How can I import SMS / MMS from old phone to iPhone?

Greetings. I wonder, how can I import messages (SMS and MMS) from my old phone to a new iPhone? I have my current phone for about five years and I have there many important messages I can't afford to lose. I know, that exporting messages is often tricky (my old phone is using Windows Mobile 6), but there are some programs that can export messages to various formats (.xml, .txt, .sms etc.). But the question is, how to import these messages into iPhone.
Is it possible via iTunes? Is there an app? Sould I visit Apple Store or support? Thank you for any ideas.

Well, I am thinking about iPhone for the first time. My five years old phone is smartphone, but very early one (HP iPAQ 514, running Windows Mobile 6). I know that transfering data between different systems might be difficult, but on the other hand, we have the end of 2011, so I believe in interoperability (at least via third party apps).
Anyway, I've discovered few softwares that can export my messages from my old phone and put it into a file on a computer (in different formats, such as .sms, .txt., .xml or .csv; depends on software and options). But the question is, how to import it into new iPhone.
I've also noticed (from various discussions), that iPhone-related messages are usually saved somewhere in iTunes (something.mdbackup), but again, the question is, how to import it back to phone..
To be honest, I am quite surprised that there is not some easy on-click way (or at least tons of how-to or tutorials). The iPhone is quite a new product (since 2007) and before it there was already quite a large mobile and smartphone market - so "transferring data" should be already solved.. (similar to transferring contacts, calendars and so on).

How can i import the music from my phone on to my itu nes account on a new computer

hello my name is Brandon, my hard drive on my laptop fried out and i am currently stting up my itunes on a different laptop. I want to be able to keep all of my music but everytime i connect my iphone to my laptop it says that all music will be lost and only the music that is on the laptop now will be imported to my phone. my music is my life and i love the playlist i have now but there are songs that i have on this laptop that i really want on my phone for when i workout. Can someone please tell me how i can save my music.

It depends on eaxactly what is wrong with the old laptop. If you're lucky the drive can be extracted and connected to a new computer to extract the data. Otherwise see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

How can I import safari bookmarks from my iPad or iPhone?

I recently opened a MobileMe account and set my account to sync with my Safari on my iMac. While I was in Safari, MobileMe synced, I mistakenly allowed it to sync from MobileMe to Safari, not the other way around. So I have lost all my bookmarks. They still exist in my iPhone and iPad, but I want them to go back into my computer. I have tried syncing the devices to my iMac, but to no avail. Anyone have any suggestions? Have I missed something?

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Open System Preferences/MobileMe: Select the Sync tab. Then click the Advanced tab. Select your Mac and click: *Reset Sync Data*
If that doesn't sync your Safari bookmarks back to your iPhone or iPad, try MobileMe: Troubleshooting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch sync issues first.
You can also post in the iPhone Forum to get help there.
Do you by chance use Firefox? You could export your Bookmarks there to Safari and it would be a much simpler process ??

How can get 40,000 pix from old computer restored by Carbonite to new computer into PE 11 or 12?

I bought a new, faster, more storage Windows 8 computer.
I had 40,000 pix on old computer tagged with names, event, location, date with PE 11. Also several projects involving hundreds of pix.
Carbonite restored all files (250 gig) from old computer to new, and their tech support says they all are on the new computer.
I bought the new PE 12 and installed it on new computer. It has only found 4,000 pix. I don't at all like PE 12 after enjoying PE2-11 and managing all my pix with it. PE11 was clearer in the pix presentation.
Apparently when imported to the new computer, I lost the tags that went to events, location, and the person tags did not separate family from friends etc. I can't even find my projects.
I was so frustrated with PE12, that I installed PE11, but everytime I try to open the Organizer, it doesn't open.
Help. I am so frustrated. I am pretty sure before I made the transition that I had written all tags to files. When I put PE11 on the new computer, why won't it give me what I had on the old.
This is probably my 10th generation computer change, and I never had such problems before with PE.

I am using 10 and 11 instead of 11 and 12. I tried to go back and edit,
but couldn't figure out how. Sorry, typing errorC.

Do you mean they are on the web at iCloud.com or on your PC in an iCloud client (such as Outlook)

How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card to Final cut Pro 5.1.4

How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card (recorded with the Sony HVR Z 7E) to Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 – is this possible at all?
I managed to import the files to Premiere, but it was just a test. I am working at a very huge documentary project with Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 thats why I would prefere not to change the program or the version.
Simply exporting from Premiere back to final cut is also very complicated.
Thanks for any ideas.

First, copy the card to a hard drive connected to your fcp workstation. I always back up all card based media at least 2 or three times. All hard drive will eventually fail. It's a question of when, not if.
I'm not familiar with this particular camera, but examine the contents of the copied files and see if you can find any .mov files. You can try importing these directly into fcp.
If you don't, you can try something like clipwrap

or
Magic Bullet Grinder
http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/
But, I'd really advise upgrading to at least fcp6 or ideally fcp7 if you can find a copy. HDV is a problematic format. Although you can certainly work with it and it's a fcp approved format, converting your media to prores would make your life much easier.

HT4910 how can I import my contacts from my Iphone 5 device to the Icloud?

how can I import my contacts from my Iphone 5 device to the Icloud?

To get the contacts from your Hotmail and exchange accounts into iCloud, do the following:
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup. (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer from your external accounts you will need the “Pro” version.) Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), and set this to iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your Hotmail and exchange accounts and turn off contacts syncing with with these accounts. If you don't you will see duplicates of your contacts (one from the external account and one from iCloud).
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the external accounts back to your phone, and to iCloud. Go to icloud.com to confirm they are there.

How can I import Raw files from a canon eos 6d?

How can I import RAW files from a Canon Eos 6D into aperture?

Doesn;t look like the 6d is supported yet. I'm surprised, thought it would have been in the latest update, 4.02.
In the meantime you can shot RAW+JPG and use the JPG's now and then switch to the RAW's once it is supported or else you an convert the RAWs to DNG using Adobe's converter and import the DNGs.
While I can't say for sure Canon cameras are usually supported fairly quickly so hopefully you won't have to much longer to wait.

And in the meantime let Apple now you want this see Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback

Time Machine is a back up you have to set up to back up before there is a problem like a hard drive failure.
It is possible to recover files from a failed drive, but it is an expensive proposition.
There is a faint hope that an app like Disk Warrior or TechTool Pro might repair the drive. You could try making an appointment at an Apple store and ask a technician there to take a look... the diagnosis will not cost you.

All I want to know is: HOW CAN I IMPORT A PHOTO FROM MY MAC DESK TOP?

I am sorry to be so ignorant, but I am not sure of WHERE to "post" this question:All I want to know is: HOW CAN I IMPORT A PHOTO FROM MY MAC DESK TOP?

Do you mean you want to import a photo to the organizer? It's easier if you put the photo where you want to keep it before importing, but just go to File>Get Photos>From Files and Folders and import it. If you move it after importing you must move it in folder view in the origanizer.
If you just want to edit the photo, there's no need to import it. Just go to File>Open in the editor.
