How do i transfer SMS messages from iPhone 2g to iPhone 5?
Hey everyone,
I've just upgraded from the original iPhone 2g, to an iPhone 5.
I backed up my 2g phone to my computer, and then restored my new iPhone 5 frm that back up. However eveything from my old phone has transferred accross (Music, Photos, Notes etc...) but none of my text messages have transferred accross onto my new phone.
Does anyone know why this has happened, and how / if I can get my old messages onto my new phone?
Thanks for your help in advance.
You can try to restore again, but I wouldn't count on it working.
The iPhone 5 uses iMessage which wasn't available on the 2G, so there might be an incompatibility.
Honestly, I wouldn't even use the backup from the 2G - it's a 6 yr old phone model and you might be carrying over some setting that isn't desirable on a new device.

If the calendar is connected to a server account, like Exchange, you cannot sync via iTunes. You need to connect to the server on your MacBook.
If it is not connected to a server account then you need to ensure syncing is set up in iTunes. This is in the Info tab for your selected phone in iTunes. -

Is there a way of doing so?
ThanksNot without restoring your iPad from the backup of your iPhone, which will revert all data and settings on your iPad to those contained in this backup, not just text message conversations.
