Mobile me is what dot mac used to be. for 99 dollars a year, you get a bunch of services and one of them is syncing. there are cheaper ways to go unless you want all the services it offers. it's described on the apple web site.

Do you have a Mobile Me membership? If you do, I think you could just use that to transfer them...

Hi Ignasi and all,

Some additional questions on this.

It looks like my acquisition of a Macbook Pro may happen sooner than I'd thought. I am concerned about getting all my windows contacts over to my Mac when I get it. Someone said I could export them as Vcards, I think. But I'm wondering, I have them all synced to my iphone. Is it possible to take contacts that are on the iphone and sync them onto my new Mac?
TIA,
Donna

Oh, and if you do have a Windows VM or something, the process is
faster because you would only need to sink the contacts with Outlook
and then use iTunes to sink the iPhone. The only inconvenient with
that is that your phone might be formatted for use on a Mac, so the
Windows version of iTunes might ask you to reformat it. If you don't
have much stuff in there you can just do it, because a Windows
formatted iPhone will work just fine with your Mac later...

Hi,

I asked this question once before and got a response that seemed
like it made sense but a domination of pronouns made the process a
bit ambiguous.  Then I lost the email so couldn't go back to review
it again.

To repeat the question:


All of my contacts are on my WindowsT-Mobile  Mobile  Dash phone.
None of my contacts are on my iPhone.  How can I get the contacts
from point a to point b?

The originial message said to sync my Dash with "my computer" and
then automatically sync my iPhone with my computer and all will be
happy.  So, I attached the Dash via USB to my MacBook and nothing
happened.  In Windows if one plugs in a new piece of hardware you
get a message saying it is something it never saw before.  My
Macintosh just sat happily, silent as if nothing happened.

I do not have a Windows computer with me (remember when I was
dubious about Apple, Mac and VoiceOver?  Now I don't travel with a
Windows box anymore.)  so does anyone know how to get the contacts
off of the WM phone and onto either my MacBook or iMac (yes, I do
travel with two Macintoshes, an Airport Express, Time Capsule, one
Nano and now my new iPhone - I guess I made the transition pretty
dramatically)?

Nonetheless, what does one need to do to move contacts from WM to
iPhone.  If it's easier from Symbian, I have a Nokia N82 and can pop
the WM SIMM card in there.

Happy Hacking,
