Hello all, I have just recieved my Nexus 4 last week, i am struggling to transfer all my stuff over from iphone 4s (ios) to android..
such as contacts, notes, calender, emails, etc etc

any help in the matter would be very much appreciated.

Emails - Should be synced to email account...
Media - sync to your pc, it should be in the itunes folder of your pc
I am not sure how to do the others, if I can get a hold of my mom's iPhone I'll see how to do the others.
Does this not work?

Mind you, it looks old.
The google music software is really good for getting your iTunes music onto android. Just download the software and choose the folder where your iTunes music is stored and it uploads it all to the cloud (I think you can have 20,000 songs) then if you get the google music app on your device you can then either stream your tracks or kitchen download them to your phone.

so everytime I try to sync using Motorola Media Sync, it syncs every song, even songs which are already on the phone. This is in contrast to my ipod, which only adds new ITunes songs or takes away deleted ones. Thats what I want my Atrix to do. I cannot wait forever for the phone to sync over 700 songs. How do I make this happen? I sync with Itunes. Also, sometimes it doesn't get songs, takes songs from the same album and put them into different albums or doesn't adhere to what I put in ITunes, help
Don't use iTunes but my kid does and isyncr works well for her. IIRC it cost a couple bucks AMD the WiFi sync add on was a buck. Not sure about how it works with an entire library but playlists sync added/removed songs easy enough for her.
Alternatively, you may try Google Music Beta, it is free during beta phase, it syncs all your musics from itune or Windows media player or specified folders into Google cloud service, then you have the choices to stream your musics thru 3G/wifi or make them offline for playback on your device. You can also play them on any browser anywhere, highly recommended to any Android users.

There are quite a few FREE choices out there, but if your willing to spend a few bucks here is what I'm using.
First off you need a Google account.
Then on your Mac, you can sync Contacts into your Google account by going into the Pref's in Contacts and adding your google account.
Next up is iCal, I use BusyCal, it works very well with Mobile Me and the Cloud, can download a fee trial to see, but it does the job to get the iCal info to and from the GS2.
Finally is Media, I've tried several ones and found that the Missing Sync does the best job to sync iTunes Music and Movies as well as a great job to sync iPhoto.
You will have to have NON-DRM music to get it on the GS2, use NoteBurner to strip it.
What I like about The Missing Sync is that I can plug in the GS2 and it will place my new photos or home videos right into iPhoto without me dragging or dropping anything, works like as if it were an iPhone. I installed an app on the GS2 called AutoMount that does what it sounds like, plug in the USB cable and it automounts the SD card, then auto syncs with the missing sync and then auto disconnects and keeps charging, its great.
SyncMate, the free version will do wonders for PIM, the premium one even adds media syncing capabilites.
If you stick with the free version, you can try using doubletwist for media. Alternatively buy Tunesync or a similar app in Android Market and go on using iTunes.
Just get a PC.
Thanx for the information.
How can i put Office and PDF files on the SD card? My iMac does not see the SD card.

You can also try iSyncr, a very nice tool to sync with iTunes.
i am a big android fan, i've had all the iphone until the 4S and when i switched to the GS2 LTE i fell in love with the robot, so its hard to say this but yesturday i went to the windows 8 launch party and i was really impressed with the WP8 ecosystem and i really want to try a Lumia 920 for a month before i decide if i keep my GS3 or sell it.
This is where it will be decided.
Does WP8 have Google integration, will it sync all my calendar, contacts and other google stuff such as bookmark to my phone and keep em synced with my gmail account OTA??
Does WP8 have a was to sync my itunes playlists and keep em synced a little like iSyncr does on Android?? I wish i could crack my dependency off itunes but i have over 350GB of music and 12 years worth of playlists and cant risk switching to another and corrupting my labrary.
Thanks for your answers
wp8 has google integration in a similar way the iphone does. it will sync contacts, calendar, tasks, and email but will not sync bookmarks.
you should be able to import your itunes playlists, but music management is kind of a mess right now, i would install the desktop sync client and see how it works for you.
I switched from Android to WP8 and very happy that I did. My robotic arm has now turned into something more natural.
Calendar, Contacts, Gmail .. All sync seamless.
Tasks and SMS .. I am still looking for a solution, but not a deal breaker for me. I have already backed up my SMS to my Gmail so they are available if I need them.
iTunes .. i purposely never used iTunes, but this might be a good read in your case. A Google search can bring up tools and utilities that you can use to remove DRM from your iTunes purchased music.
Hope this information is helpful. By all means, I am a happy migrator to WP8. There are tons of Apps available in the marketplace so you will likely find an alternative one way or the other.

FYI, a playlist is just a text file, and itunes should be able to export them just fine. If a playlist isn't working, you can manually fix it. Since itunes is particularly stupid you're guaranteed to have a few playlists be messed up, but there's no reason your music itself would get corrupted...
Glad I read this topic since I was wondering the same thing!
Morning all, I'm eagerly awaiting the delivery of the new Galaxy S4, and as I've mentioned in a previous post I'll be leaving iPhone having used them since iPhone 3g.
Looking to transfer all my my stuff to the new phone, already prepped photos etc and placed them on the SD card I've bought so not problem there, It's the other stuff
Contacts
All SMS messages (important)
Calendar entries, as has 2 years of shifts and appointments in it
Notes
Music..... only just remembered that (should be ok drag & drop?)
Any advise would be great, I've seen some programs for the SMS transfer but don't really want to pay out $39.00 for it

I did something similar for my wife when I weaned off her Apple addiction.. :laugh:
For sms see this post on XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881440
For your calendar you need to set up google sync and sync the ios and google calendars see here http://support.google.com/a/users/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=139206
Music should be a straight copy and paste as long as the tunes are DRM free. Cant help with the notes, my wife didnt use them so I didnt look into it

I recall KIES has an option to extract from the iPhone backup and restores it to the Galaxy? not 100% sure but it seems to ring a bell
I would recommand iSyncr if you use itunes to organise your music (as I do because I once had an iPhone..). It syncs your itunes playlists, including two-way sync of ratings, and works over Wifi. It also copies photos/videos back to your computer, which is handy.
For notes, there is nothing built into Android. I use Evernote (although the new Google Keep looks fairly good). I think that Evernote has import functionality.
For Messages(SMS & MMS) transfer, try a program called Backuptrans iPhone SMS + MMS to Android Transfer. Works fine.
Just curious if anyone syncs Iphoto to their note 3? I have been using Isyncr for Itunes music for a while now. I haven't found software for syncing Iphoto. I've started looking into Samsung Kies but it didn't like that I can no longer use android file transfer if I install Kies. For now I've been manually moving photos to my phone. This is a pain when I add photos to Iphoto.
Am I the only person that uses IPhoto?? If you aren't using IPhoto could you please let me know what you do use to save and organize photos on your computer? Thanks...
