Uploading backup from iPod onto iPhone

Does uploading the backup for my previous iPod touch onto my new iPhone 4s cause the phone to lose/forget its capabilities.  I lost my entire contact list from the phone and am worried that there's more missing I don't know about...

No, it does not.... but relying on a single device for storage of contacts is not very smart.
Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service like iCloud, Google/Gmail, or Exchange.

  • Uploading songs from ipod onto a computer

    I am getting a new computer and i was woundering if i could upload all my songs on my ipod to the new computer instead of ripping all my cds on the new computer.

    There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes

  • Uploading songs from IPOD onto new OS

    My computer crashed and needed to be reformatted, so I lost everything. When I reformatted, I downloaded the newest version of ITunes. When I hooked up my Ipod though, it tell me that I have to erase all of my songs. Is there any way around this? Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi, JamesM33.
    There's an answer to your question but first it's time for a little lecture - if it makes a difference, I don't feel any better about this than you do. ; - )
    I hope you take this unfortunate state of affairs as an opportunity to learn a very important lesson: Back up your iTunes library as soon as you can after resolving this situation because right now you are only one glitch of your iPod away from losing your music entirely.
    Many people come to the Discussions having lost their music in just such situations and, believe me, it's not a happy time for anyone.
    If you place any importance on your playlists and the data they depend on, make sure to include the iTunes Library files in your back-up regimen as well.
    Anyways, that's the lecture. The answer to your problem should be found in Zevoneer's post .
    Good Luck! But once you have the music back on your computer, remember:
    Your music is valuable - please back it up!

  • I have 300 apps organized in folders on my ipod touch 4th gen, and connected my iphone 4, these apps have copied over but none have been placed in folders, any ideas how to replicate folders from ipod to iphone...?

    What may work is to restore the iPhone fom the backup of the iPod.  However, if the two devices ahve different apps that come with the device, that may mess up some of the folders.

  • HT201317 Why is it when I get a new idevice and try to upload photos from iCloud onto my device there are always a large portion of photos missing?

    Why is it when I get a new idevice and try to upload photos from iCloud onto my device there are always a large portion of photos missing?

    Adding to fromsouth...  if you are restoring from a backup, then only photos in the camera roll are made available, not others.
    If you are using photo stream, then only photos that have been on the stream server in the past 30 days (and a max of 1000 of them) are downloaded.  All others have been deleted, since photo stream is not a storage service, but a syncing service that allows you to sync photos over a 30 day window.

  • HT1296 can i sync content from "safe note" app from iPod to iPhone?

    can i sync content from "safe note" app from iPod to iPhone?

    No.
    If you aren't syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, and/or not syncing contacts over the air with an email account on your iPhone that supports this with a number of accounts that do which are free including a free Apple iCloud account, and your iPhone's backup is not being done wirelessly with a free Apple iCloud account and you don't have a backup for your iPhone on a computer, your contacts will be lost.

  • I have a backup from an old iPhone that won't delete it says it's in use?

    I Bought an iPhone 6 + set it all up and restored it from icloud but it just kept on running restore after it was finished so I backed it up to itunes on my Mac then did a local restore so I have everything, then I backed up the 6 to icloud but now I can't delte the backup from the old iPhone because it says it's in use and I wou like to recover this available space.

    An interrupted iCloud restore will wait for approximately three days for the restore to resume, then it will time out.  If you wait 3-4 days you should be able to delete the backup.

  • I don't have very much space left on my iCloud backup. I had a previous iPhone, my current iPhone and my iPad that are all connected to one cloud. Can I delete the backup from my previous iPhone? Will it delete in the cloud AND on the phone?

    I had a previous iPhone, my current iPhone and my iPad that are all connected to one cloud. Can I delete the backup from my previous iPhone? Will it delete in the cloud AND on the phone? or does it just delete from iCloud? or does it just delete from the phone? Someone please help!

    You can delete the backup without any problem. Only the backup will be deleted from iCloud and nothing else will be deleted, so you can do it without worrying about losing data on iCloud or your devices

  • How can I access a calendar backup from my old iPhone?

    How can I access a calendar backup from my old iPhone?
    I recently had to get a replacement iPhone 4. The tech at the Apple Store thought that I might have had a software problem and recommended that I not "restore from backup," but start this phone as a new device and just sync the apps and what-not. My calendar on my computer was different than the one on my old phone, though, and now I need the data from my old iPhone calendar. I did back up my old phone just prior to taking it to the Apple Store.
    HELP!

    Well what you can do is update to ios5 then use icloud to sync your calandar up to your phone then restore your phone as new and when prompted in the new phone setup put in your icloud username and password and you will have your calandar events back.

  • Upload contact from Nokia to Iphone 3GS

    How can I upload contact from Nokia to Iphone 3GS?

    Or if your Nokia supports syncing contacts via bluetooth with an address book application on your computer that is supported for syncing contacts with the iPhone - iSync on a Mac provides for this - syncing contacts with the Address Book on a Mac with a number of cell phones this is supported with. Follow this by syncing your iPhone with the address book on your computer via the iTunes sync process.
    With Windows, this can be with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book application used by Outlook Express or by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.
