How do I back up Contacts from iPhone to PC

Backing up your iPhone to your PC includes the phone's contacts. I don't remember the path (on a Mac) where the back files reside but you won't see your phone Contacts in your PC's Contacts folder. The path on a Mac is the the user Library (<user>/Library/Application Support/Mobile Sync/Backup). I don't know the PC path.

You need to sync your contacts if you want that to happen. Read here:

You're welcome.

I cannot think beyond the iCloud. There are also some third party applications like copytrans and iPhone contacts to computer transfer that does the job fine. Take a look at this guide: http://www.flash-video-soft.com/blog/?p=1304

Zzaeem, you can load mobile apps that bypass iTunes backup/restore contacts and really are free, not just free for a few contacts. There are several very adequate ones for less than $3.

You can extract your contacts from the iTunes backup when you lost your iPhone. iTunes can automatically back up iPhone contacts and update it every time when you sync it. So you really have a big chance to recover contacts from iTunes backup.

If you don't synced, you can directly scan and recover deleted contacts from your iPhone.

There is a great program called iPubsoft iPhone backup extractor, you can extract contacts, sms messages, videos, and pictures from the back up file.

If you do not want to sync with iTunes in order to transfer the contacts, you can copy your iPhone contacts to your Windows Contacts folder as per this procedure:

Exporting Contacts to Gmail

A quick and simple way to have a backup of your contacts on the web is to export them to Gmail. For that, you can use iTunes. Select "Info," "Sync Contacts With," “Google Contacts.” After you click “Configure,” add your Google username and password and click "Apply," your contacts are exported directly to your Gmail account.

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
