How do I to transfer my old  phone list from iphone 3gs to my new iphone 4s

That's my question

You should have the option to sync contacts from your backup in iTunes when you plug the 4S into the computer.

  • How do I stop my contacts old phone number from appearing when starting a new text message

    I changed one of my contacts phone number, but when I start a new text message their old phone number appears along with their new number. I have checked my contact information and only their new number is in there.

    No fix for that yet, take a look at this link, https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4363225?start=0&tstart=0

  • Transfer my old phone number (from Vonage) to my n...

    Disgruntled with the sound quality of Vonage, I revitalized my old Skype account and set it up with a FreeTalk (which, by the way, works great straight out of the box).
    My old phone number is still with Vonage collecting dust, but it it the one listed in all kinds of phone books and friends telephone notepads, so it would have value to me if I can retrieve this and link to my Freetalk account.
    Problem:  Vonage does not list a phone number where I can talk to someone to get my old number back (which they retrieved from Verizon).  Skype does not list a phone number to  assist me in this.  Go figure, the people who make money on selling phone talk don't want to talk over the phone themselves.
    Does anybody have suggestions on how to handle this?

    Hi, dandurham, and welcome to the Community,
    Unfortunately, I have sad news: as Skype does not support number portability, this is not possible.
    Kind regards,
    Elaine

  • HT5538 How do I completely remove my old phone number from iMessage?

    I haven't had service on my iPhone for over a year now, but a couple days ago I got a text through iMessage from someone thinking I am their friend "Mark". They're texting my old phone number and it is going to their friend Mark's phone (as he now has my old number) but some of them also go to me.
    I've tried going to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and the phone number is disabled (greyed out). I can uncheck the emails linked to my account but I am unable to uncheck the phone number.
    Here's a screenshot (number blocked to protect the privacy of the person that now has it):
    I tried following the instructions under "How to unlink a phone number" in this Apple support article but the phone number still didn't go away from the iMessage "Send & Receive" list even after I signed out of my Apple ID.
    This seems like a bug because why in the world would texts normally still come to my phone sometimes (via iMessage) when someone texts my old phone number if I haven't even paid in over a year.
    BTW, when I had service, my carrier was AT&T.

    1. Get hold of your old iPhone and switch iMessage off in Settings > Messages
    2. Un-register your old device: https://supportprofile.apple.com
    3. Change your current Apple ID password.
    4. Switch OFF your iMessage and switch back ON after a few minutes.

  • How can I permanently delete an old phone number from my 'receive iMessage from' list?

    I have just got a new contract and iPhone. I wanted to get rid of my old number because of people hassling me on it. However I can still receive iMessages through my old number even though I have a brand new phone and SIM card! I have de-selected it on the 'receive from' list, but I want to permanently delete the number for a fresh start. I have logged into my icloud account on apple but as I didn't actually register the previous device with apple there seems to be no option to remove it. can anyone help? Why can I not just swipe and delete this number!!! Ridiculous! So much for a fresh start   just turning the option off isn't the same.

    See Apple Support article TS5185. Note that although the problem that article concerns doesn't apply to you, the solution it describes does.

  • How do I permanently transfer photos, video & TV shows from iphone 5 to ipad air?

    My 16gb iphone 5 iOS 7.1 is advising my storage is almost full. I've just purchased a 32gb Ipad air wifi iOS 7.1 and would like to permanently transfer my photos & video and downloaded tv shows from the iphone to the ipad, then delete said photos, video and tv shows off my iphone without it then deleting off my ipad.  Can this be done?  By what method?
    In regards to the photos, I started doing the transfer via the shared stream option but realised if I then deleted off my iphone it would delete off my other devices i.e. ipad, as well.  In regards to the TV shows I've managed to sync the iphone and ipad so that both devices are displaying all TV shows - I think I did this through itunes? - but I'm hesitant to now delete off my iphone before confirming they'll stay on the ipad.
    Apologies for the convoluted questioning...I've tried researching this myself but just can't seem to get my head around it. 
    Thanks very much in advance

    use icloud to sync the images to and delete them locally
    or import them to the computer and sync them with the other device
    and delete them after you import them on the device where you don't want them

  • HT4859 I have 2 phones saved on iCloud, one is old phone and other is new. How do I restore my old phone data from iCloud to my new one?

    I have 2 phones saved on iCloud storage, one is old phone and other is my new one. How do I restore my old phone data from iCloud storage to my new one?
    It shows like 4.3GB is stored on my old and 105.9MB on my new. I want to restore the 4.3 to my new, how do I do that please?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You will need to restore your phone and when prompted use the backup that you made yesterday.
    Before you do so, you may wish to change your wife's iCloud login details, otherwise you may find that you then overwrite her data. She should have her own iCloud account to avoid this.

  • HT1296 How do I back up the calendar and contacts from my iPhone5 to my new macbook pro(10.8.3)? I have backed up the phone, but it does not transfer the calendar or the contacts. If I check them in the sync area and the back up the phone again...

    How do I back up the calendar and contacts from my iPhone5 to my new macbook pro(10.8.3)? I have backed up the phone, but it does not transfer the calendar or the contacts. If I check them in the sync area and then back up the phone again will they transfer or be erased? I am a bit gun shy since my previous macbook pro committed suicide and I lost a ton of info there.

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer.

  • I recently upgraded to a new iPhone.  Everything transferred except my photos.  Can I retrieve my photos from iCloud and transfer them to my new phone?  My old phone has already been transferred to a new user.

    Did you restore your iCloud backup?  That should recover camera roll photos.

  • I did not sync music properly to computer from iphone3.  have new iphone4.  how can i get music off old phone onto new one.  new phone all set up.  help

    I did not sync my iphone3 music to my computer.  Thought I did it properly but did not.  New at this stuff.  Now my IT person installed and configured my new iphone4 and my music is on old phone.  Anyway to get it to new phone.  Help.:)

    Set up your new phone as if it were the old one. Settings, mail, mobile me, same email same password that you used on old phone. You can still sync the old phone to iTunes library. You may have to click on picture of phone on the left & click on back up iPhone.  You'll see songs, contacts & calendar downloading in apple slot at the top. When done connect new phone. Authorize computer put in apple ID when that screen comes up & that should allow both phones to share the library. If you use the same ID the same information will be on both phones.

  • Getting phone book off of old phone and into iphone

    How do you transfer the old phone book off of the nokia I had to the I phone and yes I have it downloaded onto a drive but the web site that att gave me to download cellebriteusa content manager file doesn't work and I am on a g4

    In general, you need to transfer the phone book from your phone to your PC in some sort of standard format, like a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file. You can then import it into iCal or Outlook.
    Many applications give you the choice to "Save As" or "Export". If the application you use to extract the phone book from your Nokia has one of these, you can use it to create a file in a format that iCal or Outlook will like. From there, iTunes will sync them over to your iPhone.

  • How do i transfer all my ipod songs from my ipod to my new computer?

    how do i transfer all my ipod songs from my ipod to my new computer?
    i stil have my old computer. but i have 500 songs. so i dont want to burn them onto cds then upload them. is there a way to transfer the songs from the ipod to my new computer?
    dell demension 9100   Windows XP  

    Hey, I had the exact same issue. The way that Apple explains to do it is change your iPod into hardrive mode by messing with the preferences. While your iPod is hooked up to your old compuer, go into preferences and check the box saying enable disk use. Then your iPod will appear on the desktop and you can drag the song files into it. I don't know if you can transfer them all at once or not. Anyway, then you hook up the iPod into the new computer and drag the songs into iTunes. I had trouble doing this and it erased all my songs one time but I think it was an error on my part. Another way to do it is to send the song files through AIM. Have someone on the old computer and you on the new one and send them in large bunches to the new computer. Yet another way is to e-mail them to yourself and download them on to the new computer. The sure-fire way (and the way I finally succumbed to but it worked!) is to download the program iPodCopy on the new computer and follow the instructions to have your music quickly and easily copied. It does cost $17.00 dollars to download but I was willing to pay the price to have my music transferred hassle-free. Just type iPodCopy into google and it should come up. After months of trying and searching how to transfer my music to the new computer, this was my last resort and it was well worth it!
    I hope my suggestions help you out in your iPod escapades!
    Let me know if they work. Buenas Suerte.

  • Transfer phone numbers from iphone 3gs to iphone 4s?

    How can I transfer phone numbers from iphone 3gs to iphone 4s?

    I recently upgraded from 3GS to 4S
    I used mobile me for yers so i trustef this would work -
    Ensure that everything is uptodate on the 3GS
    sign in to icloud in the settings on the 3GS and ensure you are syncing contacts (calendars etc also but as you are only querying phone numbers you only seem interested in contacts)
    use the same Apple ID on the 4s when you initially turn it on to set it up (this is what i did, icloud downloaded everything including my settings and what apps were in which folders and where)
    If your 4s is already set up ensure the same apple id is used in the icloud settings.
    Or you could go back to the pc and sync the 3gs one last time, then when setting up the 4s and it asks whether you want to set it up as a new phone or from a back up choose backup from itunes and then plug it in and select the 3gs backup from itunes to install

  • As a new iPad user how do I transfer my email contacts list from my PCM to my ipad

    How do I transfer my email contacts list from a laptop to my iPad?

    Hi - Thanks for your response.  I have tried to find the answer in the manual, but cannot locate the exact solution.
    Do I have to sync with iTunes? Does the iPhone just learn the addresses as I use it for email?  I'm confused because the "My Contacts" list that was transferred using VZ Contact Transfer is for cell phone numbers, not email addresses. But on my MacBook Pro I have "Address Book" with email addresses - that's what I want to transfer.  I'm a beginner with the iPhone - had a little basic flip-top LG for years. What a difference!!

  • How can I remove my very old Apple ID from my Iphone 4S as I have created other apple IDs.The old one is still staying on my mobile but that email doesn't exist anymore. I cant rest my mobile as this email address is staying my icloud setting.

    Q:-
    How can I remove my very old Apple ID from my Iphone 4S. The old ID is still staying on my mobile but that email doesn't exist anymore. I cant rest my mobile as everytime i tried it asks ID password which I don't remember.

    Hello mushysun,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you did not sign out of your Apple ID on your iPhone before creating a new one, then you will need to sign back in with your previous Apple ID and then sign out.  If you do not remember your password and do not have access to the email account, then you can reset your password by using the security questions.
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    Have a great weekend,
    Alex H.
