HT4847 Data migration to new iphone

i have bought a new iphone 5 but set it up without using my old iphone 4 data which is backed up onicloud. I now want to import teh data especially contacts and dont know how as apple provides only info how to do it during set up.
help!

Contacts are part of iCloud and as such you should only need to enable iCloud in order to be able to use your contacts, calendars etc etc.
If you require any other data from your iPhone 4 backup, you will have to restore the whole device, which is done by performing an "Erase all content and settings".

  • HT4847 I changed my iPhone from an IPhone 4 to an iPhone 5. How do I delete my iCloud account on my old phone without losing all the data on my new iPhone 5?

    If you have any photo stream photos on your old phone that you want to keep you might want to save them to the camera roll, then import them to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) before deleting the account.  The reason for this is that photo stream photos are only kept in iCloud for 30 days.  When you enable photo stream on your new phone you will only receive photo stream photos from the last 30 days as older photos are no longer in iCloud.

  • I'm waiting for my new iPhone 5s to be delivered. I lost my iPhone 5 but did have it backed up on my MacBook Pro. I was using iOS6 at the time. Will I have a problem restoring the data to my new iPhone 5s assuming it will come with iOS7?

    No, you should not.  There are problems trying to go the other way, but updating a newer iOS release from a backup of an older iOS release has always been supported and is the basic means of setting up a new device from a previous one.

  • Restoring Apps AND Data back to "New" iPhone

    I just got an iPhone 3GS a few weeks ago and, since I'd been using an iPod Touch for a year, I simply transferred over that data to my new iPhone using "restore from backup." Somewhere along the way I was also prompted to upgrade to iPhone 3.1.2. However, the whole time I've been using my iPhone it's been freezing up a bit, responding sluggishly (sometimes taking a few seconds), or refusing to send mail even when it has perfect reception. I'm getting sick of this and it seems pointless.
    I DO have a lot of apps, but I doubt that's really the problem. I am thinking I should finally bite the bullet and wipe the phone, restore and set up as a "new iPhone." But I'm very worried I won't be able to get back my Application DATA-- all that juicy stuff I have stored in my budget apps, databases, etc. Is there any way to restore my iPhone to factory settings and then reinstall these apps including all their data, but without dragging whatever might be corrupt and slowing things down?

    OK, thanks for the quick reply, that's quite helpful. Just to clarify, then: Do you think it would mean anything then to do a restore of my iPhone to factory settings and then reimport from the previous backup? Would it reset anything or would it basically end up reproducing the iPhone as it was before I started the process?
    If it's not going to do anything to improve the situation, I guess there's no point in doing it that way, and maybe I should try some Genius Bar help or just sacrificing some app data in order to get the iPhone up to speed first for ongoing use.

  • How can I get my all my data on my new iphone 5?

    I have a huge problem. Just received my iphone 5 today. I have an iphone 4 currently running v 4.2.1. I have not been able to update due to computer issues with my mac (I was planning to buy a new mac in the next few months so I didn't worry about it). I can't get cloud back up on my iphone 4. I can't sync my new iphone 5 to my mac because of it does not have the new version downloaded on it.
    Am I stuck with this problem? Is there a solution to get all my data onto my new iphone?

    There is no solution, not if your existing Mac is not able to run a compatible OS X and iTunes version.

  • Upgraded from Iphone 4 to 4s.  old phone backed up to iCloud.  How do I restore that data to my new iphone?

    I just upgraded from the iPhone 4 to 4s.  I had backed up the old phone backed up to iCloud.  How do I restore that data to my new iphone?  Even though I had photostream on, it never synched.  I installed iCloud for the pc and can see the backup up in the cloud.  I just want to get all the data to the new phone. 

    When you go through the new phone setup, it should ask if you want to setup as new or restore from iCloud. If you have already setup as new, you will have to reset the 4S to factory settings, and go through setup again.

  • I have an iPhone 3GS that I dropped in water. It still does everything but get service, can I back it up and transfer its data to a new iPhone 3GS? I heard something about how loading a backup from a water damaged phone could mess up the new one...

    I have an iPhone 3GS that I dropped in water for a moment. After drying it and everything, it still does everything but get service. Can I back it up and transfer its data to a new iPhone 3GS? I heard something about how loading a backup from a water damaged phone could mess up the new one... is this true? I would truly appreciate the help, please let me know, thanks!

    Sounds like your phone is in recovery mode.  In this case, all data on it is gone.  There's nothing to back up.

    I HAVE BEEN USING AN IPHONE 4 AND I JUST TRANSFERRED ALL MY DATA TO A NEW IPHONES.
    IN THE OLD IPHONE I HAD 2 YAHOO AVVOUNTS RECEIVING MAILS.
    IN THE NEW IPHONE I CANNOT REGISTER MY SECOND YAHOO ADDRESS ,I KEEP RECEIVING THE MESSAGE THAT YAHOO SERVER CANNOT BE FOUND.
    CAN ANYBODY HELP?

    The reason, I included the annotation that I'd upgraded my Itunes, (On my Computer) is B/C in many forums - the very first question, *HELPERS* ask, is. "Do you have the latest version of Itunes downloaded on your computer." I wanted to knock out any obvious replies.
    Now-  "DO YOU have any idea,"... how your UNHELPFUL remarks, do absolutely nothing but hurt others that might not have the EXPERIENCE you have? How do you expect people to know things without asking questions? Whew! RUDE!!

  • Confuse on PR & PO data migration approach new to MM module

    Hi All,
    I'm pretty confuse with the PO data migration approach when it comes to PO is GR or partial GR or GR&IR. I'm hoping that someone can enlighten me. i understand that we typically don't migrate PO when it is GR & IR, FI team usually will bring over to the new system as an vendor open item in AP. How about the PR or PO which have gone through or half release strategy? What is the follow up process?  I have created a criteria table below. How Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

    Regards,

    Hi John,
    The approach that i have followed recently is that we have considered PO as the base document and converted other documents based on the PO condition. This means you first need to see if the PO is to be converted or not. Then you can proceed to convert the related documents like PR, Agreement, Info record, Source list, etc.
    Also open qty for PO should be considered for Material and Service line items both.
    Once a GR/SES is created, it gets updated in the PO history table EKBE with its related transaction/event type.i.e. EKBE-VGABE = 1 for GR and 9 for SES. Quantity and value also gets updated in case of material and services. You can compare this consumed quantities with PO quantity.
    Please see below from SCN and let me know if you need more info on PR or PO conversion.

  • I have just bought a new iphone 4 as an upgrade to my iphone 3GS.  How can I transfer all my apps and data to the new iphone 4 and keep facetime etc on the new iphone 4.  If I do a restore of the iphone 3GS I only get the 3GS apps (i.e. no facetime)
