How to Transfer My Contacts From an iPhone to a BlackBerry Storm Using a Mac

BlackBerry Desktop Software is a free application from the BlackBerry website.

Transferring contacts between an iPhone and a BlackBerry Storm manually can be time-consuming and frustrating, but using a Mac to do it is much quicker and easier. BlackBerry Desktop Software for Mac was introduced in 2010, and natively syncs your BlackBerry with standard Mac applications such as Address Book. Using this and iTunes, you can transfer your contacts in two stages.

Instructions

Transfer Contacts from your iPhone to your Mac

1. Connect your iPhone to your Mac using the supplied USB cable, and open iTunes if it doesn't automatically start.

2. Click on your iPhone in the "Devices" list in the left side-panel of iTunes. Click the "Info" tab in the top menu in the main window.

3. Check the "Sync Address Book Contacts" check box, and click the "All Contacts" radio button.

4. Click "Sync" in the bottom-right corner of iTunes, and your iPhone contacts will be saved in the Address Book application on your Mac
