iPhone - Extract Address Book Contacts, Save SMS and iMessages

If you have lost your phone or if its damaged and you need your contacts from iPhone Backup, it is possible to read the needed information. But you need also the information if you have encrypted your backupfile. Some applications dont support encrypted iPhone Backupfiles. In this goal we want to extract only contacts. Therefore we install a programm so called "iPhone Backup Viewer".

How to sync the contacts without iCloud

To avoid to use the Apple iCloud you have to search for an own CardDav server. For example owncloud.
download the owncloud
and unzip the archive
owncloud.org
After that you have to do some adjustments with our mac and our iPhone.
Mac: Contacts -> Preferences (picture is attached)
iPhone: Preferences of your mail accounts (picture is attached)

After the setup it will be run automatically.

Transfer contacts from Nokia Phone (Symbian) to Google Phone (Android)

In the company I worked, I used Windows, Outllok and Nokia Phone N97mini. During that time I managed all my contacts at my company phone, which was used as private phone too. There is the standard tool from Nokia to synchronize contacts between Windows Outlook and the phone, called "PC Suite". In fact with PC suite there is much more possible, e.g. writing SMS messages on the PC (which is much more convinient). Unfortunately there is no such tool for the Android driven Google phone, so one cannot easily transfer the contacts stored in outlook to Android. Additionally my private computer runs with Linux, while the company computer is Windows driven. I want to transfer the contacts from my Nokia Phone to the Android-phone (Google Nexus).
