Can I restor data from an old iPhone to a new one using iCloud backup?
I’m going to buy a new iPhone, can I restore my data from the old iPhone to the new one using iCloud backup and is it safer to back it up on my PC?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
I don't use iCloud back up, but I understand you can do that.
It's always better to use a mac/PC based back up, I'd only consider the iCloud back up if I didn't have a mac.

Restore from the iCloud backup - assuming that you were backing up to iCloud in the first place. If you weren't using iCloud for backup - then you are out of luck.
If you were backing up to iCloud - you have to erase all contents on the iPad in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings - before you can restore from the iCloud backup.

How can I migrate data from an old MBA to a new one without having access to the screen of the old one? The screen of the old MBA is damaged !
If your "older" MBA has a Thunderbolt port then it isn't that old. See Target Disk Mode about how it's used. Note that without a monitor you won't be able to tell from the screen when it has fully started, and if it succeeded in starting in TDM. If it did, then the hard drive should appear on the Desktop of your new computer. You can then access it to transfer your files. You can even use Migration Assistant or any backup utility to transfer data. Just don't try to transfer system files.

How can i get music from my old iphone to the new one
how do i transfer my music nd pictures to my new iphone from the old one?
All music on your old iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer and can be transferred to your new iPhone in the same way - via the iTunes sync process.
All photos on your old iPhone that were transferred from your computer should remain on your computer. These photos can be transferred to your new iPhone in the same way - via the iTunes sync process.
Photos/videos in your old iPhone's Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. After being imported by your computer, they can be transferred to your new iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process.

Can I get the stuff from an old iPhone in my new one via iCloud?
My iPhone started doing something very strange yesterday, so I'm going back to the store today, and I backed up via iCloud, but is it possible to put everything on the new iPhone I will probably get?
How content is restored to a new device
When you go through Setup Assistant on a new iOS 5 device, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.
After your device restarts, your settings and accounts are restored and Backup starts downloading your purchased music, TV shows, apps, books, Camera Roll, and other content.* You may be prompted to enter the passwords for all accounts enabled on your device.
A progress bar will appear underneath the apps that are being downloaded. To prioritize the restore of a specific app, tap its icon. Restore will attempt to download the same version of the app that you had installed previously. If that version is no longer available, the latest version of the app will be restored.
If you are using iTunes Match (U.S. only), you can download any of your songs, albums, or playlist from iCloud after the restore is complete.
To check if the restore is complete, go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.

How can I get data from an older iPhone onto a new one?
I had an older 3G which couldn't synch anymore with the new OS6, so the recent data on the phone did not get onto the new one I just received. What is the best way to get this data (mainly calendar and contact updates) on to my new phone?

All iTunes levels are backwards compatible to 3G
BUT
the 3G will not update past iOS 4.2.1

Backing up the old iPhone with iTunes and restoring to the new one is a good solution. However, if you have difficulties in doing so, you can transfer the data from the old iPhone to the new one directly with the help of iPhone PC Suite or MobileTrans.

I've just upgraded to iPhone 4S and restored data from my old iPhone through iTunes. I'm being asked for a password to get into my phone and the old password I had doesn't work. I don't know what password it's looking for
Thanks for replying, I'm a real techno-cretin. What do you mean by not using the backup? I'm busy trying to restore my new phone and it's doing a 6 hour download with updates. Can I restore the data from my old phone backup onto the new iPhone 4S when the download is done?

i was transferring my information from my old iphone to the new one, and i forgot that i had some pictures in the new one. i did the restoring information and the pictures in new one are gone. how can i get them back???? please
Only way to get it back is to restore your phone from a backup, if those pics were included in that backup.
But most likely those pics are gone.
What you should've done was import http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 the pics to your computer and after you restored from your old backup, you could sync those new pics to your phone via itunes. -

Make a backup of the current phone, and restore the new phone from the backup. When you do that, your new phone should be a mirror image of your old phone.
