/new phone syncd to old /how to restore a back up after deleting it

i recently purchased a new 3g and had been using it before i synced it with my itunes. When i went to set it up it automatically syncd with my old iphone and i now have the old contacts, pics and messages and have lost everything (new contacts, pics/videos, and recent messages.) How do I restore my new phone back to the settings.
after reading apple online i deleted the old phone back up and now cant restore from that back up.
is there anything i can do?????

Transferring the backup for an existing iPhone to a new iPhone is different from syncing. The first time you connect a new iPhone to iTunes that was being used to sync another iPhone, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone to the new iPhone, which can be declined.
Unless you created a backup for your new iPhone before transferring the backup for your old iPhone to your new iPhone, all the data that was on your new iPhone is lost and cannot be recovered.

  • How to restore to back up after setting up as new

    I received my iPhone 4S in the mail today and in my excitement set it up as a new phone because I was away from my Macbook that I synced my 3GS to. What's the easiest way to restore to the 3GS's back up once I have access again? Or have I shot myself in the foot and have to add everything manually now with no way to restore photos, notes, etc.?

  • How to restore Notes to I6 after deletion from I5?

    I got a new iphone 6 and all notes would not transfer after quite some time. Last night I hand transferred notes one by one from old iphone 5 to new Iphone 6 using air drop. Then I deleted all notes from Iphone 5. This morning I discovered all notes were gone from iphone 6 and Iphone 5. Panic!!!
    Before all this I made a back up of old iphone 5 about a month ago.
    I only want to restore notes only. My son says i have to restore entire phone and he suggests restoring old iphone 5 and then air drop again. But then any new notes would be gone??? (which would be aceptable.
    Looks like I was probably using live.com as the sync agent?
    Any suggestions? Can I go to apple store with both iphones and will they be able to help me?
    Thanks Tom

    To recover iCloud data from Time Machine, close the application and also turn wifi OFF during the recovery, to avoid syncing back the old data.  When found, copy the file and give it a new name.  Turn on WiFi, the original file will disappear again. A short time later the new file will appear in iCloud.
    To go to library folders, hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command.
    Alternatively, go to the home folder and select the "Show View Options" at the gear wheel icon.  Then select "Show Library Folder" at the bottom of the dialogue box.
    That will take you to a folder in your user library. Then enter Time Machine with the folder highlighted.

    You were already provided the answer. If you do not have a backup of the phone while the photos were on the phone, they are gone. When you restore your phone from an old backup, anything that has been saved to the phone since that backup is deleted. Sorry.

    Hi I recently destroyed my iPhone 4, before replacing it I backed it up through iTunes... I restored my new phone from my old one's backup but not one single picture was copied.. Did I lose all my pictures or are they just hiding on my com?? is there a simple solution??? I thought I was doing everything right by backing up my old one first... now Im scared I lost everything including a lot of very important pictures.. PLEASE HELP!!

    Restore from the backup!
    You password: You have set it! It might be your passcode or you mioght have set it accidentally, so test all of the passwords you normally use. If you cannot get the password you backup is lost, but you can still sync your iTunes content.

    Apple isn't here. This is a user to user forum.

  • I recently upgraded to a new iPhone.  Everything transferred except my photos.  Can I retrieve my photos from iCloud and transfer them to my new phone?  My old phone has already been transferred to a new user.

    Did you restore your iCloud backup?  That should recover camera roll photos.

  • New phone AND operating system - how do I transfer my apps?

    I'm going from having an iMac with 10.4.11 to a MacBook Pro with 10.6.4 - and I've upgraded my iPhone 3G with a 4.
    I cannot sync my new phone with the old computer (where all the apps, my calendar) due to the old operating system.
    I have managed to transfer my music, photos, calendar & contacts - now how do I get all my apps over there, too? (purchased & otherwise ....)
    I found the app folder under User-Music-iTunes-MobileApplications on the old computer and tried copying onto my new computer, but maybe I'm not putting it in the right place - and those are only some of my apps - is there an easier way?

    You can transfer them from the old iphone. Without syncing-File>Transfer Purchases
    You can use migration assistant to move everything over.
    You can copy the entire itunes folder across.
    Unlike music, you can redownload apps:

  • I have got a new phone and my old phone was wiped.  I backed it up but where do i find my contacts list on iTunes?  Or should i be looking somewhere else?

    i have got a new phone and my old phone was wiped.  I backed it up but where can i find all my contacts?

    Unfortunately your other contacts may be lost.  Contacts are not saved in iTunes; they are only synced with iTunes to a supported program such as Outlook or mac Address Book.  If you don't have these, there are other options for backing up your contacts such as syncing them with iCloud or another service such as Google.  Syncing only partially saves contacts in the backup in order to preserve your favorites and recent call lists; it can't be relied on for backing up your entire contact list.

  • I have just purchased the iPhone 5s and my previous phone was backed up on iCloud. However when I restored this on my new phone my photos are still being restored after 4 days. Shows the amount there but no pictures?

    I have just purchased the iPhone 5s and my previous phone was backed up on iCloud. However when I restored this on my new phone my photos are still being restored after 4 days. Shows the amount there but no pictures? Is there anything I can do to get them back as my other phone has now been cleared. On my iCloud storage it still shows that my previous phone had all the info still?? I'm confused!

    Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS.   Recall, only photos in the camera roll are backed up to iCloud.  There is a way to turn backups for camera roll on/off, perhaps these users had camera roll turned off.
    See:
    Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage,  tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
    IMPORTANT...
    Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream.  If using Photo stream, but sure to move the received photos to a permanent album.  If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
    Or, you can find other apps in the app store that send camera roll photos to a service like Dropbox.
    If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered.  I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".

    I am absolutely frustrated with this new phone. My old phone, a 3G, took a total dump, so, I bought this new 4G with Siri and I cannot get it to update. I keep getting the same error message that I got with the 3G error "3014". I am ready to throw it against a brick wall!!

    The support document that you refrerred from explains it, however I have posted it here.
    Error 3014
    This error occurs when iTunes is unable to reach gs.apple.com in a timely fashion. Follow the steps below in Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com.

  • After i upgrade  to a new phone, will my old 4s still continue to work on wifi for apps and music? or do I need phone service?

    after i upgrade  to a new phone, will my old 4s continue to work on wifi for apps and music only? to be used like an ipod?

    The support article referenced says to insert the SIM Card from my new phone in the old phone.  That won't work since I have an iPhone 5 and the iPhone 4S uses a different size SIM card. 
    What do I need to do to get past the "Insert a SIM card" message when I don't have the right size card lying around?

    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.
