How do I sync my iphone 4 contacts to my PC and then how do I recover those contacts for a new iphone?
I need to sync my iphone 4 contacts to my PC so I can access those contacts for a new iphone from another wireless carrier. I have searched for instructions but have not found any that correctly lead me through the process of syncing and recovering. Thanks for your advice.

i made a backup for my old iphone 4 on my computer and now i want to restore my data to my new iphone 5 but i forgot the backup password. what should i do?
you can't recover iOS crypted backup password, for security purposes. your backup is useless. sorry.
if you still have your old iPhone, make a new back-up -
My iphone was returned to me and its disabled because I reported it stolen months ago. Will Genius Bar enable it so I can sell it on eBay seeing as I already got a new one?? I don't have a computer to connect to iTunes. Will they charge me?
Genius bar appointments are free. To remove the passcode on a disabled iPhone requires forcing the phone into recovery mode & restoring it, using iTunes on a computer. Whether the genius bart will do this for you is a good question. I suspect if you can prove the phone is yours, there shouldn't be any issues. Only one way to find out, & that's to make an appointment.
Good luck. -

I need instructions on the above subject. I want to send, transfer, download from my PC to someone else web page. I have no clue right now
Although my question has not yet been answered, I have since discovered that I asked on too specific of a forum. I have re-posted it on the general iPod forum and will shortly be marking this thread as answered to avoid confusion.

I have my contacts synced with icloud and exchange. I want all of them to be synced via icloud, I have tried turning contacts off and then clicking merge but that doesn't copy all of them over. How do I transfer all contacts onto my phone and then icloud?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you can't do this on a computer, which would be much easier using drag and drop, then you will need to share the contacts with yourself in order to move them to the iCloud account. -
How do we split our iCloud accounts but keep one iTunes account so we can share purchased content for our multiple iPhones and iPads?
You can migrate a copy of the data to a new account, then delete the other person's data from each account. To do this, on the phone that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that you want to keep on the phone, save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. If you have any synced notes that you want to keep on the phone, email these to yourself so you can create new notes in the new account.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account. You will create a new icloud email address with you turn Mail to On.
Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa). -
I tried getting the update for my new iphone and now it is asking me to activate it again but won't let me, how do I fix this? I had started using it for a few hours and tried getting the update and now it won't let me activate the phone. I also can't call the helpline because it won't let me leave this screen on the phone that says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes." What it says on iTunes after I fill out the activation info is "There was a problem activating your iPhone. Please contact Verizon Wireless at 1-800-922-0204 to have this iPhone added to your account. Click Continue to be able to explore its features and the App Store." Please help this is driving me nuts!

I bought my iPhone 4s in the Uk and then brought to Cyprus where I live. I used Siri to call my husband 2 days ago without problem but now when I try to use Siri it won't call any local Cypriot number but will call my Uk contacts. I can call the same numbers manually so it's not my network. Any help would be appreciated.
This sounds like an international issue? Although I can not see why? I brought my phone in Australia and operating it in Indonesia, I have the same issues.... Otherwise Siri works fine, even texting (SMS) to local numbers siri works well, but dialing local number it just wont work...! I will try using my Australian SIM card and see if that is the reason.. I tried changing the number in the contacts and took out the international prefix, I turned the international assist on and off still nothing.. How frustrating. I called apple, the technican had know idea and we to his supervisor, had to wait fro 40 miuntes and then I hung up..
PLEASE HELP..! -
My iPhone 5c has a broken screen and won't let me swipe. I got a new iPhone 5c, but want my stuff to back up onto it. I haven't backed up my old one in over a year because there's not enough storage. How would I back up on iCloud to a Dell or Toshiba computer?
Hi Linda Loo Loo,
If you have backed up previously to iTunes on a specific computer, even if it has been a while, you may be able to still backup even if you are unable enter the passcode on your iPhone due to a damaged screen. You may find the following article helpful:
If you have previously synced your device with iTunes, you may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device:
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
When the backup and sync is complete, restore your device.
When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your device, choose "Restore from iTunes backup".
Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup of your device.

okay. when i connected my iphone 5 to itunes it replaced all of the data from my old iphone 3gs (contacts, apps, notes, bookmarks,photos, music, everything you can possibly think of) with my new iphone 5's data. I am so frustrated with this. Why? and it did it by itself, i didnt touch anything, or clicked anything. please help me this is urgent! I am a businessman and need my contacts.
You're iPhone was probably set to automatically sync with your iTunes upon plugging it in. Best option is to restore from a backup, either on iCloud or your computer.

My laptop and my iPhone both crashed I have lost all my contacts music and pictures is there anyway of getting any of it back for my new iPhone 4S
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to backup, tehn you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Everything else is gone, if you have failed to backup or sync it to icloud or some other cloud service. -
I purchased a movie on the AppleTV 2 but it is not showing up in iTunes on my desktop computer. How can I sync? (have lastest version of iTunes and ATV2 software)
Of course it always works, what are you talking about.
I appreciate that re-downloading is only available in the US and then only with certain content. However content that cannot be re-downloaded is not offered for purchase on the Apple TV. -

You created a new AppleID?
Why not simply update your old AppleID so you have only one iTunes account?
