HT201269 I just bought a new iphone 5 should i set it up as a new phone or restore from old?

I just purchased an iphone 5 and just hooked up to my mac. Should i set it as a new phone or restore from my last back up? If I set up as a new phone, will I lose all of my old information?

IF you set it up as new it will not have you rold information. If you want your old info then restore from your backup

I bought a new MacBookPro moved everything from old MacBookPro, new machine runs 10.6.7 - but iPhoto won't 'upgrade' the library - just hangs up supposedly while writing new library. help. thanks.

How did you "move everything" over?
Migration assistance does not handle the iPhoto library well sometimes - the best way is to drag the bad iphoto library from the pictures folder on the new system to the desktop, connect the two systems together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old system to the pictures folder of the new system and launch iPhoto on the new system - it will open and convert the iPhoto library as necessary and you will be fine - once you test the iPhoto library you can delete the one on the desktop

HT1338 I have just bought a new Mac Pro after my old one died after nearly 10 years. I have most of my music backed up on CDs, but when i load them into iTunes they are only identified as Track 1, 2, etc. Can I transfer from my iPod and how?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

When I turned on iCloud backup now when I synch to iTunes it asks if I want to set up as new phone or restore from backup. Why? I have been synching this iPhone to this computer fine since I got my iPhone 4S.

1. set up as new
2. transfer you wife's purchases.
3. Just in case create one computer back up manually.
Enjoy.

I recently moved to Australia and received a new iphone with a local AUS number. I have a backup of my US iphone in the icloud. Question: when I activate my new AUS iphone which option should I choose - new phone or restore from backup?

I recently moved to Australia and received a new iphone with a local AUS number. I have a backup of my US iphone in the icloud. Question: when I activate my new AUS iphone which option should I choose - new phone or restore from backup? I would like to have all my contacts, email, etc. however wasn't sure that option was appropriate since it is a different/new number and a new phone.

Yes, as new iPhone then restore from backup.

Why is it that every time I connect my iphone into itunes, it always asks me if i want to "Set up as a new phone" or "restore from backup"?

Every time I plug in my iPhone 4 into iTunes, it always asks me if i want to "Set up as a new phone" or "restore from backup". But every time i click on restore from back up it deletes everything & that iTunes message is still there. Is something wrong with iTunes?

Apparently it does need to be restored because that is what it is requesting. You will need to restore it as New or from a recent backup if you made one.

I'm upgrading to the 5, do i set up a new phone or Restore from backup?

That depends if you want your current data on your new phone, then restore from backup. IF you don't then set up as new.

The same way they were put on the previous iPhone, sync them.

Just bought a new phone, and now I'm trying to activate it.

Hi,
Just got my new Blackberry in the mail, my old one is completely dead and I have all it's info backed up but not synced on my computer. Every time I call *228 I go through the activation process until it asks me for my password, which is when I try talking to CS. I get a busy signal and the call ends. So how do I activate my new phone/ put all my contacts on my new phone from the restore file I have for the old one?
Thanks

Do you not know the billing password? It's a 4 digit code that you set at some point when setting up accounts - it may be the last 4 of your SSN - you can try activating the phone online through your MyVerizon account.
Or you can call CS from a landline or other phone (800-922-0204) and see if they can activate it using the ESN inside the phone.
Once the phone is activated, you should be able to use your backups to get your new phone in working order.

HT201269 I bought a new 4GS and I'm trying to restore my apps and such. I've gone through the 'restore from backup' process twice and iTunes still wants to set up as a new phone or restore from backup. Help?

The title tells you my predicament. I can't put music and such on until I get past this screen in iTunes.

If iTunes is on the computer is giving you the option to 'Restore from backup' or 'Set up as new phone' then select 'Set up as new'
Basically, it's you telling iTunes that this is the first time this device has connected. You won't lose anything, and you'll then be able to sync.

HT201269 itunes said i dont have enough storage on new phone to restore from backup

i bought a new iphone 5s and want to restore from the backup from my old iphone 4. I backed up the old phone to my computer with itunes. When i try to restore it a message " not enough storage space available on phone" pops up. Is there a way to delete apps from the old backup to free some space? help please!

You cannot modify the backup once it is done. Did you purchase a new phone with a capacity smaller than the one that you backed up?

Just purchased second ipad. first one lost. Do I "set up" as a new ipad or restore from old ipad

Just replaced lost ipad with new ipad. Do I sign in as "new ipad" or restore previous ipad.?

Do you have a backup of the old ipad that you can restore too? IF you do then do a restore, if you don't thne set up as new ipad.
