does anyone else have an issue where photos are not being automatically seen by iPhoto ?
When I plus in my NS4G, iphoto opens up, but I do not see the phone in the sidebar ?
Can anyone offer any assistance ?

Huh? Is it possible to get android recognized on iTunes? If so, that's something I didn't know..

OK, sorry guys, I meant to say iPhoto, not iTunes.
When I plug the phone into my mac, iPhoto recognises the phone, but doesn't show up on the sidebar. I've had an incredible and a hero before, and they were both fine...
Sorry, should have clarified.
This has happened to me, end up manually uploading the photos

OS-X 10.7 Lion will now automatically load a picture import application whenever it detects a memory card or anything containing a DCIM pictures directory, including the Nexus S.
As for syncing your phone with iTunes, I highly recommend a program called iTuneMyWalkman. It's an iTunes plugin (for Mac) that you can use to upload your music and playlists to any device.

I'm sorry if this has been asked, but I've checked as much as I could. But does iTunes work on Windows 8? That's the second most used program by me other than chrome, so its kinda important. Thanks in advance

Thanks, since I don't have a flash drive or external hard drive and about 20gigs of music, is there an easy way to transfer my entire library?

Are you currently running Windows 7? You can just install Windows 8 on another partition and browse the partition with music in Windows Explorer. If you're upgrading (not recommended), then you can just upgrade and keep everything intact.
itunes works great but he can't find my brother's iphone --'
i said him "android is better" but he didn't listen to me...
so?? you've got the same problem?
Lol I'm glad I downloaded the google music beta
It uploaded my entire itunes library before I tried out windows 8 and it works beautifully streaming from the cloud.
That was one of the things stopping me from trying it out was that I would've had no music but now all is well

Hey everyone! This is my first post to xda. I have had an iPhone since it's first release. I've owned every generation up to the 4s. Anyway, I've finally decided to make the switch to Android. I think the Galaxy S3 is an incredible device and I am quickly falling in love with it. That being said, I am having a hard time finding a way to transfer my data from the iPhone to the S3. I would like to transfer my:
Contacts
Pictures
Messages (sms and mms)
Email accounts
I know that Samsung released an app for this named "Easy Phone Sync", but it is only available in the UK to download. Other similar apps only seem to sync itunes music and play lists. And not the contacts or messages. Could anyone please help me on how to make this switch? I'd really appreciate it.

If you said the Samsung app is only available in UK, google the apk and install it yourself

easyphonesync dot com
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.galaxysync.android.app however it says it cannot be installed in my country. UK only. :/
I use a Mac and had my contacts synced to Address Book, so I ended up syncing that with google. That takes care of the contacts. Could also copy the contacts to the sim, if youre going to use the same sim.
Photos I had syncing with iphoto, so if I want I could just copy the pictures to Dropbox and copy them over to the phone.
Email accounts I just put them in manually. @me accounts can work with imap and is working on my device.
SMS/MMS I lost which isnt a big deal for me.
*edited for the apps not working outside the UK.
It says it is only available for download in the UK. It won't let me download. Is there a way to be able to download UK apps?

On your PC do a sync with itunes from your iPhone, and also do a back up in case your iPhone backups to iCloud.
Once you have that done download and install Samsung Kies it should detect you have an apple device backup and it will read that in and allow you to transfer the items you ask for into your Samsung galaxy s3 phone. This is the easiest way. No need to download any other apps.

For music its not so good. The transfer speed is slooooooow..lol
Music I would do it through the itunes, air twist in angroid. The contacts I would import them to Gmail account since android is based on google. Pictures can be upload. To the cloud. Other options is that any authorized store can sync everything on your phone

Hey guys, I recently just decided to join the Dropbox/ Cloud storage initiative. I found the best possible Cloud storage service called SugarSync.
The best thing about it, is that unlike Dropbox, You can sync any folder on your pc, as well as having a Universal folder that syncs with every device like Dropbox.
The second best thing is that you get 5GB of storage instead of 2GB, and upto 32GB through referrals, unlike 16GB in Dropbox.
The last thing I love is that with SugarSync you can Sync entire folders with your phone unlike Dropbox, where you can only sync a file at a time.
Anyway instead of me talking about it have a try for yourself. Just click on this link SugarSync, to get 5.5GB storage instead of the 5GB that comes with it, or click the link in my Signature.
Hope you like it as much as I do.
I still prefer box. It gives you 50 gb of storage if u use lg phones

Oh ok, well if that's true, that would be good, but besides that all the features SugarSync gives is pretty awesome =)
Problem with box.net is that it has no PC sync, some people like me really can't live without that... having the same music on a laptop, a PC and my phone, with no effort
Also my C++ projects are on it, so I can.work on them anytime, without a usb stick, and then download in class
So I use dropbox

And the 100mb upload limit is ridiculous. So far Sugarsync to me seems the best option, beter then dropbox definately. Try it for yourselves anyway...
i'll try this one out anyway.

Just a small update, although SugarSync doesnt have a native linux app, It does work fine on Wine, so worth trying out people who are on Linux distros

Yea, also dropbox linux version is actually a lot worse than using it on wine, it installs 3 different things to make it work with gnome or whatever, but normal wine version just works, although the icon in status bar up look lot worse

Well my phone hasn't even shipped yet but I'm impatiently trying to plan everything to get the best use of the phone right away...
The biggest and most important thing will actually be migrating from my iPhone. I guess since all my mail is either GMail or work's exchange, I'm good there... I can easily download the photos on to my computer...
What about contacts? They are in iCloud but is there any easy way to export/import my entire contact list?
Is there anything else I might be forgetting about migrating over?
I suggest entering your icloud contact phone #'s to Gmail's contact list if u haven't. Also get Google Music and it will upload all your songs in itunes to Google's clouds.
you should be able to download an app to sync your contacts to gmail and from there you just log into your gmail account on the N4 and your done. and as mentioned with play music, upload it to googles cloud and be done with that. the migrate should be fairly easy. once u do it you will never go back lol

Does anyone know a good app that will sync a folder on your phone and computer over wifi? It would be nice if I made a change to the fold on the computer or on the phone if it would mimic that on the other.

Sorry I should have gave more info, it's for music. Mostly flac files. I don't want to stream that much lol my data plan would be shot. Since I have a lot of music and download some straight from my phone and do a lot of work to rename folders and songs it would be nice to have it update on both but not were I have to stream them.

For anyone looking for this I found an awesome one. Cheetah sync is what I just started using. You can choose to sync from computer to phone, phone to computer or two way. It's free but it looks like you have to pay 2.99 after a trial period.

Titanium Backup (worth the money) has a media sync add-on that sounds like it would do what you want. I haven't tried it (don't need it).
It does require root, but that's already done
If you have a file server set up (or you have "shared folders" set up in Windows) AndSMB works really well.

I thought about trying titanium media sync but wasn't sure if it's what I was looking for. Haven't heard of andsmb. Cheetah sync seems to be working well. It is nice because I can choose to 2 way sync where if I have deleted a duplicate or added tags or changed a song title it will update on the computer as well

FolderSync
Airdroid
Personally I use AirDroid, and I love it for syncing music/movies and whatnot. You can change up files on there also.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5zYW5kLmFpcmRyb2lkIl0.
I'm using airdroid too, it's not a syncing service, but it gets the job done. As happy as I am switching back to an android device,I really miss iTunes sync, even the tethered sync beats anything I've found for android.

The App you are looking for is BtSync http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html
It can sync folder between multiple devices, it can sync files through wifi LAN or through internet, there is option to sync through wifi only.
BtSynce is available for Android, windows, linux, mac and even for NAS devices :good:
Its very efficient in syncing large multimedia files, also its free.
Google drive?
