HT201269 how to transfer contacts to iphone from old device

My old device has no service available and my new apple Iphone 5 s is up and running.  How can I get all my contacts from the old phone

It depends on what your old phone is. Did it have ability to send contacts to a computer or to sync them with something like Google? If all else fails you should be able to take both phones to your cellular provider and have them transfer the contacts to the iPhone sim. The following has instructions on how to import them into the phone once they have been transferred to the sim. iPhone: Understanding SIM cards

    How to transfer contacts and massages from iphone to computer?

    Hi, Shahmeer23c
    iCloud is useful for a lot of things and backing up your iPhone's data is one of them. Included in the data and files that you can safely keep using iCloud are your contacts. The following instructions detail how to transfer contacts from iPhone to computer.
    Step 1. On your iPhone, tap on Settings. On the "Settings" menu, select "iCloud". You will then be taken to the iCloud Settings.
    Step 2. Enable the "Contacts" setting and should you be informed that you'll have to merge your contacts to iCloud, tap "Merge".
    Step 3. Now on your computer, go to iCloud.com and login with your iCloud credentials.
    Step 4. Once you're logged in, click on the Contacts icon to access your address book and all iCloud features for the contacts you've uploaded.
    Step 5. In the address book, click on the cog icon at the lower-left portion, click "Select All", and "Export vCard" afterwards. 
    Step 6. iCloud will then give you a vCard that you can store on your computer. It contains all the contacts you've uploaded to iCloud using your iPhone.

  • How to transfer iBooks books & PDFs from old iPad to new iPad?

    (Well, it seems my title got truncated; originally it read: How to transfer iBooks books & PDFs from old iPad to new iPad?)
    I've recently gotten an iPad Air to replace my previous iPad 2. I have a bunch of books and PDFs in iBooks on the old iPad, and want to transfer them to the new iPad.
    A search of Apple Support informs me that anything I've purchased from iBooks can be downloaded at any time to any of my devices (works like Amazon's Kindle system, apparently), but nearly all the content I have in iBooks on the iPad I've downloaded from other sources, so it won't be in my iBooks Store account (I might have bought one book there).
    I've also seen several instructions on how to copy all my data from the old iPad to the new via Backup & Restore, but that seems to require restoring the new iPad to factory setup, which would delete everything I have on it now – including a bunch more books I've gotten since I started using the new iPad. And I don't want to copy everything, only the books/PDFs (the new iPad has everything I want, except for the books).
    Since there seems to be no way to transfer files directly from one iPad to the other, it seems it must be done via iTunes on my MacBook Pro (and I want to copy all the books/PDFs to the computer anyway). So I connected the iPad 2 to my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.4) and opened iTunes (11.3.1). Then clicked on the iPad's name in the sidebar to the left, and on Books below it. I see a list of the books on the iPad. I check the little boxes by all their names to select them (not sure if that's necessary, but it seems like a good idea), then click on the Sync button at the lower right, to the right of the bar at the bottom of the window with colored bands showing memory usage on the iPad. A message appears saying "The app 'iBooks' was not installed on the iPad '[name]' because the app could not be found."
    But iBooks is already on the iPad; I have it open and see the list of books in it, which matches the list shown in iTunes. The message has a "More Information" button; I click that and it opens an Apple Support article titled "iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open": "Learn what to do if you see one of these issues with an app you downloaded from the App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: The app unexpectedly quits; The app stops responding; You can’t open the app." But none of these apply; the iBooks app is on the iPad, and works fine there.
    The article suggests: (1) Restart the App. I've done that, no help. (2) Restart your device. Done that, no help. (3) Update your device software and your apps. The iPad is running iOS 6.1.3, iBooks 3.1.3; not the latest versions, no, but I'd rather not update it to newer, bigger, more power-hungry versions if I don't have to. Is it that iTunes 11 doesn't work with iOS 6? I haven't seen this stated anywhere.
    So instead I click the OK button on the message, but nothing further happens, so far as I can tell: None of the books/PDFs on the iPad (about 380MB) appear in iBooks on the MacBook Pro.
    I click on "Books" in the row of words across the top of the iTunes window, and it shows me the single PDF presently in iBooks on the MacBook Pro. I click the box by "Sync Books", and a message appears: "Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones from this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?" Well, no, that's exactly what I DON'T want to do. I don't want to erase the 380MB of books and PDFs on the iPad and replace them with the single PDF now in iBooks on the MacBook Pro. I want to copy the books from the iPad 2 to iTunes, so I can copy them back to the new iPad Air (if, God willing, I can figure out how to do that without erasing the books now on the iPad Air).
    I've been working with Macintosh computers for over 26 years. It's always been a fairly simple process to copy files from one computer to another. I don't want to "sync" all the data (address book, email, God knows what else) on the iPad with the corresponding information on the MacBook Pro – especially if that will erase everything on the iPad (which has information not on the MacBook Pro, e.g. 380MB of books). I just want to copy the books and PDFs in iBooks from the old iPad to the MacBook Pro, then to the new iPad, adding them to the books on the new iPad, so I don't lose anything.
    Can anybody give me a clue?

    Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

  • How to transfer contacts to 5s from samsung s4

    Purcahsed new 5s. Would like to transfer contacts and messages from samsung S4

    You need to get the contacts to something compatible with the iPhone. Were you using anything on the computer to handle contacts? Are they saved in Google Mail? If so, you can sync them from that to the iPhone. There is information in the Google help about doing that.

  • How to transfer contacts and pictures from iPhone to iPad

    I am trying to transfer my contacts and pictures from my iphone 5s to a new ipad air, tried doing it in the icloud by that doesnot work for some reason

    If the music was purchased from iTunes then you should be able to copy them over to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases if you have iTunes 11 on your computer). If the music came from other sources and you don't have a copy of them anywhere else, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which might be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    For photos taken with the phone then on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard, and on a Mac you can use Image Capture, iPhoto or Aperture : copying photos. To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • HOW TO TRANSFER CONTACTS AND MESSAGES FROM 3G TO 3GS

    I BOUGHT NEW 3GS 2012 MODEL 8GB , AND WANT TO TRANSFER MY CONTACTS AND MESSAGES FROM MY OLD 3G 8GB TO NEW 3GS.
    OLD 3G IS NOT SUPPORTING TO I CLOUD. HOW CAN I GET ALL MY CONTACTS AND MESSAGES IN NEW 3GS?
    THANKS IN ADVANCE

    Can you try first backing up your 3G with iTunes (I guess synching also does this) and then restoring your new 3GS using this backup.
    Note that this might delete all other data you have in your new 3GS (if any) and replace it with the data you have in 3G. This might also lower the version of your OS in your 3GS, however you should be easily update the OS if restore becomes successful.

  • Not sure how to transfer/save ALL data from old SIM card to new iPhone

    1) How can I save/keep/transfer all Messages and Notes when I put my SIM card into a new iPhone? 
        I have done that but only some of the Messages and Notes are there on new phone.
    2)  Also/or:  are all Messages and Notes saved on my Mac whenever I Sync / Update it? 
         And if so, WHERE on my computer do I find them? 
    *  The Apple site says to be sure to Sync phone "to keep all data" (of course) but I want to make sure that includes        ALL Notes and Messages and know where to find them on my computer to truly save and access them. 
    *  I have a 4S and the newer 4S with Siri.  I am going to give the 4S to a daughter and keep the 4S with Siri.
    3) Will the Genius Bar people help me with this if I can't myself, or do I need to go to AT&T (gag)?
    I need simplest of explanations and steps to follow, please!
    Many thank yous,

    So it must store phone basic stuff, I guess.  I'll have to look into that.

  • How to transfer contacts & text messages from 6230...

    I have recently bought a 5230 Navi and also transferred from Virgin to 3 because the phone I bought, via eBay, although brand new and never used was locked to 3 and apparently the 5230 is difficult to get unlocked other than through 3.
    Can anyone give me a step by step procedure for the easiest and quickest way to transfer my contacts and text message from my old phone to my new phone.
    I tried to do a backup with Nokia Phone Suite but it didn't seem to write my contacts or messages to it's file.
    Thanks

    Just try it.. Even if the old phone does not have it; when you start 'Phone Switch' it will prompt you that the old phone does not have it but do you want to send the application to the old phone? ...and  when you select 'yes' the application is sent thru' sms... and you may be able to install it on the old phone and perform the switch... ( your old phone should atleast be compatible for this though...)
