Transfer data from old to new iPhone after setup

I Got a new iPhone today and they set it up in the store using my iCloud accout be it hasn't been updated in a few months so the data was out of date. I'm trying to transfer the data from the old phone to the new one using iTunes but I can't figure out how after doing the initial setup? I haven't really used the phone yet so I dont mind doing a factory reset as long as it won't effect my cell and data ( I don't want to have to go back to the store).

You need to plug in your old iPhone first. Then, select backup in iTunes 12. After finishing backup, plug in your new iPhone. You can choose to Restore Backup in the iTunes 12 which you had backup on your old iPhone.

  • TRansfer of data from old to new Iphone

    got an new iphone 5s and on the itune backup wrongly selected backup as a new phone instead of restore backup from old phone, so cannot transfer anything from old phone to new, can anyone help?? thank you

    Thank you Peter but unfortunately I have passed the point were I could chose to back up from old phone. As I mentioned, I incorrectly selected set up as a NEW phone in Itune. So now I don't know how to get the new phone to backup from the old one. I assume that going back to the set up stage of the new Iphone would help but don't know how to get there... any help will be appreciated...thx

  • Migrating data from old to new iPhone?

    I have an older (1st gen) iPhone and am planning to upgrade to a new 3GS next week. Is there an easy way to migrate my data from one phone to the other? By "data," I mean things like:
    - Application settings
    - Stored WiFi networks
    - Paired Bluetooth devices
    - Layout of icons
    - etc.
    (I know that the standard stuff like songs, contacts, e-mail, are all pretty easy to move.)
    Is there a way to just tell iTunes to migrate everything over to the new phone? (And, if so, what is included in "everything"?)
    I ask in part because of an experience I had once with my old phone. The phone had died and when I plugged it into my computer, iTunes gave me a message asking if this "new" iPhone should be replaced with the data from <name of my iPhone>. I said yes, and it seems like most settings were transferred (though not all -- the layout of icons, for example.) Will this same thing happen when I first plug in the 3GS? If so, does anyone know specifically what will be carried over... and what will happen the next time I plug in my old iPhone (the one that apparently will be turning into a glorified iPod Touch)?
    Thanks!
    -Mike

    The first time you connect your iPhone 3GS to your Mac, you will be prompted to transfer the backup for your first generation iPhone to your iPhone 3GS. You should sync your first generation iPhone immediately before doing so to update the backup for the iPhone if needed.
    The backup includes data such as most iPhone settlngs, email account settings, SMS messages, Notes, recent calls, call favorites, photos in your iPhone's camera roll, and 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app. Not the apps (which must be transferred from your iTunes library, and not your home layouts for 3rd party apps.
    You can use your no longer activated first generation iPhone as an iPhone Touch, but in order to complete the process for a firmware update and the same when restoring the iPhone with iTunes if wanted or needed, you need to leave the no longer activated SIM card inserted in the iPhone - the SIM card that was used with the iPhone when the iPhone was activated.

  • Transfer SMS from old to new iPhone

    I have a new iPhone, but during initial setup I did not restore from a backup but chose to do a clean setup. Now I want to move my SMS text messages stored in the old iPhone to my new iPhone. I identified the file where the messages are stored (3d0d7e5fb2ce288813306e4d4636395e047a3d28 .mddata) but replacing it in a backup of the new iPhone and then restoring doesn't help (restore error).
    How can I manage to have my old messages on my new iPhone? Any help to the above or a software tool somewhere?? (there are many to backup but here it is to also transfer!)

    It is my intention to only transfer the SMS messages. I want to avoid to transfer all kind of old caches, temporary files, old passwords etc. I want a clean system, and my messages. Is there any way to do this (not using iTunes backup/restore)?

  • Backup and data transfer from old to new iphone

    I recently upgraded to the iphone 5s from iphone 4 and need to backup and transfer data from old phone to the new phone.  I want to backup using itunes rather than using icloud.  Do I need to disable icloud backup on the old phone before I start the backup process.  Do I need to disable anything on my computer (icloud).  I am using Windows Vista and Itunes Version 10.7.  Would appreciate step by step instructions for backup and transfer..  I am not computer or iphone saavy and don't want to mess things up.

    If you backup with iTunes and you restored from the backup and the data are gone, then there is no where to retrieve them from unless you have another backup that contains those data.
    Launch iTunes on the computer and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. You will see a window with all of your backups listed in it.
    If you see a recent backup that you are certain contains the data that you need, recover deleted data from iPhone backup.
    If your note is gone from iCloud.com there is only a few ways to possibly recover it.
    The first things I would check is a iCloud Backup, a iTunes Backup, or a 3rd party email that may have contained the note. To restore from a iCloud or iTunes backup follow this link. This article explains how to restore a device from either back up.
    Note if you have backed up since the note went missing, you will not have the note on the backup. Make sure you do not back up if trying to restore from a back up as this will back up the content without the note.
    To get to the "Set up assistant" on an iOS device, you must go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Once the phone restarts, you will be at the "Set up Assistant"

    transferring data from old to new and stuck on one min remaining for 1.5 days.  any ideas

    If you have already tried restarting the process and it continues to stall out, the only way to do it is through target disk mode. Because USB C is so new there is not an official way to do it. If you take it into an Apple Store they should transfer your data for free.

  • I just buy a new iphone 4S, i wanna sync my data from 3GS to new iphone but i forget the password for the 3GS

    i just buy a new iphone 4S, i wanna sync my data from 3GS to new iphone but i forget the password for the 3GS

    Connect your 3GS in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
