Cannot sync old phone info to 4s

I have gone through a 3s and two 4's without any trouble syncing the previous phones data. Though with the new iphone 4s i cant seem to sync the information (contacts and notes are my prioity) from my previous phones. unfortunatly both my iphone 4's were stolen and when i went to restore old information on my 4S it just restored itself to how it is now. Im on the same computer i was when syncing all the other phones, so im hoping that the old back up are still on the computer and that itunes didnt just screw me over. If there any help at all, its much appreciated, the notes on the iphones were very important to me = <

By reading the support document that you linked to the forum with. Backup old device, activate new device, restore from backup of old device on new device.

How to re-activate old phone onto account.

So we recently added my mother onto family account as she needs cell phone.
Problem is she is really good with any kind of technology and has trouble with phone we got her.
I have an old flip phone that is alot easier to use, just numbers and green and red call and end button.
How do I activate it on the account? is it *228 ?
Its a family plan with 3 users, not sure how to go abouts doing it

Turn OFF the phone she is using now, on the phone you want to activate dial *228, press 1, enter her number, enter the billing account passcode(if asked for), and music should start playing and phone will say programming sucessful and reboot.

Restored old phone to new phone and lost ALL my pics, is there any way to "unrestore" a phone? i thought i backup my new phone before the restore but am unable to find it. HELP

Got a new phone. Took pics on vacation with new phone. Wanted to sync old phone with new phone. Restored old phone to new phone, not realizing it would erase new phone content. Is there any way to get that info back? Thought i had performed a back up, but am unable to find it. HELP

With a backup yes, no backup then no.

I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6. Everything converted fine until I deleted an app in error. When I downloaded it from iTunes, my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers. Can I go back and re-sync one app from my old phone?

I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6. Everything converted fine. Yesterday I deleted an app in error. When I downloaded the software it from iTunes ( did this many times on the old 3GS), my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers (Playtika), even though it did after the initial conversion. Can I go back and re-sync just one app from my old phone?

Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

I just purchased 2 new iPhones for my wife and I and set them up. We want to give the old phones to our kids, with the ability to share all the songs in my iTunes account. How do I want to give new names so our old phones sync with our kids names?

Sorry for the long intro question. I just bought a new iPhone 5S for me and a new 5C for my wife.
We want to give our kids my old 4S and my wife's old 4. We backed up our old phones and restored
our info to our new ones, but when we connect our old phones, they still show all our songs and iTunes
settings on them (along with the same names as our new ones).
We want to set up our old iPhones for our kids to be able to have their own names on theirs so that
when we connect to my iTunes computer, it sees each phone accordingly, and has only the songs
that they select (whereas I want to keep ALL my songs in my iTunes account on mine, not just some).
How do I do this?

You are most welcome

I bought a new phone, and am trying to sync to my old phone on the cloud...how do I do this? Had to initially update to 6.1 system so can't use the initial configuation...help!

I just bought a new IPhone 5-had tp update the operating system to be able to sync it with my axisting phone which was on 6.1 (new phone was on 6.0.1). So the new phone is now synced to an old version of my old phone that was on ITunes...how do I get it to sync to the newest version of my old phone that is on iCloud??

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

My wife and I share an iTunes account. Is there any way to set up a seperate one for her to sync her phone contacts, iCloud and music to without having to purchase all her music again and then share going forward?

It would be so much easier having seperate accounts but we have hundreds of her purchased songs on my account and she would need to be able to access these from her account. Possible?
Also, if we bought a song in future we would want to be able to both have access to it.
Alternatively, what is the easy way to sync two distinctly different contact lists to one iTunes account?
Thank you in advance.

FYI: iTunes account (used to make purchases) is not the same as iTunes library (iTunes on your computer with music, movies, etc.).

You can but you will not be able to limit what she syncs.
I would like to avoid 'checking' and 'unchecking' individual songs every time one of us tries to synch our ipods to the library.
I don't recommend using (only) the checkmarks to select what to sync.
Each of you can create your own playlists then sync only those playlists.
Then add/delete from your own playlists to change iPod content.
The only time I uncheck items is if I rarely/never want to sync them to anything, such as Christmas music or old audiobooks.
I suggest you each have your own computer login account. Then everyone has their own contacts, calendars, and everything else.
You and your husband can share an iTunes library and let your daughter have her own.

HT1692 How do I get my old contacts that were last synced on my ITunes account through my laptop (USB) to my new iPad ? I no longer have a laptop just my iPad mini.

How do I get my old contacts that were last synced on my ITunes account through my laptop (USB) to my new iPad ? I no longer have a laptop just my iPad mini.

So the contacts were synced to the computer you no longer have? You could use a free app like MCBackup and email the contacts from the ipad to yourself and open the email on your phone and then import the contacts from the email to the phone

I purchased a new iphone4 and it wouldn't sync with my backup as it needed the 5.1.1 update so i treated it as a new phone and now i still can't get it to sync up w the backup as i want it to bc it has it's own "identity". how do i sync it to my old phone

my new iphone 4 needed an update to sync with my old iphone 4 which was runnung 5.1.1. I hit the "new phone" button in itunes and set up a new account to update the software and was thought i could still sync it to my phone. But now it considers itself it's own identity, when i plug it in and there is no option i can see to get it to sync my new phone with my old phone's info. frustrated. help?
