Transferring Razor SIM contacts to iPhone
How do I transfer the SIM info from my Razor to my iPhone? I have an iMac but have no clue how to do it.
I did this with my RAZR.
Before starting I would make sure that ALL your contacts are saved to the SIM card on your RAZR. Go to Phonebook>Menu>Copy>All to SIM>Merge
Now go into your phonebook again on the RAZR.
Hit the menu key(the center one in the top row on your phone)
Scroll to Copy and select it.
Scroll to All to Phone and select.
Select Overwrite since all your contacts are now written to the SIM. If you select merge you will get duplicates due to a limitation the Symbian OS on the phone.
The overwrite will take 10 to 15 minutes depending on how many contacts you have.
This will store all your contacts in the phones memory which is the only thing that is read during a sync operation with your Mac.
The sim is not read at all during a sync.
When you go to sync it with your Mac make sure you tell it to merge or it will erase all the contacts in the phone(but not the sim) and replace them with contacts from your Mac.
If you can't get this to work let me know. I have another method that takes a little more work.

How to transferer of the contacts of Iphone towards Outlook and Outlook for
Hello
I do not know how to update my contacts which are on outlook towards my Iphone 3 and conversely, of Iphone towards Outlook.
Idem to transfer photos between my PC towards Iphone and Iphone towards my PC?
Somebody can you he(it) help him(it) to resolve these difficulties.
CordiallyI replied to another thread that may be close - not sure this will help, but it is a start:
In iTunes, on the INFO Tab, UnCheck the "Sync Address Book Contacts" and Sync iCal Calendars.
On the iPhone, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>.Mac - then turn OFF Contacts and Calendars. After that is off, go back out to check your info - you should have 1 copy - HOWEVER, that is the wrong info as that is the computer copy. If you use MobileMe, go back into Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>.Mac - then turn Contacts and Calendars back ON - it will ask if you want to replace (delete) your calendar and contact info - say YES/DELETE.
In a few minutes you will see your iPhone being repopulated with your MobileMe info.
Good luck! -

Updated iphone 5 with ios 6.1 - lost all Sim contacts - how do I get them back?
I updated my iphone 5 last night to the latest update 6.1 (and signed into the cloud for the first time) and now all my SIM contacts are gone....only my Facebook ones remain. How can I get them back?
The iPhone doesn't store any information on the SIM at all. Updating the phone should not have affected anthing on the SIM. Are you sure you're not talking about contacts stored somewhere else?
Did you try re-importing the contacts from the SIM if that's where they came from? -

Why I can't sync/import my contacts from SIM card to iphone?
Having set up the account in itunes and syncing finished, I can't find the contacts in my iphone under 'contacts' or 'phone', why?
Is is possible that my outlook is not an updated version??Iphone does not save to the SIM card.
If you have another SIM card that has contacts on it, then use the direction in the manual under settings to import them into the iphone:
Import contacts from a SIM: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” then tap Import SIM
Contacts.
The contact information on the SIM is imported to iPhone. If you have Contacts
enabled for both MobileMe and Microsoft Exchange, you’re prompted to choose which
account you want to add the SIM contacts to."

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. -
partners iphone information was mistakenly transferred thru itunes to my iphone.now all my data is gone.can it be retrieved?
See the following redownloading stuff:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If you are in the USA and have the latest iTunes, you can redownload music via the iCloud beta.
When you do an update, the first step is making a backup. However, the backup does not include the apps themselves or music or some other things. Those get synced back to the iPod from your iTunes library at the end of the update. If those items are not in your library they can't be synced to your iPod.
You should be able to get the contacts and similar stuff back since those are in backup if you have a backup made at the first stage of the update or earlier. Go to Preferences in iTunes, and go to the Devices tab and see the date of the backup(s). If the backup contains the data you want, restore the iPodfrom backup. -

Transferring contacts from iphone to PC and Mac
Hi guys,
1) Can i seek help for transferring of contacts from iphone 3g to PC? When i select sync contacts on my itunes to my pc. My contacts will not show up on the pc.
2) Can i transfer my contacts from iphone to Mac as well?
Any help will be very much appreciatedHI,
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692 provides tips that will resolve most issues related to syncing contacts and calendars on a PC.
Make sure you have at least one contact in the contact manager on the PC, so there are contacts to merge.
You can sync and even merge contacts on from multiple computers as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296

I've just got an iPhone 5, the problem I've got is I can't transfer my old contacts of my old sim to my iPhone. The old sim is a lot bigger than the new one
The iPhone 5 uses a Nano-Sim, your old phone uses a Micro-Sim. But you already knew that. If you purchased your iPhone 5 from a specific carrier, and the same carrier provided your old device, they may be able to transfer your contacts. Otherwise, you can search for a method to sync your old phone contacts to another service (like Google contacts, or yahoo contacts, or the Personal Information Manager on your computer like Outlook or Windows contacts), then sync the data to your iphone.
