To transfer your contacts and calendars
Most Android users synchronize their contacts with the Google Mail, although there are also those who store the data locally on your phone. Quickly transfer your contacts can in both cases.
So, in case the first one, and all the contacts we have in Gmail:
- On the iPhone go to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars
- Create a new Microsoft Exchange account in spite of the fact that we take out data from Gmail
- We enter the e-mail address and authentication data
- Choosing a Server and enter m.google.com
- On the last screen, select the data that we want to transfer and click Accept
If contacts are stored locally, then move them as follows:
- Open the Contacts app in Android, press the Menu button and select Import / Export option
- In the options of the transfer, select Export to SD Card, then the contact is saved on the memory card as a .vcf file
- .Vcf transfer the file to your computer
- On your computer, go to your Gmail, select the contact section of the pop-up list in the upper left corner
- Now we have to find the Advanced button and select Import from file, then enter the path to our file with your contacts
- We can only carry out the actions described in the file transfer option during storage of contacts in Gmail
We transfer media
In most cases, the user needs only to transfer photos and videos on Android, iTunes and beautifully cope with this:
- Android connect to your computer and synchronize it with Outlook or Exchange
- Android disconnected from your computer, connect iPhone via USB or Wi-Fi, and then run iTunes
- We can only select Sync with iPhone and specify the content you want to transfer, and the rest will make iTunes itself
Many store their data in the cloud, and in this case you do not need to think about the transfer. Simply install the iOS mobile client version of the cloud service on the iPhone. The absolute majority of the popular cloud (Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft SkyDrive and similar) work well as Android, and on iOS
