How do I back up my phone contacts without iTunes?

iTunes is telling me that it won't recongnise the content on my iPhone. It is telling me to restore. I have not backed up my contacts. Is there any way of doing this without using iTunes.
Is there any chance that iTunes did it on my last sync (3 days ago)? If so, how can I know?
Thanks a lot in advance

Hello all. I have found a solution.
I downloaded an app to my iPhone called "xport contacts". It allowed me to send my contacts to my pc. I then imported them into Outlook.
I highly recommend this.
Wjosten - it may be right that itunes has backed up my contacts anyway. But I was rather nervous since Apple does not guarantee that it has.
I will let you know.
Thanks all.
And for anyone new to this thread, with a similar problem: "xport contacts" is terrific.

How do I back up my iPhone 5s when iTunes doesn't recognize my phone?

I haven't backed up my iPhone 5s for a couple of months and I received a message that my data exceeds iCloud storage. The other day I connected my phone to my iMac and pulled up iTunes and a screen popped up asking me if this was a new phone! I'm afraid to proceed because I'm guessing I will lose all of my "Notes" and pictures that exceeded the storage limit on iCloud. Any suggestions as to how I can back up my phone and not lose information stored on my phone?
One more note, I haven't been able to update to the lates IOS version 7.1 because it needs 2.5GB of storage and I want to back up before I make space available.
Thank you so much!!

DEVICE NOT RECOGNISED IN ITUNES
If you have connected your device to your computer and it does not appear in the side bar in iTunes then for Windows computers read http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 or if you have a MAC then readhttp://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591 for troubleshooting steps.
try also
RESET DEVICE
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

How do I back up my phone settings when doing a restore

How do I back up my phone settings when doing a restore? Or do I need to ?

This article explains how to back up your phone, then restore the backup to your new phone to transfer your data and settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109.
You can use the same sim card if it's the same carrier and a compatible size. You would need to contact your carrier to have the service transferred to the new phone.

How do I back up my restored iPhone to iTunes, without it reloading old content?

How do I back up my restored iPhone to iTunes, while setting it up as new, without having it reload all my old apps? I tried once, setting it up as a new iphone, and it reloaded all my old apps anyway. I then restored the phone AGAIN, and haven't plugged it into my computer for fear of it doing it again. I want to start over new and back up the "new" phone with my new apps, and sync my old photos, but I do not want to sync old apps.

Can you back up two phones on one itunes account?

I have just purchased an iPhone5s and want to transfer all of my information from my iPhone4s onto it. I was told that this could be done by first backing up my phone using itunes. Sounded simple.
Now i am having great difficulties!
My wife nacked up her phone earlier this year. Every time i go to back up my phone (turning on itunes and then plugging my phone in via usb) it comes up with two options - set up as a new iphone OR restore from my wife's phone.
I am really unsure what to do here. I fear losing all the data on my phone.
Is it possible for the one itunes account to back-up two phones?
Please help.
Thank you in advance.

Select setup as "New", the next screen should prompt you to rename your phone. Just name it what you already have it named. After that, you should be able to sync/backup and all of your data & settings will still be exactly as you've already set them up on your phone. That message is more threatening than what really happens.

How to get back music lost while syncing to itunes?

how to get back music lost while syncing to itunes?

If the music you lost during the sync process is no longer on the iPod, in your iTunes library, or in a backup elsewhere, I'm afraid you are out of luck.
You may be able to redownload any lost purchases via iCloud (pending you live in a country where iCloud has gone live).

I backed up my phone yesterday on iTunes as I normally do and as I do not have enough memory I had to delete my photos to update the software. If I backup in a month will that override my last update on iTunes and will I lose my photos.

you can change the sync settings in itunes. plug your phone into the computer, select the device in the side bar (it should have an iphone icon next to it), then select the tab for photos to modify the settings for what will and will not be synced.

I plugged my phone to my computer and accidentally pressed "don't trust" now I don't know how to put songs on my phone from my iTunes ): what do I do?

I'm having the same problem... So far doesn't seem to be any fix for it.
People will try and tell you "Apple say just reconnect the device" but if that was the case, well... we wouldn't be here would we lol.

HT201342 How do I back up my phone to icloud so it may downloadto my new phone?

How doback up my old iphone4 to my icloud account so it will downloadto my new iphone5c?

Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, turn iCloud Backup on, then either tap Back Up Now to back up right away, or connect it to wifi and your chager, lock the screen and leave it to back up automatically.
BTW, if you're in a hurry it's much faster to back up to your computer using iTunes rather than to iCoud. If you aren't currently backing up to iCloud, just sync with iTunes to create a backup. (If you are backing up to iCloud, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clidk Back Up Now. Then go to File>Devices Transfer Purchases.) Then, when setting up the new phone, when given the option choose Restore to iTunes Backup and restore that backup you just made to your new phone.

My iphone 4s is importing contact information from FB and my email account. When I pull up my contacts it only shows e-mail information and the phone numbers have disappeared. How do I get my old contact list back with the phone numbers?

My iphone 4s is importing contact information from FB and my e-mail account. When I try to look at my contact list it is showing everyone I have on those lists and it only shows their email addresses. The phone numbers for my contacts have disappeared and I don't know how to get them back.

Hi macmac57. I don't memorize my numbers anymore, so I know how important it is to have all your contacts on your phone at all times. Did an update occur or a new application download when your contacts disappeared? Have you been backing up your device with your computer? You can try to restore your contacts from your last backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Are you syncing your iPhone between multiple computers? This can sometimes create issues with your contacts. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1474
If you were already using iCloud to back up your contacts, check out http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998 for some great tips from Apple.
I do hope this has been helpful for you to restore your contacts.

How do I get my information back on my phone after updating itunes

how do I get my information back on my phone after updating I Tunes. I up dated it this morning and when it was complete, all my contacts and my pics and my screen savers and sounds were from my daughters phone. I can not locate any of my information on my phone?

All iTunes content they you have selected to be transferred to your existing iPhone - music/video/podcasts including 3rd party apps remain in your iTunes library on your computer. Photos transferred to your existing iPhone via the iTunes sync process also remain on your computer.
If you are syncing contact info and calendar events with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac, this data also remains on your computer.
You can sync multiple iPods and/or iPhones with the same iTunes library and iTunes account with each device having its own sync settings.
When you connect a new iPhone to iTunes on your computer, you will be prompted to transfer the backup for another iPhone that has been synced with iTunes. After the backup for your existing iPhone is transferred to your new iPhone, this must be followed by a sync to transfer your selected iTunes content including 3rd party apps and any photos on your computer selected to be transferred to your iPhone. You select sync contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal under the Info tab for your new iPhone sync preferences and this data will be transferred to your new iPhone.
