Plug in your 3G and open iTunes, in the left panel under devices right click on your iPhone and select backup. After you 3G is finsihed its back up plug your 4S into iTunes, in the left panel right click on your iPhone and select restore from back up, then select the backup files you just created from your 3G

  • TS1474 I have a new PC - great.  But the old PC has now gone and taken the backup of my iPhone 4S with it.  How do I get all my data from my iPhone to a new copy of iTunes on the new PC?

    I have a new PC - great.  But my iTunes library has now gone with the old PC.  With a new iTunes library how do I get all my data from my iPhone to a new copy of iTunes on the new PC?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Have you failed to do this?

    If your contacts are synced to your computer then they are in the supported app you are syncing with.
    When you set up syncing of contacts on your device, which application did you select? 

  • I want to know how I can get all my stuff from my iPhone 3 to my new iPhone five after I have already set up from new phone?

    You can restore a backup of the old device to a new one.  This will erase everything on the new one before restoring, so this may be an issue if you already have data on the new device. 
    To do a backup of the old device, iTunes is the safest route, in my opinion.  Many users have lost photos when performing a restore from an icloud backup.
    An icloud backup does not include everything.  For example,only photos in camera roll are backed up.  Also, music is not backed up since you get it back from itunes and (for purchased music) from the itunes store.
    To restore:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your phone.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your phone is new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

    HOW CAN I SYNC ALL MY CONTACTS FROM MY IPHONE TO ICLOUD?

    Go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account if you haven't already done so, turn Contacts on and choose Merge with iCloud when prompted.  If you are syncing contacts from an external account (Gmail, Yahoo, exchange, etc.) you will need to take additional steps to add them.  Let me know if that's the case.

  • How do I delete all the contacts from my iPhone 3?

    How do I delete all the contacts from my old iPhone 3 without having to do each one individually?

    If you've already deleted "everything else"...then plug your phone into a power source and: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings.
    Make sure you plug into a power source first...not your computer...as on an iPhone 3G, this can take some time. When finished, all data will be gone.

  • How do I put all the contacts from my iPhone to my iPad?  In the cloud, when I click contacts it says "The contacts you previously synced with your Mac will be merged with iCould".  Is this what I want?

    I want my phone contacts on my iPad and to sync anytime I add/delete/edit them....

    So I'm still confused on what I need to do....
    delete everything from my iPad and then use iCould to sync contacts?  Or just use iCould now without deleting everything and iCould will sync them automatically?
    The latter should work if you respond Yes to merging the contacts. this will make all of the contact on icloudn AND the contats currently on the iPad available on all devices (merge them into one set of contacts).

  • TS1347 hi, I'd like to know how do i get my "Hotmail Contacts" from my iphone to my macbookpro, can you help me?

    I haven't been able to transfer those contacts. I tried via ICloud, but it doesn't transfer them all... I need the Hotmail and Exchange contacts, so again... Could you help me?

    Try using the app My Contacts Backup, which will back up your contacts as an attachment to an email.  Send this email to yourself, open it on your Mac and double-click the attachment to import them to Address Book (or Contacts if you have Mountain Lion).

  • HT204053 I somehow erased all my contacts from my IPHONE, how can i export them from icloud to my phone?

    I somehow erased all my contacts from my iPhone, how can I export my contacts from my icloud account from my PC?

    joephilipose,
    If the contacts are still in Address Book on your computer, but just not on the phone, you can tell iTunes to force replace the contacts on your phone with those from your computer. You can do this by going into the Info tab when your iPhone is connected, and checking the Contacts box under the Advanced section at the bottom of the page.
    You may also want to backup your Address Book information as well. It's a good idea to make periodic backups of your contact and calendar information in case information accidentally gets deleted or changed. You can find out how to backup your Address Book data here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    To backup your iCal information, follow the steps in this article:

    Hope this helps,

  • HT1920 how do i get all my music from my old e-mail account  to be on my new account?

    We moved, my e-mail address changed & I had to create a new itunes account because I could not open my old itunes account due to loss password. How do I get all my music from my old account to be uploaded onto my new account?

    You can't, all content is tied to the account that downloaded it, you can't transfer content between accounts nor merge accounts.
    If you can't remember the password for that account then have you tried getting it reset : http://iforgot.apple.com ?
    If that doesn't let you reset it then you can try contacting iTunes Support / Apple and see if they can reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    If you can get it reset you can then update the primary email address to another address (which can't be being used on another account), either via the Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes, or via http://appleid.apple.com

  • When creating a book how can I get all the photos from an album to show up in the order they were in the album?

    When creating a book in iphoto, how can I get all the photos from the album I want to use to show up in the order that they are in the album?  When I tried to use the option to add my own photos instead of having the program "flow" them, they showed up all mixed up.

    iPhoto puts them in the book in chronological order.  So to get your photos from an album into an iPhoto book in the same order you will need to use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option and set them all to the same date with a 1 minute time difference between each.
