Transfering data from iPhone 4 to iPhone 5 after setup wizard is completed.

I got a new iPhone and want to transfer data using iCloud. My OS X is an old version so my phone isn't compatible with iTunes. I have to use iCloud but I'm already past the set up so I can't tell my new phone to use data from iCloud. How can I trasnfer my data from my old phone?

Transferring data from old iPad to new iPad after setup

I just got a new iPad Air 2 and got it set up, but it didn't realize until after set up that I had not backed up my old iPad in a long time. So now I'm missing a lot of data. I have since backed up the old iPad, but is there a way to get that data over to my new iPad? I thought about resetting it and starting over but I'm scared that I'll lose ALL of my info (like the cellular data plan that I set up with AT&T).

What you needed to do was back up your old one then when you set up your new one, instead of choosing 'set up as new' you'd choose 'restore from backup' and restore it from the backup you just made of your old one.
In theory you should be able to do that, however it may just be easier to manually transfer the data over.
If it wasn't for the cellular aspect I'd suggest that you just erase your new one and restore it from the backup of your old one, but I don't have enough experience with cellular to know if that would mess that account up or not.

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.

Transfering data from iPhone BACK to Mac

Hi. My Mac's hard drive recently crashed and everything is wiped out. I have a new hard disk now.
My question is: How do I transfer data FROM my iPhone... BACK to my Mac? I would like to transfer data from my iCal, iTunes, iPhotos and contacts.
Would appreciate some advice. It's been a very frustrating experience. I don't want to screw up and end up deleting all my data from my iPhone instead.

While I have read and checked, and looked into this topic, there
isn't a whole bunch of stuff that is easily found via online search
even if the search terms or words are changed around quite a bit.
For just moving iTunes music, that is easier than data; and I can
see the need to re-integrate data and your stuff back to a Mac
especially if you need to restore the computer, should it fail. The
items on an iPhone or iPod Touch, etc, would be essential to a
multi-tasking user who has a home base and needs to save and
use this stuff between several devices you have and own.
Most of the sync information on how to move stuff, tends to delete
the peripheral content from the iPod, iPhone, etc and sets them
back to some pre-used state or default initialization. There must
be some other way, that actually lets the user take control over
items so you can archive and restore, or reuse them in your Mac.
So, with the odds not looking good, on retaining content should
one go through with the often suggested sync or other wiping
results of attaching a Mac to a portable iPod, etc, be careful to
not do that unless you have that content somewhere else first!
Is there a way you could use a gmail account to save and move
items, perhaps if you can upload content there, it can be saved
into a computer via email (wireless, etc) and save it that way?
For the iTunes music, you could check into and see if this thing
called (iTunes, backward) may work. I have not read a lot about
it, though it has been around awhile. Not sure what else it can do.

Trouble transferring data from iPhone 4 to Mac OS X 10.5.8

I borrowed my sister's old iphone 4 whilst i was travelling overseas. Her accounts were still on the phone and it was closed to her carrier so i had to unlock it and change settings around so that i could use my accounts.
Whilst unlocking it i backed up her phone on my iTunes located on my Mac OS X 10.5.8. Now that i am back from travelling, i want to transfer my 4hour voice memo, purchased songs on iTunes and iBook, any purchased apps and SMS/imessages to my laptop. I am giving the iphone back to her so if there i any way i can transfer the data without having to buy an application that would be helpful.
Sidenote: I'm not too familiar with iCloud but it is set to her account on the phone. If i delete her account and use mine what will get deleted?
After i get the data i want off the phone. How do i transfer the applications which i've backed up on my iTunes on my Mac back to the phone so i can give it back to her as received?
Any help would be much appreciated. I erased all of the music on my brothers itunes account when i transferred songs to my ipod so a little anxious about using iTunes.

It was locked to Vodafone Australia and i had to unlock it so that i could put an international sim card in it. Because i was running out of time, i went in-store and asked the Vodafone staff and they said i can unlock it using iTunes. I had to google the instructins however as i wasn't sure of what buttons to press. So i went home and went through the whole process only to have it fail at the very end. I went in-store and the staff showed me how to restore files back to my sister's phone and was finally unlocked.

Am i able to transfere data from iphone to ipad

I am planing to purchase a new ipad, and i want to transfere my content of the iphone to it.
Is it posible to do that through the PC, or the blutooth, without internet connection ?.

You can't do it via bluetooth, but you should be able to copy all your iTunes purchases from your phone to your computer's iTunes (File > Transfer Purchases) and then backup up the phone and restore that backup onto the iPad. A backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content and settings, so you need the apps on your computer's iTunes (e.g. via Transfer Purchases) for them to then be restored with their content.
The contents of the Music and Videos apps also aren't included in a backup, and neither are photos that were synced from a computer.

Transferring data from iPhone to new hard drive

If I get a new hard drive on my MacBook, how do I go about transferring my data on my iPhone to the new hard drive without losing the data?

What data?
The iphone is not a back up device. Where is your back up? Using your back up is the simplest way.
If you have at least one unique contact and calendar entry in your computer, you should get the option to merge the data when you first sync.
You can transfer itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchase
The other music and pics cannot be synced back to the computer -it is a one way sync -computer to iphone.

Transfering data from iPhone 4 to 4s

I had a disaster with my iPhoto library and am slowing recovering pictures which are now a huge mess. In the midst of this my new iPhone 4s will arrive today. My current iPhone 4 has a large number of pictures properly organized. My question is provided this phone is properly backed up, when I restore the new iPhone 4S will the pictures be transferred. I am concerned iTunes might rely on iPhoto to transfer pictures and if the iPhoto library does not have the pictures on my iPhone 4 they will be lost. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Transferring data from iphone 3G to 3GS + something that makes this complex

My father passed away this past week, and gave me his new iPhone 3GS to replace my current 3G model. Once I have AT&T switch me over to the 3GS phone, then I know I need to perform a restore back-up to transfer all of my data over. Hopefully that will be easy.
Here's my question: I want to transfer the apps that my dad had purchased over to my account as well. How can I do that?
Also, I'm currently using my business laptop as my primary iTunes, but I want t switch to my personal computer now and have my library and everyone on it. How can I do that?
Thanks -

really there is no changing your account in iTunes. All you need to do is authorize your new main computer for your account and your dads account (sorry to hear about your loss btw).

Transferring data from iphone to new computer

Please can someone help me and tell me how to do this? i am only semi computer literate and have spent hours trying to work this out! I still ahve my old computer but it is so ancient it cannot really be accessed successfully,
i have bought a laptop but need to transfer my iphone stuff onto my itunes account on my laptop but everytime i try to sync it just tells me that i can only sync with one computer at a time and i have no idea how to in effect de-register with the old one so i can successfully transfer all my phones into onto my laptop?
please can someone help me and prevent me going insane!

The iphone is not a backup device. It simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.
You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old comptuer, to your new one.

Is it possible to retrieve data from iPhone 5 after "restoring to factory setting?" (Not from iTunes)

I accidentally restored BF's phone back this latest back-up which was March 2013... Some of his data were saved on iCloud but not everything. I don't understand why it only picked certain things to store in iCloud and not everything! For exmaple, few photos were saved on his Photostream album on his phone. Photos taken in the last two weeks were saved but not before that to March 2013. So I'm looking for a way to retrieve data directly from the iphone and not through ITUNES. Please let me know if there's hope!

Photostream only keeps photos for the last 30 days. Resign yourself to the fact that the rest of them are gone.

Any way to transfer selected data from iphone to iphone?

MY problem is: I bought iPhone 6, when I transfered data from iphone 5 through iTunes, 3G on iphone 6 didnt work, i erased contents and settings, it fixed it, the problem was in the backup file actually!! Now i need a way to transfer SMS, whatsapp messages, viber messages and calls!
icloud backup wont work, whatsapp chat backup stuck forever... And i cant use iTunes again!!!
is there any other way to solve this??

Hi,
You can transfer the purchased content from your iPhone to iTunes as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
The other music would have to be imported into iTunes again. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1209 provides more information.

Hook the phone to the computer, open the Computer icon and look for the iPhone folder. Copy the images. Not difficult at all. Sync your contacts with Outlook through iTunes. Not really so difficult.
