Transfer address book etc from non iphone to new iphone

My old phone is a Motorola Razr2 . Any advice on how to do this is appreciated . I did use the search function and only came up with old iphone to new iphone using itunes.

Storing contacts on a SIM card is limited to a name and a couple of phone numbers and maybe one email address, that is it.
The iPhone's address book is full featured. For a contact it can include all phone numbers for a contact - office, fax, home, and cell, home address, work address, as many email addresses as a contact has, birthday, URL for a person's web page or business web page, Instant Messaging address, job title, anniversary, and a notes field.
This data can be synced with a supported address book application on your computer.
Not sure how having this information available for each contact complicates things, and there is no way to hide it.
Welcome to smart phone use, which is different from using a "dumb" phone.

I upgraded to 10.7.4, to upgrade to iCloud. And ever since the upgrade to iCloud, my iCal, Address book, etc. won't sync to my iPhone.

I upgraded to 10.7.4, to upgrade to iCloud. And ever since the upgrade to iCloud, my iCal, Address book, etc. won't sync to my iPhone. My iMAC does sync with my MacBook Pro but not to my iPhone. What do I do? And though my iMac sync to my MacBook Pro, there is a little problem. My iCal shows let's say 9 AM in my iMAC, it shows 8 AM in the MacBook Pro. The scheduling in the iCAL is a bet of a mess eer since of the upgrade.
PLEASE HELP ME SOMEBODY PLEASE!!!

To sync to your iPhone, you need to check iCloud requirements to be sure your iPhone is compatible with iCloud and your iPhone software is up to date.
You also need to make sure iCloud is enabled on the iPhone.
And you need to make sure the iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi in order to sync.
For the time difference, be sure the time settings on each device is the same with time zone and daylight saving time the same setting on each.

How to transfer iBooks books & PDFs from old iPad to new iPad?

(Well, it seems my title got truncated; originally it read: How to transfer iBooks books & PDFs from old iPad to new iPad?)
I've recently gotten an iPad Air to replace my previous iPad 2. I have a bunch of books and PDFs in iBooks on the old iPad, and want to transfer them to the new iPad.
A search of Apple Support informs me that anything I've purchased from iBooks can be downloaded at any time to any of my devices (works like Amazon's Kindle system, apparently), but nearly all the content I have in iBooks on the iPad I've downloaded from other sources, so it won't be in my iBooks Store account (I might have bought one book there).
I've also seen several instructions on how to copy all my data from the old iPad to the new via Backup & Restore, but that seems to require restoring the new iPad to factory setup, which would delete everything I have on it now – including a bunch more books I've gotten since I started using the new iPad. And I don't want to copy everything, only the books/PDFs (the new iPad has everything I want, except for the books).
Since there seems to be no way to transfer files directly from one iPad to the other, it seems it must be done via iTunes on my MacBook Pro (and I want to copy all the books/PDFs to the computer anyway). So I connected the iPad 2 to my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.4) and opened iTunes (11.3.1). Then clicked on the iPad's name in the sidebar to the left, and on Books below it. I see a list of the books on the iPad. I check the little boxes by all their names to select them (not sure if that's necessary, but it seems like a good idea), then click on the Sync button at the lower right, to the right of the bar at the bottom of the window with colored bands showing memory usage on the iPad. A message appears saying "The app 'iBooks' was not installed on the iPad '[name]' because the app could not be found."
But iBooks is already on the iPad; I have it open and see the list of books in it, which matches the list shown in iTunes. The message has a "More Information" button; I click that and it opens an Apple Support article titled "iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open": "Learn what to do if you see one of these issues with an app you downloaded from the App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: The app unexpectedly quits; The app stops responding; You can’t open the app." But none of these apply; the iBooks app is on the iPad, and works fine there.
The article suggests: (1) Restart the App. I've done that, no help. (2) Restart your device. Done that, no help. (3) Update your device software and your apps. The iPad is running iOS 6.1.3, iBooks 3.1.3; not the latest versions, no, but I'd rather not update it to newer, bigger, more power-hungry versions if I don't have to. Is it that iTunes 11 doesn't work with iOS 6? I haven't seen this stated anywhere.
So instead I click the OK button on the message, but nothing further happens, so far as I can tell: None of the books/PDFs on the iPad (about 380MB) appear in iBooks on the MacBook Pro.
I click on "Books" in the row of words across the top of the iTunes window, and it shows me the single PDF presently in iBooks on the MacBook Pro. I click the box by "Sync Books", and a message appears: "Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones from this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?" Well, no, that's exactly what I DON'T want to do. I don't want to erase the 380MB of books and PDFs on the iPad and replace them with the single PDF now in iBooks on the MacBook Pro. I want to copy the books from the iPad 2 to iTunes, so I can copy them back to the new iPad Air (if, God willing, I can figure out how to do that without erasing the books now on the iPad Air).
I've been working with Macintosh computers for over 26 years. It's always been a fairly simple process to copy files from one computer to another. I don't want to "sync" all the data (address book, email, God knows what else) on the iPad with the corresponding information on the MacBook Pro – especially if that will erase everything on the iPad (which has information not on the MacBook Pro, e.g. 380MB of books). I just want to copy the books and PDFs in iBooks from the old iPad to the MacBook Pro, then to the new iPad, adding them to the books on the new iPad, so I don't lose anything.
Can anybody give me a clue?

Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

I'm attempting to transfer files, address book, etc from an external hard drive to my new Mac-mini using migration assistant. The external drive is showing up on my desktop but Migration Assistant is not seeing the drive when searching for devices

I'm attempting to migrate files, address book, maile, etc to my new Mac Mini using an external hard drive and Migration assistant. I followed the instructions on using Migration Assistant to do this but Migration Assistant is not seeing the external drive, which is displayed on my desktop

I've been chasing this problem all afternoon. I had to reformat my internal drive on my MBP and reinstall Mountain Lion Start up assistant wouldn't see my extrnal drive with the Time Machine files on it. After many tries, I skipped the restore there and let the system boot. I could see my external drive from Finder and the files looked OK. I was told to use Migration Assistant and it had the same problem.
I saw a hint on one of these posts that the icon that you see and is label Macintosh HD is actually your backup disk and it is telling you that it has a copy of your internal Macintosh HD. I went ahead and told it to continue and it started to restore my apps, settings, and documents. It's been going for a couple of hours, and is close to being done. I expect to see my old system restored when it is finished.
Wish that Apple would put some type of note that it is seeing the backup. That is most confusing and seems to be a problem for lots of users.
It's been a month or so since your post Did your get it to work?

How to transfer Address book entires from iPhone to Mac?

I lost all my data on my Mac and the only place I have my 400+ contacts is my iPhone. How do I transfer back all this data into my Mac's Address Book please?
Thank you!

First, Be sure you have at least one contact in your Mac's address book (even a fake one).
Then, connect your phone to iTunes, select the contacts in the Info tab, and sync. It will offer to merge the address book and iphone data.

Recovering emails, address book, etc from old hard drive

I have had a motherboard crash. My data still exists and is accessible if i hook the old drive up as an external drive on another system. Old Op sys is xp media addition. Bought new system with windows 7. I can locate the email profile in the app data folder on the old drive but copying it into the new systems profile folder did not work. Thunderbird acted like i was setting it up for the first time. On the old drive I can see files that correspond to email folders i had previously and it appears that the emails still exist due to the size of the files. It took several minutes to copy the profile folder to a flash drive. If i click on a thunderbird folder on the old drive the system asks what program i want to use. i steer it to thunderbird and a window opens like i want to send an email. I took the old drive and made it the boot drive in another system. It booted but when i opened thunderbird it acted like there was no profile at all. Started asking questions like it had never been set up on an email account before. From what you see here is it still possible to get either my emails, or at least my address book back?
Question 2. is it not the law now that all companies keep an archive of emails for a certain length of time? 3 or 5 years? Might i be able to get them to release the archived emails back to me?

I don't have any personal experience with Thunderbird. There actually is a separate support site here: https://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/home

Mac address book contacts won't push to new iPhone 4s

I've a new iPhone. My contacts from my old phone snyc'd, via Verizon's app, into the iPhone. In fact those very contacts (from my old flip phone) were pushed to my address book on our iMac (via an iTunes sync). But any contacts we have on our iMac's address book will not sync or get pushed to the phone. It works for my husbands phone (we share iTunes/computer accounts). AND, I just now created a new contact on the iMac, tried sync again, and the new contact did not make its way to my iPhone. Is there a setting somewhere, phone (or iMac), that is preventing this? Help!

I'm not sure this will work on the original iPhone but you can try this:
Open Address Book on your mac, click on any single contact to select it, go to Edit>Select All (Command-A) to select all contacts
Got to File>Export>Export vCard, save this file on your desktop
Send an email to yourself with this file attached
Open the email on your iPhone and tap the attachment to import the contacts
(This will work with newer iPhones; not sure if it will work with the 1st generation iPhone but worth a try.)

How can I import address book info from old mac to new one?

Just got a macbook, and migrated all the info as per instructions. Now I need to get all the info from my old address book to the new one. Spent about 6 hours today trying to figure this out, and an hour of that was spent on the phone with a friendly but clueless customer service rep. Managed to get all the vcards transferred, but no group info. Since this is for my business, I need to get this taken care of ASAP--- help, anyone? Thanks!!!

Exporting vCards from Address Book partially preserves group information - it puts it in the notes field as Categories, which is not very useful. I suggest you export one group at a time. I don't think you can import directly into a group, so create a group, import the cards for that group, then select all the cards in the "Last Import" pseudo-group and drag them to the appropriate group.
If some of your contacts are in multiple groups the duplicates will be spotted on import. Unless you have hundreds of groups it should not be to much of a pain. Otherwise look at Gwenhiver.net - Applications - Address Book Exporter - it may preserve groups on re-import (but I don't know).

I can't transfer my iTunes music from iCloud to my new iPhone

Help. We've been trying for days. The phone was backed up to the cloud then when apple replaced the old phone with the new 4s I can't get my songs on my phone. They r on my iPad and other phones in the house

If the "new PC" is not an Apple, then your Apple Apps will not be compatible with the PC. So you are NOT able to transfer them.
Hope this helps

I use my iPad to get the address book backed up by iCloud from my iPhone. However, I cannot see the recent new contacts from my iPad. Is there anyway to check the iCloud server to see if my address book backup from my iPhone is still there?

Do you have a backup that you can restore from? Your old hard drive seems to be the problem.

Can I transfer my address book/contacts from a laptop with windows vista to my iPad mini?

To sync from windows things like Contacts, Calendars, and Mail you would need to have Outlook on the computer 2003, 2007, or 2010. This article might help you out if your setting it up for the first time. Hope it helps.
