Carrying app info over to new iPhone

Is there a way to keep saved info in apps after upgrading to the iPhone 4S? For instance, my Tiny Tower is thriving- I'd hate to have to start over!
Thanks!

All app data is contained in the iPhone backup in iTunes.  If you backup and sync your old phone prior to activating the iP4S, you can restore the backup data to the new phone.  However, you should update the old phone to iOS 5 before the final backup so that the data will be compatible with the iP4S.

  • Can I restore my info to a new iPhone 6 plus using a backup of an iPhone 4s running iOS 7.1.2?

    Just bought a new phone and want to import all my app settings and information. I have heard all the complaints about iPhone 4s running iOS 8 and don't want to update until I have it preinstalled on a new 6+.
    Can I restore my info to a new iPhone 6 plus using a backup of an iPhone 4s running iOS 7.1.2?
    or would I have to upgrade my 4S to iOS 8, backup, and then restore the new phone. I need to ensure that my 4S powers on and works so I can receive trade in credit for it (~$200), so this is worth a bit to ensure that my 4S stays functional.
    Thanks

    You can load a backup from an earlier iOS version onto a device with a later iOS version, but not the other way around.
    If you're going to do this, I'd recommend doing a backup of your 4s to your computer (not iCloud) and load the backup onto the 6+ from the computer.  You can try an iCloud backup/installation, but also do a local backup in case something goes wrong. A local backup is more comprehensive than an iCloud backup, and in my experience it loads more reliably.

  • HT1766 How to recover all my apps purchased form App store on my new iphone ?

    How to recover all my apps purchased form App store on my new iphone ?

    If your former iPhone or iOS device was backed up wirelessly with your Apple iCloud account, when going through the setup assistant with a new iPhone you are prompted to transfer the backup for another iPhone or iOS device. A record of all apps that are or were on the the other iOS device will be transferred to the new iPhone along with all other data included with the backup. Each app will be downloaded.
    Or all apps can be re-downloaded manually by the iPhone one by one, or if all apps are in your iTunes library on your computer you can transfer the apps to the new iPhone via the iTunes sync process.

    Unless the app is available from the iTunes app store, you are out of luck.  There are many Android apps that are not available on the iPhone and likewise many iPhone apps not avaliable on Android.

  • As I try to download apps (Skype) for my new iPhone 5s, a message comes that says that my id is not valid for US and I need to switch to Bangladesh store, there is no Bangladesh store. How to download apps to my iPhone? I created ID without credit card

    As I try to download apps (e.g. Skype) for my new iPhone 5s, using my existing apple ID, it gives a message that my id is not valid for US store and I need to switch to Bangladesh store. There is no bangladesh Store. I created my id without credit card (payment option-none). How can I now downlod from itunes/apps store?

    If you're in Bangladesh, then there is no iTunes Store that you can use. Each country's iTunes Store is limited to those actually in that country. E.G from the terms of use for the iTunes Store:
    The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance.
    When or indeed if Apple will ever be able to open an iTunes Store in Bangladesh no one here will know.
    If you are physically in the US using a US-based account, post back and we'll go from there.
    Regards.

  • How to transfer apps on ipad to new iphone?

    Few months ago, I bought a new ipad. And I installed several apps on it, some of the apps are ipad only, and some of them are for iphone. Recently I got a new iphone, and I want to transfer those apps for iphone on my ipad to my new iphone. Not only install the app on iphone, but also transfer the data in those apps.
    So how should I do? Can itunes do it? Can I backup the ipad, and then recover the iphone by the ipad backup file?
    Thanks!!!

  • Apps disappeared after restored new iphone 4 from back up

    I just restored my new iphone 4 from my last 3GS back up, and all of my apps are gone! The folders I created are there, as is my 'wallpaper' and my address book, but none of my old apps.
    I had to transfer the back up file (which took FOREVER) from my Mac to my PC laptop, because my Mac is running 10.4.11 and therefore work work with iphone 4. Updating the Mac to 10.6 is not an option b/c it's got a powerpc processor, and rather than shell out 125 bones for Leopard, I am going to replace the Mac (when I can afford to do so).
    So does anyone have any idea why my apps didn't make it onto the new phone? Does it have to do with the fact that the phone was synced with the itunes library on my Mac? I will need to sync it to the Itunes library on the PC from now on(which is empty at the moment). Itunes asked if I wanted to sync it with this new library, but seems to suggest that doing that would wipe the phone. I can usually find the guidance I need through a search, but as my situation is a little complicated, I've been unable to find anything related to my specific problem. Any advice about how to rescue my apps would be most appreciated.

    I just had this happen yesterday! Ggggggrrrrr. I was trying to update a couple apps on my iPhone 4, and a message kept popping up saying “Can’t connect to iTunes”. After about 3 tries I thought maybe I just needed to reboot the phone.
    After the reboot and my iPhone turned back on, there were no more folders (except for one labeled ‘Utilities’ with about 4 apps in it on my home screen), and I had 11 pages of apps!
    All my apps were not visible because I have more than can fit on 11 pages, so I had to wait until I got home and synced with iTunes, then all my apps were visible.
    I had to manually recreate all my folders. I certainly hope Apple fixes this bug before it happens again – it’s beyond annoying!!

  • What are the apps featured in the new iPhone 5 TV AD?

    The new ad for iphone 5 featured a terrific apps for singers, please help me to find what apps are. Are those apps goor for ipad as well?

    Legality aside (I'm not a lawyer and have no opinion on the matter) in order to make a purchase of an iPhone 5 you would need to travel to a country where they are for sale and purchase it there. Be sure to get one that is officially unlocked or you would not be able to use it with your cell carrier. Be sure that your carrier supports use of the iPhone before you buy. Also note that the warranty of the iPhone is only valid in the country of purchase.
    Appe does not ship outside of the countries where it sells the phones.
