How do I use iCloud to get the info from my old iPhone 5 to my new one?

I just got a new iPhone 5.  The girl in the store wiped my old phone (also a 5) and assured me that everything was backed up to iCloud and that I'd be able to get all my apps, photos, contacts etc onto the new phone - all i had to do was update the software first. Now that I've updated the software, I don't know how to get everything onto the new phone.  I have no apps, no contacts, nothing!  Can anybody help please?

Go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below).  Be sure it is connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to complete.

  • When I transferred the info from an old ipod, broken, to a new one the contacts I received were from all over the place, many whom I did not even know.  Can I only restore from the last sync or can I go back further to get my old contacts?

    I recently had to replace my ipod touch.  The old one had a broken button and would not change the screen correctly.  Apple gave me a new ipod and told me all I needed to do was update the new ipod from the itunes which I had backed up prior to getting the new one.  When I did the sync , the info for my contacts was giving me names and addresses from all over the place except the itunes.  Can I retrieve info from a previous sync or only to the last sync that was made?

    Yes I did.  When installing the new ipod it had to update the software, then it sync'ed the information onto the new ipod.  The contacts were not the original ones, and all the phone numbers have dissappeared.  Is there any way to recover them?

  • Don't know how to get my pictures from my old iPhone on to my new one

    I had an iPhone 4 in 2012, a few years later got an iPhone 5s. As soon as i plugged my computer into iTunes my iPhone took the same format as my 4s with all my photos, messages, contacts, and apps. I broke my iPhone 5s and had to get a new iPhone, same exact one, but when I plugged it into my itunes and connected with my cloud, none of my photos came back. I lost all of my photos. I just turned on iCloud Photo Library (Beta) and when it first started updating, it said it was uploading 4,000+ photos to my cloud. But now when I look at my cloud online, it shows only 700, only the photos that have been taken on this phone that i have right now. Where did my pictures go and how do I get them back.

  • How do I get my photos from my old iphone 4 onto my new iphone 5c?

    How do I get my photos from my old ipone 4 onto my new ipone 5c?

    Do you still have the old iPhone? If so, one option would be to import the photos to a computer iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer and then sync them from the computer to the new phone iTunes: Syncing photos
    That is a number of steps but one advantage of doing that is that you then have a copy on the computer where they are safe in the event of loss of the phone, hardware problem or other things that can happen to the phone.
    The other option is by a backup and restore, assuming you still have the old phone or that you did a backup when you had it. A possible disadvantage is that the restore is complete -- i.e., it will overwrite anything you have already added to the new phone such as new photos. iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    A third option would be a 3rd party app installed on each the old and new phone; one example is http://www.photosync-app.com

  • How can I import playlists, ratings, and play counts from an old iTunes library into a new one?

    After reading countless threads re: how to get the iTunes artwork screensaver to work, I decided to delete my iTunes library file and reimport all of music which resulted in fixing the iTunes artwork screensaver.  Unfortunately (and expectedly), my playlists, playcounts, and other information were lost with the creation of a new library.  Is there any way to import the playlists, ratings and play counts for my music from an old library file to my current one?  I realize this may be complex, but I'm up for the task.
    Thanks in advance,
    B

    I can't begin to describe how frustrating the screensaver issue has been for me (and I suspect countless others, judging by the number of threads on the topic). 
    I took your advice, though, just to test it.  After backing up my current library.itl, I copied and pasted the old .itl file into its place.  As expected the playlists, play counts, etc were instantly restored.  And now the screensaver fails to work with the dreaded error 'No iTunes artwork found' which makes me think it IS an issue with the old library file.  The only work around I've seen so far is to rebuild the library (which I did). 
    I'm afraid I'm going to be forced into choosing either a working screen saver or all my itunes data.  Very frustrating indeed.
    Here's a link to the 'definitive' fix for the screensaver, if you're interested.

    Are you talking about TM backups??
    I would consider carefully if it is not better to start over.. TM becomes more problematic as the backups increase in age.. you can archive off the backups from the old TC if you need to store them.

    For data .. copy and paste.. but make sure you turn off wireless and use ethernet as it must copy files via the computer.. by wireless this is dead slow.

  • How do I transfer my info from my old Mac Mini to my new one?

    I have two Mac Mini's.  The old one is a Power Mac 10.5.8 (no Intel) and the new one is a dual system running Snow Leopard 10.6.7.  I only have one monitor and a wireless connection.  How do I transfer my older files and applications from my old Mac to the new one?  I bought a 40/80 Firewire cable and connected it to the proper ports, and changed the monitor setting to shared...held down the T and restarted the old Mac...still nothing.  (These were tips I got from forums.)  Anyone have other ideas? 
    Baring that, I also tried to save my files to a dvd and put them in a burn folder, clicked burn, but it wouldn't burn.  I never used it before...am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks,

  • Is it possible for me to transfer the purchases from my old itunes account to my new one? I would like to keep all of my music, movies, tv shows etc.

    I just created a new Apple ID that is different from my old one. Is it possible for me to transfer the purchases from my old account to my new one? I would like to keep all of my music, movies, tv shows etc.

    It doesn't matter what your AppleID is - you can just change the email address associated with it at http://appleid.apple.com/ as mentioned numerous times above.
    Okay, my former Apple ID = my former email address and the latter is dead because I moved out of the geographic area.
    If you just updated the email address associated with your AppleID you wouldn't have to sign in twice.
    I guess Apple Inc is wrong because that is EXACTLY what they stated when I called yesterday afternoon.  SIGN IN TWICE when I activate Apple TV and want to watch/listen to my legitimate purchases when my iMac is OFF.
    Your only problem is the fact you didn't safely store the password to your account and subsequently forgot it.
    Wrong ... my only PROBLEM, SIR, is that my bride, my wife of over 51 years died in my arms at 4:16 AM on December 27, 2012.  As a direct result, I decided to get the **** out of the city where my Nancy and I lived for **** near 20 years.
    On the outside chance it is of interest to you, she is buried at Arlington National Cemetery, Section 66, based on my faithful military service during 1961 -> 1981 ... including Vietnam during 1967.
    http://lovesongforever.com
    Part of this PROBLEM, SIR, is that Apple Inc refuses to merge my old purchases with my new one.
    SHAME ON YOU!!!

  • How do I transfer all my web/eCommerce info from my old BC account to my new Adobe CC account?

    Hi,
    2 years ago I made an eCommerce website and it went live with Businsss Catalyst. 3 months ago I became a member of Adobe Creative Cloud, which gives me access to Business Catalyst within my Adobe CC account. How do I move all my website information from my old BC account to my new Adobe CC account? If someone could help me out here, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Paul

    Hi Paul,
    This will not work.
    The 5 Creative Cloud sites are only webbasic. They are the lowest plan availible and will not support things like eCommerce.
