Copying Data to new phone

I am going to be switching from my older iphone to the 5, and I'm wondering if my text messages can be transferred over?

so as an icloud or itunes backup these will transfer or is it a separate process for a complete new phone? thanks for the response

Transfering SIM Card data to new phone?

Hi,
I was wondering if my SIM card holds all my addressbook data? I have just purchased a 6085 and want to transfer the data from my 6061 to my new phone. Will it all be in my SIM card or do I have to re-enter the contents of my old phone data manually to my new one?
Thanks!

The 6061 doesn't appear to have any connectivity with the outside. No connection to a computer, no bluetooth etc.
The only way you have of saving yourself any time is to copy your contacts to the SIM card if they're not already there. You can find the commands to do all of this in the "Contacts" menu.
This also assumes that there's enough room on the SIM for all of your numbers. Most SIMs are limited to 200 or 250 numbers, and if you have contacts with multiple numbers (home, mobile, work etc.) they will use up as many slots as there are numbers for those contacts.
Once everything is copied to your SIM, you can insert that SIM into the new phone and most of your data will be accessible. I say "most" because details other than straightforward phone numbers will not have been transferred since the mechanisms on a SIM cannot store them.

I have backed up my old phone to itunes, however, when I try to restore data to new phone it is saying the password is incorrect but I can get into my itunes account with my password so I am doing something wrong?

HT4859 Using iCloud to restore data to new phone

I had to replace my iPhone today and when I connected it to my computer, I accidentally clicked "restore to previous date" (or something similar) that happened to be way back in 2011. I should have clicked restore new phone so that I could have everything that was backed up last night. Anyone know how to undo/redo this? I have only texts, emails, contacts etc from 2011 now!

How do you restore icloud data to new phone

I have just gotten a replacement phone and I think I correctly saved my data on icloud. Now I want to restore it on the new phone. I can't seem to figure out how to do it . Please help.

If the phone is already set up, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts. Make sure it's connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.

ICloud and transfer of data to new phone

I recently subscribed to iCloud. Do I still have to back up purchases of songs, etc., or will the iCloud take care of this? Also, I am going to replace my iPhone 4 with an iPhone 5. How do I transfer all of the songs, etc. to the new device?

Your purchased media such as songs and apps are automatically "stored" by iCloud in the sense that you can redownload them at any time (provided they are still available in the iTunes and App stores), as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.

Difficulties getting old backup data to new phone

So, I thought it would be a simple thing to do - But no.I had a Xperia ZR (with Lolipop) and bought myself a Z3 compact. Before I resetted my ZR and made a backup using the backup program that the phone has in it, not PC companion. The result was a nice 800mb file on the SD-card, with all the apps, messeges, contacts and so on on it. So far so good. The major problem starts when I was about to resett all my old data to my new phone, using the exact same program on the Z3 compact. It can´t find the file at all, there is no option in restoring my old data in that app "backup & restore". All files are there in a map called ´.semc-fullbackup´ but the app can´t obviously do anything with it. A little help would be much appriciated! P.S my Sony ZR is sold, so no luck there.. Cheers

There should be another option except for the one which requires the old phone found at Xperia transfer > Sony/Sony Ericsson device > Xperia backup from computer.
I believe you're swedish so it should look like this:

Help! Problem with old phone's data to new phone.

My 4S got stolen, so I got a new one.
I initally selected the "start new iPhone" option, it copied all the apps, but no previous messages. When I realized that, I restored the new phone and then selected to restore the back up from the old phone. Now, the messages are up but I have no apps.
And I don't see the usual iPhone iTunes startup where you should see the tabs. It still shows the "Set Up Your iPhone" option.
What am I doing wrong and what should I do?

Did you use Apple's migration tool? It misses a lot of support files, especially in the Application Support directories.
You'll have to copy those files manually, or reinstall the app.

Copy Pearl data to new phone

I have a Pearl 8100 which has developed a bad screen.I was given another 8100 as a replacement. Same network, T-Mobile. I want to copy all the data, address book, etc. and setup from the old 8100 to the new one. I backed up the old 8100 using Blackberry DM but when I restored to the new 8100 nothing was changed. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,

Transfer encrypted data to new phone

Hello Sony community:
I own a xperia Z with all the data encrypted.
Under Setting > Security > Encryption > Encrypt phone Encrypted
I got a xperia Z3 recently and so I downloaded Xperia Transfer app but it won't work as my data were encrypted.
After I open the App, I got "The SD card is encrypted. Cannot extract data."
The "Next" button is deemed.
Any solutions?

Sorry there are no ways to do this - That is the purpose of encryption to stop data been copied etc incase of loss or theft

Script to copy data to new folder structure

I am working on a project where I need to migrate many TB's of data into a new folder structure.
I have exported the one of the folders including all sub-folder with treesize and exported it to excel.
So the source folder structure is in column A, which has several thousands lines and I have put the destination folders in column B.
Now I would like to script the data copy for every line the source folder is listed in column A and the destination folder is listed in column B.
This has to be done for all containing sub folders and files of course.
Has anyone got an idea how the script should look like ?
I can export the excel sheet to CSV, but then my knowledge stops unfortunately.

Win32 Device Namespaces
The "\\.\" prefix will access the Win32 device namespace instead of the Win32 file        namespace. This is how access to physical disks and volumes is accomplished directly, without going through the
file system, if the API supports this type of access. You can access many devices other than disks this way        (using the
CreateFile and
DefineDosDevice functions, for        example).

Currently have ipod touch 4 and am getting an iphone 5c. Want to transfer data to new phone. Currently all our family devices on one apple ID for purchases and it is the same for icloud. I want to create a new one for icloud for this iphone. What do I do?

Currently have ipod touch 4 and am getting iphone 5c this weekend. Currently our family has several apple devices and they have the same apple ID for itunes and it is the same ID that we use for icloud. I want to set up a separate icloud ID so that it is only on my new device. I still want to keep the same apple ID for purchases. Can I do this and better yet when do I do this...before the purchase, after the purchase and backing up of data. Where do I go to create a new one?

Figured it out. Thanks.

Unable Sync Organizer Data To New Phone

Purchased a Torch 9800 today and have been trying to transfer my contact list from my prior device. I had a Curve 8310 previously but lost it over the weekend. However, I backed my device up right before the weekend. I still can not figure out how to transfer or even access my backup data file to sync my new device.
Thank you for your time.

Additionally, when attempting to access the back up file to restore data the selection process leaves most of the entries as "read only" and they are dimmed

Still can't sync and restore data to new phone, apple support not answering

Still not able to sync new 4s phone. Called apple support I was on hold for 20 minutes and then it hung up. Called again and held for 15 minutes and they hung up on me again. Not happy with the support what is going on does anyone know?

If you didn't already do so, authorize your computer for the new ID by opening iTunes and going to Store>Authorize This Computer. Then sync your phone with iTunes.
