My new iphone 5 is not syncing text messages or phones past 2012. Can anyone help?

My new iphone 5 is not syncing text messages or phones past 2012. Can anyone help? I have synced my iphone 4 with icloud and itunes prior to syncing my iphone 5 but not sure why it is not working.

Did you possibly restore it from an old backup file?

  • Does anyone have a clear solution as to why my new iPhone will not send text messages to some numbers.

    Does anyone have a clear solution as to why my new iPhone 5 will not send text messages to some numbers?

    I had problems the first few days with text messaging on my new cell. I checked my new contract service thru AT&T online, and it turned out the guy who set up my phone didn't sign me up for the unlimited texting I told him I HAD to have!  I just had to add texting back into my contract.....problem solved.  I hope your problem is solved this easily.

  • My iPhone is not syncing and iTunes is going wack. Can anyone explain what's happening?

    I guess this could constitute mainly as an iTunes problem, but there is disconnect with my IPhone 5. I have just recently added new songs to my iTunes and when I plugged my iPhone in, it didn't sync. At first I really didn’t care much about it. It usually does the same thing to my younger sister’s iPod touch. I assumed that all I’d have to do is go to my song menu and check the artists and songs I wanted to add. After doing this, I clicked apply and then sync and still the music didn’t download. Again, I didn’t worry much about it (and this could be my mistake) and I tried another solution that helped me with my old iPhone. I just checked off of music as a whole, clicked apply, synced, and then waited for iTunes to tell me the sync was over. This was unsuccessful. On iTunes, under ‘On this iPhone’ it said I had no music, however my iPhone still had all of my songs and playlists. This confused me so I took it a step further and caused more damage. I rechecked music (this time clicking add entire music library as opposed to only checked items), applied the changes, plugged my iPhone back in, and synced again. My iPhones library did not change. The number of songs I had remained the same. However, this time on the computer, iTunes told me I only had three songs under ‘On this iPhone’ but the capacity bar below told me a completely different number of songs than the ‘On this iPhone’ section and the number of song read on my iPhone. At this point I gave up meddling with everything and ejected my iPhone. I don’t want to delete and re-upload iTunes to my computer unless I absolutely have to (because I will lose all of my purchased music, apps, books, etc.). Does anyone know what’s wrong with my devices? Is there an easy fix, and if I have to delete and reload iTunes is there a way to do it without losing all of my stuff? I’m desperate for help, I don’t want to mess with it any more unless I’m absolutely sure the next time I plug my phone in it won’t experience and ultimate malfunction. Anyone with a solution is greatly appreciated.

    Hey DaddyPaycheck and Japamac,
    Thanks both for your replies.
    +You are a tenacious one, that's for sure! :-)+
    I don't know if that's a good thing in this case.....;)
    I do agree with the statement that it cannot handle dual processors. I swapped the the "original" working CPU with the "original" one I thought was giving me problems. It is now running (although showing as single) with the CPU I thought was bad. Both sets, original and untested, will work together and register as dual, but will be unreliable and randomly freeze.
    +The defining bit of data would be if you could determine that one socket or the other is continually working, or if one is sporadic (thus explaining the occurrence of the pair working).+
    I'm having trouble narrowing down that part. I can swap them back and forth and get the same result-so both sockets seem to be working. But like I said when both pairs are couple together, it shows as dual, and it works for a certain amount of time. So I know they are working to a certain degree. But when they're mixed, only one (don't know which one) is being seen.
    Yes, I've run thermal calibration and everything goes fine. Even with the diagnostic disc, when the CPUs are mixed, hardware specs show one CPU. But when the original pairs are coupled, it will show both.
    This is like a splinter that I can't get out. It runs great as one CPU, and I could let it go like that, but knowing that it could (and should) be dual is driving me nuts.
    Is there anything either of you can think of that I can try?

  • My Ipod was originally set up as a sub-account of a firends.  After that, I got an Iphone and set up my own Apple account.  I just got a new Ipod, and now can't sync my old Itunes to it. Can anyone help me? I'm even OK with deleting the old Itunes account

    My Ipod was originally set up as a sub-account of a firends.  After that, I got an Iphone and set up my own Apple account.  I just got a new Ipod, and now can't sync my old Itunes to it. Can anyone help me? I'm even OK with deleting the old Itunes account, and staring over.  I just really want to get the new Ipod under my own account, and be able to use it...

    There is no such thing as a "sub-account."  Also, you probably mean iTunes library, when you say "account."  Your "account" in iTunes is your Apple ID, which is what you use to sign in to the iTunes Store to make purchases.  iPods are associated with an iTunes library, not with an Apple ID (iTunes Store account).  You'll need to clarify...
    So, this is what I think you are saying.  You previously shared an iTunes library on a computer with your friend.  Your old iPod was synced to that iTunes library. 
    You got an iPhone, and at that time, you set up your own iTunes library.  Is that on a different computer?  How does the iPhone affect your question about the iPod?
    You got a new iPod.  What is your "old iTunes"?  Is that the iTunes library you shared with your friend?

    "I was thinking I would just connect my iPhone and all of my music and other stuff would transfer to the new computer. "
    Not true. The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    You really should transfer everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your computer. Since you do not have access to the old computer, then use your backup copy of the old computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you would have to transfer itunes purchased as described earlier. Any other itunes content would be lost.
    You can e-mail photo library pics to yourself, but they will not be of the original quality.
    Before syncing, enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.
