Hi folks

Just ordered a new Nexus 4 after giving up on my iPhone 4. Thought transferring Contacts would be a piece of the proverbial after doing it on iTunes previously. Now I realise they've removed the option from iTunes to do this!

After some Googling I've tried turning off iCloud (no joy) and created a new CardDAV account but when I log into Gmail the Contacts haven't updated.

Now a bit out of my depth and worried I won't be able to transfer my Contacts over!

Any suggestions please? Cheers

Should be no harder than.
1) sync to icloud
2) export
3) import to gmail.com
4) syncto phone

Or if you are a vodafone customer go to a store and theyll do a transfer on their redbox

Cheers for that. Panic over! Google need to work on their "find duplicates and merge" system though. I have some contacts duplicated three times despite it saying "Yay! You have no duplicates." Hmm...

I had that a bit too. Better than merging people that weren't the same though.

There's a free app you can get called Easy Phone Sync that will allow you to sync most of your iTunes content to you Android handset/device - contacts, photos, songs even some videos.

There's two parts, an app you need on the handset and a piece of software you need on your PC.
Both are free though.
