Restoring data from old iphone

Hi! I had a 3g 16 gb iphone that was destroyed. My insurance payed for a new one, but when I connected it, itunes asked me if I wanted to merge the data stored from my old phone into it or if I wanted to treat it as a new one. I chose the merging option, but then it said that, because it had version 2.0 in it, I had to first update and that then I would have the option to put the information from my old iphone into it. I did update, and now I can´t see how I can make the old data merge into my new phone.
Thanks in advance for your help

Try restoring your new iPhone with iTunes from your previous iPhone's backup.
Restoring your iPhone with iTunes will completely erase your iPhone first followed by the firmware being re-installed. After the firmware is re-installed, you will be prompted to restore your iPhone from an available backup, which is the default selection. If there is more than one iPhone backup available, you can select from the available backups. This must be followed by a sync to transfer your selected iTunes content including 3rd party apps, and any photos selected to be transferred from your computer to your iPhone.

    how do i transfer my data from old iphone to new iphone

    You need to sync the data from your old iPhone, to the computer via iTunes.  Once the data is on the computer, you then need to sync it to the new iPhone, also via iTunes.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/how-to/#video-sync - this is a link with a short video that teaches you how to sync your iPod / iPhone using iTunes
    If you sycn with iCloud, you can also sync some of the data via iCloud.  This may not work for all you music, if it was not purchased via iTunes.

    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.

  • Transfer settings and data from old iphone to new iphone

    Hi. I recently replaced my iphone 3G with an iphone 4. I backed up my old phone and then connected the new iphone4. When registering the phone for the first time, iTunes crashed while backing the phone up. I rebooted, connected my iphone4 again and finished registration but there was no option to copy my old data across.
    How do I do this?
    I'm not sure whether clicking 'restore' will work or whether that will just wipe the phone again (it's straight out the box, so no real loss if it does, although I'm concerned because I really don't want to lose all the data from my old phone.)
    I'm on a PC, with the latest iTunes installed.
    Any help appreciated. Thanks

    Hi! were you able to do it, finally? im having the same situation right now... dunno if it's possible or not to transfer the old to the new iPhone, they're different iOSes.

  • Iphone 4s trying to restore contacts from old iphone via itunes backup

    I recently upgraded my old iphone 3gs to a 4s. I know way behind the times. I backed up the 3gs to both the icloud and to my mac via itunes before I went to the store. Next day all my contacts are gone, try to sync to the icloud only to find out the they must of overwrote my icloud contacts via a backup from the 4s some how. Again think no problem I will just restore via itunes, when I restore though it starts up like it is brand new asking how I would like to set it up. I choose via itunes and it asks me to connect to itunes. I am already connected and the screen doesn't change on the 4s no matter how long I wait. I desperately need these contacts and am looking for some help either using itunes are getting more creative by manually pulling them out of the backup some how. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    One thing to try, is to create a new login account on you computer.
    Log into that account and open address book.
    Create one contact in address book.
    Now open itunes.
    Once through the initial setup, connect the iphone.
    Now go to the info tab and check to sync contacts.
    You should get the option to merge data.
    If this works, there is still something corrupt in your address book.
    Try exporting all you contacts then delete all out of address book.
    Quit address book and reopen.
    Create a new test contact, then try syncing with iphone.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • Restoring Data from old phone to S III and getting Yahoo E-Mail to work on the Galaxy S III

    I wanted to share some information on how to do a few things on the Galaxy SIII. After spending approximately 6 hours on the phone and On-Line Chat with Verizon Wireless Tech Support they told me the following things could not be done. Well FOR THE RECORD they CAN BE DONE!!!!!
    Here is how to Back-up and Restore your Text, Picture and Video messages from your old phone to your new phone:
    BEFORE you DEACTIVATE the OLD PHONE:
    Make sure you have an External SD card in your old phone that will work in your new phone
    Go to the Play Store and install Verizon Messages
    Open the Verizon Messages program and click on Back-UP – ALL Text, Picture and Video messages will be backed-up. IF YOU GET A “SAVE CANCELLED” MESSAGE:
                         You may have to Back-up LARGE messages (with picture & Video content) individually.
                        You may also have to backup conversation threads 1 at a time if there are a large number of texts in that thread:
         *****Hopefully Verizon will fix AND INCREASE the LOW AMOUNT OF DATA ALLOWED AT 1 TIME ON THIS APP SOON*****
    Once you have everything Backed Up on the External SD Card Remove the SD Card from the old phone and install it in the new phone
    NOW ACTIVATE YOUR NEW GALAXY S III:
    When you are in the Set-Up Wizard:
               If you are using Yahoo E-Mail and want it to be accessible by clicking on the E-Mail Icon
                   DO NOT click on the Yahoo Mail Icon during the E-Mail Account Set-up portion of the Set-Up Wizard!!!
             Instead click on the Other E-Mail Icon and enter your Yahoo E-Mail accounts there – this will assure that the Yahoo E-Mail accounts will
                   sync and update as they should AND be accessible by just clicking on the E-Mail Icon on your screen.
    To Restore your data from the Old Phone to the New Phone After the Set-Up Wizard is completed:
    Make sure you have the External SD card from your old phone installed in your new phone
    Go to the Play Store and install Verizon Messages
    Open the Verizon Messages program and click on Restore – IF YOU SEE 2 SD CARDS LISTED (ON MINE IT LISTED ExtSDCard and SDCARD0) you will have to copy EVERYTHING from the ExtSDCard to the SDCard0. Next Click on Restore again and ALL Text,
    Picture and Video messages will be restored to your New Phone.
    I HOPE THIS SAVES YOU ALOT OF AGGRAVATION AND FRUSTRATION WITH YOUR NEW GALAZY S III

    What type of mail account is it?
    POP, IMAP, etc?
    When you got your new phone did you put on a backup of your old phone?
    If POP, well POP works by keeping track of what it has downloaded or not. So if it got info from your last phone when you synced your new one, then it knows it already downloaded them, thus won't download them again (just how POP works).

  • Transferring data from old iphone to new one

    Here's the problem. I ordered the iphone4, but with the backorder delay taking longer than expected, I will find myself on vacation with my old 3gs and G4 Macbook Pro. My 3gs is synced to my intel imac (which I'm keeping at home).
    When my new iphone4 arrives it will be sent to me while I'm on vacation. I'd like to activate the new phone right away, but how will I be able to transfer the data and apps and music from the old phone to the new. I'm concerned that:
    1. If I sync the 3gs to the laptop (G4 Macbook Pro) I may lose all my contacts and apps.
    2. Will I be able to sync the iphone4 to my G4 Macbook Pro?
    Any advice, red flags or words of wisdom?

    Which OS are you using on the MacBook Pro?
    Do you have enough space to copy your entire iTunes folder to your MacBook Pro?

  • Transfer of Data from old Iphone 3 to New 4?

    Just bought the new iphone 4 and was told all I had to do was take it home and sync it up and all of my data that was housed on the iphone 3 would sync up to my iphone 3.  That didn't really happen.
    None of my contacts nor my photos have transfered.  Now what am I suppose to do?

    Thanks for such a fast response.  I think I screwed it up.  I thought it would be that simple, however when I plugged in my Iphone 4 to sync, it went thru the motions however it didn't import the correct stuff?  So now I fear that I've deleted the prior back up of my 3 and overwritten it with the stuff on my phone right now.  Is there anyway to find my back up on my computer?  I'm at a loss on how to proceed.  I see all my data on my 3 just won't let me connect back to my computer says no service....
