  • How can I get my new iPhone to update with backup from old iPhone and not iPad?

    Hi. I just got a new iPhone 4S to replace my old iPhone 3GS. For some reason when I tried using setting up my new phone from the backup of m old phone it put a backup of my iPad. Is there a way I can retrieve this data for the phone? I didn't have any contacts with the ipad backup, just the phone and I really need them.
    Thanks!

  • HT201269 Advice on how to transfer EVERYTHING from old iphone to new....

    Hi guys,
    I've just upgraded from an iPhone 4 16gb to an iPhone 4S 64gb (simply due to space) and I want the new phone to have everything that the old one has on it, including LOADS of music imported from CD's, and ebooks not purchased from iBooks, but copied onto my iPhone from CD's/DVD's that I've bought elsewhere.
    I'm figuring that I need to basically make the iTunes on my laptop a duplicate of my iPhone rather than the other way round, but I have no idea how to do this.
    I've tried doing a backup of the iphone onto the computer but it conveniently leaves out unpurchased items.
    Also, I should say, that some purchased books/songs are not being transfered as the "files are not found".
    Any advice would be muchly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply. I've been doing this all morning but it still isn't transfering everything.
    When I click on the "on this iPhone" tab all my stuff is there. It's just not coming up when I go into the "music" or "books" tabs. I don't want to "sync" the iPhone in case it deletes what I've got on the phone and replaces it with what's currently showing up as being on iTunes (ie, not all my books, and a whole stash of songs that have the "!" beside them because the file cannot be found.... pulling my hair out..... :'(

  • HT201269 Don't want to lose content on new iPhone when restoring from old iPhone

    If I follow the steps described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109 will I lose the contacts, apps, photos and videos that are already set up on my new iPhone?

    Some ideas on preserving your data on your new phone prior to restoring the old backup...
    Follow this guide to import your photos and videos: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  You can sync these back to your phone later with iTunes.  Connect to iTunes, right-click on your phone and choose Transfer Purchases to import any apps not already in your iTunes library.  You can use the free app My Contacts Backup to back up your contacts.  This will back up your contacts as an attachment to an email.  Send this email to yourself and you can later open it on your iphone (after restoring) and tap on the attachment to import these contacts back to your phone.

  • HT201269 Transferring information from non iPhone,  to a new iPhone device

    Transferring information from non iPhone,  to a new iPhone device?

    What kind of info? It is kinda hard to help with so few details to go on.

  • Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

    Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

    Yes, it will. You cannot merge information on the phone. If you want the old messages, you will need to restore from a backup of the old phone, which will make the new phone look just like the old phone. If you want to save the messages from the new phone, you will not be able to get the messages from the old phone.

  • HT1766 After I backed up my new iPhone with content from my old iPhone, all of my new content was deleted. How do I retrieve it?

    After backing up my new iPhone with content from my old iPhone, all of my new content (photos, voice memos, etc) was deleted. How do I retreive this?

    If you just bought the iPhone today, the first time you connect a new iPhone or iOS device to iTunes the first time that is used to sync with another iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iOS device to the new iOS device, or set up the new device as a new device.
    Sounds like you did the former and if so, this did not include backing up the new iPhone first. All data on the iPhone was replaced with the backup for the iPod Touch. The data that was on the iPhone at that time is gone.

  • Removing registered user from old iphone and setting new user on it

    Ya i had a Iphone 3g and updated to the iphone 4 and got all set up it no prob then cleard the 3g and gave it to my sister and she synced it to her library no prob but when she goes to download a app it asks for my log in

    How did you clear the iPhone 3G?
    Was it cleared by restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the iPhone's backup with iTunes on your computer, or did you use the erase all content and settings option on the iPhone?
    If she is logged in to iTunes with her iTunes account on her computer and her computer has not been authorized with your iTunes account with iTunes, then your iTunes account should no longer be available on the iPhone.

  • I recently upgraded from my iPhone 3 to iPhone 4S. My old iPhone had been unable to sync for some time and I blamed it on the faulty cable. With my new cable I tried to sync the 3 before advancing to the 4S to be sure I had all my data. Will not sync.

    I recently upgraded from my iPhone 3 to iPhone 4s. My old iPhone had not completed a sync in some time because of a faulty cable. But the old phone still will not sync properly even with the new cable.
    Now that I have my new iPhone, I would like to first sync the old phone so all the data will be available for the new phone. I would also like to have an extra copy of my audio ebooks on the old iPhone so my husband and I can both listen at the same time using earphones while driving long distances in the car and then discuss the book. We have been unable to do this with the old iPhone alone due to constant road noise.

    I'm not sure what made the difference, but I tried again and it worked this time. ???????????

  • HT201269 How to transfer all info from old iPhone to new iPhone 5

    HOw do I transfer all data from old iPhone to iPhone 5

    Randers -
    I'm trying to move data/restore my new ATT 5 from my old 3G. I had to use iTunes and I followed the directions in the link a couple posts above, but I never got the option at step 5 to "restore from a Backup".  instead I got a confirmation page that xxx-xxx-xxxx was my phone number. i said yes.
    how do i restore from the old 3G now? (one point the 3g was running ios 5.1.1, not sure if that matters).
    appreciate any help/advice

  • How can you retrieve information from a iCloud backup on a previous iPhone? Backup from old phone is taking up a lot of space, would like to save pics to computer before deleting. How can I open up the backup from previous phone that is now on the iCloud?

    I originally had an iPhone 4 but switched service carriers back in June.  When I bought the new iPhone 4s, all my information from the iPhone 4 was saved as a backup on the iCloud.  On my new phone in the iCloud settings, Storage & Backup, it shows the backup from the iPhone 4.  This backup is taking up a lot of space on my phone and I would like to delete to avoid having to purchase more space.  However, I know I have pictures on this backup from the iPhone 4 that I would like to view and save on my computer if at all possible before deleting.  Is it possible to view the photos from this backup? If so, how? Thank you in advance for any assistance.  I hope this makes sense, lol, I'm not very computer literate.

    Unfortunately with the issues I mentioned above I don't even think I have enough space for that on the computer!  I have literally moved all moy pictures, music, etc. to another drive and all that's left are some small docs and applications.  I don't know how to find any more space on the thing and can't get things updated until I fix this...

  • For windows users,  best way to transfer photos from old iphone to new iphone

    I have a friend who just purchased new iphone and she'd like to transfer photos from old iphone to new iphone.
    What is the best steps for her to take?
    She has a Windows machine.
    thanks in advance!!!

    Make sure iTunes is loaded on the PC
    If all she wants are photos, she has to have the photos on her PC, not just on the old phone.  The old iPhone backup doesn't save the actual photos, just the setting pointing to where the photos came from.
    If the photos are on her PC, your should be able to sync them to the new iPhone with the Photos tab in iTunes (after the new phone is plugged in).
    If the photos aren't on her computer, she can copy them from whatever computer has them (assuming she has access to it).
