How to recover data from Android to iPhone. Applications using the cloud

Buying a phone has always entailed a not-so-pleasant process of “moving” from an old device to a new one, but Lately In addition to the traditional transfer of contacts, the need for synchronization and other personal information. It's good if your next smartphone will be on the same platform as the previous one, but if you decide to “cross over to the enemy camp,” then the task becomes much more complicated. In this material we will look at two options for transferring data - from iOS to Android and in the opposite direction.

iOS → ANDROID

iOS can synchronize contacts, calendar and mail with a Google account, and if you at one time mailbox If you choose Gmail, there is nothing to worry about - just log into your account on your Android smartphone, and all your information will immediately become available on your new phone.

If you did not expect to “move” from iOS in the future, then most likely this data is tied to iCloud, in which case the procedure will be somewhat more complicated.

Contacts

To transfer contacts on your phone, you need to connect your iCloud account and enable their synchronization (settings – iCloud – (log in to your account) – enable Contacts). Now they need to be “pulled out” from the cloud - to do this, open the page www.icloud.com on your computer, log in to your account, then go to the Contacts item and select the necessary contacts.

After that, in the menu called up by pressing the gear button, select Export vCard, and a VCF file with a list of contacts will be downloaded to your computer. Now open the page www.google.com/contacts, in the left menu select “Import contacts” and open the downloaded VCF file (if you already have access to preview version updated “Contacts”, in which import does not yet work, you need to open the “More” list in a similar menu on the left, select import from it, after which you will be asked to go to old version this service). After this, all that remains is to enable contact synchronization in the settings of the new Android smartphone.

Calendar

Transferring events in a user calendar looks very similar - in the iCloud settings we enable calendar synchronization, on the website www.icloud.com we go to the appropriate section and in the list of available calendars we click on the Share icon to the right of its name. In the menu that appears, enable the Public Calendar option and copy the link that appears (webcal://….). We insert it into address bar new page, replace webcal with http, then press Enter - as a result, a file with a name of hundreds of characters and without an extension is downloaded to the computer. This is normal text file, which can easily be given a more decent name. To connect it to Google Calendar, open the page www.google.com/calendar, find the Other Calendars item, select Import calendar in the drop-down menu and open the just downloaded file from your computer - after that, all the events from it will be added to your calendar on your Google account.

Mail

There shouldn’t be any problems with “moving” your mailbox - if you don’t use Gmail, but iCloud (or any other service), just search in Google Play any client that supports it - for example, Mailbox or myMail.

Bookmarks

Here we will consider the most common option - use on iOS standard browser Safari and “moving” to popular ones Android Chrome and Firefox.

Transferring bookmarks from Safari is also possible with using iCloud(in the device settings, of course, you need to enable their synchronization), however, for this it is not the resource website that is used, but the iCloud for Windows client.

In it you need to select “Bookmarks”, specify the browser (Chrome or Firefox) in the options, click Apply and select Merge. After this, the utility will offer to download the iCloud Bookmarks extension for one of these browsers, and as a result, your bookmarks from mobile Safari will appear in the desktop browser. If you chose Chrome, you don’t need to do anything further (provided that you are logged into your Google account). With Firefox, the task will be somewhat more complicated (especially if you have not used synchronization of user data in this browser before) - you need to set up synchronization in it, for which you need to log into your Firefox account (or create one), do the same on your Android smartphone and enter the code received there in your desktop browser.

If you install iCloud for Windows If you don’t want to, you can use iTunes instead (to do this, syncing bookmarks with iCloud must be turned off in the smartphone settings). To do this, you need to connect your iPhone to your PC, launch iTunes, open the device page in it, go to the “Information” tab, find the “Other” item in it and select “Sync bookmarks with:” (where there may be options Internet Explorer and Safari), then click “Apply”. Now the bookmarks from the iPhone are combined with the bookmarks of one of these desktop browsers - all you have to do is run it and export the bookmarks to an HTML file, and then import it into the desktop browsers in the standard way Chrome versions or Firefox, from where they are described in previous paragraph way “sent” to an Android smartphone.

Photo/video

To transfer photos/videos, you can use Google service+ Photos – for this you need to install on iPhone official Google+ client, connect to your Google account and enable auto-upload for photos and videos, then select “Download all photos and videos”. Once the download is complete, you will be able to see all your content in the Photos app on your new Android smartphone. If you do not want to use the Google+ service, you can perform this procedure without connecting to the Internet at all. To do this, you need to connect your iPhone to your computer via USB, open Explorer, right-click on the smartphone icon in the list of devices and drives and select “Import images and videos.” After this, an import window will appear in which you can configure the parameters of this procedure (select a folder, delete files after copying is completed, etc.). Now you just need to connect your Android smartphone to your PC and use Explorer to copy the resulting folder to its memory (or to an SD card).

Music

Perhaps one of the most difficult tasks when “moving” is, of course, if your music library is stored in iTunes, and not in the form of MP3 tracks organized into folders (in which case the whole task comes down to simple copying files from PC to smartphone using any file manager).

Google itself recommends using its Google player Play Music, which can upload your iTunes library to its “cloud”, from which it can then be listened to not only on an Android smartphone, but also in a browser on a PC. To do this, you will have to install the Google Music Manager utility on your PC and indicate in it that your music library is in the iTunes library, and then wait for the download to complete (in total this moment the service allows you to download up to 50 thousand tracks, which will be more than enough for any user).

If streaming your own music over the Internet doesn’t appeal to you, and you don’t want to bother with downloading each album separately (or you use another audio player instead of Google Play Music), you’ll have to turn to one of the third-party utilities. Unfortunately, they usually turn out to be shareware - such as iSyncr. This procedure can also be performed using the DoubleTwist audio player, for which there is a desktop client with an interface similar to iTunes.

ANDROID → iOS

As noted at the beginning of the article, iOS can synchronize contacts, calendar and mail with a Google account, so if you used it on an Android smartphone, the task of “moving” from Android to iOS will be much easier than in the opposite direction.

Contacts

If your contacts in your old phone are linked to your account Google posts, transferring them will be an elementary task. First, you need to make sure that contact synchronization is enabled on your Android smartphone (most likely, Settings – General – Accounts & Sync), and the smartphone itself has connected to the Internet at least once after you edited contacts in last time. Now it’s enough to add a new Gmail account in the iPhone settings (Settings - Mail, addresses, calendars) and enable synchronization for all available items (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Notes) - after which everything listed will appear in the new smartphone.

If you stored contacts locally, in the phone itself, then the task becomes a little more complicated - in the standard dialer you must first export all such contacts to a separate VCF file (in internal memory or to an SD card), and then import them back, but not into the phone’s memory, but into a Google account. Further actions, as you might guess, repeat the procedure described above. If your contacts application does not support import/export of all records en masse, you will have to edit each contact individually, manually transferring it to your Google account.

If you want to finally break with the “Google past,” you should import your contacts into iCloud. To do this, we create a copy of them in a VCF file (either on the phone, as described above, or on the website contacts.google.com, where you need to select the vCard format), and then import it on the page www.icloud.com/#contacts (menu call settings using the gear button and the Import vCard item). Note that in the first case, you may receive an error message “Unable to import vCard” without any explanation - most likely this means that your VCF file was created in 2.x format, while iCloud requires the version not lower than 3.0.

Calendar

Google Calendar automatically connects to your new iPhone along with contacts, mail and notes (according to the procedure described above), so no additional steps need to be taken (except to make sure that iOS settings in your settings account Google calendar also has synchronization enabled).

If you plan to give up your Google account, the calendar should be imported into iCloud, but this is no longer the case. trivial task. Of course, if you have a Mac, everything is simple - on the page www.google.com/calendar need to choose required calendar, in its settings, click on the ical button in the “Private calendar address” section, copy the suggested URL, paste it in a new tab and press Enter - after this an ICS file will be copied to your computer, which needs to be “fed” system application Calendar.

For PC owners on Windows based everything is more complicated - for this purpose they will have to use iTunes and Microsoft Outlook, since iTunes can only sync calendars with this program. You will need to import the resulting file into Outlook, then connect your iPhone to your PC, open iTunes on your device’s tab, go to the “Information” sub-item and select the desired calendar in the “Sync calendars” section. Another option is a third-party utility - for example, Copy My Data (Android, iOS), which can transfer not only the calendar, but also contacts, and photos/videos.

Mail

Of course, the easiest way is to continue using your old Gmail account, but you can also create a new @icloud.com account. To do this, in the iOS settings, select the iCloud section and turn on the Mail application in it - after that you will be prompted to register a new mailbox. And in order to receive correspondence sent to it old address, you need to enable redirection for it - in Gmail, call up the settings (gear in the right top corner), in which in the “Forwarding and POP/IMAP” tab we add a new iCloud address using the “Add forwarding address” button. After this, you will receive a confirmation email - click on the link and return to Gmail settings and make sure that in the line “Forward copies of incoming messages to addresses:” is indicated correct address, then click “Save changes”.

Bookmarks

Most likely, on Android you used Chrome, but on iOS you will switch to Safari (if you plan to continue using Chrome on iOS, you don’t need to read this section further - the browser itself will synchronize your bookmarks on the new device).

So, in Chrome, select the bookmark manager (Ctrl-Shift-O), click on the gear in the upper right corner and select “Export bookmarks”. We import the resulting HTML file into Internet Explorer, after which we connect the iPhone to the PC, launch iTunes and select “Sync bookmarks with: Internet Explorer” in the device properties. Just below, in the “Add-ons” section, check the box next to bookmarks and click “Apply” - after that your bookmarks will appear in mobile Safari.

Photo/video

Everything is simple here. We connect the Android smartphone to the PC via USB, copy photo and video files to any folder on the hard drive (usually they are located on the device in the DCIM folder), then connect the iPhone, launch iTunes, go to the “Photos” tab in the device menu and turn on synchronization, and then select the folder in which the necessary files. If it contains a video, additionally check the box next to “Include video in synchronization.”

If you don't have iTunes (and don't want to install it), you can use third party utilities synchronization - for example, the already mentioned Copy My Data, or PhotoSync (Android, iOS).

Music

Transferring music, like photos/videos, is also carried out simply, and according to the same scheme. The music library is copied from the Android smartphone to the PC, dragged into iTunes, and then in the settings connected iPhone On the “Music” tab, synchronization is performed - either the entire library en masse, or only selected artists.

Results

As you can see, the procedure for transferring personal data, although quite troublesome, is ultimately solvable - after it all that remains is to “transfer” your favorite applications, or rather, install their versions for new platform or find the most suitable analogues. However, this is a topic for a separate article.

IN last years users were divided into two conditional teams: some prefer to work in the operating room Android system, others in iOS. As statistics from many analytical companies show, many users are switching from iOS to Android. For what exact reasons, it’s impossible to say for sure, but Android today is truly one of the most popular and multifunctional mobile operating systems.

If the user decides to switch from one mobile system to another - in our case, this is the OS from Apple and Google, then he will have at least several problems at once, and one of the most acute is transferring contacts from iPhone to Android.

What to do if there are hundreds of contacts with photos stored on your iPhone? email addresses, postal addresses and other information?

We have described several possible ways. Which one to choose is up to you!

Transfer contacts to SIM

This option was available on the old, first mobile phones, supporting polyphonic music, black and white pictures. Contacts can be saved to a SIM card and retrieved from your iPhone. Next, you insert the SIM card into Android and you can also make calls and send SMS using the entire contact list from the previous device.

But there are several disadvantages:

1. The SIM card has a limited amount of memory.
2. The SIM card does not support saving photos and pictures attached to certain contacts.
3. If the SIM card is lost, then all your contact information will no longer be recoverable, because issuance of duplicate SIMs from mobile operators carried out with “clean memory”, and contacts are personal information, and communication service companies have no right to store such data.

How to Transfer Contacts from iPhone to Android via Gmail

You need to configure it on your iPhone Gmail by specifying your login and password. In your mail settings, activate the “Contacts synchronization” item. Next, open the Apple brand settings iCloud programs and turn off synchronization, just turn it off without deleting the phone book.

Now go to your iPhone's Accounts settings and set your default email to Gmail. All contact details in automatic mode will be synchronized with yours Gmail account. But keep in mind that this method works only with those accounts Gmail entries, in which contacts have not been added before!

If contacts have been added to your Gmail mail, then simply register new account and synchronize your data. In the future, you will be able to log in under this account on your Android device and all contacts will be automatically transferred to this device.

Transfer contacts using iCloud

This method involves creating a backup copy in vCard format, which can later be imported into Google mail settings.

1. You need to go to Settings on your iPhone and select Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
2. Next, go to “Accounts” and select the iCloud tab.
3. Open the iCloud service and activate the “Contacts” menu item.
4. Opening Safari browser and go to the official website of the service www.apple.com/icloud. Here, enter the information from your iCloud account and select “Contacts” from the menu. Look at the screen. There will be a wheel icon in the bottom corner. Click on it and click on the “Select All” tab. Now click on the wheel icon again and click the “Export to vCard” button. The system will automatically download a file with contact information to your device.
5. Now you need to go to the website www.gmail.com, log in with your account (which will be used on the Android device), and select “Mail”.
6. Next, click on the “Contacts” tab.
7. As soon as the page is updated, find the “Advanced” item and click on the “Import” button. Specify the path to the vCard file, after which all contact information from the iPhone will be automatically transferred to your Gmail account.

It is also possible to transfer contacts manually. For example, you have created a copy of your contacts to a vCard file. You can send this file to your Android device, go to “Contacts”, select “Settings” there and specify the path to the file in the corresponding menu item.

The only downside to transferring using the vCard data format is the loss of images. That is, for example, if you had a photo attached to each contact on your iPhone, then after creating the file and synchronizing with the account from Google photos will be lost. But it is not a big problem, because photos can simply be transferred via Bluetooth to Android and re-installed for each contact.

In general, we can say that transferring contacts from iPhone to Android is, in principle, not difficult, even if you are a novice user. Remember that Gmail's cloud data synchronization system is very useful, no matter how much contact information and other information you store on your device.

We also strongly recommend that you do this several times every 1-2 months. backups contact details and store them separately in vCard format, for example, on a computer hard drive or a separate USB drive. This is very useful in situations such as:

• Theft of a mobile device;
• Account hacking;
• Losing access to your Gmail account.

Apple technology makes you fall in love at first sight and for a long time. However, many people today cannot afford iOS devices, the main reason for this is the financial crisis. Even before the crisis, they were not cheap, but after the fall of the ruble, prices for i-gadgets became absolutely sky-high.

That’s why recently more and more Russian Apple fans are switching to Android smartphones. AND main question The problem that “defectors” face is how to transfer their contacts from iPhone to Android. There are many answers to this. In this article we will talk about the most popular ways to transfer contacts from iPhone to Android.

By the way, you will also find here the answer to the opposite question - how can you transfer contacts from a smartphone on the Android platform to an iPhone. But more about this a little later, but for now we’ll tell you...

Gmail

Google mail - great way send contacts for those who have a Gmail account. In order to transfer data using it, we perform the following sequence of data:

• iPhone manipulations:

1. Unlock your smartphone and go to the “Settings” section.
2. We look for the line “Mail, addresses, calendars” in it, and tap on it.
3. In the menu that opens, in the “Accounts” section, select “Add an account.”
4. A new window will appear in front of you - in it you need to tap on the line “Google” and log in.
5. In the next window, move the slider opposite the “Contacts” item to active position- it means that phone numbers now synchronized with mail.

Here and below, instructions are given for Samsung smartphone. Why? Right! Because Samsung is the most popular Android smartphone. However, the menu items for all gadgets running the “green robot” are almost identical.

1. We take an Android device and go to the “Settings” menu, tap the “Accounts and synchronization” item.
2. In the new window, select Google and go into it (needless to say, the account you log into from your Android device must be identical to the one you specified on the iPhone).
3. We select the items for synchronization - we are interested in “Contacts”, put a tick in front of the corresponding line.
4. All! Now all your numbers should appear in the phone book of your Android smartphone.

iTunes

If you are in the process iPhone operation have come across the question of how to transfer music to a smartphone from a PC, you are, of course, familiar with first-hand iTunes program, because exchanging files between a computer and an Apple gadget is possible only through it. Of course, as you may have guessed, you can also synchronize contacts using this program.

How to copy phone book data from using iTunes? We perform the following steps:

• iPhone manipulations:

1. Connect iPhone to PC.
2. We wait until iTunes starts and the device is identified.
3. Click on the recognized iPhone and select the “Information” section in the menu that appears.
4. Now check the box “Synchronize contacts”, and in the drop-down menu click on Google Contacts and perform synchronization.

• Manipulations with an Android smartphone

We perform all the same manipulations with the Android device as in the previous instructions:

1. Go to “Settings”, then “Accounts and synchronization”.
2. Select Google, log in and indicate “Contacts” as one of the synchronization points.

iCloud

iCloud - cloud service from Apple, which can store any data the user has on the phone, including, of course, contacts from the iPhone. And, therefore, it is very logical that this service can also be used to transfer contacts from iPhone to Android. Moreover, the user has the opportunity to choose one of three methods:

iCloud+browser

To transfer contacts using this method, you will need a desktop PC with Internet access. What do we do? Here is the sequence of actions:

1. Let's open the browser and go to the iCloud website - for this you will need an Apple ID, but we have no doubt that you have it, otherwise how would you download applications from the App Store.
2. In the menu that opens, select “Contacts” and wait until all the numbers are loaded.
3. Select all contacts and click on the “gear” on the left, in the drop-down menu click on the item “ Export vCard"—at this moment, a VCF extension file will be created—all contacts will be saved in it.
4. All that remains is to transfer this file to your Android device and run it on it - when you run the file, all numbers will automatically be transferred to the contacts of your new smartphone.

iCloud+other cloud service

This method is good because you don’t need a desktop PC; we can get by with smartphones and, for example, DropBox program- the corresponding application must be installed on both the iPhone and the Android gadget (you can use another cloud service - OneDrive, for example). So, we perform the following steps:

• iPhone manipulation

1. Through mobile browser Safari, go to the iCloud website using your Apple ID.
2. Tap the “Contacts” menu, then the “gear” and select “Select all”.
3. Let’s wait until all the numbers turn “blue”, click on the “gear” again and select “Export vCard” this time - the process of creating a VCF file will begin.
4. When the file is generated, Safari will automatically open new page, and you will need to click on the “Open in...” item and, from the proposed options, select DropBox (or, as we said above, another cloud service).

• Android Manipulation

1. Opening DropBox app on an Android smartphone.
2. We download the generated VCF file from the cloud and wait until it automatically exports contacts to phone book.
3. That's it, you can study the transferred list!

iCloud+CardDav program

Another cool way transfer data to your note - iCloud + CardDav application. To transfer data using it, we only need an Android smartphone with the CardDav program installed on it. Here's what to do:

1. Download the application.
2. Select the CardDav account, specify p02-contacts.icloud.com as the server, and username and password as Apple data ID.
3. Set any name for the created account, check the box next to “Synchronize only from the server to the phone,” and click “Finish.”
4. Ready! In a few seconds, all numbers from iCloud will be transferred to your Android smartphone.

Special Applications

Well, since we’re talking about programs that allow you to transfer contacts from Android to iPhone, we can’t help but talk about three more very attractive applications.

"Yandex.Moving"

The name is very eloquent, right? Transferring contacts from one phone to another using Yandex.Move is very simple. We perform the following actions:

• iPhone manipulations:

1. Install "Yandex.Disk".
2. Log in using the username and password created for the Yandex.Moving application.
3. Go to the program menu, click “Settings”, then “Move from phone to phone”.
4. Enter the code generated when transferring contacts to the cloud and tap on the “Start transfer” item.
5. Ready! After a few seconds, the synchronization will complete.

My Contacts Backup

Another answer to the question - how to synchronize the phone books of an iPhone and an Android smartphone - the My Contacts Backup application. With it everything is even simpler than with Yandex.Moving.

• iPhone manipulations:

1. Install My Contacts Backup.
2. Open the program, click the Backup button - the process of creating a VCF file will begin.
3. Is the file formed? Select the Email button and send a letter with it to your mailbox.

• Android Manipulations:

1. We go to mail from the smartphone and download the VCF file.
2. The numbers will be transferred to the phone book of your Android gadget automatically.

Bump

And finally, we have saved for you another cool program Bump - it allows you to transfer contacts as simply as possible:

1. Install the application on both smartphones and launch it.

An important point is that both devices must also be connected to the Internet.

1. Open at iPhone list contacts, wait until the program finds phones available for transfer.
2. As soon as required device will be detected, the “Bump now!” button will appear.
3. Has it appeared? Click “Connect” and watch the “miracle”; all numbers will be transferred from the iPhone to the Android device.

By the way, you probably already guessed that this method works in both directions as conveniently as possible, that is, you can also transfer contacts from Android to iPhone using it. As a matter of fact, the services My Contacts Backup, Yandex.Move and Gmail are also perfect for transferring contacts from Android to iPhone.

Let's summarize

As you can see, you no longer need to transfer numbers manually or send them via SMS as before - today there are a lot of ways to transfer contacts from one smartphone to another, even if the devices are running on different platforms. Isn't it true that progress is so great?!

When changing one Android smartphone to another running on the same OS, there should be no problems with transferring information. But what if data is transferred between devices on different operating systems, for example, from Android to iOS? Is it possible to move them without causing serious problems?

Fortunately, the developers of both operating systems have provided the ability to transfer user information between devices. For this purpose they were created special applications, but you can also use some third-party methods.

Method 1: Move to iOS

Move to iOS is a special application developed by Apple, which is designed to transfer data from Android to iOS. You can download it in for Android and in the AppStore for iOS. In both cases, downloading and using the application is free.

In order for you to be able to transfer all important user data in this way, you need to fulfill certain requirements:

• Both devices require this application to be installed;
• The Android version must be at least 4.0;
• iOS version - no lower than 9;
• iPhone must have enough free space to accept all your user data;
• It is recommended to fully charge the batteries on both devices or keep them on charge. Otherwise, there is a risk that the energy reserve may not be enough. It is strictly not recommended to interrupt the data transfer process;
• To avoid unnecessary load on Internet traffic, it is recommended to use a Wi-Fi connection. For more correct transmission, it is also advisable to disable other programs that can use Wi-Fi;
• It is recommended to enable the mode "In airplane" on both devices, since data transfer can be interrupted even by a call or an incoming SMS.

When the preparatory stage is completed, you can proceed directly to transferring contacts:

This method of data transfer is the most acceptable and correct, but it does not always work correctly. Some data may not be displayed on iPhone.

Method 2: Google Drive

Fortunately, in the new iOS versions The transfer can be done by linking your Google account to your phone. But first you need to set up synchronization on your Android device:

Now all you have to do is bind Google account to iPhone:

Music, photos, apps, documents, etc. you will have to transfer it manually. However, to simplify the procedure, you can use special applications. For example, Google Photos. You will need to download it on both devices, and then synchronize by logging into the same account.

Method 3: Transfer via computer

This method involves downloading user information from Android to a computer and then transferring it to the iPhone using .

If there are usually no problems transferring photos, music and documents from Android to a computer, they will arise with the transfer of contacts. Fortunately, this can also be done in several ways and relatively quickly.

Once all user data has been safely transferred to the computer, you can begin transferring it to the iPhone:

There is nothing complicated about transferring user data from Android to iPhone. If necessary, the proposed methods can be combined.

The question of how to transfer data from iPhone to Android worries many users who decide to switch from one operating system to another. Purchasing a new gadget always poses the need to transfer old user data, contacts, photos, music. Convenient if the previous device had the same shell software. But if you switch to another operating system, then the task becomes more complicated.

iOS is convenient and reliable operating system. It supports synchronization of contacts, as well as calendar and mail with Google profile, if you specify it as a mailbox. In this case, you don’t have to worry about anything, just log into your account on your Android phone. Immediately after this, the data will be available for viewing on the new gadget.
If you didn’t think in advance that you would transfer data from iPhone to Android, then most likely you linked all the data to the iCloud service. This makes the procedure a little more complicated.

Contacts

To transfer data from your contact book, you will need to connect iCloud account and activate synchronization. You can do this by going to the iCloud settings menu, where you need to launch Contacts. All we have to do is extract data from the cloud, for which we go to the page www.icloud.com on the computer. On it, enter the data from your account, click “Contacts” and mark the necessary contacts.

Next, press the gear key and then click on the “Export vCard” item. A file in VCF format will be saved to your computer, where you will find all the contacts selected in the previous step. Go to the page www.google.com/contacts, select “Import contacts” in the left menu and open the previously downloaded file. If you are using a beta version of the updated Contacts, where import does not yet function properly, you should select “More” in the menu on the left. IN full list select import, after which you will be prompted to return to previous version of this service. All that remains is to activate contact book synchronization in the settings of the new Android device.

Calendar

Now let's move the calendar data from iPhone to Android. Transferring events from a user calendar is done as follows. Let's move on to iCloud settings, where you need to allow calendar synchronization. On the resource www.icloud.com, go to the appropriate section and in the list of available calendars look for the Share icon located to the right of its name. In the menu that appears, select the Public Calendar option, and then copy the link (webcal://….). Opening new page browser and paste it into the address bar. Replace Webcal with http, Enter. This will cause the computer to save a file with a name of hundreds of characters. It is a standard Text Document, which can be given any name. To connect it to Google Calendar, open the link to the page www.google.com/calendar in the browser, go to the “Other Calendars” section, where in the drop-down menu click Import calendar. Now open the downloaded file from your PC, after which all events will be transferred to your calendar on your Google account.

Mail

“Moving” a mailbox is the easiest thing to do if you do not use Gmail, but iCloud or another service. Visit Google Play and download any mail client. For example, Mailbox or myMail will do.

Bookmarks

The question of how to transfer data from iPhone to Android smoothly moved on to bookmarks. We will analyze the classic version, because most iOS users Safari browser is used and “switches” to Chrome or Firefox on Android OS. Transferring data from Safari is also done using iCloud service(We first enable synchronization in the device parameters). But this needs to be done not using the site, but through iCloud app for your computer.

In it you need to select the “Bookmarks” item, set the browser in the settings, press the Apply button and select Merge. After the above described manipulations, you will be prompted to download special utility iCloud Bookmarks for one of the browsers to completely transfer bookmarks from Safari to Chrome or Firefox. If you have previously logged into your Google account, you will not have to do anything else. Using Firefox browser the task will be somewhat more difficult, especially if synchronization was previously disabled. First of all, you will need to activate synchronization, for which we log into your Firefox account or register it. We do the same on an Android phone and enter the received code in the browser.
If you do not want to install iCloud on your computer, you can use iTunes instead. But there is one peculiarity - you need to activate synchronization with iCloud in the smartphone settings. For this purpose, connect the iPhone to the PC, turn on iTunes and open the device page in it. Select the “Information” tab, where we find the “Other” item. Next, select “Synchronize bookmarks from Safari browser” and click “Apply”. After these steps, the bookmarks from your iPhone are combined with the bookmarks of one of your desktop browsers - you just need to turn it on, export the bookmarks to an HTML file and import standard method to desktop versions of Chrome or Firefox. From them, they are transferred to the Android phone in the manner described above.

Photos and video files

To move photos and video materials, it is convenient to use the Google+ Photos service. To do this, install the official one on your iPhone.

Transfer music from iPhone to Android

Transferring music will be most difficult if your music library is stored in iTunes, and not dispersed across folders of MP3 tracks. In the latter case, the task will be simpler - you only need to copy data from your computer to your phone using any file manager.
Google itself recommends using the convenient Google Play Music player, which can download your music iTunes files to your “cloud”. From it, music can be played not only on an Android smartphone, but also in a computer browser. To do this, just download the Google Music Manager utility to your PC, where you need to indicate that your music library is located in the iTunes library.

If you don’t like streaming your music over the Internet, and you don’t want to download each album separately (or you use a third-party audio player), then you’ll have to resort to the help of third-party snails. But unfortunately, most of them are only shareware. The DoubleTwist audio player, which has a desktop client with an interface similar to iTunes, will help you cope with the procedure.
Now you know how to transfer all data from iPhone to Android, which will be useful when buying a new gadget.
