Will I be able to sync/restore my iphone 5 from my iphone 4 backup?
As the title says, when I get my iphone 5 will I be able to restore the iphone 5 from my iphone 4 back up to save having to re-organise my apps, and losing my text messages etc?
Mine synced fine from my iphone 4 back up. The only thing was that it completely mirrored the 4 so only put 4 rows of apps per home screen on so had to rearrange the apps slightly. I back up to iTunes not iCloud though as you only have limited back up on iCloud unless you pay extra. Maybe reset and erase your iphone 5 and try again but check you still have your iphone 4 back up in iTunes first. If not and you have your 4 still, make a new back up to itunes then sync your 5 from this. I still sync basic stuff like contacts, calendar and notes to iCloud though, therefore Ill never lose them (in theory).
Are you using Mac or windows?

Will I be able to copy my text messages from my iphone 4 to my iphone 5 when I get it?
hey everyone, I was wondering if there is any way I will be bale to copy my text messages from my iphone 4 to my iphone 5 when I finally get it. The main reason is that I have a text message conversation on my phone with a very dear friend of mine who very recently committed suicide and I really don't want to lose that conversation. can anyone guide me in the right direction? Thanks
I believe this is possible if you backup with iTunes. I know that if you perform the upgrade successfully on the same device, the text messages do transfer. I would enable iCloud and let it backup everything (I don't really see a message backup specifically). Then I would backup with iTunes just in case iCloud didn't backup your text messages.

If I copy the Itunes folder from my old pc onto my new one in the music folder will I be able to sync just as if it were the old one? This is from a Widows Vista machine to Windows 7.
I suspect design rather than a bug, it's too useful. The behaviour seems to have been consistent for quite a long time on both Windows and Mac machines...
Here are the typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
In the layout above right, with the media folder (everything in the red box) inside the library folder, the library will be portable. A portable library can be moved from one path to another, or even between Windows & Mac computers, without breaking the links between the library and the media, and being self-contained is much easier to backup (You do backup, don't you?). Anything that isn't stored inside the media folder must stay put or be restored to precisely the same path on a new machine or iTunes won't know where to find it. Within the media folder the relative paths from the library to the media remain unchanged and iTunes can cope even when the absolute paths are updated.
Should your library not be in the usual layout I've written some general posts on how to make a split library portable or I can give specific instructions on request.

Will I b able to copy my music library from PC to I pad while sync and listen to it without sync at a remote place. Is it possible without iTunes Match?
Yes. As long as all your songs you lost have been Matched or Uploaded to iTunes Match you can download your entire library from the cloud.
It might take some time though -

Yes, but all the data from your sisters PC will be erased and replaced with yours, which is probably what you want anyhow.

If I replace my 2005-era iPod with a new nano, will I be able to sync my existing content? Currently my Windows 8 will not allow me to access my music, etc., although I can see it. Took forever to event get iTunes to recognize my device--lots of removing of Apple software, downloading again, etc.
You can sync from your computer to your ipod.

If i restore my new iphone from my last backup will it delete all of the new content that I currently have on my phone? would it be better off to set it up as a new iphone? and if i set it up as a new iphone what will that do?
If you restore from your last backup, it will replace what you now have on your phone. If you set it up as new, you will have a phone just out of the box without any of your data on it. You can download any apps again. You can sync your music through iTunes.

I was trying to setup a new ipad. After resetting and erasing the content on the ipad, I would like to restore the ipad from the old backup. Unfortunately the device is not appearing in the list of devices. The sync option under devices is not also active. How else can I restore the ipad?
Sorry, you can't extract those photos from the old device unless you restore the new phone from that backup.
You could of course use a third party software to extract those pics but it will cost you.
If you still have the old phone import those pics to your computer and then sync those photos to your new phone via itunes. -
I am not able to sync my outlook contacts with my iphone (both ways) noting that the calendar and notes are suncing perfectly (both ways)?
You cannot sync Outlook 2011 directly with an iPhone, but if you go to the Tools menu and choose Sync Services, you can have Outlook sync with iCal and Address Book, which will then sync with the iPhone. And if your business is using Microsoft Exchange, you can set the iPhone up to communicate and sync directly with the Exchange server.

gentlemen, i am not able to sync all my contacts on my iphone to Microsoft outlook. i have 396 contacts on my iphone and only 385 in my outlook. can you please help?
Hi Kinnera2740,
On the old phone go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Are there any email accounts listed here? Such as Google, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc?
If so, tap on each of them and check the 'Contacts' option. If it is turned on, this means that contact syncing is enabled for that account and that your contacts may already be synced to that mail account.
Also check Settings > iCloud and look for the 'Contacts' option. Is it enabled? If so, then it is possible that some contacts could be synced to your iCloud account as well. You can check to see which contacts are in which account by going to the Contacts app on your old phone and pressing the 'Groups' button in the top left corner. You may see several groups here. Uncheck all groups and then check each group one at a time to check and see how many contacts are synced to each account. You may need to add the same mail accounts to your new phone and enable contact syncing to have the contacts from the mail servers sync down to the new phone. -
