Transfer contacts from Motorola Razr to iPhone - or - Mac Address Book

Got the iPhone a few hours ago and have talked to Support at Apple, AT&T and Motorola. Yikes! No one can get mea straight answer. I'd like to transfer to 150 phone numbers in my old Razr phone to my Mac Address book or straight to my new iPhone. Let's just say it has been a very frustrating afternoon. Can anyone help resolve this dilemma?

It looks like my phone is mentioned as compatible with iSynch, but I don't know what that means. When I the Mac Bluetooth discovers the phone device, it creates folders for audio, pictures and video. That's pretty much it.
I switched to Mac about 6 weeks ago so I'm still not up to speed with a lot of this stuff.
Any other thoughts? Thanks for your comments.

    How can I transfer contacts from htc wildfire to iPhone 4?

        Hello ugadawgs79,
    I know how important it is to have access to your contacts! I'm glad you have successfully backed up your contacts to Backup Assistant. Now, let's get these contacts moved over to your iPhone!
    To start, we will remove VZ Contact Transfer from your iPhone 4. http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=39865
    Next, let's power your phone off; then back on.
    Once the phone is back on, be sure that Wifi is turned off. The VZ Contact Transfer application must be performed over the Verizon Wireless data network and not a WiFi network.
    reinstall the VZ Contact Transfer application and follow this guide: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=39928
    Keep us posted. We're here to help.
    Thanks,

  • How do i transfer contacts from iMac  to new iPhone?

    I Have a new Iphone 5C. I want to transfer contacts from address book to this new phone but can't find a way to do it?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • How do I transfer contacts from a backup to iPhone?

    I just restored my iPhone as a new phone. I have a backup saved in my computer, not in iCloud. So my question is: how do I transfer contacts from that backup to my newly restored phone, and ONLY the contacts, nothing more (that's the whole point of my restoring my phone as a new phone).
    I don't know if all of that makes sense, but if someone knows how to do that, please help me, I can't afford to lose those hundreds of contacts.

    Download a free copy of ibackupbot for your computer and try it.  If you think it is what you want you have to pay $30

  • Transfer contacts from Motorola SIM to new iPhone?

    I have an iPhone 5c on order. When I get it, I'll need to transfer my contacts from my non-smartphone's SIM to the iPhone. I can't direct connect the old phone to my MAC because Motorola doesn't make drivers or software for the MAC, so it'll have to be someplace with a SIM card reader (standard size SIM, not micro). Can the Apple store do this for me? Some will suggest taking it to an AT&T store, but since I am buying the iPhone online, the AT&T store may not be cooperative.

    What I would do if I were you:
    Setup an Apple ID now - you don't need your phone yet to do this.  
    Go to icloud.com, log in with your new Apple ID, then add all of your contacts through the web browser to the contacts app.
    Once you get your phone, log in to your new Apple ID when first turning it on and all of your contacts will load onto your phone.

  • How to transfer contacts from blackberry q5 to iphone 6?

    I have a company Blackberry Q5 phone and a personal new iphone 6. How can I transfer my contacts from my company phone to the new iphone 6? I already tried Blackberry Link and Blackberry Desktop Manager but it was not possible. I sync my Blackberry with Outlook in my laptop (not Mac). Any tips which do not imply a cost or uploading my contacts to the cloud (i.e. idrive), will be appreciated?  

    Well, the only solution would be if you had been syncing the contacts to a supported application on the computer or to iCloud. You can update the 3GS to iOS 6.1.3, but you could not use the backup from the iPhone 5, since it was probably on iOS 6.1.4. The sync is your only solution.

    Based on this, I'm not sure what the problem is or what you are asking.

  • Why won't iphone sync mac address book contacts?

    I've got an IP4 and a MAC G5 both with most recent software updates.  At around the turn of 2012 I started "losing" new contacts from my phone,  It transpired that the phone and computer were conflicting some how and contacts were not being updated or synced. When I tried to manually input these new details to Address I am told that the Database could not be opened as it is corrupted. 
    How do I resolve this?

    Okay, if Entourage is syncing to iCal fine, then the problem is not with Entourage, but with the iPhone. (How sync works--Entourage sends it to a central location, and the iPhone and iCal pick it up from there. So you know E'rage is getting it to the central location fine, but for some reason the iPhone is not picking it up).
    In which case things like reset/restore the iPhone might help (read the iPhone manual on troubleshooting and on syncing, and backup the iPhone, and export iCal and E'rage data to an archive before futzing around too much). Reset/Restore are different from a one-way sync that overwrites data, which you might try first---I think you can tell it just overwrite a certain type of data--the settings are down at the very bottom of the Info panel in iTunes 8.
    However, since E'rage should be irrelevant to the problem, you should also search/ask re general syncing problems with the iPhone.

  • New contacts in iPad don't appear in Mac Address Book

    My boss has an iPad. He updated to iOS 4.2.1 and iTunes 10.1 (under OS X 10.5.8 on a PowerMac G5). Now when he adds a contact in the iPad's Contacts app, the new contact doesn't appear in the Address Book on his Mac after syncing. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

    yep, thanks
    but this is not an iCloud issue even though that's why I started to manually key in contacts.
    It's an issue of Messenger contacts not showing up under Contacts...

  • Cannot transfer contacts from iPhone 3GS to Mac Address book

    Hi there
    I've been searching for an answer all over these forums and google, but to no avail.
    I'm using a 3GS and I'm on Snow Leopard on the mac.
    I have tried resetting the sync utility settings and all other tweaks with the phone and the iTunes panels, but I simply cant add any of the numbers that I have added to my phone on to the mac address book. The contacts are transferred to iCloud though. But there is no way to export the iCloud contacts over to the mac address book either. I have to now manually search for all the new contacts I've added (which is a project in itself) and retype it in the mac address book. Pretty ridiculous!!!!!
    Is there a fix for this or is Apple wanting everyone to buy Lion to use the dektop version of iCloud.
    Please let me know
    Thanks
    Best regards

    Hi guys
    Managed to find the solution
    1) On the iPhone go to settings > iCloud > Switch off contacts. (Keep contacts on phone)
    2) Then on the mac go to address book and make an archive of your contacts just in case something goes wrong. You can do this by going to File > Export > Create an archive.
    3) Then delete all the contacts and groups from your mac address book.
    4) Then go to iTunes and backup by right clicking on the iPhone on the sidbar.
    5) Sync
    Your contacts from the phone should repopluate the mac address book
    Hope that helps. It worked for me
    Best regards
