transfer my address book and photos from my nokia to my iPhone?

You need to transfer the contacts and photos from the Nokia to your Mac (via Bluetooth or USB cable), import the contacts into Address Book and the photos into iPhoto and then sync them to the iPhone via iTunes.

Did you create these notes in the iPad notes App ... I assume?
This support article will explain how you can restore from a backup - which is what you have to do in order to have any chance of recovering your note.
How to backup and restore from a backup
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
But you have to remember, that you will lose any of the notes that you have taken since the date of the last backup. If you synced your iPad last week, then you will lose a whole week of current notes - or whatever notes you have created since your last backup. When you restore from a backup - you restore everything in that backup onto the iPad - that was on the iPad on the time and date of the backup.
If you backup every day, then all of your notes should be recoverable from the backup - except for any notes that you took since you last backed up. There is no foolproof way to recover everything once you start taking more notes or creating new documents or whatever that you do in an app unless you are syncing those notes with iCloud and backing up all of the time or unless the app is set to sync with iCloud as you work on the files - like in Pages, Numbers or Keynote - Apple's iWorks apps.
If you decide to restore from an iTunes backup you should turn off at sync before you try restoring because iTunes will want to backup your iPad right away when you plug it in and you will lose your old or last backup.

Moving Mail, Address Book and Keychains from Old Computer to New Computer

My issue: Moving mail, address book and keychains from Panther (old machine) to Leopard (new machine). Old machine (500mh G4 power pc) will not connect directly via firewire to new machine (iMac intel). So, I have to move the files manually via a firewire hard drive.
I am looking for a document that will tell me exactly which files to move. Can someone please help me find this document? Thank you. Dale
P.S. I have no issues with installing Leopard. I only need to move the mail, address book and keychains from old to new machine. No .mac account is available.

for address book: go to your old mac, launch ab, and go to file>export and export your contacts as vcards, select all cards before that, then bring that export file to the new mac, and launch ab there, then go to file>import as vcards and you should be set as far as contacts are, but not as far as groups if you have extensive groups. that would be the safe option. the other option is to go to homefolder/library/application support/address book and move that folder to the new mac. the only question i have is... is the database structure and files the same between panther and leopard, which is why i suggest the first option of import/export of vcards.
for mail, in your old panther go to homefolder/library/mail and move that mail folder to the new mac. make a copy of that folder, then move one copy to the same location in the new mac.
for keychain, in your old panther go to homefolder/library/keychain, you want to bring the file that is in that folder to your new mac. make a copy of that folder, then move one copy to the same location in the new mac.
once that is done, you may have to do some more steps with mail, once you launch mail, such as importing mailboxes. let me know if that is the case.
hope this helps

Trying to import address books and templates from old Netscape Communicator 4.8 to Thunderbird. What old version of Thunderbird to use ( new version wont do

Been using Communicator 4.8 for years. Working fine had no reason to change. But now security settings wont work with yahoo pop server.
Want to import my address books and templates to thunderbird.
New version of Thunderbird 31.0 doesn't have import for communicator that old. Earlier versions do.
Figured I'd use old version of thunderbird to import and then update thunderbird to 31.00
Tried thunderbird 3.0 which has importer for 4.73 but getting error message that it is having trouble. Anyone know last version of thunderbird that had netscape 4.8 importer ? Thought maybe a later version would be able to import and then update to newest thunderbird.
Thanks

1 - there is no importing involved - you NEVER import an iPhoto library into another iPhoto library
2 - you have to run programs after you download them - go to your applications folder ==> utilities and launch the library upgrader -- Then launch iPhoto to complete the upgrade

HT4946 How do I transfer apps and photos from my ipad to my iPhone?

I just bought a new iPhone5 after my other putting my other phone the the washing machine! How do I get my apps and pictures from my ipad to my iphone. I was not able to save anything from my other ohone.

Using the same apple ID with both devices opens them up to share apps and data. There are some limits, for example some iPad apps are iPad only, they literally won't work on the iPhone due to the phone's limited resolution.

How do I download my music and photos from existing iPad to new iphone

How do I download music and photos from existing iPad to new iphone

Perform a backup to iTunes from the old device and then a restore to the new device, use ITunes to do this. BTW, always sync photos to a computer to store them safely (use iPhoto on a mac or to a designated folder on a PC). Never trust an iOS device to keep photos without having them synced to a computer.

I'm switching from pc to Mac, is there a way to transfer all my music and photos from my pc to Mac book pro, I also have a hard drive will it open files from my pc

Can I transfer music photos from my old pc to my new Mac, plus I have a hard drive that is Mac compatible but all the stuff is from my pc will it transfer

Yes, the Mac can read NTFS drives, but not write to them.
If you have the drive formatted FAT or exFAt then the Mac can read and write to it. But before formatting, remove the data as it's erased, and format it on the PC as it's easier. Right click on Windows and Format.
Drives, partitions, formatting w/Mac's + PC's
Moving your personal data via the external drive is likley the best option, there are other methods like Migration, but they are problematic and take a long time, a drive is simple, fast and direct.

Transfer of Address Book, Mail, Bookmarks (From Tiger)

Hi Gang
I'm finally thinking about going with Leopard. Although I've been quite satisfied with Tiger, but I hear constantly that Leopard will run smoother, even on an older 1.8 G5 Single Processor?
Anyway, about backing up my old mail, bookmarks, and address book, from Tiger;
~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist - com.apple.mail.plist - etc.
Can you guys tell me if I might have any problems copying and pasting these where they're supposed to go? And can you tell me please which ones exactly I need to save/backup? Mail, (both in and sent), Safari Bookmarks, and Address Book.
Thank You
Mike

I suggest you do this:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions as follows:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Make a bootable backup of your Tiger system just in case:
How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the drive to which you will restore or backup.
Source means the drive you are restoring from or backing up.
3. Install Leopard by doing an Archive and Install and checking the option to preserve users and network settings:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.
Since your Home folder will be transferred to the newly install Leopard system all you need do is open Mail, iCal, etc. and they should import your data automatically.

Transferring my contacts, itunes music, apps, address book, and pics from my iphone to my new MacBook Pro

I bought a new MacBook Pro 4 months ago, had some issues with it, brought it to Best Buy Geek Squad and they . Now I would like to sync my iphone 4 with my computer. However, when I go to do that a message appears that says the computers current information will transfer to the iphone. Well there isn't anything on my computer and so I am afraid if I follow through with it my iphone will lose everything. I am mainly concerned about my address book, itunes and pictures. Is there any way for me to transfer from the iphone to the MacBook Pro?
My husband also has an iphone. I'd like to be able to also sync itunes with his phone but not the contacts. Any suggestions?

You might want to ask your question in the iPhone forum - https://discussions.apple.com/community/iphone/using_iphone.
While all of us here have MacBook Pros, not everyone (including myself!) have an iPhone.
Then again, some MBP/iPhone user may come along with an answer to your question... but I'd post it in the iPhone forum were I you.
Good luck,
Clinton

Importing address book and emails from a PC to a Mac

I would like to get my address book contents from Outlook Express into my Mac Pro's Mail address book.
Is there some easy way to do this? I'm on OSX 1.5.2.
Also, is it possible to copy over my sent items folder from Outlook Express into the Mac?
I have a lot of saved emails in OE that I will need to have access to from the Mac, and I would also like to avoid having to manually redo my entire address book.
Are Safari and Mail the best apps to use on a Mac for email and internet, or should I install something else?
Should I just forget the whole thing and install Win XP on the Mac so that I can use my OE stuff?
Thanks a lot for any advice.

I had no problems by installing Thunderbird on my PC first, and then importing all of my Outlook data into Thunderbird. I then located and made a copy of the Thunderbird Mail file, which I moved to my Mac. I installed Thunderbird on my Mac, and imported the file I moved from the PC. I was then able to use the resulting mail file in Mac's Mail.
It's been several months ago, and my details might not be exact...however, a little bit of messing with it will definitely get the job done. I had about 10 years of data to move.
Regarding contacts, I think I exported a comma delimited file from the PC, which I was able to import into Mac's Address book....it wasn't difficult. Good luck! Bill

Im trying to transfer music, selected files and photos from Macbook Pro to Air

I need a fast and easy method to transfer ... any help is appreciated

First, we aren't Apple, just users trying to help users. Second, it is very common for new users to misunderstand what Migration Assistant does. It does not copy files from your previous computer to your new computer. It copies entire accounts. If you open the System Preferences and select the Users & Groups tab, you should find the account that Migration Assistant copied. Log into it and you'll find your files there.

How do I transfer contacts details and photos from my NOKIA N70 to ibook G4

I have installed an external bluetooth unit to my ibook through the USB port, as it didn't have it fitted originally, and it seems to be set up correctly. I've then tried using isync to transfer files from my phone, but it doesn't even give me the option of transfering files (it is greyed out). The only option it gives me is to use my phone to access the internet. I've also tried using the bloothooth file transfer software to send stuff and it doesn't work. Is this because my phone is somehow incompatible with the bluetooth unit I bought, or my ibook - or am I just doing something wrong????
ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi Sacha' !
Thank you for your answer to my ipad question.
I was able to transfer my contacts, notes, calendar . . . etc., once I connected to Yahoo.
The info you gave me would be good, except that I don't use iCloud as it filled up the free 5GB on my iPhone
and then kept asking me to "buy more storage".
One day I may try to utilize the cloud, but now that I seem to have all my info from my iPhone transferred to my new iPad
I think I am good.
Thanks again !
Michael (mmeieio)

I just replaced the hard drive on myn Macbook pro and am now trying to import my address book and calendar from the cloud but have not ben successful

I am seeking how to bring my data from the cloud to my laptop after having had the hard drive replaced

Open System Preferences > ICloud

iCloud should sync your data automatically.
