  • Just got an iphone 5s, I'm trying to transfer info from old phone but it's for a password to unlock iphone backup, I;ve never had a password for this before. How do I get the password?

    Hi,
    I've just bought an Iphone 5s, I'm trying to sync it to transfer all my info from my iphone 4 but when I click on continue to restore from this back up, it's asking for a password. I didn't have a password for the previous phone. Can anyone help?

    If the backup you're trying to restore from is encrypted, & you don't know the encrypted passcode, the backup will be unusable & you will not be able to recover any data from it. Encrypting an iPhone backup is not done automatically. You, or someone, had to elect to encrypt it to begin with, and no, there is no default passcode.
    Did you have an Exchange account on your iPhone 4? It is common for Corp. Exchange accounts to require an iPhone backup be encrypted. If you did, you might try your Exchange password.

  • 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.

  • Bought the Iphone 6   2days ago. My mac pro finds the phone on bluetooth but phone will not discover ANY bluetooth divices. Have hard reset the phone and restarted as well. nothing. Any suggestions or issues. This is the first apple phone I have owne

    Bought the Iphone 6   2 days ago. My mac pro finds the phone on bluetooth but phone will not discover ANY bluetooth divices. Have hard reset the phone and restarted as well. nothing. Any suggestions or issues. This is the first apple phone I have owned. Am not very happy that Bluetooth would present a problem.

    I can't help with the other devices but note that an iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
    If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458

  • We just bought two IPhone5C's and tried to retire our info from old phones to the new. The problem is my phone showed my husband's e mail and password under I cloud and his showed mine! Crazy..we did not dare to restore as we thought we would get each oth

    We bought two new I Phones 5c...and we went to restore from the cloud but we did not feel comfortable because his phone showed MY Cloud e mail and password and HIS phone showed my e mail and asked for my password.. we were afraid that we would backup each others info on the wrong phone? Wonder how to straighten this out with the Cloud...help?

    You would really have to ask the app developer if there is a way to export the data.
    As for adding a printer, you would need to purchase an AirPrint compatible printer and connect it to your wireless network.
    By the way, your holiday letter/rant/Idon't even know what to call it... is completely inappropriate for these forums.

  • HT4623 Have a new iphone 5 and trying to transfer info from old iphone. Seems like the new phone is stuck on the choose backup page and I cant seem to get it to move. Help!?

    Have a new Iphone and trying to set up. Got to the page choose back up and both old phone and ipad are showing but cant select either and its just sitting there. what should i be doing?

    You can transfer the purchases you made on your old iPhone 3 by plugging it in to iTunes and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from your IPhone to the iTunes on your computer.  This will get music you purchased in iTunes, apps, etc.  (e.g., movies).
    But for the rest you would need to restore a backup of your newly deceased computer.

    Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

  • Just got home with new 4s.  upgraded from iphone 3. how do i transfer info from old i phone to new iphone?

    how do i transfer information (contacts, etc.) from old iphone 3 to new 4gs?

    Assuming that you've been syncing your iPhone 3 to your computer/iTunes, plug it in one last time and let it backup. Then plug in your 4S, and when 'setting up phone' choose the latest backup.
    Let me know if that doesn't make sense or something doesn't work!

  • Need to transfer Logic from old Macbook Pro to new iMac - Best Way???

    Hey Everybody. I've got a new iMac showing up tomorrow which I couldn't be more excited about. I need to transfer/add all my Pro Audio Apps (Logic, Ableton, Native Instruments, Rob Papen, etc.) as well as iWork to the new computer but don't know the best way to do it. I could try and learn to do a formal "migrate" but I would prefer a clean install of all my programs.
    Let me know if you have any tips! Thank you for your time!

    When you turn on your machine for the first time it will ask you if you want to migrate from another Mac, simply choose yes and follow the on-screen directions. If your old machine has a Firewire 800 connection get a cable like this if it only has FW 400 then get a cable like this. You may be able to find these at your local computer store if not then as you can tell Amazon has them as well as many other online suppliers.
    Your migration should be very straight forward, simply ensure your old machine is has run all software updates and is in good working order. As in any many change ensure you backup the old machine prior to starting the operation. Within a few hours all the information should should have migrated and you will be able to pick up where you left off on the old machine.

  • Replaced a new HDD but need to get info from old HDD, can I swap it out?

    Excuse me if I sound like an idiot....my factory original 40GB Toshiba HDD finally had to be replaced after serving me for 5 yrs. I took it to a local dealer and replaced it with a new 160GB Samsung drive.
    Here comes the problem...I realized that I had forgotten to backup some important files. So my question is, is it safe (and possible) to open up the laptop myself, plug in the old drive, run it, and backup the files I want on a removable drive, and then swap the new drive back in?
    I hope I am not over-simplifying the problem. Thanks though, your help is greatly appreciated.

    Sorry let me backup.
    You have the 12" Powerbook correct?
    If so then that means that you have a IDE or some call it ATA (not to be confused with SATA found in new macs) type of drive.
    So what you need is an external 2.5" HDD case or enclosure that has an external interface that is firewire or USB, and an internal interface that is IDE or also known as ATA.
    check out these two links and maybe they will help.

    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MOTGFWU2/
    On ebay the external enclosure/IDE is what you want, the external portable probably comes with a drive in it. You have a drive already you want to install into the case so you do not need the external portable.
    The 2.0 vs 2.5 I'm not sure about unless you typo'ed and meant 3.0 vs 2.5. As there are two different sizes for HDD's 3"(for desktops) and 2.5"(for laptops).
    Firewire and USB are rival interfaces which allow external devices to attach to a computer. Your Powerbook will accept either, but if you plan on using the external enclosure to boot you Powerbook then you'll need the firewire as Powerbooks can only boot external from firewire not USB. Some enclosures have both USB and Firewire and that would be ok, some people prefer them, as I do.
    I hope that your old drive is still strong enough to get the info off of it.
    What was wrong with it for you to replace it in the first place?

  • Need to transfer songs from old computer to new one..??

    I have a laptop that I was using while my main computer was in the shop for repair. In that time I got an Ipod 30 Gig. I connected it to the laptop and downloaded quite a few songs. After I got my main 'puter back, I installed all the relevent software and so on for the Ipod. I downloaded some new songs and videos to this computer, but it will not go on to my Ipod. I plug in and it asks if I want to overwrite my old library? Well heck no! I want to merge them..so to speak. Well, I let it overwrite but it didn't put any new songs or video on it. Said I was using another library at this time. !!! This is getting very aggrevating. Does anyone know how to get all my songs/video's on one computer and all of them on the Ipod as well???

    The iPods will not auto sync betten mulitiple computers. You will have to set it to sync manually. Search for iPod multiple computers there are lots of posts telling you how to do this.
