  • I did not sync music properly to computer from iphone3.  have new iphone4.  how can i get music off old phone onto new one.  new phone all set up.  help

    I did not sync my iphone3 music to my computer.  Thought I did it properly but did not.  New at this stuff.  Now my IT person installed and configured my new iphone4 and my music is on old phone.  Anyway to get it to new phone.  Help.:)

    Set up your new phone as if it were the old one. Settings, mail, mobile me, same email same password that you used on old phone. You can still sync the old phone to iTunes library. You may have to click on picture of phone on the left & click on back up iPhone.  You'll see songs, contacts & calendar downloading in apple slot at the top. When done connect new phone. Authorize computer put in apple ID when that screen comes up & that should allow both phones to share the library. If you use the same ID the same information will be on both phones.

  • I tried to sync my iPhone with iTunes, was asked if i wanted to use old phone or new.  I pressed old and lost  recent photos and apps.  what can i do to undo this mess

    An update was requested in my iphone settings to sync my iphone with itunes.  In my attempt to do this, I chose to sync with my old phone and lost all recent photos and apps.  Is there any way to reverse this mess and retrieve what I had?

    So, what i need to is
    1. Check my iphone backup first if avaiable
    2. Do ' restore ' my iphone at itunes
    Is it correct?
    After i do all of this, what is the next step? Is it
    1. Just plug in back my iphone and itunes will automatically sync asking to use a backup ipnone?
    Or need to do manually?
    Make me confuse is, if i do all the step as previous mention, but pc still recognize my iphone as a ipod everytime i plug in into itunes.
    How if i in pc dont have my iphone backup ? Because since first time plug in into itunes, i was used the ipod backup?
    Sorry to ask too much since i really need help from your guys

  • 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.

  • HT201272 Problem with app from old phone to new phone

    I had to get a new iPhone 5 and downloaded my existing apps through iCloud. However, one of the apps from my old phone was upgraded and I paid a yearly subscription fee. When I received my new phone and downloaded this upgraded app, my new phone did not recognize my paid subscription and now is prompting me for another upgrade. How do I get this phone to recognize my upgraded app?

    back up your old phone using that
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    erase your new phone, by going to settings general reset -erase content and reset all settings
    connect to your mac and restore from your back up.
    Do not sync contacts, since your mountain lion has contacts of your husband.
    Verify, that you use separate icloud accounts. Do not sync anything with itunes (including your apps and music) until you sign in to your own icloud account, after you verify that you have your own contacts on the phone.

  • How to get pics from old phone to new phone using iCloud.

    I just got the iPhone 5s and I used to have a 4. I backed up my pictures and contacts but the only thing that's on my new phone is my contacts. My old phone won't come back on. I need my pictures off of my old phone. My new phone says I don't have enough iCloud storage to backup. When I go to settings, iCloud, storage and backup, it lists my old phone and my new one. I don't know how to get my pictures back.

    You have to use the other account or turn on sharing.

  • Sync old library to new

    Hi. I have an iPod that I used with PC/iTunes for PC. I have a new Mac, set up iTunes, bought some music and realized my library didn't transfer. So I hooked up my iPod and had to open the old library. The problem is now I have two libraries and I'd like them to be one. How do I do this without losing my music??

    Tinay,
    Photos on the iPhone will only sync one direction. If you originally synced the photos from your old computer, they will not be able to sync back to your new computer. Any pictures that you have taken with the iPhone will be able to sync back to your new computer, however.
    Here is an article that explains the different ways the iPhone syncs with your computer:
