HOW DO I TRANSFER CONTACTS FROM 3GS TO 4GS?

I recently upgraded my 3gs to a 4s. When I synced it to ITunes it did not transfer all my text conversations, contacts and emails. Is there a way to do this?

Try restoring the iPhone 4S from the iPhone 3GS's backup.

  • How do I transfer contacts from 3GS (4.3.5) to 5S (7.0.4) without losing them in 3GS update to 6.1.3?

    I bought a new iPhone 5S (7.0.4) and have backed up all other data from my iPhone 3GS (4.3.5) to my iTunes (I had to update iTunes to the latest version) in hopes to then transfer that data to the 5S.  For whatever reason, it doesn't appear that any of my 3GS contacts were backed up to my iTunes and I know for sure they didn't get restored to the 5S since they aren't there like my photos and apps. 
    I read somewhere that I would need to uprgade the iOS on my 3GS from 4.3.5 to 6.1.3 and then make the 3GS compatible with iCloud and then transfer the contacts via iCloud from the 3GS to my new 5S.  I started this process (updating my 3GS to 6.1.3) and even though it said I would lose all my media data but that I would be able to preserve my contacts when asked during the update process.  The update process completed and then I attepmted to restore my data on my 3GS.  This process started but it could not finsih beachse "an error had occured (-1)" and the process was not completed. 
    I then turned on my 3GS and it is now asking me if I want to make it my new iphone, restore from the iCloud, or restore from iTunes back-up.  I have no idea what to do and am supper worried now about losing my contacts.
    What do I do to get my contacts!?!?!

    Backing up saves your settings and other stuff on core apps but it  doesnt save your appdata(that's is the main thing i am looking for) so it wont restore that when i restore it  from the backup i create and this article too says it http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972 so i would like too know how do i keep my data stored in apps from the appstore if there is any way to keep the data. Thanks anyway. If anyone else knows a way then please help as i accidentally clicked on this solved my question. :|

    I used the following method, which means that your contacts are permanently on your iPhone (the problem with syncing to Gmail in order to 'transfer' contacts is that you need the gmail account to be active all the time in order to see the contacts), take an example of transferring contacts from Sony to iPhone:
    1. Transfer all of your contacts to the Sony Experia's internal storage. It will create a vCard file.
    2. Connect your Sony Experia to a pc
    3. Ensure that you can see the Sony Experia's internal storage files, and identify the location of the vCard file (for me it was in system/PIM)
    4. Set up an email account on your iPhone
    5. Email the vCard file to the email account on your iPhone
    6. Open the vCard file attachment on your iPhone
    7. You should now see your contacts and automatically have the option (in the same screen) to 'Add all xxx Contacts' where xxx is the number of contacts in the vCard file
    Hope that helps.

    How can I transfer contacts from my iPhone to a new iPad with another Apple-ID?

    You can't. Not directly anyway. You might be able to import them to your computer and then sync them to the iPad but there is no way to transfer them over the air or by connecting the two devices with a cable.
    I know absolutely nothing about apps like this, but I did a very quick Google search and found this.

  • How do i transfer contacts from a broken iphone to another?

    How do i transfer contacts from my iphone that will not turn on, to another working iphone?

    Hey dbricknr,
    If you signed into your device with an iCloud account and backed up your contacts through iCloud, the next time you go onto that new working iPhone be sure to sign in into your iCloud account.
    To do so, please follow perform these instructions on your iPhone:
    Settings > iCloud > You should see somewhere with an option to sign in, from there sign in. > Once you do that, go back to the iCloud settings page on your iPhone and make sure Contacts are on.
    Turning the contacts slide on should backup your new contacts you added on this phone, (If I'm correct)
    Your contacts should now appear in your contacts section.
    Hope this helps!

    Hello Sm1942, 
    You can sync your contacts in one of two ways. The first way is to use iTunes to sync them over and you can find the option in the Info tab to sync them. The other option is using a syncing service like iCloud and you can set that up on both on your iPhone and your MacBook Air. For information on how doing either option, the articles below will get you going.

    Please how do I transfer Contacts from old Nokia N8 to my new iPhone 4S?
    Yes there is,
    Download and install Nokia Suite for your PC. After installation, go to "tools" in the top menu and click on "options". The Options window should open up. on the left side select "contacts" and then under "sync with contacts application", select "Windows Contacts". After this click on "ok".
    Connect your Nokia C3-00 to the computer with Nokia Suite still open. Your phone will show up in the application. Move mouse cursor over the contacts square on the left of the application window, and then click "sync". Wait for the sync to finish. Disconnect the Nokia phone.
    Download and install iTunes. Connect your iphone. from this application you will be given an option to import contacts from Windows contacts. This should give you all the contacts.
