Trying to import contacts to iPhone 3S from SIM but nothing happens qfter the 'Importing Contacts' sign appears. Others post the same issue but I can't find a fix that works,

Are you absolutely sure that the contacts were on the Sim ?  They may only have been saved in the previous phones memory.

  • IOS 6.1 Import SIM contacts not working

    Hi I just update my iphone 4s to iOS 6.1. Now I want to import new SIM card with some contacts. When I do "Import SIM Contacts", then it just blink an importing alert and gone. And nothing happen. No contacts in phone contacts.
    Why?

    Try resetting your phone:
    Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.
    Try now...if it still doesn't work, go to one of your carrier's stores & they'll be able to do this for you.

  • HT4994 what is import sim contacts option i don't want to loose contacts if sim is changed pls guide

    i need to know the option import sim contacts usage ,i do not want to loose any contact once i change the sim.

    Import sim contacts is you just import contacts which are present on your SIM. (Copy)
    You can anytime backup your contacts either to iCloud/Dropbox/Outlook in order to restore later.
    There is a nice app called as McBackup (Free) on iStore, which will back you contacts to your email accounts setup on your device.

    try to follow the step below the article you are following:
    To copy the photos to your computer using Windows Explorer:
    Connect the iOS device to the computer.
    Choose Start > Computer.
    Double-click the logo for the device to browse its camera folders.
    Navigate to [iOS device]\Internal Storage\DCIM\100APPLE.
    Manually copy the content in this folder to your computer, wherever you would like to store it.
    Disconnect your device. Open the Camera Roll and manually delete all the pictures from the iPhone Camera Roll that you just imported.

  • I cannot transfer my contacts from iPhone to mac?

    I cannot transfer my contacts and data from iphone to my macbook

    I'm having the same problem with iPhone 4 and MacBook Pro. I purposely separated my contacts on the phone from the Mac's address book, but am going to get a new iPhone 5 and I don't want to lose my phone contacts, so I wanted to be sure to sync to the Mac. Doesn't anyone have a solution?
    Thanks,

    import sim was flashing,could not delete messages,battery running down,overheating
      answer turned on data roaming briefly   took out sim card and replaced   seems to be working ok

    7. WLAN/VoIP/SIP auto-connect (last question ;-)
    there may be some other way but this is how i did it:
    on standby screen where WLAN informaion is, click and select disable "net phone" (or name of you VIOP setting).  Accordingly when you want to use an internet tel you select "eneble".

  • I cannot import .abbu contact back up into iCloud.

    I have lost my contacts.  Fortunately, I did back up the contacts through the Contact back-up program.  Now I only need to know how to import these contacts into my iCloud account.  I have two iCloud accounts, one for home, one for work.  If I try to import into my contact account into my home Contacts program, I get a message that all the existing contacts will be deleted.  Can someone help me?

    Ok.  The story is a little long.  I have three iCloud accounts.  One for 'home', one for 'work', and one for a 'new job' I recently started.
    I have all three files showing in my contacts application on my iMac.
    I wanted to import the .abbu back up from my 'work' contacts file into my 'new job' contacts file on my iMac.  When I tried to do this, a pop-up stated that it will delete all my contacts.  Since I had only one contact in my 'new job' account, I thought that would be alright.  Instead it deleted all the contacts in both the 'work' account and the 'new job' account leaving me with both those files empty.  My 'home' contacts file was left unchanged.  A funny thing happens when I try to import the file.  all of the contacts show, but after about three seconds, they all disappear again.  So they must be in the file.  I just can't get them to stay.
    There are about 3,000 contacts in my 'work' account and 275 in my 'home' account.  I am scared of loosing my 'home' account at this point.

  • "Import SIM Contacts" under settings-so how can you save to SIM card?

    Update took several hours and afterwards, contacts as well as internet bookmarks and map bookmarks are gone. However, the pictures under the camera icon remain. How is that? Are they on the SIM card? How come contacts didn't save to the SIM card? How can you save to the SIM card through itunes or the phone?
    Bueller?...Bueller?...Bueller?

    Apps you can re-download for free. SMS's are part of the iPhone backup, they would have to copy that folder to a thumb drive along with your photos, calendar & contact database. Your iPhone backup is located here:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Regarding your contacts & calendar, you'd have to first export them to the thumb drive, then copy to the proper location on the computer you intend to use. Same with your iphone backup & pics.

  • Import Blackberry contacts to iPhone

    Hi all!
    I'm making the exciting switch from my BlackBerry 8330 Curve to a shiny and pretty new iPhone 3G[s] and can't figure out the best way to import my Blackberry address book to my iPhone.
    I don't sync my blackberry to my Outlook (running Visa, don't hate me) and never have, I'm hoping there's an easier way than that as I'm afraid a lot will get lost in translation...
    Thanks!

    Disappointed that I got no help from this community. Maybe it had already been answered so I was ignored? I tried to use the search function but results for searching a variety of compbinations of the words "blackberry, export, addressbook" wasn't turning up much.
    Anyway, for anyone else who might be searching for the answer, I figured out that it's quite easy to synch your blackberry to your Outlook (if you haven't already), then sync your iPhone to your Outlook. It all transfers over well and without too much loss of data. The only thing it won't carry (and I'm not sure how many would care) is people's BB PIN numbers. Everything else was perfect. Even contact photos were transfered and placed properly.
    Cheers!

  • Cannot open sim drawer on iphone 6 to insert sim. why is this not easier?

    I have a new iphone and cannot open the drawer to insert the sim. there appears to be no explanation in any of the guides as to exactly how hard you have to insert the tool, am i supposed to be pressing something, hooking the tool onto something?  A picture of the tool and an open drawer is not very useful, if the drawer does not open. has anyone got any experience of inserting sims they can pass on??

    You need to press the tool into the hole fairly firmly and the drawer will spring open. You may not be pressing hard enough.
