HOW TO TRANSFER CONTACTS FROM IPHONE TO SAMSUNG GALAXY S3

When it comes to phone to phone contact transfer, I usually employ Outlook. The trick is connect the source phone to PC and use their software (PC Suite, etc) and sync all contacts to Outlook. Then connect the destination phone to PC and using the phone software, you can then sync Outlook into the second phone.

For this post, we are trying to transfer contacts from iPhone4S to Samsung Galaxy S3 using iTunes, Samsung Kies and Outlook.

1. Connect iPhone to PC. Using iTunes, sync to Outlook (make sure that you dont have other contacts in Outlook)

2. All contacts are now in Outlook.

3. Using Samsung Kies (pronounced as kiss), sync Outlook contacts to Samsung S3

4. All contacts are now in Android Samsung Galaxy S3. Reverse the method in transferring contacts from Samsung Android to iPhone.

SOLUTIONS TO SLOW COMPUTER

To check the specs of the computer:

Start, Run, dxdiag

- On the System tab, you can verify how many memory is installed

- page files are also displayed. Make sure that the page file is not more than half of what is available. This will affect the speed of the computer. You might want to change the digits. How?

- Right click My Computer\Advanced tab\Settings under Performance\Advanced tab\Change under Virtual Memory.

- Select No paging file, Set, Ok, restart the computer. This will reset the value to zero.

- Go back to change the virtual memory to 2048 for initial and maximum size, Set, Ok.

Secondly, you might be running a lot of processes in the background that you usually don't use.

Start\Run\msconfig\Services tab = uncheck all the items that you don't use (Yahoo updater, Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service, etc.)

3rd. On the same window, go to Startup tab = uncheck all items that you don't want to run everytime the computer starts, anyway it is unnecessary. After that, click on Apply, Ok then restart the computer.

4th. Clean the computer: open My Computer, right click Local Disk (C:) properties, Disk Cleanup, check all the boxes, Ok
