Help with transferring contacts and messages

Hi there - I would be grateful if someone could help me . I need to transfer my contacts and messages from my iPhone 4 to iPhone 5…
Is there an easy way of doing this
Manu thanks

Do you have a old backup of your device data? Or is there any way to power up your device and have a backup of your device data? If any of this is possible then you can get the data transferred to your new device.

  • Help with transferring contact list

    So here's my problem, I had a Pearl 8130, and broke the trackball on it so it is no longer functional.  I just received my Curve in the mail today, and I want to move all my contacts from my Pearl to my Curve.  Everytime I plugged my phone into my computer, I hit "backup."  So my question is, how do I get them off of my Pearl?  If they are stored to my computer, what is the file they are stored in?  I can't seem to find anything anywhere, and there are no contacts from my phone in Outlook.  Is there another way to get them off my Pearl that won't require me using my trackball (it is literally gone).  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

  • Help With Transferring Contacts

    Hi, I recently broke my blackberry curve. The outer case got very damaged and the plug in to change is damaged without repar. Therefore the phone battery is dead and I can't recharge. However I recently got a new blackberry phone from Verizon. My question is how do I transfer the contacts from my old broken and unusable Blackberry to my new Blackberry Curve?
    My service is Verizon.

  • Need help with my contacts and email - used to have ipod touch

    Hi all
    I had an ipod touch in the past that I used to sync through the laptop i'm on now. However, I sold that quite some time ago and just got a new iphone the other day. when I hooked it up to my laptop to set up, my old touch account came up. This normally wouldn't be a problem but now it's syncing all my OLD contacts (thousands of them) and old email accounts...some of which are not in my windows live mail anymore.
    How do I go about:
    1) getting rid of all these contacts that were just loaded onto the phone
    2) starting new to add only the contacts I have in my windows live contacts list?
    I've tried deauthorizing the computer but that didn't do anything other than delete old apps I had on the touch.
    Much appreciated!

    Were you provided an option to transfer the backup from your Touch to your iPhone that you accepted?
    Which supported application on your computer are you syncing contact info with?
    With Vista, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with the address book used by Windows Mail with Vista - which is the name change for Outlook Express with Vista. The address book is called Windows Contacts I believe and the sync option for contact info is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences.

  • Ive lost all contacts and messages after updating to ios5 ??? Help

    Ive lost all my Contacts and messages after updating to ios5 ??? Help
    How can I get them all Back ???

    Have had the same issue - and conflicts between PC, Ipad and Iphone.  Gained 6000 names and lost contacts or contact contents.  Have had to edit on PC.  Spoke with Apple Express and was advised to do editing only on PC and then sync.  Was also told not to use Icloud until problems had been solved.  Have spent last two weeks recreating my contacts list.
    Haven't yet bothered to reclaim my missing paid ring tones.

  • HT1296 i want to sync my itunes to a new iphone that has been restored from a backup on my old one, how di i only sync the music without erasing everything else like contacts and messages?

    i have just got a new iphone 4s, replacing the last one i had, and i have restored it from itunes with the data from my last iphone. i want to sync the music to this but it is already synced with the last computer i had, so how do i sync my iphone without erasing every bit of content from my iphone, such as the things that are important to me like the contacts and messages and photos?
    please help!
    Thank you!

    Only iTunes content and photos transferred from another computer is affected when transferring iTunes content and photos from a different computer. Contacts aren't touched unless you choose to sync contacts with a supported address book app. Messages aren't included with the iTunes sync process and the same for photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll.

    Hello!  I've seen a lot of threads about restoring via iTunes but haven't found my particular situation yet.  So hopefully someone can give me some insight into my predicament.  I updated my iPhone 4S with io7 and my wifi broke.  So I got a new iPhone 4S with ios6 loaded on it.  I want to keep ios6 until Apple can figure out how to fix the wifi/bluetooth chip running hot.  I backed up my phone right before I swapped to the new 4S.  But when I try to restore from backup it won't let me because the backup I did was with ios7 and it wants me to upgrade my ios6 to ios7.  Obviously I don't want to do that only to have my new phone break again. 
    Options I see is pay for some 3rd party software that can restore my contacts, texts, etc. Upgrade to ios7 and pray it doesn't break again.  Get a new phone.
    But I don't like any of those options.  I want to keep ios6 until they make me upgrade it. 
    Anyone have any ideas???
    Apreciate the help in advance.

    You already know the answer to your questions, whether you like them or not.

  • On iPhone4, can i restore only contacts and messages from my backup after restoring to factory defaults

    Hi,
    I have a iPhone4 and backed it up before reset to factory defaults. Now, I want to restore only contacts and messages stored in my backup.
    Can someone let me know whether this is possible?
    If yes, please help me with steps to restore only contacts and messages.
    Thanks!

    The restore from backup process is all or nothing, there is no selective restore process.

      Are you scanning as jpeg, tiff or some other format?
    Are you using continuous numbering for files names as by definition scanned files have no exif data.

  • HOW TO TRANSFER CONTACTS AND MESSAGES FROM 3G TO 3GS

    I BOUGHT NEW 3GS 2012 MODEL 8GB , AND WANT TO TRANSFER MY CONTACTS AND MESSAGES FROM MY OLD 3G 8GB TO NEW 3GS.
    OLD 3G IS NOT SUPPORTING TO I CLOUD. HOW CAN I GET ALL MY CONTACTS AND MESSAGES IN NEW 3GS?
    THANKS IN ADVANCE

    Can you try first backing up your 3G with iTunes (I guess synching also does this) and then restoring your new 3GS using this backup.
    Note that this might delete all other data you have in your new 3GS (if any) and replace it with the data you have in 3G. This might also lower the version of your OS in your 3GS, however you should be easily update the OS if restore becomes successful.
