How Can I Transfer My Data to my new iPhone?

Currently, I have an iPhone 4, and will most likely get the new one when it comes out in the fall. If I sold my 4 before buying the new one, how would I transfer my contacts, pictures, etc. onto the new one? Do I just keep my old SIM Card and put it in the new one?

iPhones don't store any data on SIM cards. 
You need to backup your current phone either to iCloud or iTunes, and sync your contacts with either an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.) 
When you get your new phone (Thanks for not calling it the "iPhone 5"), you'll restore that backup and sync as part of the activation process.

  • HT4994 How can i transfer texts from sim to new iphone 4s?

    Hi,
    I've just got a new iPhone 4s.When I ordered it with O2 the sales lady told me i could keep all my texts from old samsung phone by transferring them onto the new sim and then from that onto the phone. I've got as far as putting the new sim in the phone but can't find how to get the texts from the sim onto the new phone.
    Can anyone help please?
    Many thanks.

    I don' t want them to get away with crap selling and now even more appalling customer service. And i don't want to lose my texts which are now on a microsim that won't tranfer to the iphone. I just want someone to say-yes we cocked and now we're going to fix this ( different phone, money off etc) but they are telling me there's nothing i can do except drive a 50mile round trip to one of their shops (but they won't pay for petrol). I'am about to explode!!!!

  • How can I transfer Sidekick contacts to the new iPhone??

    Just wondering how I could get my SideKick LX contacts either onto my new iPhone or onto the computer???
    Thanks!

    Does the SideKick support storing contact information on the SIM card?
    If you are an existing at&t subscriber with your SideKick.
    AT&T Devices (with AT&T SIM)
    1. Install SIM card from previous device into iPhone 3G and select Settings >>>
    Mail/Calendar/Contacts >>> Import SIM Contacts >>> SIM Import.
    2. If you will not be using your old SIM card in iPhone 3G (e.g. your old SIM card was
    2G and had to be replaced) remove the old SIM card and re-install the new active AT&T 3G SIM card.
    Note: When transferring contacts from SIM card to iPhone 3G, only the first number
    listed for each contact will be transferred to the new device. If any secondary numbers
    are listed under a contact they will not be transferred.

    Transferring backup assistant to new iPhone

    My problem is similar.  I upgraded from an old LG phone to an iPhone 4s.  I used the backup assistant app, and it seemed successful until I realized that only email addresses were saved as contacts in the new phone.  The old phone was not email compatible, so the old contacts are all phone numbers, so NO ZERO NADA phone numbers were moved to the new phone.
    Here's where it gets sticky.  The old phone has gone missing with all its precious phone numbers.  I was going to try to look at the contacts in backup assistant online (even though I had never done any management of contacts online in the past) and see if it still had the phone numbers or if it had magically synced the online version with the email-only contacts.
    I don't want to store my contacts in the cloud, so is there a way to access the online version of backup assistant to see if it may still have my phone number contacts? 
    Please help!  Thank you. 

  • How can I transfer outlook data from Ipod to new hard drive?

    My hard drive had to be replaced last week. Although my music was backed up by Norton 360, my Outlook contacts and calendar were not backed up. How can I transfer my data from my Ipod to my new hard drive? I am running Windowa XP, if that matters. Will a sync to Itunes destroy all my data on my Ipod?

    You would need to enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer, then when you first sync you should get the option to merge the data.

  • I have an iPhone 3GS that I dropped in water. It still does everything but get service, can I back it up and transfer its data to a new iPhone 3GS? I heard something about how loading a backup from a water damaged phone could mess up the new one...

    I have an iPhone 3GS that I dropped in water for a moment. After drying it and everything, it still does everything but get service. Can I back it up and transfer its data to a new iPhone 3GS? I heard something about how loading a backup from a water damaged phone could mess up the new one... is this true? I would truly appreciate the help, please let me know, thanks!

    Sounds like your phone is in recovery mode.  In this case, all data on it is gone.  There's nothing to back up.
