The following thread helped me a lot when transferring iPhone contacts to my PC.

http://forums.imore.com/iphone-4s-forum/234129-sync-iphone-4s-contacts-pc.html

I found that described method also works the other way round: when transferring contacts from PC to iPhone.

Hope this helps all having trouble migrating their contacts to the iPhone as it is not always a very straight-forward undertaking.

I recently switched from an Android phone (Galaxy S) to an iPhone 4S. I must say that the easiest method to transfer my contacts for me was via an Exchange server and a Gmail account as per:

http://transfer-iphone-contacts.blogspot.com/p/transfer-iphone-contacts-via-gmail.html

Naturally as an Android user, I already had a Google account with all my contacts synced to that account so it was easy.

For those switching form an earlier iPhone to the new 4S, I strongly recommend contact sync via the iCloud. It is much less hassle than using iTunes and your PC as a medium to sync transfer contacts to your iPhone.

I've found an app in the App Store which has copied 300+ contacts from my Nokia E72 to my new iPhone 4S pretty easily. I had to download a Java applet to the E72 which has uploaded the contacts to the "cloud" (no registration or stuff like that; I hate those) and has given me an access code. After that I had to enter the code in the iPhone app and then my contacts appeared on the iPhone in seconds. It isn't perfect though, because it copies only two phone numbers per contact, so I've lost some details during the transfer, but still it has saved me quite some headache. The app is called "ConCopy".

Sorry, friend, but quite disappointing. The picture shows a Palm OS phone and Palm Desktop transferring to iPhone/iTunes. However, the article doesn't really talk about this (except Palm Desktop doesn't work, need to use Outlook) and barely even mentions Palm devices at all. Ironically, the article mentions Palm twice in regards to how people are switching from Palm to iPhone, and another three times in a paragraph which is actually about RIM. As you can see from post 16 and 23 (and your own article), there are some people looking for what your first photo shows. Very unfortunate misrepresentation!

Unable to sync contacts with categories or calendar with categories to IPhone from Outlook despite numberous calls to Apple tech support. Apple support is unfamiliar with Outlook. In addition, the search feature of the Iphone does not work properly and does not compare with the excellent search in the Palm. I loved my Palm and am very disappointed in the Iphone. If things don't get better ( now 6 weeks trying)I'll have to switch back. Very disturbing.If anyone knows of an APP that would work, please please let me know. Thanks. eneiman2000@aol.com.

Thanks - this is very informative. I just wanted to add that when synchronizing photos, iTunes downsizes them to iPhone screen resolution. Sometimes, however, it is nice to be able to zoom-in and see details (for instance, I know some photogs, who use their iPhones and iPod touches to have their portfolios of photos ready to show off to clients). It is beyond my comprehension, why iTunes still does not support syncing full resolution images, but here is a short HowTo on a couple of ways to achieve that: http://bit.ly/1a1HPo

Easy process to get Blackberry contacts to iphone using an imac. Use the PocketMac Syncmanager software which is free for all BB owners.

Download this from the BB site. Install it. Download contacts from your BB to the Address Book application. Use that app to de-dupe the contacts if necessary. Then tell itunes to sync the iphone with Address Book in the Info tab and you're good to go!

By: Rene Ritchie

Rene Ritchie — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 01:20:58 +0000

@Patrick: Unfortunately, it's my understanding "push" data replaces "sync" data entirely. i.e., while you can push multiple datasets (ActiveSync AND MobileMe), or sync multiple datasets, you can't push some and sync others. And in a battle, push will obliterate synced data (ActiveSync will wipe out iTunes synced data, but not MobileMe which is also push).

This might just be a current limitation of the technology or Apple's implementation. Perhaps 2.1 will be better for this?

How can I get the iphone contacts in to my PC without them getting erased? Please help!!

Pretty comprehensive guide. Might be nice to have a links section at top so people can jump to the section they're interested in.

I'm surprised no one has really written about / tackled the AT&T business plan aspect. I sure hope I don't have to pay $45/mo just to get Exchange syncing - I will probably draw the line at that nonsense.

I currently sync photos, music, etc from my Mac, and Calendar/Contacts from my work PC (Win XP). I haven't gotten the old-style exchange support working, but I'm hoping ActiveSync gets rid of all my worries there.

Now if there was a super easy way to get ringtones without the latest iLife....(Yes, I do have custom ringtones, it's just more work than I'd like to make and sync them using iLife'07 and some other software).

So, iPhone 3G will be a fresh start. (I lost my photos too! I'm done with sub standard phones, and await Apple's iPhone Nano or Flip if I break the 3G.)

After using PALM DESKTOP on the Mac for 10 years (!) and now a PALM TREO, I was VERY concerned about transferring over all of my CALENDER and ADDRESS BOOK info into Apple iCal and AddressBook in anticipation of buying an iPhone 3G this Friday. It turned out to be much easier that you listed above.

If you already use PALM DESKTOP on the MACOSX to sync your PALM device successfully, then Just go to iSYNC in your applications folder, start it up, It will prompt you that it is automatically installing the new iSYNC conduit, disable your Palm Desktop Cal/Address conduits and then all you need to do is press the HOTSYNC button on your Palm device dock. That's it!

Much to my surprise, 10 years of calender information including repeating events transfered over no problem. My address info transfered over too but but some of the fields are going to need to be cleaned up, ie. home/mobile fields, but everything is there!

I had looked into MarkSpace, Pocket Mac, using Outlook and Entourage and that all proved unnecessary. iPhone here I come!

well . . . considering that my RAZR ummm . . . broke in half, i don't even have to deal with this. My replacement "GoPhone" doesn't have any ports what so ever, so that means no sending contact info to my computer . . . i had to enter them all manually.

UGH! that was a full 116 "v-cards" and i'm still entering contact info.

One of my favorite things about the iPhone is that once you have all that stuff set up, the syncing just works.

I am happy they are finally doing this for the iphone. The only thing holding my dad from switching from his blackberry.

Very well written and comprehensive, thank you! Now if only someone can explain to me the difference between syncing and a full backup...

Thanks a lot for the article! If I tell my coworkers about the possibility of this easy procedure, they will line up to the stores...

Gosh, I can't wait for Friday 8am! I'm going to be syncing my Nokia for the last time. These tips will help very much. I plan on getting everything off of my Nokia Thursday to be ready for the big day.

It will be interesting to see how Apple handles the data sync options in iTunes for people who are using MobileMe. Will it let them sync their contacts over MobileMe AND via iTunes, or will it grey out the iTunes options if you have MobileMe? Will using both screw things up royally? If so, I'm betting there will be at least a few people out there who get messed up.

Sync can be a real pain, and I'm REALLY hoping that Apple gets it right. It's amazing the kinds of things that sync can mess up. I used a Treo 650 for a while before getting really sick of the problems it had syncing with my Mac. As an example, at one point it caused all of the birthdays in my Contacts list to move forward one day. Wow, was that a really annoying problem.

I might be tempted to get MobileMe. But if I really can get Exchange for free(I've been told), it seems a little extravagant.

I'm currently using Outlook on PC for Contacts and Calendar Sync. It's ok. Contacts modified on my iPhone lose their pictures in Outlook when synced. Some Calendar events never seem to sync down to the phone. I have a new MacBook Pro I'd like to start using for iTunes sync, but haven't gotten everything set up yet. I'd like to have all my Contacts in the cloud via Gmail, but Gmail's contacts don't have nearly as many fields as Outlook or iPhone and importing the contacts is a buggy process (I have to manually map fields in order to get it to recognize addresses, etc. from an exported Outlook .csv file). If MobileMe can handle my contacts in a seamless way, it may be worth the $99 to me.

Cool, tip. I didn't realize that "anything" was really needed to upgrade. Good to know, I can pass it along to friends who are upgrading.

I wish there were a way to create photo albums from the iPhone. Or, if there is one and I am not aware of it, can someone tell me? I would like to be able to put the pictures that I take on my iPhone into different folders/albums. I haven't found a way to do so, not even from my pc. It's not going to make me lose my mind... but it would be nice if I could do it.

Easiest is to just abandon all friends/family when you switch over. Once in the sweet, sweet embrace of the iPhone, humans will be irrelevant.
