Will activating/setting up the new phone de-activate the old phone
I took my wife's new phone to work to program the phone numbers and do the initial setup, but she has her old phone with her and needs it. I don't want to deactivate her current phone by trying to set up the new phone. The new phone says "Initial programming needed". Can I start to program her phone and not "activate/de-activate" or is it all or nothing?
Thanks in advance!
when you activate the new phone, the old phone should be turned off, and it becomes inactive
what kind of phone is it?
can you run backup assistant to have that transfer the numbers?

When setting up my new phone, the setup assistant didn't appear. Where can I find the "restore from icloud back up" option so I can transfer all my information?
You have to erase the phone an go back through the setup again. Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. Then go back through the setup screens again and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

HT1766 will "setting up as new phone" erase all information already on that phone?
Will "setting up as new phone" erase all information already on that phone?
Restoring is the process that sets it back to factory settings. Setting up as a new phone means that it will not use any potential backups and will be a clean slate with no data just as the day you first purchased it.

how do i restore my iCloud settings after my daughter has accidentally deleted them while setting up a new phone to the account?
Hello Emily,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you need to sign out of your previous Apple ID on your device, but do not know the password, then you will need to reset the password on that account. Since you do not have access to the email with that Apple ID, you will either have to reset the password using the security questions or contact Apple ID account security.
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support
Take care,

I got a new iphone but the laptop I used to set up the old phone died, so now all I have is an iPad. How do I get my apps, contacts etc on to my new phone?
sign in with your apple id on the new phone, then go to app store - update - purchase - all/not on this phone and hit the cloud next to the app to downlaod.

When setting up my new phone I must have skipped past the set up your phone on itunes. How do I go back and download all my stuff from my old phone?
Unless you have already loaded a bunch of data the easisest way would be to go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

That depends if you want your current data on your new phone, then restore from backup. IF you don't then set up as new.

I have restored my new phone from I cloud but when I connect to my PC to put some music on it asks for set up as new phone or back up from a date from iTunes that is too old. Help it's doing my head in
Select setup as "New", the next screen should prompt you to rename your phone. Just name it what you already have it named. After that, you should be able to sync and all of your data & settings will still be exactly as you've already set them up on your phone. The message is more threatening than what really happens.

Hi, I have recently upgraded from and Iphone 4 to 5. I completed a back up on my iphone 4 via icloud which went ok. When setting up my new phone I selected to set up as a new phone and not via icloud back up. Is there anyway I can restore my details to my new phone? Thanks Hayley
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to Settings > General > Software Update and install any updates available.
Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from. -
I want to know how I can get all my stuff from my iPhone 3 to my new iPhone five after I have already set up from new phone?
You can restore a backup of the old device to a new one. This will erase everything on the new one before restoring, so this may be an issue if you already have data on the new device.
To do a backup of the old device, iTunes is the safest route, in my opinion. Many users have lost photos when performing a restore from an icloud backup.
An icloud backup does not include everything. For example,only photos in camera roll are backed up. Also, music is not backed up since you get it back from itunes and (for purchased music) from the itunes store.
To restore:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your phone. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your phone is new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup. -
I have a new Mac Pro. I want to use my old Mac Pro as a storage drive for photos and old documents, linked to my new Mac Pro. How do I set up the old computer? Both computers have OS X10.9.3. Currently they are connected by a Firewire 800 cable.
You certainly could keep the old Mac Pro in Firewire mode (hold down the T key on its keyboard as you boot) to show its drives on the new MP. This is basically as fast as putting the drives into a Firewire enclosure.
Or you could boot it normally and share its files over the network using the Sharing panel of System Preferences. If you turn on both File and Screen Sharing, you don't even need to have a monitor attached - you can do all administration using screen sharing. However, this method requires that you open all files over the network, which will be slower than the direct-connect method above, and may also not work with all applications.

I have restored my new iphone 5 but everytime i plug it back into iTunes i am asked if i want to set up a new phone or restore it. I have already set it up and tried to restore it again thinking this might help but i still keep getting the same message. The phone is recognised and shows up in devices but i cannpt sync apps or anything to it.
Have you updated your iTunes on your computer? WIth a device running iOS7, you need iTunes 11.
When you removed iTUnes, did you see something named 'apple mobile device support' or something like it? (The exact name varies from operating system to operating system). If you see that, uninstall it too. That's the drivers for your iPhone and they should self-install when you plug your device in.
If all that is fine, have you checked your cable and USB port? a malfunctioning cable can keep you from syncing. -

If I restore & set up as new phone, can I save contact data?
I've been searching for a while but still can't find the information I'm looking for...
I have an iPhone3G on an O2-UK contract. When I first upgraded to iOS4, the MMS camera icon disappeared from the left of the message box, and I was unable to send or receive any picture messages.
Then, 2 weeks later, when I reset the network settings the Mobile (Cellular) Data Network option (under Settings > General> Network) completely disappeared leaving me utterly baffled. I wasn't too concerned about it before but now I need to send some photos and it's extremely annoying.
I've been to the local Apple Store and the O2 Store twice and neither of them were ultimately able to do anything about it. They changed the Mobile Data Network settings multiple times and instructed me to restore the phone also.
On my latest restore I completely erased all data from the phone and restored from a backup, but the problem was still there... I know it can't be a hardware problem because BETWEEN erasing the phone and restoring it from the backup the MMS icon and network options all reappeared.
My question is this: If, instead of restoring from the backup, I was to bite the bullet and set it up as a new phone, would I be able to keep all my contacts and other data? Is there a way to transfer my contacts temporarily to the SIM while I carry out the operation?
It's extremely annoying that such a simple operation is so difficult to find... Why are contacts, notes and calender events not available to view and edit in iTunes? I can't see any reason why Apple shouldn't include this obvious feature.Thanks for the advice wjosten. I haven't actually done the set-up-as-new-phone thing yet so it's not too late for me to do what you've suggested. There are still some problems though...
1. It says everywhere that contacts and calendar events are supposed to be synched with Outlook, however apparently Windows 7 Starter (for netbooks) does not come with Outlook at all. Can I get it for free somewhere or download some other program?
2. I've tried synching the ccalendar events with gmail, but it doens't work at all.
3. The only luck I've had in this regard is that I've managed to save about half of my notes to gmail, but another stupid little annoying thing which is bothering me is how to save all those un-backed-up notes in the "On My iPhone" account into the backed-up gmail account without moving each individual note one-by-one.
