Transferring contacts/phone numbers from iPhone to new iPad

How do I do that? I've synced my iPhone and iPad to iCloud via my Mac, but when I try to send a message and pick the person/phone # from the list on my iPad, it has a red exclamation point behind it and won't send message. Help, please!

For expediency, configure iTunes to sync EVERYTHING (books, movies, songs, apps) and store stuff locally. Enable encryption (just don't forget the password you set) and even your passwords, cookies get saved in the backup file. When the new device is plugged in and iTunes recognizes as such, the restored result will be identical even in the screen icon placement. Storing locally on the computer's drive results in a faster restore since all the stuff is already there and not subject to network vagaries.

Transfer phone numbers from iphone 3gs to iphone 4s?

How can I transfer phone numbers from iphone 3gs to iphone 4s?

I recently upgraded from 3GS to 4S
I used mobile me for yers so i trustef this would work -
Ensure that everything is uptodate on the 3GS
sign in to icloud in the settings on the 3GS and ensure you are syncing contacts (calendars etc also but as you are only querying phone numbers you only seem interested in contacts)
use the same Apple ID on the 4s when you initially turn it on to set it up (this is what i did, icloud downloaded everything including my settings and what apps were in which folders and where)
If your 4s is already set up ensure the same apple id is used in the icloud settings.
Or you could go back to the pc and sync the 3gs one last time, then when setting up the 4s and it asks whether you want to set it up as a new phone or from a back up choose backup from itunes and then plug it in and select the 3gs backup from itunes to install

How do you transfer contacts from iphone to new ipad?

how do you transfer contacts from iphone to new ipad?

"Paired"? I think you are saying you were trying to use Bluetooth to do this transfer. That will not work.
Instead, try one of these two methods:
1. Use iCloud to contain the contacts. Then set both the iPad and iPhone up to reference the iCloud contacts.
2. Sync the iPhone using iTunes on your computer. Then sync the iPad using the same iTunes.
(This may or may not work depending on what you use to house the contacts.)

How to copy phone numbers from iPhone 5 to Panasonic KX-TG7445?

My phone is linked to the Panasonic phone system. Does anyone know how to copy selected contacts' phone numbers to the Panasonic phone system?

That would be a good question for Panasonic...
If the system does not support the PBAP, you can't import them from the phone. If it does, ALL contacts will be uploaded automatically.

How do I transfer contacts notes and photos from iPhone to new ipad

How do I transfer content from iPhone to iPad

Hi Sacha' !
Thank you for your answer to my ipad question.
I was able to transfer my contacts, notes, calendar . . . etc., once I connected to Yahoo.
The info you gave me would be good, except that I don't use iCloud as it filled up the free 5GB on my iPhone
and then kept asking me to "buy more storage".
One day I may try to utilize the cloud, but now that I seem to have all my info from my iPhone transferred to my new iPad
I think I am good.
Thanks again !

Problems migrating contacts' phone numbers from droid HTC to droid 4.

Hello- Advice please. Just bought Droid 4. Set up FB and Gmail accounts with no problems. Contacts migrated from Droid HTC. EXCEPT contact's actual phone numbers. Anyway of getting these numbers back? Thanks!

that's one of the reasons i use backup assistant, for folks with phone numbers & no email from way back, before the upgrade to the droid x in dec '10.
if the numbers were in ba, they should be there. i've used ba for years without any problems.
ba won't do a backup if a contact is in gmail contacts.

Sync old iMessage conversations from iPhone to new iPad & Mac?

I have had my iPhone for a couple years now, and have accumulated a fairly large amount of iMessage conversations from various people. A few days ago, I purchased my first iPad and also updated my Mac to Mountain Lion. By doing so, I now have access to iMessage on three devices in total, whereas before I only had one.
I have managed to setup my devices so that all new iMessages I send and receive are being synced between them. However, is it possible to sync my old iMessage conversations from my iPhone back onto my iPad and Mac?
I would like to do so in order to keep a full record of the past conversations I have had with my contacts.
I have done a bit of research before posting, but the only related topics I found werehttps://discussions.apple.com/message/19095937 andhttps://discussions.apple.com/message/17818920. The former was left unresolved, whereas the latter describes a solution which I am unable to reproduce.
Could anyone shed some light on this for me?

Hi,
For me this was very early on in my Mountain Lion days.
I would now say that you cannot sync iMessages from an iOS device that were sent before your linked any Apple ID with the iPhone Number or added the Mac to the use of the Apple ID.
At the point at which and Apple ID is used on both an iPad and the Mac version of Messages becomes it's "Start date"
The same can be said for adding an Apple ID to an iPhone and the Mac.
On the Mac all messages can be saved if you wish.
This are in the .ichat format which you can send to Mac Buddies and then can open them and read them as if they were the chat (i.e they display as "chats').
There appears to be no way in iTunes to access the iMessages (or SMS ones) on the iPhone.
Someone who knows more about the iOS may be able to tell you if they are accessible another way.

Put the photos in a folder on your computer, then select to sync the photos on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync your iPad. They should then appear in the Photo Library album in the Photos app.

Transferring data, iBooks etc. from old to new iPad

I am upgrading from the original iPad to an IPad Air 2. How do I migrate data, apps, iBooks etc. from the old iPad to the new one. I can see a back up feature on the iPad but it's not clear exactly what gets backed up. Does it include cookies?

For expediency, configure iTunes to sync EVERYTHING (books, movies, songs, apps) and store stuff locally. Enable encryption (just don't forget the password you set) and even your passwords, cookies get saved in the backup file. When the new device is plugged in and iTunes recognizes as such, the restored result will be identical even in the screen icon placement.

Getting contacts from iphone onto new macbook

I am having a problem getting all my contacts from my iphone to my new computer. I lost my last computer. I do have mobileme and have synced all my contacts from my phone to mobileme. In setting up my new computer, i went into system preferences to mobileme and put a check in the box next to contacts to sync the new computer with mobileme. it asked if i wanted to merge info on this computer or replace info on this computer with info from mobileme. i selected "replace info on this computer with mobileme info". it then said that i need to update contacts on Mobileme. It gave me the option to "fix later" or "replace". I selected fix later. My contacts from my iphone/mobileme were not showing up in my address book. i plugged in my iphone and selected to sync contacts. Still nothing in my address book. i then went back to sys prefs, and, bad move, i selected "replace" when it told me i needed to update mobileme contacts. IT WIPED ALL MY CONTACTS AWAY. i was thinking it would then ask me to replace from where, like from iphone or old computer. But no, it just wiped them all away. Why is it so difficult to get contacts and info from iphone onto new computer? And more importantly, is there a way of getting mobileme to revert back to the place it was before i wiped out all the contacts? I need to get my contacts back. All i was trying to do was get my contacts from my iphone onto a new computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Thanks for all the support with this. Now i know where to go for help.

HT1751 how do i recover my phone numbers from my iTunes bkup when i lost my phone

how can i recover my contact phone numbers from my itunes backup of my iphone without the iphone. I am trying to recover the phone numbers due to my losing my phone and not having recovered it.

Your iphone is designed to be sycned to your computer regularly. All of your contacts should be in whatever program you have chosen to sync ( Outlook or Address Book for example).

Getting phone numbers from my old iPhone to my new one

I just upgraded to an iPhone 5, and can't figure out how to get my stored phone numbers from my very old iPhone 3 to my new phone.

Your contacts should be on your computer. You should be syncing them regularly.
Have you failed to do this?
