How to transfer all of my information from one iPhone to another?
My parents told me I will be getting the iPhone 5 for Christmas.
I already have the iPhone 4S but my father will be having this tomorrow when I get my new phone.
I was just wondering, how do I get all of my pictures, music and apps onto my new phone whilst clearing my old iPhone so that my father can have it? I will be using the same SIM card in my new phone that I have in my current one.
My mum says that she knows how to do it and it's something to do with iTunes but I'd like a little insight from other people.
If you take it to the Apple store or the store of whatever carrier you have (I.e AT&T, Verizon) they can do it for you there. It's called backup assistant and it puts all your old info on your new phone.
When you connect your iPhone to your computer, using the usb cable, go onto iTunes and you'll a 'summary' of your iPhone - the model. Under that is 'backups' choose 'This computer'. Sync all your information. Plug your new iPhone into the computer, making sure it is the latest update - the same as your old one - and choose 'Restore iPhone'.It'll ask if you want to set it up as a new phone or restore from backup so choose restore. After that you sync the iPhone and everything should be there.
- Transfer Music from One iPhone to Another? So i got a new iPhone today and i want to put my music from my old iPhone to my new one. However, i do not want to put all of the songs from my iTunes library onto my new phone, i just want the songs from the old phone.
