Restore 3 times to get old apps & data onto new 3GS

Just discovered I had to perform 3 restores from my existing 3G backup to get (nearly) everything across to a new 3GS. First restore transferred core phone settings, 2nd copied across the apps with no app data, the third restored the 3G app data. Whew!!
Still didn't restore any iPod content, but I can copy that over easily.
(Oh, to do a forced restore, right-click on the device in iTunes & select Restore from Backup)
Cheers,
John.

Wow! I wonder why you had to do all that. My entire process too about an hour and a half, but I got everything on my 3gs on the first restore.
I wonder if others have had the same difficulty as you getting everything on the first time.

I lost my old iPad, and want to get old apps on my new ipad

Do i have to purchase them again? In App Store ---> Purchased ---> Not on this Ipad, i do not find the app that i have purchased more than 2 years ago. Is it possible to transfer that app over to my new device?

No you don't have to purchase them again.
Regarding the old App: If you have backed up your iPad via iTunes the old App may be in iTunes on your computer. Check there.

Getting old LiveType data into new LiveType

I had the LiveType that came with Final Cut Express 1. Now I have the newest version and none of the old livefonts etc show in the media manager. I've looked about online and to my surprise can not find any information on this. The manual mentioned something about an install/uninstall button on the lower left window of the media manager but the only two buttons in the lower left are grayed out and unclickable. The data was installed before the upgrade and was reinstalled afterwards- no luck. All the files from the original install are AFD format.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated! I need the Sunflower livefont to work for a project I'm carrying over from the old version! EEK!

An hour on the phone with tech support and we figured it out. Appears when upgrading (at least on my system) the old LiveType data folders were OVERWRITTEN. The livetype data folder in LiveType Application Support was there, but the font, object, etc folders were replaced. Reinstalling the old data DVDs does nothing. You have to move the original folders (for example the Pro Series folder) and rename it (to something like "Old Pro Series") then put it back in the appropriate place after the upgrade is done. Now I have all my old livefonts working just fine
Hopefully a fix will come out for this as I know I'm not the only person who has had this problem.

Difficulties getting old backup data to new phone

So, I thought it would be a simple thing to do - But no.I had a Xperia ZR (with Lolipop) and bought myself a Z3 compact. Before I resetted my ZR and made a backup using the backup program that the phone has in it, not PC companion. The result was a nice 800mb file on the SD-card, with all the apps, messeges, contacts and so on on it. So far so good. The major problem starts when I was about to resett all my old data to my new phone, using the exact same program on the Z3 compact. It can´t find the file at all, there is no option in restoring my old data in that app "backup & restore". All files are there in a map called ´.semc-fullbackup´ but the app can´t obviously do anything with it. A little help would be much appriciated! P.S my Sony ZR is sold, so no luck there.. Cheers

There should be another option except for the one which requires the old phone found at Xperia transfer > Sony/Sony Ericsson device > Xperia backup from computer.
I believe you're swedish so it should look like this:

Cannot get old email messages onto new Z10

I have a bb9800 and am trying to get the old email messages off of it onto the new Z10. The 9800 only had the telus.blackberry.net email address and on the Z10 I have the company email. Is there a way to get those emails over other than forwarding them all individually

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
If you mean that you wish to have your old @telus emails visible on your Z10, the answer is no. That email was provided by BIS, and BB10 does not use BIS. Hence, those email addresses cannot be configured to a BB10 device. So, the only way to have those emails on the BB10 device is via forwarding from the @telus email account over to one that indeed can be integrated to the Z10.
BTW -- you need to migrate off of that @telus email address, as it will be going away. They are allowing one year of auto-forwarding (which you need to configure...contact Telus for assistance), after which that @telus email address will cease to exist.
Good luck!

As already provided, if you don't have such in your iTunes library, on your computer, then there is no way to put it back on your phone. Apps are DRM protected, so even if you found a copy somewhere, you wouldn't be able to use it.

Wife just got the 4s and and i took here 4 every time she gets an app it loads on both phones also here notifications come up on both phones

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

If the apps are not on your computer's iTunes (did you do File > Transfer Purchases prior to starting the update ?), then you could try downloading them to your computer (re-downloading) and then restoring to your backup and see if that restores them and their settings/content - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.

Having major issues getting my apps back onto my ipad

Even after reloading my iPad at an Apple store I can't get my old apps nor download new ones

Connect the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes, select your iPad name on the left side of iTunes under "devices", click on the Apps tab in the window on the right, click on the sync apps heading, click sync or apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
After you sync the apps onto the iPad, you can choose to sync over WiFi. Click on the summary tab of iTunes and then click on the button - Sync this iPad over WiFi - then click apply in the lower right corner.
You can sync automatically with iTunes over Wifi when the iPad is plugged into a power source, iTunes is running on your computer and the iPad is locked. You can sync manually as well in Settings>General>iTunes WiFi Sync - tap the arrow and then tap sync now in the next window
