IPhone SMS,contacts and photo back up question?

1 Answer

Answer :

When you sync your iPhone it should do all of this automatically. If not, when your iPhone appears in the iTunes control bar click it and check the settings as it should always take a complete back up. I back mine up to a mac, and when I do it automatically launches iphoto to transfer any images on there. I’m pretty sure that gallery in windows does the same, although you may have to manually transfer them.
