How can I get photos from my old phone to new phone?

I Have been trying to move photos from my 4s to my 5s and don't know how to move these via icloud as want to give my old phone away

Add them to a shared stream as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99.  You don't need to invite any subscribers; when asked to enter an email address, just tap Next to skip it (as the owner of the shared stream you are automatically subscribed).  Then open the shared stream on your 5s and save the photos to your camera roll by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  Then you can delete the shared stream.
Also, this is what you should do before giving away your old phone: What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

    Hi Hannah,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The article linked below will walk you through restoring the iPhone from a previous iCloud or iTunes backup.
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Restore from an iCloud backup
    If you have a new iOS device, or if you need to restore your iOS device to resolve an issue, follow these steps.
    Follow the initial steps in the iOS Setup Assistant (select your language, and so on).
    Select Restore from iCloud Backup when the assistant asks you to set up your iPhone (or other iOS device).
    Select the backup you created earlier.
    You can restore a backup only by using the iOS Setup Assistant.
    If you've already set up your device, you can erase all current content to go through the iOS Setup Assistant again. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do this only if you already have a backup, because this step will remove all current content from your device.
    Use iTunes
    Restore from a backup
    If you have a new iOS device, or if you need to restore your device to resolve an issue, follow these steps:
    Connect your iOS device to the computer that has your backup.
    Make sure this computer has the latest version of iTunes.
    Choose File > Devices > Restore from Back up.
    If you're using iTunes 10.7 or earlier, right-click the device from the list and choose Restore from Backup.

  • How can I get photos from my LG phone to my Mac with bluetooth, when LG says there bluetooth is not compatible with Macs?

    Any ideas?

    Follow up question: Can I put music from my imac onto my phone via bluetooth? I'm connected, sharing, etc, and a couple times it looked like it sent some songs to the phone and put them in a "shared" folder, but I can't find the shared folder. on the phone. Any ideas? When I go to My Music, it just keeps prompting me to go buy stuff with the VCast Rhapsody thing and I can't get past that. Thanks,
    Please start a new thread with this. The OP was about getting pics from a phone to a MacOS machine.

    Hi People!
    Please help...I want to know how can i get photos from ipad to the computer, that were synchronized previously to ipad but from another pc that i dont have access anymore and these pics are now only found in this ipad and no other place.

    Hi Alan,
    Thanks for the help, but i've actually done that before.
    It does not help, because it only shows the photos on the camera roll and do not show the photos synchronized with that pc that i dont have access anymore.
    The photos/albums all appear on the ipad, i can see it without problems but i cant get them out of the ipad to save onto pc for backup.
    And i reaaly need it, as it is the only place that i actually have these photos now...

  • HT201317 How do I get photos from my I phone onto my I pad? Photo stream seems to be transferring from my I pad to phone but not the other way round.

    How do I get photos from my I phone onto my I pad? Photo stream works I pad to I phone but not the other way round?

    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
    If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

I now have a new computer and iPod and I have an iTunes account on my iPhone5. How can I get access to my old songs on new computer? Are they lost for good?

    As long as they are already ticked in your iTunes then yes. Just to check do a sync and as long as everything stays the same you are good to go.

    I used the following method, which means that your contacts are permanently on your iPhone (the problem with syncing to Gmail in order to 'transfer' contacts is that you need the gmail account to be active all the time in order to see the contacts), take an example of transferring contacts from Sony to iPhone:
    1. Transfer all of your contacts to the Sony Experia's internal storage. It will create a vCard file.
    2. Connect your Sony Experia to a pc
    3. Ensure that you can see the Sony Experia's internal storage files, and identify the location of the vCard file (for me it was in system/PIM)
    4. Set up an email account on your iPhone
    5. Email the vCard file to the email account on your iPhone
    6. Open the vCard file attachment on your iPhone
    7. You should now see your contacts and automatically have the option (in the same screen) to 'Add all xxx Contacts' where xxx is the number of contacts in the vCard file
    Hope that helps.

  • HT201302 How do i get photos from my old iphone saved on a flashdrive to upload to itunes so that i can get them back on my new iphone?

    So I needed to get a new iphone because my old one had a broken lock button and it was in my warranty that i could get a new one for free so i did. Knowing that, before the switch of phones i downloaded all of my pictures and videos onto my dell laptop under windows photo gallery thinking that i could transfer them back onto my new iphone once i got it. I thought that i knew how to do this but i guess i dont. i uploaded all of the photos from my laptop onto a new flashdrive i just bought hoping that i could some how transfer the photos to my desktop computer that has itunes on it. i was also unsuccessful in doing this so now i have no idea what to do! please help!

    You need to put the folder of pictures somewhere on the computer that contains iTunes. After connecting the phone to the computer, selecting the phone and looking in iTunes, go to the Photos tab and select these photos and sync.

  • How can I transfer photos from an old Windows phone to an iPhone without a PC/Mac?

    My mother has used a Windows phone for the last three years and has just upgraded to an iPhone. She doesn't have a PC or Mac. I have tried using MS OneDrive, which automatically uploads pictures taken with the Windows phone, similar to the iCloud Photo Library. However, using the iOS app to access those pictures, they have been shrunk down to a tiny fraction of their original size. They are unusable, a blurry, pixilated mess. And you can only save one at a time to the iPhone camera roll. Is there any other way to do this? I obviously want the full size photos to be copied over to the iPhone, en masse.
    Thanks for any help.

    I was going to suggest Dropbox but apparently they announced a Windows Phone app in November and it isn't out yet. The following appears to be a 3rd party app that will work to get things from a Windows phone to Dropbox and may be worth investigating: http://betanews.com/2014/03/06/theres-finally-a-great-dropbox-client-for-windows -phone/

  • How can I restore ringtones from my old phone to my new phone?

    How can I restore my ringtones from my old phone to my new phone? I know I've done it before, but I can't figure it out.
    Thanks!
    Lynn

    If you purchased them from Verizon, you MAY be able to recover them by logging in to your account and checking under MyMedia to see if it's available. You may need to repurchase, since in most cases, ring tones are purchased for the specific device and do not transfer to a new device.
    You can also use a service like Phonezoo to get ringtones; it keeps track of all your downloaded ringtones and wallpapers and you can get them again for a new device - and it's all free.
