Your iPhone's iOS must be same or newer than the one in backups. In your case it is older so you need to update your iPhone and then recover it with backup.

  • I can print from my iMac wirelessly but here lately I can no longer print from my iPhones nor iPads on the same printer

    Just recently I was able to print from all of my devices now the only one that prints wirelessly is the iMac the iphones & ipads say no air printer is found how can that be if the iMac is air printing?

    Hello, Carternite. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here are some troubleshooting steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue. 
    For best results
    Verify that your iOS device is using the latest version of iOS available and that the app you're printing from isup to date.
    Make sure that your AirPrint printer has the latest firmware version installed. Check your printer's documentation or contact the printer vendor for more information. A firmware update may be available, even if you just bought your printer.
    AirPrint printers connected to Wi-Fi networks work with iOS. AirPrint printers connected to Wi-Fi or Ethernet networks work with OS X.
    Wi-Fi capable AirPrint printers must be connected to the same home Wi-Fi network as your iOS device or Mac.
    If you are unable to print
    Check these things if you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found":
    Make sure your printer has paper, and enough ink or toner installed.
    Make sure your printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS device.
    Make sure your printer has power and is turned on. Try turning your printer off and then back on again to see if it resolves your issue.
    Check to see if your printer has any error lights or indicators displayed on the printer's control panel. Check the documentation that came with your printer to clear any errors displayed.
    Check with your printer's manufacturer to see if any firmware updates are available for your printer.
    Notes:
    AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of an Apple AirPort Base Station or AirPort Time Capsule are not supported with AirPrint.
    Some Wi-Fi AirPrint printers can take several minutes to join a Wi-Fi network after being turned on. Make sure that your AirPrint printer is connected to your Wi-Fi network before attempting to print.
    Important: Printers not listed in this article are not supported by AirPrint. To search for an AirPrint printer model, use the Find feature of your web browser (usually Command-F) to search the list below.

  • I got a new computer and now iTunes is telling me it can't sync with two computers

    I got a new computer and now iTunes is telling me it can't sync with two computers, it's telling me it will erase what's on my iPad and re-sync. Will I lose my iPad data that's on it?

    No - not at all. Look at that one app that I gave you the link for. That is supposed to transfer all of the iPad content to the new computer. I have no idea how much it costs, but it's worth a look. There are other out there as well. Google "apps to transfer iPad content to computer" or something to that effect. These apps claim to transfer everything.
    Several things to remember - you can still transfer all of the iTunesicon tent that you purchased by using the Transfer Purchases option in iTunes. Just remember to turn off auto syncing before you do it. You will also have to authorize your new computer to transfer the purchase if you haven't done so already. From the iTunes menu on your computer go to Store> Authorize this computer.
    Plus any apps or music that you have bought can be downloaded again at no charge with the cloud feature in the latest iPad iOS.
    EDIT - I see that you did transfer the purchases. Look at one of those apps that I described and they should be able to get you set up. You should also invest in an external hardrive for backing up all of your computer content ... don't want this to happen again!

  • Itunes will only sync a portion of my music since i have installed the newest update.  It keeps telling me it can not sync my Ipod due to a duplicate file name.  Any suggestions?

    I am trying to get some advice as to why my Ipod will not completely sync since I updated Itunes.  Itunes keeps telling me it can not sync my Ipod due to a duplicate file name?  It will sync some of my songs but not all of them.  Any thoughts?

    Most likely the iPod filesystem is corrupted, during a partial sync, that freeze due to a timeout.
    In My Computer, select the iPod, right click Properties->Tools->Check Now
    tick both Fix filesystem and scan.for bad sectors.
    This will fix the duplicate name error.
    Good Luck!

  • Can you sync attachments from an iPhone to a Windows PC with Outlook 2007?

    Can you sync attachments from an iPhone to a Windows PC with Outlook 2007? I would like to receive email on the iphone with attachments and then sync the attachments to a Windows XP PC with Outlook 2007 without Outlook 2007 having to connect to the mail server itself and having to separely download the attachment. Is this possible?
    I have only tried one pdf file which downloaded wonderfully to the iPhone. I synced to the PC without the PC being connected to the email account. This also worked except that when I tried to open the attachment on the PC I got a message that the mail wasn't fully downloaded. When I went on=line on the PC, it downloaded the attachment. I would love to have this option because I can't access some email accounts from my corporate computer.

    No it is not. The only information synced regarding email accounts is the email account information only and this is in one direction only - from your computer to the iPhone via iTunes.

  • How Can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail?

    How can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail? In other words, I want to keep all of my iPhone contact information intact and make AOL "mirror" it (and not wipe it out when I sync thru iTunes).

    The iPhone supports syncing contacts with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with Windows Contacts with Windows, and with the Address Book or with the Entourage address book on a Mac.
    If you aren't currently using one of the supported applications on your computer for contact info - the supported address book application on your computer is empty, before syncing contacts enter one contact in the supported application on your computer. Make this contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data with the supported application on your computer, which you want to select.
    After this, you can export the contacts from the supported application on your computer that is supported for import by your AOL online address book - if AOL includes such an option.

  • I just got a new phone today the iphone 5c and i plugged it into itunes. i wanted to get all of my data from my iphone 4s but when i synced my phone all of my iphone 3 data was on my new phone how do i get my iphone 4 data on my new phone?

    Did you choose the wrong back up? There should be a drop box when you go to "Restore from Back up" in iTunes and your iPhone is plugged in, on the Summary page. Choose the correct back up. If you can't find one, and you still have your device, back up your iPhone 4 again and then choose that back up. Or check for an old iCloud back up if you have one.

  • When I was talking on phone, suddenly the phone was switched off. i tried to switch it on but it gave the message....connect to itunes for set up.  when I connected it to itunes...it gave the message, itunes can not read data from this iphone, restore it

    when I was talking on phone, suddenly the phone was switched off.
    i tried to switch it on but it gave the message....connect to itunes for set up.
    when I connected it to itunes...it gave the message, itunes can not read data from this iphone, restore it to factory settings. It also said while restoring ypu will lose all media data but you can restore the contacts.
    I restored the factory settings....the phone was on recovery mode...it was verified by itunes and all that..but in the end it again said that iphone has some problem and can not function right now.
    after that when ever i connect it with itunes, it gives the message, it can not activate the iphone further, try again later or contact customer service.
    What to do now?????? Customer service people say..it is hardware problem

    If it's a hardware problem, then the phone will need to be replaced.
    There is no magic that can fix a hardware problem.

    No.
    If you aren't syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, and/or not syncing contacts over the air with an email account on your iPhone that supports this with a number of accounts that do which are free including a free Apple iCloud account, and your iPhone's backup is not being done wirelessly with a free Apple iCloud account and you don't have a backup for your iPhone on a computer, your contacts will be lost.

  • Date sync: how can I sync dates from 2 cameras

    hi
    how can I sync dates from 2 cameras. From a wedding, my camera had the correct date, the borrowed one was about 11hrs out but not exactly. I want to change all the pics from the 2nd camera to sync with the first. I've already imported.
    Many thanks

    Use "Metadata→Adjust date and time".
    Instructions in the User Manual here.  Not that the change is an offset to the time-stamp listed in the EXIF.

    If you create a new Apple ID you won't have access to the media purchased with the Apple ID you are currently using.

    The easiest method is to setup an iCloud account, turn on Contacts syncing in Settings > iCloud on both devices, and the Contacts from the iPhone will sync to the iPad.

    Under the summary tab in iTunes make sure you have Automatically Back Up This computer. If you have iCloud selected it won't back up when syncing.

  • Can I retrieve data from my iPhone 4 hard drive without the SIM card?

    Can I retreive data from my iPhone 4 hard drive without the sim?

    There is no hard drive in an iPhone, it is all solid state memory. If the phone is working you can always copy content from it. If it is not you will need to restore and activate it, and that requires a SIM card.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the other ID.  When you delete the account it will prompt you about what to do with the iCloud data.  If you need to migrate it and merge it with the data in the new account choose Keep on My iDevice; then choose Merge to upload the data and merge it with the new account.  If your data is already in the other account and you don't need to migrate it to the other account, choose Delete from My iDevice.
