Once you've got a license, you can transfer all of your contacts, calendar info, messages and media, restore backups and even wipe your old device. Do note that the single user license is only good for up to five devices using one computer. We transferred everything from an iPhone 6 to a Galaxy S6 as an example so you can see just how easy the process is.
As mentioned above, you'll only get this full functionality with a paid license. 1. Launch the MobileTrans program and connect both devices with a cable to your computer. You'll see both devices populate either side of the first window you see. 2. You might be prompted to enable USB Debugging on and Android and to accept an RSA key (on Android) or ''Trust'' the computer you're connected to (on Apple).
3. You can flip the devices if they're in the wrong place for the transfer you want to make. 4. You might be asked to uncheck the ''encrypt iPhone backup'' in your iTunes settings if you've previously opted for an encrypted backup. Once you've done your transfer you can recheck the encrypted backup option again. 5. Once you've got both phones connected properly all you need to do is check the boxes next to the data you want to transfer: contacts, text messages, calendar, call logs, apps, photos, music and videos.
Naturally, you won't be able to transfer apps from an iPhone to an Android, but you get the idea. We didn't have any videos or text messages on our iPhone either, so we left those blank. 6. Click ''Start Copy'' and sit back and wait. Depending how much media you have on the original phone, the process may take several hours to complete, so make sure you have a power source at the ready. 7. Once the transfer process has completed, you can disconnect both phones.
If the apps you use are cloud-based, like Gmail, Spotify or Facebook, you hardly have to do anything: it’s just a matter of installing the apps, entering your usernames and passwords and picking up from where you left off. Transferring everything else is a bit more complicated, and that's what we'll cover next.
If you don’t already have one, sign up for a free Google Account: you’ll need it to do pretty much anything on Android. Click on Contacts, select the ones you want to transfer and then click on the little gear icon at the bottom left of the screen. You’ll see an option to Export vCard. Clicking on this will export the selected contacts in vCard format. Contacts. You’ll see the option to Import Contacts in the left hand sidebar. Click it, choose the vCard file you just created and let Google do the rest.
This is a little more complicated, but it’s still easy. Go back to iCloud on your iPhone and this time and open the Calendar app. You’ll see a list of your calendars in the left hand sidebar, and a little wireless icon next to each one. Click on that to open that calendar’s sharing menu.
What we want to do here is to create a public calendar we can then import into Google Calendar. To do that, click Public Calendar and copy the entire link you see on screen. Open a new browser window or tab and paste the link, but don’t hit Enter just yet: you need to change the bit that says “webcal” to “http”.
Do that and press Enter, and your computer should now download an .ics calendar file with a really long and incomprehensible file name. Repeat this process for each calendar you want to transfer. Now, we need to log in to Google Calendar on your Android phone and click on Other Calendars in the left hand sidebar. Click on the drop-down arrow and choose Import Calendar, and then select the .ics file you just downloaded.
