HT201269 Botched transfer to new device

i was setting up my new iPhone 5S by transferring my itunes backup from my existing iPhone 4S when I accidentally stopped it halfway through transferring my apps.I can't figure out how to finish transferring my saved app information now. I considered restoring my new device and starting the transfer over from scratch but during set up I was prompted to register my new iphone with itunes so I'm not sure if that will prevent me from doing so because itunes now shows them with seperate accounts/backups. Does anyone have any advice on how I can fix this?

Never mind, I figured it out. It was so freaking easy I'm embarrassed that I didn't try this sooner. I simply plugged the new iphone back in and itunes automatically started to finish the rest of the transfer to my relief. I'm so relieved that I didn't have to do anything drastic like fully restoring the new phone and starting the transfer over from scratch. I hope that this helps someone else who finds themselves in this situation.

  • Applecare+ transfer to new device

    I got my iphone replaced today at a genius bar, do they transfer the applecare  to the replacement device? I'm asking because acording to my support profile it hasnt been transferred.

    It should transfer to the new phone.  If it doesn't transfer in a few days, call Apple.

    - If you restored the 5G frmm the iTunes backup of the 3G were th app in the iTunes library of the computer you used? They have to be.
    - If yes then try again. When I first restored my iPad 4 from the iTunes backup of my iPad 1 app data did not transfer. I tried again and it did.

  • I have over 16,000 songs in my iTunes library so I manually manage the music on all my devices. I bought a new iPod to replace an older one. I'd like to transfer all 900 songs to my new device without having to handpick each song. Is there a way to do it?

    No. I have quite a few more 16,000, so I don't manually manage. Making playlists for each device makes things much easier to organize. You can create regular lists of essential tracks and smart playlists to automatically catch new content, top rated, most played etc. If you'd done it this way all along configuring a new or restored device would be the work of moments.

  • Bought a new 4s and need to transfer photos from iCloud to new device. iCloud is giving me an old @me address. I do not have the email or pw  for the iCloud account. How do I retrieve this information? Thanks.

    If you need to change the iCloud ID on your new phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I am having difficulty finding any information on this kind of transfer and I am not sure if it is even possible. Just not looking forward to loosing my progress in games and information in notes and other apps. Thanks

    Have you been syncing the iPod with iTunes? Then you just connect the iPad and set it up through iTunes and sync any content you want onto it.

    In terms of games/apps. If they are not universal (you will see a + symbol next to them) or made for iPad (you would see an HD in the name, usually) then they won't look good on an iPad as those apps will open in a iPod sized window, giving you the option to enlarge.

  • Transfer BBM Chats to new Device

    Hi,
    I am trying to transfer my BBM Chat History from my old Z10 to a new Classic.  I have followed every resource I can find, especially from CrackBerry.  No Luck.
    I have backed up my BBM chat history fromthe Z10, but can't restore it onto my Classic.
    Please help.  I have chats that I really cherish and want to transfer onto my new Classic.
    I didn't expect to have a "classic" phone issue where every time we transfer something we lose all text/contacts/information.  If text messages can get transfered, why can't BBM chat history?
    Thanks,
    TrDxIt

    BBM for BlackBerry 10, Android, iOS and Windows Phone does not support transferring individual BBM chat history between devices. The only conversations that transfer when switching devices are BBM Group conversations.
    BBM for BlackBerry OS does save the individual chat history to the device memory which can be found at /home/user/im/BlackBerry Messenger/history/
    BBM for BlackBerry 10, Android, iOS and Windows Phone does not save the BBM chat history is a accessible location.
    For more detail about BBM Chat History check out this post I put together last year > How to save precious moments using BBM Chat History. 
    Obviously you would like support for transferring BBM Chat History so I’ll pass along your feedback for future consideration.
