Sony Xperia z3: Cant transfer messages, apps and so on

Hi!

I have transfered sucessfully all my content from iPhone 5 to my Xperia z3.  

I used Sony Bridge for Mac doing that. It said, that in the end it would be a "pop up" on my phone giving me further instructions how to open the apps, messages on the phone - but It never came one.I can see that the content is over, because it now have 9GB less memory than before, but I have now Idea how I can come in contact with the content.

Ideas, anyone? Slightly_smiling_Face

All the best,

HeatoN

Hi!

Just got my Xperia z3 compact today.

I have problems syncing my Messages (SMS), calendar and my bookmarks from my iPhone to it. Im using Sony Bridge on my Mac and everything works fine, but this message come up: 

https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1375x745q90/633/TGd1aD.jpg

Now it is in Swedish (maybe it goes without saying that I'm a swede Slightly_smiling_Face but the text pretty much says this:

"All content you have chosen from your iPhone will be transfered, exept this:

Messages

Calendar

Bookmarks

More Information

Your Xperia smartphone havent changed. 

Press continue to transfer all your chosen content, exept the ones named above"

I have transfered the data again anad again (and therefore, it says that my xperia havent changed). I can't no matter how much I try to klick on the "more information-link". Nothing happens when I klick on it.

Is anyone having any ideas?

Sorry for all the spelling misstakes in this post. I hope you can understand me! Slightly_smiling_Face

All the best,

HeatoN

Not sure myself - Have you checked the backup and restore app - Settings, Backup and reset/restore

Do you have Z2 or Z3 or Z3 compact? Why have you started so many threads?

You can try the AT&T Mobile Transfer app. It is able to transfer contacts, pictures, and messages over. If your phones are compatible. You would have the app on both phones and would start trafer via peertopeer.

Regarding paid apps, you are able to contact ever developer and tell them you are switching over from Apple to Android, and they will able to download the app with no charge. Just by letting them know your Apple ID number.

please do not use Sony Bridge for Mac - instead install the transfer app on your Sony Z3, use an USB-on-the-Go Cable and connect your iPhone directly to your Z3: You will be able to transfer SMS, contacts, bookmarks, even the apps on your iPhone will be scanned and if found in the Google Play Store corresponding apps will be installed on your Z3

I've done exactly the same... It says all my content has been copied over and matched the apps, however none of them have copied and my iphone messages notes and voice recordings etc aren't showing on my sony! Is there a way to get around this?! I could really do with my content and it would be nice to get some of my iphone apps over onto it too...
