How do i transfer my iphone 5 data to my new 6 when OS sw is diiferent?

Im trying to move my back up data over from cloud from my 5 to my new 6 and it wouldn't allow me do to different sw.. help

If the 5 has a higher version than the 6, you need to set up the 6 as new, update to the latest level, do an Erase Contents & Settings, then Restore from the backup. You will find that restoring will be much more complete and will occur much faster if you redo the 5's backup using iTunes on a computer (Mac preferred), storing it on the local drive instead of the iCloud. Make sure it has a password (encrypted) and everything will get passed over. Of course, this assumes you still have the 5 on hand.

    Did you choose the wrong back up? There should be a drop box when you go to "Restore from Back up" in iTunes and your iPhone is plugged in, on the Summary page. Choose the correct back up. If you can't find one, and you still have your device, back up your iPhone 4 again and then choose that back up. Or check for an old iCloud back up if you have one.

  • How do I transfer my iPhone contact info to a new computer?

    I bought an iPhone the first day they came out over a year ago online, but when it arrived by mail I found I couldn't sync it with my laptop computer because I was running 10.3.9, which didn't support iPhone. In order to activate my iPhone I had to go to a friend's house & use his computer, & I've been using it ever since to update my phone. Well, I finally bought a new computer & it's running MAC OSX 10.5.3, which is able to support my iPhone, so I don't have to use his computer anymore. How can I sync my iPhone with my new computer without losing my contacts? I don't care about my pictures, music, or videos, I just DON'T want to lose my contacts & email addresses, is there a way to transfer them from one computer to another? Somebody help me please

    Download Phoneview from http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/
    Attach your iPhone, click on Contacts on the left, select a contact then select all and choose "Copy from" on the top and it will save all your contacts, complete, to a .vcf file, save it as contacts.vcf - or whatever.
    When done you can double click the file and it will launch address book and give you the option to import and/or update. You can then sync with address book and your iPhone will be up-to-date :0)
    I create a new list each time I add contacts etc just in case
    HTH?

  • Hard drive crashed. how do I transfer from iphone 3gs to itunes on new computer?

    My hard drive crashed.  I installed iTunes on my new computer.  How do I transfer my information on iphone 3gs onto the new iTunes?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone.  Without syncing :  File>Transfer Purchases   Authorize your computer for your itunes account first.
    If you sync to a blank computer, then your contacts and calendars will be erased as well.  Another reason to always maintain a backup.
    Enter one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer.  When you first sync you should get the option to merge the data.

  • How do I transfer my mac mini data to a new mac mini?

    I used Migration Assistant to transfer my data from my old Mac Mini to my new Mac Mini. Now when I turn on my new Mac Mini it shows a login screen with my old mac and my new one.  If I login to my old one everything is there, however it still looks like the old Mac.  If I login to my new mac there's nothing there from the transfer.  It's like having my old Mac Mini and the new one all in the same computer. How do I get everything from the old Mac to the new one?

    That's because you used Migration Assistant after you setup your new MacMini. The trick is to use Setup Assistant when you setup your new MacMini.
    You can't use Migration Assistant to migrate data to an existing User Account. It Migrate your old User Account.
    Your options now:
    1.Delete the 1st new User Account that you created when first starting the new MacMini. You would do that while signed into the older User Account. Job done.
    2. Erase the drive and reinstall OS X, and when prompted use, Setup Assistant. This would take a lot of time, and you would wind up with the same configuration as option 1.

  • How do I transfer my boot disc data to a new disc and have the new disc become the boot disc?

    My original 500 Gb boot drive is full (~800 Mb available).  I purchased a 1 Tb drive and installed it (no problems).  Now I want to transfer everything on my original boot disc to the new drive and have the new drive become the boot disc.  I would then wipe the original disc and use it for data backup.
    Can I simply copy all the contents of the original disc to the new disc (this seems too easy...)?  I am in that process, now, but am feeling insecure about it.  I do have Time Capsule.  However, when I went into it to restore to the new disc it wouldn't perform the task - maybe I am overlooking something...
    Suggestions are welcome!
    Thanks
    Jim

    No, the system won't 'copy' but you can clone it.

    You could also copy or clone  /Users to the new drive and leave the system where it is and free up most of the file space being used. OS X only needs 100GB. That way all the data is on the new drive.
    And I think you want to add CCC along with TimeMachine to your backup strategy.

  • How can I migrate my old sync data to the new system when I don't have any devices signed in

    I just reformatted my computer harddrive and reinstalled both Windows and Linux. Now that I have everything installed and updated, Firefox is asking me to migrate to the new syncing system they have. Problem is, I want to still be able to sign into the old system just to be able to get my bookmarks so I can migrate them to the new system.
    I still have my sync key, and login information for the old system, but I just want to know how to access it once to get my information. I can handle everything from there.

    hello, in this case you'd probably have to use a workaround and download the prior firefox version, disable automatic updating for the moment (in options > advanced > update), link it to the old sync account and upgrade after you have successfully restored your data this way...
    [[Install an older version of Firefox]]

  • How do I transfer files from my iPod to my new computer when most of my content is ripped from discs, not purchased from iTunes?

    All of the topics I've read that discuss transferring files from an old iPod, to a new computer don't address the issue of the files NOT being purchased from iTunes. My windows vista computer died, and I downloaded the iTunes software onto my new 8.1 computer, but my "classic", with 90G of content won't sync with the new iTunes. Yes, I have authorized the new computer. Of course, I had no chance to download my library from my old computer, to my new, because the old one's dead. It seems that you aren't allowed to transfer your entire library,  just merch from iTunes. I feel there must be a work around, and Apple's just making it difficult for some reason. I'd hate to think I have to go through the time comsuming task of reloading thousands of CDs to my new computer. Any help out there? I would think this scenario happens all the time.

    Unfortunately, it does happen all the time.
    It's always been a sensible idea to maintain a backup of your iTunes Library on something like an external hard drive. iTunes does not allow for transfer from the iPod to iTunes, in the main, to prevent illegal copying of music.
    I believe a programme such as Yamipod will allow you to copy from an iPod to iTunes, although I've never tried it.

  • How do I transfer music from my ipod to my new computer when I have songs downloaded from another source that is not i tunes. It prompts me for i tunes user name numerous times with different profiles every time.

    It is not showing my ipod as registered on this computer by the way.

    If all the numerous user profiles are yours, just sign in with the relevant passwords. If they are not then you shouldn't be using the media anyway...

  • How do I transfer my iPhone 4S contacts to Lexus RX400 navigation system?

    How do I transfer my iPhone 4S contacts to Lexus RX400 navigation system phonebook?
    I was able to do it easily with my old Blackberry Bold 9700. Unfortunately, I no longer have that phone and I do not want to enter them one by one since I have about 200 of them.
    I now have an iPhone4s and cannot figure out how to do it on it.  Some of the Lexus boards say that it cannot be done since the iPhone is not a real business phone.
    Can anyone help?
    The iPhone4s has been successfully paired with the car via bluetooth.  It says that it is ready to accept the transfer of data but I cannot determine how to transmit the data from the iPhone.  With the Blackberry, I just seelected the Bluetooth connection, the paired device and there was a Transmit option but the iPhone does not seem to have that.
    Thanks.

    I would sign out again, then update your Mac (latest version, not 10.7.3 as shown in your signature), open "Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars" and then choose iCloud and sign in again. I would also do the same on your iOS device (sign out and in). Make sure to confirm the message when you will be asked to merge the contacts with iCloud.
