How do I get my old iPhone info onto my new one?

The new iPhone is already activated as a new iPhone and I didn't want that!

Restore a backup to it that was made from your old phone.  easy.

  • How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot get the music off it.

    How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot access any of the old music. All I can find are what was on my iPhone, but that's not what I want. I need all my old music from my old Mac, which has been wiped clean by IT at my old job. BUT, I did have iCloud at that time and I thought all my music would be accessible through it. I don't understand the Cloud! And I'm thinking spending $24.99 on iTunes Match was a waste of money because I still can't access my old music.

    When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
    have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
    remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I had to do a re-install of Thunderbird after a crash. How do I get my old address book into my new one?

    I had to do a re-install of Thunderbird after a crash. How do I get my old address book into my new one? There are only a few of the contacts I had, so there must be a location where the rest are, but not sure where to look. And once I find them (with your help), how do I get them into the address book?

    If you copy abook.mab or history.mab into a profile folder, they will show up as Personal Address Book and Collected Addresses. But if the mab files have names other than abook or history, they can only be imported to TB with the use of [https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html MoreFunctionsForAddressBook].

  • HT201543 how do i get my old itune library onto my new laptop, my old laptop is broken but all media is on my phone. Most of the songs are from CD's which i no longer have. HELP!

    That is not necessarily true. You are allowed to make a back-up of media you own and, at least in the Netherlands, even a copy of a work you've borrowed from a library. The law expressly permits this and you pay a certain amount for recordable media to allow for home use.  See http://www.thuiskopie.nl/nl for this.  If you then decide to destroy the media, i.e. do not transfer the media to someone else, I don't see how you infringe copyright by keeping the back-up. But I guess some so-called creatives like the idea of making money in all kinds of hypothetical ways...
    It is a nice dream, where you have to work once and then earn a lot of money by selling millions of copies from your work. But buyers can make copies too!! Hahahahahaha!

  • How do I get my old SMS messages onto my new iphone?

    I upgraded to a new 4S. Restored from back up, but this didn't load the old SMS mssgs from the previous 3GS phone. Many of which were work related and probably worth keeping. How do I get these onto my new 4S?
    Thanks

    The only way to get them on your phone is to restore your new phone from the most recent backup of your old phone. Is that what you did?

  • Iphone apps .... how do I get my old 3GS apps onto my new iphone4?

    I am sure this has been asked many times before, but help me please because I just don't get it.
    My Iphone 3GS was synched to my macbook itunes but the hard drive in my notebook failed and had to be replaced. So now with my new iphone how do I get those apps which I paid for already? When I hook up my iphone to my macbook to sync the apps, it tells me that all the apps on my new phone (which I have already placed several apps) will be erased and synced to the 3 apps on my macbook in the itunes library.
    And when I go into my itunes account it lists all the apps that I have purchased, but they don't appear in the itunes app tab on my macbook, and so they won't sync. So someone in another post said to just download the app again and you won't be charged.... but I had a bad experience with that on my Ipad (downloaded an app right after I got the Ipad--> Ipad crashed (or maybe it was me) and had to restore the Ipad-> had to re-download the app and got charged for it again. Emailed apple and they said too bad but made a one time exception and credited my account. I am afraid that they will definitely not be willing to do this again).
    So exactly how does this work?.... I am afraid to try to sync my new phone because it will erase the apps I already loaded and won't re-install apps already purchased.

    By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you replaced your hard drive, your phone will see your computer as a "new" computer and all itunes content will first be deleted from your phone. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software:
    http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
    Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
    1. Disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes.
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in iCal & Address Book. The entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect your phone, itunes running, do not sync at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
    6. Right click(Control Click) in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    That's as good as it gets without a backup of your itunes library.

  • How do I get the old iphones information to my new iphone? i have tried to synk it but it doesn't work

    my other iphone didn't work, so i got a new one. before i got the new phone i saved all the information, and when you then put the new iphone into itunes it should be asking you "do you want to update this to eg. "david's iphone"?" but it didn't ask that. so now all the information are gone and the iphone is empty... what should i do now?

    Everything should be on your computer.  Just sync it to the iphone as you did with the other.

  • How do I get my old iPad apps onto a new laptop? iTunes says no.

  • HT1329 How can I get my old music library onto my new computer when my old laptop with all the library is broken?

    My old laptop had all my music library on it and I have no back up. I have gotten a new laptop (a PC not MAC) and really need my music onto my iphone, please help!!

    Depending on what the problem with the laptop is, you could take the hard drive out of the laptop and put it into an external hard drive caddy (laptops uasally use 2.5" drives). This should allow you to access all the files on the drive however if the hard drive is damaged you will have a harder time recovering the files.

  • My computer crashed...how do i get my old library transferred to a new one?

    i had a desktop computer (a dell with windows XP) that was 7 years old and crashed. it has to have windows reinstalled. this means i'm losing everything on my hard drive. can i transfer what's on my ipod directly to my new computer, which is a dell latitude D600 with windows XP? thanks!
    dell   Windows XP  

    Did the hard drive fail or did Windows crash? If it is not a hard drive problem then put old drive into new computer and tranfer files to new drive.
    After that leave the old drive on the machine and use it for backups.
    If the old drive actually failed then there are many programs available, some free some not, for doing what you need.

    I recently got a new iphone but when I restored it in iTunes one of my games that I have played for months RESET. How do I get my old game info back?

    If you made a backup before you restored it you can restore your iPhone from a backup and your game data should be restored.  When you connect your iPhone in iTunes you can right click on it in the sidebar and select restore from backup.
