Contacts From Old Phone To New

I will be setting up my iPhone as new when I get my new one. My concern is my contacts. If I push the slider on my current phone to green/on for contacts under iCloud, will then they show up on my new phone when I activate it? Is there an easy way to get my contacts on the new phone without losing any or creating duplicates? I don't want to restore from back-up, I want to set us as new.  I have heard Gmail however I worry that will create duplicates and will put some on my phone that I don't want there.

Have you tried syncing with your computer?

  • HT201272 Problem with app from old phone to new phone

    I had to get a new iPhone 5 and downloaded my existing apps through iCloud. However, one of the apps from my old phone was upgraded and I paid a yearly subscription fee. When I received my new phone and downloaded this upgraded app, my new phone did not recognize my paid subscription and now is prompting me for another upgrade. How do I get this phone to recognize my upgraded app?

    back up your old phone using that
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    erase your new phone, by going to settings general reset -erase content and reset all settings
    connect to your mac and restore from your back up.
    Do not sync contacts, since your mountain lion has contacts of your husband.
    Verify, that you use separate icloud accounts. Do not sync anything with itunes (including your apps and music) until you sign in to your own icloud account, after you verify that you have your own contacts on the phone.

  • Need to transfer apps & contacts from old 4 to new 5S - BUT...

    I hadn't updated the OS on the 4 for a long time, since each upgrade made it perform worse.  Now I can't get the 4 to upgrade (when I try, it just says "software update unavailable, try again later"), and Verizon says without doing so I can't transfer over my apps and contacts to the new phone.  No worries about photos or music - those are saved elsewhere already.  Any advice?  Thx!

    Verizon is wrong. You have a current backup of your iPhone 4? If so, follow the directions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109
    No iTunes content is included in any iPhone backup, so after you restore your new phone from the backup of your old phone, either re-download your apps & music, or sync it to your new phone.

  • How to get pics from old phone to new phone using iCloud.

    I just got the iPhone 5s and I used to have a 4. I backed up my pictures and contacts but the only thing that's on my new phone is my contacts. My old phone won't come back on. I need my pictures off of my old phone. My new phone says I don't have enough iCloud storage to backup. When I go to settings, iCloud, storage and backup, it lists my old phone and my new one. I don't know how to get my pictures back.

    You have to use the other account or turn on sharing.

  • Syncing contacts from old email to new email on BB Tour

    I would like to have the contacts I entered on my phone that synced to an old email address sync to the new email address I now use on my BB.  All the contacts I have entered since setting up the new email address have synced under that account but the old ones still say "Synchronize using: [email protected]".
    Is there a quick fix for this or will they forever be synced to my out-of-date account?
    Thanks for the help!

    An easy way to do transfer your contacts is to download the free app My Contacts Backup.  Run this app on your old phone to backup your contacts as an attachment to an email.  Send this email to yourself and open it on your new phone, tap the attachment and import your contacts.

  • Trying to move my contacts from old BB8520 to new BB9360

    good day to the community, I am trying to move my entire contacts list from old business BB to new BB9360 using my home IMac as a pivot. I have downloaded the program for mac and succesfully moved my contact list there, but now when I connect my new 9360 after succesfully prompting for BB password it says "cannot connect IMac to the BB". if I look at the BB Desktop Software, I only see on the top left the BB 8520 icon, so basically I guess it is not ready to dialogue with the new device, as if the system did not acklowledge that there is a new device which I am trying to connect. I tried to dowload again the BB Desktop Software, it does not change.
    any suggestion other then manually re-inserting over 1k contacts?

  • Getting contacts from old phone onto iPhone

    I've seen a few posts similar to this, but I'm looking for a simple answer. I had a Samsung phone through AT&T with a sim card and have many contacts on there. I'd like to bring them into the iPhone but don't know where how to insert the sim card to do this. Can it be done and can I do it myself or do I need to go into a store? I see a slot at the top of the iPhone, but it's not obvious how to remove it from the device. Thanks.
    If I do this, can I then synch to my Yahoo contacts or will this overwrite the contacts from the sim card of the previous phone?

    Page 6 of the iphone users guide covers SIM card installation.

  • Trying to transfer Apps from old phone to new.

    I need to transfer Apps from my iPhone3 to the computer, so I can then get them from the computer to my new iPhone4, however when I try to "transfer purchases from phone to computer" I get a message saying they couldn't be transferred to my library because I am not authorised for them on this computer, even though I purchased all the Apps directly to my iPhone3. Can someone help? Cheers.

    This has nothing to do with purchasing/downloading apps direct with the iPhone. This has everything to do with your computer not being authorized with the same iTunes account with iTunes that was used to purchase/download the apps with your iPhone, or there is a problem with this on your computer if already authorized with the same iTunes account with iTunes along with iTunes on your computer being logged in with the same account before doing the transfer.

  • I have an iPhone 4 now and I just got the iPhone 4s so how do I backup all my data from old phone to new?

    I have  the iPhone 4 and just upgraded to iPhone 4s how do I backup my data before I activate my iphone 4s? Please help!!

    iOS devices are designed to be sync'd with a single computer, so thinking of future updates, backups and so forth, yes, it would be best to do it on your computer - the one you normally use for iTunes.
    Note that backing up also does not backup everything in iTunes.  Contacts, for example, will be backed up into whatever contact management program you normally use on your computer (eg. outlook on a Windows PC, contacts on a Mac).
    If you have never backed up your iPhone, now is the opportune time to do so and learn how.  Not having a backup means if anything goes wrong with your phone (or you loose it or it is stolen), you risk losing everything on it.

    Your apps are all connected to your Gmail account.  Once you sign in they are supposed to re-install automatically on the new phone (though that doesn't always happen).  If it doesn't happen, you have two options, you can either access the Play Store on your computer here: https://play.google.com/store and click on My Android Apps (top right), then go through them and click install on each one (make sure your new phone is signed into your Gmail account, and open the Play Store on your phone at least once) and they will be pushed to your phone.  Or, you can open the Play Store, then press menu>my apps, then swipe to the right.  This will give you a list of every app you have ever installed, and you can pick which ones to re-install.  I find the computer method to be easier, but hopefully they get pushed to your phone automagically.
