HT201302 transfer photos and apps to new phone
so i activated my new iphone 5 today and seem to be having a problem. After i backed my old iphone 4 information to my computer i plugged in my new phone transfer all content over. The only thing that transferred were the contacts! is this normal? all of my pictures, apps, and content are not showing. I contacted apple and they basically told me to go in itunes under edit and preferences and check some boxes whih i have done. However, when i am connecting the new phone to to computer it still doesn't want to sink the content?
@Balairo, what make/model phone did you have? Some devices have a memory card that you can transfer from the old phone to insurance replacement phone. I apologize that if the screen is non functional, there is no other additional option other than connecting it to a computer to upload your pictures to a PC. I hope this information is helpful to you. ^LH

How do i transfer photos and contacts from another phone to iPhone
Ive ordered the new 4s and currently have the Galaxy II. how do i transfer photos and contacts from another phone to iPhone?
You will have to do it via either a computer or online storage such as Dropbox. You cannot transfer data directly from phone to iPhone.

Forgot to transfer pics and videos to new phone before activating... HELP!!
I need to know if there is some alternative way to pull my photos and video off my old phone now that it's been de-activated. I backed up my contacts and those transferred but I completely forgot about pics and video. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
-kvanIf your phone is SD card capable then you can transfer them using it. If not you can reactivate the old phone, text them to your email, then to the new phone. Or possibly by connecting the old phone to the computer and downloading them that way.

Transfer Users and apps on new drive
I bought a Solid state drive and want to use it only as a start up and to use my apps on, I was going to use migrate assistant but it wants to transfer everything.
Anyone have any ideas to get all my settings etc to the other drive while using the second drive with itunes.
My back-up is a 2TB drive and the SSd is 120g.Move the home account or just the media data to another hard drive.
User Account control panel (unlock advanced options) lets you point to any location for your home_account. -
I just bought an iPhone 5. My iPhone 4 has all my music on it, mail, mms, sms, notes, videos, photos and apps. How do I transfer the music etc to my new iPhone? - icloud? - homesharing?
I just bought an iPhone5
To ensure my old iPhon4 was backed up i...
1. Deleted the iPhone4 backup from iTunes prefs(devices)
2. I then sycnched the iPhone4 to get a new backup of the old Phone.
I then installed my new iPhone5 from the fresh backup of the old iPhone4
This way i got my new iPhone5 exactly as my old iPhone4
Screens all looked the same, EVERYTHING the same.
Some minor adjustments were needed afterwards.
Hope this helps. -

iPad Air iOS8.0.2. I used the photos app to edit my photos and created a new album for them. When I transfer my photos to my PC via cable (not allowed to use cloud services by my boss) I cannot choose this edited album, only transfer the unedited versions. Any tips? Thanks!
Hi Anjohi,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you've edited photos on your iPad and only see the original version when you import them to your computer, the tips in this article may help:
iOS: Edited photos show original photo after import or in other apps
All the best,

An update was requested in my iphone settings to sync my iphone with itunes. In my attempt to do this, I chose to sync with my old phone and lost all recent photos and apps. Is there any way to reverse this mess and retrieve what I had?
So, what i need to is
1. Check my iphone backup first if avaiable
2. Do ' restore ' my iphone at itunes
Is it correct?
After i do all of this, what is the next step? Is it
1. Just plug in back my iphone and itunes will automatically sync asking to use a backup ipnone?
Or need to do manually?
Make me confuse is, if i do all the step as previous mention, but pc still recognize my iphone as a ipod everytime i plug in into itunes.
How if i in pc dont have my iphone backup ? Because since first time plug in into itunes, i was used the ipod backup?
Sorry to ask too much since i really need help from your guys -
I purchased extra icloud storage to back up my phone and phots. Purchased a new phone and went to pull my photos from icloud and only a portion trasferred to my new phone. How do I get all of the photos moved to my new phone?
Not photos, just data synced with iCloud shown in Settings>iCloud. If you don't have sufficient storage to back up to iCloud, back up to your computer instead using iTunes (connect you phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to ths Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now). Also transfer your purchases to your iTunes library (connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases). If you have photo stream photos older than 30 days tha you wan to save, save these to your camera roll before backing up (tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).
When setting up your new phone, when given the option choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore the backup you made earlier. -
Me and my partner are currently using the same apple id and have no space left on our devices. We are currently waiting on the iphone 6 plus to arrive and don't know how to transfer all data to the new phones.?
I don't know if I'm asking this all in a way that can be understood? Thanks ED3K, however that part I do understand (in the link you provided!)
What I need to know is "how" I can separate or rather create another Apple ID for my son-who is currently using "my Apple ID?" If there is a way to let him keep "all" his info on his phone (eg-contacts, music, app's, etc.) without doing a "reset?') Somehow I need to go into his phone's setting-create a new Apple ID and possibly a new password so he can still use our combined iCloud & Itunes account?
Also then letting me take back my Apple ID & password, but again allowing us (my son and I) to use the same iCloud & Itunes account? Does that make more sense??? I'm sincerely trying to get this cleared up once and for all----just need guidance from someone who has a true understanding of the whole Apple iCloud/Itunes system!
Thanks again for "anyone" that can help me!!! -
i damaged my iphone 5 and have been sent a new one, but i do not have enough storage to back up my phone and do not want to pay for more storage. can i get all of my contacts, photos, etc. on my new phone just by logging into my icloud account?
Not photos, just data synced with iCloud shown in Settings>iCloud.

Bought a new 4s and need to transfer photos from iCloud to new device. iCloud is giving me an old @me address. I do not have the email or pw for the iCloud account. How do I retrieve this information? Thanks.
If you need to change the iCloud ID on your new phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Music, photos, and apps lost after upgrading on new computer
Someone please help! I just upgraded 3G to 3.1.3 on new computer and lost all my music, photos, and apps. Is there anyway I can get them back. I backed up my phone before the upgrade, the phone was wiped clean, then retored to original settings, then it restored to back up, but I lost all the above in the process. Thanks Sheila
By design, the iPhone syncs iTunes-managed media content (music, videos, apps, photos) with _one and only one_ computer. That content was erased from the phone. The backup won't help - iTunes content is not backed up. You need to sync to the computer you synced to +prior to+ upgrading (the 'old computer'). Or, move your iTunes library, etc., from the old computer to the new computer and sync to that.

How do I backup my iPhone to a new pc without losing photos and apps
How do I backup my iPhone to a new pc without losing photos and apps and ringtones?
My old pc is dead
I am not concerned about music
Help!!!!!
When my phone was plugged in to new pc it gave a message that said I would lose all info on phone to current clean iTunes.Hello
This is my first time on a community notice board such as this
I'm stumped and hope someone can help
My iphone just wont back up on my PC - and I've tried deleting the old backup on the Edit/Preferences tab in iTunes - in fact there is no backup for this device listed there at all.
Without being able to backup, my iphone can't sync, so i can't get music onto it - which was one of the whole blessed points of the bloomin investment.
Can you help?
(Why am I so annoyed at this technology that does not work?)
Cheers
Andrew
