Broke IPhone 4.  How do I transfer contacts to my old iPhone 3G.

My iPhone 4 is completely out of commission.  I did back it up in iTunes.  When I tried to do a restore on my iPhone 3G using a backup of my iPhone 4, it said the software was too old.  My iPhone 4 was at 4.3.2, my iPhone 3G is at 3.1.3. 
Is there any way to extract the contacts from my iPhone 4 backup and then transfer it to my iPhone 3G.  I don't want to upgrade the firmware on my 3G because that will just make it even slower. 
As a last resort, I don't mind just seeing my contacts in text format, and then manually entering them into my 3G.  If you know how to do this, please let me know.  Also, could you let me know how to access the Notes as well?

Obviously not, or I wouldn't have posted a question about how to get into the contacts from my backup file.  There are three possible responses to my question
1)  It is impossible to do any of the things you are trying to do.
2)  Yes, it is possible, this is how to do it.
This should have been yours - 3) No response, because I don't know have helpful answers to any of your questions.
Your response provides no help at all.  But thanks for the bump.  You should change your name to roamingtroll.

    I used the following method, which means that your contacts are permanently on your iPhone (the problem with syncing to Gmail in order to 'transfer' contacts is that you need the gmail account to be active all the time in order to see the contacts), take an example of transferring contacts from Sony to iPhone:
    1. Transfer all of your contacts to the Sony Experia's internal storage. It will create a vCard file.
    2. Connect your Sony Experia to a pc
    3. Ensure that you can see the Sony Experia's internal storage files, and identify the location of the vCard file (for me it was in system/PIM)
    4. Set up an email account on your iPhone
    5. Email the vCard file to the email account on your iPhone
    6. Open the vCard file attachment on your iPhone
    7. You should now see your contacts and automatically have the option (in the same screen) to 'Add all xxx Contacts' where xxx is the number of contacts in the vCard file
    Hope that helps.

    Please how do I transfer Contacts from old Nokia N8 to my new iPhone 4S?
    Yes there is,
    Download and install Nokia Suite for your PC. After installation, go to "tools" in the top menu and click on "options". The Options window should open up. on the left side select "contacts" and then under "sync with contacts application", select "Windows Contacts". After this click on "ok".
    Connect your Nokia C3-00 to the computer with Nokia Suite still open. Your phone will show up in the application. Move mouse cursor over the contacts square on the left of the application window, and then click "sync". Wait for the sync to finish. Disconnect the Nokia phone.
    Download and install iTunes. Connect your iphone. from this application you will be given an option to import contacts from Windows contacts. This should give you all the contacts.

    Use this app My Contacts Backup on the iTunes App Store,
    It will make a vcard (.vcf) file containing your contacts and email it to the address you choose. Just import it to the iCloud account on your Mac and it will be available to all your Macs and IOS devices in iCloud.
    If you keep a copy after you import you will have a handy backup as well.

  • How do I transfer contacts from my old Iphone 3g to my new Iphone 4

    Hi everyone!
    I've been using an iphone 3g (carrier locked) for the last 2 years and I've recently purchased an Iphone 4 (carrier locked). First thing I did, was activated the micro Sim through my carrier's website (thus deactiviting the old sim). But I've soon realized that my iTunes now won't recognize my iphone 3g (saying that the Sim card is not supported) and I can't backup my contacts to load it onto my new iphone. Can someone help me?!
    Thank youu!! Much appreciated!

    Hi,
    You can use your Address Book from Either windows or mac and then can sync your contact using the info TAB in iTunes.

    How can I transfer contacts from my Iphone to ipad without using a computer?

    The easiest method is to setup an iCloud account, turn on Contacts syncing in Settings > iCloud on both devices, and the Contacts from the iPhone will sync to the iPad.

    How can I transfer contacts from my iPhone to a new iPad with another Apple-ID?

    You can't. Not directly anyway. You might be able to import them to your computer and then sync them to the iPad but there is no way to transfer them over the air or by connecting the two devices with a cable.
    I know absolutely nothing about apps like this, but I did a very quick Google search and found this.

  • How do i transfer contacts from a broken iphone to another?

    How do i transfer contacts from my iphone that will not turn on, to another working iphone?

    Hey dbricknr,
    If you signed into your device with an iCloud account and backed up your contacts through iCloud, the next time you go onto that new working iPhone be sure to sign in into your iCloud account.
    To do so, please follow perform these instructions on your iPhone:
    Settings > iCloud > You should see somewhere with an option to sign in, from there sign in. > Once you do that, go back to the iCloud settings page on your iPhone and make sure Contacts are on.
    Turning the contacts slide on should backup your new contacts you added on this phone, (If I'm correct)
    Your contacts should now appear in your contacts section.
    Hope this helps!

  • How do I TRANSFER CONTACTS (back up contacts) from iPhone 4s to Windows 7

    How do I TRANSFER CONTACTS (back up contacts) from iPhone 4s to Windows 7

    THANK YOU. Sorry for late response. Had to pick someone up. 
    randers4    - I decided to go with the My Contacts Backup app which produced success (I'll know for sure if I need to use the file)
    JoFlo57  - I understand that I could use iCloud but I'm a little on the paranoid side about everybody's data in one location... what with hackers getting into Sony's Playstation accounts and other infamous huge hacking security failures I frankly don't feel safe storing anything on iCloud.

    How can I transfer contacts from htc wildfire to iPhone 4?

        Hello ugadawgs79,
    I know how important it is to have access to your contacts! I'm glad you have successfully backed up your contacts to Backup Assistant. Now, let's get these contacts moved over to your iPhone!
    To start, we will remove VZ Contact Transfer from your iPhone 4. http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=39865
    Next, let's power your phone off; then back on.
    Once the phone is back on, be sure that Wifi is turned off. The VZ Contact Transfer application must be performed over the Verizon Wireless data network and not a WiFi network.
    reinstall the VZ Contact Transfer application and follow this guide: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=39928
    Keep us posted. We're here to help.

  • How do I transfer contacts from a backup to iPhone?

    I just restored my iPhone as a new phone. I have a backup saved in my computer, not in iCloud. So my question is: how do I transfer contacts from that backup to my newly restored phone, and ONLY the contacts, nothing more (that's the whole point of my restoring my phone as a new phone).
    I don't know if all of that makes sense, but if someone knows how to do that, please help me, I can't afford to lose those hundreds of contacts.

    Download a free copy of ibackupbot for your computer and try it.  If you think it is what you want you have to pay $30
