How can I back up the contacts on this windows phone

I just purchased the iPhone and need to back up the contacts fro the windows phone. How can I do this?

They automatically sync to your Hotmail when you add them, if you use your Hotmail address. As for your contacts from Facebook and other social media that show up, those of course are part of that social media account. One other thing. If you have Windows 8.1, your contacts are backed up automatically (as are your texts, your list of apps, etc.) so that if you need to restore, update, or get another Windows Phone, you'll have them made available to you again.

How can I back up the iPhoto library when iPhoto won't open and I can't simply copy the iPhoto library packet because "some of the data in the packet cannot be read from or written to"?

How can I back up the iPhoto library when iPhoto won't open and I can't simply copy the iPhoto library packet because "some of the data canny be read from or written to"?

Regarding not being able to open iPhoto. As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Were you able to create a new library?
If so then your current library is damaged and needs to be repaired.
Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Before doing anything else, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
iOS: How to back up
Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content such as music, videos, and photos synced to the device, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software available to assist you with this task.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud. See this article for information.

How can I retrieve all the CONTACTS that were deleted after the sync of iphone to Mac?

After I backed up my iphone onto my Mac computer I was asked If I wanted to save the photos from my phone. I said DELETE. Then I discovered my address and phone numbers (CONTACTS) went empty in the iphone. How can I reverse my DELETE and get these Contacts back to the iphone?

iCloud maintains a database of your contacts which it uses to keep all devices and computers connected to the same iCloud account in sync. If you ever wonder whether you've lost contacts because they do not appear on a device or mac/pc, you should log into iCloud.com using a computer's browser and go to the Contacts page. You should find your contacts there. If there but they do not appear on your device, see below for instructions. If they are not there, then for one reason or another, they have been deleted. See below for options if this is the case.
Getting contacts from iCloud to a device.
Your device/computer needs to be connected to the proper account in iCloud and have contacts set for syncing. Go to Settings>iCloud (for a device) or System Preferences>iCloud (for a mac - can't help you with a PC, but hopefully you'll know where to go). Be sure iCloud is turn on and that you have the right account. If you need to change the account, scroll to bottom of screen (device) and tap Delete Account. Find a similar button on a mac. This will not delete data from iCloud, it only disconnects the device/mac from the current account. Then enter ID/password for the correct account. Next, be sure Contacts is turned on. [If it has been turned on, try turning off and then back on. If still not working, disconnect from iCloud and connect again.] You should get your contacts back.
Contacts are gone from icloud.com.
Then they have been deleted. There are many reasons for this. One possibility is that someone else is using the same iCloud account (family member, etc.) and they deleted contacts, thinking they did want them on THEIR device. How to get them back? Unfortunately, an iCloud backup does not include any of the sync databases, like contacts, notes, calendars, reminders, etc. because the data is already stored in these databases. Your only hope for restoring the data is if you had that data on a computer (like a mac's Contacts, Calendars, etc.) and that data was backed up using whatever backup software you typically use (e.g. Time Machine on a mac). Just restore the data files back to the computer. Other than that, I'm afraid the data is gone.

I have plenty of duplicated contacts in I cloud. How can I delete all the contacts in the cloud and resynchronize

I synchronized my contacts from my PC to I cloud. Unfortunately the contacts from I pad and I phone were also synchronized which gives me plenty of duplicates. How do I delete all of my contacts in I cloud to resynchronze and have the contacts only once in the I cloud.
Thank you for your valuable information. I am sure I am not the only one.

I have two groups on the iphone that were automatically generated: icloud and "on my mac".
when I erased all contacts on the computer and synchronized it with the phone, it only synchronized the icloud contacts but no the ones on my phone under "on my mac". so how can I get them into the icloud group....
thx

HT4946 How can I restore just the contacts from a backup?

I had to restore my computer to factory settings as it would not download any new apps from iTunes. I now want to restore my contacts. I do not want to restore settings, etc. as these may have been the source of the problem.
I don't want to sync all my windows contacts, just the ones I had on the phone. I can't find a way of doing this Can you help?

You have to restore the entire backup. You can restore the backup, then back up your contacts using an app like My Contacts Backup. Then restore it as new again and use this backup to re-import the contacts to your phone.

I recently broke my laptop and had to replace it. How can I back up the things on my iPhone before attempting to sync it so that I do not lose everything?

It wouldn't be such a huge deal if all of my music was from iTunes but I've gotten it from several different places and I really don't want to lose all of it. I'm not very techy so any help that's explained very thoroughly would be appreciated. Also I don't want to lose my texts or anything else I have on my phone right now. I've tried clicking the backup to this computer option on iTunes but when I tried to add a movie that I purchased on my laptop to my phone and sync it, it said that my phone was synced with another computer and it would erase my phone first. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup to put everything on the new computer.

How can I back up my data in this situation?

I was using my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion normally and just fine, when suddenly every click of the mouse started to result in 5 minutes of the spinning color wheel. I tried restarting, and learned that my laptop can now take up to 60 minutes just to start up. I went into disk utility, and have found that I have a "hardware problem that cannot be repaired." My MacBook Pro is literally too slow to use, and I can't repair the disk. I NEED to back up my hard drive, but when I finally managed to open time machine to get a backup on an external harddrive, I spent 2 full days to get to 8GB/500GB then something happened and it reset. Backing up would take months at this rate, and I need to save my data before I can bring it in to AppleCare. Would AppleCare cover this? How can I save all my data? It's very important. Thanks in advance.

anonymous72819,
if the backing up part is extremely obvious, why didn’t you take those extremely obvious steps such as backing up more frequently, so that you would not be in your current situation?
What I’m talking about is that you had asked if AppleCare would cover “this”, viz backing up your data from a disk “that cannot be repaired”. With a damaged hard drive, the speed from which data can be extracted from it depends upon the particular damage to the drive. Alternative ways of backing up will take just as long as trying to use Time Machine to do so, since any backup method will use the same firmware commands in the disk to be able to read the disk’s contents. Resetting NVRAM will have no effect on reading a damaged disk.
No one is asking you to go without your laptop for months. You can quite easily remove your hard disk, provide it to a data recovery service to have them attempt data recovery, and install a replacement hard disk into your MacBook Pro to use your laptop in the interim. (AppleCare would take the damaged disk before installing a replacement disk, so that’s not an option if you wish to attempt data recovery on the damaged disk.)
I hope that you’ll learn the importance of making backups more frequently from this experience.
