How do I synchronise from iCloud onto new phone

Got a new iPhone 4S today I'd downloaded every thing to I cloud but now can't get it all on to my new phone. Can't get onto my emails and all photos lost help

If you upgraded from an older phone, restore the new phone to the backup of your old phone in order to transfer you data, settings, camera roll photos and videos, music, apps and other media to the new phone. If you are only trying to access the data you are syncing with iCloud, rather than restoring all your settings, etc., just go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your iCloud ID, then turn on the data you wish to sync with iCloud (Mail, Calendars, Contacts, etc.). When you enable photo stream you will receive photos added in the last 30 days.

Hi, today I upgraded my iphone 4 to an iphone 5. I backed up and synced my data on itunes and icloud. My new iphone however reverted to my 2011 phone settings. how do i get yesterday's settings back and get my contacts and photos from icloud onto new phon

Just to give you a bit more detail. I upgraded my iphone 4 to an iphone 5 today. Last night I backed up and synced all my messages, photos and contacts on itunes and icloud. When I connected the new iphone 5 to itunes today, it somehow reverted back to my old phone settings from 2011 :S So now, I have apps, particularly games, that are incomplete. My contacts have numbers that are out of date and I have none of the photos that were taken in the past year. My 2012 messages are gone and old messages from 2011 are there. Now, all my phone data had been regularly stored and synced with itunes and icloud. So why did it revert back to 2011 phone settings and how can I get it to change to the settings that existed last night? Also all my information on icloud, how do I get that onto my new iphone? If I go on www.icloud.com and sign in, all my photos, contacts, mail and messages are there, but I have no idea how to transfer that to my new iphone 5. Any help on all of these issues would be appreciated, thanks.

In Regards to this, You possibly wont be able to get the contacts from the iPhone 4 unless there is a back up file on your computer.
The original phone would be disabled due to alot of attempts of the wrong passcode. If all your contacts are on the cloud at the moment, you would be able to just set the iPhone 4S up with iCloud on it then Turn On "Contacts".
This would be bring all the contacts down from your iCloud onto your 4S.
But you will only be able to merge your contacts with the cloud when your original iPhone either has been enabled or the passcode was entered.
If you have previously already had iCloud on that device and have contacts Turned on, you will be able to just enter the same Apple ID you used for iCLoud on your original phone and use it on your new one.
Your able to check what content your iCloud holds via www.icloud.com
If you are unable to get past the disabled screen, then unfortunately the device will have to be put into recovery mode and then restored via iTunes NOTE: This will delete all data.

HT201269 how do i restore from iCloud on new phone?

I have a new 4s that I got from the AT&T store.
They got me up and running by getting my contacts downloaded.
Now I've hooked up to iPhone to restore from iCloud.
Do I want to restore or do I want to back up?
I can't figure out how to get my music to migrate to my new phone.
I have backed up my old phone to the cloud.
I don't seem to be getting the automatic prompts all the articles talk about and I think it's because at the store they only did contacts.

If you backup with iTunes and you restored from the backup and the data are gone, then there is no where to retrieve them from unless you have another backup that contains those data.
Launch iTunes on the computer and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. You will see a window with all of your backups listed in it.
If you see a recent backup that you are certain contains the data that you need, recover deleted data from iPhone backup.
If your note is gone from iCloud.com there is only a few ways to possibly recover it.
The first things I would check is a iCloud Backup, a iTunes Backup, or a 3rd party email that may have contained the note. To restore from a iCloud or iTunes backup follow this link. This article explains how to restore a device from either back up.
Note if you have backed up since the note went missing, you will not have the note on the backup. Make sure you do not back up if trying to restore from a back up as this will back up the content without the note.
To get to the "Set up assistant" on an iOS device, you must go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Once the phone restarts, you will be at the "Set up Assistant"

How to get notes from icloud to new iphone.

All my old iphone 4S 'notes' are stored in icloud. When I synced up my new iphone 5 it did not transfer the last ten months of notes onto the phone, just everything prior to that. So I'm nervous if I back up the notes I've made since, it may overwrite what is already on icloud. Can anyone give me advice on how to transfer the rest of my notes from icloud onto my iphone 5, or how to get them all together again?

On your phone. If you have Notes turned to On in Settings>iCloud, and also had notes on the phone prior to turning on this setting, you should have two accounts in the notes app: On My iPhone and iCloud (listed as your iCloud ID).
Did you have notes on your phone prior to turn on Notes in Settings>iCloud? Is Notes turned to On in Settings>iCloud now?

Why is it taking so long to download iCloud onto new phone

Why is it taking so long to download my iCloud onto new phone

What does download iCloud mean? You don't download iCloud. You download the content that is in your iCloud backup to your phone. If you have a great deal of content in the backup, it can take a good bit of time.
Define "so long". That doesn't mean anything to anybody here. It's a relative term and we have no idea how much time "so long" is to you.

Windows computer hard drive failed, data lost and not backed up. all music and pictures on ipod, much music from cd's entered into itunes years ago. How do I retrieve from ipod onto new computer hard drive?

windows computer hard drive failed; data lost. have new blank hard drive. Can I load ipod music and photos back onto new hard drive?

Hi Perilman,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that all of your iTunes media is on an external hard drive and you would like to move that media onto your new Windows computer hard drive. The following article has step by step instructions for this specifically. Part 5 in the External drive section is probably what is going to be most relevant to you.

You just need to setup your phone as new at first and upgrade ios to latest for that phone. once upgraded and it will take about an hour, you can erase phone and then restore from icloud backup.

Contacts from laptop onto new phone.

Hi,
Im new to all this and not very good with mobile phones! I had my n95 8g solen and have now got a new n86. I backed up my files from the n95 before it was stolen and was wondering if and how i could transfer my contacts from my laptop to my new phone as it seems to use a different PC suite, i dont really understand this ovi pc suite.
Thanks in advance

It's a bit like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted (sorry) but I also use my Ovi account to backup, sync and restore my contacts, calender and notes OTA. Just to have a safety net, if you have an account you can get it to send the settings to your phone via txt and then set up a sync (I used it tonight, All my notes had gone, due to a reset and I needed a password)
I use two methods of backup, because in the past I have managed to 'kill' both laptops and phones
Good Luck

How to get music from ipod onto new computer?

my old computer crashed and i got a new computer and now i don't know how to get my songs from my ipod onto my new computer. having alot of problems please help!

All of your media that you bought from iTunes you can restore by plugging in the iPod and then right clicking on the iPod icon in the iTunes side bar and select "Transfer Purchases from (name of your iPod)"
For songs/movies you ripped yourself:
If you are on a Mac, look up DeTune... Or Senuti...
there are other compatible things for other OSes but you will have to search for them

How long to download info from icloud to new phone

Anyone have information on how long it could take to download information to a new iPhone from the iCloud. It has been an hour already. I am concerned I will be stuck between two phones with no phone tomorrow.

Back Up from original iPhone to Computer.. Then deactive original iPhone.
Connect & Activate new iPhone, then use the back up from your computer..
That's how I did mine to-day..Some Apps will not work.. Some will need downloading again..

How to sync music from iPhone onto new computer

I had my iPhone synced to my old computer. I connected it to my new computer and it won't allow me to put any of my old music onto iTunes without deleting it all first. How can I keep my old music and put it onto my new iTunes?

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

How do I get my music back from iCloud onto my phone?

I'm not sure what I did but I beleive that most of my music is in iCloud but when the songs show up on my phone they are all in light gray letters. They also won't play when I want to go through my playlist. Only the ones in bold black letters will play. Help!

there are a number of ways that this happens.
one way depends on how you add music to your phone.
if you restored you phone from a backup recently
what i would first try to do is connecting my phone to my computer, remove all the music, and then put it back on. depending on how much music you have that might take 20 min
let me know what questions you have and i'll help you troubleshoot.
