Transfering All Data from Iphone 3GS to new PC

Dear Customer Support Team,
I'm a proud owner of Iphone 3GS. Recently, My Computer has been crashed destroying all the Data in my Hard drive and therefore I have changed my PC Harddrive.
I have installed the new Itunes into my PC. But, I'm affraid that i will loose all the datas on my Iphone during Sync with Itunes.
Can you please let me know step by step how to proceed without loosing my valuable datas in my Iphone and transfer onto my PC using I Tunes.
Please advise.
Have a pleasant day and Thanks for the help.
With Best regards,
VJ

Hi VJ and welcome to the Forums,
First, as you will log in with your Apple Store account in iTunes, although you have been syncing with a different computer, you can add/merge your contacts and photos. You can transfer as well your apps.
In regards to music files, you may use some third party software to recover them.
Don't forget to authorize with your account as the first step.

Transfer ALL data from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4s

Hey guys,
My daughter recently got an iPhone 3GS, and wants to buy herself an iPhone 4S.
I know she plays a lot of games on her 3GS, like Clash Of Clans and things like that.
I was just wondering how to transfer all of those files onto her new phone. Would it be better to go through iCloud and backup there, or to connect to our computer and take a backup, then restore it from there?
Thank you for your help

Thank you very much Templeton, that helped me out of a jam
And a very quick response as well

Transferring music/files from Iphone 3gs to new computer

Hi
I have previously transferred music form my ipod to an old laptop, both have since broken or been updated.... so lost the info for the website yamipod...I have had a look to help move everything but for some reason it doesn't work on my computer!! Wrong file and I tried installing two of three recommnded programs (FinalTorrent was one) it still wont let me do it....
I also checked out (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1202) but it doesnt give me the options as shown on screen...
I don't know if I'm being thick (pregnancy brain!!) or not but i really need easy to follow help to save my music on my iphone!
Thanks Jules

Hi Jules,
You must use iTunes software only for syncing music to your iPhone. Yamipod is a third party iPod manager not supported by iTunes.
Since iTunes is dependent on your internet connection, I doubt that FinalTorrent will work.
Make sure your computer meets the minimum requirements for an iPhone 3GS.
iPhone 3GS Tech Specs

You can't merge the backups, you'll have to delete the backup of your old phone. If it says it's currently in use when you try, that will normally clear up on its own but may take 3-5 days to do so. Give it a few days and try deleting the old backup again.
In the meantime, you can create a manual backup of your new phone on your computer by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, clicking on the name of your phone in iTuens, going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking Back Up Now. Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Then you'll be safe until you can start backup up to iCloud again.

how to copy all contacts from iphone 3gs to google nexus 5 ?

Copy the contacts to a supported application on the computer to sync to the Nexus, or you can sync the contacts to a Google account, which you will have with the Nexus and then sync them to the Nexus.

Does anyone know how to transfer my data from iphone to my new laptop?

The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
You need to copy everyhting from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

Need to copy all content from iPhone 3gs to Mac Inc Contacts

Hi,
My wife's iPhone 3GS was synced to Windows 7 PC before it crashed, unfortunately i have no backup, so I need to restore all content from iPhone to either a Mac or PC... her iphone was last updated to OS v4.1... need to update it to OS v5..most important is I need to get contacts and photos off the iphone as well as purchased apps...........HELP!!
Thanks in advance for your help!!

First, iTunes will only sync non-purchased media one direction: from computer to phone. To copy non-purchased media from your phone to your computer (such as ripped CDs, etc.) you will need to purchase 3rd party software such asTouch Copy. Once you recover this media to your new computer, carefully follow wjosten's directions in this post to migrate other data to your new computer: https://discussions.apple.com/message/13356770#13356770.

Just backed up old 4S, then transferred all data to Iphone 5, and the photos already on Iphone 5 were deleted. Can I get them back?

I was trying to transfer my stuff from my 4s to my new iphone 5 just now. I took some photos with my iphone 5 this weekend that were deleted when I transferred the data from my old phone to my new one. Is there a way to get those pictures back?

if you did not backup the 5 or import them in to a cpu then they are gone

Transfering data from Iphone 3Gs to a computer

Hi, (this is my first post on these forums :P) how can i prevent itunes from deleting all my data from my Iphone. I heard that you can download some software, but is there an "apple way" of doing this.
By the way, I really love apple products but can someone tell me whats the logic of having an iTunes Store/App Store on the iphone and be able to download stuff if when you connect it to iTunes it eareses everything?

what about if i download some software? will it work?
No.
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize the computer with the iTunes account with iTunes that was used to purchase/download the iTunes content with the other computer. With the iPhone connected to iTunes and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to file and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.

Question about tranferring data from iPhone 3gs to iPhone 4

I just had a couple quick questions about transferring data from my old phone from my new iPhone 4. The reason i am wondering is because i am worried about whether i will encounter any problems when doing so.
First off i have already sold my phone today, i reset all data and settings from the phone and gave it to my buddy so its gone. I did a full sync and backup yesterday so all the necessary files should be on my computer(windows 7). Now, im basically wondering if i will run into any problems if i restore my iphone 4 from a backup. My 3gs was running 3.1.2 on att. Now i know IDEALLY i would have updated it to iOS 4 before backing it up and used the newest version of itunes, but i did not. Does anyone think this will be a problem for me?
Now with that out of the way, my biggest fear is losing my old data(text messages and notes mainly because i am a pack rat for those type of things) so id like to be SURE that none of my old backups will be deleted in any scenario. The reason i dont just restore it right now is because i want my new phone to be as clutter free as possible. I am going to be putting on here only the apps that i used often and would basically like to transfer over the BARE minimum; texts, notes, and highly used apps... So i guess my main question is can you transfer over only certain things like texts and notes after setting up the phone as a new phone. And if i were to set up the phone as a new phone what would happen to my old backups? Would i be able to selectively restore?
Im afraid that it might not be a possibility to transfer only certain things even though it should be.. i should be able to select a text messages folder and put it on my new phone and be done with it... But anyway i dont want to rant. Can anyone explain to me how this all will work?
ULTIMATE GOAL: Transfer only texts, notes, certain apps(and their data) and NOTHING ELSE.
MOST IMPORTANT THING: Not losing texts and notes. I can deal with putting all the old **** on my new phone and cluttering/slowing it down if i NEED to.
Thank you in advance, sorry for the long post.

If the most important thing for you is keeping old text messages, notes, and voicemail, then you'll need to sync the phone from your existing backup. I know of no other way to access those items.
Once you have synced to the new phone, check that you have those items that were important. Then you can reconnect your phone to iTunes, and change the sync settings to remove the apps or other items you no longer want to keep on the phone.
iPhone backups are stored by iTunes; you can see them by opening your iTunes preferences, clicking on "Devices" and then looking in the window. You can delete old backups from here. I don't know how you can open/read the backups though.
I don't expect you'd have any problems syncing from your old phone's backup, but it's definitely an either/or situation. Since you got rid of the old phone already, it's too late to email yourself your notes, or copy the text messages. Your previous backup is your only solution.

How to transfer stuff from Iphone 3gs to new laptop....

I had an old laptop with all the same info as on my Iphone 3gs. That laptop crashed so I got a new one. I wanT to transfer stuff from my Iphone to the laptop itself. Only I don't know how to do that. It's a windows 7 laptop. Thanks to all. Cheerio!

The music and picture sync is one way - computer to iphone. the only exception is itunes purchases. the iphone is not a backup/storage device.
it has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy of your old computer to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
Your synced pics will be deleted. They are reduced in resolution when synced to iphone. you can e-mail them to yourself, but they will never be of the original resolution again.
Also, if you sync contacts and calendars to a blank computer, then they will be erased as well. Another reason that backups are critical.
You can enter one uniques contact and calendar entry in the new computer. When you first sync you should get the option to merge the data.
After all of this make a backup and maintain it always.
If you do as Eric suggests you may lose everything. So be careful. If you just sync to the new computer, everything will be erased and replaced with content from the new computer.
