How do i backup iphone 3g

how do i backup iphone 3g without iTune on a new Mac? iTunes wants to do an update before it can sync, but if i do that it will erase everything on it.

Don't do what xtremecarbon said.
Do you have access to your previous iTunes library, maybe in a computer backup?
If not, you'll need some 3rd party software to get your data off your iPhone... try TouchCopy.

    How do you backup IPhone Contact List to PC Computer(XP) ?

    The easiest way that I have found is to open Outlook, go back to Itunes & select your phone.
    Choose the 'Info' tab at the top of the screen & tick the box marked 'Sync contacts with' & choose Outlook from the drop down box.
    Image attached may explain better.

    Hello ryan tate
    You would not be able to access your complete library and only purchased content is to sign in and authorize your Apple ID. If this is a friends computer, the best way to do this is to create a new user to keep your data separate from their data.

  • Iphone and Ical on mac do not sync anymore. All my events are in the iphone calendar! How do I backup iphone calendar, and how do I fix the syncronizing problem?

    After getting iCloud the iCal on my mac does not sync with my iPhone calendar. All of my calendar notes are in my iPhone (while the mac's Ical remains empty) so I need to backup the iphone version. How?
    Itunes says that "your calendars are being syncronized with iphone using icloud" - but the mac's ical does not show any of the new events I have added on my iphone.
    I would like to install the new update on my iphone, but I am afraid to do it without knowing that I will be able to restore my iphone calendar. I have made calendar events for many years to come, I and will not risk losing them!
    I have been looking for tips online, but the solutions usually suggest that I backup the ical on the mac and start fresh using this version. In other words overwrite iphone calendar with the ical from the mac. Which is not an option. What can I do?

    Moments in Photos are the new Events, i.e. groupings of photos sorted by date taken.
    When the iPhoto Library was first migrated to Photos there was a folder created in the sidebar titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in that folder. To open the sidebar if it's not already open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
    There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
    When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N.  Name it as desired.  It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
    When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.
    The downside to the simulation is that the Albums/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title. But they can also be sorted manually, either in the sidebar or in the folder's window at the right.
    Ask Apple for more sorting options in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.

  • How can I backup iphone contacts/email/addresses and transfer them to PC ea

    Hey,guys!!!i have one quick question about my iphone contact backup ...
    I have an iphone that has all my contacts stored in it.... (phone numbers, email, addresses, etc...) and I recently
    bought an new computer, but I don't have any of this information stored in it.
    My question is, how can I sync my iphone with to my PC without erasing the info in the iphone. I don't want my system
    to think that since the PC is empty it should erase every contact in the iphone. I just want to transfer everything
    from iphone and have a copy on PC,especially the contacts.
    Appreciated your early reply.

    Maybe you should go Discussion-Apple to look for what is iTunes user directions about how to backup your iphone.
    Other than there are also a tool called Contacts Tool search iphone applications,and it will help u a lot if u want to transfer the contacts to computer.Like Out2003 or Outlook2007...
    Outlook 2003:
    1. In Outlook, choose Tools > Options.
    2. Click Other and then click Advanced Options.
    3. Select COM add-ins and select the iTunes sync add-in and click OK.
    4. Click Apply and then continue with the steps below.
    Outlook 2007:
    1. In Outlook, choose Tools > Trust Center.
    2. In the Categories pane, click Add-ins.
    3. In the Details pane, locate the iTunes add-in in the "Inactive Application Add-ins" list.
    4. In the Manage box, click COM Add-ins, and then click Go.
    5. In the COM Add-Ins dialog box, select the iTunes sync add-in.
    6. Click OK.
    Besides,if you are always frustrated the directions of iTunes and Outlook.I want to give your advice to try out other professional transfer contact software.As far as i concerned,you can download the [trail version|http://hotdownloads.com/trialware/download/Downloadtanseeiphonecontact_.exe?item=13181-12&affiliate=575053&sscoupon=SOFT-QSTG] of [Tansee iPhone Transfer Contact|http://www.softwarebbs.com/wiki/TanseeiPhone_TransferContact] for free,which can help you back up your iPhone contacts along with contact photos to computer as a file (either txt or antc).

  • HT4946 how do i backup iphone

    How do i transfer music from iphone 3 to iphone4

    Are you moving from the iPhone 3 to the iPhone 4?  If so you should both have the same Apple ID on both which will make this pretty easy.
    Start iTunes on your computer and connect your phone using the USB Sync / Dock cable.
    Your phone should appear in the left column.
    Right Click on the phone name and from the pop up menu select backup.
    This should transfer all your media to iTunes.
    Click the eject button next to your phone's name to get iTunes to release it.
    Connect your iPhone 4 to your computer.
    If this is the first time you are syncing your phone after it is set up as a new phone you will want to do a restore from your old phone.
    Right click on the phone name and select restore from the pop up menu and select the back up from your iPhone 3.
    This will wipe your iPhone 4 and install the content from your 3.
    If you have already set up your iPhone 4 you can simply add music to it the same way you did with your iPhone 3.  Either let iTunes copy your library onto your phone or set it up so you can manually manage your music,

  • Computer died..how to sync/backup iPhone 4 to another computer

    my computer that i had first synced my iPhone to has died. I need to sync and backup my phone because I actually need to go to Apple since my wake/sleep button has stopped responding. It is still under warranty so I'm guessing I'll either get it fixed or get a replacement. However, I do not want to go in there without having everything backed up. How do I sync/back up my phone to a new computer without it erasing anything?

    You don't. Iphone will sync itunes content and pics to one computer. When you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
    You need to move everything from your backup copy of your old computer to the new one. Then you can sync the iphone without losing anything, as all of the info will be transferred to the new computer.

  • HT201210 How do I backup iphone on a different hard drive?

    Hi!
    I want to update my iphone but I need to back it up before updating. Fine.  But it keeps backing up to my C drive and I don't have room for it.  My preference is set for a drive other than C.  So, I'm not sure why it keeps trying to backing up in C?  I need a back up for my back up?
    Thanks in advance,
    Lissa

    oh... that really *****... 
    My C drive is only has 5GB free, total 40GB.  It's a really old computer.  Anyways, everything is stored on an external hard drive.  I hope they'll change that someday. 
    Thanks for the info!

    I have synchronised them a hundred times but iTunes just doesn't backup my voice memos. And I haven't seen a playlist called "Voice Memos" on the left sidebar either...

    Look for Voice Memos under Genres in iTunes.
    With the phone connected, click on its name on the left. Then click on the Music tab on the right. Is "Include voice memos" checked?

  • I have an iPhone 4 now and I just got the iPhone 4s so how do I backup all my data from old phone to new?

    I have  the iPhone 4 and just upgraded to iPhone 4s how do I backup my data before I activate my iphone 4s? Please help!!

    iOS devices are designed to be sync'd with a single computer, so thinking of future updates, backups and so forth, yes, it would be best to do it on your computer - the one you normally use for iTunes.
    Note that backing up also does not backup everything in iTunes.  Contacts, for example, will be backed up into whatever contact management program you normally use on your computer (eg. outlook on a Windows PC, contacts on a Mac).
    If you have never backed up your iPhone, now is the opportune time to do so and learn how.  Not having a backup means if anything goes wrong with your phone (or you loose it or it is stolen), you risk losing everything on it.
