Find out how to make the best of backups of your contacts

As we have seen in the past, make a backup of our device is vital if we are even thinking about upgrading from your device or even delete it to start from scratch.

Methods for backing Apple offers us are quite clear and simple to follow: iCloud backup-which usually comes enabled by default after logging in to our account on a device IOSCO, and the copy through -option iTunes that allows us to store the copy in our computer-. But what if we decide to copy only the images and contacts?

For a copy of the images is sufficient to connect the iPod Touch, iPad or iPhone to your computer, wait for it to open iPhotos if it is Mac- or if the browser is Windows- files, and to import our computer . In the case of the contacts it is more complicated. Let 's see how to achieve our goal .

Getting our contacts vCard

A vCard is a standard format in charge of collecting all data from a contact in a single file . This file can be shared from one device to another-either to share our electronic business card, to pass all the contacts you have stored a new mobile- or simply stored on your computer-for someday phone if the need arises to bail them out .

What we will learn to look in this article is that vCard, in order to back up only the contacts and fully compatible with other devices .

1. The first thing to do is access from our personal computer www.icloud.com , the web where we have access to our personal cloud provided by the Cupertino company.
2. After logging in , we go into the option Contacts .
3. In the small nut found in the bottom left- that of the adjustments-, select Export vCard .

We will have at our disposal in the folder we chose to download the vCard file. To re-enter it on our device, simply share our terminal via AirDrop, email or any social network and run allowed. Another option is to re - enter the web iCloud, access back to the settings and select the option Import vCard .
