Synch new phone and not all contacts/calendars came over

Hey, I had a 3gs and did a sync like 2 days ago, now I bought the 4s, did the sync, and lost almost all my contacts, any ideas?

thanks for your reply and input but, Im not sure if it was former or latter that I did, however I do know that I named this latest i phone differently and would have been OK with and expected expected old contacts to be added to the new ones I have recently added directly onto the new phone since I have had it rather than just the old one. I did try the undue/ unsync  but this just seemed to remove all the old backed up ones just added leaving contacts empty? Clearly its my error, but what can be done to restore setting back to time before I connected today?  earlier reset points on itunes show as 2 years ago and relate to old phone.

  • TS3999 I have a new iphone and a new ipad and not all my calendar info is not synching with either device.

    I have a new iphone and an ipad and not all my calendar info from my imac calendar is synching over to either device

    When you say not all your calendar info is being copied over, do you mean individual appointments?
    On each i-Device, open the calendar app, tap Calendars at the bottom, and make sure all the calendars in the list are checked so they will show.  Or tap Show All Calendars at the top.  See if that helps.

    Her contacts would be wherever she put them
    The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service regularly.  If she failed to do this, then they are likely gone.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Navigate to Settings > General > Software Update and install any updates available.
    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.

  • I a got a new phone and backed all of my stuff on to the new one can I now delete the old phone backups off I cloud without deleting the content from my phone?

    I a got a new phone and backed all of my stuff on to the new one can I now delete the old phone backups off I cloud without deleting the content from my phone?

    Yes, absolutely, but before you do, give yourself three or four days to verify that you have everything on the new phone. You also probably will not be able to delete old backup for three days anyway, I have heard that Apple places server in three days lock out after restore from backup initially started.

  • I bought an album and not all the songs came up listed under the artist name.  They came up as separate songs and not as part of an album.  How do I fix this?

    Hello pjmelli921,
    You have to locate the album in itunes. Highlight each track, hold the ctrl button and left click each one.
    Do a right-click on the highlighted blue, select get info, say yes to editing multiple tracks.
    Hit the options tab, change "part of a compliation" to yes, select ok on the bottom right.
    Resync ipod. This should fix it on your ipod after the resync.
    Hope this helps.

  • I set my 3gs up as a new phone and lost all off my contacts is there a way of getting them back?

    Well i was told by an apple guy at the store to restore my phone as a new one to remove al bugs. so i did and lost all of my contacts so i am trying to find out if i can find my contacts somewhere on my computer so i can re-enter them.

    If you had previously configured to sync Contacts with outlook, google or yahoo contacts, you can do the same to recover your contacts.
    Otherwise two options:
    Restore from backup. Right click your iPhone under 'Devices' on iTunes left Pane and select 'Restore from Backup'. Pick the old backup date and restore.  But then this will bring back your old issue you had on your iPhone.
    The other option is to use a third party software to extract info from your backup folder. 
    iPhone Backup Extractor, you can download a free version with limited capability of a paid Registered version: 
    http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com/
    Here are locations of your backup folder.
    Win7 - C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Mobile Sync\Backup
    Vista - C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mobile Sync\Backup
    Winxp- C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\Mobile Sync\Backup

  • Problems with Android 2.1 for Xperia Mini-Pro: no Twitter on Timescape and not all contacts restored - please help!

    Hello all!  I own an Xperia Mini-Pro which I updated with Android 2.1 yesterday.  Having some problems, the main ones being: 1) Timescape does not allow me to sign in to Twitter (it claims my username and password are incorrect, despite successful log-ons with the same details via Twitter Mobile); and 2) not all my backed-up contacts have been restored to my phonebook (and yet they still exist somewhere in the phone - I know this because I can bring up full contact details for people who've sent me SMS - but I cannot find them if I use the phonebook interface).  Someone please help?  Cheers - Jos

    I suggest that you try to clear data and any cache in for the Timescape app.
    Menu> Settings> Applications> Manage Applications> Click on the first hardware button (the one with four squares)> Filter> All> Timescape> Clear data and any cache.
    Then check if you get the same error when trying to log in to Twitter.
    Regarding the contacts I think you should check if they maybe filtered in the phone book. Open the phone book and click on the first hardware button (the one with four squares) > Contacts to view.
    Check if some of your contacts might be filtered.

  • 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 just purchased a new iMac, and not all Youtube videos are not loading

    some of them say "Video not Available".... i have an older PowerPc G5 hooked up next to this new one, and it plays the same youtube videos perfectly

    Did you install the adobe flash player plugin?  Download it only from the adobe flash player plugin download page.  Mount the downloaded dmg and launch the installer.  Check the agree to terms to enable the install button and then click the install button.
    Once installed, the next launch of your browser should allow you to play youtube videos and flash videos on other flash video sites.

  • Can I sync a single iCal calendar only and not all my calendars?

    I use iCal at work and at home. I have two calendars: work and family. I use my .Mac account to sync my two calendars between my home computer and work computer. While at work today I subscribed to several of my employees' iCal calendars so that we could coordinate our schedules. However, now those employee calendars are being sync'd to my home iCal.
    Is there a way to continue using my .Mac account to sync my home and work calendars but not those of my employees??? Thanks in advance!
    Joe

    Thanks for the thought. I just tried that and when I select .Mac in iSync it tells me I no longer use iSync to sync and it opens the .Mac preferences window. The .Mac preferences do not seem to allow specific calendars - just check whether you want "calendars" to sync....
    Is there another way?

  • I had to reset my phone and lost all my ringtones, how do i get my ringtones back if I already bought them?

    I had to reset my iPhone, and when I did I lost all my music and ringtones and all my apps. Well i was able to get my apps and the other music that I bought on iTunes back onto my phone but my ringtones are still missing. I don't want to go buy them again. How do I download them back to my phone? I have spend lots of money on ringtones on my phone. It happened before when I got a new phone and lost all of them. But I really want to know how to download and get them back.

    Yes.

  • I have a friend who was going to sync her phone with my computer to get the new update..  how do i add her phone with out her losing everything on her phone and not getting all my info on her phone..

    i have a friend who was going to sync her phone with my computer to get the new update..  how do i add her phone with out her losing everything on her phone and not getting all my info on her phone..

    First, create a separate login on your computer for your friend. Do this BEFORE you do anything else. Next, make sure iTunes is up to date. Then:
    1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under Preferences>Devices in iTunes.
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book, iCal) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect her phone, iTunes running, do not sync at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on her phone will be in her itunes library).
    6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore her itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding her contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    You should be good to go.
