Unable to sync my new Iphone with my old Iphones backup

Hi,
My Iphone 3G didn't recharge anymore, so now they gave me a complete new Iphone 3G.
The problem I have atm is that i cannot sync the new Iphone with the old Iphones backup. My contacts were only sychronised between the Iphone and Itunes, but because of the different IMEI number i cannot get my contacts back...
Help!!

To Reply..
1) Tried with Alarm disabled.. Does not sync Contact
2) Tried syncing Contacts and Calendars bith again... Does not Sync .. shown unsucessful.
3) tried syncing calendar only.... Works fine..
4) Theres no conflict resolution poping up.
5) I have various clanders being shown on my Q -10.
I have disabled 'Home' calendar and Kept "BBLink' calendar ON (abled) as I was getting double entries after syncing with mycomputer.
Would this create any issues with the entiries/ changes that I make either on the Computer or my BB?
Thanks and Regards

I used icloud to sync my new mini2 with my old ipad-3 do

I used icloud to sync my new mini2 with my old ipad-3 everything went fine. I use itunes to BU my ipad & mini, and do not need family icloud. Is there any reason to stay signed in to icloud with my devices. Won't my ipad & mini sync contacts, calender etc. to each other with out icloud?
Thanks!

Thanks Winston. I asked because I can't get my Mini2 calender to sync with my ipad or outlook calender. Trying to eliminate what I don't need. I have everything set up properly AFAIK. Do I need something like a Exchange account to get the Mini calender to sync, or should it sync automatically.
Ipad has been upgraded to iso 8.1.2. and it sync's to outlooks calender and vice versa, just Mini2 calender won't sync.
thanks

HT1386 I accidentally synced my new iPad with an old iPod Touch Device, can I undo that? How?

I just got my iPad a half hour ago and by mistake instead of listing it as a new iPad I clicked sync with an old ipod touch. What do I do?!!?

If you want to start all over again - erase it - if that is what you are asking. Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and Settings.
If you have a backup of another iPad, restore from that backup and sync again with iTunes. Connect the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes, right click on the iPad name on the left side under devices and select - Restore from backup. Select the iPad backup from the pop up window and then sync with iTunes after the iPad finishes restoring,

Creating New db(with new name) with the old db backup sql server 2008

Friends..
version: Sql Server 2008
I have a database in a name college1 (more than 200 tables and view etc...)
i want to create a new db with all the structures including the data of the above db college1 with a new name college2
so...i finished the step 1 successfully.. what are the other steps i have to do...like validating the invalid objects. etc....
Step 1:
RESTORE DATABASE college2 FROM DISK = 'D:\DailyDBbackup\college1.bak'
WITH replace,
move 'college2 ' TO 'D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\college2 .mdf',
move 'college2 _log' TO 'D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\college2 _log.ldf';
step 2: ?
Step 3: ?
thanks...

but...when i type
use college1
select * from (it will display all tables under the above db)
but when i do..
use college2
select * from (only system tables are displaying..)
Did restore completed successfully ? If yes Expand database , can you see tables in the new database you restored ?. Sometimes when you type incorrect word which does not matches anything you wont get help from intellicense you should not be worried about this
if tables are there in new database college 2

Hello Zuhaib,
Sorry to hear that your iPhone is currently not recognized by iTunes. I found an article with steps you can take when you experience an issue like this. I wasn't sure whether you were using a Windows or Mac computer, so I included the respective articles for each:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I synced my new iPad with my new macbook and when I tried to then sync my iPhone as well it says that all apps will be replaced with apps in my library. How do I sync without losing all of my existing iPhone apps?

My guess is that you previously synced the iPhone with a different computer in the past. You will probably want to set up Home Sharing.

Re: check that the appointments in my phone are going into iCloud calendars....exactly how do I do this? I fear this is a really stupid question!
My iCloud account is set up with my Apple ID as one email account (for example [email protected]) which is the email account I use to sign up for internet sites like Amazon, Apple,etc, so that I can differentiate vendors/mass emails. But my default calendar on my iPhone is in a different email name (ie [email protected]) which I use for most communications to friends, relatives, etc. and it is this account that holds most of my appointments. To further complicate things I have other email accounts that I use for business/professional and community work. If I want all my calendars to show on my iPhone AND sync to my iCloud, do I set this at the phone level or the iCloud level? or both?
Let me clarify....It looks like if I go into appointments that I previously set up through my personal account (ie above [email protected]) and edit the entry on my iPhone, selecting the iCloud "home" calendar within the entry, it will then sync to my iCloud account, no problem....do I have to do this to EVERY entry I have? or is there a way to name my personal account as one to sync to iCloud?

Syncing iTunes on a new PC with my existing iPhone

Hello
My friend has a new Windows 7 PC. His old one (with his old iTunes) died. He downloaded iTunes on the new PC and is trying to sync his iPhone to it. He logged into iTunes and the music store using the same info he uses to download apps on his iPhone.
When he tries to sync the phone with the PC, it asks him to erase the iPhone in order to use it with iTunes. but he has no apps or music on the PC.
How can he sync his new iTunes with his phone's apps, music, movies etc?

Some of the items are not purchased (things like MP3s).
What should he do about these?
Also, if he does this and syncs, will it save his favorites lists, addresses, and other info?

How do I retreive my old pictures that I took on my new Iphone before synching with my computer? I entered sync with my old iphone instead of my new one!

How do I retrieve the photos taken on my new Iphone after syncing with my computer. I entered sync with my old Iphone instead of sync with new one.

Certain "lines" in my touch screen would not work... the "send" button on the touch screen would not send, then the "slide to unlock" button would work sometimes and not at others... and if i tried to force certain actions by double clicking or screen shots, the entire screen would start to "gitter" and dance back and forth.... then some times it would select a command and continue to do it over and over and over again without my touching the screen at all.

I have synced my new iPhone 4S with my old iphone 3S and i can't invite with my calendar? Please help!

Hi All,
I have synced my new iPhone 4S with my old iphone 3S and i can't invite any contacts with my calendar?
is there something I have not done properly to do this or do I need to update calendar software or is this an App thing?
Please help!

Go to iTunes Settings, on the Devices tab you will see a list of all available backups. If you don't see the one you're looking for there it doesn't exist to restore your phone to it. Also, if you want to prevent iTunes from syncing automatically you can check "Prevent...from syncing automatically" on the Devices preferences screen.
If you do see the backup you are trying to restore to listed here, you should be able to right-click on the name of your phone and select it to restore from. When you right-click on your phone you should see these choices, where "iPhone" is the name of your phone:

I just got my new i phone 5 s and did all the syncing and backing up for my old iphone 4s and set my 5 up and synced it on itunes. It synced evrything but the contacts and other minor things. those were the only things that really transfered. My apps and all my music did not. Tthe thing is when i just went to go manually start dowmloading a few of the songs that i knew i already bought , itunes is making me pay forthem again. Its not saying instal like it usuall does when you go download something aleady purchased on your itunes account. I think or thought it might have something to do with the fact that i just changed my apple id name right before i got my new phine but my apps all re-downloaded (manually-no syncing) without making me pay for them again. i dont want to have to purchase allllll my songs again. Can someone please help me!! Itried going back to my old id or signing out of this id and signing in as my old apple id but now it wot even get on that oneits likjeit doesnt exist anymore.. And when i plug my old phone it shows in the itunes everything thats supposed to be there but all that doesnt stay in the itunes when i actually un plug it so when i plug my 5 in to my computer none of the stuff is in the store for me to actually transfer it I am so good with technology and this has me stumped please help

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

" how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
You cannot. Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

Can you merge Iphone data from a new iphone with an old back up?

I am looking for some advice.
I recently had my my iPhone and my MacBook Pro stolen at the same time. Fortunately I managed to get a new iPhone on my insurance which I received before I bought myself a new MacBook. I resorted my MacBook from a back up I kept separately. I wan't to sync my new iPhone with my previous iPhone data held on my iTunes. I would like to do this without loosing the SMS messages, apps and data held on my current iPhone. The other issue is that my new iPhone has a newer version of iOS then my previous iPhone.
Is it simply a case of just plugging my phone into iTunes and it will automatically sync the data and merge them or will I have to so something else to merge the two accounts?
Thank you in advance,
Best Wishes,
Jamie

Sorry, you can't do what you want. The restore from backup process is all or nothing. Yes, you can restore from your previous phone's backup, but you will lose all new data...not in that backup...currently on your phone. There is no supported way to merge this data.

I tried to sync the music on my PC with my old iPhone, but all of my songs on iTunes were deleted, How do I get them back?

I tried to sync the music on my PC with my old iPhone, but all of my songs on iTunes were deleted, How do I get them back? When I go to the iTunes store and look at the songs I hade before, it says I already purchased them, but when I go back to my library, they are all gone. I thought it was just removing the songs from my phone, but now I have no music on my phone or PC. Please help!

The sync is one way - computer to iphone.
You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
