Moving contacts from one account to another

On my iPhone address book I have set 3 groups: iCloud, Yahoo (which I use for e-mail) and Facebook.
For some reason my Yahoo account was set as default account for new contacts. How can I move all of my new contacs I already saved from one group to the iCloud All Contacts group?

You can export them to a csv file from yahoo and import them to icloud on icloud.com

How to move contacts from one account to another

I have 2 exchange accounts configured in my iPhone, one Corp exchange account and one personal exchange account, both have Contacts sync enabled.
I noticed somehow all of new created Contacts are under Corp account, these Contacts do not show up on my iPad / Mac which only have personal account.
How can I move the selected Contacts from Corp account to personal account?
How can I choose which account to use when I create a new Contact?
Thanks

I can answer your second question but I share your problem related to the first question.
In answer to your second question:
To make sure that new contacts go into the desired account:
1.     Go to Settings
2.     Select "Mail, Contacts, Calendars"
3.     Scroll down to "Contacts"
4.     Select the last item in the group, "Default Account"
5.     A list of the accounts on your iPad will appear. Select the account that you want to use for your new contacts.
If you solve the problem of moving existing contacts from one account to another, I'd love to hear about it.

Moving photos from one account to another

Hello.
I have just set up a separate user account for my little girl. Is is possible to transfer photos from my photo library in iPhoto into hers? I've tried copying some pictures to my shared file but when I tried to import them into her iPhoto it said the files weren't recognised.
Will I have to put them on a CD instead?
Thank you for any advice.
Rachel

Locate the photo library in the Finder, and then open the Terminal in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder. Enter the following:
chmod -R 777
followed by a space. Drag the folder into the Terminal window, press Enter, and then quit the Terminal. Next, use the insructions in this article to move the entire iPhoto library to the /Users/Shared/ folder, followed by doing the same thing from her account.
Alternatively, try these instructions if you haven't already to export the photos to the /Users/Shared/ folder, and then reimport them on her account.
A third option is to use this application to create a second library with only the photos you want her to have, and then transfer it to her account using the instructions posted above.

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!

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!

Moving Contacts From One Trophy To Another

Hi...I am IT Director for a small business. I put all of our sales force on HTC Trophy's for the ease of use and they like them.
One sales person broke his screen and we are replacing the phone. I assumed his contacts synced with hotmail but he only has 5 contacts in his hotmail. So, I tried an import from the old SIM card and nothing. So beyond him using another @live or @hotmail account that he cannot recall, any idea how to find his old contacts? This old phone is totally unuseable right now until repaired but for now, we need to get his contacts into his new phone and the hotmail address he provided and the old SIM do not hold them.
Thanks!
Brian

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 Apps from One Account to Another

When I moved to my new job I got a new phone. Not being sure what to do I set up a new BB Id with my new e-mail. Now I can't get my apps from my old account. How can I move those apps from my old account to my new one without having to pay for them again?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
It is a matter of using that old BB ID...apps cannot transfer between BB IDs, but BB IDs can transfer between devices, carrying along their purchase records.
To re-install your apps, please see this KB:
KB17625 How to install or transfer previously purchased applications from BlackBerry App World to a BlackBerry smartphone
Given that you've already created a new BB ID on the new device, you may also need this KB:
KB26694 How to change the BlackBerry ID on a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet or BlackBerry smartphone
I'm sorry that the process will be so cumbersome, but it is what it is.
Cheers!

Moving playlists from one account to another

Hey,
I'm on my admin account right now, and my iTunes is set up on there. I want to switch to a user account and have the same playlist (with ratings and play count intact).
Where is the playlist file stored so I can just copy and paste it?
(All my songs are on an external drive)

Thanks, this worked.
And for anyone else doing this in the future:
1. Copy the iTunes Library file from Music/iTunes into your Shared folder.
2. Change the permissions using chmod. I used 'chmod a+rwx thefile'. You need to change the permissions or iTunes won't let you load it in your other account.
3. Replace the iTunes Library file in Music/iTunes in your new account with this one.

Moving iPhotos from one account to another via "Shared" folder

Every once in awhile, I like to share photos between accounts on the same iMac, so that my wife can use some of the pictures. Lately, if I put them in the "Share" folder on the HD, they come out NOT useable in the other account. They are usually in jpeg format, but my wife's account gets a "corrupted" message.
What am I doing wrong? Is there another way to transfer the pictures?
thanks, Barry

thanks again

With ios 7 I am not seeing an option to move a contact from one account to another

I have both a work Exchange account and a Gmail exchange account set up on my iPhone. I have Gmail set as my default for Contacts, but when I create contacts for work I would like them to go to my work Exchange account. When creating or editing a contact there does not appear to be an option to select a different account, it automatically goes in the default. It is possible to move calendar items to other accounts than the default, why not contacts? Am I missing something?

I suspect you are not using 10.6.8 as the Utility would be 100x more useful.
Connect the second TC to a computer with nothing else and set it to bridge mode.. then plug it into the first TC.. whenever you plug two routers into each other without first changing their IP addressing you will have conflict.

Tracking amount moved from one account to another in General ledger

Hi,
I have a doubt in GL.
If we post a batch, the amount may be transferred between many accounts. How to find the total amount moved from one account to another after journal posting?
Regards,

You can do it from your activeSync form:
        
        <Field name='waveset.organization'>
            <Disable>
                <neq>
                    <ref>waveset.organization</ref>
                    <s>Top:Global:Users</s>
                </neq>
            </Disable
            <Derivation>
                <s>Top:Local:Users</s>
            </Derivation>

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.

Transferring email addresses from one account to another

I'm not sure if this is a good place to post this but after spending a good bit of time on the phone with FiOS customer service and technical support I just feel like venting my frustrations and hope that maybe someone could give me a valid explanation of why this cannot be done.
To give a brief (hopefully) summary of what's going on...
My wife and I are currently in the process of moving from Florida to Maryland because of the current job market and economy situation. As always...the moving process has been a "blast". For at least a few months we will be "between" homes and will be staying with friends. Because of this we had to cancel our FiOS service (which I did last week and it will be shutting off sometime today). Since we've been very please with the actual service FiOS provides we have (or maybe I should say "had") every intention of signing back up with Verizon once we're in a new home in the Maryland area.
So here's where the trouble comes into play...I contacted Verizon to see if it would be possible to somehow transfer our existing Verizon.net email addresses from our account to my friend's account (the person I'm staying with). You would've thought I was asking for a year's worth fo free service. Initially I was told by customer service that this can't be done. They explained that an email address is like a phone number and two separate accounts cannot have the same email address. Thanks for the newsflash! I explained again that what I wanted to do was move my email addresses so they would now be associated with my friends account. This didn't seem like such a horrible request considering my friend pays for FiOS service and with that gets 9 available email addresses....and was only using 2 of them. She ultimately just told me it was something that couldn't be done. But she did inform me of the "Verizon Your Domain" service that would allow current FiOS subscribers to associate their Verizon.net email account with a new domain name that you create. It would cost $20 per year and would allow you to keep your Verizon.net email if you canceled FiOS service. This sounded like an ok option.
But still -- I was curious why I couldn't transfer email addresses. So I then contacted technical support. This time it was explained to me that an email address was like a social security #. It couldn't just be given to another person. Great analogies in use at Verizon....I give them that. I told the guy I was a fellow "techie" and asked him for a more detailed explanation. That's when it got good. That's what killed me. He spent all this time talking about ACL's and routing and how email addresses couldn't be moved because "you're talking about 2 million addresses". Long and short he was trying to say the Verizon email system was just too complex. Finally I told him that it had to be something that could be done....and his exact words were "well sure it can be done...but we're not going to do it if you're not paying for a service". Wow! Great response! I've been a paying customer of FiOS for about two years. I've had some form of service with Verizon for about 15 years (from phone service to mobile service with V-Wireless). I fully understand that I'm no longer paying for FiOS service. But my friend is. And he has 7 email accounts he's not using. So why couldn't they be moved? Because the system is too complex? Give me a break. Like this guy finally admitted...it boils down to money.
Finally I gave up. I told my wife that we'd just have to deal with switching to a new email address. Life will move on. She wanted to try the "Verizon Your Domain" option though. She started doing the process online...had some questions....and decided to call customer service. She got transferred around to three different people...the last of which told her "you need to call a different department" and then CLICK.
Great, great job Verizon. All I ask is if someone could give me some sort of response that makes sense. If you just don't want to offer the transfer option then tell me.
I expect to be in a new home within a month or two. And suddenly Comcast is looking very good.

Well, CS was right when they said that Verizon cannot transfer your email to another account. In order to do that they would have to overwrite the email of your friend ( I dont think your friend would apreciate that ). This is due to a limitation on the email system.
However, you may have another option. If you are going to be getting Verizon service again in the realitivly near future (4-8 weeks or so), Then after your acount is closed, contact tech support. If you get the right agent they will "enable" your email. That way you can continue to use it even though you dont have service any more. Now they cant do this for long but for temporary it can be done. Then once you get your service back, they can then move your existing email to your new account. (this can now be done as they will overwrite your new email with your old).
Now if your going to be without Verizon service for more than a couple months, you may be out of luck but this is one option
umm, oh bhoy!
In fact, a "repoint" of an email address CAN be completed onto another account AND it does not overwrite anything on the receiving account.    Each acount, whether its a FiOS account or a copper account, has an account number. The email address is assigned to the account number.    The email address can be "repointed" from one account to another, as an 'add-on' to the new account, then it can be 'repointed' back to another account later.    HOWEVER, the contract does say that you must have a valid account. AND, Verizon cannot (no company can) allow you to manipulate someone else's account.
as to the "after your acount is closed, contact tech support. If you get the right agent they will "enable" your email", well, the fact is that the account has to be provisioned to an address. So, though I have come accross accounts that seemed to still be "on" after the listed close date, it was not something that verizon's tier 1 tech support can effect (that's who you get on the phone when you call tech support) (note that 'sales' could not do this for you, either)   So good luck with that.
What happens is that Verizon will not allow anyone to take your email addresses for at least 6 months.
Before you cancelled you may have had an option to have a notice auto-replied to any email that gets sent to your email address, for a limited amount of time, like they can do with a telephone number ("this number has been changed to . . . . . ") that "this email address is temporarily suspended, or something. . . . I said MAY have had the opportunity. .. .   but if it was me, I would get to where you are going and make sure they have Verizon internet account already   and have them call verizon tech support (so they can verify their account info) with you standing there so that you can verify your old account info and immediately and plainly ask if you can have an email "repoint" done for you.

How can I transfer my contacts from one group to another?

I have recently discovered that most of my personal contacts have been synced with my work's MS Outlook. This brings two issues to me if I ever had to change jobs and hand over my laptop - 1) My personal contacts will be shared with an unauthorised audience, 2) If they delete my account I will never have access to my own personal contacts as well.
I tried to see how I can transfer contacts from one group to another but I can't seem to get the hang of it. Can anyone help, please? All I need to do is associate the contacts that have been associated with my work's email account to one of my personal accounts.
Thank you in advance!

If you use an online syncing service for managing your contacts then you can simply clean up the contancts on one installation, and the changes should update on the second installation immediately. This will only work if you use iCloud, Gmail, or another service for storing your contacts.
