China, People's Republic of -- Free-Press-Release.com-- Feb 4, 2010 -- Getting contact, SMS messages off your old iPhone to the new one or backup them to PC may not be a straightforward process. Similarly, it's a bit more involved to recover iPhone contacts or messages from the backup files on PC.
If you already have your contacts stored neatly in Outlook (Windows), Address Book (Mac) or a Yahoo! Address Book (Mac/Windows), the process is as simple as syncing via iTunes.
Note: But if you use iTunes, something you should know as following:
1. With iTunes, every syncing will erase your contacts on the iPhone, and get the backuped contacts on PC into your iPhone. So what you restore from iTunes will be only the contacts of last syncing and the new ones on iPhone will be lost forever.
2. iTunes does not include feature that lets you transfer SMS messages from iPhone to computer. So to backup iPhone messages, you get to turn to other software.
How to backup iPhone messages to computer?
Since iTunes does not support to backup iPhone messages to computer, you can use some iPhone SMS transfer program such as Tansee iPhone Transfer SMS, which features export iPhone text messages to computer.
If you save messages as ANTS files, you can even set password to protect them on computer completely safe.
This program also provides you a chance to recover deleted text messages from your iPhone.
