Make sure you have a recent backup to restore from.Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, then look at the bottom of the screen for the message Last Backup, followed by the date of the latest backup.For information about backing up manually now, see Back up your iOS device to iCloud. If you don’t see a backup you expected to be there, see the Apple Support article iCloud: Troubleshooting restoring an iCloud backup.
Go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap “Erase all content and settings.”
In the Setup Assistant, proceed to “Set up your device,” tap Restore from a Backup, then sign in to iCloud.
Proceed to “Choose backup,” then choose from a list of available backups in iCloud.
Have a nice day,

  • Syncing new iphone with old account without reciving old data

    I got a new iPhone. my old one crashed and was replaced. I'm using my old apple id. I want to sync my new iPhone to iTunes but I don't want to sync all the data already stored on iTunes from the previous iPhone. so actually, I want to sync my iPhone like it's it first syncing to iTunes. I want iTunes to receive contacts, apps etc from the iPhone and not the other way around. problem is that the apple id I'm using was already synced with the previous iPhone. could that be done?
    thank you

    Can someone help here?

    This is not very iTunes Public Site Manager related... but I was in the same situation as you a little while ago.
    1 - Sync/back up your old 3gs.
    2 - Activatie your new phone when connected to itunes via cable and it will ask you if you want to restore our old phone.
    3 - ???
    4 - profitt!
    might also work with icloud but i have not tried that method.

  • How to sync  the phone "(

    Hi I purchased a new iphone5 yesterday. I need to sync my iphone 4 the sync the nwe phone. I am having trouble finding out how to sync the phone. "(

    Make sure Address Book has at least one entry, the entry can be fake, that doesn't matter. When you do sync, and select contacts, this will generate a merge or replace prompt. Select merge. You never want to sync to an empty contact or calendar application on your computer.

  • Backed up my old phone to my computer.  trying to sync new phone and retrieve old info.  It is asking for a password.  I never gave it one.  How do I get to my stuff????

    backed up my old i-phone 3 to my computer.  tried to sync new i-phone 4S to computer to restore info.  It is asking for a password.  I never assigned one.  How do I get to my info????

    iTunes will recognize your new phone as a different device from your old phone.  Do you have any information on your new phone that you want to save?  Restoring to the backup of your old phone will overwrite your data and settings with those of your old phone.  If you want to save any data on your new phone, you'll need to do this first.  After doing so, connect it to iTunes, right-click on the name of your phone on the left side and select Restore from Backup, when prompted, selecte the backup of your old phone to restore from.

  • HT1386 My computer broke and I've since gotten a new one. I don't know how to sync my phone to iTunes without losing all my music.  How do I get my old iTunes back on a new computer?

    I studied abroad and my computer broke during the trip.  I eventually got another computer after I came home.  I can no longer access iTunes on that computer, but I still have all my music/photos/apps on my iPhone.  But if I try to sync my phone to the newly downloaded iTunes on this new computer, it wants to erase everything.  Is there a way I can have all my music back on iTunes without losing it off my phone?  My phone is the only place I have it!

    If it's all purchased content, it's really simple. If not, then not so simple.
    To download previous purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    If they aren't purchased from iTunes, then you are going to have to find them and download them onto your computer and back into your iTunes library.
    You can turn off photo syncing, and import the ones from your phone onto your computer.

  • Synced new phone with old phone settings. Can I undo?

    I recently upgraded from an iPhone 3gs to a 4. I used the 4 for three months before I synced it to my iTunes. (I just used iCloud for contacts...etc). When I plugged in my new phone it synced to the settings from my 3gs. How do I get all of my photos, messages and contacts back? Can I "undo" the restore if I it was never backed up to my computer in the first place?
    Can taking it to the Apple store help?

    Oh too bad. Wish you good luck tomorrow then. Hope you retrieve them. If not, at least you learned something from it.

  • How can I sync purchases from my old account to my iTunes Match I set up with a new account?

    I signed up for iTunes Match with my current apple id (@gmail.com) but also have an old itunes account on which I purchased music back in the day (an old email address). I am trying to get purchased music from old account to sync to match because it includes some of my favorites. Help please!

    Purchases made with one Apple ID cannot be transfered, or "synced," to another Apple ID.
    If you are in a country that allows it you must download the previous purchases from the other Apple ID to your computer so they are in the iTunes library, then login with the current Apple ID and purchase iTunes Match. You may need to wait 90 days after doing this. The music from the previous ID will be "matched" or "uploaded" and will then be available in the cloud.

  • HT201269 what if your new phone has less capacity than your older phone

    how would you transfer only a few photos...all contacts for instance? my new phone only has 8GB while my old one has 16GB (thanks att). so i cant restore from backup....so now what?

    What does AT&T have to do with you choosing to purchase an iPhone with only 8GB of storage space to replace an iPhone that has 16GB of storage space?
    The options for transferring photos is under the Photos tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. If a single folder of photos is selected to be transferred, place the photos from that folder that you want transferred to the iPhone into a new folder on your computer. Select the new folder that includes the photos you want transferred under the Photos tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
