How to Transfer Stuff from iPhone to Android Phones?

How can I transfer stuff from apple to Android?
Fellows, had you changed your old mobile phone to a new one during Black Friday or Cyber Monday? Well, I know many people have converted their old iPhone to a shiny new iPhone 5 or even changed  to an Android one. Since iPhone and Android phones use different OS, there comes a question: How can I transfer stuff from iPhone to Android? Actually there are different methods to transfer different stuff.  Here we'll discuss this issue.

Transfer contacts
There are several ways to transfer contacts from iPhone to Android. 
  1. Sync contacts on iTunes to your computer. Then plug the Android phone in the computer via USB cable, find the file that your contacts are in, drag and drop it to the Android.
  2. Use an app named My Contacts Backup. This tool is able to export contacts from iOS devices. You can email the file to Gmail account and import it from there.
Transfer personal photos and videos
You may have shot and stored tons of photos and videos on your iPhone. Transfer and continually view them on your Android.
  1. Based on apple's official guide, personal photos and videos from iOS devices can be transfer to your computer. Then you can simply transfer them to Android. Click here for detailed tutorial.
  2. Don't wanna use computer? Try Dropbox. Once install Dropbox on both iPhone and Android phone and use same account, you can back up personal photos and videos to the cloud. Then restore your stuff to Android.
Transfer commercial music and movies
  1. For purchased music and movies, just connect your iPhone to iTunes and click the Transfer Purchases button. iTunes will begin copying purchases made with any account for which the computer is authorized. After that, click on Music or Movies library to display files, right-click on a specific file and choose Show in Windows Explorer from the drop-down menu. You'll find the file stored in a folder on your computer hard disk. The following step is just a piece of cake, as we all know how to drag and drop it to Android. Click here for more information.
  2. Since some music and movies on iPhone are non purchased on iTunes, it's impossible to grab them to computer directly. In this situation, you may need a professional tool named iTransfer. It's able to transfer non purchased media files from iOS devices to iTunes library or computer hard disk. The tool can also transfer files among devices and iTunes in different apple IDs. Please feel free to visit here for the transference tutorial.
The above methods and are how I normally back up contacts and media files from an iOS device to an Android device. Some of them may seem stupid or inefficient, but they really work for me. If you have know some more advanced and convenient ways to do the transference, please do not hesitate to tell me. Thanks in advance!
