How do I get contacts off my old, deactivated iPhone?

My wife and I both had iPhone 4s, both using a common Apple ID.  We both got new iPhone 5Ss, and when I set her new phone up, I got her a unique Apple ID.  Thus her contacts did not transfer over as she is now a unique Apple ID entity.
However, the contacts are still on the old phone.
I'd like to know of a way to get her contacts from the old phone into her new phone (and not have to reenter each contact)?

Back the old phone up to iTunes and then restore from the iTunes backup on the new phone. Then go in, sign out of your Apple ID in Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and select "Keep on my iPhone". Then sign in with her Apple ID and select "Merge" when you turn on contacts.

    I have a 32 gb ipad air but need to get the songs I have stored in iTunes on my old iMac onto the ipad air or stored somewhere else. I have over 10000 songs on there which is 30.47 gb. far too much to put on my ipad air. How do I get them off my old iMac which has no internet connection ? And where do I put them. Any help would be appreciated

    No I don't have another computer. I was thinking initially I would put them on my ipad but since I don't have enough gb maybe I can store them in some cloud thing? Sorry am a bit of a Luddite when it comes to all this. I just need to have them stored someplace and accessible to play when I need to. Thanks for your help.

  • How do I get pictures off my Old de-active device?

    How do I get pictures off my old de active device.  The device still works I just upgraded and now would like my pictures put on my PC.

    If the device has an SD card (micro SD) then you can save the pics to that and transfer to your PC.  If there is no SD option,  you can reactivate the device, text the pics to your email individually, then reactivate the new phone.
    Or you can try BitPim - it may work on your old device, just google for it.

  • How do i get music off an old ipod

    How do i get music off an old ipod classic into my windows 8 system when it doesn't find the ipod when i plug it into the usb?

    Hi aekdbaker ,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you have music on your iPod that you would like to transfer into your iTunes library on your Mac.
    If those songs you wish to transfer were purchased, there are two different ways you can accomplish this. The first way, which does not even require you connecting your iPod to the computer, would be to re-download them from iTunes in the Cloud directly to your iTunes library. Directly connecting your iPod to your Mac to transfer purchases is an option as well. Instructions for both methods of gathering your past purchases in your iTunes library on your Mac are available in the attached article.

    To troubleshoot your iPod not being seen in iTunes, please use the troubleshooting steps outlined in the next attached article.

  • How do I move contacts from my old non-iPhone?

    I have a Motorola Bravo and just got an iPhone 5 from ATT.
    How can I get my contacts from the Bravo to the iPhone?  I've already copied the contacts to the SIM.
    ATT support shows that's the first step.
    However, under the "Copy To" portion, all it mentions is how to get the contacts to the phone from iCloud or iTunes.
    But, how the heck do I get them to Cloud or Tunes in the first place?

    Perhaps the fastest and simplest way would be to just take both devices to the nearest AT&T corp. store and get them to do it.  Then you can sync the iPhone with Contacts on your Mac (or outlook on your PC) or with iCloud to back them up for safekeeping.

  • How can you get pictures off a broken locked iPhone 5

    my husband broke the screen in his phone and let it die. Now we cannot get it unlocked to get the pictures off. Is there anyway to get them off??

    Unfortunately, no. The only slim chance is if you connect it to the computer that you normally sync with. If it is a trusted computer, at times, it will allow the import. Generally, it will stop and ask for the passcode. If that is the case, then you will not be able to recover them if you do not have them imported or backed up already in iTunes and/or iCloud.

  • How do I get contacts to activate on my iPhone?

    I have changed settings on both my iPhone and iMac to enable syncing of contacts. But when I enter a change on my iMac, it doesn't transfer to the iPhone. I made this change 12 hours ago. Still nothing on my iPhone.

    I found an answer after searching high and wide...somehow I went to iCloud.com(which Inever heard of while adding iCloud to my devices!).
    Found this info:
    Quit and restart the Contacts app on your iOS device
    Press the Home button.
    Double-press the Home button to open the Multitasking menu.
    Tap and hold the Contacts icon until it jiggles.
    Tap the "X" to remove it from the list.
    Press the Home button to get back to your Home screen. Wait a minute before reopening the Contacts app.
    It worked. So, if those instructions are decipherable, you might get Contacts to sync. I hope so, since it worked for me!

  • How can I get information off my old hard drive?

    Recently my old mac book died. The genius bar said that it would be 750$ for repairs and since it had been 5 years since I'd gotten the laptop, I opted to buy a new MacBook Pro. The problem is I have stuff on my old hard drive that I want to keep (mostly the pictures from my iphoto), so the genius bar took the hard drive out for me. So now I have the hard drive from my old laptop and I'm not sure how I get the information off of it.
    I tried to look it up online and saw something about a hard drive caddy? I have no idea what these are/ how they work. Do you just put the hard drive inside of it and connect it with a usb chord? Are all of these compatible with the macbook hard drives and will it work with my new macbook pro?
    Or could/should I just go to best buy or something to see if they could put it on a CD for me?
    What are my options/how can I go about getting the information from the old hard drive onto my new laptop?
    Thanks!

    You want to buy an enclosure that will accept a 2.5" IDE hard drive(I think that is what your computer probably had). Once you put the old hard drive into the enclosure, just connect it to your new computer using USB or Firewire(if the enclosure has Firewire ports) and copy your stuff over.
    Now is a GOOD time for you to buy another external hard drive and back up your new computer to it often. This will save you the trouble of recovering your information in the future. It is always recommended that you back up your important files to several places.

  • How do I get music off an old iPod and put it on a new iPhone?

    I have an older model iPod that was synced to my computer back in 2007. Obviously that computer is LONG gone. What I'd like to do now is transfer all the music off the iPod to my new iPhone but I can't figure out how. I downloaded iTunes and plugged in my iPod and iPhone but it hasn't seemed to help.
    How do I do this?

    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • How do I get contacts from ipad to my iphone ?

    I synced my iphone to Imac, trying to access cloud.  All contacts deleted but still appear on my ipad.  Help much appreciated.   thanks.

    First, always make sure that you are dealing with the same account on all devices. Then just turn contacts on in settings,iCloud..  You can always log into iCloud.com from a computer to see what is being synced there.

    when you got the new phone it set up a new backup.
    if you go into...
    preferences>devices
    you will see a list of the device backups on your computer.
    to have itunes restore all the old stuff that was on your old phone right click on the iphone on the itunes screen. select..
    restore from backup
    select the one from your old phone and presto

    Hello yogawithlezie,
    Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities.
    You will need to first move your music from your iPod to your computer and then sync to the new iPod.
