HT1338 Is there an easy way to transfer contacts to imessage in my laptop? instead of manually entering each from my iPhone

I want to know if there is an easy way of transfering contacts to imessage on my laptop from either my iphone or facebook?

Hey Stevonz83,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities, and thanks for the question! You have a few options. You can either enable iCloud on your Mac and iPhone, which stores your contact information and automatically pushes it to each of the devices that you set up to work with iCloud. You can read more about it here:
iCloud: Contacts

Or, you can use iTunes to manually transfer your iPhone's contact information to your computer, which you can read more about here:

  • Is there an easier way to transfer your iTunes library on windows to a mac than copying the library to a usb and plugging the usb into the mac and put the library in the iTunes file

    is there an easier way to transfer your iTunes library on windows to a mac than copying the library to a usb and plugging the usb into the mac and put the library in the iTunes file? I recently swapped to Mac and this is how i moved the library from windows to mac and library is in tact but is there an easier way? My cousin just imported her cd's again, but it was harder for me as i have an ipod with over 150 apps and i needed to move them. i think it would be helpful if i knew of an easier way so i can help a friend move his. Thanks

    The general method of use is to download a script (double-click or right-click and use Download or Save As...) to a folder of your choice, e.g. your Desktop, Downloads folder or create a folder at ...\iTunes\Scripts. Select a playlist or highlight some tracks in iTunes and then double-click on the script to execute it. If no specific tracks are selected the script will try to work with all tracks in the current playlist or sometimes the entire library.

  • HT1766 On an iPhone 5, Is there an easy way to move app icons as a group? instead of one by one?

    On an iPhone 5, Is there an easy way to move app icons as a group? instead of one by one?

    If you have a bunch of apps on one screen yunwantnto move to another as a group, create a folder by holding your finger on ne app until all the icons start shaking and show and "x" in the top left corner of the icon. Press again and don't lift your finger; move that icon with your finger over one of the other icons you want to add to the folder, which will create a folder. Then you can move the other apps you want to move into that folder. When you have all the apps you want to move into that folder, close the folder by tapping on the screen outside the folder. The icons should still be shaking. Then press on the folder you want to move and slide it to the edge of the screen, left or right, until the folder moves to the next screen. Once you get it to the screen of choice, you can leave the apps in that folder or move them out by the same process. When you are done moving things around, press the Home button and the icons will stop shaking. Now they will stay put.
    Alternatively,my can sync your device with iTunes and move the icons around in the Apps windows in iTunes, then re-sync your device after you're finished. That will rearrange your icons on the device.
    Good luck!

  • Is there an easy way to move contacts and calander from my office microsoft outlook to personal imac?

    is there an easy way to move contacts and calander from my office microsoft outlook to my personal imac?

    You can import the clips in the order you want them to play, which would be the quickest.
    Or you can put them all in the timeline, then zoom out on the timeline (two finger squeeze).
    That makes it easier to hold the clip, and drag it to the start.

  • Is there an easy way to transfer playlist from laptop to iMac?

    Hi,
    I just made custom tunes and a playlist on my laptop.
    How do I transfer the playlist (with the new tunes) to my iMac?
    Do I have to find the actual songfile on the laptop - copy to laptop desktop, then through "target mode" - copy to desktop of imac and put in library?  Or is there an easier way???
    Thanks!

    The method I have used is to export the playlist on the first Mac, File>Library>Export Playlist, this creates a text file that you save to say your desktop.  Then copy that text file to the second Mac and from iTunes on the second Mac import that playlist, File>Library>Import Playlist.
    Note however this will NOT copy the songs from one Mac to another, but assuming you have the same songs on both, this method works well. If you dont have the same songs on both as you said then you first need to copy the songs manually from 1 Mac to the other, either through Home Sharing or Add to Library etc.
    Easiest way to do that is to create a new folder on desktop, drag the songs in your playlist into that folder, copy that folder to your iMac then Add to Library from iTunes on your iMac & select that folder you just copied.

  • Is there an easy way to transfer bookmarks from old computer (Win2000) to new computer (Win7)

  • IS THERE AN EASY WAY TO TRANSFER MY BOOKMARKS TO MY NEW COMPUTER. OLD HP XP NEW HP WINDOWS 7

    CAN BOOKMARKS BE TRANSFERED TO MY NEW HP LAPTOP WITH WINDOWS 7

    That is not normally a problem. It is usually possible to export from one browser and import to the other. What is the browser on the older XP is that firefox or Internet Explorer? and if firefox is it an up to date version eg 3.6 ?
    You also need some way to transfer the files, standard methods may include over a wifi network, or by copying to media such as a CD or a FlashDrive.

    Here is your saviour... it's called iTunes Art Importer.
    What this program does is uses the information provided by iTunes and searches Amazon's vast database of music, and finds the appropriate album art.

    Hi Orcagirl24,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The answer to your question is in the iPhone User Guide on page 106.
    I've included a link to the entire guide for you below, and highlighted what you are looking for.
    manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

    Sync voice memos with iTunes: Connect iPhone to your computer, then in iTunes select iPhone.
    Select Music at the top of the screen (between Apps and Movies),
    select Sync Music, select “Include voice memos,” and click Apply.
    Voice memos synced from iPhone to your computer appear in the Music list and in the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes.
    Memos synced from your computer appear in the Voice Memos app on iPhone, but not in the Music app.
