Contact sync

[MI5]

Dear Apple genius's (geniie?) How do I get my wife's contacts off her Nokia (backed up with PC suite) to an iphone 4s please?

Easiest one I know of is to sync contacts from pc suit to outlook, then import the contacts into iTunes and then sync to phone:)

That's the way I used. Just exported to outlook and imported to the iphone.:smileyhappy:

Righto, done that thanks, now the next one.... How do I set up an email account manually? I can't get a virginmedia account to load, just says verifying for ages and can't see how to input port settings manually???

[Liquid]

Unfortunatly I don't know off a way to set port settings until after the account has verified (useless I know)

Is it an old ntl one like mine?

[MI5]

Yes it's an @ntlworld.com name but on android I have to enter @virginmedia.com and then chose manual and I can set ports and all bits individually....

The guide I used is here;

Hope this works:)

brief extract for your specific need is to put a wrong password in then allow it to verify. After which you'll be able to get into the advance settings via general>mail(virgin media account)>advanced all the port and specifics are in there:)

Well that makes sense - enter the wrong details first then it will work

[MI5]

Nope that doesn't work. It doesn't open up any advanced settings. The only "go back" option is "cancel" which deletes the account so you can't get into it through the general tab and to top it all it sits verifying for at least half an hour before it gives up with no way to back up or cancel it !!!!

Haha thus is the iOS way:(


Right hmm, ill check it out see if I can find another way:)
