From Blackberry to iphone 3gs

I need some help. I am going from a Blackberry Curve 8300 to an iphone and I can't wait to get/use the iphone. I need to tranfer all my contacts to the iphone. What is the best way to do this? I don't have Outlook. My Blackberry currently backs up to my Windows PC. I use gmail but don't currently sync my contacts with gmail Is it best to create a csv file then try to upload to gmail, the sync the iphone? I don't want to have to enter 196 of my contacts by hand. Please help!!
Thanks,
Mark

Download/sync your contacts to a compatible program and sync to iphone.
From the manual:
"Sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo! Address
Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Contacts,
Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), Windows Vista Contacts, or Microsoft
Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC. ("

How can i copy my diary from blackberry to iphone 3gs - this si my first iphone so not sure how to use anything at the moment but my diary is the most important bit i need!

how can i copy my diary from my old blackberry to new iphone 3GS - this is my first iphone so i am complete novice! I hope to avoid re-inputting every entry!

You probably already figured this out, but....
The iPhone will sync from various things on your computer (check the manual for details) but if your Blackberry won't export the data or sync to anything, then you'll need to get the info off the Blackberry manually.
Alternatively, it might be possible to set the Blackberry up to sync with Google Calendar, maybe, to export the data? I don't know anything about Blackberrys. Try a google search or ask on BB forums with help getting the data out.
But it will be easier to manually type into something on your desktop/web, then sync with the iPhone, rather than hand-entering on the phone itself. Then keep syncing with whatever you decided to use, so that you'll never need to do this again.

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

I want to change the sync on iTunes on my laptop from my old iPhone 3GS to my new iPhone 4s,how do I do this?

maybe be more specific...
you can sync multiple devices to the same itunes account on the same laptop. Simply plug in the new iphone 4s and check off all the settings you want to sync (apps, music, playlists, books, videos, etc).
If you want your iphone 4s to look exactly like your 3gs...
1. do an icloud backup of your 3gs
2. restore your iphone 4s to factory settings
3. when setting up the phone, choose "restore from icloud backup"
4. choose the most recent icloud backup (should display the date and time of the 3gs backup you just performed
5. phone will load everything just as it is on the 3gs... onto the iphone 4s

Contacts should be in your supported computer contacts application.
Did you sync with your computer befor? Check your computer's Address book/Contacts/Outlook or some other contacts application.
* Your contacts are part of the backup to preserve recent calls and favorites lists. Back up your contacts to a supported personal information manager (PIM), iCloud, or another cloud-based service to avoid any potential contact data loss.

Upload contact from Nokia to Iphone 3GS

How can I upload contact from Nokia to Iphone 3GS?

Or if your Nokia supports syncing contacts via bluetooth with an address book application on your computer that is supported for syncing contacts with the iPhone - iSync on a Mac provides for this - syncing contacts with the Address Book on a Mac with a number of cell phones this is supported with. Follow this by syncing your iPhone with the address book on your computer via the iTunes sync process.
With Windows, this can be with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book application used by Outlook Express or by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.

Same problem here, and it's not isolated.

I believe you will find you can again sync Photos if you delete the "iPod Photo Cache", but predict that any subsequent attempt will fail. In my case, the enxt sync removes all the photos again - I've seen other reports of error messages upon sync. Mine just fails silently. :-)

Hello vikings2013
You can recover photos from iTunes or iCloud as long as you had a backup. The article below will give instructions on backup and restore through both options of computer and iCloud.

You're iPhone was probably set to automatically sync with your iTunes upon plugging it in. Best option is to restore from a backup, either on iCloud or your computer.

My new Iphone 4 is restoring with the information from my old Iphone 3gs on itunes. How do I restore it back to 4g?

My New Iphone 4 is restoring with the information from my old IPhone 3gs on Itunes. How do i get it to restore back to the 4g?

There is no 4g.
If you don't want to restore it with your old iPhone information, then just restore as a NEW phone, not from the backup. Don't quite understand what there's not to get. :-|

I have an old imac that won't upgrade to itunes ios5. Now i can't log my iphone 4s into it or access/ transfer anything from my previous iphone 3gs. Please advise

I have been told that my iMac jjust can not be upgraded to the software that supports ios5. Normally this is not a problem since its working just as well as the day I got it. However since it holds my itunes, now i have a problem of 1) can not access it with my ipad or my iphone 4s 2) i can not retrieve any of the pictures, songs etc that i had on my previous iphone 3gs and consequently 3) i can not use icloud. I have considered transferring my itunes to a pc but i hate the pc experience and if i would plug in my 3gs into that itunes it would format the phone and erase all content on it. So far i have been told that the only option is to buy a new mac. This is very frustrating because i don't really need one and i should not be excluded from apple services for my new products simply because macs become somehow "un-upgradeable" after a while. Not to mention, that i do not have the funds atm. I really hope the is another way out there for people like me and that i don't have to worry about my mac simply being inoperable (causing all my other apple devices to be crippled as well) after a few years.
Thank you,
Tina

Glenn,
I tried upgrading to leopard, even bought the software and brought it home but it wouldn't let me. So i went back to apple, gave them the specifications of the machine and been told my machine is simply too old for leopard. This is incredible to me because it really isn't THAT old (i think just a little over 6 years maybe) and yet i'm left out on the curb when it comes to using newer apple products. I understand technology moves on but the mindset that i am supposed to dump a perfectly working machine after a couple of years or face not being able to use any other apple product is counter to what thought apple was about.

How do I move data files from old iPhone? Specifically, the password files for the App mSecure from my old iPhone 3Gs to iPhone 4S?

How do I move data files for mSecure (a password saver app) from old iPhone 3GS to new iPhone 4S?

That article is about using your iPod as an external hard drive, to move files from one computer to another computer. It is not related to your question.
You can't use iTunes to move song files from iPod to computer, except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download purchases). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can move song files from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your current computer, add them to that computer's iTunes library by dragging the files (or folder containing the files) to the iTunes window. After confirming everything is there (and fixing the data issue you mentioned) you can sync the iPod. You may want to do a Restore on the iPod, if it might have a data corruption issue, which will erase the iPod's hard drive, re-install the latest software, and set it to defautl settings.

ICal not syncing from MacAir to iPhone 3GS

Urgent help needed!
My extensive calendar I have on my MacAir (late 2010) running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) is no longer pushing all of my hundred appointments to my iPhone 3GS (running iOS5) calendar. A lot of similar issues posted, but I cannot find one with a decent fix, or without deleting my MacAir's calendar and re-installing it. Any help would be deeply appreciated!
I have moved from MobileMe to iCloud, so I know there is a tick because of that, but not clear as to why.
The error message I get when I click on the exclamation icon in iCal on my MacAir is as follows:

You are still under Snow Leopard, and basically iCloud is not supported.
Are we talking about iCloud calendar, or Gmail calendar ?
In any case, I would advice you 2 things :
1 - update to 10.6.8
2 - check iCal parameters for SN http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57511534-263/how-to-set-up-icloud-services- in-snow-leopard/
