I have updated from IPhone 4 to Iphone 4S - how can I move my contacts from previous phone to IPhone 4S?

Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer, which is selected under the Info tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Sync your iPhone 4S with the same address book app on your computer as you were syncing the iPhone 4 with.

  • In contacts app how can I move a contact from one group to another group?

    I find I cannot move a contact from one group to another group. If I delete a contact from one group I delete that contact from my total contact population. I did not have this problem in earlier IOS versions. Can anyone help me?

    Thanks SO much, Barney.  How embarrassing, I could have sworn that I tried that first.
    I will definitely get them all moved over before I delete that account and I've already gone in & changed my preferences.  Several years ago, my husband I decided to share one calendar and one contacts list, using his mobile me account and it's been great for us.  I'm particularly thrilled to no longer serve as a human rolodex and I guess that I paniced a bit when I thought there might be a problem with our system.  I'm still confused where that "On my mac" account came from on the first place.  Do you suppose that was an automatic thing that came with the Mountain Lion upgrade?
    thanks again!

  • In contacts, how can I move a contact from one account to another?

    My husband and I have (happily) shared contacts for years and all of a sudden we realized that some contacts would show up on one of my devices, but not on his.  After looking at the issue more closely, we realized that I somehow now have (and do NOT want) an additional contacts account called "on my Mac" that has been inadvertently populated with 22 contacts.
    1)  How can I move those to our shared account?
             When that is complete,
    2)  How can I delete the account called "On my mac"?
    Thanks!

  • How can I move the contacts from my Samsung flip phone to my iphone 5S?

    I have a new iphone 5S to replace my iphone 4.  Due to a long story I can't back up my contacts from icloud or iTunes.  Is there a way that I can back up the contacts on my Samsung flip phone to the 5S?

    See if your carrier can do it for you. They often have machines (one of the brand names is Cellbrite) that you can hook the phones to and it will copy contacts from one to another.

  • How can i sync my contacts from galaxys to iphone 4s?, how can i sync my contacts from galaxys to iphone 4s?

    I jest bought a new Iphone, but I can not bleu tooth my contacts from galaxys, pls help!

    The iPhone does NOT support bluetooth file transfer.  You need to get your Galaxy contacts onto your computer in Address Book or Outlook, then synch your phone to that program.

  • HT4946 From the backup folder how can I move the images from there?

    I just backed up my iphone and I went into the back up folder but you cant save the images, how can I do this?

    You would need 3rd party software to extract photos from a backup.  Instead of doing that, just import them from the camera roll using your usb cable: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

  • HT201317 I have Icloud and photo's from Iphone go over How can I send photo's from my PC to the Icloud on my Ipad

    I don't know how to send my pictures from my PC to Icloud?

    Hello, subutler44.
    Thank you for the question.  Once you have installed the iCloud Control Panel for Windows, you enable Photo Stream.  This will add a folder called Photo Stream Uploads in My Pictures or Pictures.  From there, you will drag and drop photos that you would like in Photo Stream to the Uploads folder. 
    iCloud: Add photos to Photo Stream manually
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2606
    The article below will go over how to setup Photo Stream.  See the section labeled On a Windows computer.

  • HT204150 I restored my iphone last night and would i noticed that contacts in my icloud are not on my iphone...how can I get the contacts from the cloud to my iphone?

    I remotely wiped my iPhone on Saturday night...Sunday afternoon I restored my iPhone to settings from a while ago. I was not near a wifi to connect my phone to icloud. I noticed on icloud that there are contacts on the cloud that i would like to add to my phone. Is there a way now that I can add the contacts that are on cloud to my iphone?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Any contacts that are in iCloud will be restored to your phone when you sign back into iCloud and enable iCloud syncing.

  • HT4528 I have 3 iPhones, one Ipad, and two PC's that I have tried to "connect" using one iTunes account and am having issues.I connected iPhone #3 to one PC, it removed all contacts from iPhone #3, replaced w/ contacts from iPhone #2. How can I get back?

    I have 3 iPhones, one iPad and 2 PC's, all using the same iTunes account.  I want to be able to have each iPhone keep their own list of accounts and music list and the I pad different as well.  I want to 2 PC's music list to match.  How do I do this?
    Additionally, when I connected iPhone #3 to one PC, it removed the contacts from #3 and replaced it with contacts from iPhone #2.  How do I get those contacts back and prevent this from happening again?

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

    or here:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

    Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID.  If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud

  • HT4910 how can I import my contacts from my Iphone 5 device to the Icloud?

    how can I import my contacts from my Iphone 5 device to the Icloud?

    To get the contacts from your Hotmail and exchange accounts into iCloud, do the following:
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer from your external accounts you will need the “Pro” version.)  Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), and set this to iCloud.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your Hotmail and exchange accounts and turn off contacts syncing with with these accounts.  If you don't you will see duplicates of your contacts (one from the external account and one from iCloud).
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the external accounts back to your phone, and to iCloud.  Go to icloud.com to confirm they are there.

  • I have lost my iPhone 5. How can I get photos that are backed up on iCloud?

    Hello,
    I have lost my iPhone 5. How can I get photos that are backed up on iCloud?
    Thanks!

    I wish, essentially you have an image file of your personal information integrated with parts of IOS in the cloud server. If you had it on your computer - you could use one of the software extractors (bunch with google search, paid and free). From icloud server it can be restored to other iphone, ipod touch, ipad - then backed up or imported to computer for you. Then that other device can return to your friend or family member. That is the only way I can think of.
