How to backup iPhone to computer without iTunes?
----I want to save messages and contacts from my iPhone to computer, but I don’t know
what iTunes would save
from my iPhone, so anyone could tell me how to save my iPhone without iTunes?
- Question from a Apple User
iPhone could carry a lot of important data from you. Think if you got a new iPhone without
any content from the previous one, how confused you could be to start to use it. As a
result, you would find that you could not live without the old iPhone. Losing some photos
for unexpectedly deleting apps would surprise you (in an unexpected way). You should take
precautions for that bad situation, especially when you are going to upgrade iOS or
jailbreak iPhone.
iTunes is a famous tool. You could find it very powerful to get music and videos, but it
could also leave you puzzled when you backup iPhone with it. It could just do one thing,
saving most data it thinks necessary but you might not think so. If you want to save just
photos or contacts, you would still have to make a full backup of iPhone and it would be
hard to view photos in iTunes
backup.
