Lost iPhone - How do I restore data from previous phone to new one?

I recently lost, then replaced my iPhone. Does anyone kknow how I can access the previous data stored for the old, now lost phone?

iTunes maintains a backup for the iPhone that is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process. This link provides the data included with the iPhone's backup.

When you connect a new iPhone to iTunes the first time, you should be prompted to transfer the backup for a previous iPhone to the new iPhone. This must be followed by a sync with iTunes.
If you weren't prompted to transfer the backup for your previous iPhone to your new iPhone or you declined this prompt, you can restore your new iPhone with iTunes from the backup for your previous iPhone.

  • Restoring iPhone backup from previous phone to new one

    Hi All,
    I have just created a new iPHone in my iTunes it actually the same (1st generation iPHone) but I have updated to 2.0 and in the iTunes instead of restoring to original backup that I did before upgrading. I have selected to create a new Iphone. Now I have new iPHone shows up in iTunes but it's missing all of my camera photos and SMS, call history and favorites, and I'm sure I will find more things that are not on this new iPhone.
    The question is:
    How do I go back and upload the backup from the old 1.1.4 Iphone into this new one that I have created in iTunes

    You know, I don't know if you want to help or just tried to be an * But either way.

  • How do I transfer data from old laptop to new one without using time machine?

    I just bought a new Macbook and want to transfer everything over and wipe my old Macbook so the kids can have it.  I have an external hard drive, that has photos etc. on it already.  When I try to do a Time Machine back up, it tells me the drive is not formatted correctly and that to complete the back up, it will have to erase everything.  I can't move the photos back on to the old Macbook because there isn't enough free disc space.  So, I don't think I can do this with Time Machine.  How would you recommend I transfer the data over?  Thanks!

    Use Migration Assistant during the setup of the new machine. Connect both machines up to a wired network if possible and follow the instructions. It's worth running software update on the old MacBook first as there was an update to Migration assistant for OS X 10.5 and 10.6 published recently.

    How do I get my address book back from my previous system? I lost EVERYTHING:(

    Look in your archived user folder. You can just move the yourUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder to the same location on your new system.

  • How do I restore data from my iphone 4 to my iphone 5 that was initially set up as new iphone?

    How do I restore data from my iphone 4 to my iphone 5 that was initially set up as new iphone?

    You can use iCloud or you can Restore From Back Up using iTunes. Your iPhone 4 data can now be placed in iCloud or you can Sync your iPhone 4 to iTunes. Once Sync is in iTunes, connect iPhone 5 to iTunes if it does not ask if you want to Restore from Back Up, right click PC or Control click Mac the iPhone 5 name in left column of iTunes. In the drop down menu select Restore From Back Up, in the menu in the center of iTunes select the back up you want on your iPhone 5.

    how can i restore data from icloud to iphone

    You mean an iCloud backup?  If so, first make sure your phone is running the same or higher version of iOS as the device that backed up was running.  If it isn't, you'll have to update it first in order to restore the backup.
    Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts.  Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I see you want to restore your MacBook Pro from an external drive.  Here is an article that may help you with this process if you used Time Machine to backup these files.

    You cannot downgrade the iOS, there is no supported method.
    Google streetview was not lost, Google Maps were removed from iOS6 and replaced with Apple Maps.

  • How do I transfer photos from previous phone (not an iphone) to my iphone4s?

    How do I transfer photos from previous phone (not an iphone) to my iphone4s?

    You need to import the photos with your computer, or transfer the photos from the phone to your computer followed by transferring the photos to your iPhone the same way you transfer any other photos on your computer to your iPhone - via the iTunes sync/transfer process. This is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

  • How to transfer icloud data from old computer to new computer

    how to transfer icloud data from old computer to new computer

    The iCloud data will be on the new computer as soon as you download the iCloud control panel and sign into iCloud with your iCloud ID. What you see in iCloud is stored in iCloud, so it really doesn't matter what computer you are on. Once that computer is signed onto iCloud and the iCloud options are selected, you have full access to all of that information, and much of it is pushed back to your computer.
    If you are referring to the data in an iCloud backup created by an iOS device, then that is not something that would be on a computer at all.
    Does that answer your question? If not, post back with more info about what you are looking to find out.

  • How can I restore data from my iPhone after sync with macbook pro?

    I accidentally syncronized my Iphone with MacBook Pro on iTunes and lost all data from my phone (calendar, contacts, photos, etc.). Is there a way to recover that information? Thank you!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You cannot. However, you can solve this problem by setting the iPhone as a new device and upgrading iOS in Settings -> Software Update.
    After upgrading iOS, open Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings. Finally, Setup Assistant will let you restore the backup.

  • How can I restore data from iCloud

    My iPad locked up last night and I had to restore to factory settings to make it operable.  During the process it asked me if I wanted to restore my data and it told me that the latest and only backup was from a few minutes before that time which was AFTER all my stuff got wiped out.  I was able to resync some apps and all my music from iTunes, but I lost a ton of pictures and other files that I thought were SUPPOSED to be safe on iCloud.
    So I start reading about restoring data from iCloud and apparently Apple only does this on a NEW device.  What a load of crap!
    Does anyone have any idea how I can get my data from the stupid iCloud to my stupid iPad?

    The "Apple data" such as contacts, calendars, notes, etc. are not backed up to an iCloud backup, since they reside in the special databases on iCloud.  If you delete some data from a device (e.g. one contact), it is deleted from that device, from iCloud's database and thus from all other devices connected to that iCloud account.
    Hence performing a restore from an iCloud backup will not help.
    However, if that data was ever on a computer (assuming the computer also synced data from iCloud) and if you consistently perform backups using something like Time Machine on a mac or any number of backup programs on Windows, then you should be able to restore the data from that backup.  For example, on a mac, invoke the contacts app then choose Enter Time Machine from the Time Machine icon on the main toolbar.  That will allow you to go back in time and choose an older backup to restore.
    If you have an iTunes backup on the computer, I'm not really sure that also includes the Apple data stored on iCloud.  It should have the local data.  For example, Contacts can be under "iCloud" or "On My Mac" (or whatever computer you use).  An iTunes restore should restore the data on your computer.
    The whole idea regarding an iCloud backup is that if your device ever fails and must be replaced or reset, the backup will restore all the data as it was at the time of the last backup.   The restore will return all the device's settings such as iCloud login, on/off states of data to connect to (like contacts).  Once that's done, the device will connect to iCloud and download the current data.
    IMPORTANT...
    Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream.  If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
    If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered.  I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".

  • I was stolen my iphone Can I erase my data from the phone?

    I was stolen my iphone
    Can I erase all my data from the phone from the cloud?
    - contact
    - notes
    passwords....?

    If you activated Find My iPhone (in Settings>icloud), and if the device's batteries still have a charge, the device is not turned off and has not been reset and is connected to wifi, then you can try to track it.  Using a computer, log into icloud.com and look at the Find My iPhone page.  On a device, invoke the Find My iPhone app (get it for free at the itunes app store) and log into the icloud account.
    If it is offline, then one of the requirements listed above is not met (like being connected to wifi, or if the device was stolen and the thief reset it).
