My iphone5 will not back up what was on my iphone 4s!!!

For some reason both are on differing iOS versions (iPhone 4s is on 6.1.3 and 5 is on the latest 6.1.4)
When I go to restore from back up for my 5 it literally only restores the bare basics-no contacts, no profiles, no photos or anything
I have the 4s backed up so what is going wrong
Any help appreciated

I was trying to back it up from iTunes in spite of just backing up my 4S an hour earlier. My 4S has 14gb of data but for some reason none of the info gets backed up and sure enough only about 3gb is used on the 5
I'm going to try backing up from the cloud...

My iCloud will not back up after I replaced my iPhone

Hi, I need help with my iCloud backup. I recently replaced my iPhone 4 with a brand new one, and now it is saying I dont have enough storage and I am unable to backup using iCloud. The phone still says I have data space left, and I do not have any more or less space than my last phone. Can someone please help??
Thank you!

when i do this it says this backup cannot be deleted because it is in use, the old phone has been restored to factory settings to be shipped back to the insurance co.
That should clear up on its own, but may take 3-5 days to do so. Wait a few days and try again.

I had an iPhone 4 and recently upgraded to iphone5 now iCloud will not back up new phone. Under iCloud it shows 2 iPhones and my iPad. Is it trying to write new phone over the old one? What should I do? I a, afraid I might lose everything messing with

I see. If you go to Settings>General>About>Name, that is the current name of your phone. The backup bearing that name should be the more recent one, and therefore the one you want to keep. I would delete the other one (presumably the one set up by Best Buy under your real name, assuming you changed it later), then see if that gives you enough space to back up again.
If it still reporting insufficient storage, use this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4847 to try to determine what's taking up all your room. In them meantime, you can perform a manual backup on your computer so your have a current one while you're troubleshooting this. To do so, connect your phone to iTunes, then right-click on the name of your phone on the left side and select Back Up.

I just did a software update that was apparently for iPhoto. When I try to open iPhoto it stops at "step 5" and will not go further. what do I do?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

TS1702 My brand new iphone5 will not connect to my home wifi even though my ipad and old iphone do connect with no problem. What can I do?

My brand new iphone5 will not connect to my home wifi even though it recognizes it. My ipad and my old iphone4s connect with no problem. Any thoughts?

Although your other devices connect okay, it would be worth resetting your router by switching if off for disconnecting it from mains power for 2 minutes and then switch it on again.
Good luck and do report back.

I think as drive capacities increase, the old 10-15% becomes less accurate. The amount of free space you need doesn't really have anything to do with the drive size. So, increasing your drive size shouldn't mean that you need to have more free GB (which using a % of drive space would mean). You need free space to accommodate page outs (the amount of which would depend on how much RAM you have installed and how memory intensive the applications are), sleep images (again, this would max out at your total amount of RAM), and a bit to minimize fragmentation.
With desktop drives commonly in the 2TB range today, it is certainly not necessary to have 200GB+ free in order to maintain proper operation. I generally find about 30GB to be the minimum I'm comfortable with. Mind you, I pretty much always have way more than that available. But, if I'm working on a system and the amount of free space is at least 30GB, I would generally not site drive space as the cause of any performance issues. I'd say that 30GB is a minimum for a stable system (with 8GB or RAM installed). Of course at that amount, you would still need to free up space if you were to want to install or download any significant amount of data.
With servers being more likely to run into the 16GB of RAM range, more storage would be necessary. Most servers should be well stocked with storage, but the actual needs would vary greatly depending on what's being "served".
The 10-15% thing came about when we used to talk about drive capacities in hundreds of MBs and RAM in terms of KB (not MB and certainly not GB). More drive space is always a good thing, but as drive capacities continue to sky rocket, we don't need to dedicate larger amounts of storage on systems with the same specifications. A set amount of space is required for proper operation regardless of the capacity of the drive installed.

If you use Lion, boot into your recovery pressing Command and R buttons, press "Utilities" menu, open Terminal and write:

If you have Snow Leopard, boot into your install DVD pressing C button, click "Utilities" and press Password Reset

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 or the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

HT201269 I am trying to restore an old back up to a new phone but it will not allow because it says the "old iphone" password is incorrect but the password I am using is the only password I have?? Help? What does this mean?

I am trying to restore an old iphone to a new iphone but it will not allow becaue it says the "old iphone" password is incorrect but the passwork I am using works for my ITunes account and is the only password I have..?? Please help!! Thank you.

When using the iPhone with the Windows OS, you need to have the Apple Mobile Device Service running. It should start automatically when you start the computer, but sometimes things happen. Use this support document to try and restart the service. See if that helps.

Pages on iPhone5S will not update to new version

My iPhone5S will not update to the latest version: 2.5.2. I tried a dozen times to update it, as well as Numbers. Finally, Numbers updated but Pages still wouldn't. What happens is that I click on Update, and it seems to be updating, then when it finishes and I click on Open, it reverts to Update. I checked the version under Settings, and it was still the older version. I was able to access all my Pages documents, but I was annoyed at seeing the Update reminder, so today I deleted Pages from my phone and intended to re-install it. Now when I bring it up and click on Free and then Install, it just goes back to Free..refuses to budge, so now I don't have any of my Pages docs on my phone. I've tried rebooting, doesn't help. I'm running iOS 8.1.2. All those docs are still there in the Cloud, and Pages appears correctly on my MBP and iPad, but I can't seem to update it---or now, even install it---on my phone. Does anyone have any suggestions? This seems so random.

i would try restoring it or downgrading it and then try it again, if that doesnt work i really dont know.

My new iPhone randomly just stopped working and will not turn on what should i do?

Time Capsule will not back up address book

Fior some reason Time Capsule will not back up my address book. When I delete an address and start up Time Machine, it will show my address book screen. However all my "older" address book screens in time machine are blank. I have searched various forums but have not been able to find other topics on this issue. Is here anybody who has a clue (the address book is not exempted for back up)?

I just checked to see if TM was backing up my address book, and at first I saw the same thing you're describing, but after a minute or so, old backups appeared. Have you waited a minute to see what happens?

My iphone5 will not back up what was on my iphone 4s!!!
