I need to transfer my contacts to my new 5s, how do i do that?

help?

Transfer them to your new 5s from where?
If from another iPhone, iPad or Mac and you only want to transfer contacts you can use iCloud to sync them. It can be done by going to Settings > iCloud and turning Contacts on in that screen. The contacts will then sync to https://www.icloud.com and you can then go to Settings > iCloud on the new phone and turn Contacts on there.
If you want to transfer more than just Contacts from another iOS device see the following: Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support

My dad died and I need to set the IPAD up as new. How do I do that?

My dad died last May and my mom gave me his iPad to use. I need to set the iPad up as new but having problems. I tried the online restore instructions using iTunes, but I can not read my dads apple password completely. I have his apple ID but the password he wrote down is in pencil and fuzzy to read 2 letters correctly. Does anyone know how to totally reset this?

Brian, thank so much for this info. I have been plugging along on the internet to find an answer to this puzzle before I had to go to the Apple store cuz I know it will cost some bucks to fix. I am on a starving artists income, so god love the internet cuz I finally found the solution on this link. I hope it can help others with the same problem like me. Step #1- I had the latest version of itunes on my pc originally cuz I have an ipod, but I ended up having to uninstall and reinstall the latest version. Than 2nd step I had to reset my host file too (do not ask me why, but follow this link's info for step 2)- thttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/972034
Here is the rest of the instructions on this link to now follow for step #3. http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/iosapps/how-hack-ipad-iphone-passcode-3504927/
I appreciate everyone's support on this matter, my thanks!

Everything should live on your computer. the iphone just allows your computers content to be portable. You should have been syncing them with your computer/cloud service from day one.
Have you failed to do this?

You do not put contacts into itunes at all.
Iphone syncs contacts with Outlook, Address Book, etc on your ocmputer, not itunes.

So the answer to my question is yes - from an old Exchange account that was provided by a previous employer.
If so, you can't.
You can't merge or transfer contacts that were synced over the air with an Exchange account with another account, and the same for syncing the contacts direct with a supported address book app on your computer. This is how most employers want it.

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.

HT201269 i just got my iphone5s. Icloud won't transfer my contacts to the new phone. what do i do?

What do I do when Icloud won't transfer my contacts to my new Iphone 5s?

MobileGo for iOS is a way easier way of transferring between iOS device if you've got a iphone 5s. did this yesterday myself, and it pulled all my contacts, messages, calendars, music, photos, videos and notes out of iTunes and organised them perfectly on my iPad.

I purchased an app on my computer and need to transfer to new IPad, how do I do that?

Yes - sync it with iTunes. You can also drag the App form the App section of iTunes to the iPad/iPhone once connected to your iTunes - this will force a sync.
You can also set Automatic Downloads on your iTunes on your mac and also on your phone/iPad. This will mean when you buy anything anywhere it will also download for the other places. I find it really handy.

Id My old Verizon phone did not have a cloud how can i transfer My contacts to My new phone?

Id My old Verizon phone did not have a cloud how can i transfer My contacts to My new phone?

What phones do you have (old and new?) If your old phone was backed up using Verizon's Backup assistant, the new phone should pick up those contacts, as the Verizon cloud has replaced Backup Assistant, or ratherm BUA has been "absorbed" by the Cloud.
Knowing which phones you are using will help us to give more specific information for transferring the contacts.

How can I transfer my contacts to my new iPhone 5s from my olds iPhone 5s

How can I transfer my contacts to my new iPhone 5s from my olds iPhone 5s?

Use your backup from your old iPhone to restore your new one (assuming you have done iCloud backups or in iTunes). Also try looking at this https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201269

I have itunes folder on Sony Vaio that has died. It has home sharing enabled.I need to transfer the library onto this new computer.I have i cloud but want the muin folder transferred to this computer. I have part of my i tunes folder on 2 back up drives.

I have itunes folder on Sony Vaio that is seriously unwell. I can start up in safe mode but that's all. It has home sharing enabled.I need to transfer the library onto this new computer before it completely gives up the ghost.I have i cloud but want the main folder transferred to this computer. I have part of my i tunes folder on 2 back up drives.
Can anyone help please

If the computer only starts in safte mode, it is highly unlikely that network functionality works.
Copy or move the ENTIRE iTunes folder (and any other personal data you want) to an external drive.

I downloaded iWork off the net and need to transfer it to my MacBook air. How do I do this?

I downloaded iWork off the net and need to transfer it to my MacBook air. How do I do this?

How did you download iWork off the internet? Was it from the app store or somewhere else? What device did you download it to? If an iDevice, such as iPad, it is not the same version as used by Mac OS X devices such as your MacBook. If that is the case, you need to purchase the Mac OS X version.
If you downloaded the Mac OS X version to one machine and want it on your MB now, go to the Mac app store and click on purchases and download to the MB.

Which is it? Is "it" incompatible or is the backup corrupt?
