Store clerk activated new iphone 4s before i backed up old iphone

Is there anything I can do now to get my contacts, apps, photos etc? When I plug in my 4s it does not give me the option to restore from a previous backup.

Select Restore under the Summary tab and when prompted, select from the backup for your old iPhone.
Having the iPhone activated in the store should not have prevented being prompted to set the iPhone up as a new iPhone or from the backup of a previous iPhone the first time the new iPhone was connected to your computer.

  • Activating new iPhone & downloading software

    Anyone else having issues activing new iphone because of iTunes software and Apple password? I keep downloading the new software on computer, but phone saying not loaded. And when I try to connect using Apple log-in & password, Apple is telling me I have been locked out and need to do password reset which I have done twice. I am not getting anywhere with this. Any suggestions?

    Contact your carrier.

    How to recover all my apps purchased form App store on my new iphone ?

    If your former iPhone or iOS device was backed up wirelessly with your Apple iCloud account, when going through the setup assistant with a new iPhone you are prompted to transfer the backup for another iPhone or iOS device. A record of all apps that are or were on the the other iOS device will be transferred to the new iPhone along with all other data included with the backup. Each app will be downloaded.
    Or all apps can be re-downloaded manually by the iPhone one by one, or if all apps are in your iTunes library on your computer you can transfer the apps to the new iPhone via the iTunes sync process.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

    Make sure you have entered your Apple ID and password in settings (under Settings -> Store, Apple ID is at the bottom).  Enter the ID and password you use to make purchased in the iTunes store and you should then be able to connect to the store using iTunes on your phone.

  • I made a mistake when activating new iphone 5 from I cloud backup.

    I made a mistake and did not do a current icloud backup on my 4s before activating my iPhone 5. I just wasnt thinking... I set up the iPhone 5 from an icloud backup that was 4 months ago... Now all of my text messages from after that are missing. I need a lot of the missing texts. Even though my 4s does not have any service all of the texts are still on it... Can I get all the missing texts on to my iphone 5??  Thanks!!

  • HT201269 Activating new iPhone

    I ordered a new iPhone 5 direct from Apple and it was just delivered. Transferring the data from my iPhone 4 to the new one should be a rather simple task using iTunes. But how does one activate the a new iPhone once the data has been transferred to it?

  • Old Illustrator file, revised to new, saved to pdf, reverting back to old Illustrator file

    After making a new Illustrator file from an old one, then saving it as a pdf, the new Illustrator file reverts back to old one. I have been using the pdf to make the Illustrator file again (luckily I've saved it as editable) but I don't always want to add this extra procedure. Does anyone have this issue or any clues on how this happens and how to fix the problem?

    when you made your changes and then saved as, you saved your changes to a new file. your original file closes without saving and the open file in illustrator is the new one (in your case the PDF).
    evertime you save as you are making a new file without affecting the old file.
    you should first save your changes and then save as. but after the save as, the opened file will no longer be the original file.
    if you do a Save As Copy. then you will be saving a new file which will be closed and your original file will remain open.

  • Problem setting up store account on new iphone

    Hi,
    I've just got an iphone 3gs for my wife, but I'm having a lot of difficulty setting up an account for her. I first tried to sign in with my own apple id. When I tried to download a free app, I was asked to verify my account, but when I put in the right details, clicked next - nothing happened. There were no error messages, the screen just doesn't move on and the next button disappears. So I tried to setup a new account for her. This time I got as far as the new account window, put in her email, password, dob and ticked subscribe options, pressed next - and again, nothing. The screen just sits there. I've installed updates and tried a hard reset. The other curious thing is that each time I hook the phone up to my Mac it sets it up as a new phone.
    Any help v much appreciated!

    Then you need to generate an application specific password to read gmail using the iOS mail app. The alternative is to download the gmail app from the app store and use it to manage your gmail.

  • Issues activating new iPhone

    Hi There,
    Trying to activate new 5c purchased yesterday. I was initially recieving Error Message = Cannot load  SyncUICoreLocalized.dll I reinstalled itunes per Apple suppport advice,and follwed thee step accordingly. Now the synsc completes when I plug in iPhone but after going through all 6 steps my phone goes back to "connect to itunes" I have restared itunes and tried several times but phone will not activate. Any ideas?

    Did you try to activate the phone by using iCloud (and not connect to iTunes)? You do not need to connect to iTunes to activate the phone. You can then go back after activation and connect to itunes to sync. When you do, do you still get the error?

  • Activating new iPhone 4 on iTunes

    I have a question-I am getting my new phone tomorrow at the store where I understand they will activate it. Then I think I am supposed to go home and sync it to my computer on iTunes. My question is: is there a way to connect it to my computer but not sync all of the apps, photos etc that are on my computer? I kind of want to start fresh and not put all of the apps I have from my 3G phone/computer on my new phone. I'm sure this is a no brainer but I figured people would know the answer here! Thank you!

    Yup, just sync it to your iTunes and it'll give you the option to either set it up as a new phone or to use the settings from your last restore point.
