Hello everyone,
When Mavericks came along, I had to use iCloud to backup my Contacts. Before
using Mountain Lion I was using iTunes to do this. Now though with the release
of Mavericks 10.9.3 and the latest iTunes version it is said that Apple has
restored this functionality.
My problem though now is that since I’ve been using iCloud for the past few
months and now I want to go back to using iTunes to backup my contacts I am
wondering how this is done?
I don’t want to go losing any contacts in the process.
I will admit though, that I do rather like the way contacts get updated
wirelessly between my Mac and iPhone which is a thing I’ll probably miss but
for me, I feel that iTunes for now, back ups more data than iCloud does at the
moment. I guess I feel more comfortable with my information being stored
locally on my computer than up in the cloud. At least for contacts at any rate.
Idealy, if at all possible, I’d like to know if I can use backing up contacts
both with iTunes and iCloud together and if I can do this, how this is done.
I have an iphone 5 running 7.1.1 and a late Mac Book Pro 2011 running Mavericks
10.9.3 and the latest version of iTunes.
I look forward to hearing from anyone who uses both methods and how you do it
without messing anything up in the process.
Thanks
Daniel************
