Lost my iPhone. How to sync a new iPhone with the backup of the old one

I lost my old 3GS and will buy a new one next week. How do I get the stuff from the old one to the new one?
I appreciate any help!

You can look this up yourself on Apples website. I clicked "Support" then typed "new iphone" and got this:

HT5661 will I be able to restore a new iPad with a BackUp from a old one?

I have an iPad Model MD371LL/A that i'm selling. I will buy a new one as sonn it releases the new model.
Will I be able to restore a new iPad with a BackUp from a old one?

Yes.
The only 'catch' you may encounter. Let's say your old one is running iOS 7.1.1, and your new one is running iOS 7.0.6, you will first need to update your new one to be running 7.1.1, then y ou can restore it from the backup of your old one and make it a near clone of the old one.
Chances are you won't encounter this, but there have been instances where folks get a broken ipad replaced and try to restore the new one from the backup of the old one and since the replacement is running an older iOS than the replaced one it doesn't work. In that case you set up the replacement long enough to update the iOS then restore it.
But, likely what will happen for you is what happened for me when I bought a new iPod Touch. I did a full backup of my old one then wiped it. Brought the new one home and during hte set up process I had a choice 'set up as new or restore from the backup of the old one'. I chose restore and my new one was a near clone of the old one. I still needed to set up wifi and enter a few passwords to websites, but the data and contents crossed over.
If you are selling your old one you may want to read this about wiping your device to make it usable by the buyer. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661

HT1296 Can I sync my new iPad with my iTunes from the cloud?

Can I sync my new iPad with my iTunes from the cloud?

Sync what sort of content ? You should be able to keep contacts and bookmarks between the two, but you can't directly copy music or films/tv shows between them - you will either need to sync those via your computer's iTunes, or if they are iTunes purchases and you are in a country where they can be redownloaded then they might show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad

After setting up my new 4S restoring a backup of my old one, I've renamed the old 3GS in iTunes and changed the content, deleting all my important stuff. Now I'm syncing the old one to my PC. Can I then backup my NEW 4S to iCloud without messing up all-?

After setting up my new 4S, restoring a backup of my old 3GS, I've renamed the old 3GS in iTunes and then I've changed the content, deleting all my important stuff. Now I'm syncing the old one to my PC. Can I then after that safely backup my NEW 4S - which now holds all my company information and stuff - to iCloud without risking to lose it?

Hi Mcchen425,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
As a precaution, I would suggest backing up your iPhone to your computer via iTunes as well as iCloud. Then you can delete one of your two backups. The article below will explain all of your options for deleting data or backups from your iCloud storage.

i think icloud should let you update your purchases so that the games will sync to your new computer and they will be backed up. i am not sure how to do this so you do not lose the levels you have completed.
if not can you export the game to the new computer with the current settings?
or another way is to sync to the new computer and redo all the levels you have completed again and it should take you less time?

How to create a new track with existing changes in the production

Hi
I need to create a new track for the ESS package with the existing changes that we already made to the ESS package. We already have a development track and the customisation to the ESS package has been already done in that track. Now my requirement is to create a new track ( DEV, CONS, TEST and PROD) with DEV having all the existing changes we made. In short how do I import the SCA's from development track PROD to the new track DEV. We are on NW2004 SPS20.
points rewarded for helpful answers
Thanks
Sheril

Param
Have you done the import in DEV and CONS and then Assembled .. ?
If yes then go to /usr/sap/jtrans/CMS/archives/.......... -> check for the track name and then the last .SCA file in it . Copy that SCA file in the /usr/sap/jtrans/CMS/inbox and go to the new track and configure the checkin to inbox ... You should see the SCA in there ... check those in and you are ready to have those SCA in your Production track ..
If no then you need to know the NWDS functions .. I shall send you the details to bring the incomplete changes (not assembled) to new track .. let me know if the first one worked ..
Thanks

How can I unsync my old iphone and sync my new iphone to my macbook

I'm trying to unsync my old iphone 3s (I think it's that) from itunes, I have looked at itunes to see if there is a symbol to unsync, but the directions I have followed seem to show a different itunes than the one I have, I've tried to update to the newest itunes but cannot and think this might be the problem. When I plug in my new iphone 4s there is no symbol to sync either. I've tried removing music, apps and photo's from the old iphone but this still did not unsync it, there was some remaining data left and I cannot find a symbol that would allow me to completely delete all information. Could you tell me how to sync my new iphone so that I can download apps and music from itunes? thanks.

You'll have to update to 10.6.8 first, then even further if you want all options.

i got a new lenovo desktop windows 8.1,installed itunes and synced my iphone 4 no problems. then i imported a cd of songs which showed up in recently added but not in main library ,therefore it did not sync to the iphone. how can i get new songs to appear in the main library and sync properly
thanks
john

Check the songs are really not in the Music section of the library by clicking the magnifying glass in the search box and unticking Search Entire Library if it is ticked, then typing in the name of the album. If the tracks still don't show try closing iTunes and deleting a hidden file called sentinel from inside your iTunes folder. This should make iTunes run an integrity check on the database when you start it again. Make sure the tracks are checked before you try syncing again.

I have problems syncing my new iPhone 5 to iTunes. I read somewhere to disable iPhotos and that has allowed me to sync but my photos are not on my iPhone. How can I fix this?

Try updating to iPhoto 9.4.1. If it's not appearing in your Software Update yet, try updating using a .dmg installer downloaded from the following page on the Apple website:
iPhoto 9.4.1
From the release notes for the new version:
What's New in Version 9.4.1
Improves the reliability of syncing to iOS devices via iTunes
Fixes an issue that could cause iPhoto to quit unexpectedly when using the Export command
Addresses an issue that could cause iPhoto to quit unexpectedly when upgrading multiple books, cards, and calendars
Resolves an issue with downloading and viewing photos synced from Facebook albums

I synced my new iPad with my new macbook and when I tried to then sync my iPhone as well it says that all apps will be replaced with apps in my library. How do I sync without losing all of my existing iPhone apps?

My guess is that you previously synced the iPhone with a different computer in the past. You will probably want to set up Home Sharing.
