 +=====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.
