Mario,
Thank you, but this not working for me as when I go for Sync Contacts with Outlook (this being the only option) I get an alert message saying that all the current contacts on the phone will be replaced with the ones from Outlook. My outlook is empty, no contacts at all. What if I lose all my over 600 contacts?
I have an old iOS and I'm affraid if I upgrade to iOS5 I might lose all that I have on the phone, like books, messages, contacts, apps etc. What is the safest way to go Mario?
Best wishes,
Claudia
Hi, you have to admit that you can't use iTunes to transfer everything from your iPhone 3GS to your PC, right? a better solution should be backing up your iPhone 3GS to iCloud or computer via iTunes. After upgrading your iPhone, whenever you need the data, you can restore your iPhone with the backup file and everything is there.😁 And there is another option to copy files from your iPhone 3GS to your PC, that's using Dr.Fone to scan your iPhone 3GS for the files. However, some kind of data can only be saved to your computer and can't be copied to your iPhone again.
Some options
1. Back them up to iCloud and then they will accessible from any device with an internet connection
2. Use an app like contact clean to make a copy to email yourself and you can import that on another device
