Transfering tests from iPhone 4 to iPhone 5

I had a old iPhone 4 and activated a new iPhone 5 from an iCloud backup. Was disappointed that the texts/iMessages did not come over to the new phone. Is there a way to do that once the new phone had been activated and at least partially populated from the iCloud backup?  The original phone is also backed up to a local laptop harddrive.

Try restoring the backup you made in iTunes by connected it to iTunes, then right-clicking on the name of your phone on the left side and selecting Restore from Backup.  Your messages should be contained in the backup.

  • Transfering videos from Iphone 4 to laptop, the video is rotateed 90 degrees

    After transferring videos from Iphone to laptop, Why would the video be rotated 90 degrees?

    IIRC, the iPhone is configured that "normal orientation" for video recording is horizontal with the home button on the right.  If you are holding it in a different orientation, then that would be encoded in the EXIF data on the recirded video file.  Now if that file is edited and that EXIF data is removed or altered, then you could see what you are seeing.  It is also possible that the player yo uare playing the videos back in does not properly support the EXIF data embedded in the videos, which would have the same results.  When I record video on my iPhone 5, the playback on my Mac works properly.

  • I transferred video from iPhone (4S) to iPhoto and then to iMovie9.  Footage in iMovie is stretched.  Is there a way to fix that?

    I transferred video from iPhone (4S) to iPhoto and then dropped that footage into iMovie9.  The footage is there in iMovie but it is stretched.  I have tried to adjust using aspect ratio options but that doesn't work.  Is there a way to fix that in iMovie (or at any other point in the process)?

    It shouldn't be this way.  Did you shoot the video in portrait or landscape mode?  Many people shoot in portrait mode because they typically hold the phone upright.  This is really shouldn't happen if the videos are shot in landscape mode.

    I don't believe OS X has the ability to receive AirPlay (which is what you're using).  There's some advice on the matter on the Wikipedia page, though:

    Scroll down to "Third-party software implementations".

  • Transferring music from iphone to pc

    Purchased/Downloaded music from itunes to iphone - how can I sync / upload music to PC to back up?

    PaulCB
    Saw your post about transferring music from iPhone. I guess I am a total dweeb; I cannot understand Apple's instructions.
    I have two identical PCs. Have same version of iTunes on each. iPhone 3GS with 4.01 OS. I cannot figure out how to transfer the 5400 songs on my iPhone into my iTunes library without erasing the 2500 songs (different titles which came from a Dead Dell) that are already there. Any advice would be super appreciated.

    You should ask in the Apple Forum. This has nothing to do with Adobe Reader, which only reads PDF files.

  • Transfering contacts from iPhone 2g to iPhone 4 went wrong!

    Hello all,
    I have the following issue - I have iPhone 2g and want to transfer all contacts and msgs to the new iPhone 4.
    I followed this manual http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109
    First I made back up on the PC with info from iPhone 2, then connected the new phone and put the back up in it.
    However, all contacts have transfered but settings from my previous phone! Like keyboard languages, time zones and etc. The problem is that the phone looks weird now!
    There are menu's transfered from the back up to the new iphone, some of the ringtones stay there but they are unactive (when you go to sets>sounds>ringtones you see them, you can press them, but no sound comes) and most important - icons don't lool like the original iPhone 4!
    So my questions - how to return to clean installation of OS 4.3 (or different) and is this the only way to get back the phone to the state I've bought it? I just want a clean new installation, no matter if i'll lose the information!
    The iPhone 4 is OS 4.3, sim free.

    if you sync with itunes or gmail or mobileme you can just remove the wrong synced contacts and  get the right ones from those services
    if you don't you really should

  • Transfering contacts from Iphone 2 to Iphone 5s

    I have recently upgraded my phone from IPhone 2 (IOS 4.2.1) to IPhone 5s. I followed all the procedures to restroe contacts and notes with Itunes:
    - create a back up with the old Iphone
    - disconnect phone and connect new one
    - restore back up
    but the restore does not work. Can anyone help? thank you

    With every sync your contacts on your pc and iphone should be updated. So you cab use your windows contact app to sync it to the ipod touch. Disable automatic sync in itunes, activate the option to delete all contact info on the ipod once in the info pane with your ipod connected and sync. All your contacts will be transfered to your ipod.

  • Transfering music from iphone 4 to an iphone 5 help

    I recently upgraded my iphone 4 to an iphone 5. I tried to transfer my music to the new phone from itunes and my music will not transfer. What can i do to fix this issue.

    Hi Lav122,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The first thing I would suggest is to transfer your purchases from the iPhone 4 to your computer.
    Your post doesn't indicate what type of computer you have, but here is the basic information:
    iTunes 10 for Windows: Transfer purchases from your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to an authorized computer
    Next, I would suggest backing up your iPhone 4 to iCloud or iTunes and restore your new iPhone with that backup.
    The article below will show you how.
    Click on the link below to see more details and screenshots. 
    iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • Transferring music from iphone to new iphone

    So, say I'm West Coast guy and in the East Coast visiting family. Had a iPhone 5s and just got a new iPhone 6. Figured I could backup my iPhone 5s on brother's iMac and then restore it to the new iPhone 6. Most of it went OK, except I've got some of his apps and a few other things - but I did not get any of my music over to the new iPhone 6. Most all my music was imported into my iTunes from CDs and then onto my iPhone 5s.
    Question: any way to get my music back onto the new iPhone 6, or will I have to resynch when I get home?
    Is there a better/cleaner way to transfer settings/content from one iPhone to another new one, other than backup and restore from iTunes?
    Thanks!

  • Transferring games from iphone to iPod

    i got a iphone and i am selling it and getting an iPod and i got this one game i am addicted to and i dont want to start the game again from the beginning is there any way i can transfer my game data into my ipod without starting again?

    Synch the iPhone with your computer and make sure the app gets into the iTunes library.  Then synch the iPod with that iTunes library.
    Apps can't be transferred directly from iOS device to iOS device.

  • Issues transferring pictures from iPhone 6 to PSE 8

    Hi!
    I Have PSE 8 for many years and never had an issue transferring pictures from my cellphone to PSE 8 until I upgraded a month ago to PSE 13. I didn't like this new version so I contacted customer service to cancell the recent upgrade. Then, I went bank to my PSE 8 and I can't transfer pictures from my iPhone to PSE 8. The USB works and I use windows.
    Thanks!

    I usually see this error reported when the iPhone connected has not been unlocked prior to being connected. Disconnect the phone from the computer. Unlock the phone with the passcode and make sure it is "awake" when you connect it to the computer. This seems to be a quirk under Windows 8.
