CAN I GET ALL MY CONTACTS AND MESSAGES IN NEW 3GS?
    THANKS IN ADVANCE

    Can you try first backing up your 3G with iTunes (I guess synching also does this) and then restoring your new 3GS using this backup.
    Note that this might delete all other data you have in your new 3GS (if any) and replace it with the data you have in 3G. This might also lower the version of your OS in your 3GS, however you should be easily update the OS if restore becomes successful.

  • HT201302 How to transfer a photo folder from iPhone 5 to Windows XP computer?

    Hi,
    I created a folder on my iPhone, and now would like to transfer this folder to my Windows XP computer.  Is there an easy way to do this?
    Thank you for reading.
    Stefan

    When you are trying to import photos from your iPhone to the computer, it will only import photos from the Camera Roll.  
    If you created an album on the iPhone, this album won't sync over (the photos may be from the Camera Roll and those pictures will transfer over, but it won't be in the albums you created). 
    Also if you synced a photo folder to the iPhone from a computer, this will not sync over back to a computer.
    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 :
    You can import only photo and video content taken with the built-in camera or captured on the device. You cannot import photo or video content synced from iTunes.

  • How to transfer messages and photos from iPhone 4 to iPhone 5?

    Bought an iPhone 5. Never had good explanation of moving messages and photos from old iPhone 4. How can this be done?

    Hi, there are 2 useful methods you can try:
    Solution 1. Restore your iPhone 5 with the backup file of your iPhone 4. The brief simple steps are:
            1.Connect your iPhone 4 with your computer via a USB cable and launch iTunes;
            2. Click on your iPhone in iTunes. In Summary window, choose 'This computer' and click Back Up Now in the backup area to backup your iPhone 4.
            3. Reject your iPhone 4.
            4. Connect your iPhone 5 to your computer through the USB cable. Click it in iTunes.
            5. Click 'Restore iPhone'. Follow the prompts and do what it tells you to do.
            6. When the prompt ask you to set your iPhone, choose the backup you've made in step 2 to restore your iPhone 5.
    Note: Messages will surely be restored to your iPhone 5. As for photos, only these one you've captured with your iPhone (saved in Camera Roll) will be restored to your iPhone 5.
    Solution 2. Connect both iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 to your computer, try MobileTrans to copy photos and messages from your iPhone 4 to iPhone 5.

  • How to transfer photos and videos from iPhone 4 to PC

    Hi.
    I've recently bought an iPhone 4, and i can't find how to download photos to my PC. First of all to say that i'm not posting this "blind" - i've done a lot of Googling to try and find answers to this, but none seem to work for me.
    I don't have iPhoto, i'm running XP Home SP3. When i connect my iPhone to my PC it doesn't show up in My Computer, so i can't copy and paste the photos using Windows Explorer. One page suggested i restart the Bonjour service, but that didn't help.
    The Scanner and Camera Wizard doesn't recognise my iPhone, and when i try to add it as a new device, there is no Apple option.
    I know that there's an option to email all the photos in, but there must be another way if i can physically connect the phone to my PC.
    Help!
    Any comments will be very much appreciated.

    Thanks to both of you for your replies.
    For some reason, the Camera & Scanner Wizard has started to detect the phone now. Maybe it will stop again in the future, but for now it's OK.
    I do have iTunes installed, and the iPhone's still not appearing in Windows Explorer. I might reinstall if the problem recurs.
    Yep, it's an official Apple cable, but it's a bit old. I got it with my iPod a few years back. Maybe i should start using that as the charger cable, and the new cable i got with my iPhone for syncing?
    Thanks again for your replies.

    How to move contacts and messages from Samsung Galaxy S3 to iPhone5?

    As long as you had the Android data synced with your Google account, they should be there when you sync it on your new phone. That is by far the easiest way.
    I think there is also an import/export option when you hit the menu button in the contacts app. and you could export them to SD card and import them on the new phone using the same SD card.
    Or you can use Mobile Transfer to transfer data between Android smartphone. It is really simple, follow this guide to move contacts from Samsung S3 to iPhone 5.
