I have backed up 3 apple phones to my itunes, how do i ensure all the information (photos, contacts etc) is available on my current iphone?
Good evening
I have 4 iphones backed up on my itunes account.
How can I ensure that all the information is on my current version i.e. contact and photos etc, I seem to be missing bits and bobs and certain contacts seem to disappear when icloud in enabled.
Any ideas?
Regards JHJ
It should be like the very first time you synced your phone with I-Tunes. It will notice you haven't synced before and just copy everything from your phone into I-Tunes. It shouldn't delete anything from the phone, at least it never has for me. It just puts a copy of everything into I-Tunes and even if you delete an app for example from your phone and you decide you want it back later, you can just go back into I-Tunes and copy it back over. Hope this helps.

I have an iPhone 4 and received the 5 today. I have hundreds of pictures and apps on the 4. How do I get all the apps, photos, contacts, etc. onto my new phone?
Can't you just Sync it to the Computer you usually Sync to...?

I have subscribed to I Tunes Match on my computer where I've been syncing and backing up my I Phone. Can I access my music before all the artwork is uploaded from my computer?
Hi,
You will no longer be able to sync manually with match. I would suggest that you wait until match has competed its process on your computer and that you are told how many tracks are in the cloud.
If you activate match on your iOS device too soon, you may find that all your tracks are not there. Ps it is not just artwork that is being uploaded, it's music as well.

Restore the iPhone from your backup.
See this -> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Then make sure you sync everything to your computer so you do not lose it. -
I have enabled photostream on my imac but only a small selection of old photos from my iphone have streamed through. How do i get all the existing photos from both my iphone and ipad onto my iMac?
This usually happens because iCloud only keeps photo stream photos for 30 days (even though your last 1000 photos will remain on your phone until deleted). When you enabled photo stream on your Mac you only received photo stream photos from the last 30 days.
To get older photos to your Mac, create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99). The be sure you check Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream. You can then import them to your iPhoto library by opening the shared photo stream album in iPhoto, then going to Edit>Select All, Control-clicking on any of the selected photos and selecting Import. -
How do I access all the information that has been backed up on icloud?
I backed up my informaiton to icloud. My ipad is no longer working (due to an accident). How to I access all the data I stored on icloud from my regular PC?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't, backups are for restoring an iOS device. -
I am moving all of my iphoto pictures into seperate folders becuase iphoto is great, but a bit cumbersome when I need to transfer all the pictures to a external drive.
1) After I move all pictures, how can I delete the iphoto pictures without destroying the ones I have in files
2) how can I ensure that I have sucessfully captures all the iphoto files so when I delelte from iphoto I have not forgotten any
3) is there a way to determine what duplicate pictures I have?
Thanks!If you Control click on the iPhoto Library, you'll see a list of folders - one named "Masters". Inside of this folder are all of your original, high-res photos. You can copy them to other folders if you like.
You can't delete iPhoto pics without deleting the ones in the iPhoto Library.
You can copy all of your Masters pics out of the Library, ensuring that you won't forget any.
I don't know of anyway to determine if there are duplicate photos - most (if not all) have a unique name assigned.
Good luck,

I inherited an I-Pod classic (80g) and would like to get it back to the factory settings (as if it were new). Is it possible to do so and how do I do it? Do I need to have an Apple store do it for me? I also own two 160g I-Pods so I don't want to go into my computers and possibly mess up those libraries. Any help will be appreciated.

How can I delete all the duplicate photos I have in iPhoto? There are hundreds.....
Can anyone help me? I have noticed a large number of duplicate photos appearing in my iPhoto.... probably after we have connected several iOS devices that are synced. Is there a way for iPhoto to identify all these? If not, is there a third party program? This is annoying, to say the least!

I would like to know if "Restore Backup" to my new phone will load up all the information I have which backed up from my other phone. I only "clicked" on "Backup" when I connected the new phone to my computer. I was afraid to click on "Restore Backup" to have all the other information I had from my other iPhone load up to my new iPhone. Hope you can help. What is the difference between "Backup" and "Restore Backup"; is all that different from synching.Thanks. Ana
That's up to you. Do you want the data on your old phone on your new phone? If so, you follow the directions here:

If you want to setup your new phone as a new device, then there is nothing you need to do. -
I tried to update my phone, but it died so i had to restore it. The only back up i had was from 2 months ago. How do i get all the settings back from that huge gap of me not syncing it?
Please read before going through with this procedure.
If you really want your contact back and you did not do another iCloud backap since you deleted some of your contacts, you can do a hard reboot on both devices with iClouded contacts by holding down the home and lock buttons on each of them for 10 seconds ignoring the slide to turn off thing. Make sure you have iCloud contact services off before doing so. You can then go through the whole set up process until you get up to the backup part. You then press to restore from an iCloud backup (make sure you choose the right backup for the right phone). If you didn't make an iCloud backup before the contact incident, you will have to use your two-month-old iTunes backups. Each phone should have their contacts the way they were from your last backup. You then go into Settings>iCloud>and turn off contacts. You then can choose if you want to keep your current contacts or not. Turn this off on both phones just incase you add another iCloud device to the mix later on. Now your contact lists are no longer linked (Caution: side effect may include lack of edit button). You may now add and delete contacts as you please without it happening on your other phone.
Thank you for choosing Apple. -

I have backed up my old phone to itunes, however, when I try to restore data to my new phone it is saying the password is incorrect but I can get into my itunes account with my password so I am doing something wrong?

How can I get all the stuff from my old iPad 2 to my new iPad 2? I have an apple id and have synced and backed up my old iPad 2 regularly.
Sky is right you can restore the old backup and it will not affect the old iPad
To make sure do this:
1. If you have the old one then just turn off wi-fi and the iPad (that's just for your peace of mind)
2. Put new iPad on airplane mode (just for no interruptions )
3. Connect it (while it's on, don't shut it down)
4. Follow prompts and when it asks if you want to setup as new or restore CHOOSE: RESTORE
5. It will make its magic (just wait for it to sync, restarts, and finishes) it might ask you to update software if it does just accept
6. You can rename your new iPad like that you can have a fresh back up
7. ENJOY your new iPad
----------OR-----------
1. Do the above steps 1, 2, 3.
2. On step 4 you can choose to set up as new
3. Then you can choose what to sync on it (click on iPad on the left panel then the tabs on top you choose what you want on it (you can also do that if you restore)
4. Follow steps 5, 6, 7.
****If you don't have your old iPad you can remove it from your account ****
****Also when they sync it to a new computer it will setup as new unless they had an old one then they will restore it their old one****
****if you have it connected with your MobileMe or iCloud and you have the find my _____ you can also wipe it as soon as it comes online****
LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS
AGAIN ENJOY YOUR NEW IPAD!!! -
