Ok I have an I5 newest firmware, but I’m having the issue where the “other” data is corrupt. Builds up to like 6-8GB of duplicated data. My restore point is also corrupt. So I need to be able to save my contacts in order to place them on the phone when I do a fresh reformat. All my contacts won’t save to Outlook or Gmail. Is there another tool that will save ALL my contacts? This is bugging the shit out of me. ---

You can pick which content you backup to the iCloud. Just contacts is an option. ---

Are you sure your phone isn’t pulling the contacts from Gmail and outlook? ---

Good luck, took me 4 hours to switch everything over the way I wanted it. iCloud duplicated all of my contacts and it was a mess because some were missing. I have my contacts backed up with gmail once a day now and have it turned off with iCloud. ---

I have my contacts backed up with gmail once a day now and have it turned off with iCloud. This is what happened to me. I didn’t realize what was happening. I had to merge my iCloud contacts with my Outlook and it finally has all of them, only kicker is now there are some duplicity going on… stupid phone. Took forever, Iphone’s suck.
