Howdy Nick,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
If you want to get all of the content from your old iPhone to your new iPhone 6, then I recommend that you back up your old iPhone to iTunes, and then restore from that backup on your new iPhone.  To learn how you can do this process, please see the information in the article below.
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
Take care,

  • Best way to transfer data to new internal hard drive

    Hi,
    I just got a new internal hard drive for my macbook and I'm trying to figure out the best way to transfer all the data from my old hd to the new one. Basically, I would just like to make an exact copy of my old hd and put it on the new larger one. Thanks for the help.

    Will I simply be able to do a firewire transfer on the new internal HD is installed
    Yes. Use Carbon Copy Cloner with the sopurce and destination volumes reversed after installing the new drive.
    Additionally do I need a bootable copy of OSX on my external HD to do the transfer?
    Yes; the clone can act as this copy. If you copy everything with Carbon Copy Cloner, you will be told whether the drive will be bootable or not prior to the clone.

  • Best way to transfer everything on new hard drive for mac book pro

    Hi have a mid-2009 macbook pro with 4 GB ram and 250 GB hard drive, which is full now.  I just bought 8 GB RAM to speed it up and a new 1 TB hard drive.  I am running latest Lion (that I downloaded from mac app store - I have the original install DVD for Snow leopard).  What would be the best and cleanest way to transfer everything (OSX, applications, data, files, user preferences, passwords, etc from the old hard drive to the new one)^
    1- I heard I can hook the new hard drive via USB and  do a clean install of my Snow leopard DVD, then update to Lion via mac app store.  Then how do I transfer everything else?
    2- I also heard about carbon copy cloner, but somewhere it says there is a file in Lion that this will not copy.
    Anybody have any helpfull answers?
    thanks

    My suggestion would be to use Migration Assistant. This program you have in your Utilities folder and once you hook up your old Hard Drive to the new computer via USB or Target Disk mode, it will pretty much direct you on how to do the whole process. If you have any other questions, let me know.

  • Best Way To Transfer Data To New Mac

    I know this question has been asked ad naseum, but I can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for today...
    My new iMac arrives today (w00t!) and I want to transfer all my data over to the new computer. But I'm coming from a Mac that is four years old (though still running Lion) and there's probably a lot of crap on the old machine like corrupt preferences and whatnot, and I don't really want all that baggage coming over with me. I obviously want to transfer over my documents, iTunes and iPhoto Libraries and all the iWeb stuff and whatnot. I'm not afraid to reinstall my apps, if that's the ideal scenario and I don't care if my settings and dock reverts to deault, if that's the best way to do this. So I'm trying to determine the best (and possibly fastest) way to load up the new Virgin machine. I have the ability to connect the two computers via Firewire and I also have an up-to-date Firewire Time Machine Backup of everything as well.  Any and all advice is appreciated. And don't be afraid to tell me I'm crazy and that I shouldn't worry about corrupt stuff and I should just Set Up Assistant or Migration Assistant (though I hear Set Up is better?)  Thanks!

    If all you want to migrate is the data files then use Pondini's Setup Assistant guide as instructed. It will ask what you want migrated however if you only choose data it will migrate ALL of your data files. If you have some files you don't want to migrate then it may be best to start the old machine in Target mode after setting up the new machine then  you can pick and choose what data files you want to copy over to the new machine.

  • Best way to transfer files to new iMac?

    I'm trying to transfer files from my PowerPC iMac running Tiger purchased in 2005 to a new iMac running Snow Leopard. I've heard some reports that using migration assistant on a Tiger-to-Snow Leopard transer causes some problems. Is this problem widespread? This sounds like the easiest method for transfering files, especially since I have almost zero experience transferring libraries and user accounts manually. But I don't want to do it if there's a chance of files being corrupted. I'll also have to purchase a Firewire 800/400 cable, but that's no big deal since I'll probably need it for other hard drives anyway. Any advice?

  • Currently have ipod touch 4 and am getting an iphone 5c. Want to transfer data to new phone. Currently all our family devices on one apple ID for purchases and it is the same for icloud. I want to create a new one for icloud for this iphone. What do I do?

    Currently have ipod touch 4 and am getting iphone 5c this weekend. Currently our family has several apple devices and they have the same apple ID for itunes and it is the same ID that we use for icloud. I want to set up a separate icloud ID so that it is only on my new device. I still want to keep the same apple ID for purchases. Can I do this and better yet when do I do this...before the purchase, after the purchase and backing up of data. Where do I go to create a new one?

    Figured it out. Thanks.

  • Best way to transfer video between iphone and mac wirelessly?

    Please suggest me the best way to transfer files between mac and iphone wirelessly.Mainly for videos.

    If you want to transfer photos and videos from the Mac to the iPhone (but not in the other direction) you can use iTunes and sync via wi-fi: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    If you want to wirelessly tranfer videos in the other direction you may want to look into a 3rd party app such as http://www.photosync-app.com Note that I have not used that app so be sure to investigate others as well.

  • What's the best way to transfer (not forward) a call from one iPhone to another?

    What's the best way to transfer (not forward) a call from one iPhone to another? Is there an app available that does this? I'm asking about receiving a call, then transferring that caller to another iPhone on a separate number and then disconnecting while those two users are joined up in a conversation.

    Ask your carrier. This would be a feature provided by them.

  • Best way to transfer windows OS contacts to iPhone 4S ???

    Best way to transfer all contacts from Palm Treo including the picture birth-dates and emails of the contacts to my new iPhone4S?
    www.ChubbyFlyers.com
    [Full Color Printing and Graphic Designs]

    The iPhone supports syncing contacts with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express with XP and by Windows Mail with Vista and Windows 7 for syncing contacts only.
    You need to get your Palm Treo contacts exported for import by a supported address book application or synced with a supported address book application. There should be an option for this with the Palm Desktop software or via 3rd party software.

  • Best way to transfer disk contents from dead Cube (G4) to new iMac (Intel)

    Forgive me if this has been covered before - my search didn't find anything on this particular problem.
    My (upgraded, but ancient) Cube finally bit the dust during a power surge/outage at the house. Actually, it was just the power brick that died, but I have ordered a new iMac to replace the Cube. My question is on the best way to transfer the data and info from my old hard drive to the new iMac when it arrives. I am thinking of buying a Firewire or USB enclosure for the Cube's disk (Western Digital 120 GB) and using it as an external drive at the new iMac. Since the Cube is effectively dead, I don't think I can use Migration Assistant, can I? And should this transfer be the first thing I do on the new iMac? I know that many of my apps won't run natively on the Intel iMac, but some will under emulation, so I want to save many of them (Cube was still a G4 PPC). I also want to be able to transfer my iTunes and iPhoto libraries, all my Office files, and other data without having to individually copy them all. Can someone suggest the best course of action?
    Thanks in advance,
    Joe Crabtree

    Hi Joe Crabtree;
    Please remember that you are changing from PowerPC to Intel architecture so you will want to install all application on the new iMac and only migrate data files. Migrating applications from PowerPC to Intel is a known way to create problems with your new iMac.

  • What's the best way to transfer 11,000 photo's from my old mac to my new one?

    What's the best way to transfer 11,000 photo's on iphoto to iphoto on my new mac.  I've just spent 24 hours importing them onlu for it to say there is not enough space available  - BUT I'VE JUST BOUGHT AN NEW UPGRADED MAC?

    Don't import them.
    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
