How To Sync Backed Up Photos To New iPhone 5?

Hi,
I was just wondering how to get my backed up photo album from my iPhone 4 to my new iPhone 5? I have backed up a lot of photos from my old iPhone and want to transfer them all to my new one, but when I sync, it only syncs my music and apps?
It won't sync my contacts and notes etc as wellm but have retrieved this through iCloud which isn't a problem, but I cannot get my old messages and photos to go through? I know you can just manually sync photos from folders but I would rather have them in my camera roll as it makes it easier rather than seperate folders, and want to make sure my geo tags are there as I have been to a lot of places around the world!
I have tried backing up my iPhone 4 over and over, and even got to a point where it said importing photos which was a good sign, but when I restore my iPhone 5 and try it it still won't pick up the photos or contacts etc? I have made sure I have selected my most recent backup so that shouldn't be the problem, but just wondered if I haven't put a setting on or something?
My friend who also upgraded from a 4 to a 5 literally syced up and was away?
Thanks for your help,
Leslie

What are you actually trying to do? If you wish to sync them to the iPod, that means have them on the iPod and in iTunes, but you specifically say you don't want them on the PC. However, like music on the iPod, to have it there it needs to be in the library (especially if you want to auto-sync), which is what you say you have to do.
You mention the library and transferring the podcasts automatically, which suggests that you are trying to put them onto the iPod to listen to, but then you mention enabling disk use, which surely means storing them on the iPod as data files which you cannot listen to. So do you want to put them onto the iPod to listen to, or just to store them?
How are you getting these podcasts anyway? The easiest way is to subscribe to them and let iTunes do all the work of finding and downloading them into the podcast part of iTunes and automatically syncing them into the Podcast section of the iPod. There are options in iTunes for keeping none, some, or all podcasts on the iPod, even once you have listened to them.
Provide us with a bit more information and maybe we can sort out the best solution for you.

  • How do I back up photos from my iphone 5 to computer?

    I cannot seem to back up my photos from my iphone 5 to my computer.  I turn off icloud back up on my phone, hook up to my deskstop...which opens itunes.  I sync, but the photos do not back up.  If I go to the photos tab in itunes, I see where I can copy photos from my desktop to my phone, but not the other way around.  I am sure I am missing something easy and basic.  Please advise me!  thank you!

  • How to sync pictures from "Photo Library" on iphone 4 to computer to manage them?

    This is my senerio! I recently got an iPhone 4...before this phone, i had a Droid through Verizon. Yet, this iPhone 4 service is still through Verizon. When i got the iPhone, i wanted all my pictures from my old phone, the Droid, on this iPhone. The people at Verizon transferred them over. Those pictures were put into the "Photo Library" of my iPhone. I only have say...about maybe 200 pictures. They were all duplicated, many many times! So now i have over 800 of the same pictures in my "Photo Library" how do i delete the duplicates?? I've noticed i cannot delete pictures using the trash can through "Photo Library" you have to be in the Camera Roll to do so. Here are my big questions...
    1. How do i delete pictures off my phone through "Photo Library" without deleting them all?!
    2. How do i get the photos from "Photo Library" onto my computer, or iTunes to be able to manage them?!
    I want to pick and choose then delete. I do not want to delete my WHOLE Photo Library.
    Again, remember, i never got these already photos from a computer, i got them from another phone!
    Someone, please help me! This is so ridiculous!

    The photo sync is one way - computer to iphone.
    You ould have to e-mail them to yourself.  When you sync photos to your iphone the current pics will be deleted.
    The iphone is not a storage device, it simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.

  • How to Sync Modified iPhoto Photos to New iPad?

    Hi, the question is really in the title. I have just returned from holiday and have edited 300+ photos in iPhoto. These have been synced to my iPad which is only showing the originals, not the modified versions. After searching these forums I found a solution for the iPhone - deleting the iPod cache file in iPhoto package contents - but this did not help on the iPad.
    I have batch changed the names of the photos and re-synced but this has not helped. I suspect I could export them all and then re-import but iPhoto loses tagged faces doing that and having spent hours assigning faces I'm not keen on going through that again.
    Has anyone cracked this particular issue, or could someone with an iPad try modifying a photo and seeing if it syncs okay - would be good to know if this is a local issue to me or a generic problem.
    Thanks.
    David.

    Hi, René,
    that is not as it should be, so pardon my very basic questions - just to be sure:
    How do you sync from iTunes? Have you set the "Sync Photos from" pop-up menu in the "Devices" tab in iTunes  to "Aperture" and not to your "Pictures" folder?
    To sync the edited versions, you have to sync with Aperture and not with the masters folder on the Disk. Set Aperture to share Previews with the iLife Applications (in the Aperture Preferences > Previews tab) and to automatically create the Previews. Set the preview quality and size to your main display dimensions.
    If you already have that, please post back and explain more how you are syncing with your iPhone.
    Regards
    Léonie

    When you went back to the place where you purchased this phone, & asked them, what did they say?
    No one here can help you with this, nor can/will Apple. You need to take this up with whoever you purchased this phone from.

    Hi Richail,
    Once you have selected your sync options in iTunes, such as what music or videos you want to transfer, the Apply button should be in the bottom right hand corner of the window. For more information on syncing iOS devices, you may find the following article helpful:

  • Lost my iPod and don't know how to get back my photos

    I lost my iPod touch 5th generation and don't know how to get back my photos.  It is running iOS 8.1.
    Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Get them back from where?
    They will only be where you put them.
    If you used photo stream, then look for them there.
    If you imported them to your computer, then they will be there.
    If you did not put them anywhere but your iPhone, then they are gone.
    Sorry

  • HT4859 how do i back up photos on iphoto?

    how do i back up photos on my imac from iphoto. I thought this was supposed to happen automatically to icloud but i've been advised that only applies for photos on my iphone. thx

    More advice, regarding photos on iOS devices ...
    You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.  This is covered in the manual.
