 +=====Send songs from MacBook to iPhone=====
 +Digested from 20231209 conversation with Apple rep in store.
 +
 +You have a number of songs on your MacBook that you want to put on the iPhone.  You don't want to sync all songs, you only want to transfer a number of them.
 +  - Import songs into Music app.
 +    - Command-O
 +    - Select songs
 +    - import
 +  - Still in Music app, select songs to be sent to iPhone
 +  - Sync [just these songs?] and choose your iPhone as destination.
 +
 +As of 20231211 I haven't tried this yet.  I'll update these steps once I do.\\ 
 +If you have any comments or suggestions, let me know.

 +    * smi bought IBESTWIN, Amazon B08BCDVY2W on 20240202. It works but it's missing tweezers that are needed; the IBESTWIN link to video fails and when you get to all the videos there isn't one for iPhone SE 2016 or for any iPhone SE.

 +Tips when replacing battery:\\  
 +Before 
 +  * Before replacing battery, discharge phone battery to 10% or less (prevents fire risk during replacement process) 
 + 
 +During 
 +  * When removing battery from iPhone, be careful not to puncture or bend the battery 
 +  * Heat the phone w/hair dryer to loosen adhesive; or put in refrigerator to deactivate glue 
 +  * When removing adhesive, try to grab the adhesive strip with your small screwdriver turned sideways and then pull and roll the adhesive to it 
 + 
 +After 
 +  * Rick Makes suggests: Charge battery to 100%. Let it discharge completely. Charge battery to 100%.  It's calibrated. 
 +  * Another opinion: Calibrate the new battery.  
 +    * Drain phone till it dies.  
 +    * Charge completely don't turn it on.  
 +    * Then turn it on and don't touch for 30 mins.  
 +    * Plug in the charger and let it charge for 30 mins without using.  
 +    * When it's fully charged, your battery is calibrated.

 +=====Copy Contacts and Notes from iPhone=====
 +
 +===Contacts===
 +From [[https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/export-contacts-iph075ddebf2/ios|Apple support guide]]\\ For iOS 17
 +
 +  - Open Contacts app on your phone
 +  - Tap Lists in the top-left
 +  - Touch and hold an existing list (like All Contacts)
 +  - Tap Export, select the fields you want to include or select all fields, then tap Done
 +  - Choose a method to send or save the exported contact cards, such as Messages or Mail
 +
 +===Notes===
 +
 +To transfer a single note (ie, sending one note at a time)
 +  - On your iPhone, open your Notes app.  
 +  - Tap one note, tap the three dots inside a circle in the upper right corner
 +  - Select "Send a Copy" and then choose "Email"
 +  - Send
 +
 +To copy more than just one note at a time, you need to install software to do this.\\ 
 +Alternatively you can go to iCloud.com, login, and edit or view your notes and copy them to your computer.
 +
 +Some applications smi found via DuckDuckGo search, that may help at a cost.  Prices are as of 2/4/2024, Windows computer use.  I'm not making any recommendations as I haven't tried any of these.
