How do I transfer contacts to android from iphone backup.

[ToyYoda]

Hello. My iphone was stolen. So I bought an android today and I want to transfer my contacts. Problem is, every solution I've read requires my iPhone, but mine was stolen.

I do, however have my phone backed up to my laptop. Is there away to transfer contacts from backup itunes backup files?

thanks.

If you have a Samsung phone, install Kies onto your computer and run it, and connect your phone. It will detect that you have an iPhone backup and ask you if you want to import data from it into your new phone. This only works for Samsung phones.

Hey,

Same question: my iphone 4 was stolen. I ordered Nexus 4. I do have a backup on my computer. Pictures and video easy to copy. My calendar was synchronized with google - no problems here. My problems (from the most important) are: contacts, notes, pdf files in iBook, history and favorite places in TomTom. Any ideas/suggestions would be highly appreciated!

Thanks,

You can use This Phone to Phone Contact transfer to transfer contact between Android to iPhone,or from computer to iPhone/Android.
One Click to Transfer Data from Phone to Phone

With one click, you can directly transfer data between two phones,no matter Android phone (HTC, Samsung, etc.), Symbian phone (Nokia, Motorola, etc.) or iOS phone (iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, etc).

Sorry to jump in but i've got an iphone 4 and in the next few weeks i'm getting a samsung galaxy.. i usually back up to icloud but if i backup to itunes this kies programme will put my contact, music and pictures on a samsung? (None of my music is itunes bought its all album uploads.. and i have 2000 picutes i'd prefer not to lose)

Recently, i've changed my phone from iPhone to GS3, and i have tried many ways to transfer my iPhone data to Android

You missed the obvious solution, then... Samsung's Smart Switch software.

Sony Xperia handsets include PC Companion software which contains a similar function.

I've found a better solution to this. It's an Android App that uses Bluetooth:

Better than either a local USB 2.0 or wifi connection?

From the Play Store description:

For more than 100 Contacts, fee is about 1$, depending on your region and currency.

So it's payware too?

Why don't you just import your contact from Gmail, if you're on Gmail?

Maybe because neither the OP, or any of the other iPhone users who posted asking about a solution, mentioned anything about using Gmail? The topic is about importing from iTunes/iCloud to Android.

You re right, sorry

Gmail and facebook can save and backup mobile phone contacts .You can log into Gmail or facebook,then sync android phone contacts ,next export Gmail or facebook contacts to iPhone.

Once again, the topic is about importing from iTunes/iCloud to Android with no iPhone available.

It's been said often enough, so please ensure that any further suggestions comply with these criteria. Failure to do so will only confuse anyone seeking a solution, therefore such posts will be deleted as off-topic.
