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?

What are you doing to try to transfer them and what error are you getting? There are probably a dozen possible reasons, so narrowing it down would be very helpful.

How can I remove my company's iCloud Contacts account from a former employee's iPhone and have the current information removed as well?

How can I remove my company’s iCloud Contacts account from a former employee's iPhone and have the current information removed from their iPhone at the same time as well? Will just changing the iCloud password be enough? Our company shares an iCloud account for convenience but when someone leaves we don't want the information to stay on their iPhone.

Changing the password would only block them from accessing the iCloud information. They would still have access to the local copy on thier phone. To delete the local information, you would need to go to Settings>iCloud on the phone, tap Delete Account, then choose Delete from My iPhone. (This only deletes the iCloud account and data from the phone, not from iCloud.) This, obviously, must be done during the exit process as it requires access to the phone.

How do i get my contacts back from io5 update on my iphone 4

how do i get my contacts back from io5 update on my iphone 4

Although contacts are included with the iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer and/or over the air with an email account that supports it, and there are several that do which are free.
Not a good idea to depend on the iPhone or any cell phone alone for contacts which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair. If the contacts are available elsewhere as designed and intended, it doesn't matter if there is a problem with your iPhone's backup in regards to this data.

I have a Verizon LG Versa cell phone, how do I get my contact list from there to my new iphone 4?

I have a Verizon LG Versa cell phone, how do I get my contact list from there to my new iphone 4?

Matt,
   My new iPhone 4 is on the way from Verizon, and I too am moving on from the LG Versa (a poor man's iPhone) so I've researched this. I trust you have been using the backup assistant on the LG phone to backup your contacts? If so, and you investigate the app store you will see an app for doing the same task on you new iPhone. Initially it will take you LG contacts you have backed up at Verizon to their new home on the iPhone.
According to user comments there appear to be a couple of issues with the app you need to be aware of:
   1. It will not automatically backup your iPhone, you will need to initiate updates in the future on your own. and
   2. You will see in the comments, that there have been some issues with length of backup when you add lots of contact photos to your list.
   This coupled with the address book sync from your computer should make your list whole, in fact the move to the iPhone will allow me to consolidate my address book with my cell phone contacts. Then once I remove the duplicates all will be right with the world.

I've recently purchased an iPhone after years of using a Blackberry. Is there a way for me to transfer all my contacts directly from my Bberry to my iPhone?

I've recently purchased an iPhone after years of using a Blackberry. Is there a way for me to transfer all my contacts directly

Your wireless provider should be able to do that at one
of their retail locations.
If not, you need to get the information from the blackberry to the
appropriate program in your computer (for example Outlook on
a PC, Contact on a Mac) and then when you connect your iPhone
to that computer and open iTunes, you will be given a choice to
sync that data from the computer to your iPhone.
If you can get the information from your blackberry to google contacts,
you can sync to iPhone from there.

We have a requirement, Data Transfer from a SIB (CAN to Bluetooth) to iPhone.
As we know in iPhone Bluetooth is support for Audio devices.

Ok. There are some apps where we can send and receive data like photos, contacts, etc. We can chat also. So is there any way to receive data?

FRUSTRATION - why can't I add music from multiple computers to my iPhone??

I use multiple Mac computers in my life. My home computer has about 30 gigs of music. My work computer has about half that. Therefore syncing in any case is not an option. I have added some music from home to my new iPhone, and I want to do the same from my work computer but cannot! WHY?? I can do this with my 5th gen Video iPod no problem.
Plugged into my work computer now, I try to set the iPhone again to "manually manage music," but it still tells me the iPhone is synced with another computer (it is not, since I immediately disabled the sync feature before adding music). Is this going to be the case if I want to add photos from multiple computers, etc., too?
WHY?? WHY??? WHY?????
SO FRUSTRATING...

You're welcome.
Maybe I'm missing something, but i still struggle to see the connection. Disk mode is the iPods ability to be mounted as a disk on the desktop, allowing the free disk space to be used manually. It exists completely outside the iPods normal, iTunes-driven functions, right? What we are missing on the iPhone is a simple feature from inside iTunes – a feature that all other iPods (as far as i know) have. Strange that the "Amazing iPod" does not.
Disk mode has everything to do with the ability to transfer iTunes content to an iPod from multiple computers. This is not a simple feature from inside iTunes.
Do you have an iPod? If so, are you transferring iTunes content from more than one computer to your iPod? If so, do you have disk mode enabled for your iPod? If yes, turn off disk mode and test if you are still able to transfer iTunes content from more than one computer to your iPod.
Nothing prevents me from admitting when Apple goes wrong or disappoints, but this is not the place for it. This is a user to user help forum for technical support issues and questions only which has a terms of use. Discussing Apple's policies and procedures and ranting is specifically against Apple's terms of use for these discussions.
Since this is a user to user help forum only, no one here knows Apple's reason or reasons why disk mode is not supported with the iPhone. The only answer you will get here or anywhere else for that matter is someone's opinion, unless Apple makes an announcement or information is provided by an exec during an interview. IMO, there must be a valid reason or reasons why disk mode is not supported with an iPhone since it is supported with iPods. Since disk mode is supported with iPods, more than likely there isn't a technical reason why it isn't supported with an iPhone, so I seriously doubt that Apple decided not to support disk mode with the iPhone just for kicks, or for no valid reason or reasons whatsoever on their part.
Until I know Apple's reason or reasons, it is difficult for me to admit Apple has gone wrong in this regard, for it may make Apple right for a reason or reasons we don't know, which can be disagreed on. Once facts are known, just because you believe Apple has gone wrong and/or you are disappointed doesn't mean I believe the same, which may or may not have anything to do with being an Apple fan - maybe we just don't agree.
My brand loyalty goes only so far. I did plenty of research on the iPhone before making the decision to purchase one. Before purchasing an iPhone, I can count on one hand the number of MMS I had exchanged. I have used a number of Palm handhelds for business - before they began selling a Palm cell phone, and I don't recall editing a word or excel document once during all that time. I wasn't interested in doing so with such a small screen, and since I wasn't interested in doing any editing, cut/copy/paste wasn't critical to me either.
If these features were very important to me - features I used on a daily or very regular basis, I would not have purchased an iPhone regardless the other features it includes. I certainly wouldn't purchase one anyway knowing these things, followed by wasting my time at an Apple user to user help forum for technical support issues and questions whining and ranting about it, which is common here by an immature small percentage of users. There is nothing wrong with providing constructive comments here, which constructive being the key word. There are some folks here who don't know what the word constructive means and don't have a clue about how use it.

W can I bring over my contact Categories from Outlook 2007 to my iphone 4s?

How can I bring over all of my contact Categories from Outlook 2007 to my 4s iPhone? All of my contacts have synced, but I have nearly 1500 business contacts and need to be able to filter them down by Categories as I do in Outlook. Is there a way to do this or an app? I am coming to the iPhone from a Windows Mobile platform that automatically brought the categories from Outlook to that smartphone.

Can you sync the contact template from my MBP to my iPhone?

I have a certain template for my new contacts in my address book on my MBP. Can I sync my iPhone so it has the same template when adding a new contact?

Hi GREG Obiorah,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand you are trying to sync applications from your computer to your iPhone 4 but are continually prompted to authorize the computer. I suggest using the following article to help troubleshoot and resolve this issue. If you are sure you are on the administrator account on the computer and authorizing with the correct account name, removing the SC Info folder may be the resolution for you. Please use the following article for reference.
