A friend of mine has linked her SO's iPhone 6S, I think, to his Windows
8.1 computer. She did this trying to get the contacts from his old
pre-Android Verizon phone to the iPhone. She thinks she did this by
using Bluetooth, which makes no sense to me.

Don't ask me why she did this, and I don't want to ask! LOL

I have a previous thread in the Mac group about getting the contacts moved.

Now she would like to break that link between the two. I'm sure it can
be done. I use a Tracphone (mobile devices don't work where I live) and
have no other devices that will sync, and actually no reason to do so.

Her searches on the web have been unsuccessful, and she is smarter than
the average user.

Since I don't use any devices that do this, I don't know what terms to
use for searching to find out how to do this.

Anyone know of a good web site that has easy to follow instructions for
her?


I use bluetooth to keep the contacts on my phone and computer in sync
all of the time. To break the connection, all she has to do is turn
off bluetooth on one of the devices. Some time it is more convenient to
transfer pictures by bluetooth from my phone to the computer, rather
than fuss with sending them .

One of the things that was developed on the Old Palm handhelds was the
ability to transfer vcard though the wireless connection. While today
it is done through bluetooth, the function is still available on todays
phones, or at least some of the phones.

I turn the bluetooth off on both the computer and the phone. I only
turn it on when I want to transfer something. I do not want the
Bluetooth transmission on when I am out in the world.
