HT5887 Air Drop does not transmit Contact info located in the Notes Section of the Contact.  How does one transfer All Fields of a contact record?

Transferred a Contact from my iPhone 5S/ios7 to my iPad Air.  Successfully transferred the Contact including all ph numbers, email addresses, and street addresses.   But -- it did NOT transfer all the text in the "Notes" section of the original Contact.  Why?   Some of my Contacts also have a photo in the same Notes Section.  I don't want to sync the devices via the cloud because I just want selected Contacts.  Sharing via email does the same thing - no Notes.  Only way I've found is to Sync with Outlook Contacts on my Windows XP and Windows7 PCs.

So far it appears Microsoft's Outlook program is the only contact manager capable of "Forwarding" a Contact record that is all inclusive of all the data in the Contact including the Notes data.
While some may use the Notes field to store "secret or confidential" information...I've used it to store more mundane Notes that are not NOT confidential or sensitive in any way.  Moreover....only want to "Share" (Microsoft calls it "Forward") with my own multiple devices.  The "Notes" data might include a picture, another type of image, a map, a URL, etc.  I and the rest of the MS Windows user world began building Contacts in Outlook so long ago it is not practical to switch to iOS-based personal info management software unless it allows complete conversions or "Sharing" as Apple calls it.
Microsoft figured this out years ago by allowing the user to choose whether to include Notes or not when "Forwarding" any individual Outlook Contact Record.  It sounds like we need Microsoft Outlook for iOS like we have MS Outlook for MAC.  With thousands of Contacts in MS Outlook 2010 I can't do without the Notes data in my files.  And it isn't practical to use a syncing function when I only need 10-20% of my overall contacts on some of my iOS devices.

  • How do I transfer all my music, apps contacts etc for my iPad and iPhone to my new laptop from a desktop?

    I can't update the software on my desktop because it's too old and no stores seem to have the "bridge" disc I need to upgrade my current system. So, I need to transfer my synch abilities for my iPad and iPhone from my desktop to my newer, more up-to-date laptop. What is the best way to do this? I have the apple base station also.

  • HT1386 I just loaded the latest version of itunes and now my Outlook notes won't sync and notes no longer appears in the advanced section of the info page

    I just loaded the latest version of itunes and now I cannot sync my notes from Outlook 2010 to my iphone.  Notes no longer appears under the advanced section of the info tab.  Since I have not had luck syncing in the cloud I always check the boxes and tell the sync to sync from my computer to my phone.  Does anyone know how to get this to work.

    When you connect your ipod up to the computer. It should show the device, usually with the name of the device, in my case 'jordan's ipod'. This should be on the row which shows 'songs', 'albums' e.t.c on the far right. There when you click on it it should go to a different screen showing a picture of your ipod along with two buttons - Update and Restore. Click update and it should take a 2 mins while your ipod is updated to the latest version of Ios.
    After updating te ipod see if there is a change in results.
    PS: make sure the device is active while syncing so keep tapping the screen.
    Sorry for any incorrect info, i have an ipod touch, but i've had experience with an ipod

    The Local section of the Yahoo front page is stuck on New York as the default, and I'm unable to change it to my city using the normal procedure. IE does not have this problem. This is a new problem that has occurred with the latest version of Firefox. Since the same problem doesn't occur with IE, I've concluded that this is a Firefox issue and not a Yahoo issue. Please advise.

  • Project Server - Projects does not show up in the detail section of the resource availability view!!!

    Hi,
    I click resource center in PWA 2010 and select a resource; then click resource assignments and a list of projects along with the task which the selected resource is assign is listed. I then click on resource availability and set the date
    option and units for the selected resource and the resource availability and capacity is visible in the details section but not the list of projects that the resource is assign.
    How can I get the list of projects to show up in the details section under the resource name?   
    A. Williams

    Hi A. Williams,
    Could you post a screenshot of BOTH upper (graph) and lower (detailed grid) parts of our resource availability page?
    It would be very weird that you can see workload in the upper part but not in the detailed grid. This is what we need to know to help you:
    Are you not seeing at all the assignments in both graph and detail grid of the resource availability page? In this case the issue comes from your assignment, not from the resource availability page.
    Are you seeing the assignment in the graph but not in the detail grid?
    In case this is an assignment issue, some reasons could be:
    you're not looking at the right period
    date range selection has not been applied clicking on the button "apply"
    the assignments are proposed (versus committed)
    the assignment has not been publish (column publish to "yes" in MS Project Pro)
    the assignment owner is not the resource
    Here is (sorry, it is in french) my upper part (graph) with 1 resource selected, 3 weeks and a 7hrs assignment on the 2nd week (note that you have to apply the date range once selected) :
    Then the lower part (detailed grid) where is have exactly the same information (same assignments, same resources, same date range):
    Hope this helps.

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • How do I transfer all info from one Mac to another?

    A few months ago I bought a new MacBook Pro, and want to use my old one as a backup. How do I transfer all the info on the new one to the old one? Got a firewire, if that helps.  OS 10.8.2 on both.
    Tom in Texas

    You said:
    We all confuse with your question.
    You all confused? Well, I clear things up! Sorry... I be unclear...
    Recently my old MacBook crashed while I was in LA, and I bought a new one almost identical to us. I have to have a working Mac when I'm out of town making presentations. So...yeah, I guess I want to format the old one like a Time Machine disk...so that when the new one crashes or won't open up for some mysterious reason, I can go to the old one and use it. Both have the latest OS, and there's plenty of room on the old disk for the info. Any reason I could't do that? I'd prefer to do it as quickly as possible...not do individual documents, etc.

  • How do you use Airport extreme at hotels etc, when traveling? I can plug my computer into the Airport with my ethernet but how does Airport pickup signal?

    How do you use Airport extreme at hotels etc, when traveling? I can plug my computer into the Airport with my ethernet but how does Airport pickup signal? What equipment & devices do I need to travel with to make this possible?

    You may mean the AirPort Express.....not AirPort Extreme.....as the Express is a popular travel router.
    The whole idea behind using this device is that the hotel must provide an Ethernet jack in the hotel room. Then you connect the AirPort Express to the Ethernet jack with an Ethernet cable and configure it to provide your own wireless network in the room. You still have to agree to terms, pay the fees, etc.
    The problem with this approach is that it is getting very difficult to find hotels in North America that prrovide an Ethernet jack....most have moved to wireless networks and the others are not far behind.
    So, if the hotel is already providing a wireless signal, the AirPort Express is of no use in that situation.
    If you normally stay at the same hotels, and know that they provide Ethernet ports, an AirPort Express might make sense in terms of convenience.

  • How can I transfer all my info from my old mac to a new one?

    how can I transfer all my info from my old macbook to my mac mini?
    My Mac mini chash about one month ago and I got it back from apple, I didnt have a time michine back up for this one but in my old mac I have almost all my files, so I want to transfer all the data to the Mac mini with no problem

    You can use migration assitant which is located in the Utility Folder under Applications. The compters can be connected via ethernet, fire wire, or wifi. My recommendation is not to use wifi.
    You run migration assistant on both machines and you can choose to transfer everything or just data.
    Another way is to use migration assistant to restore from a time machine backup.

  • I want to transfer all my iPhoto, iTunes, contacts, etc. files from my MacBook, which I am selling to a MacBook Pro. What is the easiest and safest method of achieving this? Can the files backed up on Time Machine be transferred to the Pro?.

    I want to transfer all my iPhoto, iTunes, contacts,documents, etc. files from my MacBook, which I am selling, to a MacBook Pro. What is the easiest and safest method of achieving this? Can the files backed up on Time Machine from the MacBook be transferred to the Pro in some way? I would like to capture the files as they appear on the MacBook, such as "Events" in iPhoto and the various song categories within iTunes without having to rename them all once saved on the Pro, which is the case with photos when I simply save them to thumb drive and import them to the Pro. Sny advice would be appreciated.
    Best regards,
    Rob.

    Michael,
                 Thanks for all your assistance. There is no need for apologies, Migration Assistant did indeed create a second account for the MacBook data. It has just taken me some time to figure out how to access it. I now have all the MB data in one account and the MBP files in another, which suits me fine. In fact, it is an advantage in my case as it keeps the private and business aspects separated.
    I will however try the fatcatsoftware to transfer all the iPhoto files to my iMac, where I keep my main photo library. and it will be of help to keep the events, etc in the transfer. As far as iTunes is concerned, I have HomeSharing on all my computers and this has obviated the need to worry about playlists being transferred successfully. However, HomeSharing did not appear to share the iPhone/iPod apps that were stored on the MB and although these have now come across with the new MacBook account on the MBP, I was wondering whether my iPhone and iPod will be recognised by the MBP and sync with it? Will I need to have the MB account open to achieve this or will the MBP recognise and sync with the iPhone/iPod automatically irrespective of which account is open?
    Thanks for the tip on deauthorising my iTunes account from the MB before sellng. This I will do and I believe the best way to remove all of my data from the hard drive is to reinstall the MacOSX operating system software. Is this the right approach to securely delete everything?
    Thanks again for sharing your expertise and your guidance through this exercise.
    Best regards,
    Rob.

  • How do I transfer all my data from an iPad Air wifi 32 GB to a brand new iPad Air 2 64GB?

    I received right now a brand new iPad Air2 wifi 64 GB. How do I transfer ALL MY DATA from another iPad Air wifi 32 GB ?

    Back up your old one. I use and prefer iTunes, but back up all the data, etc.
    Then unplug it. Plug your new one in and go through the setup steps. When you see the option to set up as new or restore from the backup you just made, choose that and your new iPad will be a near clone of the old one.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you can't do this on a computer, which would be much easier using drag and drop, then you will need to share the contacts with yourself in order to move them to the iCloud account.

    This is a question for my brother, and he has an iMac PPC (he calls it the "ball") from 2003, which has a FireWire port.  He wants to get a new iMac, which I see has the Thunderbolt port.
    The new iMacs also have a FireWire 800 port, so a FireWire cable will work.  The "ball" sounds like a G4 iMac, which has a FireWire 400 port, so either a cable with different plugs or an adapter would be needed.
    He has found your very detailed instructions about using Migration Asst
    For best results, use Setup Assistant when the new Mac first starts up, not Migration Assistant later on.
    to set up the new Mac with everything he currently has on his old Mac.
    Since the old Mac is a PPC Mac, he/you probably should not transfer applications --  most 3rd-party apps that work on the old Mac won't work on the new one.
    I see the Apple store has a Thunderbolt-Fire Wire cable -- will this do the trick?
    It looks like it would, but it's F/W 800, so you'll still need a F/W 400-to-F/W 800 cable and an adapter.
    Or, use an Ethernet cable and transfer via network.
