HT1766 how do i combine 2 iphone back ups into one, i had an iphone 4 and now have a 5s but need to back up the 4 contect into the 5s

I has an iphone4 that i last backed up in July. I got a new 5s when i activated the 5s i forgort to first update the Iphone4. I went back and updadted the iphone 4. Now how do I get that info over to the iphone 5s.

You cannot combine backups. You can only use one or the other. Your first problem is the fact that you had not backed up the phone since July. When did you get the 5s? When you activated the 5s, did you set it up as new or did you restore from the old iPhone 4 backup? Did you set the 5s up as new and begin using it and you want to keep the data on the 5s and add the data from the 4? If that is the case, it cannot be done. When you restore from a backup, you wipe all the data off the device and take it back to the date of the backup. All newer data is erased.
Maybe I'm confused, but what are you saying that you "went back and updated the iPhone 4"?

    my ipad 2 touch had stoped working and now i cant unlock it to get back

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    Restart / Reset   >  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Restoring  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • Can I have multiple iPhones with unique back ups using one icloud account?

    Hello forum users,
    Can I have multiple iPhones with unique back ups using one icloud account?
    I would like to back up and restore 4 different iPhones, 1 iPad, a MacBook and 1 MacBook Pro using the same single iCloud account.
    If so, how is this done?
    Many thanks

    Sharing an iCloud account between two devices can be done without causing issues with iMessage and FaceTime, just go into Settings for each of these functions and designate separate points of contact (i.e. phone number only, or phone number and unique email address).  While that works, you'll then face the problem where a phone call to one iPhone will ring both if on the same Wi-Fi network -- but again, that can be avoided by changing each phone's settings.
    Rather than do all that, don't fight it -- use separate IDs for iCloud.  You can still use a common ID for iTunes purchases (the ID for purchases and iCloud do not have to be the same) or you can use Family Sharing to share purchases from a primary Apple account.

  • My husband plugged my iPhone into his computer, created an account and now when I want to add apps it asks for his password not mine.  How do I get my account back?  Tried plugging it into his computer again.  No prompt to change account back to mine.

    Hi Trishw,
    At the top of the iTunes Store window, you will see who is logged into iTunes. I'm guessing from your description, that it is your husband. If it is, click on the name to display the dropdown, log him out and sign yourself back in:\

    Hi All,

    All of  your apps should be in iTunes on the computer, simply sync them back.
    If they are not, go into the purchase history and download them again.

  • HT1349 How do I set up a separate icloud account? Both my wife and I have an iPhone 4s and an iPad, but only one Mac. We are tired of our "stuff" getting mixed up together when we sync.

    How do I set up a separate icloud account? Both my wife and I have an iPhone 4s and an iPad (1 and 3), but only one Mac. We are tired of our "stuff" getting mixed up together when we sync. Thanks much

    You don't need separate iCloud accounts if you want to simply sync unique content to each device using iTunes. I have three iDevices using one ID and one iTunes library and each device has it's own content on it. You need to set up the sync configuration for each device. This is what I recommend.
    First turn off auto sync in iTunes. Launch iTunes on the Mac and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from automatically syncing. Click OK and then quit iTunes.
    Connect one of your devices to the Mac and launch iTunes.
    Click on the device name on the left side under the devices heading.
    Click on a tab in iTunes - Apps for instance.
    Click on the Apps that you want to sync to that device.
    Make sure that the Sync Apps heading is checked.
    Follow the same procedure for all of the other tabs in iTunes ..... Music, Photos, Movies and so on.
    After you have finished making all of your selections, click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
    When you are done, eject the first device and do the same thing with the other device. iTunes will now remember the sync configuration on each device.
    You can change that configuration any time that you like by following the steps outlined above.
    If you want to continue to auto sync, turn it back on in the iTunes preferences as described above.

    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 an ipod/iphone/ipad:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • I lost my phone had everything backed up on icloud.got my new phone,went to retrieve my photos but it duplicated a certain amount therefore used the free 5 gb of data. purchased 16gb then but cant see my old photos or old iphone on icloud account

    I lost my phone had everything backed up on icloud.
    got my new phone,went to retrieve my photos but it duplicated a certain amount therefore used the free 5 gb of data. purchased 16gb then but cant see my old photos or old iphone details  on icloud account. it only shows the certain amount that duplicated but no old phone details or old photos.
    gutted all travelling photos

    If you have a backup of your old phone, the backup should include your camera roll photos.  Restoring the backup should recover them.  This explains how to restore an iCloud backup: iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud.

  • I "upgraded" to FF5 and now have no refresh or stop icons in the menu bar, nor are they available on the "personalize" menu. How do I get them back?

    Question
    I "upgraded" to FF5 and now have no refresh or stop icons in the menu bar, nor are they available on the "personalize" menu. How do I get them back?

    The idea is that the button on the end of the location gar is smart and changes between being a stop or a reload button. It is a stop button whilst loading and a reload button once loaded.
    The buttons can be dragged off the customise menu, or if they are already on the toolbar they may be re-positioned, they combine depending on the order they are in, separate them or move them so they swap places, instead of docking with the location bar.

    How can I combine different pdf files in one?
    created by Sara.Forsberg in Adobe PDF Pack - View the full discussion 
    Hi Flávia,
    Adobe PDF Pack is an online subscription--it definitely allows you to combine several files into one PDF file. For more information about PDF Pack, see Reliably Create PDFs, Convert PDFs, & Merge PDFs Online | Adobe PDF Pack. If you don't have the full version of Acrobat, this is a great solution for combining PDF files.
    However, if you're using Acrobat (not Adobe Reader), you combine files by following these steps:
    Open a PDF file that you want to add pages to.
    Click the Pages pane on the Tools panel (on the right side of the application).
    Click Insert From File, and choose the file that you want to combine with the PDF that you opened in step 1.
    Make any changes necessary in the Insert Pages dialog box--these settings determine where the new file will be inserted.
    Click OK.
    Please let me know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara

    I bought an iPhone 4 from a youngster who had put his own Apple ID on it but could not remember the password. I backed it up yesterday and restored to my new iPhone and it copied the Apple ID across too. Now I have 2 phones with it on. Anything I do?

    that must be really annoying !!
    so this is what you call
    FIND MY IPHONE ACTIVATION LOCK Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support
    when you start using iCloud on any iOS device and enable find my iPhone, this prevents  a new user from using it, and also prevents anyone from using the phone
    as it is locked to previous owners account ,this is also the case if when a phone is lost or stolen.
    the only way around this is to have the previous owner reset their apple id by going to  @ applied.apple.com
    if they are unable to do this, then the only other way around this is to have the previous owner get  a copy of their original receipt and call apple support who can then lift this lock if they get a copy of the receipt
    unfortunately there is no quick fix -> the below link explains what you should do before you sell or give away an iPhone
