How do I merge the backup from my old iPhone 4 with my new iPhone 5?

I recently upgraded my iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5. I had been backing up the 4 to a macbook that was running OS 10.5.x and the 5 was not compatible so I started a backup of the 4 onto iCloud. I now have a backup of the 4 and a backup of the 5. Is there a way to combine the two so that I retain the old contact info and not lose any new info?

I am afraid not. When you restore from a backup, all of that data is placed on your phone, overriding any data previously on the phone.

  • How do I get the songs from my old Mac to my new one sans iCloud?

    I recently purchased a new MacBook Air and I need to know how to get the songs off of my 2007 MacBook onto my new one without use the iCloud.

    From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    Full Details Here  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

  • I need to find out how to transfer all the music from my old IPOD to my new IPOD.  Not all of my music was purchased on ITUNES.

    I need to find out how to transfer all my music from my original IPOD nano to my new IPOD nano.   I want to keep both and not all of my music was purchased on ITUNES.  Please help!

    Your music should be in your iTunes library, that is how it gets synced to the iPod. If that music is not present in the iTunes library, you will need to get a 3rd party software for the computer to get the music off the original iPod and then move it to the iTunes library to be able to sync it to the new iPod. You can see some additional information in this tip supplied by a fellow user. Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

  • How can I use the speakers from my old iMac (with miniRCA? plug) on a new iMac

    How can I use the speakers (M-Audio) from my old 24" iMac on a new 27" iMac?  There is no jack on the new iMac - is there an adapter that will use the mini-RCA (?) plug from my old speakers to connect them to a new iMac?  Thanks ...

    Thanks again!
    Hmmm ... I wonder.  The input jack for external speakers quit working on my old iMac (it made lotsa static noise for a while when I moved the plug or computer, then quit working completely; I figure something inside the computer got loose or crapped out - and I'm too cheap/lazy to take it the 20 miles to the nearest shop that might fix it).  When I plug the speakers into the headphone jack on the old iMac, I get very low volume or just one channel.
    I don't have the new iMac yet, but I was hoping to use these old speakers instead of buying new ones.  I will certainly try your solution - what do I have to lose?  If they don't work, then I get new ones - or try something else.
    Many thanks for your time!

    Since the songs are in your itunes you can just create a playlist that matches whats on your nano. Then sync the 30gb to that playlist.

  • How-to move time machine backup from an old Time Capsule to a new one?

    As written on the title, I need to move my old backup from an old 500GB to a new dual-band 2TB Time capsule, but I have not found any hint.
    I've found many suggestions how to move the backups between externa HD; from external HD to a Time Capsule; between Time Capsule and external HD.
    But nothing about my needs.
    Someone can give me an how-to or at least some hint?
    Many thanks to every one!!!

    I was able to do that by using the Finder to copy the "sparsebundle" files from the old Time Capsule to temporary storage, replacing the Time Capsule, then copying the "sparsebundle" files from the temporary storage area to the new Time Capsule. If your temporary storage is limited and you have more than one "sparsebundle" file to migrate, you can copy one at a time.
    AirPort Utility also has an "Archive" function that you could use instead of a Finder copy.
    I believe I saw recently a method of copying directly from one Time Capsule to another, although I can't find it at the moment. If that option makes sense for you, I'll look further.

  • Can some please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates?  I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my Mac

    Can someone please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates?  I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my new Mac.  I ended up getting a bunch of duplicates. My old Mac has an older version of iPhoto while the new Mac has iPhoto '11.  Is that the cause of the problem?  Please advise.  Thanks.

    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

  • How can i take the pictures from my old ipod and transfer them onto my computer without deleting anything

    How can I take the pics from my old ipod and transfer them onto my computer without deleting anything?

    Pictures on an iPod are stored in a special format, optimized for the iPod's small lower resolution screen, to save storage space.  iTunes puts them into that format when syncing.  There is setting in iTunes, on the iPod's Photos screen (where you set up syncing of photos) for Include full resolution photos.  If that checkbox was checked when you synced the photos to the iPod, THEN you can Enable disk use and find those photo files on the iPod in the Photos folder. 
    Otherwise, you cannot get your photos back, using iTunes.  There may be third-party utilities that can extract individual photos from the iPod, but they will still be lower-resolution versions of the original photo.

  • In my icloud account on my iphone I have three ios devices. How do I manage the backup of my old phone ? I dont want to detete that backup completetly, just manage that phone back up ? Please help!

    In my icloud account on my iphone I have three ios devices. How do I manage the backup of my old phone ? I dont want to detete that backup completetly, just manage that phone back up ? Please help!

    It will be backed up on your computer and can later be restored to an iOS device using iTunes, if desired.  Of course, if your hard drive crashes you'll lose it if it isn't backed up somewhere else.  If you want to included it in your computer backup, it will be located at one of the following locations:
    Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
    Windows XP: %AppData%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows Vista: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows 7: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

    My old computer has broken and I had not backed up my Itunes. I now have the hard drive from my old computer (windows 7) but cannot transfer the music. How can I transfer the music from my old hard drive to the new laptop (windows 8)?

    Copy the entire iTunes folder from \Users\<User>\Music on the old drive into your music folder on the new computer.
    Or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
