  • Why didn't my contacts transfer from my iphone 4 to my iphone 5?

    why didn't my contacts transfer from my iphone 4 to my iphone 5?

    I've tried both - my 4 was synched both ways.  My 4 (which still has its SIM card, but no service) still has all my contacts, but I must not be "checking" the correct options when I try to sync my 5... any thoughts?

  • My old phone broke and I am having trouble figuring out how to restore my contacts on my "new" phone (LG ENV2 Black)...

    My old phone broke and I am having trouble figuring out how to restore my contacts on my "new" phone (LG ENV2 Black).  Apparently the phone is so old that I am unable to install Backup Assistant on it, which sucks.  I have all my old contacts saved on my computer as a CSV and also another copy on a micro SD as VCF.  I have tried moving the CSV from my computer to my ENV2 via both Bluetooth and USB cable, but had no luck with either of those.  I also tried to pop the micro SD into the ENV2, and although I can load all my old pictures/videos/etc. from the micro SD, I do not seem to be able to restore the contacts from card.  I know there has to be some way to manually transfer these files; the contacts are still on my old phone as well; but I was unable to use the transfer wizard for that because my old phonedoesn't seem to be supported by that (Pantech Jester 2)

    Google a program called bitpim, that might do what you want.  Never used it but it's been talked about on the forums.  Other than that you might have to input them manually.  Mary

  • I have an iPhone 4 that i was trying to fix and now it will not turn on at all is there anyway that i can access all my pictures and contacts from my new phone or pc? It is also on the same apple id, but i dont know if that would help with anything.

    I have an iPhone 4 thats i was trying to fix and now it will not turn on at all is there anyway that i can access my pictures and contacts from my new phone or pc? Aslo the are both on the same apple id but i dont know if that would help or not.

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

  • When a contact gets a new phone number, I delete the old and enter the new.  Then when I text or call the old number shows up as a selection yet it's no longer under the contacts info.

    When a contact gets a new phone number, I delete the old number and enter the new number.  When I try to text or call, both the old a new numbers. One up as a selection choice, even though the old number is gone from the contact.

    That's normal behavior as the old one will remain in the memory cache for a while until it's eventually overwritten.  If it's particularly bothersome to you, you can restore your phone as NEW and this will empty the cache.

  • My phone was stolen how do i retrieve my contacts on a new phone

    My phone was stolen how do i retrieve my contacts on a new phone?

    If you have an iCloud account, change your AppleID and iCloud passwords immediately.  That will keep a thief from connecting and deleting your iCloud backups.  When you get a new iPhone, if from an Apple store, the genius bar staff can download the information you have in iCloud and restore it to your new iPhone.

  • Why can I not just have a new phone.

    I am on my 3 refurbished replacement phone and am starting to get fustrated with Verizon. Every refurbished Galaxy S III that has been sent to me has had a different malfunction. Why can't I just have a new phone enstead of a refurbished one.

    I do carry the insurance and you are right about the contract but I am still fustrated that out of 3 replacement phones, all 3 have something wrong with them. And yes I did get my original phone at a discount price but it was still $300+  so it should of lasted longer than 6 to 7 months.
    Yes, it should, that's why they have a warranty, and the warranty says that after 14 days and up to 1 year, they will replace it with a refurbished device.
    If you buy a new car and have problems with the transmission after 6 months, do they give you a new car, or "refurbish" the one you have? (It's not like Verizon is doing something "new and different" with their warranty)

  • Id My old Verizon phone did not have a cloud how can i transfer My contacts to My new phone?

    Id My old Verizon phone did not have a cloud how can i transfer My contacts to My new phone?

    What phones do you have (old and new?)  If your old phone was backed up using Verizon's Backup assistant, the new phone should pick up those contacts, as the Verizon cloud has replaced Backup Assistant, or ratherm BUA has been "absorbed" by the Cloud.
    Knowing which phones you are using will help us to give more specific information for transferring the contacts.

  • How to get your contacts to your new phone

    These days, most of us live ane die by our mobile phones - our personal and business lives revolve around them; and yet technology moves so fast that our phones become outdated and are replaced so quickly. Luckily, the days when buying a new phone means that you have to laboriously re-enter all of your precious contact numbers are long gone.
    There are a number of different ways that you can transfer contacts between your old and your new phone, including:
    1. SIM CARD
    The original and simplest way to port your contacts is via the SIM card. This system sells itself on the ease of use and the fact that it guarantees universal compatibility, but this simplicity also brings with it the inflexibility - the SIM card can hold just one name and one number per contact, and a typical limit the number of contacts it 250, so it is rapidly ending its tenure as a medium for the storage and transfer of contact information.
    Advantages: Ultimate cross-device compatibility
    Disadvantages: Limited capacity
    2. BUSINESS CARDS VIA BLUETOOTH
    Bluetooth connectivity allows data to be relayed between two phones within a range of about ten metres. All Bluetooth-enabled phones can send and receive contacts as vCard files, which allows you to transfer a complete contact to another phone with ease. Using the "Mark/Unmark" feature of your Nokia device, you can also send a batch of contacts at once - the phone still makes a separate transfer per contact, but provided the two devices are paired and set to automatically accept transmissions from each other, you can set things in motion and put the kettle on whilst the phones do most of the hard work - it's as easy as Options>Send business card>Via Bluetooth. The down side is that the vCards go into the Received Files folder of an S40 phone or the Messaging inbox of a Symbian smartphone, you will need to individually save each contact transferred to your address book, so it still isn't an ideal solution for large numbers of contacts.
    Advantages: Quick and easy, wide compatibility, all contact information can be transferred
    Disadvantages: Still laborious in the case of large numbers of contacts, bulk sending may not work correctly from a different brand of phone.
    3. DEVICE-TO-DEVICE SYNC
    Many Nokia phones have a Synchronisation or Switch feature which allows you to transfer personal data such as contacts between compatible devices. This is an effective method to transfer data, but unfortunately different versions used in different phones (depending on age and OS) mean that even two different Nokia devices might not be compatible for this method.
    Advantages: Easy to use and almost entirely automatic
    Disadvantages: Not a reliable cross-platform method
    4. SERVER SYNCHRONISATION
    A growing feature of the mobile internet is the ability to transfer your phone's personal data with a remote server, which is not necessarily the ideal way to transfer between devices but gives the added functionality that you can recover your data wherever you are in the world as long as you have internet access through your phone, so if you lose your data (or even your entire phone) on a business trip abroad, you don't have to wait to get home to recover it. An example of a server synchronisation service can be found at www.ovi.com
    Avantages: Remote storage of data means you can use anywhere
    Disadvantages: System still in its infancy for personal consumers
    5. PC SYNCHRONISATION
    Using Nokia PC Suite, N-Series PC Sutie or Ovi Suite you can synchronise your PIM (Personal Information Management) data with your PC (Outlook, Outlook Express, Vista Contacts, Lotus Notes etc.), allowing it to be subsequently transferred to another Nokia device. For Mac users, there is Apple's iSync software which does the same thing, though whilst it makes transfer between different brands of phone possible it does not guarantee compatibility with all phones from any manufacturer.
    Advantages: Any PC-connectivity-enabled Nokia phone is compatibile (PC only), cross-brand support (Mac only)
    Disadvantages: Synchronisation software not always reliable
    6. CONTENT COPIER
    Using Nokia Content Copier from any of the three PC Suites mentioned above, you can copy all or a selection of personal data from your phone into a backup file that can be restored to your phone after a repair or update, or transferred to another compatible phone. This gives ultimate protection as almost all of your phone contents can be saved, but the big downside is that this method is no use to you if you are coming to Nokia from another brand. Wise users back up their phones with Content Copier regularly to ensure that nothing is lost if the phone is lost, stolen or broken. Me, I remember to do it now and again
    Advantages: All data can be backed up, and most data can be restored to most Nokia phones
    Disadvantages: All of the big manufacturers have their own version, but they are not inter-compatible

        Labguy,
    Backing up contacts is really important when you're getting a new phone. We want that info to transfer easily. Please use our Contact Transfer Wizard to back up your contacts. You can find the wizard right here -> http://vz.to/19lHYxL

  • How do I transfer saved blackberry contacts to a new phone

    I have backed up my contacts via blackberry desktop manager to my computer. How do I transfer them to a new phone (not a blackberry)? My old phone got wet and no longer works but I have saved my numbers.  If I plug in say a droid, via USB will it just restore or is there something else I need to do?  The backup is saved as a .ipd extension and my computer does not recognize it as a file it can open.  Any help is greatly appreciated!!

    If you can open the file with your Blackberry Desktop manager and then save it or export it as a csv file or excel file, then you can import it into Backup Assistant and then sync it to the Droid or other phone (that is, if BA is working properly!)
    If BA will not work (it's been really flaky the last couple of months for most people) then you maybe able to at least print out or view your contacts from within the Blackberry Desktop Manager program and manually copy the contacts over to the new phone.
    If anyone else has a more elegant solution, please speak up!!

  • Contacts transfer to new phone created multiples and corrupted my Gmail account Contacts

    I recently upgraded from my old Razr XT912 to the New Maxx.  I love my new phone, but when I did the upgrade, the store associate took my old phone and attempted to transfer all my data to my new phone.  Besides none of my pictures or other data transferring, when I got my phone back, I had 2 or more often 3 of every contact in my address book.  To make matters worse, this caused my entire G-Mail contacts list to then carry all of these triplicated entries.  So now you have not only screwed up my Verizon phone contacts list, but you have corrupted my entire GMail Contacts as well. I am NOT happy.  How can Verizon make this right?  How can I easily eliminate the multiple duplicate/triplicate entries in my contacts list?

    Hi, thank you for responding.
    I did get all my data off my old phone as it was transfered onto a 16GB
    microSD card that was in the phone, but none of it transfered directly to
    my new Droid Maxx.  Instead I had to take the card home, load it on my PC
    and then transfer back to my phone the data that I wanted.  Not a huge
    deal, but kind of a pain to go through, especially since I thought the guy
    in the store just transfered everything over.  In the end, I did go back to
    the store the next day to retrieve a few items that were still on the phone
    memory.
    I used backup assistant some time ago and then I think I turned it off in
    favor of using Gmail to back aeverything up.  I don't know if I had
    duplicates of stuff in both places, but in the end, everything copied over
    to my gmail contacts and I had 3 of everything.  very frustrating.  I found
    a way to merge duplicate contacts in Gmail contacts and that got me down
    from 1500+ to 1000+, but I started out with only about 500.  I'm still
    trying to figure out what the extra 500 are that are not duplicates and
    where they came from.
    My Gmail contacts is fixed, for the most part, so I am ok.  But, this is a
    huge Pain and it happens to EVERYONE in some way or another.  I can't
    believe the mobile service providers have not figured out a way to do this
    without causing a problem.  Seriously disappointing. the last time I
    changed phones, all of my business contacts got condensed down into one
    single generic contact with over one hundred business numbers and addresses
    listed within that contact.  there was no way split them back out.  So when
    ever I recieved a call from any one of those 100+ complanies, the same
    contact name came up and I couldn't tell who it was.  I finally ended up
    deleting it and starting over from scratch.
    Seriously, Verizon needs to spend some time and money and figure out how to
    do this.
    Frustrated.

  • Why aren't my contacts saving on my phone?

    I recently purchased an iPhone 4 about a month ago. I've had this problem twice already. I'm probably just iPhone stupid, but I can't figure out why my contacts dissapear after saving them. I did, however, delete my phone contacts on my yahoo email account. That may be why they deleted when I plugged in my phone to my computer and connected to iTunes. I also tried restoring from backup, or whatever. But I unplugged it, started saving numbers again, and my phone only saved select phone numbers and other numbers disappeared. It's frustrating and I can't figure out why! I lost all of my contacts except for those people I have texted recently, because I remember what conversation I had with whatever person. Help!

    No. but iCloud knows it should be able to resync your contacts from the gmail server when it restores your phone.

  • HT201269 i just got my iphone5s. Icloud won't transfer my contacts to the new phone. what do i do?

    What do I do when Icloud won't transfer my contacts to my new Iphone 5s?

    MobileGo for iOS is a way easier way of transferring between iOS device if you've got a iphone 5s. did this yesterday myself, and it pulled all my contacts, messages, calendars, music, photos, videos and notes out of iTunes and organised them perfectly on my iPad.

  • Do I have to add a new contact for each new phone number?

    I just got my phone and I'm adding in my contact manually. I don't see multiple spots for multiple phone numbers for one person? Do I have add a new contact for each phone number a person has? (I.e. One for their home number, one for their work number, one for their cell number).
    Thanks!

    No.
    There is no reason to have a default number of phone number entries that may not all be used and the same for email addresses.
    When manually entering contact info, after entering the first number for a contact, a new phone number entry is made available directly below.

  • Can I transfer my sim contacts to my new phone?

    Can I transfer my sim contacts from my old phone to my new Galaxy S5 phone ??? ☺

    Try syncing them  from the iPhone to a mail account like gmail, yahoo, etc.  and then syncing the galaxy with the same email account.
