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

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today and they set it up in the store using my iCloud accout be it hasn't been updated in a few months so the data was out of date.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.

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!
-MikeThe 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. -

How do i transfer my data from old iphone to new iphone
how do i transfer my data from old iphone to new iphone
You need to sync the data from your old iPhone, to the computer via iTunes. Once the data is on the computer, you then need to sync it to the new iPhone, also via iTunes.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/how-to/#video-sync - this is a link with a short video that teaches you how to sync your iPod / iPhone using iTunes
If you sycn with iCloud, you can also sync some of the data via iCloud. This may not work for all you music, if it was not purchased via iTunes. -

What is the best/safest way to transfer contacts/data from old phones (5) to new (6 and 6 ). I did "back up to this computer" for both phones. After activation (verizon) do I just plug into iTunes? One of the old phones is still using iOS 7, will that be a problem? (the other has iOS 8.1).

How to transfer icloud data from old computer to new computer
how to transfer icloud data from old computer to new computer
The iCloud data will be on the new computer as soon as you download the iCloud control panel and sign into iCloud with your iCloud ID. What you see in iCloud is stored in iCloud, so it really doesn't matter what computer you are on. Once that computer is signed onto iCloud and the iCloud options are selected, you have full access to all of that information, and much of it is pushed back to your computer.
If you are referring to the data in an iCloud backup created by an iOS device, then that is not something that would be on a computer at all.
Does that answer your question? If not, post back with more info about what you are looking to find out.

How do I transfer my data from Palm desktop to iPhone?
How do I transfer my data from Palm desktop to iPhone? I just gave up my Treo 755p in favor of an iPhone. How do I transfer my Treo data (contacts, calendars)
I believe that when you boot your computer for the first time and you are following the onscreen instructions you are prompted whether you want to transfer data from an old mac or PC. If you click 'transfer from an old mac' and follow the onscreen instructions, this may work.
If you have already skipped this step you could use iCloud to transfer data. If you make sure that everything you want to transfer is synced in iCloud, this may also work. -
I can't transfer my data from macbook pro to iPhone 5?
I can't transfer my data from macbook pro to iphone 5?????
Is there anyone to help me?
Thanks in advance.This should work, how did you do? Explain ‘I can’t transfer my files’. You are in the new mac, the older mac is connected via wl network or eth, it is detected and mounted, and does not work?
Firewire would be better, probably with a 400-to-800 fw adapter (6 to 9 pin). -
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
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. -
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" -
HELP! Does anyone know a "Data Recovery Expert" for I-Cloud & I-Phone? - My calender disappeared during I-Cloud transfer of data from my old I-Phone 4 to my new I-Phone 5s. It was on both I-Phones then vanished. (It was evidently not syncing during back-ups on the laptop)
HELP! Does anyone know a "Data Recovery Expert" for I-Cloud & I-Phone? - My calendar disappeared during I-Cloud transfer of data from my old I-Phone 4 to my new I-Phone 5s. It was on both I-Phones then vanished. (It was evidently not syncing during back-ups on the laptop)
The Apple techs are looking. But they can't find it. Nor can they find a back up on my laptop, Evidently when I backed up my Iphone to computer the calendar wasn't syncing. Since I only use the calander on my phone - I never noticed.
The Apple store rep that sold me the I-Phone 5 on Monday, was transferring my contacts and calendar thru I-Cloud (I never used I-Cloud before that moment - and always had it turned off). He successfully transferred the contacts - which are still on my phone), but the Calendar weirdly split into 6 calendars (2 of which were linked to my G-Mail which only had a few entries) (4 were linked to my MSN / Hotmail email and contained all the major events/data). I never created calendars that were separate or liked them to 2 different emails. I just typed entries into the I-Phone calendar. However, the calendar did exist on the new I-Phone for 24 hours. Something happened during transfer. When the Apple Genius Bar tech was attempting to back up my Calendar & merge the 6 calendars, everything disappeared in his hand while he was looking at it.
I am hoping that some really good data recovery expert exists that can restore the calendar that was in both I-Phones yesterday. It is completely devastating if I can't recover it.
Any help, or referrals, is great appreciated!!!!
Thanks!
