  • How do I transfer contacts from 3GS (4.3.5) to 5S (7.0.4) without losing them in 3GS update to 6.1.3?

    I bought a new iPhone 5S (7.0.4) and have backed up all other data from my iPhone 3GS (4.3.5) to my iTunes (I had to update iTunes to the latest version) in hopes to then transfer that data to the 5S.  For whatever reason, it doesn't appear that any of my 3GS contacts were backed up to my iTunes and I know for sure they didn't get restored to the 5S since they aren't there like my photos and apps. 
    I read somewhere that I would need to uprgade the iOS on my 3GS from 4.3.5 to 6.1.3 and then make the 3GS compatible with iCloud and then transfer the contacts via iCloud from the 3GS to my new 5S.  I started this process (updating my 3GS to 6.1.3) and even though it said I would lose all my media data but that I would be able to preserve my contacts when asked during the update process.  The update process completed and then I attepmted to restore my data on my 3GS.  This process started but it could not finsih beachse "an error had occured (-1)" and the process was not completed. 
    I then turned on my 3GS and it is now asking me if I want to make it my new iphone, restore from the iCloud, or restore from iTunes back-up.  I have no idea what to do and am supper worried now about losing my contacts.
    What do I do to get my contacts!?!?!

    Backing up saves your settings and other stuff on core apps but it  doesnt save your appdata(that's is the main thing i am looking for) so it wont restore that when i restore it  from the backup i create and this article too says it http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972 so i would like too know how do i keep my data stored in apps from the appstore if there is any way to keep the data. Thanks anyway. If anyone else knows a way then please help as i accidentally clicked on this solved my question. :|

  • HOW DO I TRANSFER CONTACTS FROM 3GS TO 4GS?

    I recently upgraded my 3gs to a 4s. When I synced it to ITunes it did not transfer all my text conversations, contacts and emails. Is there a way to do this?

    Try restoring the iPhone 4S from the iPhone 3GS's backup.

  • Transfering calling contacts from 3gs to 4s please help!!!!!

    i got a iphone 3gs just got a iphone 4s how do i transfer all my calling contacts and stuff over to the 4s please your all amazing please help.

    If you mean with calling contacts the contacts you see under "Phone - Calling list" I think the only possibility could be an iCloud Backup.
    On your 3GS you have to install iOS 5.0 and create an iCloud backup (Settings - iCloud - Backup - start backup now).
    If you start you 4S for the first time you have to select "backup from iCloud". If your iphone 4S is already activated without selecting this (at the first time you started the 4S) I think there is no possibilty to get your calling contacts to the 4S.
    Actually I'm not sure about that, because I think iCloud backup will not backup your calling list. It will backup f.ex. your messages and other stuff, but the calling list... :/

  • Moving contacts from 3GS to 4S

    My (AT&T) iPhone 4S just arrived. The card says to make sure that I "move contacts" before activating but it doesn't tell me how to do that. If I back up the 3GS in iTunes will the Contacts carry over when I sync the 4S? Thanks for the help.

    I have had similar issues backing up to iCloud. Thy only thing I have found to work every time is backing up to iTunes and then doing a restore to my new device. That includes iPhone 6.

  • Sync contacts from 3gs to new 4s

    I have just recieved my new iphone 4s and have run a sync with my computer however it hasnt syncd any of my contacts or music just my apps. Is this because I called it my new iphone and not continued it being my old one?? and if so how do I correct this any ideas???

    On the left side of iTunes it will show your iPhone under Devices. Right click on it and choose "Restore from backup" and choose a backup. This will get your contacts, calendars, photos from camera roll, and settings onto your new iPhone.

  • Transferring contacts from 3GS to 4S

  • HT1386 simple and easy way to sync my contacts from iPhone 3gs to Macbook Pro that both my partner and I use. Have tried with photos and and only 350 of 3,500 items have synced. Remember simple and easy, I'm still learning-slowly.

    Simple and EASY way to sync contacts from 3gs iPhone to MacBook Pro. Partner and I both use macBook. I have tried and get a message that only 350 of 3,500 item have syncd- all photos. I'm still learning and am very afraid of doing something that will wipe out all info,contacts and photos. Entering this site, the account shows my partners name, but accepts my other information.

    First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
    Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
    Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
    What computer do you have?

  • I have a new SIM/service and want to transfer all my contacts from the current 4S to the new SIM in my old 3GS.  I do NOT want to backup/restore the entire phone contents (iTunes or iCloud), JUST the contacts.  How?

    Current phone 4S with service from one provider.  Also have a new SIM with another provider, and want to copy my contacts from the 4S across to my old 3GS which I will be using for a bit as an alternative.  Definitely do not want anything except the contacts copied across so a full backup/restore is NOT what I'm after, and I can't see (in the iTunes backup) how to only do the contacts.

    Sorry, my bungle - from what devices I am used to - these Apple things still have me confused at times.
    The core requirement is the same - to get the contacts from the 4S onto the 3GS without backing up the whole device/apps etc.
    And a second part of that is how to get the contacts onto a SIM for a device that DOES store them there.  No doubt that will be a problem as it only has name/number combos, not all the fruit the iPhone keeps under a contact.  Maybe it can't done.  A simple export to CSV or something that could be edited would suffcie if there were an import tool to get it onto the SIM in the simpler format.

  • Can't synch Notes or Contacts from iPhone 3GS after upgrade to iOS5

    After I upgraded to iOS5 on my iPhone 3GS, I no longer can synch Notes and Contacts from iPhone to Outlook or iCloud. Calendar synchs OK.

    After 2 hours with Apple Support, which was great, we figured out the issue. 1-800-my-iphone. When I upgraded to iOS5 and started using the iCloud, I was unaware that my previous synching settings were still set to Yahoo.com where I had been sycning wirelessly in the past. So the Apple support tech showed me that I had multiple accounts in both Notes and Contacts. I had iPhone, iCloud, yahoo, Outlook accounts and my default settings on the iphone should have all been set to icloud. Syching was occuring, but not in icloud. It took a little manual conversion of some Notes and Contacts into the icloud folders in Outlook, but now everything works and I only display and use the iCloud accounts in Notes and Contacts. Apple realizes that this is an issue for those of us that were previously using Yahoo and equivalents for wireless synching and they provded my support free. Usually they charge $27. All is well.

    There are apps you can dowload that will let you sync your contacts across platforms or backup and restore contacts without iTunes.  An app that will sync your contacts is Contacts Sync.  Search the app store and find an app that will meet your needs.
