I have notised that i cant connect kies anymore mind is there an alternate way to restore contacts or move my backup onto my gmail account ?

As i side note i have installed the MTP.apk but it just stays on connecting in Kies

Have you tried Updating Kies? Ive only just updated my Firmware. When I tried to use Kies it wouldnt work also. I have a look around and did an update. Then I clicked the Auto update.

Maybe it has something to do with the firmware on your phone not been recognised by Kies. On the other hand if this is the case and your using Darkys then Kies may not be geared up for that?

Export your contacts as a .vcf file and copy to the PC desktop. (Contacts > Menu > Import/EXport > Export to SD Card.)
On PC log on to GMail and import the .vcf file.
You can then organise your contacts easily and then synch back to your SGS. Menu > Settings > Accounts & Sync > Select Gmail account > Sync contacts.

thankyou tuff toad for everyone else to change spb to a vcf file format

1. open Kies
2. open your last saved *.spb file
3. save the file again as *. vsf manually in the file name area
4. go to were normally saved spb files ( C:\Users\ _\Documents\samsung\Kies\PIMS)
5. you will find all the contacts saved as vsf file.
6. select all contacts and copy them in a directory (ontacts)
7. connect your samsong to the pc and copy the directory (cotacts) in to the sd card
8. disconect your samsong
9. select the contact icon
10. from the left key press and select import contact from sd
