Getting Contacts from Your Old Planner to Google

If you're switching from your laptop to a tablet, you'll need to get your data transferred. The secret is to use Google wherever possible. If you sync the data with Google, you can get it on your tablet.

NOTE: If you can get the data to Google Contacts at www.google.com/contacts, it will appear on your phone. You can go through your phone and add contacts directly.

Follow these steps to sync your data from Outlook or the Apple Address Book:

  1. Export your contacts as a CSV or vCard file.
  2. Use the import link in the upper-right corner of Google Contacts, as shown in Figure 4–6.
