Transfer contacts from android

One thing that it seems that nobody mentions or maybe the user doesn't hear is that when their device is set up by someone else - you should sync to iTunes as soon as you get to your computer - before you begin downloading apps, music, and so on.
Launch iTunes on your Mac. From the menu at the top go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and turn off auto syncing at the bottom of that window - check prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Quit iTunes.
Connect your iPad to your computer, start iTunes and click on your iPad name on the left side of the iTunes window under devices. Go to the menu at the top - File>Transfer Purchases from ... iPad. This should transfer all of the purchased content into your iTunes library.
You can elect to turn auto syncing back on if you want to do so. If you choose to not auto sync - you can also select to prevent iTunes from opening when your iPad is connected to your Mac in the info tab of iTunes when the iPad is connected to iTunes.
If you do erase the iPad - you can download the apps and music (available in the U.S.) again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID that you used to buy the content in the first place.

  • How do I transfer contacts from Android to iPhone 4s?

    I am trying to transfer my contacts from Android (Sony Xperia mini pro) to iPhone 4s, by using my google-account. However, it doesn't seem to work.
    I've added my google account as an exchange-account, and checked off the "syncronize contacts". But no contacts appear.
    When I log on to iTunes, under "info", I just do not get the option to check off the "Syncronize contacts from", there is no box to check, only for mail.
    Anyone know what to do? I really need my contacts!!

  • ITunes removed contacts from iPhone and will no longer sync

    iTunes 10 on OS X Lion removed all my contacts from my iPhone 3G and will no longer sync them. I had about 500 contacts, I'm not about to enter them manually. Now I have no idea who is calling or texting. This is absolutely ridiculous! There is absolutely no support!

    If iTunes will not sync contacts to your iPhone4...
    Go to
    Settings
    Main, contacts etc.
    scroll down to "Contacts"
    under "contacts you see a list. Choose the menu "Default Account"
    You will see a choice between "From My Mac" and "iCloud"...select "From my Mac"
    This solution worked for me!

  • Contacts on Mac and PC do not sync

    Hello, I have been using Skype on my Mac for some time and have a list of Contacts and Favourites. I now want to install it on a PC - downloaded the latest version and signed in but the list of Contacts and Favourites are different to those on my Mac. I would appreciate some help. Thanks

    Oh that fixed it. Maybe you also need to just update yours too

  • Why did my mail account suddenly erase all emails and now will not sync with my quickbooks?

    I have quickbooks for Mac and it syncs to my mail account with my laptop everytime I email an invoice or an estimate.  The other day I went to send an estimate and it will not allow me to send, receive or see any of my previous emails.  Anybody have a solution?  Also does anyone else think it is ridiculous that Apple does not provide any tech support unless you pay?  I just bought my Mac Book one year ago and have already had to replace my charger ($95) and now they are telling me they can't help me unless I pay $50....Um I find that crazy excessive considering I paid $2400.00 for my computer...... 
    Anyway, please help!

    Are yo trying to sync via wifi?
    If so:

  • How do i transfer contacts from a broken iphone to another?

    How do i transfer contacts from my iphone that will not turn on, to another working iphone?

    Hey dbricknr,
    If you signed into your device with an iCloud account and backed up your contacts through iCloud, the next time you go onto that new working iPhone be sure to sign in into your iCloud account.
    To do so, please follow perform these instructions on your iPhone:
    Settings > iCloud > You should see somewhere with an option to sign in, from there sign in. > Once you do that, go back to the iCloud settings page on your iPhone and make sure Contacts are on.
    Turning the contacts slide on should backup your new contacts you added on this phone, (If I'm correct)
    Your contacts should now appear in your contacts section.
    Hope this helps!

Run it on the two phones, then you can transfer all contacts from Sony to Samsung quickly.Alternatively, you can also transfer contacts from Android to Android with the helpful of one-click phone to phone data transfer tools.

  • How can I transfer contacts from an iPhone to a new iPad with another Apple-ID?

    How can I transfer contacts from my iPhone to a new iPad with another Apple-ID?

    You can't. Not directly anyway. You might be able to import them to your computer and then sync them to the iPad but there is no way to transfer them over the air or by connecting the two devices with a cable.
    I know absolutely nothing about apps like this, but I did a very quick Google search and found this.

  • Is there a way to transfer contacts from Mac Address Book to an iPhone?

    I tried posting this before but no one answered.  I dont currently have an iphone (or any smartphone).  I do have a Mac and I have my contacts in the Mac Address Book (not in an email client like Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail)
    I want to know if I get an iphone is there an easy way to transfer contacts (names, addresses, emails etc) and especially HOME/WORK/CELL Phone numbers from the Address Book on the Macbook Pro to the iphone.... 
    I would think there's a way to do that since both the Mac and the iphone are Apple products....but no one has been able to give me a straight answer on this...except to transfer contacts from Gmail but my contacts are not in Gmail
    So if I get an iphone (or probably any phone) do I have to manually enter all my contacts each time?  I thought that it would be easier with an iphone than an Android or other smartphone.

    I appreciate the link but wasnt really looking to go through a 100+ page iphone guide.  From what I saw, it said what other people have told me - which is it will sync contacts from Google (Gmail) or Yahoo...so that doesnt mean it will sync contacts directly from an Android phone's contact list.  All the manual said was you sync thru itunes.
    It looks like what I should do at some point is manually input all my contacts into a new "clean and unused" Gmail account...Unless there was an easy way to transfer my Mac Address Book to a Gmail Account.
    It seems like if you have contacts in a Gmail account, it will be easy to transfer anywhere.
    Im starting to wonder if an Android would be bette than an iphone anyway.  Considering the nightmare time Ive had with a Mac in just a few months, Im surprised Im even still considering another Apple product.
    Thanks

  • Asha 501 how to transfer contacts from Macbook

    Hi,
    did anybody find out about the best way to transfer contacts from MacBook's address book to the new Asha 501?
    I tried by bluetooth, however, whenever I try to open the Vcard with all my contacts only the first contacts starting with the letter "A" are copied.
    One work around would be to send my Vcard from the Mac by email to my phone and open the Vcard in my Asha 501. However, the Vcard with all my contacts is 4,6 MB big. I cannot open this attachement in my Asha 501. 
    Any tip appreciated. Thanks, J.
