Backing up Contacts from Samsung Galaxy S4 to Macbook Pro Retina

Hi,
I'm going to change samsung phones and I need to back up my contacts. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and a Macbook Pro Retina, Late 2013, with Mavericks. When I try to back up the contacts through bluetooth the phones pair up but connection is can never be established. I can't even browse the device. So I downloaded Android File Transfer and I can back up pictures, documents, and music, but I don't see where to back up contacts so i can upload them to the next samsung I will have.
Please Let me know. Thanks

Dunno if you helps you, but you do need some sort of Android File transfer application. go to www.android.com/filetransfer to get that tool/ You may also need Samsung Kies. (www.samsung.com/us/kies) which should get you somewheres. I don't know if you can use Bluetooth on your MacBook to do that kind of thing. I think it's for mice, keyboards, maybe headphones, but file transfer? not too sure about that. I used to have this old flip phone that used to work with Bluetooth, but that was a long time ago and doesn't really apply here.  Oh, and you know this forum is for Mac Pro's (the desktop Mac), right?

    Contacts sync via iCloud.
    Set up iCloud on your iPad and your MBP, with the same iCloud account on both, with the same Apple ID.
    On the Mac you set this up with System Preferences > iCloud, and have Contacts checked in the box on the right.
    It looks very much the same on the iPad, Settings > iCloud.
    If you have set this up and it's still not working, then sign out of and then back into your iCloud accounts.

    How do i sync my contacts from my iPhone with my macbook pro for messaging purposes?

    Hey dthompson2108, 
    Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities. 
    You can sync contacts between your iPhone and MacBook Pro using iCloud or iTunes.
    See this link for help with setting up iCloud on your computer and device(s):
    Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
    Instead of turning on iCloud on your iPhone and Mac, you can sync using iTunes as explained in this article:

    All the best,

  • How can I connect my svideo output from my camcorder to my Macbook pro retina?

    How cn I connect the s video output from my camcorder to my 13" macbook pro retina?

    Buy a video to USB converter.
    Buy a more expensive video to Firewire converter (it may give better quality).
    Find an older mini DV camera with 'video in' to make transfers to tape to capture from.

  • What is the best method for a quick disconnect from time capsule on a Macbook Pro Retina?

    Just bought a Macbook Pro Retina and want to attach Time Capsule portable disk. Do I need to go to Finder everytime I want to take my notebook and eject the harddrive?

    Quote from Bob Timmons:
    "Normally, the TC icon will mount on the desktop during a backup and un-mount at the conclusion of the backup. If the TC icon still happens to be on the deskop, then you would want to right-click on the icon and choose Eject, or simply drag the icon to the Trash to do the same thing."

  • How do I copy contacts from samsung galaxy tablet to my new ipad mini

    I have just bought the new Apple Ipad mini, and I want to transfer all my contacts from my samsung galaxy tab to the new ipad.  Could you please explain how I can do this, as there is nothing in the instructions.
    thanking you in anticipation

    I don't think you can do it directly. You need to get them from your galaxy to a third device then to your iPad. Depending on how many contacts you have you can mail them from your galaxy, open that mail on your iPad and save it from there.
    You can export them from your galaxy to a comptuer then get that file into your iPad (I don't have a galaxy so i'm unfamiliar with how you get them off the galaxy)

  • Back up contacts from Samsung Reality to Droid 2X

    I went on backup assistant and kept getting Flash errors. I have a Samsung Reality and I am upgrading to a Droid 2x in the next day or so. I wanted to back up my contacts but the FAQ on that subject don't seem to apply to me or the SR - (downloading the BA software). I went through all the steps but when it came to download or purchase the app, the Flash allow dialog pop up froze. Tried it three times. 
    I have a good data plan with the SR - so can I back up contacts or will I have to manually re-enter in the Droid?

    Nevermind! I figured it out!

  • HT1338 I cannot copy my contacts from my iPhone onto my Macbook Pro.

    I am trying to copy my contacts from my iPhone 4S onto my MacBook Pro.  I am running Lion OS 10.7.4, and have tried to accomplish the transfer with both iCloud and iTunes, but neither has worked.
    Any help gratefully received.

    Check the website at iCloud.com. Are the contacts there. If so, then the contacts are syncing from the iPhone.
    Uncheck contacts on the MacBook, then recheck the box and see if they appear.
    In AB, go to the accounts page and make sure the iCloud account appears there.
    If they are not at the website, then do the same to the iPhone.
    Make sure both devices are logged in iCloud with the same Apple ID.
    Also, if contacts are appearing at the website, choose delete from the devices when unchecking contacts or signing out of iCloud. They will appear on the devices when you sign back in.
    If they are not at the website, be sure to select to keep the contacts local on the device so you don't lose them. They should sync to the website and other device when you sign back in.
    If this doesn't help, are the contacts synced to the website, or just located on the iPhone.

  • Can I use Migration Assistant as a tool to move my iphoto library back and forth from my imac to my MacBook Pro?

    I purchased a macbook pro so I can work on my iphoto projects when out of the house. Instead of buying an external and having my iphoto library on that, would I be able to use Migration Assistant to update the iphoto library from macbook pro to imac and imac to macbook pro -- depending on which machine i am using at the time?

    Do this:
    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

  • Transferring data from crashed pc to new MacBook Pro Retina

    I am trying to transfer data from back-up discs from my old pc to my new MacBook Pro.  I have a USB superdrive and have inserted the first backup disc but the Macbook does not seem to be responding.  I am trying Migration Assistant but it is stuck on the 'Looking for source' screen.  Does Migration Assistant work for a pc backup disc?  If not, how should I go about transferring the data without having to do it file by file?  I also have the pc backed up on Carbonite but they will only transfer the data to a new pc and not to a mac.  Help!

    Hi nickih64,
    When using the Migration Assistant to move data over, there has to be a computer that has be working as Windows version of Migration Assistant needs to be installed and running to make the connection. You would need to have that working or from your back up disks, drag and drop over the information that you want on your MacBook Pro.

  • Samsung 4K Tv and MacBook Pro Retina 15" Late2013

    Hello there, i have:
    This MacBook Pro: http://store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/macbook-pro?product=MGXC2LL/A&step=config
    This Samsung 4K TV :http://www.samsung.com/it/consumer/tv-audio-video/smart-tv/smart-tv-uhd/UE40HU69 00DXZT
    I tried to connect the MacBook to the TV using the HDMI port and I found a very slow and little fluidity on the Samsung screen.
    I think the problem depends on the refresh rate that is 30Hz.
    My question is: Is there a way or a resolution that will allow me to view the video on the 60Hz???
    Thanks for the answers.
    Michele.

  • Problem Scanning from Samsung SCX-4623FN, using MacBook Pro with OS X 10.10.3 and Acrobat Pro 11.0.10

    My Problems:
    1. Scannersoftware stopps at the end of Scanning, showing the preview but not finishing the scan.
    Only thing to choose: close the program and try again. Same result.
    I can't change to "Scan from ADF".
    2. The SCX-4623FN is able to scan both sides automatically from ADF, but the button to select "scan both sides" is grey and not able to activate.
    3. I don't find other software offered by Samsung, Apple or Adobe for scanning.
    Mostly I need to scan black-white-Text, OCR, 600 dpi, small file-size.
    I don't know what to do. Anyone some Ideas?
    Thanks in forward.
    Greetings.

    Hi,
    1. To change the scan mode to ADF, you can change it on MAC under the Scan-Modus dropdown in ICA Window (Second window in snapshot)
    2. I think you are able to scan both sides automatically using Samsung SCX scanner as the scanner is a duplex scanner. Currently Acrobat automatically scans only front side for simplex scanner and scans both sides for duplex scanner and the option for scan sides is disabled for ICA
    In case your scanner stops scanning in flatbed mode, please try to scan with the system scanner to see if it is not due to scanning at a very high DPI
    I think this solves your problems.

  • HT1338 How do I transfer my contacts from my IPhone to my MacBook Pro?

    I have tryed to transfer them through my itunes, but it seems I can only transfer outlook contacts? Any one else confused about this? Please, anyone help me!!?!?!?!?
    Thanks!

    I just need to know which way you are syncing. If using iCloud, you don't need to sync through iTunes.
    In the info section of the device in iTunes, you have the Contacts checkbox selected, correct?
    Why do you say only Outlook contacts? What happens with the contacts selected and you Sync?

    Thunderbolt expansion docks are beginning to appear.  "They ain't cheap."   This one would support what you want to do ... Belkin Express Dock  (using both Thunderbolt ports on your MBP)
    Thunderbolt devices can be daisy-chained however I don't believe that means it will support 2 displays on the same chain.
    miniDisplayPort and Thunderbolt are co-compatible.   You can plug a miniDisplayPort cable into the Thunderbolt port in order to connect a display.
    DVI and HDMI are co-compatible.  You should only need an appropriate cable to connect the display to the MBP's HDMI port.
