  • HT4994 how to put all ur contact on your sim card

    How do you put all your contacts that are on your phone on to the sim card ??

    You don't since doing so is not an available option, which is extremely limited to the name, a couple of phone numbers and maybe an email address.

  • How do I copy my contacts to the SIM Card for use in another handset (not iPhone) please?

    I have an iPhone 5 to replace my iPhone 3GS but I wish to get all of my phone numbers/contacts onto a spare handset which will stay in my rucksack for  emergencies.  I've read all the manuals but the only info I can find relates to backing up through iCloud which can only be used with Apple systems.  Any assistance appreciated, thank you.

    You don't. iPhone stores no data on a sim card.
    See if your carrier can do this for you. Some have machines, in store, that can do this.

  • How do I transfer the contacts from my Nextel/sprint SIM to a 3G iPhone?

    I am trying to determine if I will buy the Google phone or the iPhone 3G. I have been using a very powerful, military grade phone from Nextel for over three years. It has GPS voice turn by turn (1st negative for the 3G), the ability to track my son, with his phone, PTT, 25 groups and up to 600 contacts in each, etc.
    My biggest concern is how to transfer ALL of my contacts (437 in one group, 392 in another group, and 47 in another), to the 3G.
    Second question: I have been doing a great deal of research on this phone and many of these 3Gs are being sold on EBay for over $700.00. I guess it is because they are "unlocked", and some are described as being unlocked from the factory. If I understand correctly, "unlocked" simply means that the phone is able to use any network available, not just the 3G. But you can buy the SIM over-lay to "unlock" your own 3G, for only $5.00. So why would anyone buy a 3G for over $700.00 if they can unlock their own phone? Does the factory truly "unlock" some phones (BTW, these "factory" phones are sold as "NEW", as stated on EBay)?
    Also, Nextel/sprint are soon switching to the 4G network.
    The reason, and only reason I am separating myself from Nextel, is because they are in bed with sprint. I would not do or buy ANYTHING that has anything to do with sprint.
    I would appreciate some answers to my inquiries, and any other info regarding/about the "iPhone 3G".
    Thank you very much for your time and help with these questions. I truly appreciate it.
    Cheers,
    PM
    PS, is there a manual on this phone, on this site, in PDF format? I have not looked yet, but I might find it. This site is extremely hard to navigate. Many times the buttons need to be clicked multiple times in order for the next page to show up. It seems strange the things that are hapening on this site.

    If the contacts are on your current SIM card, you can simply insert that SIM card into the iPhone 3G and select Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Import SIM Contacts. The iPhone does not store contacts on the SIM card (they are stored in the flash memory) but it can import them. Alternatively, if they are on your computer, sync from them there (that's normally how contacts are managed, synced with Outlook/Address Book).
    This is not the place to discuss unofficially unlocked iPhones. All iPhones sold in the US are carrier-locked to AT&T. In some countries (Italy, Hong Kong, Belguim, for example), iPhones can be officially unlocked by the carrier. The phones on eBay are not these, they are hacked, and have not warranty coverage.
    Manual is here:

  • How do I transfer my contacts from my old Powerbook G4 to my new Macbook Pro?

    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.
    Using Migration Assistant to migrate from Tiger to Mountain Lion simply does not work. Tiger to Lion works, Tiger to Mountain Lion does not. Apple does not provide specific directions regarding the use of Migration Assistant from Tiger to ML, only Tiger to Lion.

  • I am trying to transfer my contacts to my iphone from a Casio G'zOne phone but I keep getting Connection Unsuccessful. How do I transfer the contacts?

    I am new to Apple products and I am trying to transfer my contacts to my iphone from a Casio G'zOne phone but I keep getting Connection Unsuccessful. How do I transfer the contacts?

    How are you trying to transfer them? Via Bluetooth? If so, that will not work.
    You need to get the contacts from the Casio phone into a supported contact manager on your computer (Address Book/Contacts on a Mac or Outlook on a PC) then sync them to the iPhone via iTunes or iCloud.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you can't do this on a computer, which would be much easier using drag and drop, then you will need to share the contacts with yourself in order to move them to the iCloud account.

    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 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.
