Just switched from iPhone need help

[rteichman]

I think I got most things covered, however there is one item I can't seem to find an answer to. How do I get pictures from iPhoto to the S3. I can export them a group at a time, but I would love something where I could select a whole bunch (I have them all arranged in albums) to export and eventually sync. I hope I don't need to go via the "cloud" since my total library is 65GB and I only want to select a portion at any given time.

Thanks

I would assume dragging/dropping the images to you're external SD card would work. Honestly, using a cloud like Google Drive would be a lot easier.

You would think one of us would sticky a thread like this by now huh? Someone should really try and make an user guide for ex iphone users if they have the time because we literally get this same topic atleast 4 times a week

I wld do it.. But I'm too lazy, lol

I used to use physical buttons, and then I found button savior

I would try doing it via pc and copying images between both devices, probably the fastest solution

oh man you honestly wrote EXACTLY what i was thinking.. especialy the "im too lazy" part
it would be very useful given the amount of converts

back on topic, would it be any easier usin an sd card+reader?

global s3, UK. Ask me anything and ill reply even if its just an intelligent (or stupid) guess

Yea after you install Kies, then you can drag and drop them in whatever folder you want (phone or SD).

 

[funkylogik]

be warned... Kies is a pr*ck of a programme!

There is another program with 2 way sync that's works well. Syncmate will do what you want it to do. It will also sync iTunes music. It is not a free app though. You need to install it on your Mac, then connect via USB or through wifi.

No recommendation for drop box yet you guys? Shame on y'all lol.

That but it probably would be easiest to plug phone in computer as usb. Copy iphotos over to galaxy s3

 

[rteichman]

Thanks, but my issue is not getting the pictures on to the S3, it's finding a convenient way to get them out of iPhoto I have already got some test pictures on, but I'll look into the Syncmate.

On a side note to any other converts, and please don't flame me. Do you get the impression that the iOS and the Apps are a bit more polished on the iPhone? It's small things like visual voice mail integration and number of messages displayed. Even the facebook app seems "cleaner". I'm just starting and there is a lot I like, maybe I'm just too used to the iPhone after so many years.

 

[funkylogik]

lol ive never had an apple phone but think its kinda common knowledge that the apps are more polished (maybe thats where the money is?) but i think android will get there and u get a lot of quality free stuff.
facebook for android is a disgrace btw lol, i prefer to use m.facebook.com on the browser.
they really need to build a new app from the ground up instead of persisting with that piece of crap lol

I agree 100%. On a the tablet it is completely useless even in the browser it's lame. I heard they are working on a new one.

I looked there. My question I guess was not well stated and maybe I should check on an Apple forum. However I figured there were enough switchers to ask here. My question is not so much how to get pictures onto the phone, I know that. Its how to get pictures OUT of iPhoto in groups. I saw one recommendation about putting my iPhoto library on dropbox (which I have along with google drive and the MS one). My question, before I spent the money to upgrade dropbox to hold all that, is will the phone be able to access the iPhoto library. It's really a database with a long list of unintelligible files.

I have never used iPhoto, but you may want to consider making your own cloud server. I follow this guys youtube channel and loved this idea. I think it would be very affordable and give you infinite options.

Perhaps an "Ex iOS user FAQ" haha

I'm using Aqua mail and you can do this in this app. Open the mail message. Click menu select copy/share when menu opens select Google drive.

Any suggestions on something to make my galaxy s3 sync to Facebook like my iPhone did? It pulled in pictures and information even if I wasn't friends with them- they were just in my phone book. I miss that feature on the iPhone. Thanks.

I'm not sure what you mean. You want to have people you don't know automatically sync with your contacts?
