Transfer from iPhone 3G to iPhone 4 issues

Hello everyone,
I have an issue with the transfer of my data from one iPhone to another where one might know moe than I do...
Situation:
Transfer Data from ipgone 3g (4.2.1) to iPhone 4 (7.1.2)
So here is what I did:
1) Create 3g Backup
2) Clean up iphone 4, including I cloud etc
3) Reset iphone 4
4) Recover from Backup of iphone 3g on bnlank iphone 4
Result:
It seems to work but everytime it finishes working on it the iPhone 4 is back to the blank start screen (select language and so on)
So my question is, if it is simply not possible to use an ios 4.2.1 Backup on an ios 7.1.2 phone or if I am missing something?
Thanks a lot!

Thanksfor your reply. Unfortunatly i did exactly what is mentionend by apple: 1. Run backup 2. Erase find my backup on new phone 3. Erase new phone back to factory settings 4. Connect to itunes, restore with existing backup. I actually did the procedure several times by now with no luck. It seems to me that either the erasing of find my iphone went wrong or that the 4.2.1 backup does not really work with ios 7. I would be gratefull for any other ideas!

What are you doing to try to transfer them and what error are you getting? There are probably a dozen possible reasons, so narrowing it down would be very helpful.

There is no duplication. This is how the iphone handles photos.
Just as one book can be in the public library and that exact saem book can be in the fiction section, a photo is in the photo library ( with ALL other photos synced to the iphone) and that exact same photo can be accessed from the individual folder.
If you wanted to show your family a slide show of all of your photos, then you would use the photo library. if you wanted them to see only Christmas pics, then you would use the folder.
There are not two pictures, simply two places from which to access the same pic.

If you mean the contents such as music, calendars, photos, etc., you would need iTunes.

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"

Can't get Contacts/Calendar to transfer from iPod Touch to iPhone 3Gs

Just got the new iPhone 3Gs, and I have an iPod Touch (1st gen). I chose to sync manually because I didn't want my son's apps on my iPhone, but when I tried to sync my contacts and calendar from the iTouch to the iPhone, I get no contacts. How can I transfer my contacts and calendar from my iTouch to my iPhone? Thanks!

Thanks, but the link to the iPad user guide was not particularly helpful.
It turns out that iTunes is not smart enough to let me download movies to multiple devices. So, I had to transfer from my iPad to my library, and then transfer from there to my iPhone. I would have expected iTunes to know that I had purchased it, and just let me download it again on my other device.

Hello Jfalconi19,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with transferring the apps purchased from the iTunes Store. I recommend following the steps in this article:

HT4191 How do I copy/transfer Notes from iPhone "On This iPhone" folder to iCloud?

"If you have notes in these folders, you will need to copy or transfer them to iCloud or IMAP to sync with your other devices." Great! How?

So sorry everyone; my last post was confusing! I am new at this. I am trying to deal with two issues. Neither notes nor pages is syncing right with iCloud drive. I am having the same problems now on the iPhone with Pages that I was having with notes, so I reloaded Pages it and it helped with most the Pages docs. (Sorry this thread is the wrong place to mention that.) Originally, I found "Notes" difficult for organizing my notes, so I copied the important ones into pages. Now Pages doesn't sync either and that's what I was addressing in my last post by mistake.
Back to discussing notes; maybe this will help someone. From Notes on the iPhone, I go to accounts in the top left corner. In Accounts I choose "On My iPhone" and copy the note in my iPhone that I want to get into iCloud. Then I go back to Accounts and then choose "iCloud". In iCloud I paste the copied note from the iPhone account into a new note in the iCloud account. It seems to then save to the cloud. It is essentially just adding a new note to the cloud, but I don't have to retype it. I would imagine there is an easier way than this work-around, though. Chris, thanks again.

How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?

hi,
i'm seriously considering buying an iphone. but before i do, i just have a couple of questions:
1. How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?
2. Will there be an iphone with higher memory capacity than 16gb? If so, when will it be out. (If there will be memory sizes of ipod similar to ipod classic, then i think it's better if i wait a little longer considering that there's only little difference in the price).
Thank you!!

I don't believe there will be an iPhone with storage capacity equivalent to the iPod Classic anytime soon - at least not within the next month, or even this year or the next.
The iPod Classic has a hard drive. The iPod Touch and iPhone have Flash storage. Flash storage is more expensive than the hard drive equivalent, but the cost for Flash storage is coming down - supply an demand is probably helping this. The iPod Touch has double the storage capacity of the largest iPhone storage capacity since the iPod Touch doesn't include a cell phone - the case has more room for two 16GB Flash drives. More than likely there will be a 32GB iPhone at some point, but I believe it will be a while before we see a 64GB iPhone or larger approaching the storage capacity that is available with an iPod Classic.

HT1766 How can I transfer music from iphone 4 to iphone 4s without using computer syncying or icloud?

I have an iphone 4 with music downloaded from my Macbook which was originally downloaded from CDs. I now have an iphone 4s that will not sync with my old Macbook because it does not have the most recent version of itunes. Macbook is too old for new itunes. I want to transfer music on iphone 4 to iphone 4s. icloud will only transfer music to 4s that was originally purchsed through itunes and will not transfer CD music from iphone 4. How can I transfer this music to my new phone?

The Mac version of the iPhone PC suite supports to backup iPhone music to PC and iTunes with ID3 Tag Info preserved. Try it.

Transfer them from the blackberry to your computer, using whatever program is best for that, into your addressbook or contacts app on your compuer (Outlook, for example).
Then use iTunes to sync them from Outlook to your iPhone.
