Lost contaacts when getting new iphone

I have just got a new Iphone 4s and I synced my old 3g iphone before I got my new phone but when syncing now it has got my photos (not all of them) and doesnt have any of my contacts any ideas how i can get all my contacts back?

I do not use a iPhone 3G but if you plug your old iPhone to iTunes, right click on the phone icon and make a Backup of this phone, I think you will save your contacts that were on the phone in that backup.
Plug your new iPhone to iTunes, restore from backup and I think your contacts will appear in your new iPhone 4.
I did this with my iPod touch and it worked fine but not sure if it's the same with iPhone.
Hope this help

  • Should I throw out my old sim card when getting new iphone? (verizon)

    I just upgraded to an iphone 6 from an iphone 5 on verizon.
    Should I throw out the sim card in my iphone 5 before selling it or just leave it there?
    Thanks!

    The SIM is pretty much useless. If you've already given the iPhone 5 to someone else and didn't take out the SIM, don't worry about it. If you haven't given the phone away yet, take the SIM out.

  • HT1688 does the insurance we buy when getting the iphone covers broken screen?

    Just broke my screen... Need to know if the insurance we buy when getting the iphone covers broken screen? If not what are my possibilities and cost to have phone fixed or replaced asap?

    Apple doesn't sell "insurance". If you purchased AppleCare+ with your phone, it's covered (up to 2 incidents) with a $49 deductible.
    If you purchased insurance, you need to ask the insurance company.

    How can I get new iphone I broke the other one

    What do you mean "you broke it"?
    If you dropped it you can make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and do an out-of-warranty replacement for $269 USD.

  • I have broken iPhone 5s if i pay 100 euro can i  get new iPhone 6.

    i have broken iPhone 5s.and if i pay 100 euro can i get new iPhone 6.
    thanks

    Doesn't matter how much you pay.
    You can do an out-of-warranty charge replacement for the same phone you have, for whatever price Apple has set in your home country.  You cannot use that as an excuse for Apple to upgrade you.

  • When updating new iPhone software I have to use a different computer.

    When trying to update new iPhone software I have to use my MacBook instead of my iMac. If I use the iMac I can download the software with no problem, but when updating it gets to the point where it's almost done then it just stops. When I use the MacBook I can complete the whole process no problem. Any help would be appreciated.

    Any reason why you have not updated to 10.6.4? On your iMac, navigate to ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates and delete any & all .ipsw files you find. There should only be one, but delete all that are listed. You will most likely have to first turn on show all hidden files & folders to see them. Once done, run software update. Make sure iTunes is up to date. Once done, launch disk utility from your utilities folder, select your hard drive, select "Repair Permissions". When finished, re-boot your computer. See if you can update now. There should be NO firewalls or anti-virus running...none.

  • Want to get new iphone and give my mom mine, how do we get her number into mine?

    I want to get the new iphone 5 when it comes out and I want to give my current iphone 4 to my mom. Now when I got this I had to register my phone number to it. How do I go about doing that for her when I get a new one? Thanks!

    Have her get a microSIM for the iPhone 4 from her cell provider.
    Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings and do so.
    Then have her connect your old phone to her computer and initialize it and set it up.

  • Lost new iPhone, enabled lost option online on icloud, old iphone acted as lost. Would the new iphone also act as lost?

    My new iPhone has been stolen.
    When I synced it to iTunes the first time, I decided to transfer all of the data from my old iPhone onto it, so they also have the same name.
    I logged into iCloud and tried to locate my phone, then enabled the "lost" option.
    I then turned on my old iPhone which acted as if it had been stolen.. (the message popped up on the screen, plus my mac notified me that the phone had been tracked, etc)
    I was wondering therefore, if for my Mac they are the same phone? and if it is so, would the "lost" option be enabled on both phones?
    Thank you so much for any help.

    Thank you.  The old one will stay reported?

  • Daughter had to get new iPhone why would we now not see each others text messages?

    My daughters iPhone 4S was permantly damaged by update 2 weeks ago. Apple sent her a new phone. Now I can't see her texts and mine to her are shiwingbup in squares that look mor like code than words or she does not get them at all
    He new phone was setup , according to her, using cloud by her husband.she says she has no problem with texting anybody but me
    The exception is when she texted me 2 times while in the car, we had a whole conversation by text without a problem. But from home or work the problem described exists  I should say I have never had a problem texting anybody but her, and only since she got the new iPhone
    Any ideas as to why  this would be, are appreciated  help?

    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure only the phone number is checked.
    The best way to resolve this is to not share Apple IDs but the steps above will resolve the duplicate iMessage issues.

  • When restoring new iPhone 4S from old iPhone 3GS, Siri is gone

    OK. so I brought home my new iPhone 4S. I plugged it in and answered the questions, the synced it. Nice, apps are there but no data. OK. so get online, figure out that I need to restore from the backup of my previous phone to get my data. So I do that. Sweet, data is there, looks just like the iPhone 3gs. Well, to much like the iPhone 3GS. Siri appears to not be on the phone. I'm thinking, sync the phone. Return the phone to factory default, then sync it back. Will that work?

    To be clear...make sure you go into Settings/General, not just 'Settings'.
    Like a tard, I made this mistake and was looking for Siri a level up from where she was.
