HT201269 Can i set up a new iphone 5 on my mac running 10.5 and transfer my data to the new phone
Can i set up a new iphone 5 on my mac running version 5.0.6 and transfer my data to the new phone from my iphone 3
No, you need 10.6.8 for an iPhone 5.
You can purchase Snow Leopard by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
Snow Leopard General requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.

can i set up my new iphone 5s using my ipad (because my work laptop wont allow me to installl itunes).?
No, but you do not need iTunes to setup a new iPhone 5s. Create an iCloud backup for anything you want to transfer to the new iPhone.

I started with one itunes account for my iphone and ipad, and now have a second ipad linked to the same itunes. Can I set up a new itunes account for one ipad without losing what has already been downloaded on it? I want to stop my husbands downloads appearing on my ipad, and vice versa.
A much simpler solution would be to go into Settings > Store and turn off Automatic Downloads

i recently bought a new iphone 5 and gave the old iphone 4 to my mum. every time i take picstures they automatically store on the iphone 4, how can i set up a new icloud for my mum on the iphone 4 but keep everything on my iphone 5?
Your iphone 4 must still be logged into your icloud account. Go to settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of page and tap Delete Account. This will remove all your data from the old device but not from icloud or your iphone 5.
To create a new icloud account for your mum, go to

Why would you set up a new account?
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
Its wrong to assume that everyone has a backup copy.
are you PC or Mac? -
I have an iPhone and iPad on the same account. I gave my iPad to my daughter. Can I set up a new account for my iPhone only so I can back up photos, etc, in privacy?
If you set up a new account on your iPhone you won't have access to all the data associated with the prior Apple ID.

Hi, I have recently upgraded from and Iphone 4 to 5. I completed a back up on my iphone 4 via icloud which went ok. When setting up my new phone I selected to set up as a new phone and not via icloud back up. Is there anyway I can restore my details to my new phone? Thanks Hayley
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to Settings > General > Software Update and install any updates available.
Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from. -
I want to know how I can get all my stuff from my iPhone 3 to my new iPhone five after I have already set up from new phone?
You can restore a backup of the old device to a new one. This will erase everything on the new one before restoring, so this may be an issue if you already have data on the new device.
To do a backup of the old device, iTunes is the safest route, in my opinion. Many users have lost photos when performing a restore from an icloud backup.
An icloud backup does not include everything. For example,only photos in camera roll are backed up. Also, music is not backed up since you get it back from itunes and (for purchased music) from the itunes store.
To restore:

Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your phone. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your phone is new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup. -

I have restored my new iphone 5 but everytime i plug it back into iTunes i am asked if i want to set up a new phone or restore it. I have already set it up and tried to restore it again thinking this might help but i still keep getting the same message. The phone is recognised and shows up in devices but i cannpt sync apps or anything to it.
Have you updated your iTunes on your computer? WIth a device running iOS7, you need iTunes 11.
When you removed iTUnes, did you see something named 'apple mobile device support' or something like it? (The exact name varies from operating system to operating system). If you see that, uninstall it too. That's the drivers for your iPhone and they should self-install when you plug your device in.
If all that is fine, have you checked your cable and USB port? a malfunctioning cable can keep you from syncing. -
If I restore & set up as new phone, can I save contact data?
I've been searching for a while but still can't find the information I'm looking for...
I have an iPhone3G on an O2-UK contract. When I first upgraded to iOS4, the MMS camera icon disappeared from the left of the message box, and I was unable to send or receive any picture messages.
Then, 2 weeks later, when I reset the network settings the Mobile (Cellular) Data Network option (under Settings > General> Network) completely disappeared leaving me utterly baffled. I wasn't too concerned about it before but now I need to send some photos and it's extremely annoying.
I've been to the local Apple Store and the O2 Store twice and neither of them were ultimately able to do anything about it. They changed the Mobile Data Network settings multiple times and instructed me to restore the phone also.
On my latest restore I completely erased all data from the phone and restored from a backup, but the problem was still there... I know it can't be a hardware problem because BETWEEN erasing the phone and restoring it from the backup the MMS icon and network options all reappeared.
My question is this: If, instead of restoring from the backup, I was to bite the bullet and set it up as a new phone, would I be able to keep all my contacts and other data? Is there a way to transfer my contacts temporarily to the SIM while I carry out the operation?
It's extremely annoying that such a simple operation is so difficult to find... Why are contacts, notes and calender events not available to view and edit in iTunes? I can't see any reason why Apple shouldn't include this obvious feature.Thanks for the advice wjosten. I haven't actually done the set-up-as-new-phone thing yet so it's not too late for me to do what you've suggested. There are still some problems though...
1. It says everywhere that contacts and calendar events are supposed to be synched with Outlook, however apparently Windows 7 Starter (for netbooks) does not come with Outlook at all. Can I get it for free somewhere or download some other program?
2. I've tried synching the ccalendar events with gmail, but it doens't work at all.
3. The only luck I've had in this regard is that I've managed to save about half of my notes to gmail, but another stupid little annoying thing which is bothering me is how to save all those un-backed-up notes in the "On My iPhone" account into the backed-up gmail account without moving each individual note one-by-one. -
How can I set up a new iPad with my 5 year old daughters icloud address when the new iPad won't let me cause I've made her part of my family group?
If you want to migrate your phone to a new iCloud account, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

I can't update apps on my iphone 5. theirs an old apple ID. That I don't have the pass word. I've created a new apple ID. but the old one keeps popping up. I have it on the Itunes on the phone but the old one keeps comming up and asking for a pass word.
Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them. You will have to delete the apps from the phone and re-purchase them using your Apple ID.

my daughter and i share the same i tunes account but want to have our own now. how can i set up a new account just for me and still move or transfer my existing apps, contacts etc?
Yes, with the credentials of the account that the media/content was purchased with.
Content is permanently tied to the account it is purchased with and cannot be merged, moved, or transferred to another account. -
I have 1 Mac computer running Lion. Can I set up 'find my iPhone' and 'find my iPad' if both of these devices use different Apple ID's than the Mac does? As in, can I set up 'find my "device"' for my husband's iPhone and my daughters iPad?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
No, but you can log into any of their accounts on your computer at iCloud.com and see their devices.
