Problem restoring Iphone 4 backup onto my new Iphone 5 with Itunes!

I just purchased a new Iphone 5, started it and in the configuration chose restore from itunes backup. The Iphone was connected to Itunes and the Iphone 4 backup restored onto my new phone, however only very few apps made it to the new Iphone 5! Any idea? Diskspace is the same on both phones and not full at all.

iTunes 10.7 and the iPhone 5 require Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer. Mac OS X 10.6.8 requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB of RAM; to get it, click here, buy and install the DVD, and run Software Update.

    If iTunes is otherwise working properly start with TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, otherwise move on to Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

  • I'm waiting for my new iPhone 5s to be delivered. I lost my iPhone 5 but did have it backed up on my MacBook Pro. I was using iOS6 at the time. Will I have a problem restoring the data to my new iPhone 5s assuming it will come with iOS7?

    No, you should not.  There are problems trying to go the other way, but updating a newer iOS release from a backup of an older iOS release has always been supported and is the basic means of setting up a new device from a previous one.

  • I cannot select the last iPhone backup for a new iPhone restore

    why
    i cannot select the last iPhone backup for a new iPhone restore?

    Hey quarterback45,
    Thanks for the question. This usually occurs when your new iPhone is on a earlier iOS version than that of which the backup was created with:
    iOS: Unable to restore from backup of a newer device

    I have been restoring the backup into a new iphone for a week. My pictures do not get restored however. Is there anything I can do?

    Not unless the phone was backed up to the icloud or in iTunes at some point. I know you said it's crushed but can it be connected to a computer? If so you can still back it up in iTunes and then when the new phone comes use iTunes to restore that back up on it.

  • Problems restoring back-up to a new iPhone

    I have an iPhone 3G 16GB that's crashed. I've been able to make an restore back up from the iPhone using iTunes.
    Now I have a new iPhone 3G 16GB where I want to set my recovery to.
    But every time, when I give iTunes the order to Restore the new iPhone from Back up. After selecting the proper Backup. It's estimating the amount of time it needs. right after that i keep getting the same error. : Can't restore iPhone ...., because an error has occured.
    http://tinypic.com/r/29eosh0/7
    Sorry the Picture of the error is in Dutch.
    it doesn't show an error or something...
    Can someone help me?

    Setting up the new phone with the backup of the old one should restore the 3rd party app data. It may be that some programs prevent that from happening, for security reasons, when restoring to a different device - Wi-Fi passwords are treated like that (properly restored to the same device, not restored to a different device).

  • Restored from backup after a new iPhone and had photos on the phone. Is it possible to retrieve them?

    Hi guys I recently got a 5S and restored from backup.
    Before restoring from backup I had a few photos I had taken, is it possible to get them back?
    Thanks.

    Hi Agebrah,
    If you set up your iPhone prior to your restore from backup, have iCloud, and had Photo Stream turned on, there is a chance that those photos may be in your Photo Stream. You may find the information in the following article helpful:

  • How can i restore all my old iphone settings onto a new iPhone 5?

    I lost my iPhone 4s… major inconvenience. but how can I best move forward? If I go to the apple store  and buy a new iphone, will they know how to recover all my info from my lost phone with my cloud?
    Any suggestions for how to best, and most quickly to fix everything??
    Thanks so much for the advice!

    You are not talking to Apple here. We are users just like you. You can sell your iPhone and get another if you wish. Thai is up to you. Apple will not exchange/buy your iPhone, if that is what you are asking.
    FaceTime is banned in UAE and any iPhone sold there must have FT PERMANENTLY disabled. You will not be able to use FT on any phone that is legally sold in KSA or the UAE, no matter if you are in India or anywhere else in the world. Sorry.

  • How do I get my photos from my old iphone 4 onto my new iphone 5c?

    How do I get my photos from my old ipone 4 onto my new ipone 5c?

    Do you still have the old iPhone? If so, one option would be to import the photos to a computer iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer and then sync them from the computer to the new phone iTunes: Syncing photos
    That is a number of steps but one advantage of doing that is that you then have a copy on the computer where they are safe in the event of loss of the phone, hardware problem or other things that can happen to the phone.
    The other option is by a backup and restore, assuming you still have the old phone or that you did a backup when you had it. A possible disadvantage is that the restore is complete -- i.e., it will overwrite anything you have already added to the new phone such as new photos. iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    A third option would be a 3rd party app installed on each the old and new phone; one example is http://www.photosync-app.com

    i have updated everything my itunes to the latest software on the phone but still the same error

    I logged into my account, then I synced all my songs onto the library using my iPod. All my songs are on there except the ones from CD's.

  • Computer crashed, how do I get my Ipod songs onto a new computer with itune

    Please help. My computer died and I lost everything on it. I have a new computer and have downloaded a new itunes 7.0
    How do I get my songs off my Ipod to my new computer and then to the new itunes

    If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    iGadget Windows Only
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only
    CopyPod Windows Only
    If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting to your new computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • How do I restore a broken iPhone's backup onto my new one?

    Hi,
    My iPhone 4s recently stopped working (not the phone itself, just he screen) so I cannot get into it to set up an icloud backup or whatever. I luckily made a backup only a day before it broke, so now I want to put that backup onto my new iPhone 4s. Unfortunately, when I click "restore backup.." it says that my iPhone has never been backed up onto my computer, and thus it finds no backups that I can restore it to. I am aware I never backed it up, but I am unsure of how to access my backup from my old iPhone when I plug in my new iPhone into itunes. Any ideas??
    Thank you

    Easy.  Restore the new iPod from the backup of the old iPod.  See the restoring topic of:

  • IPhone 5s wireless connectivity issues, cannot upload files/state to iCloud, and supposedly needing to do so in order to get my files/state onto a new iPhone 6 Plus

    I am trying to get my files from my old iPhone 5s onto my new iPhone 6 Plus. I am currently and have been using iCloud to backup my files/state. However, I believe the antenna on the iPhone 5s went kaput a few months ago, because the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, both, do not work at all, meaning, I have tried all solutions including, resetting network settings, restarting the phone, etc. This is problematic because, as far as I know the iPhone 5s needs to be connected to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to a Wi-Fi Hotspot in order to ask the internet, in order to upload current information/state to iCloud. Herein lies my problem.
    I have used iCloud already, to download my current files/state to my iPhone 6, with a caveat, these are only the files/state from before the antenna supposedly went kaput. That means, that all of my files/state since that time, while still being on my iPhone 5s, is not uploaded to iCloud, which then means I do not have it on my iPhone 6 which was updated to the most current files/state that was available at the time.
    What do I do?
    I have iTunes installed on a Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 Computer, and I have made a backup on there. However, I have to admit, I find iTunes very counter-intuitive and very difficult to use/understand. And I'm mostly referring to the syncing/backing-up features. I know you have to have safe guards to protect software usage, but with this high-minded philosophy of minimalism, couldn't it be as easy as drag and drop? Even software syncing? USB syncing with iCloud, etc?

    Thank you for the information. I checked out the section and read it through. From what I can gather, you can start your new iPhone from an itunes backup (Set Up Iphone > Restore from iTunes Backup), but, in my situation I need to add the Files/State from the old iPhone backup to the new iPhone that was started from scratch and has it's own unique Files/State, without subtracting from either. The problem is, that I don't want to subtract anything, and from what I understand about Syncing, if I am Syncing a new iPhone that's been started up, edited, has it's own suite of apps, etc. to an old backup of a previous iPhone, I am going to lose everything new I've done, as it will sync with the previous Files/State.

  • HT201269 how do i get my music and purchased apps onto a new iphone?

    I restored the iCloud backup onto my new iPhone 6 and none of my music, certain apps and my audiobooks did not appear.   Can anyone help?

    Hi
    I added an email address under mailboxes but I don't see how to add my password and access my emails there.  When I click on inbox it only recognises iCloud messages there.
    How can I connect it to my Hotmail?
    Thanks
