Back up Contacts WITHOUT OUTLOOK

I use Outlook at work and use the calendar as my all-the-time calendar, but don't want all my personal contacts synced with that. At home I use Mozilla Thunderbird for some e-mail accounts and Gmail for others. I don't want to have to figure out where my contacts are. What other options are there for back-up of contacts?
ALSO: When I click on the Sync 'CONFIGURE' in Link, I get a garbled overlay of two messages, and couldn't sync with either of the above, even if I wanted to. (I tried to post the screen shot, but it won't let me). One message appears to say 'Blackberry Link has not detected any data sources to link with such as MS Outlook.' The other is 'Your calendar and contacts that are manually synced will not be transferred during a backup, restore, or device switch.'
Any advice?

I tried editing contacts with Thunderbird and also with Gmail. It mostly worked but there were scrambled items because each email client has it's own tempate or data structure. Duplicates occur on import to the BB10 device. BBM fields may be lost.
I would like to do complete management of contacts and calendars within Link without dependency on software that is not from Blackberry.

Hey sekhardharmana8584!
You can transfer your Outlook contacts to your iPhone using the information in the following article:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph12317
You could also have your contacts constantly syncing with your iPhone via iCloud and the iCloud Control Panel, which can be found here:
iCloud Control Panel 3.1 for Windows

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

Tip: Transfer contacts without Outlook (Express), ...

I struggled to export contacts properly without being forced to use Outlook
CSV files, even if they are created by PcSuite itself, are sometimes not recognized by PcSuite (...). Somehow you cannot directly export to VCF files (imagine that Nokia would make people's lives easy ).
Here a short howto
Connect to your phone with PcSuite (even "OVI-only" phones work)
Open contacts, select all contacts
right-click selection, select "send business card"
Click "Preview Message" (open envelope icon at the bottom)
Click "View business cards" (message with paperclip icon)
Click "Save to file" (document with plus icon)
Choose a location, create a new folder, and you will have saved contacts separately as VCF. These can be imported by many programs.
Works with PcSuite 7.1 (Windows) and Nokia 6303i classic, 6230i and 3120

Calendar & Contacts Without Outlook

Is there a Windows utility I can use to create (and sync) calendar and contact entries without having to use Outlook? Light and simple would be best.
Ronny

For contacts, you can use Yahoo! Address Book, Google Address Book, Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), Vista Contacts, or Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC.
You can only sync calendars from Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC.
You could also use the MobileMe webapps.

ICloud backup; can I back up contacts without email and calendar?

Hi,
I have ported my iPhone from my old work to my new workplace. I've backed up all my contacts to iCloud. When work added my new email account, I lost all my contacts. When I restored them from the cloud, I lost my new work email. How do I restore my old contacts, and keep my new email and calendar?
Thanks
Pastel.

Hi Brendan. Thanks for your clue but unfortunately that did not solve the problem. Prior to posting my query I had already checked out the article you're referring me to (whose URL is http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3605). It may well be that I'm not being crystal clear owing to my far from perfect English but the whole point is precisely that I'm not able to import contacts which ALREADY appear on my iPad - being the outcome of syncing my remote MS Exchange account with the device - into iCloud. The procedure described in the quoted article simply doesn't work (for that matter, no such Setting sign pops up under ICloud contacts). In fact, it appears that the only contacts which I'm able to keep under iCloud are those which I directly create from scratch within iCloud Group itself. Since I'm likely to have my MS outlook account ( which is mirrored into a MS Exchange one for remote usage) forcibly deleted in one month time or so, I started worrying about how to keep my contacts alive/ intact after that deletion. Hope the issue got clearer now ... Cheers, Piero.

My contacts have been transferred from my iPhone5 to iPhone6 . I now need to back them up in a new PC in a separate address book How can I do it without adding all contacts from Outlook when I synch from iTunes ?

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

I am unable to sync my contacts from outlook in xp to my ipad 3 have followed all instructions without success. Can any one help

Sync the photos back to the iPad using iTunes. You have to place the photos into a folder from which you sync photos. All photos that you want to sync to the device must be included in the main photos folder and selected to sync each time that you sync.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
Click on the Sync Photos From heading in order to select it.
Select the photos folder that you want to sync from.
Select all of the albums or photos within the folder that you want to sync.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

If you can see the iCloud contacts in Outlook, you can copy them back to your PC by selecting all the contacts (click one, then press Control-A), then drag and drop the selected contacts to Contacts under My Contacts on the left sidebar of Outlook.
If you want to copy your calendar back to Outlook, select your iCloud calendar on the left sidebar of Outlook, switch to the list view (select View from the ribbon, then click Change View>List), select your events (click on a single event, then press Control-A), then control drag and drop them to Calendar under My Calendars on the left sidebar.
Then you can sign out of iCloud on the iCloud control panel and your local copies will still be there. If you want to add your iCloud email account back to iCloud, you can do this with these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.

Are you sure that you can transfer contacts from the iPod to Skydrive?
I would try the links that I previusly provided and try to get iTunes to see the iPOd so you can do everthing right.
If you find a computer that can see the iPOd yu can update the iPod on that computer. See:
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5
Yu can make that your suncing computer by -
- Transfering iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Connect the iPod and make a backup by right clicking on the iPOd under Dvices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore from that backup. That will also update the iPod.

If you asking me, I would suggest to additonally use a second storage service which also allows you to store your pictures over the 30 days period. I personally use Dropbox with automatic upload for that (https://db.tt/cMEgDUFZ), but there are also other storage services like Flickr for example.
