How do I back up Contacts from iPhone to PC

I am under the impression (perhaps mistaken) that the Contacts on my iPhone can be backed up onto my Windows 7 Home Premium PC so as to appear in the Contacts Folder.
How do I do this?
I have tried going through the procedure of launching iTunes (11.1.0.126) connecting my iPhone 4 (iOS 7.0.2) clicking the iPhone button and in the window that opens below selecting back up to this computer. That ran through apparently OK, but the Contacts from my iPhone were not transferred to the Contacts Folder on my PC.
Can this be done?
If so how?
I have backed up to iCloud but also would like to back up my Contacts to my PC.

If she uses a computer to log into her iCloud account, she can export her contacts as a vCard file, which can then be imported into your iCloud account (when logged into iCloud via a computer, click on Contacts then look for the "gear" at the lower-left corner).  She can also do a similar thing from her GMail account, but if you want to import to your iCloud make sure she exports as vCard since that's all iCloud can read.
There are also apps that export your contacts in a variety of formats and I think it then sends the exported file as an e-mail attachment.  That might be the easiest process, assuming that you both have the same app or at least compatible apps that can export/import the same file type.
Another solution is try extracta contats from your iPhone backp, just backp your iPhone to iTunes, then extact contacts, messages from your iPhone to computer, this is the article: How to extract iPhone data from iTunes backup file

    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.

    When connection your iPhone to iTunes, go to the "info"-tab (I think it's called), and check the box "Sync contacts from Address Book". This should do the job.

  • How can i copy my contacts from iphone 5 to my ipad air2

    I'M having troubles transfering my contacts from my iphone to my ipad so that facetime and i messages work perfectly
    any advices of how to transfer my contacts from iphone 5 to ipad air 2?

    An alternate way to transfer contacts (if the contacts you need are already on an existing device) is to use one of many apps (both free and paid are available) from the App Store. Note that you'll need to setup the same email account, accessible by/on both devices.
    Search the App Store for an app called My Contacts Backup (free, and available in the US App Store, I don't know about other countries)...it's the one that I personally use for backing up my contacts both online and offline as well as archiving them on my Mac/PC). Install the app on both devices. Run the app on the iPad 2 and have it backup your contacts. It will compile them into a vCard format and allow you to email the file to yourself. On the iPhone 5s, access the email that you sent the vCard file to, find the message and tap on the vCard attachment. Follow the directions and your contacts will now be transferred to the iPhone.
    You can simply reverse the procedure to copy in the other direction.
    An advantage of this method is that you will have a hardcopy vCard file in your email that you can then download & archive/store anywhere, not just in some unknown location somewhere in the cloud. When you want to restore your contacts anytime in the future, email the file as an attachment to yourself, access that email from your iDevice, click on the attachment and follow the directions to import the contacts.

  • HT4946 Backing up contacts from iPhone

    What's the best way to backup contacts from iPhone? When I back up my phone on iTunes, does it backup my contacts too?
    Last time I tried to backup with address book, it completely deleted all my contacts !
    Can anyone please help ?
    Thanks!

    Hi head-hurtz!
    If your contacts are stored on iCloud, you can export them in vCard format directly from the iCloud website to achieve this goal:

  • How do i sync my contacts from iPhone 4s to my mac?

    I am trying to sync from contacts from iPhone 4S to my mac.  I thought it would all work with iCloud, but it doesn't.   Can someone help me please?  thanks

    Using iTunes, back up your iPhone 3G by rightclicking the name of your iPhone that appears in the "devices" tab on iTunes when you have plugges it into the computer. Once the back up has been completed, plug in your iPhone 4S and select "restore from backup". All of your files on your iPhone 3G should be successfully transfered to your iPhone 4S.

    I downloaded iPhone 2.0 and then synced my phone. Somehow, all the information in AddressBook on my computer is gone. Luckily, it still exists on my iPhone. How do I put the information from my iPhone back onto the computer?

    Using iCloud your contacts are back upped in iCloud no need to worry. I think you can use third party iOS transfer programs to export it also.

  • How to sync back my contacts from iPad and iMac to iPhone and MacBook

    All my contacts on my macbook and my iPhone got erased but I still have them all of them on my iMac and iPad so I am wondering how to sync them all back to all my devices???
    Can someone help me?
    Best,
    Oscar

    You should be able to copy/move the contacts from your iMac to your MacBook using the migration assistant. It is under Utilities in the Application folder. One they are on both our your computer, just syncing your iPhone and iPad to its respective computer will keep them in sync. I myself also sync my contacts with my Gmail contacts. Doing so will keep your two computer synchronized too.

    You will need to reset your old Apple ID password via the steps in the first article below to transfer your purchases from your old Apple ID to your Mac.  If you do not have access to the email account or are not receiving the password reset link, see the second article.

  • How can I get my contacts from iPhone ios5 to my mac osx10.6

    I recently upgraded my late model 2006 iMac to OS Lion. I also updated my iPhone to IOS5.
    Lion is not really configured to work seamlessly with an older mac, so I reverted back to OSX 10.6.
    This means I've lost all contacts in my address book.
    Is there a way of retrieving contacts from my iPhone IOS5 so I can add them back onto my mac?
    This is so frustrating and until I can afford a new mac, I need to find a way of getting my contacts back.
    At the moment I don't want to synch my phone with my mac for fear of losing content on my phone.

    It might take a bit longer, but it's risk free:
    Use your iMac to send your contacts in an email to yourself
    Open them using your iphone.
    They should arrive as vcf format and you click to open it and hey presto!
    Also works the other way round, so when I receive an email from a new contact, I register it on my iphone and click on "share contact", sending it to me which I then open on my Powerbook.
    Helpful?
