If I got a new iphone because my old iphone is broken. How do i get my old contacts?

I have a new Iphone. How do I get my old contacts on the new one. My computer says new iphone and does not show the old stuff.

Then my guess is that you chose not to upload them to your iTunes after you purchased them on your phone and then synched. There is an option somewhere, and it's asked me before, if you want to transfer your iPhone purchases to your iTunes account on the computer. I always do so that I will have a backup.
BUT, good news. As far as I know, you are allowed to redownload them all and you will not be charged, as long as you are using the same iTunes account. But as far as knowing what applications you had, you'd just have to get the history like the others stated.

HT5624 Got a new iphone 5 today, how do I get Facebook to work on it? It keeps taking me to the iphone store or itunes store, and I enter everything and there is still no FB icon. Although when I use SIRI it posts to my FB page. Any thoughts?

I just bought an iphone 5 and am trying to put my facebook page on it, it keeps taking me back to the itune store, and all my passwords are correct, but there is no icon to touch on. SIRI works and posts to my FB page, how do I get the FB page to the phone though?

This is a user to user support forum. We are all iphone users just like you.
You are not addressing Apple here at all.
This is an odd way to ask your fellow iphone users for help. Berating oterh users will not help you.
"it's too fragile"
No it is not. i have never damaged one, nor has anyone I know.
" U loose data when Ur phone is locked"
No you don't. Why do you think this?
"and there is no customer support!!! "
Wrong yet again. Apple has an 800 number and they have many retail stores and they have support articles that you can access using the search bar. Or you can contact them throgh express lane online
"but I will go back with Blackberry "
Please do.
Good ridance

You are allowed to have two activted installations, so if the first machine is the only machine with an activated installation there is nothing prohibiting you from installing and activating on the new machine.
You can contact Adobe Support thru chat to have the old installation deactivation.

Sync the content to the device the same way you always have.
Or maybe it would be a good idea to read the manual and understand the proper way (according to Apple) to use the device.

HT1766 I have some ringtones on my iPhone 5 and I want to get them on my new iPhone 5s. How do I get them? iTunes is trying to make me buy them again. I am using the same account and I didn't have this problems with any of my music. Help anyone ? :)

Is this a common question asked, or am I the only one have this problem?

Transfer them to your computer using File>Transfer Purchases in iTunes, then sync them to the new phone. You can not re-download ringtones like you can music.

Got a new iphone how do i sync old iphone data?

Hi just got a new iPhone and wondering how to sync my old data onto the new iPhone?

And, sync everything in your iTunes library on your computer to your new phone. You did sync your iTunes/App Store purchases made on your old phone to your computer, right?

I forgot all of the answers to my security questions and when I set up my apple id I did not add a rescue email, I recently got a new iphone and I cannot purchase anything on it because it asks me to answer my security questions which i can't reset, help!

I forgot all of the answers to my security questions and when I set up my apple id I did not add a rescue email, I recently got a new iphone and I cannot purchase anything on it because it asks me to answer my security questions which i can't reset because I do not have a rescue email. what do I do?

this does not help. I have forgotten ALL of the answers to my security questions. I can NOT reset the answers to my security questions without answering two of the three security questions. The other way to reset the answers to these questions is for apple to send me an email on my rescue email addres which I DO NOT HAVE.

I recently got the new iPhone 5c I used icloud to back everything up from my 4s to my new 5c. Now, I keep getting a pop up that says Continue Restoring? (This iPhone has not been backed uprecently because it has not finished being restored. Would you like to finish downloading any remaining purchases and media before backing up, or delete them along with any app date?)
I seleted to finish downloading because I didn't want to lose anything. It still will not finish downloading and I have tried this several times.
What do I need to do to that I can get my iphone to back up and so that I can install the new iOS?

Hello there, Brandifoote24.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up an explanation of what you're error signifies:
iCloud: Understanding Backup alert messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4576
"This iPhone has not been backed up recently because it has not finished being restored. Would you like to finish downloading any remaining purchases and media before backing up, or delete them along with any app data?"
This message is displayed if your iOS device has been trying to complete a restore for more than three days. This can occur if your restore has been interrupted due to network connectivity issues or some other problem occurs.
Being that this is the case, you would want to go back to the article it seems you were referred to us from and try to restore from your icloud backup again:
iCloud: Troubleshooting restoring an iCloud backup
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4036
How do I restore an iCloud backup if my device is already set up for use?
You'll need to erase all data and settings from your device, so first confirm that you have an iCloud backup to restore:
Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage, then tap the name of your device to view a list of iCloud backups.
Check the date of the backup you want to restore, because you'll be restoring only what iCloud backed up on that date.
After confirming that an iCloud backup is available, follow these steps:
Connect your device to a power source and make sure that it is connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi.
Follow the instructions for restoring your iOS device from an iCloud backup, which include making sure that your device is using the latest version of iOS.
If the issue persists, then I would troubleshoot Wi-Fi using the following article:

Hello JinxUK,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the iCloud Control Panel. I found an article referencing the error message you are getting:
“Your setup couldn't be started because of an unexpected error.”
Apple is investigating this issue. This article will be updated as more information becomes available.
