How do I transfer my email contact list from my PC to my iPhone 5S ?

Sync it via iTunes on the computer as would be done with any content desired to be on an iDevice.

  • How can I transfer my email address list to another user on my pc?

    I want to transfer my email address book to my Admin user account? Can you help please?

    To export an individual address book, try these steps:
    From TB, click on 'Address Book' (or 3-bar menu -> Tools -> Address Book).
    In the list of address books in the left pane, click on the one you want to export.
    From the menu bar, select Tools -> Export. An new window 'Export Address Book' will open.
    Near the lower right-hand corner, select LDIF.
    Enter the file name and navigate to the folder where you want to store it. Click on 'Save'.
    This will export only the selected address book and not the others.
    Note 1: the file name of your LDIF file will become the name of the address book (e.g. AddrBook.ldif will produce an address book named 'AddrBook').
    Then, for the Admin account, From TB, click on 'Address Book' (or 3-bar menu -> Tools -> Address Book).
    In the list of address books in the left pane, click on the one you want to import (or use 'Personal Address Book').
    From the menu bar, select Tools -> Import. An new window 'Import' will open.
    Click on 'Address Books' and 'Next'.
    Highlight 'Text file', select 'Next'.
    Navigate to the folder where your LDIF file is located. Left click on it once. Click on 'Open'.
    Note 2: when you first look at the imported address book, it may be empty. Click on another one (such as 'Personal Address Book') and then go back to the imported one.

  • As a new iPad user how do I transfer my email contacts list from my PCM to my ipad

    How do I transfer my email contacts list from a laptop to my iPad?

    Hi - Thanks for your response.  I have tried to find the answer in the manual, but cannot locate the exact solution.
    Do I have to sync with iTunes? Does the iPhone just learn the addresses as I use it for email?  I'm confused because the "My Contacts" list that was transferred using VZ Contact Transfer is for cell phone numbers, not email addresses. But on my MacBook Pro I have "Address Book" with email addresses - that's what I want to transfer.  I'm a beginner with the iPhone - had a little basic flip-top LG for years. What a difference!!

  • How to transfer the whole address book from one no...

    Dear friend,
    Could you please advise me "how to transfer the whole address book from one nokia to another nokia phone via blue tooth connectivity. (move one by one is not convenience for my hundreds of contact.
    Thank and waiting for advice...
    victor

    If your phones have the built-in "Transfer" (sometimes called "Switch") application, try it.
    Otherwise, depending on the model(s) you can also copy all contacts to/from the memory card, and get them over that way.
    And you can also synchronize both programs to the same service (e.g., Outlook on a Windows PC using Nokia PC Suite).
    And newer versions of Nokia PC Suite can also be used to make a backup of one phone, and then restore to another.
    PC Suite you can find here: http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite

  • WISH TO TRANSFER FILES AND ADDRESS BOOK FROM WINDOWS 98PC TO NEW IMAC.

    HOW TO TRANSFER FILES AND ADDRESS BOOK FROM WINDOWS PC 98 TO IMAC .

    For addresses, general answer is to use Export function in your PC program and export in .csv (comma separated value) format. Then open Address Book app on new iMac and choose Import from File menu and locate the file you exported (on USB stick, or by email, for example). Should work! You've heard that before, right?

  • How do I create a separate Address Book? I'm not asking about a mailing list but an address book where the addresses are not mixed in with my regular address b

    How do I create a separate Address Book? I'm not asking about a mailing list but an address book where the addresses are not mixed in with my regular address book. I already have three address books created for me by Thunderbird. I add all new addresses to one of those but am afraid to delete the other address books because some of their addresses are not repeated in my "main" address book. So if I don't delete all the names in one of the existing books, I need to create an empty book that will not mix the addresses with those in another address book. HOW DO I CREATE A NEW, EMPTY ADDRESS BOOK? I want to be able to create various mailing LISTS using the addresses in this new book so I will eventually have a special address book with a variety of mailing lists I can use as I wish.

    In 24.4.0 there is no File|New|Address Book. There is File|New|Address Book Contact. How do I create a new address book ?

  • How do you add Contacts to Address Book From a List

    How do you add Contacts to Address Book from an outside source?

    In Address Book go to Help Menu -> Importing Contacts to get started.

  • Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly.  Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync.  Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.

    Solutions?

    No, I never really found an easy solution.  I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device.  In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs.  A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup.  It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad.  But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost.  When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might.  If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
    None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it.  I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
    Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.

  • How do I transfer an address book from one computer to another?

    I'm trying to transfer an address book from my G4 to my Imac G5 and can't seem to figure out how to do it. I've tried exporting out of one, but the other doesn't read it. These computers are not connected so I'm transferring via cd.
    Thanks,
    Dick Skover

    Hi Dick
    If they are both running Tiger
    Use "Backup Address Book" in Address Book > File to make a copy then
    "Revert to Address Book Backup" on the iMac
    I use this for backing up both Address Book and iCal as a matter of course (it is the Apple recommended way in the Help files) I put them into a folder in my "Documents" and clear old copies once a month. If you use .Mac I would certainly recommend it seeing the problems with data loss some folks have had.

  • I have lost the email Address Book from the menu bar. How do I get it back?

    I have lost the address book from the menu bar. How do I get it back?

    Which menu bar?  Finder or your email client?  Which email client are you using btw?  If your email client you can customize your menu through the view>toolbars menu.
    If Mail it's view>Customize Toolbar 
    Finder menu it's System Preferences>Users & Groups>your account>unlock the padlock>Login Items - add the address book by clicking the "+" sign.  When done lock the padlock. 

  • How do i transfer my address book from one computer to another

    Old computer is XP new compiuter is 7. Mozilla Thunderbird is the email program. Both are installed on separate computers.

    On your old computer (XP), go to Thunderbird (TB)
    select Address Book
    highlight which address book you want (such as Personal Address Book)
    from menu bar select Tools then Export
    enter a name such as addresses.ldif Use LDIF rather than CSV format!
    select a destination folder such as Documents
    click Save
    copy the file (addresses.ldif) to your new computer via disk, memory card, or even email!
    put the file in your Documents folder on the new computer (Win7)
    On your new computer, go to TB
    select Address Book
    from menu bar select Tools then Import
    click Address Books then Next
    highlight Text File (LDIF, ...)
    click Next
    select the folder (Documents) and file (addresses.ldif) and click Open
    the addresses will be imported
    success! click Finish
    Notes:
    The address book you import will take on the name of the file without the .ldif extension (e.g. addresses). You can rename the file before you import it. Just keep the .ldif extension.
    If you want more than one word in the name, use an underscore instead of a space (e.g. Personal_Contacts). Don't use spaces! They really complicate things.

  • How do I transfer my memos and passwords from my Verizon Blackberry Storm 2 to my VErizon Iphone 4S?

    I purchased the new Iphone 4S and have successfully transferred my contacts list and setup my email account.  I would like to transfer my memos from Memo Pad and my passwords from Password Keeper on my Verizon Blackberry Storm 2 to my new Verizon IPhone 4S.  How do I transfer my memos and passwords from my Verizon Blackberry to my Verizon Iphone?  Thanks.

    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer, which is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Select the same under the Info tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync and the contacts in the supported address book application on your computer which are also available on your iPhone will be transferred to your iPad.
    Photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. After the photos are imported by your computer and placed in a designated folder or album on your computer, select this album or folder under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes along with any other photos on your computer that you want transferred to your iPad followed by a sync.

  • How can I import my .mac address book from online to my computer?

    My macbook was stolen last week, and I am now using an older iBook that we had, but I haven't been able to retrieve my mail address book from the backups I was making. I have most of the contacts in my address book when using .mac web-based email, but not on my computer. I am afraid to turn on syncing because I don't want my computer to erase all the addresses stored online. How can I reverse sync, and get my online address book to import to my computer?
    Thanks.

    go to 'system prefernces > .Mac > advanced > reset sync data'
    Then choose to replace everything on your compu with .Mac data. (Back up before you begin! or is there really nothing to back up, then don't bother of course)
