I am upgrading my iphone 3 to and iphone 4s - how do i transfer my contacts?
I want to transfer my contacts from my old iphone 3 to my new one (4s) - how do i do it?
iPhone 3 is ambiguous - you might mean iPhone 3G or you might mean iPhone 3GS.
If you mean iPhone 3GS, I'm sure this will work, but if you mean iPhone 3G, I'm not so sure.
Assuming your old iPhone has the latest iOS version it can support, sign up for iCloud. Use iCloud to house your contacts. Then when you set up your iPhone 4S, presumably using the latest iOS (6.0.2), you can simply pick up all your contacts from iCloud.
Enjoy your new iPhone!

how do i transfer information (contacts, etc.) from old iphone 3 to new 4gs?
Assuming that you've been syncing your iPhone 3 to your computer/iTunes, plug it in one last time and let it backup. Then plug in your 4S, and when 'setting up phone' choose the latest backup.
Let me know if that doesn't make sense or something doesn't work! -

Hi Somayehh,
You can sync your iPhone’s contacts with your computer by following the instructions in this article -

or with a Mac -

If you have iCloud set up on your phone, you can use it to sync your contacts to another iOS device such as an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

I upgraded from 4 to 5s and now I cannot retrieve my photos or contacts?
Did you restore the backup of your iPhone 4 to your 5s? That's how you transfer the settings, data and purchased media to your new phone. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109.

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. -

My iphone contacts got synced with my daughter's ipod contacts and she deleted my contacts and now they are gone from my iphone. How do I recover my contacts?
First, your daughter needs her own iCloud account, otherwise her ipod will sync will all your data (email, calendars, contacts...). If you have a backup or a copy on your computer, you could turn off iCloud syncing on your iphone, then restore from your contacts via iTunes. After you get a new account for daughter, you can then turn on iCloud.

How do I transfer my contacts and photos from my iPhone to my iPad?
How do I transfer my contacts and photos from my iPhone to my iPad?
Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer, which is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Select the same under the Info tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync and the contacts in the supported address book application on your computer which are also available on your iPhone will be transferred to your iPad.
Photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. After the photos are imported by your computer and placed in a designated folder or album on your computer, select this album or folder under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes along with any other photos on your computer that you want transferred to your iPad followed by a sync. -
Hi, I have a contract with Orange on my iPhone 4s and I have bought a sim free iPhone 5, how do I transfer the sim accross?
Will I need to ask Orange to provide me with a free nano sim and then ask them to transfer the number to that new sim?
Thanks!If you buy the phone unlocked / SIM free from Apple it will not come with a SIM.
You will need to contact Orange (how is up to you), to get a nano-SIM and then get them to transfer your phone account and number from the old SIM to the new.
With O2, you can do this in an O2 Store, over the telephone, over the internet or via text message. Perhaps it is the same with Orange. No matter what though, you'll have to contact Orange to get a nano SIM so ask them the process at the same time. -
How do i transfer my contacts, messages, notes and calendars between my iphones?
How do i transfer my contacts, messages, notes and calendars between my iphones?
Hi,
Contacts, Notes and Calendars can be done through iCloud or iTunes.
Messages tend not to be transferable.
However If you have linked your iPhone Number with an Apple ID in Messages AND start from a position of no message ("history", old Messages) on the phones then the iMessages service will sync subsequent iMessages (only the iMessages)
iMessages are the ones that go to other iPhones, or iPads or some iPod Touches or the Messages beta on some Lion computers.
Plain SMS messages to other type of Phone or apps are not synced.

How do i transfer my contacts from my iphone 3gs to the new iphone 4s?
How do I transfer my contacts etc from my iphone 3gs to iphone 4s ?
You do it via iTunes on your Mac or PC (by syncing the contacts to the equivalent desktop app), or via iCloud (but you'd need to upgrade the 3GS to iOS5 and open an iCloud account).
With iTunes, sync the 3GS, then connect the 4s and sync it
There are utilities like PhoneView (Mac) and others that will allow you to extract the data from your 3GS, but iTunes or iCloud are the preferred methods.
I should add that, if you're not using iTunes to sync your phone, you're at risk of losing data.
