How do I transfer iPhone 4 contacts from PC to Mac?

Hello everyone, I'm new to the Mac family and I have hopefully what is a simple question. I am currently in the middle of getting rid of all my PC's but first I need to transfer my iPhone contacts from their respective PC's to their new Mac's. Can anyone please tell me how this is done?

You are using which address book application on each PC for contacts?
Are you syncing your iPhone contacts direct with a supported address book application on each PC via the iTunes sync process? All contacts on your iPhone match the supported address book application on each PC?
If so, before syncing your iPhone direct with an empty Address Book application on a particular Mac via the iTunes sync process, enter one contact in the Address Book on the Mac. Make the contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
Alternatively, the address book application you are using on a PC should support exporting the contacts as vCards. If so, export the contacts as vCard and email the vCards as attachments to yourself - sent to an email address for an email account that you are accessing with the Mail app on a Mac. Save the vCards from the received email to a folder you create on the Desktop. Use the Address Book application import feature to import vCards navigating to the folder created on the Desktop that contacts the vCards.

    1. Use O2M from Littlemachines.com

    3. Yes and check with Nikon, or just use Apple's own iPhoto software
    4. With the help of third party apps, yes.
    5. Yes
    6. Depends on the file. If you want maximum compatibility, get MS Office for Mac
    7. If Epson offers drivers, yes. Check their website
    8. If formatted FAT...yes. If formatted NTFS, only with with help of third party drivers
    9. Yes
    10. Depends on what you mean by "normal movies" but yes, anything should be playable.

    How do I transfer my contacts from my mac pro OS 10.6.8 (no icloud) to my new iphone 4s?

    Actually it's usually the other way around; if you attempt to sync your contacts on your computer and your Address Book is empty it will sync the empty contacts from your Mac to your phone, resulting in the contacts on your phone being deleted.  As long as you have at least one contacts on your Mac, when you initially sync you should get a Merge or Delete prompt for contacts.  Choose merge and the contacts on your phone and on your Mac will be merged and the merged contact list will be then be on both.
    Another approach you can take if you're concerned about this is to enter the two contacts you have on your phone in Address Book on your computer, then without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences>Devices and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".  Then connect your phone and go to the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings, check Sync Contacts, then further down under Advanced...Replace Information on this iPhone, check Contacts.  Then click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.  This will replace the contacts on your phone with those in Address Book on your computer.  (You can also open Address Book and go to File>Export>Contacts Archive before doing anything and save this on your desktop as a backup in case something goes wrong.)

    One way is to sync the contacts from the old iPhone to iCloud. Then when you turn on the new phone and set it up for iCloud and turn on the Contacts in Settings >iCloud, they will come to the new phone. http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

    How do I transfer iphone contacts to my PC

    1.Plug your USB cable into the computer and charge/sync cradle, which comes with your phone.
    2.Place the iPhone in the cradle. iTunes should start automatically and recognize your iPhone.
    3.Click on the iPhone logo in the left navigation pane of iTunes. You’ll be taken to a screen that gives you an overview of your phone and has several tabs along the top of the window, among them, "Contacts."
    4.Click on the "Contacts" tab and select which contacts you want synced with your iPhone. You'll need to choose which program you want your contacts synced from. Mac users will want to use "Address Book" or "Entourage." PC users should use "Microsoft Outlook" or "Outlook Express."
    5.Click the "Sync" button at the bottom of the "Contacts" pane. Your sync status will be visible in the top middle of the window. Do not remove your iPhone from the cradle until the sync is complete.
    6.Eject your iPhone by clicking on the "Eject" button next to your iPhone’s logo in the left margin.
    7.Check your contacts on your iPhone. Your new downloaded contacts should be there.

    how do I transfer my contacts from my old Powerbook G4 to my new one Macbook Pro?
    new Macbook Pro is operating on OSX 10.8.2
    When I save it as an export then try to open it on the new computer it wants me to delete all my current contacts before it will import.
    What happened to MERGING?

    On the PowerBook G4, open Address Book and choose File > Back up Address Book...
    Save it to your Desktop or directly to the MBP if it is already connected. Otherwise copy the Address Book backup file to the MacBook Pro. Email is also an option.
    On the MacBook Pro, open (double-click) the Address Book Backup (abbu) file:
    Contacts will launch and display the following:
    Click Replace All which will do what it says.

  • How can I transfer the contacts from my ipad to my itouch ?

    How can I transfer the contacts from my ipad to my itouch?

    Precisely what adami said. Hook up your ipad to your computer. Under 'info' choose to sync contacts. That will put them on your computer. Then plug in your Touch and choose the same, to sync contacts with the computer, and they'll transfer.
    Alternatively you can go into each contact and choose to 'share' it and mail it to an account that you can access on your Touch, then open it and save it. Upside, no computer needed, downside, it's a bit tedious.
    Theoretically you can also use iCloud, however the cloud ate my contacts so I'm not syncing via the cloud for that anymore. Your experience might be different, but I personally would avoid the cloud unless you've got them all backed up somewhere in case the cloud eats yours too.

    Then something is setup incorrectly, which version of OSX are you on, and is this an iCloud mail address (@mac, @me or @icloud)
    From your description of the issue I suspect that it is Outlook that is incorrectly setup.

    Are you saying you bought a computer with CS4 suite already installed on the computer?
    There are several versions of Creative Suite 4 that have different applications depending on the version you bought.
    Computers don't normally come with preinstalled software that ranges in price from approximately $600 to over $2000.
    You should have the disks for CS4 somewhere or if you downloaded it, you can download again for the link in message 5 above.
    And No, you cannot find the complete serial # on your old Mac.
    Adobe abbreviates the serial number shown in the application.
