Query: Selective Transferring of old data (3rd party app) from old iPhone

Hello all.
I am collecting my new iPhone 3GS tomorrow
(and) I want only to add some, and not all the 3rd party apps (from App Store) that was with my old iPhone, in particular, Notes+
I know if before I perform a software restore or upgrade, iTunes will perform a back up of the phone, and if I insert a new iPhone, and choose the same name, e.g. "howwow iPhone", it will restore all the apps and data into the new phone.
But if I treat this new 3GS phone as a new phone, e.g. I name it "My 3GS iPhone" and add the Notes+ app, will all the data inside be copied into the new phone?
My main 2 aims are to only add some apps I need (like Notes+) to the new phone and still able to keep the data/notes in it, without re-adding manually.
Thanks and cheers

There is no way to selectively restore certain data from the backup to the new iPhone - it's all or none. If you set it up as a new phone, none of the old data will be transferred. Alternatively, you could set it up from the backup, then delete all of the unwanted stuff.

  • 3rd party apps from someone other then Apple

    Does anyone now if you can get 3rd party apps without jail braking and without using Apples application store. I found a website that offers apps that I really want and was very disappointed to see none of the in the Apps store and dont know why nobody made them or offered them there. For $24.99 I can get all these apps that I was really looking forward to seeing in the apps store but werent:
    NES System : Nintendo with all the games
    Customization : Were I can custom every aspect of the I-Phone from I-cons to backgrounds
    Screen shot : A app where I can take a picture of anything that my I-Phone is viewing at that time like from a game or a website ETC.
    Video Recorder : I cant believe there was no video recorder in the apples web app release it is just something every phone should have
    MMS : Picture messaging, I mean I dont know how many times I recieve a picture message and have to wait till I get home to go on my computer to go to a website just to see them. How long it takes also with normal broadband just to see a simple picture.........This is a must have app
    Ringtone: Now all you have to do is select a song from your music library and put it to you contacts that easy no cutting or editing it down to size, no extra programs to make them with and no money to spend to make them
    Also much more that I dont feel like describing like:
    Instant Messenger
    YouTube Downloader
    Books
    VNC

    Wow don't try to send a MMS to someones cell phone from the e-mail option this was a nightmare. I tried it to see if it would work and I received a message that the attempt didn't succeed so it kept trying and trying automatically. Then I get a phone call from the person I sent it to telling me it work but for me to quit sending it. I said I only sent it once then he said I have like 15 already so I check out my phone and it is really warm I looked at it and the battery went from fully full to a little less then half empty. So I am like what the heck so I go into my e-mail account and I see there is an e-mail demon meaning there was an attempt to send a e-mail but it didn't succeed. Normally when this happens it will make another try just to make sure it wasn't a service error well apparently my cell phone is continuing to retry to send the message so I have the phone trying my e-mail account trying while the person who the message is being sent to is receiving everyone........So I had to delete every message being sent on my e-mail account, I had to delete my E-mail account on my phone, and I had to shut it off for 30 minutes to see if this works it not I don't know what to do and my nightmare continues as well for the person who's phone keeps blowing up with the MMS message and I am wasting all of his text on his plan.......
    Thanks for the bad advice

  • How to uninstall 3rd party app from MacBook Pro?

    Does anyone know how to uninstall a 3rd party application (RMSViewer) from MacBook Pro?  The app doesn't work and I want to remove it from memory.  I can't find an "uninstall" utility on my computer and the 3rd party software doesn't include an uninstall link.

    Tap and old the app until it starts to wiggle. Tap the "x" that appears on the corner of the icon.
    If that doesn't work, check Settings>General>Restrictions to see if removing apps is restricted.
    You may also want to take a read through the manual:

  • Every single 3rd party App crashes

    Hello,
    I'm running a 8gb EDGE 2.0.1 iphone. Every single 3rd party app crashes all of a sudden. I tried restore. all native apple apps load, but even when I just synce 1 3rd party app to the iphone (so all native iphone apps and 1 3rd party) that always crashes to iphone home screen.
    I need to fix this because I need to use 3rd party apps like zenbe (which was working perfectly for me a week ago)

    ok i had this same problem i called apple the guy i got new exactly what was happening and game me a work around. follow these steps exactly. this is a mac work around only dont know about windows.
    1 make sure your phone is not connected to your computer.
    2 delete every app directly from iphone by holding a app and then clicking the x
    3 go to settings general reset and choose reset all settings
    4 now on your computer open itunes on the menu bar go to store and deauthorize your computer
    5 quit itunes
    6 reopen itunes and reauthorize the computer then exit itunes
    7 open isync go to preferences and select reset sync history and exit isync
    8 open itunes and connect your iphone. it may freeze itunes for 2-10 minutes but dont exit just
    wait it will eventually recognize your iphone.
    9 after itunes recognizes your iphone go to the music tab and select a small playlist to sync then got to the app tab and choose sync selected apps and if anything is selected deselect them.
    10 if you have remote app select it if not download it for free and select it
    11 then select two other apps and click apply
    12 it will start to sync. it will say removing apps let it do this. depending on how many apps you have it could take a long time (mine took more than an hour)
    13 if you get error 0xE800002E after you are done just repeat steps 1-8 it wont take long this time
    14 if you dont get the error check to see if your remote works if it does check the other apps if they dont work repeat steps 1-8 if they do you are done just restart the iphone to make sure the still work
    15 if you got the 0xE800002E error and have repeated 1-8 sync remote and two other apps and it should work if it does not try again it worked for me the first time though.
    it is a long process but be patient and all will work out.
    that is it until apple fixes this stupid issue which should never have gotten passed testing.
    hope this helps
    if u need help or inform me of how it went u can email me at [email protected]

  • Updated Carrier Settings - All 3rd party apps now crash on startup.

    Updated the new Carrier Settings today. Now all 3rd party apps on the iPhone crash on startup. Am I the only one experiencing this?
    Rebooted several times
    Running 3.1 (7C144)
    Thanks!

    Just wanted to post in the event someone else had the same issue. I did a restore and reset. All third party apps went away (poof).
    I had to manually re-install my apps from the app-store. Thank goodness iTunes tracks your previous purchases.

  • How to transfer contents of third party apps from iPhone 4 to iphone  5?

    How to transfer contents of third party apps from old iPad to new iPad?

    Backup from old iPad, new iPad restore from that backup.

  • How do you transfer my itunes ,music, apps,from old PC to a new PC

    How do you transfer my old itunes account music,apps from old PC to a new Pc?

    These are two possible approaches that should work to move the existing library to the new laptop.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase are reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your library or a backup of it then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • How can I restore 3rd party app data from my backup in the cloud

    First a brief history. I use the iCloud to backup my iPad 2 and hardly ever synch it to itunes on my computer. I got the new iPad and restored the backup of my iPad 2 onto it.  All was fine except that an issue I had on my iPad 2's Safari had transferred over to my new iPad. That's is for another discussion. Anyhow I went to the genius bar and they said to just setup my new iPad as a new device and then manually install everything back on it. Stuff like mail, contacts, etc, would be reloaded from the cloud. So I did and I noticed that one of my 3rd party apps, MadPad, had none of my saved data. Does anyone know of a way to restore 3rd party app data from the iCloud? Is there some sort of utility out there that would do this?  I don't want to restore it from my previous iPad 2 backup because it will reintroduce the Safari problem back onto my new iPad.
    Thanks!

    Assuming that you even have a backup with the data in it, you have no choice but to use a backup in order to restore that data. That is the idea behind backing up to iCloud. If that is the only backup that you have - then that is the one that you have to use.
    But if the backup is bad - or had corrupt data - then you will end up with the corrupt data again. You cannot selectively restore app data from a backup. you restore all settings and data - or nothing at all.

  • I recently purchased a 4S. I now have 2 files in my iCloud both with my name. One from my 3gs and one from my 4S. The problem is the data history of all my games and 3rd party apps did not transfer over to my 4S. Is there a way to merge the two in icloud?

    I backed up my 3gs to the iCloud and when I synced my 4S, it did not transfer my game histories or my 3rd party app histories. When I look at my iCloud storage, it shows both phones under the same name. Is there a way to merge them together in iCloud? I tried adding the account to my 4S but since they are both named the same, it says I already have that account added! Help!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming you have finished with your old backup.....
    You can see what your iCloud storage is used for and delete any unwanted content at settings > iCloud > backup & storage > manage......

  • Netweaver Mobile 7.1 Data Orchestration Engine and 3rd party apps...

    Folks,
    I have a third party mobile app that just won't go away (pun intended).
    I will have a XMAM AND a 3rd Party App on 1 mobile device x's 1000's of devices.
    Can I use Netweaver 7.1 DOE to synchronize my devices 3rd party app? I will have to develop new Business Objects of course.
    CP

    Hi Christopher,
    you can use Netweaver Mobile 7.1 to download and deploy so-called mobile components. These mobile components will be always installed into the NW client container. In principle it is possible to create "client installers" which allows you writing a xml script containing installation commands. But as far as I know these commands are restricted to things like copying, deleting, file modification etc. Instaling a CAB-file for example will not be possible. And I guess this is what you are looking for, right?
    In case, you want to deploy 3rd party apps written for Netweaver Mobile 7.1, deployment is definitely possible. You will create your app as mobile components containing business logic, data objects and UI in the designtime. These components you can remotely deploy through the DOE.
    I hope this answer is helpfull for you. In case you have more questions, let me know.
    Regards,
    Stefan

  • How to backup 3rd party apps data?

    Hi All,
    I have problem with backup 3rd party apps data, i was using iphone 3G start from version 2.2.0
    I was purchased and free download some apps from itunes i.e: safe note, picture safe 2, IM+, skype and some apps can be allow keeping data or record.
    But after i update to OS3.0, i found most of 3rd party apps data and setting was missing.
    This really waste my time to manually write it down and key it back or setting back.
    please Apple and apps provide company think about this problem. can just make it simple, when we doing backup, all apps data and record also can safe it. Then we not need keep doing double work.

    If the the data is stored in the backup, it should restore to the iPad when you restore the backup. If that's not happening, sometimes it's becuase the data is stored on the app's server.
    SInce you are not having any luck restoring the backup, I would do a Google search such as this one using thses parameters - without the quotes.
    "restore candy crush backup progress"
    Personally, I do not trust any game that has in app purchases like these games have. It is my paranoid belief that the game developers do not want you to be able to restore your progress.

  • What should be the setup if you want RFC rely on a 3rd party apps' data?

    Is it possbile to maintain the master record like purchasing group, material group, purchasing org,etc.. by taking it from a 3rd party software? The client wants it that way so less work for the functional to do the configuration.
    Is there a bapi that could get it from the 3rd party app other than accessing sAP tables directly?
    Or should I create a function module that woould create purch_org/grp, matrl_code, gl_acct, wbs, etc?
    The setup is: we have a .net web apps as frontend and rfc as backend. SAP has no data yet.. And their plan is to get the data from the 3rd party.

    Hi,
    I wont suggest to completely rely for all the database table on 3rd party system. For each & every validation, you need to call an RFC & check the 3rd party database tables & again send the results back to R/3.
    Also for each database update, RFC's would be called. This would be time consuming & wont give a realtime interface if the network is not upto the requirement.
    Best regards,

  • All 3rd party apps Crash - Already Restored FIVE Times to date - Apple fix?

    Since the 2.0 update my apps have had constant crashing issues. Usually after opening 8 or so apps in a row (very easy to do when downloading and testing many apps) ... Powering down and powering back up usually helped/fixed the issue, if temporarily.
    Now, since 2.0.1 I've had times when one app will crash to the home screen, and from that point on ALL 3rd party apps immediately crash. Powering down the iPod, and powering back up does not fix the problem. Resetting the ipod (Sleep and Home buttons held) does not help either. I've also tried just Syncing the ipod, but this, alas, does nothing to help.
    When it's come to this in the past I've had to do a complete iPod restore, which if it weren't just for the time taken restoring, the time taken re-arranging the icons/screens puts the process into the realm of a major pain. But having a way to assign apps to a particular screen on the ipod/iphone within iTunes is a topic for another thread.
    Is there a way around this (crashing issue) that I'm just not seeing?
    I'm tired of being and eff-ing guinea pig; this is not why I'm an apple user, this is one of the reasons I make fun of Windows people and get them to switch TO apple.

    Well, now it's official, thanks to 3rd party apps and/or faulty system software my iPod is Dead.
    When I created this thread I was having all 3rd party apps crash constantly, and instantly upon launch. The myriad of methods used to recover it to working order failed. I decided to do a Restore and use the last successful backup. It got to about the 95% mark on the restore and hung for 2 hours. The exact same place for 2 hours.
    Not having the ability or patience to wait for my iPod to get done tying up my computer, I reset it. Now, all I've got is a $299.99 Paperweight that constantly displays a nice and shiny apple logo on it's screen.
    An attempt to restore it to factory settings only gave me an error dialogue box:
    The iPod "Kuhnaydeein's iPod" could not be restored.
    An unknown error occurred (0xE8000035).
    Now what am I supposed to do? I don't live near an Apple Store, the only place that sells apple merch is the store where I work, in the department I work. I know our policy on taking back/exchanging iPods.
    What I've failed to mention is how I'm EVER going to sell one of these to someone if there's a chance they'll just be getting the same FAULTY Hardware/Software I'm now stuck with? Is Apple going to come to the rescue, read this post and replace my iPod? I sincerely hope they read this, because they don't give the slightest hint at any Direct Email addresses on the Apple.com website. (What's with that anyway?)
    So what do I do now? RESTORING IS NOT AN OPTION.

  • Migrating 3rd Party Apps

    Hello,
    I am in the process of buying a new iMac G5 20", and I have purchased several dowloadable 3rd party apps on my current iMac. Can anyone tell me how I can get these apps off my computer and onto my new one?
    Thanks!
    ~NS

    Hi, Nathan.
    New Macs have an improved Setup Assistant that will walk you through the process of moving the Users, Applications, and other files from your old Mac to your new Mac, presuming your old Mac has a FireWire port.
    See "Mac OS X 10.3: Transferring data with Setup Assistant frequently asked questions (FAQ)." See also this page describing the new Setup Assistant.
    A little, undocumented secret about the Setup/Migration Assistant is that it will also work using a bootable duplicate of your old Mac if that duplicate is on a FireWire drive.
    You can move everything from the old Mac to the new, or selected bits. However, moving just applications can be problematic if the applications have bits installed outside of the /Applications folder: not all third-party apps are distributed in bundles, but rather install bits all over the system.
    Good luck!
