Can't transfer from iphone3 to iphone4

I'm having problems transferring the content of my old ihpone3 to my new iphone4. When I first connected my iphone4, I got the option to synch from my reserve copy of the iphone3; however, it wouldn't let me do so until I updated the operating system of my iphone4. After the update (which was successful), there was never an option offered to synch from my old reserve copy.
Can someone help me figure out how to get the data from my old phone to my new one?
Thanks!

You are not being given the option of restoring from your previous backup because you now have a backup of your new phone. If you want to restore from your previous iPhone backup, you will have to start over.
First, delete the backup of your new phone in iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Then, on your new phone: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. That should take but a minute or two. When finished, your phone will look just like it did when first taken out of the box. Connect it to iTunes, right-click in the device pane & select "Restore from Backup". Select your previous phone's backup. When complete, follow this by syncing your iTunes content to your phone.

  • Can't transfer from iTunes to iPhone4 & How Can I get my apps back?

    So, on my old computer, I had all my music on an external drive, and I finally decided to put iTunes on my laptop and just bring the music over especially since the computer just died.  I decided to also plug in my iPhone so that it can sync up and I could go through all the steps with that now and not worry about it later - plus I wanted to put on all my Halloween apps that I'd been collecting for the past 3 years...
    Well, the music got transferred just fine.  I sync up the phone and it tells me that there is an update.  I transfer my purchases first before doing the update.  While it's doing that, I'm noticing something weird - it's transferring apps that I've had for awhile now.  So, I look at my apps, and the only ones there are the ones that were just on my phone, all the others I had were gone!
    I update my phone to ios5.  It takes EVERYTHING off the phone.  And when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING!  The photos I had on there stayed, as did whatever notes I made, and my contacts were all safe along with my prior messages.  All the music and videos and apps were taken off.  No problem, right?  Wrong.  I can't seem to transfer anything from iTunes to my iPhone.
    So, here's my dilemma:
    (1) How do I get all the zillions of apps back when I no longer have the computer that they were originally on?
    (2) How do I transfer music/videos/apps from iTunes to my iPhone?
    Everything is updated, the computer is authorized, there is obviously space on the iphone....  I'm at a loss.   Help!  ;__;

    Apps and other media can be downloaded again for free, see this article: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Did you make sure that no restrictions are set on your phone to install apps? Check Settings/General/Restrictions --> App Installation.

  • My itunes library has gone following a laptop rebuild.  I do have my iPod which is up to date - can I transfer from the iPod to the library or will the iPod lose all its data if I snyc?

    My itunes library has gone and is empty following a laptop rebuild.  I do have my iPod which is up to date with music, photos, apps etc - can I transfer from the iPod Touch to the library or will the iPod lose all its data if I sync to the laptop?  PLEASE HELP!

    I'm guessing you've got iPod touch 2nd generation
    iPod touch 2nd generation only goes up to 4.2.1, so you'll need a newer generation...
    iPod touch 3rd generation only goes up to 5.1.1
    4th and 5th generation both go up to iOS 6.1.3, wich is the current latest version.
    Hope this helps

  • How can we transfer from Dummy profit center to Respective profit center

    How can we transfer from Dummy profit center to Respective profit center?
    Regards
    Rinky shah

    Hi Guru,
    Where ever for GL posting a account assignement as PCA is required, in absense of Profit Centre the entry will flow to dummy profit centre.
    You can use the same distribtion and Assessment (as we do for Cost Centre accounting) for allocation to the valid Profit Centre from the dummy Profit Centre.
    Hope this answers your query.
    Do you think this answer deserve reward points?

  • HT1338 I have just bought a new Mac Pro after my old one died after nearly 10 years. I have most of my music backed up on CDs, but when i load them into iTunes they are only identified as Track 1, 2, etc. Can I transfer from my iPod and how?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • Can I transfer from Apple TV to my new Ipod touch?

    I have a tricky situation on my hands. My old pc which my itunes library is stored can no longer connect to the internet. It was a windows 98 sony computer. I also have an ipod I bought 4 years ago that broke about the same time which was my device for this library. I just got the new 64 GB Ipod touch for Christmas and I also have an Apple TV. I would like to transfer all the music which is on my apple tv to my Dell Windows XP laptop computer so I can sync it to my new ipod. I have wifi on bot the laptop and apple tv. I have 8500 songs on the apple tv and the old computer with no internet connectivity.

    No you can't transfer things from AppleTV to any other device or iTunes library.
    Your best option would be to try to copy off the old iTunes library onto maybe an external drive (does the old machine have USB ? Could you add a USB PCI card?) and attach that to the laptop.
    Provided your old computer works and the hard driev is k, you shoyld have a variety of potential options for getting the data from that onto something the new laptop can use - even removing the old computer drive, getting an IDE drive caddy with a USB 2.0 interface and hooking up to the laptop.

  • Can't transfer from albums to playlist

    I have worked at this for a few days without success.
    I am trying to set up a playlist.
    One song is on the playlist but will not play, when selected it will skip past the song selected and play the next song in the list.
    That was the beginning of other problems.
    Now that I deleted that album off my IPod and tried to reload from the computer it will not transfer from the computer to the IPod.
    I hope someone can help me. I really loved my IPod but these constant updates are starting to get to me.

    Sync the iPod again. (First delete the song(s) off the iPod)
    Reset/Restore your iPod.

  • Can I transfer from 4s to 6 using itunes on OS 10.5.8

    Can I transfer data from iphone 4s to new iphone 6 using itunes on a Macbook late 2008 OS 10.5.8?

    Probably, but only the people at the store can say for certain. Alternatively, you can back the iPhone 4S up to the iCloud and then restore the iPhone 6 from that backup.
