Syncing Backup to New iPhone

Hi,
My dad is getting a new iPhone 4s tomorrow, he currently has a 3Gs.
The 3Gs is currently linked to my computer but I moved out a while ago so he wants his new phone linked to his laptop. Is there anyway of doing this without losing all his contacts etc?
Thanks

If you don't have the prior computer backup files, you may want to look at this to get your information from the phone:

HT201269 tried to restore backup onto new iPhone 4 from old one, but only get error message (-1)??? Help please.

Have tried over and over again. Won't restore backup onto new iPhone 4. I updated the software first, have tried wiping phone and starting fresh. Continue to get message at an error occured. Sometimes it says (-1).

Well, the obviously solution is to use separate Apple ID's for iCloud.

Also, it says the iPhone 5 is not registered to my Apple ID.

Hello hbell,
is there any reason that you do not want
to upgrade to v10.5.? Suggest you call
1-800-275-2273 Apple Support. Automated call
yet if you call back you can get in touch with an
Apple Software Specialist. They may be able to ship
you Leopard so that you can synch your new iPhone
to you own computer. Have the serial numbers of your
Mac and iPhone written down and ready for them.
As far as transferring data to your husbands MacBook
so that you can sync your iPhone on it I am really not
sure. Seems like a lot of trouble to get your data onto
your iPhone.
Good Luck,
A

When I try to choose music to sync to my new iPhone 5S all I see is a blank music screen?

When I try to choose music in iTunes (11.1) to sync to my new iPhone 5S all I see is a blank music screen with 'iTunes Match is on'? On my iPad, iPhone 4 I see all my music as normal? Advice welcome please!
Mark.

I solved this by restoring my iPhone back to new and starting again. Weird.

How to sync iPad to new iphone

I just got a new iPhone want to sync my iPad info to the new iPhone

How can I get my iPad (1st gen) to sync with my new iPhone 5?
They don't sync with each other, they sync individually to your iTunes Library on a computer. Syncing both will result in the same content on each.

No. iOS 5.1.1 is the last version that runs on the original iPad.

Apps and Music are not from iCloud. Are from iTunes and App Store.
You can change this from: Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Sign out and sign in with new ID, but you will have to pay again to download apps that you already have in your old account. Or leave it as it is to share purchases with your son.

Hello jricks8
Check and see what calendar it is being added to. You may see it something that is local to the iPhone or another sync service that is not setup on your computer. Check out the page below to find out more information to sort you out.

HT201269 I have an IPhone 4 that turns off.When I plug the phone into a outlet, it says to connect to iTunes. But my phone doesn't connect. I need to backup info to sync to a new iPhone. Is there another way to get the info from the old one?

I have an IPhone 4 that turns off on its own. When I plug the phone into an outlet, it says to connect to iTunes. When i connect my phone to itunes, the screen displays the apple icon and doesn't connect to iTunes. I need to backup info on this phone so I can apply my back up to a new iPhone. Is there any another way i can do this? My older phone will not show it's connected to iTunes. I used iCloud on the phone with problems, but I didn't back up all the info thru iCloud. Is there another way to back up?

Sounds like your phone is in recovery mode. In this case, all data on it is gone. There's nothing to back up.

ICloud has deleted some 400 notes when syncing with my new iPhone 5. I have a backup on a time capsule.

Hi,
When synching my notes from laptop to new Iphone most of my notes weren't synched. It seems that the notes on 'my computer' were the ones not synching, so I draged a few to iCloud and my gmail account to test. These individual notes went across to iPhone ok, but then all the remaining 400 or so notes on my laptop dissapeared. I had a back up on hard drive, but this was unfortunately also erased in an apple repair store for the same reason.
I have a backup on time machine, but starting a couple of days ago, I can't connect as it says my backup file 'is already in use' - this is a separate issue I know.
Also, I can sometimes reclaim individual notes via spotlight searches which show up as 'messages' from mail app, but this is less than reliiable.
Any way I can get my notes back please?
Many thanks

No, it will still stay as IOS 7.0.4

ITunes will not sync music to new iPhone.

I used to have an iPhone 5S 16GB, and I just got an iPhone 5S 32GB. I went to backup my new phone from iTunes, and it worked fine. Yesterday, I put a new CD on my iTunes and thought I had downloaded it onto my iPhone. I went to listen to the new CD today, but it was not there. I noticed when I plugged my iPhone into my computer, iTunes said under the "On This iPhone" tab that there are 792 songs on the iPhone, and the library shown in iTunes is correct. It has the new CD on it and everything. My iPhone, however, even after trying to sync the correct information multiple times, still has 908 songs on the phone, and the new CD is not one of them. Now my full iTunes has more music, which I have gone through and unchecked what I do not want on my phone. I have the "Sync only checked songs and videos" box checked on the main page. Everything according to iTunes is correct, but it does not match what is on my iPhone. I even tried taking the music off the iPhone and the putting it back on, and the computer said "Syncing 792 songs" but my iPhone still says 908. I can't figure this out, what do I do? Please help!

This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

Unable to sync apps on new iPhone 5

Brand new iPhone 5.
Old iPhone 3GS backed up with iTunes.
iTunes updated to 11.0.1.12 and backup restored to new iPhone. Music, messages etc all synced. Apps do not sync despite many attempts.
iTunes Apps page is checked for "Automatically sync new apps"
iPhone Settings > General > Restrictions not enabled.
iPhone is logged into App Store and so is iTunes.
iTunes has a strange phenomenon. When turned on and conneced to the phone, there are only four screens:
Now, if I begin to drag some apps from the left, this is what happens:
Notice the extra screens that appeared on the right They were created some time ago after the purchase by dragging every desired app.
Clicking Apply goes through the motions of a sync very quickly, but nothing is transferred to the iPhone 5.
The buttons on the bottom right change to say "Sync"
If I click "Sync", very briefly, the progress bar (or whatever it is called) shows the green Apps bar a little wider, but then it shrinks back to the slim green bar.
No app has synced and the phone still has three screens, not what iTunes shows.
Please advise.

Dfu means device firmware upgrade
Press and hold Power + Home buttons together (10sec)
Phone will go blank
Before Apple logo comes, release the Power n keep holding Home button
Until you see a pop in the PC that Apple device in recovery mode
At that point iTunes will pop asking to restore iphone
Click restore or
before u click restore just download the iOS 6.0.2 on say desktop
After that press and hold shift on ur keyboard then click restore
It will allow u to navigate and select the iOS firmware u just downloaded
That's it. When done, restore from your iphone backup, and syncing starts working
