I lost my iphone and had to replace it. All my contacts were on my original iphone which wasa a version 4.
I had to replace the phone and now have a 4S. I had never backed up my original phone. How do I download all my contacts to icloud etc so I can upload to my new 4S?
Right now the original phone is "disabled" and it tells me I have to enter my 4 digit pin. It also says the only calls I can make are for assistance...
Once I have downloaded my contacts from original phone to icloud???...how do I sink my new 4 S.
Also, I have a new ipad and it has 3 G. I have lots of data in my ipone plan and don't need more. How do I "share" the data plan between my iphone and ipad? How do I keep the data backed up that is on both iphone and ipad.In Regards to this, You possibly wont be able to get the contacts from the iPhone 4 unless there is a back up file on your computer.
The original phone would be disabled due to alot of attempts of the wrong passcode. If all your contacts are on the cloud at the moment, you would be able to just set the iPhone 4S up with iCloud on it then Turn On "Contacts".
This would be bring all the contacts down from your iCloud onto your 4S.
But you will only be able to merge your contacts with the cloud when your original iPhone either has been enabled or the passcode was entered.
If you have previously already had iCloud on that device and have contacts Turned on, you will be able to just enter the same Apple ID you used for iCLoud on your original phone and use it on your new one.
Your able to check what content your iCloud holds via www.icloud.com
If you are unable to get past the disabled screen, then unfortunately the device will have to be put into recovery mode and then restored via iTunes NOTE: This will delete all data. -

I have the iPhone 4 and just upgraded to iPhone 4s how do I backup my data before I activate my iphone 4s? Please help!!
iOS devices are designed to be sync'd with a single computer, so thinking of future updates, backups and so forth, yes, it would be best to do it on your computer - the one you normally use for iTunes.
Note that backing up also does not backup everything in iTunes. Contacts, for example, will be backed up into whatever contact management program you normally use on your computer (eg. outlook on a Windows PC, contacts on a Mac).
If you have never backed up your iPhone, now is the opportune time to do so and learn how. Not having a backup means if anything goes wrong with your phone (or you loose it or it is stolen), you risk losing everything on it. -
The backup on my phone failed and I had to restore my phone. Everything came back except the ringtone I had purchased from itunes. How do I get it back?
If you previously transferred the tone to iTunes, you can sync it to the iPhone again.
If you don't see the ringtone in iTunes, you can contact the iTunes Store using Express Lane. -
How do i backup the rest of my contacts on my phone to icloud?
i had bought an i phone and trasnfered my contacts into the phone later on i signed up for icloud and it was actiavated in my phone since then all thenew contacts which i add in my directory they automatically store in icloud backup but the contacts which were already there before in my phone do not have a backup in iclound
so basically when my phone is lost or broken i can restore my new contacts from icloud but the remaning contacts need to be backup from my computer where i had previously saved.
i want to know how can i backup ALL MY CONTACTS NEW AND OLD in icloud so its much more conveninet and saves the hassleWelcome to the Apple community.
I think you are confusing backup with syncing. With backup, all contacts that are on your phone will be part of the backup file. With syncing only the contacts in your iCloud account are synced with iCloud.
Check the accounts that you have in the contact app, you may well have some contacts in your iCloud account and others in your "on my phone" account, the contacts in the latter account will not sync. -
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.

I can't back up to icloud on my iphone. I have 25 GB of icloud backup storage, but it won't give me access to backup to it. How do you fix. My phone is almost full. How can I start using the icloud storage?
If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable. -
.How can I sync my Iph5 to my MacBook to back up on itunes. The MacBook is currently on os x 10.5 and to sync itunes and backup my new phone I am getting a message saying i need 10.6 or later and it won't download.
catherine187As stated in the System Requirements, an iPhone 5 runs iOS 6. In order to sync to a computer you must have OSX 10.6.8 or later and iTunes 11 on the computer. If you can upgrade your MacBook to OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) you can purchase this version of OSX in the Apple Store. Most intel macs can run at least OSX 10.6.8. If your MacBook is a power pc Mac you are at the end of the supported operating systems and will not be able to upgrade the OSX or sync your iPhone 5.

my screen is broke and can't type my passcode in. plus i never plugged my phone into my computer. how can i backup my phone so i keep all my information before i buy a new phone?
It's too late for that. Maybe you should consider setting up your next iPhone to backup to iCloud... it happens automatically without user intervention once it's set up. All that's required is a power source for the phone and a WiFi internet connection.
