Quick Way to Backup iPhone Data Without iTunes

Help! How to backup iPhone data WIHTOUT using iTunes backup?

As many of you have done, I have disabled the "backup" feature in iTunes because it takes a few hours each time the phone backs up since it's doing an image backup. I like to know if there is a simple app that will backup the contacts, messages, browser bookmarks, photo albums etc. on my iPhone? I don't use google/windows contacts, so I cannot use "sync" in iTunes to sync them (no where to sync). after a restore, I discovered that iTunes does NOT save any of these settings unless you have done a backup.
Please help!

The most inconvenient thing of using iTunes is that you can't selectively sync your data. iTunes always lets you do all or nothing. If you want to be the one who controls the whole content, you need a third-party tool indeed, and here is a great one: Wondershare Dr.Fone, which enables you to dierectly and selectively back up your iPhone data on computer in 3 steps, and you don't need other help at all. Besides, you can find your lost data back with it when you have a need.

Download the free trial version below to take a try. Do get the right one for your own iOS devices.

 

 

Backup iPhone data on your computer without iTunes

Notice: This software currently supports data backup of iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 1 and iPod Touch 4. Other iOS device users need to wait a while.

Step 1. Run the program and connect your iPhone

First of all, run Wondershare Dr.Fone on your computer and connect your iPhone with the digital cable. When your iPhone is detected, you'll get the interface as follow. Switch to the next step to continue.

Step 2. Enter the DFU mode and scan your iPhone

Now, you need to enter the DFU mode before getting data from your iPhone. How to enter? Here is the steps:

1. Hold your iPhone and click “Start” button.
2. Press “Power” and “Home” buttons on your iPhone at the same time for exact 10 seconds. The Software will count time for you.
3. When 10 seconds passed, release the “Power” button right away, but keep holding the “Home” button. After another 10 seconds, you’ll be informed that you’ve successfully entered the DFU mode and you can release the “Home” button now.

You may not enter successfully at the first time. It doesn't matter. Try it again until you can enter. After you succeed, the program will scan your iPhone for data automatically, including photos, videos, contacts, messages, call history, etc.

Step 3. Preview & back up iPhone data

After the scan, all found data on your iPhone will be listed in categories as follow. You can preview the detailed content one by one, then mark those you want to back up and click "Recover" button to save them on your computer.

Note: Data found in each category includes those deleted recently. You can check them by sliding the button at bottom, "Only display the deleted items" in the red area.
