You can backup music and applications on your Windows computer but you cannot store your contacts and messages over iTunes, for that you have to use iCloud, you can even store apps and other data over iCloud too.
How do I make a full backup to my Windows 7 computer? Can this be done through iTunes?
My thanks.....Miki
