Moving contacts from 3GS to 4S

My (AT&T) iPhone 4S just arrived. The card says to make sure that I "move contacts" before activating but it doesn't tell me how to do that. If I back up the 3GS in iTunes will the Contacts carry over when I sync the 4S? Thanks for the help.

  • Moving Contact From A Group.

    I have set up several Groups in my iPhone but some of my contacts are in "inappropriate" groups.
    How can I move a contact from one group to another without deleting and retyping?

    How did you set up the Groups on your iPhone?
    Are you syncing contacts with the Address Book application on your Mac?
    If so, place the contact in the appropriate Group in the Address Book on your Mac and then sync.

    I still have a Blackberry Pearl as my phone but have just upgraded to a Macbook Air as my laptop (from using a PC).
    Any advice on how I move my contacts from the Pearl to the Air ?
    And will I be able to regularly synch the two (as I did with my old PC)?
    Cheers, Baz

  • Moving contacts from nokia 6300 to Iphone 4

    hi,
    sorry if I'm making a new discussion uneccessarily but I can't find an adequate solution on the internet at the moment, so any advice would be much appreciated. I'm trying to move my contacts from my nokia 6300 to my iphone 4. I'm running a pc on windows xp with the latest Itunes (11.1.3), Iphone has latest os.
    I have used the nokia pc suite to 'syncronise' my contacts to my default windows address book so they are on my computer but I'm stuck on the second step from computer to Iphone. I was planning to plug in my Iphone and sync my contacts across by some button on under the 'info' tab in Itunes.. but itunes says 'your contacts are being synced with your Iphone over the air from Icloud. over-the-air settings can be changed on your Iphone'. my problem is that i am not using The Icloud, I've triple in my settings.
    I was using this video on youtube for help but got stuck 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAuEeOGduHk' but got stuck at 0:45
    any solutions for my specific problem or any completely different way would be more than helpful.
    thanks

    Ok I managed it, so in case anyone else has a similar problem and sees this, here are the steps.
    1. In your Contacts section of the Nokia, Options>Mark>Mark All.
    2. Options>Manage>Phone to Memory Card.
    3. Now your memory card has your contacts in .vcf format.
    4. Connect via data cable to Macbook.
    5. Once the icon shows up (Takes 10-15 secs), open it and under Other, see the folder Contacts.
    6. Copy to desktop (or wherever)
    7. Disconnect data cable.
    8. Import into Address Book (Figure out how you wanna handle duplicates...merge, use old or use new) I chose Use New
    9. Plug in the Iphone, sync through Itunes.
    10. Done!

  • Moving contacts from iphone ...

    I've just got a new phone and want to transfer my contacts from my iphone to the new phone but can't work out how to move my contacts to the SIM card to transfer them.
    I tried synching my contacts to Yahoo via itunes but it only synched the contacts from the SIM not the phone.
    I don't have outlook on my laptop.
    Help!

    The iPhone does not support storing contacts on the SIM card which is very limited to a name and a couple of phone numbers and maybe an email address for each contact.
    The iPhone supports syncing contacts with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express with XP and by Windoze Mail with Vista and Windoze 7 called Windoze Contacts.
    Before syncing contacts with Windoze Contacts if Windoze Contacts is empty and not being used, enter one contact in Windoze Contacts before the first sync for this data. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data with Windoze Contacts which you want to accept.

  • Moving contacts from excel to cellolar

    Hello,
    I have a new nokia 6120. I saved the contact names of my old phone in excel file. I want to update the contacts from the excel to the new phone. I tried using the nokia pc suite but I couldn’t find the option of loading contacts from excel.
    Is it possible?
    Please Advice
    Amir

    Whilst in outlook go to:
    import & export > import from another program or file > comma separated value file (windows) > Next and then browse for your file and follow through the prompts.
    There is also an option to import from excel, this may work better.
    It won't work if your data is incorrectly formatted, i'm not an expert on this so you will have to give google a try.

  • Moving Contacts from I-Pod back to Computer

    I recently purchased a new MacPro. I no longer have access to my "old" Address Book on the old computer. Is there some way that I can move my contacts from my I-Pod Classic back to the new computer or do I have to establish all my contacts manually again in the new computer? Will a simple synch of the I-Pod to the new computer transfer all of my contacts to my new MacPro?

    1. Make sure iPod is set up to be used as an external hard disk.
    2. Connect iPod to your computer. The iPod appears as a hard disk on your desktop or in a Finder window.
    3. Open the iPod hard disk.
    4. Open the folder named "Contacts".
    5. Find the vCard for the contact you want.
    6. Drag the vCard to the desktop.

  • Help: Moving contacts from old to new account

    how can l move contacts from old account to new

    Hello,
    This greying-out of your iPod's songs are due to what setting you are on in iTunes.
    Go to "Edit -> Preferences -> iPod". Under the "music" tab, there will be three selectinos of options:
    Automatically update ALL songs
    Automatically updater SELECTED songs
    Manually manage songs
    From your description of this issue, you are on one of the "automatic" settings. To un-grey your iPod's songs in iTunes, change that setting to "manually manage music" instead of automatic".
    If any post is helpful or solves your issue, please mark it that way, this makes it clearer to other users what solved your issue, and encourages others to help each other on here. Thank You!
    I hope this answers the question,

  • Moving Contacts from Documents Folder

    I want to create a folder specifically for my contacts in my Documents folder, but I really dont want to mess any thing up with my adress book. If I move them to a new folder inside the documents do I have to reset anything or will anything get messed up?

    Address Book will tend to get its contacts from ~/Library/Application Support/Address Book. If you want to store your contact data elsewhere, you'll need to create an alias in ~/Library/Application Support.

  • Moving contacts from another hdd

    my old hdd crashed corrupt registry .i have reinstalled on another drive, i can access some files but where can i copy my contacts from? c: program files mozilla firefox .........?

    Unless he had other contacts on the SIM, contacts come from Live (Hotmail), Exchange, Facebook or LinkedIn. So he might want to sign on to those other accounts.

  • Moving contacts from Outlook 2007 to Mac Address Book

    Hello all,
    I've tried to email VCard attachments of contacts from an Outlook 2007 / Exchange Server account so I can import them into my MAC Address Book. When I look at my sent folder in Outlook, the attachment shows a VCF attachment. When I pick up the email on my MAC using Mail, the attachment always comes back as WinMail.dat which the Address Book doesn't recognize.
    Furthermore, I've tried sending the VCard to a Yahoo email address and download the attachment. That worked fine.
    Was wondering if someone could help me isolate where the issue may be. Thanks.

    If Outlook Express provides for exporting contacts in vCard format, you can send all contacts as vCard attachments to a message sent to an email account you access with the Mail.app. Save the vCard attachments from the message to a created folder on the Desktop and then use the Address Book import feature selecting vCards.
    If OE does not provide for exporting contacts in vCard format, it should provide for exporting contacts as a tab-delimited text file.
    The Tiger Address Book includes a Text File import selection/option.
