HI
I am about to do what I must have done sometimes ago, finally upgrade. But I need help to transfer my Contacts, SMS (I hope it is possible) and Notes. I understand that only compatible Apps can be transferred via iTunes backup.
I am Windows PC person (not MAC), at worst case scenario, I have a few old Mac Book Pro (my wife's), but this is only in the worst case scenario.
I am more or less Windows literate, so if I have to fish for .db files I would do it without hesitation. I have currently laptops and PCs with Win XP SP3, WIn7 Home, WIn 8.1 Home and WIn 10 Home, so if I have to use a specific OS for old iPhone backup and transfer - no problem (I actually have complete Iphone 3GS backup on WIn XP SP3 iTunes 10.4 and partial backup on WIN 8.1 with latest iTunes 12.5, I have no idea what is inside of those backups).
Forget to mention, IOS 4.3.3 doesn't have an iCloud, so this way of backup is not possible.
Also, I don't think that I can upgrade iTunes on WInXP to the latest one as there compatibility issues, correct me if I am wrong.
Any suggestions or ideas are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. If there are still some Contacts apps available, which are compatible with IOS 4.3.3, please share - easiest way at least for Contacts.
