Unable to transfer applications and music after changing from iphone 3GS to iphone 4

I just switced from an uphone 3GS to and iphone 4. Before doing so i ran a backup on my iphone 3GS. after getting the iphone 4 i ran a restore.
Most of the settings are in tact except i no longer have any applications or music.
Please advise how i can restore these settings as well.
Thank you.

Did you use the same account settings for your new phone? Did you check if there are any restrictions set for app installation in Settings/General/Restrictions?
Restoring from a backup does not include the music files or apps. You'll have to select them again and sync. Only app data and settings are part of the backup. See what else is saved here: iPhone and iPod touch: About backups

    You cannot merge two Apple IDs. You cannot share purchases with other Apple IDs although there is a temporary form of sharing.

  • How can I transfer pdf and word document files from my computer to iphone 4?

    Hi,
    I have recently purchased an iphone 4,I need to know how to transfer my files from laptop to iphone, i have downloaded iTunes but can not add my iphone, basically I dont know if there is anything else i should do to be able to connect my laptop to iphone so that i can easily transfer files.
    Also,does any body know what application i can open my word documents with?
    and how easy it is to search through the file for a specific topic if its for example 1000 pages? how about in pdf files? how can i find a topic i need as fast as possible, say in an open book exam condition?!!
    thanks

    Try using the App PDF Reader Lite, I downloaded from the iTunes App store, it is free and works. Not only for PDF but Doc, page, etc.
    I Am using it and it is working oK

  • HT4859 I am unable to recover a rented movie after changing one iPad for another. Music and books were easily restored

    I am unable to restore a rented movie after Changing out my iPad for a new one. All music and books were restored easily

    PS - have found other posts indicating that clips smaller than 2s or sometimes 5s, or "short files" can cause this. Modern style editing often uses short takes ! Good grief I cannot believe Apple. Well I deleted a half a dozen short sections and can export, but now of course the video is a ruined piiece of junk and I need to re-do the whole thing, the sound etc. which is basically taking as much time as the original. And each time I re-do it I risk again this lovely error -50 and again trying to figure out what thing bugs it via trial and error instead of a REASONABLE ERROR MESSAGE POINTING TO THE CLIP IT CAN'T PROCESS. What a mess. I HATE this iMovie application - full of BUGS BUGS BUGS which Apple will not fix obviously, since I had this product for a few years and see just hundreds of hits on Google about this error with disappointed users. Such junk I cannot believe I paid money for it and Apple does not support it with fixes !!!
    If anyone knows of a GOOD reasonably priced video editing program NOT from APPLE I am still looking for suggestions. I want to do more video in future, but obviously NOT with iMovie !!!

  • Trying to change ownership of my old iPod. The advice here is to go to "Devices" "Summary" "Restore", but I find "Devices" does not offer "Restore" but only "Sync", "Transfer", "Backup", and a greyed "Restore from backup."

    Trying to change ownership of my old iPod. The advice here is to go to "Devices">"Summary">"Restore", but I find "Devices" does not offer "Restore" but only "Sync", "Transfer", "Backup", and a greyed "Restore from backup."

    What I don't understand is that your iTunes looks different from mine--just a little bit. You have 3 circles, red, yellow, and green, in the upper right end of the top bar. INstead I have a square that is half gray. When I click it, I get a menu very similar to the menu under "File."
    The only place I see an entry for "Devices" is under "File," but it only gives the 4 options I mentioned before (see below). There is no "Summary."
    Here's another screen shot after I added an album to music. Now all the choices under "Devices" are grayed.

  • I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library.  However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.

    I don't see anything in Help that shows when you already have transfered all the files over.  Why would it want to erase and sync when I already have all the music folder copied over?  I didn't have an issue when I had another technician copy from one laptop to another.  Home sharing is also on but not being recognized.

    I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • How to transfer images and music from PC (Windows 7) to iPhone?

    Hello:
    Could someone please inform me how can I transfer images and music from a PC (Windows 7) to my iPhone (3GS)?

    Hi, RichardParker,
    I have also meet problems to transfer music from PC to iPhone, and I had solved it now. You can do the following steps,
    1. Copy music to your phone memory
    2. Exported contacts to SD Card (on Android phone) in VCard format
    3. Transfered VCard file from SD Card to PC
    4. Created a Google Account
    5. Opened the Google Account from a browser (on PC), go to Contacts, and then uploaded VCard contacts to the Google account
    6. Configured the iPhone (using a separate Windows user account - so as to allow for importing pictures & videos through iTunes)
    7. Created a "CardDAV" account on the iPhone and synchronised all Contacts
    If you have any question ,you can ask me about iPhone Transfer. And I hope the steps above works.

  • FaceTime and activate after changing operator?

    FaceTime and activate after changing operator?

    I recently changed my Apple ID and, initially hit all sorts of problems (ML & iOS5.1). AppleTV very confused, Calandar duplicating entries on an iPad, but losing them on the Mac (but being correct on iCloud.com).
    The solution ended up being straightforward, if unnecessarily annoying.
    On the Mac - in SysPrefs (iCloud) turn off all syncs and sign out. Delete items from the Mac (in response to the prompt).
    On the iPad - in settings do the same.
    On the ATV - turn off Home Sharing.
    In iTunes - log out of the Apple Store
    Sign out on iCloud.com and sign back in using a @me.com email address (not the Apple ID)
    Reestablish iCloud sync (etc) by signing in using the email address (not the ID).
    It appears that everything collects the new Apple ID using the email address and they all play nicely together again.

    I have a hitachi hard drive from an old pc. I would like to transfer pics and music to my new macbook air. What cord do I need to make this possible?

    Some external cases include cords others (like some printers) consider the cord to be "optional" - read the package or product description. Other World Computing, HH Greg, OfficeMax, any box store or local computer store should have a case for your old drive.
    You are fortunate in that the Mac will automagically read the DOS format disk... you'd never be able to connect and old Mac HD to a WinDUHows machine.
