How to transfer messages and photos from iPhone 4 to iPhone 5?

Bought an iPhone 5. Never had good explanation of moving messages and photos from old iPhone 4. How can this be done?

Hi, there are 2 useful methods you can try:
Solution 1. Restore your iPhone 5 with the backup file of your iPhone 4. The brief simple steps are:
        1.Connect your iPhone 4 with your computer via a USB cable and launch iTunes;
        2. Click on your iPhone in iTunes. In Summary window, choose 'This computer' and click Back Up Now in the backup area to backup your iPhone 4.
        3. Reject your iPhone 4.
        4. Connect your iPhone 5 to your computer through the USB cable. Click it in iTunes.
        5. Click 'Restore iPhone'. Follow the prompts and do what it tells you to do.
        6. When the prompt ask you to set your iPhone, choose the backup you've made in step 2 to restore your iPhone 5.
Note: Messages will surely be restored to your iPhone 5. As for photos, only these one you've captured with your iPhone (saved in Camera Roll) will be restored to your iPhone 5.
Solution 2. Connect both iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 to your computer, try MobileTrans to copy photos and messages from your iPhone 4 to iPhone 5.

    how to transfer music and pictures from iphone to computer

    If the music was purchased from iTunes then you should be able to copy them over to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases if you have iTunes 11 on your computer). If the music came from other sources and you don't have a copy of them anywhere else, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which might be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    For photos taken with the phone then on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard, and on a Mac you can use Image Capture, iPhoto or Aperture : copying photos. To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

    How to transfer contacts and massages from iphone to computer?

    Hi, Shahmeer23c
    iCloud is useful for a lot of things and backing up your iPhone's data is one of them. Included in the data and files that you can safely keep using iCloud are your contacts. The following instructions detail how to transfer contacts from iPhone to computer.
    Step 1. On your iPhone, tap on Settings. On the "Settings" menu, select "iCloud". You will then be taken to the iCloud Settings.
    Step 2. Enable the "Contacts" setting and should you be informed that you'll have to merge your contacts to iCloud, tap "Merge".
    Step 3. Now on your computer, go to iCloud.com and login with your iCloud credentials.
    Step 4. Once you're logged in, click on the Contacts icon to access your address book and all iCloud features for the contacts you've uploaded.
    Step 5. In the address book, click on the cog icon at the lower-left portion, click "Select All", and "Export vCard" afterwards. 
    Step 6. iCloud will then give you a vCard that you can store on your computer. It contains all the contacts you've uploaded to iCloud using your iPhone.

    You don't. File transfer, by Bluetooth, has never been supported on any iPhone. To import pics/videos in your camera roll, read here:

  • Cannot transfer videos and Photos from Iphone 3GS to my PC or MacBook

    I have an Iphone 3G and my wife has a 3GS. On the 3G Windows XP or my MacBook will see the iphone as a camera. But on the 3GS neither OS will see the iphone as a camera. They both just open Itunes
    I took a lot of video over the weekend with the 3GS and I need to get it to my PC without loosing the quality of the video.
    Any ideas?

    not that easy - but I did it! You need Adobe Photo Shop or as they say Adobe Photo Elements. Get started Adobe Photo Shop and klick on the Menu "File" / Import / via iPhone....
    .... and it works. You can import all photos to Photo Shop and save them as you want.

  • How do I transfer music and photos from my iPhone 4s to my iPad

    HHow do I transfer music and photos from my iPhone 4s to my ipad

    You cannot directly transfer anything from an iPhone to an iPad. If your iPad is signed onto the same Apple ID as your iPhone in Settings>iTunes & App Store, then it has access to the same Music library as your phone. Click on the More tab in the iTunes App on your iPad, and then on Purchased, Not on this iPad to see all of the music available to download to the iPad. You can also set the "Automatic Downloads" option to ON in Settings>iTunes & App Store and going forward, any music you purchase on the iPhone or via iTunes on a computer will automatically download to your iPad. Set the same setting on the iPhone to have it do the same.
    As for photos. If both the iPhone and iPad are signed onto the same iCloud ID in Settings>iCloud, then turn on Photo Stream on both the iPad and iPhone to share Photo Stream photos between the two devices. Photos on your Camera Roll that are no longer on Photo Stream, or photos in other Photo Albums would have to be sync'd to the iPad via iTunes on the computer you sync with (assuming you have imported your photos to that computer).
    Cheers,
