I backed up my old phone to my computer, but how do i get all the info onto the new phone

i got my new phone. i backed up the old phone onto the competer. everything is in itunes. but when i plugged the new phone and did the sync it didnt back up any newer stuff. just older stuff. i dont wanna lose any pics or info. its acting as if there two different phones and not syncing the old phones info from the computerto the new iphone

iTunes will recognize your new phone as a different device from your old phone. Do you have any information on your new phone that you want to save? Restoring to the backup of your old phone will overwrite your data and settings with those of your old phone. If you want to save any data on your new phone, you'll need to do this first. After doing so, connect it to iTunes, right-click on the name of your phone on the left side and select Restore from Backup, when prompted, selecte the backup of your old phone to restore from.

I got my husbands library from his old iphone to my computer, but how do i get my library to his iphone

i got my husbands library to my library on my computer ,, but how do i get my library to his old iphone

This is the method I would normally recommend:
Backup with this User Tip, restore the library to the new computer using the same tool, keep the backup up-to-date in future. Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer need to access protected content on it.
You can use your iPod classic to move your library to a new computer but if you don't already have a backup copy of the library (and your other important data) now is the time to think about it.

My old PC crashed, how do I get all my bookmarks onto my new PC?

Does Firefox store all my bookmarks somewhere so that I can retrieve them onto my new PC? If not, I have a copy of most of my bookmarks in a folder in Windows Explorer, how do I import them, en mass, to my new bookmarks?

Thanks, but, unless I didn't read the hints correctly, your suggestion did not fit my situation -- my old PC is dead, I can't transfer anything from that physical equipment. I had hundreds of bookmarks on it that are not in my bookmarks on Firefox now. Is there a way to get those bookmarks back?
If not, I do have some bookmarks saved in folders in Windows Explorer, but when I try to import them, it seem to want to import one bookmark at a time instead of import all of them at once.

My iCloud contact list does not contain all the contacts listed in my iPhone 5S. If I delete a contact from the phone it instantly deletes it from the iCloud on my PC. But my PC iCloud list is lacking many of the contacts on my phone.

And which account did you enter these contacts in?
On My Mac
or
iCloud?

If you have a backup from an old device, restore the backup to your new one. To get data in your iCloud account on your device, sign into your iCloud account in Settings>iCloud on your new device.

I need to install my back up iCloud info onto a new phone with the same sim in and then erase old phone from my account. How can I do this?

When you setup the new phone restore it from the iCloud backup from your old phone.
Then, on your old phone, use Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.

You should call Apple Support and give them your Apple ID so that they can verify how many photos you actually do have backed up in iCloud...
Also, are you able to do an iTunes backup at all? Because that would save all of the photos and allow you to get them onto the new device.
Apple Support number is

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

In between my new iPhone and a old one, I used a replacement iPhone. On the replacement phone there were two backups created. I have a new iPhone now, but only the 2 old backups from my replancement phone. How do I get a older backup on my new phone?

Not sure where you backup to.
ITunes keeps the latest backup only.
Icloud keeps the 3 last backup.

HT1386 I want to give me old iphone 4 to my daughter and need to get all her info from her old iphone onto a new computer. The PC she synced with is dead and she does not want to loose all her contacts and music.

I want to give my old iphone 4 to my daughter and need to get all her info from her old iphone 3 onto a new computer. The PC she synced with is dead and she does not want to loose all her contacts and music. How can I do this?

To effectively transfer ownership of the iPhone requires that it be "restored" as a new device.
... The PC she synced with is dead
The iPhone is not a backup device. Your computer backs up the iPhone, not the other way around. What you use to back up your computer is up to you - Macs use Time Machine. I assume PCs use something similar.
If her PC backup is dead you will have difficulty extracting content from the iPhone since it is not designed to work that way.
All her Apple purchases can easily be transferred to another iPhone. However, her contacts will be gone, as will any music or other contact obtained from sources other than Apple.
There are a number of third party utilities that claim to be able to extract content from an iPhone. See wjosten's procedure here:

Most Windows users don't.
Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer.
