Can't transfer from my old iPhone 4 to the new 4S
Been on phone with Apple for a couple of hours, but with no success.
When I try to transfer what is on my old phone, I am unable to "Transfer Purchases" because when I try, I get a message telling me I must authenticate my computer. SO then I authenticate, get a message telling me I am already authenticated, and then when I click OK I get a message telling me I must authenticate my computer. So I put in USer name & PW & get a message that I am authenticated & then when I click OK I get that messge that I must authenticate, and so on ad infinitum. Went through everything the Apple support people have on their trouble shooting lists.
If I want to transfer purchaes without authenticating, it is allowing a transfer of everything except 3 apps, and 89 songs.
Both the Apple techs & I are at a loss. Would really like to start using my new iPhone with my old stuff.
Any ideas?
have you tried this? remove the SC Info? iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes ...
if it still doesnt work, just use Downloading past purchases from the App Store ... - Support - Apple the only thing you need to transfer are the ringtones. have a great night

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. -
Exchange SMS from my old Iphone to the new one?
I would like all of my sms textmessages to transfer from my old Iphone3 to the new Iphone4. Is this possible?
No iTunes content on the iPhone including 3rd party apps are included with the iPhone's backup. All iTunes content on the iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer.
This is completely separate and not related to the iPhone's backup, which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. The link I provided includes all info about the iPhone's backup - the data included with the backup, etc.
There is no setting to include or not included messages and the same for any other data that is included with the iPhone's backup. It is automatic per the link provided.
Check you check the link for MobileSyncBrowser and use that to see if the messages are available with your backup to extract by the utility? I believe there is a free trial that is limited but at least will determine if the messages are included with your old iPhone's backup. If not, they are gone unless they are still available on your old iPhone. If so, you can delete the existing backup for your old iPhone and manually create a new backup for your old iPhone with iTunes. -
HT1414 is it possible to copy backup taken from my old iphone to the new one?
is it possible to copy backup taken from my old iphone to the new one?
Sure you can, as long as you still have the old backup.
I have restored my iDevices (iPod Touches, iPads and iPhone) from backups a number of times. I've done this long after the devices were setup. Sometimes I restore from a backup because I have tweaked a setting and it screwed something up on my device so I restored from a backup in order to restore the previous "non-tweaked" setting back to the device. -

Do you mean to import photos from iphone to computer? Is this what your doing http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Looks like your syncing pics on your computer to your phone. to remove it when your phone is sync to itunes, uncheck sync in the photos tab. -

How do you transfer photos from an old iPhone to your new one??
Photos in your camera roll are included in the iPhone backup, & restoring your new phone from the backup of your old phone, as described here, will restore these photos to your new phone:

Photos synced to your phone are not included in any iPhone backup. If you're talking about photos that were synced to your old phone, just sync them to your new phone. -
How to get the service from my old iphone onto the new one
I've transfered everything from the old iphone to the new one but the service didn't transfer. I would like to be able to call and text.
Carrier is the only one that can transfer services. If the phone takes a sim card you would need to swap it out unless its the new iphone 5 it takes a micro sim or if its a 3gs to a 4 they also have different size sim cards.

HT201269 How can i transfer sent email from my old iphone to the new one?
Trying to figure out how to transfer sent email from my old iphone 4 to my new iphone 5s. Anyone have any idea?
If you have a POP account, this will not happen. If you have an IMAP or Exchange account signing in as the other poster stated will work. So, it depends on what type of account you have.

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.
