How can I get phone number contacts to transfer?

I read the user guide, backed up my phone list numbers from my old phone, but found that directions to transfer the phone numbers did not work on my iphone 4. Grrrrr! What I read in the instructions does not match what I see on the screen. Also, Apple's use of the word "contacts" is used to apply to both email addresses (which did transfer easily) and phone number contacts (which did not). This can be confusing.
Has anyone transferred a phone list from their previous "dumb" phone (backup assistant enabled) to an iphone4 (not backup assistant friendly).

Hey Susanne,
I'm very sorry to hear about your lack-of-success from the Backup Assistance feature that Verizon Wireless offers. I've also had a horrible experiences with that feature on the iPhone 4 and it just seems to make it a regret of getting a new phone, haha!
Just to ensure not a further headache, have you checked online to make sure all of your contacts are successfully stored on the Backup Assistance?

    have an iphone4 and my husband merge his numbers with mine and i think it was deleted can you tell me how can he get his number back on his phone

    Do you possibly mean the contacts have been merged?
    If so, where are each of you syncing contacts?  A supported application on the computer? iCloud or another cloud service? An Exchange server?
    WIthout details, it's difficult to offer specific resolutions.

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    Origami?  
    You can transfer the excel spreadsheet in to a .csv file and import to Outlook.
    Or use desktop manager (see link below)
    Do you have these numbers on another device?
    What version of Windows, Outlook, desktop manager etc. are you using?
    Thanks,

    If you connect your iPhone to a computer running Linux (Ubuntu version in my case) it will become recognized as a normal USB memory pen-drive.
    From there, you can use many methods to recover your lost deleted files.
    TestDrive allows you to search the drive (iPhone memo) and gives you the possibility to recover deleted files. I'm not an expert, nor did it with iDevice by myself. But it worked for me with Symbian phone (Nokia)...
    Alternatively:
    Check steps explained in this article.

    I set up iCloud on my iPhone, after that my contact list was disapeared, and I coudn't find out in my iCloud account. so How can I get back my contact list?

    If your contacts aren't on icloud.com when you check from your computer, and they aren't on your phone, you'll have to try restoring your last backup (or recover them from another backup source).

    Phone to Mac will be able to pull up your previous backup info from your computer so you can have a copy of Contacts, SMS, etc.

    how can i get the previous contact details in iphone

    You don't want to maintain a reference to the last selected node, but to the last selected path. Nodes within a tree are addressed using a TreePath, with contains references to each node from the root, down to a specific node. Look at the JavaDocs of javax.swing.tree.TreePath for more info.
    Also, JTree has getter/setter methods for the selectionPath.

    Hi,
       You can try this:
    * Let's say the table's datasource is a node called Table  and it has two attributes first & second.
    * You want to check if any of these attributes has been changed by the user or not. If they have been
    * changed then you want to do some validations against them.
      int sizeOfTable = wdContext.nodeTable().size();
      for(int i = 0; i < sizeOfTable; i++){
         IPrivate<view name>.ITableElement ele = wdContext.nodeTable().getTableElementAt(i);
         if(ele.isChangedByClient(ITableElement.<attribute name>)){
            //value has been changed, do some validation. You can get the row index using ele.index().

    Satyajit.

  • How can i get iban number in transaction FDTA

    Hi Abaper,
    How can i get iban number in transaction FDTA ?
    Thanks in advance.

    This is a bit past the last activity of the thread, but I just had an idea, that requires me to get the port number in the init.
    When this particular servlet shuts down, it generates an email. Since there is more than one instance running, I figured, I would put the HOST and PORT in the email.
    The problem with saving this information from a request, is say it gets shutdown before any requests are generated.
    The email then would have the HOST portion, but the port would be null.
    Ideally there would be a way to get the port(s) that the server is listening on.
    Thanks,

  • How can I get my Exchange contacts to sync over to iCloud?

    How can I get my Exchange contacts to sync over to iCloud?
    If I delete my Exchange account, my contacts get removed as well.
    My Exchange account is my default.
    I've also installed the iCloud app on my Windows machine running W8 and Outlook 2013 where my Exchange account runs on.

    You would have to export your contacts from Exchange and import them into iCloud somehow. I have to admit I don't know of an easy way to do this but maybe one of the other volunteers here will know how to do it.
