Transferring from iphone 4s to iphone5

how to transfer my data and apps to iphone5

I have just upgraded from my iPhone 4 8gb IOS 6 to a new iPhone 5 16gb IOS 6. I backed up my data to iTunes and then reinstalled it to my new iPhone 5 without problems.
I think you should be aware that Apple automatically downloads IOS 7 on to your phone during this proceedure without your knowledge. You are then stuck with a large unusable file unless you want IOS 7 installed. In my case, the whole object of upgrading phones was to gain more space. I now have a new iPhone 5 with IOS 6 installed with 3gb being used up by IOS 7.
I see that a lot of people have complained to Apple about this, and some have even started legal proceedings against them.

HT201269 Transferred from iPhone 3GS to 4. Backed up and restored, perfect. New phone is connected to our wireless but is still giving me the "no service" in the upper left corner. Help????

Transferred from iPhone 3GS to 4. Backed up and restored smoothly. Still getting a "no service" message in the upper left corner of new phone. Help?.....

Sounds like your iPhone was hacked to unlock and now updating locks back to the original carrier.
Where did you get the iPhone?

Once photos transferred from iPhone 4S to PC, unable to edit them.

I transferred all photos from my iPhone 4S to my PC (Windows Vista). They are in my Windows gallery. However, I am not able to edit them. I want to rotate them, as most of them are sideways.. My PC gives me this error message "This photo cannot be saved because of a problem with the photos properties". It's in JPEG format so I am not sure why it won't let me. It's for all pictures that are transferred from iPhone to PC. Any suggestions?

That worked, however, a lot of work to do for all pictures. I noticed though, that these are the pictures I take with the camera vertically. When I take pictures holding camera horizontally, they transfer over correctly. If I take the vertical picture and change it to horizontal before sending to my email, it will then be able to be rotated in Windows. So it seems as though any pictures taken vertically willl transfer over horizontally, needing to be rotated, but only Paint will allow me to do that. Make sense? Any setting on the iPhone that will correct this, when taking pictures vertically? Most of the time, that's how I take pictures.

I lost pictures while transfering from iphone to mac, how to get then back?

I lost 952 pictures after transferring then from my Iphone4 to Iphoto on my mac... While iphoto was finishing the transfer, it asked me if i would like to delet photos from iphone and I answred Yes... but some problem happens to Iphoto, and I have had to do the "force quit" with it... after all... when I opened Iphoto to see the pictures... it was not there... neither in my Iphone... Where I can find it back??

You get one download only.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Use your backup to put everything back.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow it.

HT4906 I have upgraded to mountain lion - why aren't my photos transferred from Iphone automatically

automatically from iphone?

First you must meet the necessary system requirements on both your Mac and Mobile device:
iCloud: System requirements
Mac
OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later
iTunes 11 or later (for iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match)
iPhoto ’11 version 9.4 or later or Aperture 3.4 or later (for Photo Stream)
Safari 6 or later (for iCloud.com, Bookmarks, and iCloud Tabs), Firefox 16 or later or Chrome 23 or later (for iCloud.com)
iWork '09: Pages 4.3 or later, Number 2.3 or later, and Keynote 5.3 or later (for purchase from the Mac App Store)
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
iOS 6 or later
Next you need to setup iCloud on both devices by logging in to the same iCloud account and then enabling Photo Sharing as follows:
On your Mac:
On your iPhone, iPad:
And in iPhoto:
That should automatically import all of the photos taken on your mobile device into your iPhoto Library on your Mac.

Transferring apps from iphone 4 to iphone5

I have a new iPhone5 & successfully transferred contacts & other data successfully fro my old iPhone4, but haven't been able to transfer the apps from my old iPhone. I transferred purchased apps to my Mac, but my iPhone5 isn't compatible with the version of iTunes I have, it indicates I need version 10.7, but my Mac has OS X 10.5.8 which isn't compatible with version 10.7. I'd really like to be able to manually sync my iPhone 5 with iTunes, but haven't found a way to download iTunes version 10.7 since I need version OS X 10.6.8 or later.

Are you on wifi? You can always sync with your PC if the apps are local and that would speed it up dramatically.

HT1296 Reading books on computer after being transferred from iphone

I have purchased books on my iphone 4s and transferred them to my computer. The pictures of the books are on my computer but I can't open them to read. Can anyone help please

If these are iBooks, there is no app that allows you to read iBooks on the Mac or PC. If these are books from another source, you need to check with the source for an app that is Mac or PC compatible.

Transfering from iPhone 4 (iOS 6.1.3) to iPhone 4S (iOS 7)

Hi guys.
Here's the thing: I've been using an iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3 and just bought an iPhone 4S with iOS 7 already installed. My question is this: The newer iOS will be overwritten with the older backup when transfering/syncing from iTunes, returning the iPhone 4S to iOS 6.1.3?
Or will just "port" all the info, contacts, apps, etc. to the newer iOS?
Thanks and see you around!

Try MobileTrans, it's working fine, but a bit expensive...
After installing this, you'll Be able to send/recieve music, photos and Videos over bluetooth. Works fine with all mobile phones and iDevices ...

Transferring from iphone to computer

My father has just received an iphone from his grandaughter and it still has her music and photos on it, which we want to put onto the computer - plus we want to save his contacts that he has put on there already.
Then we can put the phone back to factory settings to get rid of unwanted stuff and put the photos, music and contacts back on.
However, he doesn't have an apple account to synch it onto the computer and the phone is still under his grandaughters account.
I am worried that in the process of changing the phone from her account to a new one, we will lose the music, photos and contacts.
What to do, what to do???

Follow these directions, & you will be OK.
Launch iphoto(if you have it), connect your phone & import your photos into iphoto, only the photos in your camera roll can be imported this way, without third party software, you will lose the rest. Before you connect your phone to the new computer's itunes, launch itunes and make sure you "authorize" this computer(Store, Authorize this Computer). Next go to Address book and enter one contact, it can be a fake contact if you like. Do the same with iCal, again it can be a fake entry. When you connect your phone to itunes & get the pop up message, cancel out. Now, go up to File, Transfer purchases from this ipod to this computer. All of your purchased content will now be transferred to your new computer(music & apps> you will lose saved data in the apps). Make sure that you select manually manage & not auto sync when your phone is connected.
Now, if you do the above you will only lose photos that are not in the camera roll & music you may have ripped on your own. If you want to keep this stuff, then you will have to purchase 3rd party software like "phoneview", there are others, you can google to find more.
Now you can decide what you want to do. When you hit sync, if that's your choice, make sure you select merge during the sync process for ical & address book.
Remember, the iPhone only supports syncing with one computer at a time.

How do I sync photos from iPhone 4S to iPhone5

Just upgraded from a 4s to a 5 but I can't sync the photos. All I get is old stuff from years ago and from different devices synced to iTunes

Song data no longer transferring from iPhone to iTunes since iOS 7 update?

I recently updated my iPhone with iOS 7 and iTunes to 11.1. Since I've done this, when I plug my phone into iTunes, iTunes does not register songs that I've recently listened to on my phone has having been played. The "Last Played" column does not update. This creates issues with my Smart Playlists, which I have set up to to choose only songs that I have not listened to in the last 5 weeks. I've tried creating a new Smart Playlist to see if the old ones just weren't working properly anymore, but that doesn't seem to be the issue. It's the lack of updating in the "Last Played" information for my songs. Does anyone know of something I can do to try and fix it? I really like having Smart Playlists that keep me from having to hear too many of the same songs over and over. Thanks!

HT4859 Why would I rather use I cloud backup when transferring from iPhone 4 to iPhone 5

Which is better to use to back up my iPhone 4 then transfer to iPhone 5. iTunes or iCloud.

Faster and I believe more reliable. However, be sure to sync photos to a computer before doing the switch. THAT is the safe way to transfer photos - too many users have gotten burned relying on getting back photos from an icloud backup.

Transferring from iPhone/iPad to Mac, same Apple ID.

I've recently taken the unbelievably over-complicated liberty of creating a new Apple ID for a number of reasons - the main one being I've put a lot of time into consolidating all my email address into my new @me.com address (rather like it), Apple won't let me change my old Apple ID primary address to this new email and, call it OCD, that irritates me. Also, a number of my details are incorrect and ones cannot be changed (in the developer area).
Fortunately I have only *purchased* 3 applications over the 3 years I've been using iPhones - I live off the free ones! I invested in a new iPad last week, hence all this change. I noticed yesterday that updating an application requires you to login to the account that you downloaded that app on, which is fair enough. So, I've literally re-downloaded every single app (bar the 3 paid ones: Pages, Whatsapp and Angry Birds, of course) on both my iPhone and iPad, today; fun.
Now, I have synced my iPad and iPhone to my iMac (I should probably spread my wings from Apple, I know). The iMac is fully up-to-date, latest iTunes/Lion, etc..
My questions are: If I go home and delete (well, archive) ALL the applications stored on my iMac within iTunes - bar the 3 paid ones - will they transfer from my iPhone + iPad back into iTunes? And, at this point, will that complete the move from one ID to another? If I delete them from iTunes, will this just remove them from my devices on next sync?
I don't mind entering old details for the 3 apps, in fact, it's only Pages I use and that was actually gifted to me - I'll re-purchase eventually.
A huge thank-you for reading and in advance for any responses - good or bad news!
All the best,
Andy
