HT201269 For some reason, the contacts from my old iPhone wont sync into my new iPhone.Could you tell me how to transfer my contacts?

I got an iPhone 5 and i want to transfer my contacts from the iPhone 4 to iPhone 5.i have followed the instructions from here to transfer my stuff onto the new device however my contacts have not been transfered.
can anyone tell me why and how to easily transfer my contacts to iPhone 5 from iPhone 4s.

You are using iTunes or iCloud as backup?
And you are setting your iPhone 5 up from backup?

    Hi had the same problem with my iphone my problem was the usb driver for apple that was the cause.To be exact the inf file was the culprit .
    1.Go to device manager ,under usb serial bus controllers ,apple mobile device driver should be seen,If not do this first connect iphone to computer switch to camera this should start installing driver for the camera of the iphone check the portable devices in Device Manager Apple Iphone should be seen then go down to the Universal Serial Bus Controllers now you should see the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver right click on and click on update driver browse on computer for driver software
    Navigate to C:\Program Files\CommonFiles\Apple\MobileDeviceSupport\Drivers\usbaapl.inf.click on this file and you should now have this working.Talk about pulling out hair for this easy fix like others before me reninstalled all the software again again for ditto.I hope this works.Let me know cheers

  • Some of the music in my itunes isn't syncing to my new IPhone?

    My parents went and bought me a used pre-paid IPhone because the bill for my old contract one was growing unmanageable for them apparently. This IPhone is driving me insane because it will not sync all of my music onto. I have exactly 1,147 songs in my library and it is only syncing 995 of them. And when I look in the IPhone to see what songs synced and what songs didn't , it is always the same exact 152 songs that remain missing. There is a dotted circle next to those songs when I look in the IPhone. This is very annoying and I don't know what to do about it. I tried removing the songs from the IPhone and resyncing them, that didn't work. I tried hitting CTRL + A to select all the songs in the itunes and dragging them to the IPhone to sync manually, and that didn't work. It isn't a storage either because there is still 3.71 GB free. My old IPhone never had this problem at all, can anyone help me with this problem?

    Where was your itunes before?
    If it was on another computer you need to transfer the content over. Downloading and installling iTunes only gives the empty program.

  • Cannot access the iCloud mail for some reason I don´t know. Worked perfect until Nov 28th, but a message with "incorrect ID/password" popped up. Contacts and iCal is accessible. Have tried from iPad, Mac, iPhone and PC. Any recommendations?

    Reset your password. Be sure your new one meets the requirements for length (8) and characters (at least one upper case and one number).

  • HT4436 For some reason  the ICloud took my contact list and left me without a list on my PC.

    For some reason  the ICloud took my contact list and left me without a list on my PC. My IPAD and IPOD Touch seem to share well with ICLoud but has removed my contact list completly from my PC. I am wondering if anyone else has had this experience or knows how to get it back ? 

    Be prepared to lose everything on your iPhone but it should be backed up in iTunes so you can restore from your backup.

  • HT1918 I can't seem to update my apps or make any purchases on from my account. Nothing has changed with my credit card information and for some reason the iTunes Store tells me my information is incorrect. What do I do?

    I can't seem to update my apps or make any purchases on from my account. Nothing has changed with my credit card information and for some reason the iTunes Store tells me my information is incorrect. What do I do?

    Yes, it's frustrating.
    I don't have my iPod with me but, as I recall, the change is done in Settings/Store.  That change will apply to NEW purchases.  However, be aware that all purchases are permanently associated with the Apple ID that was originally used.  Generally, it's only a problem when you need to update an app.  IF you do your updating from iTunes and your logged in to the "wrong" ID, you'll need to log out and back in again.  It's easier from the iPod as you do not need to log out/in but you do need to know the password.
    Unfortunately, you can not merge IDs nor can you transfer purchases from one ID to another.  Go here to find out exactly what you have.  I have the same problem so I deliberately made both passwords identical to make things slightly easier for me.

  • So I've downloaded a tv series from iTunes onto my macbook pro, for some reason the episodes on my iTunes won't play at all. no sound and no images. any suggestions and help?

    Hi,
    As you have match, I suggest that you create a new library by holding ctrl whist launching iTunes. Select create new library. Sign into iTunes Store and activate match. You will now have access to your music and will be able to stream your music.
    Options : get a new external drive formatted for mac and either download music from match or copy music from old drive to new one. Alternatively you could reformat old drive and download music from match - I would not be comfortable using this option as it means erasing drive before being able to use with mac.

  • HT2265 for some reason the only photos that do the random scrolling are events, can I include the albums from iphoto to scroll as well.   the know the albums have synced because i can view them in slideshow

    for some reason the only photos that do the random scrolling are photos in the events section of iphoto. is it possible to include the albums from iphoto to scroll as well.   the know the albums have synced because i can view them in slideshow  pls help

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I assume you are referring to the screensaver. You can change the photos used by the screensaver in the screensaver settings. Note if you have a large number of photos in the collection you choose for screensaver, not all of them will be used due to the limited storage available to the Apple TV.

  • Hello there, if i had installed a windows on bootcamp and for some reasons the windows had infected, does the mac gets infected or harmed? sorry im transforming from pc to mac and i just want to know .. thank you

    if i had installed a windows on bootcamp and for some reasons the windows had infected, does the mac gets infected or harmed?

    Yes, when you run Win via BootCamp, the computer is a "real" Windows computer and just as vulnerable as any other Windows machine. It its the operating system, not the hardware, that creates vulnerability.
    However, it also means you basicaly have two independent computers that happen to share the same physical space. The Mac side, as others have said, is not vulnerable to assaults that are made on the Windows side, so do not go installing a pile of anti-virus garage on the Mac side. It is unneeded at this time and will basically ruin your Mac's performance. The Windows side WILL need some form of protection.

    Have you held the menu and left arrow together for 6 secs ?  (I think you have from what you say).
    Also try unpowering and restarting AppleTV.

  • I have made an imovie on my ipad and for some reason the final edit will not keep. When I open the actual projct to edit, it is the way I want it, but when I look at the actual movie

    I have made an imovie on my ipad and for some reason the final edit will not keep. When I open the actual projct to edit, it is the way I want it, but when I look at the actual movie and what loads up to youtube is the version prior to this final fix. I have tried fixing it at least twenty times. The open to edit version has the video the way I want but when I upload it to youtube, its not the version I want to show.

    Well, assuming all of the above, Notifications, etc., it just might be time for a visit to the Apple tore genius center for a session with the techs.  See if it is a fault in the hardware or just an iOS reinstall is the answer.
    One more thing you could try, backup so you have a record of content, then restore to factory conditions be an Erase All Contents and Settings.  Then restore from the backup you just made.  That has helped some with WiFi problems, may be it would work with your problems.
    But with that behavior of another app with problems, the geniuses looks like a less stressful thing to do.

  • I have just upgrade my Ipad3 to IO6 and for some reason the youtube app just gone disappeared. Please help

    I have just upgrade my Ipad3 to IO6 and for some reason the youtube app just gone disappeared. Please help!!

    The YouTube app is not included in iOS 6. You will either need to try one of the YouTube apps from the store (there is an iPhone optimised app from google, and other people have said that they are working on an iPad version), or try accessing the mobile version via Safari : http://m.youtube.com (you can create a home screen shortcut for the site)
