HT201269 If i transfer everything to my new iphone will my text messages transfer also?

If i transfer everything to my new iphone by itunes and back everything up will my text messages transfer also?

Yes. I suggest doing the backup/restore to itunes, not icloud. But before doing the backup, also back up to icloud as a safety measure. If icloud restore has problems (but often icloud restores have more problems), then do the restore from icloud.

"Messages" doesn't sync old messages from my iphone

Hello there,
I've got a problem since few weeks. Actually Messages app from my macbook doesn't sync old messages from my iPhone. It does sync new messages, that i'm sending from now, but it didn't take the olds. I would like to sync everything, knowing that "Messages" has very old messages which aren't more on my iPhone and that I want to keep.
So to resume : Messages app has got very old messages. My iPhone has got new ones. Very new text messages (since today) are saved on both. And I want to sync on Messages app messages which aren't there.
I hope it's understandable, sorry for my english ^^
Maurice.

Hi,
Messages on the Mac will only sync iMessages from the time the iPhone and a Mac are linked by adding the Apple ID to the iPhone and then the pop up accepted on the Mac to add the iPhone number to the list of Alternatives.
This means that a New Mac will not get older iMessages from the server (They actually no longer exist).
iMessages are "duplicated" at the iMessages Severs and sent out (pushed) to the specific devices.
Once that device has received the iMessage the iMessages is deleted from the server
This may mean an iPhone has an iMessages and that "version" has been deleted from the iMessages server - whilst a version that is going to be sent to the Mac is waiting for the Mac to respond so it's version can be sent.
iMessages are Pushed as it is called from the servers and not "fetched" like email are in the Mail app.
So...
A New iPhone will not get "old" iMessages that still show on a Mac.
If the Mac is New (or the Mac User accounts is new) and the iPhone has the "old" iMessages the Mac will only see/sync the "new" iMessages.
There are ways of using iTunes to Save a Backup of the iPhone and tools that can be downloaded to "Save" older Messages to the Mac if they have not synced in Messages.
However there is no method to get older iMessages on the Mac to put them on an iPhone

Moving your iTunes library to a new computer

Why can't icloud or itunes take my outlook information so I can transfer it to my new iphone?

why can't icloud or itunes take my outlook information so I can transfer it to my new iphone?

Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now?

Will apple store transfer my music to new iphone for me

will the apple store transfer my music to new iphone for me?

Do this:
Create a separate user account for you. Launch iTunes, then Store>Authorize this Computer. Then:
By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are using a new computer, your phone will see this computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so:
http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under Preferences>Devices in itunes(under the edit menu if using Windows).
2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Outlook, Windows Address Book) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
3. Connect your phone, iTunes running, do not sync at this point.
4. Store>Authorize this computer.
5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
7. Right click again and select backup.
8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
You should be good to go.

I recently aquired a new iphone 4s because my old one broke. I backed it up on my itunes but now it wont give me the option of using the phone, it just says connect to itunes. I have synced it several times now and dont know what to do, please help me!!

I recently created a new apple ID
Bad idea.
Content bought with an Apple ID is forever associated with that Apple ID. Apple will not transfer content from one Apple ID to another and Apple will not merge Apple IDs. Unless you are prepared to forfeit all the previously purchased content and buy it all again with the new Apple ID, you will need to maintain the old ID to update and redownload your content.

HT201269 I have purchased a new iphone and backed up the material from my old phone. Only some of the notes and none of the photos have Synced but all of the Apps have transferred. i need to locate the notes and photos. Do you know what I do now.nsferred

Doesn't sound like your restored from your backup, otherwise pics in your camera roll would've transfer over.
Take a look at the link and double check you did the correct steps.

How to only transfer contacts to my new iPhone from my old iPhone?

I'm getting a new iPhone 5s soon, and I'm insure how to transfer just the contacts and not all the setting. All I want on there from my old iPhone is the photos and contacts, photos are sorted but contacts aren't. If I use a backup from icloud it would just restore the setting, so how do I transfer all my old contacts easily to my new phone?

One option is to sync the contacts to iCloud. When you setup iCloud on your new phone they will automatically sync from iCloud to it. Instructions: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html

BTW. The old ipod is on one computer and my new iphone 4 is on another computer.
Anyone that can help?

Here is one way which will also transfer playcount, playlists, etc. Do it this way and your iTunes library will be identical on both computers.

Sorry you can't. Looks like your phone restore to an older backup.
future reference import your pics to your PC, that way you can always sync it back using itunes
