How can I retrieve back up's from my old Iphone and download them onto my PC?

I have a couple old iphones with pictures saved on my icould but they are broken. How can I retrive my icould information and save it on my PC?

When you say that you have pictures saved on iCloud from those old phones, do you mean that you backed them up to iCloud at some point? Were the photos taken on the phones? Did you have Photo Stream? Is it the same iCloud account as your new phone?
Here's why I am asking - if they are on the same iCloud account and had Photo Stream, any chance you are still seeing the photos on Photo Stream on your new phone?
If you are certain that the last backups to iCloud that you did with those phones contain the photos you want, you could always take the radical step of restoring a phone to one of those backups, importing the photos, then restoring that phone to the other backup, and importing those photos....
Depends on how badly you want to get those photos....it would be a complicated process, and you would want to make sure that you had the device you were doing all of that on backed up as well, so you could ultimately restore it back to the way it was before you started messing around.....also, they would all need to be on the same iCloud account or you would have to then start messing around with the iCloud settings as well.
But just wanted to let you know that there would be a way to do it....just not a very quick and easy way.
Cheers,

  • How can i export my contacts numbers from my old iphone and import it to my new iphone?

    I want change my iphone,but i dont want to lose my numbers and datas!

    If Contacts are the only thing you care about, you can turn on iCloud on the old phone following the setup instructions in http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ and insure that you turn on Contacts in the list of items to be synced.
    You can verify that the contacts are uploaded to iCloud by then logging in to https://www.icloud.com
    On your new phone, when you setup iCloud and turn on Contacts, as you did on the old phone following the instructions above, the contacts will automatically sync to the new phone.
    If you want to transfer more than just contacts, the following has instructions on how to backup the old phone and restore to the new one (either using iCloud or iTunes): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109

  • Is there any way to take backed up files from an old OS and get them onto a new phone?  They are backed up as txt files.

    I have a six year old lap top with an old OS and itunes 10.  I backed up my i phone 4 on it.  I got an I phone 5 and the version of Itunes compatible is not supported by the laptop.  I installed itunes on a different computer and when trying to sync the iphone 4 to the desktop, updated the iphone 4 software.  Now my iphone 4 is no longer compatible with my laptop.  I am interested in getting my contacts and photos from my old laptop to either iphone at this point.  I have the backed up files but they are txt files in the Mobile Sync Back ups.  Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    Generally when moving from one phone to another, individuals will make a backup of the one device and then restore to the second device. However, it seems you are no longer using the computer you made the backup on, so that can be a problem. There is no way for you to take information out of the backup and insert it in the iPhone. It is an all or none proposition. But, just moving the backup folder from one computer to another doesn't work either.
    Did you sync the contacts to a supported application on the computer? Also, if you are referring to the photos in the camera roll, you can import them to the computer by connecting the phone to the computer. You do not need iTunes to do that. Just plug in and let the computer photo import utility take the pictures and put them on the computer. Then you would sync the photos back to the photo library on the new phone,
    Contacts you can look at a 3rd party app that might help. MCBackup is in the app store and converts your contacts to a file you can email to yourself and then click on it and open it. Suggest syncing contacts/calendar to a supported application on the computer, or to iCloud so you can recover a lot easier.

  • How can i take the pictures from my old ipod and transfer them onto my computer without deleting anything

    How can I take the pics from my old ipod and transfer them onto my computer without deleting anything?

    Pictures on an iPod are stored in a special format, optimized for the iPod's small lower resolution screen, to save storage space.  iTunes puts them into that format when syncing.  There is setting in iTunes, on the iPod's Photos screen (where you set up syncing of photos) for Include full resolution photos.  If that checkbox was checked when you synced the photos to the iPod, THEN you can Enable disk use and find those photo files on the iPod in the Photos folder. 
    Otherwise, you cannot get your photos back, using iTunes.  There may be third-party utilities that can extract individual photos from the iPod, but they will still be lower-resolution versions of the original photo.

  • How can I access a calendar backup from my old iPhone?

    How can I access a calendar backup from my old iPhone?
    I recently had to get a replacement iPhone 4. The tech at the Apple Store thought that I might have had a software problem and recommended that I not "restore from backup," but start this phone as a new device and just sync the apps and what-not. My calendar on my computer was different than the one on my old phone, though, and now I need the data from my old iPhone calendar. I did back up my old phone just prior to taking it to the Apple Store.
    HELP!

    Well what you can do is update to ios5 then use icloud to sync your calandar up to your phone then restore your phone as new and when prompted in the new phone setup put in your icloud username and password and you will have your calandar events back.

  • How can I import not only apps from the old iphone to the new iphone, but also the content of the apps?

    How can I import not only apps from the old iphone to the new iphone, but also the content of the apps?

    You can sync apps as you normally would, but I do not believe this copies over app specifc data (i.e. saved game status/scores).
    You can always restore your new device with a backup from your old device.

  • How can i transfer all the music from my old iphone to a new one

    my iphone broke. i have a new one and im trying to get all the music from the old one to the new one. i dont wanna delete all the music on the old phone i just wanna like "Copy" it to the new phone but i dont know how thats why im asking for help.

    I feel I've explained plenty what you must do but you aren't getting it.
    All music on your old iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Transfer the music from your iTunes library on your computer to your new iPhone in the same way it was transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone - via the iTunes sync/transfer process.
    Since you prefer the manual way, you must manually drag and drop the same 377 songs from your iTunes library to your new iPhone - in the same way the 377 songs were manually transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone.
    Or you can sync which provides more options overall. Create an iTunes playlist for the 377 songs. Select Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and choose selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Select the iTunes playlist below that includes the 377 songs followed by a sync.

  • How can I move Camera Roll photos from my old iPhone 3G to my new iPhone 4?

    Hi,
    I have just got my new iPhone 4 and I'm very happy with it, really a great step-up from my old 3G. I do have one question though, in my old iPhone 3G I have about 300 photos in the camera and I would like to export them and then import them to the camera roll in my new iPhone 4...is this possible?
    Thanks in advance for your input guys!
    //Richard

    Only if you restore your new phone from the backup of your old phone. Camera roll photos are included in your iphone backup. However, its not wise to keep photos in your camera roll. They should be imported to your computer on a regular basis. From there, you can then sync them back to your phone, but not back to your camera roll.

  • How can I uninstall Logic Pro 9 from my old computer and reinstall on my new computer?

    Pardon the newbie question. I plan to upgrade to a new computer. I have Logic Pro 9 and Mainstage on my current computer and a bunch of other paid software. How can I migrate these paid apps/software to my new computer?
    thanks for any help.

    If you installed them from a DVD, you need to install that DVD onto the new computer. If you got them from the Mac App Store, redownload them from there for free.
    Having previously purchased an application on DVD or from the iTunes App Store does not allow a free download of it from the Mac App Store.
