I dont have an iCloud option on my old phone, which is a 3GS.  How do I get my info from it to my new 5C?

Connect 3GS to computer and backup through iTunes to your computer.
Connect 5c to computer and restore from the backup you just made.

    i dont find my iCloud, i think i deleted it! how can i get it back? I have Mac OS X 10.6.8

    You need Lion or Mountain Lion.

  • I want to know how I can get all my stuff from my iPhone 3 to my new iPhone five after I have already set up from new phone?

    I want to know how I can get all my stuff from my iPhone 3 to my new iPhone five after I have already set up from new phone?

    You can restore a backup of the old device to a new one.  This will erase everything on the new one before restoring, so this may be an issue if you already have data on the new device. 
    To do a backup of the old device, iTunes is the safest route, in my opinion.  Many users have lost photos when performing a restore from an icloud backup.
    An icloud backup does not include everything.  For example,only photos in camera roll are backed up.  Also, music is not backed up since you get it back from itunes and (for purchased music) from the itunes store.
    To restore:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your phone.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your phone is new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

  • How can I get all the stuff from my old iPad 2 to my new iPad 2? I have an apple id and have synced and backed up my old iPad 2 regularly.

    Sky is right you can restore the old backup and it will not affect the old iPad
    To make sure do this:
    1. If you have the old one then just turn off wi-fi and the iPad (that's just for your peace of mind)
    2. Put new iPad on airplane mode (just for no interruptions )
    3. Connect it (while it's on, don't shut it down)
    4. Follow prompts and when it asks if you want to setup as new or restore CHOOSE: RESTORE
    5. It will make its magic (just wait for it to sync, restarts, and finishes) it might ask you to update software if it does just accept
    6. You can rename your new iPad like that you can have a fresh back up
    7. ENJOY your new iPad
    ----------OR-----------
    1. Do the above steps 1, 2, 3.
    2. On step 4 you can choose to set up as new
    3. Then you can choose what to sync on it (click on iPad on the left panel then the tabs on top you choose what you want on it (you can also do that if you restore)
    4. Follow steps 5, 6, 7.
    ****If you don't have your old iPad you can remove it from your account ****
    ****Also when they sync it to a new computer it will setup as new unless they had an old one then they will restore it their old one****
    ****if you have it connected with your MobileMe or iCloud and you have the find my _____ you can also wipe it as soon as it comes online****
    LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS
    AGAIN ENJOY YOUR NEW IPAD!!!

    Most Windows users don't.
    Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
    Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer.

  • HT4759 I am trying to set up icloud on my Macbook. I was using the step by step guide on your site but when I open system perferences I do not have the icloud icon under internet and wireless. How do I get it?

    I am trying to set up icloud on my macbook, I was using the step by step guide on the site but when I try go into system perfences in there is no icloud icon under internet and wireless. How do I get it?

    This is presumably because you are running an earlier system than Lion. (Please always post your system when you have a question.)
    The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
    To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
      and the supported models are:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
      You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
      If you are running Leopard on an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further.

  • I have a new Mac PC but my IPod touch ITunes account was on my old desk top, how do I get all my music on my new MAC? It appears I might have 2 ITunes accounts which is why my IPod is not synching all the songs, please help.

    I have a new MAC PC with an old IPod Touch that was synch to my old desktop, how do I get the new music on my new MAC if I might have had an old account?

    The article in my previous reply said:
    - Transfer iTunes purchases from iPod to computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - For non-Tunes purchases you need to use a third-party program. Several are discussed in the link in my previous reply
    - Then to sync with the new computer after getting all synced media like apps and music on the new computer yo have to backup the iPod to iTunes and restore from that backup

  • Hello...i have lost my all my data because i restored my phone, how can i get all contacts and photos back?

    Hello, I have lost all my data from iphone as i restored it, how can i get my old contacts and photos back ?

    Connect to the computer the last backup is on, right click on its name in iTunes, and choose "Restore from backup". If the latest backup is in iCloud make sure you have a WiFi connection, then go to Settings/General/Reset and tap Erase all content and settings. After erasing you will be prompted to restore the iCloud backup.

  • HT4993 i accidently restored on my husbands computer and now i have his information that would be on his phone how do i get my stuff back

    There are three kinds of "stuff" on your machine:
    • Mac OS X - System, Library, and the standard Applications, and the hidden unix files
    • Applications you added - these will mostly be in Applications, maybe a few in Utilities
    • User files: These will be ONLY in the subdirectory off /Users with your login name -- nowhere else..
    There are two kinds on "getting rid of it".      Tilde ( ~ ) represents your username.
    • I am keeping my machine under my control, I just don't want that stuff in my face.
    For this, you can drag the contents of a few folders inside you Users folder to the Trash.
    1) /Users/~/Documents
    2) /Users/~/Downloads
    3) /Users/~/Pictures
    4) /Users/~/Music
    5) /Users/~/Movies
    • I am changing this machine to different ownership, and I want that stuff unrecoverable:
    The most secure is to completely erase the Hard Drive and choose security option Zero out data, one pass. This takes several hours. You will then have to re-Install Mac OS X and any Applications you added.
    Slightly less secure is to erase what you want to get rid of, then "Erase Free Space" with overwrite with Zeroes, one pass. Take somewhat less time, but there is a tiny possibility something might get re-used before it gets over-written.
