  • How do you back up your contacts if you don't have a Mac?

    I use to have a windows mobile phone and there were 2 different apps: Dashwire and MyPhone. Both of them would back up your phone for you and it you ever had to reset your phone, you could just restore your contacts and stuff from either one of those websites. How can I back up my contacts with the iPhone 4?
    Thanks for any help.

    Outlook, yahoo, google, etc. are all programs that are compatible with iphone.
    You haven't looked at the manual have you?
    Page 58:
    "Contacts
    Sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo! Address Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Contacts, Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), Windows Contacts (Vista and Windows 7), or Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with one application at a time.)"

  • How do I back up my contacts from my iPhone to iTunes

    My mobile phone carrier (optus) is preparing us for the delivery of the IPhone 4, and to get ready they are changing us from our old SIM card to a new "MicroSIM". I am confused with step 1...
    Step 1. Connect your current iPhone to iTunes to back up your contacts as you will need to move them from your old SIM to the new SIM (which I have ready to go)....How do i do this? Am i just syncing my contacts with my yahoo address book. This doesn't seem right.
    the other steps I think I'm okay with...
    2. swap the SIM over, and follow some steps with my phone carrier
    3. sync iPhone to Itunes again to restore contacts
    4. SIM swap is complete, and this new "microSIM" is ready to go when the new iPhone 4 is delivered.
    Your help is appreciated with Step 1.....thanks

    thanks for your reply, but Im still a little confused.
    I do currently have an iPhone 3G, and they want me to use theis new SIM card until delivery of my new iPhone 4.
    So, the contacts that i currently have in my phone are different to my contacts in my yahoo account. My yahoo account basically just has all email addresses and that's it.
    So, do I have to update my yahoo contact list first, then "sync"? Does this then mean I've backed them up also?
    Or, when I sync, will it take my contacts from my phone into iTunes and my yahoo account??

  • 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 my contacts and apps to Windows 7 if my iPhone has been previously sync'd to a Mac?

    I have always used my iBook G4 to sync and backup my iPhone 3GS, until the screen went wrong on my Mac.
    I managed to salvage the songs off the mac by turning it into a mass storage device (holding T on startup), and I'm currnetly using a Windows 7 laptop whilst saving up for a new Mac.
    I'm trying to back up all my contacts and apps to iTunes but as it was initially sync'd to a mac, it is saying that all my apps, contacts etc etc will be lost!
    Is there any way to download my apps and contacts (all contents of my iPhone really) to iTunes on Windows if it was originally run via a Mac?
    I'm due for an upgrade to the iPhone 4 on Friday and I'd like to get all my stuff backed up before then please!
    Can anyone help?

    Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise your phone will be wiped during the following sync.
    Then back up manually:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to the new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
    Transfer the purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

    Saving contacts on our SIM card is in my view is a good idea because ..Copying contact list from your device to a Sim Card is a lengthy process and SIM contacts will ONLY contain one phone number per contact entry. Our BlackBerry  Address Book will have a different arrangement with one Contact Name and several fields of information (Cell phone, Work Phone, Home Phone, email address, etc.) if you want to do it that way than you had to do one by one , so the best option will be to sync with your BB Desktop Software ,Have a look at this article reaging backup , I'm sure it will help you a lot for any future courses How To Backup Your BlackBerry
