Sync 4S to iCloud, then load onto iPhone 5?

I have not been able to figure this one out. I got my new iPhone 5 today. I backed up my iPhone 4S to my computer. When I connected my new 5 to my computer, it used a backup from July, 2010 (and not the one that I had just loaded). Don't know why.
So then I figured I would back up to iCloud from my 4S and load onto the 5. I simply don't know how to accomplish this. Any guidance?

Maybe this will help...?

Music loaded onto iphone has completely stripped my iPhone and replaced it with my husbands setup

Music was loaded onto iPhone 4 (version 6 software upgrade) from Macbook pro to my iphone, when this happened, it copied everything from my husbands iPhone and completely wiped out all of my emails, iphotos, messages, contacts, apps.... my iphone now looks like a duplicate of my husbands. Can this corrected.

You can manage your email accounts in
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars
However, you should still get all of your emails, contacts and calendars on your @icloud.com email account just as you do on your @me.com account.
But if not, you can add and remove accounts listed above.

Sync merges ALL my contact groups onto iPhone

I have my Outlook set up with 4 sets of contacts. The main one that I use at my desktop everyday is just called Contacts, but I have 3 other groups with different names. What they share is that I rarely need to use them. They are either specific to a topic/activity, or they are in a file of "Seldom Used" because I just don't really need them at my fingertips any longer. My iPhone, though, mergers all of them into one big, fat contact list on my phone. Is there a way to only sync with my current, active Contacts file and ignore the others? If so, how do I get rid of all the contacts that are already in my iPhone?

Hi Winston Churchill,
Thank you for answering my question, now I know that only iCloud contacts are synced with iCloud. Going forward, how can I make sure that when I create a new contact that it is included in the iCloud group.
My iphone is backed up (synced) to PC at work so all my contacts are saved in that PC. Can you help me understand what you mean by "If your iOS device can be synced with your PC, sync all your contacts to your contact application and move them between groups there." Can you tell me how I can move the contacts between the groups? Sorry this is all so new to me and I am so lost!! I dont know what the contact application is.... I must sound so dumb. I'm really not in other areas in my life - LOL.
Thank you for taking the time to help me.

Movies won't load onto iPhone 4S

I have a couple of slideshows I made on iMovie years ago that played fine on iPhone 4. Now I cant get them to sync onto iPhone 4S. What am I doing wrong.

What you need to do is download a movie file converter to convert your movies to mp4 which is the ipod format. I use one called "ipodvideoconverter" just google it and you'll find one that works. Just a heads up though... it usually takes 3-5 hours to convert a 2 hour movie.

Old contacts on cloud keep loading onto iphone instead of updated imac contacts.

My new iphone using outdated contacts from the cloud instead of updated files on my imac. How do I purge old files from cloud?

Hi there.
I'm in a similar position to you. I have Snow Leopard, so no iCloud stuff (though iTunes tells me that my Contacts and Bookmarks should be updating over the air - not working yet). So no iCloud options on our Macs.
I guess for you, as your Mac is not getting involved, iCloud is just backing up your iPhone Contacts to iCloud (like mine).
Did you check the Contacts in the iCloud? Are they the old ones?
As it's changing the contacts, that must be the case. So…
Turn off iCloud Contacts syncing on your iPhone.
It will ask if you want to delete them. Choose delete.
Sign into iCloud online and delete them ALL.
https://www.icloud.com/
Select all via the options cog.
Then delete all via the options cog.
iCloud Contacts all empty?… then continue.
Re-sync your iPhone with on your Mac…
…ticking the "Replace your iPhone Contacts with those on your Mac" box (bottom of Info tab).
Your correct Contacts should be back.
Next, turn on iCloud Contacts syncing on your iPhone.
Choose Merge.
Refresh the iCloud Contacts online page to check.
Hopefully all should now correct - both online and on the iPhone!
Does that help?
Cheers, Simon.

Loading SQLite databases, and then loading onto grid

Gidday
Currently, my AIR app takes about 5 mins to open and load a 43mb SQLite db into a datagdrid. Is this par for the course?
Just wondering if there is a standard way of doing this I missed.
Flash Pro CS6
Cheers for taking a look

i've never loaded a sqlite db that large before, but assuming that database is local and loaded from the same harddrive containing the air app, that does not sound right.

TS4036 how can i sync with my icloud account to iPhone?

how can I sync with my icloud account to my Iphone not from my itunes account?

Download iCloud for Windows and follow the instructions.

TS4036 My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud.

My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud. When I go to iCloud.com my photostream is not there.

A response I put together from another post. Also going into iTunes and choosing to sync phone to iCloud then back "this computer" sometimes works.
First thing.. Stop where you are. Don't try to sync, update, hard reset, iCloud... Just stop.
Check on your phone under 'SETTINGS' 'GENERAL' USAGE'. It should show some value for PHOTOSTREAM. Also, connect to iTunes and you will notice at the bottom of your phones summary page that there is a large amount of 'OTHER' data.
I used third party software called iExplorer (formerly iPhone explorer). In this program you select 'MEDIA FOLDER', then 'DCIM'. In the various apple folders (IE: 101APPLE) you should be able to preview your photos and copy them to your desktop.
From there sync them back to your device through iTunes or whatever method you use.
There is a simpler solution I'm sure, which may involve using iExplorer to delete some .plist files then restart the phone and let it rebuild. I'm going to try it myself AFTER I've finished copying all the photos to my MAC
Hope this helps.

What apps can i download onto iphone 3g

what apps can i down load onto iphone 3g

Lots. You can see if it's compatible with your iPhone in the information about the App. Like the one shown below. If the App requires anything above iOS 4.2.1 then it will not work with your iPhone.

Help! Syncing iPad with iCloud after setting it to sync with iTunes

I bought my iPad yesterday and synced it with iTunes. Now I want to sync it with iCloud (I have my iPhone 4 backed up in iCloud). Do I need to restore my iPad?.

I don't actually play games on my iPad or phone but I believe that games need to work through the game centre for data to sync like that. Although its also technically possible for games to do it through document and data syncing in the iCloud system preferences, but I don't know if any games have taken advantage of the possibility yet.

Syncing some songs onto iPhone hard drive via USB, but streaming the rest via iCloud?

Hi,
I have a lot of music, well over 50 GB. I have iCloud and iTunes Match. I recently got a 32GB iPhone 5. I was under the impression that I could sync some of my music library onto my iPhone via USB from my mac, but then still be able to access the rest of my songs via iCloud?
1. I live out in the country where cell service and/or Wifi is not always available.
2. I would like to have the songs I listen to most on my iPhone's hard drive, so I don't have to waste my data to stream them. However, if there's an artist that I don't listen to very often and is not on my hard drive, I would still like to be able to pull them up and stream them via iCloud.
When I had iTunes Match turned on on my iPhone, I would press Sync on iTunes and nothing would happen. I could access all of my music on my iPhone, but none of it was actually on the hard drive, it was all just streaming from iCloud. Searching around online and on these forums, I found that the only way to actually put music onto the iPhone's hard drive is to turn iTunes Match off. However, I also read that if you turn it back on after, it will just erase your previous library?
It seems there should be a way to do this? I can't be the only person with too many songs to fit on the iPhone that doesn't want to pay to stream every song?
I have also heard a lot of bad things about syncing via Wifi, and that it will eat up your data plan. I would like to be able to sync my songs via USB, but then still access the rest of my library via iCloud.
Please let me know if this is possible. Any assistance is appreciated.

You should be seeing something like this:
Playlist:
Artist:
Album:

Bought the new iphone and tried to restore it to my old iphone settings. It synced some of the old data onto it, but then it froze and continues to. It says to restore it but I'm afraid to lose my contacts. Will the contacts be lost?

Hello timotim56,
This can be achieved by removing the device via iCloud.com
