How do I transfer contacts and photos from my IPhone 5 (version 7.1.2) to my computer (Windows 8.1)?

How do I transfer, move, back up, upload or whatever the correct terminology is, my contacts and photos from my IPhone 5 to my Windows computer?

You can transfer photos in several different ways:
via USB cord: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
via Photo Stream: iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
via a number of 3rd party apps such as http://www.photosync-app.com
You can transfer contacts via:
iCloud: https://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
iTunes sync: iTunes 11 for Windows: Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad
and there may also be 3rd party apps.
Note that you can also backup to iCloud or to a computer, but that is only designed to be used for a restore back to the phone and you won't see usable photos or contacts on the computer.

  • How do I transfer music and photos from my iPhone 4s to my iPad

    HHow do I transfer music and photos from my iPhone 4s to my ipad

    You cannot directly transfer anything from an iPhone to an iPad. If your iPad is signed onto the same Apple ID as your iPhone in Settings>iTunes & App Store, then it has access to the same Music library as your phone. Click on the More tab in the iTunes App on your iPad, and then on Purchased, Not on this iPad to see all of the music available to download to the iPad. You can also set the "Automatic Downloads" option to ON in Settings>iTunes & App Store and going forward, any music you purchase on the iPhone or via iTunes on a computer will automatically download to your iPad. Set the same setting on the iPhone to have it do the same.
    As for photos. If both the iPhone and iPad are signed onto the same iCloud ID in Settings>iCloud, then turn on Photo Stream on both the iPad and iPhone to share Photo Stream photos between the two devices. Photos on your Camera Roll that are no longer on Photo Stream, or photos in other Photo Albums would have to be sync'd to the iPad via iTunes on the computer you sync with (assuming you have imported your photos to that computer).
    Cheers,

  • How do I transfer my contacts and photos from my iPhone to my iPad?

    How do I transfer my contacts and photos from my iPhone to my iPad?

    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer, which is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Select the same under the Info tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync and the contacts in the supported address book application on your computer which are also available on your iPhone will be transferred to your iPad.
    Photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. After the photos are imported by your computer and placed in a designated folder or album on your computer, select this album or folder under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes along with any other photos on your computer that you want transferred to your iPad followed by a sync.

    I've tried to transfer my photos and contacts list from my iphone 3gs to my new ipad, and they're on the ipad but no longer on my phone. Does anyone know how I can get them back and have them on both devices please?

    Easiest is to:
    iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device
    Otherwise you will have to sync the new iPod's calendar and contacts to ones that have the old iPod's calendars and contacts.

    Using the same apple ID with both devices opens them up to share apps and data. There are some limits, for example some iPad apps are iPad only, they literally won't work on the iPhone due to the phone's limited resolution.

    How do you transfer my contacts an calender fro 5S iphone to my computer / PC.

    I would use an external hard drive. You know where you store your files. Usually, people places files in the documents, photos, music, movies, downloads, desktop folders. Copy them to your external drive and paste them to your MacBook Air.

  • How do I transfer info and applications from my iPhone 4s to a New iPad at setup?

    I am setting up a new iPad2 and wanted to transfer information and applications currently contatined on y iPhone 4s to the new iPad.  How do I  proceed?

    When you set up your iPad you will have a choice 'set up as new' or 'restore from back up of....'
    choose that and your iPad will be a clone of your iPhone. You can then add/delete apps. FOr example, some of your iPhone apps may not look pretty on the iPad's bigger screen.
    Another way is to just sync them to the same computer with the same Apple ID and then you  can choose info and apps to put on the iPad
