Transfer contacts in iPhone to computer - iPhone 3G

gcaraway · 07-09-2008, 05:31 AM

Hello,
I do not use Yahoo!Address Book, or Outlook express, so I typed all my contacts into my iphone manually..I am afraid I will lose the contacts so I need to back them up on my computer somehow. How would I go about doing this? Some people told me to sync with outlook express, however I am concerned that outlook would overwrite all my contacts and leave me with nothing.

Thank you for your help.

Well you could always back them up in iTunes, that way if something ever happens to your phone, and need to restore, or you get the new iPhone, you will have all your info in iTunes. Unfortunately you can not use this info without syncing it back to your iPhone.
